Tate repaTatlon, ana mas appeared to call
for and Justify some forbearaRce in such
matters on the part of this government.
But, if the revolutionary movements,
which have lately occurred in that repub-
lie, end in the organization of stable
government, urgent appeals to its justice
win then be made, aud, il may be hoped,
with success for the readers of al com
plants of our citizens.
CENTRAL AMERICA.
In regard to the American republics,
which, from their proximity and other
considerations, have peeuliarE relations to
this government, while il has been my
constant aim strictly to observe all the
obligations of political friendship and of
good neighborhood, obstacles to this have
arisen in some Of them, from their own
insufficient power TO check laWless irrup>
tions, which in effect throws most of the
task on the United States. ThusIiE is
that the distracted internal conditionsof
the State of Nicaragua has mado it in
cumbent on me to appeal to tho good
faith Of our citizens to abstain from un-
lawful Intervention in its affairs, and to
adopt preventive measures TO the same
end, which on y similar occasion, had the
best results in reassuring the peace Of the
Mexican States of Sonora ANDY Lower
California.

tion, and for tho surrender of fugitive cri-
minals. with the kingdom Of the Two 81.

TREASURY.
The statements mAde in my annual
message, respecting the anticipated re-
ceipts and expenditures OF tho Treasury,
have been substantially verified.

million three hundred and thirty dollars

the Same period, exclusive Of payments
on account Of the public debt, amounted

ty-hve thousand and three hundred and
ninety-three dollars. During tho Same
period, the payments made in redemption
Of the public debt, including interest and
premium, amounted to nine million eight

seventyNsix dollars the receipts for tho
frst quarter, and the estimated receipts

dred and thirty-four dollars thus affor.
ding in all, as the valuable resources Of
tue current fiscal year, the sum OF eighty.

If, the actual expenditure OF tho first

ded the probable expenditures for tho re-
