circumstances of the case, were jus
tiiable, and their conduct has pee
fully approved by me, and a cohpli
Iance with the several demands Of th
Emperor of Austria has been de
clined.
For more full account of thi
transaction, and my views in rdsarC
to it. | refer 10 the correspond Enc
between the charge d'afaireH 0
Austria aud the Secretary of State
which is herewith transmitted. Th,
princ ciples and policy therein ID iain
tanned on the part Of the UtIite(
States, will, whenever a propeH oc.
casion occurs, be applied and en-.
\ forced.
The condition of Chiha. at this
time, renders it probable that s pine
important changes will occur in that
vast empire, which will lead to a
more unrestricted intercoI Irse wi th it.
The Commissioners to tha t cou tItry,
who has been recently appointed, is
instructed to avail himself of all
occasions to open and extend our
com mercial relations. not only with
the empire Of China, but with 3ther
Asiatic nations.
In 1852, an expedition was Fent
to Japan, under the command of
Com modore Perry, for The purpdfe Of
opening conn lercial intercourse with
that. island. Intelligence has been
received of his arrival there, adH Of
his having m hde known to the En-
peror of Japan the object of his Wis
it. but it is not yet ascertained how
far the Emperor will be disposel to
abandon his restrictive policy, and
open that populous country to4a com
mercial intercourse with the United
States. H
1t has been my earnest desire to
maintain friendly intercourse with
the governments is upon this conti-
nent, and to aid them in preserving
good understanding among them
selves. With Mexico, dispute has
arisen as to the true boundary line
between our territory of New Mexi-
co, and the Mexican State Of Chihu-
ahua. A former commissioner Of
the United States, employed in run
ming that line, pursuant to the treaty
of Guadalupe HidalSo, made Sc
rious mistake in determining the mi
tial point on the Rio Grande; but
as his decision WAS clearly
a departure from the directions for
tracing tie boundary contained in
that treaty, and was not concurred in
by the surveyor appointed on the
part of the United States whose
WAS necessary to give
to that decisi on, this gov
is not conclu uded there eby;
but that of NJ Mexico tai l<es difle rent
view of the subject.
There are also, othd questions Of
magnitude pending be-
tween the two republics. Our min
ster in Mexido has q mplo insfruc-
ions to adjust the m. Negotia-
ions have been open ed, but sufli-
:ient progress has II OF been made
herein to enable me to speak Of the
probable resul |. Impressed with the
mpo, tance of maintai ming amicable
citations with that republic, and of
Yielding with liberallty to all her just
;laims, it is reasonable to expect that
IN arrangement 1t mutually satisfacto-
y to both co untries may be conclu-
led, and asting frien ndship between
hem con6rmd d and perpetuated.
Congress aving provided for
ull mission I'd the States Of Ce ntral
America, a mi mister was sent thither
n July last. AS yet he has had
ime to visit only one Of these
States, (Nicaragua) where he was re-
eived in the most friendly manner.
t IS h epea that his presence and
,ood offices will have benign effect
n composing the dissentions which
,reyail among them, and in establish
ng still more intimate and friendly
elations between them respectively, /
nd between each Of them and the
United States.
Considering the vast regions of
bis cont he ut, and the number Of
states which would be made accessi-
lie by the free navigation of the riv-
r Amazon, particular attention has
cen given to this subject. Bra razilI
trough whose territories it passes
lto the ocean, has hitherto persist
