Master General in relation to the aboli

views on the establishment of mai

attention Of congress to the statement o

| The United States CONTINUES in the en-.
Ijoyment Of amicable relations with al
foreign powers. When my last ANNA
message was transmitted to Congress
two subjects OF controversy one relating
10 the enlistment Of soldiers in This coun.
Try Tor foreign service, and the other Ie
Central Observation-Disclosures to disturb
good understanding between the United
States and Great Britain. Of the pro.
gress and termination Of the former ques,
tlon you were informed at the time, and
the other Is now in the way Of sa,isiac,o.
ry adjustment. The cblec, OF the con.
ven.ion between the Unlted States and
Great Britain of the 18th of April. 1850
was TO secure for the benefit Of all ma.
tons the neutrality and the common use
Of any .ransitwny or interoceanic com.
mun'ca.ion across the ls,hmus OF Pana.
ma, which nigh. be opened within the
limits OF Central America.
The prelensions subsequently asserted
oy Great Britain TO dominion or control
over territories in or near two of the
routes, those OF Nicaragua and Hondu-
'as, were deemed BY The United States
not merely incompatible with the main
OBJECT OF the treaty, bu, opposed to lis ex-
press s'ipuations. Occasion OF conlro-
sersy on this point has been remcved BY
an addlticnal treaty which our minister
at London has concluded, and which will
be submitted to the Senate for its consid
Grafton should the supposed supplemental
arrangement be concurrsd in by all the
parties TO be effected by it, the obiec,
contemplated by the original convention
Will have been fully attained. The trea.
ty between the United States and Great
BRAIN on the 9Th of June, 1854 pu, an
end to cause otirr.,ation between the two
countries, by securing to the United
States the right Of fishery on The coa., of
the British North American provinces,
with advantages equal to those enjoyed
by Bitlsh subjects. Besides The sigual
benefits oil this treaty to large class OF
our citizens engaged in pursui, connec-
ted to no inconsiderable degree with our
national prosperity and strength. l, ha.
had favorable effect upon other interests
IN the provision i, made for recipr zeal
freedom Of trade between the United
States and the British provinces in Amer
lea. The exports Of domestic articles to
those provinces during the las, year
amounted TO more than twenty millions of
dollars, exceeding those OF the previous
year BY nearly S7.0oO.000; and the I'M
ports ,herefron., during the same perlod.
amounted to more than S2l 900 600: an
increase Of 5000 900 upon those of the
previous year. The improved condition
ot this branch Of our commerce is mainly
attributable to the ADORE mentioned rea-
ty.
Provisions was made, in the first ar,i-
Gle OF that treaty for commission to de-
slgnate the mouths of rivers to which the
common right Of fishing on the coast oil
the United States and The British Pro-
vinces was not to extend.
This Comm ssion has been employed
par. OF two seasons, bu, without much
progress in accomplishing the objec, for
which 1t was instituted, in consequence
oil serious difference 1t opinion between
the Commissioners, no, ouly to the pre-
else point where the rivers terminate, but
IN many instances as to wha, constitutes
a river These difficulties, however,
may be overcome by resort to the um-
brage provided for by the treaty,
The efforts perser erinely prosecuted
since the commencement OF my admins
trallon 10 relieve our trade TO the Baltic,
from exactlon Of tie Sound dues By Den
mark, have not yet been attended with
success. Other governments have also
sought to obtain like relief to their con-
merce, and Denmark was thus induced to
propose an arrangement TO all the Euro
pean powers interested IN the subject,
and the manner in which her proposition
was received warranting her TO believe
lhat a satisfactory arrangement with them
could soon be concluded, size made a
strong appeal TO thl. government for tenn
porary suspension ol definite action on It's
part in consideration OF the endorsement
which might resul. to her European me-
go,ia,ions by an immediate adjus,nen, Of
the question with the United Sa!es.-
This request has beer aeeeded to upon
the condition that the sums be collected
after the 10th of June la, and until The
10th of June next, frcm vessels and car
goes belonging to our merchants are 10
considered as paid under pro,es. and SUBJ
)ect to future ad Justment.
There is reason 10 believe that an ar
rangement between Denmark and the
maritime powers Of Europe on tic suffice,
will soon be concluded, and that the pen.
ding ne citation with the United States
may then be resumed and terminate IN a
