THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The new President, after quaint salam TO the
" great popular sovereignty" and rcyerent ac-
Of Divine mercy and power speaks
cncouragingly of the condition of foreign relations
disputations, including the sn0rl with
Great Britain about the Observation-Disclosures with
Spain about Cuba--with Peru about the Guano
trade-with Mexico about the boundary line be-
tween New Mexico and the Mexican State Of Chi
huahua, are in progress of adjustment

and Navy--of the Post oaicc-of public lands
Happily have no occasion to suggest any radi
cal changes in the financial policy Of the Govern
ment. Ours is almost if not absolutely the so.ar,
power of Christondom, having surplus reyenu
drawn Immediately from imports on commerce, an,
therefore measured by the spontaneous entcrpris
and national prosperity of the country with sucl
indirect relation to agriculture, manufactures ant
the products of the earth and sea, as TO violate M
constitutional doctrine, and yet vigorously promote
the general welfare. Neither as to the sources o
the public treasury, to the manner Of keep
ing and managing it, does any grave controversy
now prevail, there being general acquiescence il
the wisdom of the present system.
The report of the Secretary of the Treasury will
exhibit in detail the state of the public finances
and the condition Of the public service administered
by that department of the Government. The rev
enuc country levied almost nscnsiby to the tax
payer goes from year to year, increasing beyond
either the interests the prospective wants Of tho
Government. At the close of the fiscal year ending
June 20, 1853, there remained in the treasury
balance Of fourteen millions, six hundred and thirty
two thousand, one hundred and thirty six dollars
The public revenue for the fiscal year ending June
30th, 1858, amounted to fifty eight millions nine
hundred and thirty one thousand, eight hundred
and sixty five dollars, from customs, and two mil
lions four hundred and five thousand, seven hun
dred and eight dollars from public lands and Other
miscellaneous sources amounting together, TO six
