THE PREsIDnXr's MEssAGE.-This i'm
por'snt document. was delivered to Con
gfess on Tuesday last, and we had hopet
to be able to lay i, before portion, at least
Of our readers by yesterday noon, having
made arrangements (while in Washington q
few days since) to obtain a sufficient. mum.
her of copies for our subscribers, which
were TO have been sent by the mail steamer
10 Marbury's Landing We have reason to
believe that The package was placed on
board and that the agent failed to deliver
them al the landing. They may, probably,
be received to-day; if SO, they will be mailed
Immediately to our subscribers.
As substitute for the Message, we offer
for the present the following notice of il.
written by the editor of the Baltimore Sun:
II is plain written document, embrac-
ing careful and deliberate survey Of the
affairs of the Union, and all the incidental
relations pertaining 10 its varied interests.
Several of the topics introduced to our
with respect 10 the United States, bu, in their
relation to other countries. All are, how
ever, discussed in dispassions,e end states
manlke tone other governments are refer
ed,o with respect; and the utmos, confidence
is expressed in their liberal,y Of purpose
and cordial relations with our own; at the
same time, the zeal and devotion which
charac,erises a patriotic concern for the
best welfare Of the United Sletes pervades
the whole document.
The prominent topics of the Message,
end the views of the Executive thereupon,
have, as usual been anticipated. We find
that the President has exposed himself
upon two or three subjects, however, with
peculiar emphasis. The appropriation of
money from the Treasury of the United
States for purposes of internal improvement,
is discounlensnced. The past, and the ex-
perience j. has afforded, are regarded as
warning us agrinst the dangers that like
policy may have in reserve in the future.
With respect 10 the Pacific railroad p1joec,
the Message also uses very guarded Ian
guage. The magnitude end importance Of
the work are duly appreciated, and the Pre-
siden. is fully disposed to sanction, to the
fulles, extent, anything that can be conslitu-
,ionally devised for its promotion. He
considers that the relation of the govern
ment 10 such an enterprise "should be in
cidental rather than primary"
Our foreign affairs with several countries
seem to be in transition state. With Eng-
land, the fishery question is prominent, but
in hopeful condition of adjustment BY
treaty. There is boundary question, also,
referring to the territorial division upon the
northwest, brought to the notice of Con-
gress. And also a matter Of claims between
the citizens Of the two countries in process
Of arrangement.
With Mexico the boundary line between
New Mexico and Chihuahua is still in dis
pute. Other questions of considerable mag
nitude are pending between the two repub-
lice, but the message gives US no probabilI-
lies about the result.
Brszil, it seems, is rather straght-laced
in her commercial policy, and seems un-
willing to concede the use Of the Amazon
to the enterprise of other nations. 1t is
hoped, however, that she may be induced
10 forego her restrictive notions, and con-
form somewhat to the more liberal action
Of Paraguay and the Argentine Confedera-
,ion with regard to the navgable rivers
within their respective territories.
The Kosz,a sfIair is briefly introduced
the facts being stated as heretofore under
stood. The message does not contain any
"ultma.um" either Austrian or American
upon the subject. The thing has "whillled
out" Kosz.a is said, a, the time the para
graph was written, to be on his way to the
United States. He has since returned, Ian
ded q, New FORK without demonstra,ion
and passed through Baltimore, unde,ected
to Washington the other day. We suppose
he has thanked the President for his head
by this time, and may now thank him for 3
paragraph in the message.
The annoyance to which American cili-
zens are exposed from the jealous and sus-
picious policy in Cuba, is properly made a
topic Of remark. and shhould be pressed
upon the notice Of the Spanish government.
The interests Of ''the District" are taken
into consideration, and the Presiden, is evil
IDENTIFY disposed to advance them to the ex-
tent Of his influence.
The message has nothing in i, Of very
marked or impressive character. II bears
the sspec. Of sincerity and pruden, concern
for the general welfare. Altogether, it is
characteristic of the aulhor--plain, sensible
and thoroughly American.
