eral arrangement, WHICH, Ii II do not who'll

Cuba. will render them less frequent. and
whenever they shall occur facilitate their
more speedy settlement.
MEXICO.
The interposition of this government has
been invoked by many of its citizens, on ac-
count OF injuries done to their persons and
property, for which the Mexican government
is responsible. The unhappy situation of
that country, for some time past has not
allowed its government TO give due consid-
eration 10 claims for private repara ton, and
has appeared to call for and Justify some for
bearance in such matters on the part of this
government But, if the revolutionary
movements which have lately occurred in
that republic, end in the organization of
stable government, urgent appeals 10 its JUS
tice will then be made, and, it may be hoped,
with success, for the redress of all com
plants Of our citizens.
CENTRAL AMERICA.
In regard to the American republics.
which, from their proximity and other con-
slderations, have peculiar relations to this
government, while it has been my constant
aim strictly to observe all the obligations of
political friendship and of good neighbor-
hood, obstacles to this have arisen in some
of them, from their own insufficient power
TO check lawless irruptions, which in effect
throws most of the task on the United States
Thus it is that the distracted internal con-
dtion of the state of Nicaragua has made it
incumbent on me to appeal to the good faith
of Our citizens to abstain from mn qwful in
tervention III its affairs, and to adopt pre-
ventlve measures to the same end, which,
on similar occasion, had the best results
in re-assuring the peace of the Mexican
states of Sonora and Lower California.
t,. TREATIES.
Since the last session of congress, a treaty
of amity, commerce and navigation, and for
the surrender of fugitive criminals, with
the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies: a treaty
of friendship, commerce and navigation
with Nicaragua and a convention of com
mercial reciprocity with the Hawaiin King
dom have been negotiated The latter King
dom and the state of Nicaragua have also
acceded to declaration, recognising as in
ternational rights the principles contained
in the convention between the United States
and Russia, of the 22d Of July, 1854. These
! treaties and conventions will be laid before
! the senate for ratification.
TREASURY.
! The statements made in my last annual message
respecting the anticipated receipts and expendi-
tures of the treasury have been subs bstantiay ver-
fed 1t appears from the report of the secretary
of the treasury, that the receipts during the last
fiscal year ending June 80, 1855 from all sources
were $65 ,003 $50; and that the public expenditures
for the same period, exclusive of payments on ac-
count of the public debt, amounted to $5G,3G5 1893
During the same period, the payments made in re-
demption of the public debt, including interest and
premium, amounted to $9,S44,529.
! The balance in the treasury at the beginning OF
the present fiscal year July l, 1855, $lS,y31,
97G the receipts for the first qarter, and the esti
mated receipts for the remaining three quarters
amount together, to $67 ,91S,734 thus atfordng in
all, as the available resources of the current fiscal
year, the sum of $S6S56,710.
IT, to the actual expenditures of the first quarter
OF the current fiscal year, be added the probable
expenditures for the remaing three quarters,
total will be ,S46, thereby leaving esti-
mated balance in the treasury on July l, 1856, OF
