ion, hos been made the subject of
serious romolslraHce at Madrid, and
have no reason to doubt that due respect
viii b. paid by the Government Of Her
Catholic Majesty TO the representations
which our MiA.ster has been instructed
TO make on lhe subject. II is but justice
10 the Captain General to state that his
conduct tJwur,ls the Gamers employed
TO carry the mails of the United States to
Havana, has, with the exceptions above
alluded 10, been marked with kindness
and liberality. and indicate no general
purpose of I'M. rtcring with the CONNER
ciai core spoudence and intercourse be
tween that island and this country.
Early Ia ihe present year, official
notes were received from The Ministers
of France and England, inviting the gov
eminent OF the United States to bt come
party it'll Great Britain and France
10 a tripuriile Convention, in virtue Of
which tie three powers should severallv
and collectively discldim, now and for
the future, aH intentions to obtain the
possession of Cuba, and should bind
themselves 10 di-countenance all attempts
to thul eli c. on the part Of any power or
individual hatever. This invitation has
been respectfully declined, for reasons
winch ii would occupy too much space
in this communicated to state in detail,
but which led me to think that the pro-
posed measure would be Of doubtful con
s;iiu;oHality, impolitic, and unavailing.
have, however, in common with seve-
raj Of nv predecessors, directed the Min
listers Of France and England to be assured
that tire L $. entertain no designs
agaius' Cuba, but that on the contrary, |
should regard lis Incorporation into the
Union at the present time as fraught with
serious pcril-Wcre this island com
paratjyely destitute of inhabitants, or oc-
cupicl by a kindred race, | should regard
IT, if voluntarily coded by Spain, as
most desirable acquisition but under
existing circumstances, | should look
upon is incorf grafton into our Union as
very Laz rtous measure.
4: would bring into the c9nfederacv a
population Of "a di.F rent NATIONAL stock :;
speaking different language, and not
likely 10 harmonize with the other
members. Ii would probably affect in a
prcma.5cil manner the industrial in
ter SIS Of The South, and it might revive
Those conflicts of opinion between the
dil.Ieat sections Of ihe country, which
lately shook the Union to its centre. and
whc4 have been sohappily compromised.
In rejection by the Mexican Con
grcss IF the Convention which had been
coroIu.ied between that Republic and
the H. s, for the protection of a transit
way across the lsthmus Of Tehu antepec
ana Of the inter, SIS of those citizens Of
the u. ). who had become possessed of
the rights which Mexico conferred on
one OF her own citizens in regard TO that
transit has thrown a serious obstacle in
the way Of the attainment of very
d s.raIde national object | am still will
ling J2 hape that the ditIicultc, on the
subject which exist, or may hereafter
arise, between the Governments, viii be
a.-icahIv adjusted,
The Subject however, has already en-
gagged ,hr attention OF the Senate of the
United States, and requires no further
comment in ihlS communication.
The settlement Of the question re-
speeding the Port Of San Juan de Nj
eara1ul and the controversy between the
republics Of Costa Rica and Nicaragua
in r1ari to their boundary was con-
SD indispensable 10 the commence
mcnt Of the Ship Canal between the two
oceans which was the subject ofthe con
veut.#u between the u. s. and Great
Britain in 1850. Accordingly, pro-
position ir the same purpose addressed
to tie TWO gov rumcnts in that quarter
and % the Mosquito Indians, was agreed
to in April last, by the Secretary Of State
and The Minister Of herBrjtannic Majesty.
j, Sides the wish 10 aid in recOnciling
the dill rene 5 between the two republics,
| engaged iii the negotiations from a de-
sire 90 piac. the great work Of a ship
canal between the two oceans under one
Jurisdiction, ami 10 establish the impOr-
iaut pl.gr of San Juan de Nicaragua under
the government Of a civilized people.
The proposition was asseuted to by Costa
Rica gud the siosquito Indians. 1t has
not uraycd equally acceptable to Nj
caraEus but il is TO be hoped that the
further negotiations, on the subject,
which are IN tram, Will be carried on IN
lha, -pIgit Of cancellation and compromise
which ought always 10 prevail on such
occasions, and that they viii lead to a
salts factory result.
