PRESIDENT PIERcE's MESSAGE ON
THE BLACK WARRIOR NATrER-A tele-
graphic dispatch from Washington of
the 10th inst, says:
WASHINGTON, March Is.
The Presidents Message to Congress
relative to the seizure of the Black
Warrior has created here intense ex-
citement; almost everybody is lauding
him for the decided stand he has taken.
Members of Congress especially are in
extacies, and some of them now will be
more clamorous than ever for the sus-
pension of the Neutrality laws, in order
that private expeditions may fit out
against Cuba.
In compliance with the resolution of
the House of Representatives, 1 here
with transmit report of the Secretary
of State, containing all the information
received at the Department relative to
the seizure of the Black Warrior at
Havana on the 98th ult. There have
been in the course of few years past
many other instances of aggression on
our commerce, violation of the rights of
American citizens and insults to the Ma
tional flag by the Spanish authorities in
Cuba, and all attempts to obtain redress
have led to protracted and fruitless
negotiations. The documents in these
cases have been voluminous, and when
prepared will be sent to Congress.
Those now transmitted relate ex-
clusively to the Black Warrior, and
present so clear case of wrong, that
1t would not be unreasonable to expect
full indemnity therefor, as soon as
this unjusti6able and offensive conduct
shall be made known to Her Catholic
Majesty's Government; but similar ex-
pectations in other cases have not been
realized. The offending party is at our
doors with large powers for aggression,
but none for its alleged reparatiou.-I

hemisphere, and the answer to our Just

complaints meet the home government,
are but the excuses rendered by inferior
oficisls to their superiors, in reply to
the representations Of this conduct
The peculiar situation Of the party has
undoubtedly much aggravated the an
noyances and injuries which our citizens
have suffered from the Cuban authori-
ties, and Spain does not seem to appre-
ciate in full her responsibilities for the
conduct of these authorities.
The strongest part of the message is
as follows:
"1n case the measures taken for an
amicable adjustment of our difficulties
with Spain should unfortunately fail. !
shall not hesitate to use the authority
and means which Congress may grant
to obtain redress for injuries received,
and vindicate the honor Of our flag.
''In anticipation of that contingency,
l suggest to Congress the propriety OF
adopting such provisional measures as
the exigency may seem TO demand"
