Message from President Buehanan.-isis
Reasons Ter Concentrating Troops in
Washinston.

Inc PRESIDENT sent 4 message to the House
| OF Representatives on Saturday, in aompli-
ance with resolution heretofore adopted. as
10 the reasons which induced him to assemble
50 large mum ber Of troops in Washington.
lie submits that the force is not large as
the resolution pre- -supposes, its total amount
Delilg SIX hundred and fifty three, exclusive
OF The marines, who are OF course at the NAVY

troops We're ordered nere to act as a posse
comltatus, IN strict accordance TO the civil
authorty, Tor the purpose of preserving
peace and order i'll Washington shoC Id this

excitement, consequent upon reVolu tionary
events transporting all around us. The very

lhuulSed III the most eXtrayagant expressions
OF fears and threats Under these circum-
stances, which the President SAYS he need not
detail, as they appear in the testimony OF the
select committee, he was convinced that he
ought TO act. The safety of the immense
amount OF public property il this city, and
that OF the archives of the Government in
which all the Stats, and especially the
new States, In which the public lands
are situated, have deep interest: the
peace and order of the city itself and the
security of the Inauguration of the President
elect, were objects OF such vast importance to
the whole country, that could not hesitate
10 adopt precautionary and defensive mea-
sures. AT the present moment, when all is
quiet, 1t is difficult 10 realize the state of alarm
which prevailed when the troops We're first
ordered TO this city. This alarm instantly
subsidized after the arrival of the first com. |
pany, and a feeling Of compa rative peace and
security has since existed, both i'll Washing |

and before night the last eagle had taken its

says:
One draft for S700, 900 was cashed, and inDu-
merable ones ranging from one to one hundred
thousand. So eager We're the parties to get
their claims through and have them cashed
before the new admins tration should come
lnto power, that they ran from room to room
TO see who could first reach the numerous OFF,
clals through whose hands the requistions
ana warrants had TO pass before they could
reach the counter of the Treasurer. In one
case an officer absented himself, but nothing
daunted the determined parties succeeded in

NAvIG ALTON OF THE MIssIssIPPI-Prospect of a
Ro,c about N.--We find in the Chicago Times the
following copied from the New York Herald:
WASHINGTON, Nov. l2.-The dispatch in the
Herald of Sunday last, announcing reported dis
covery in the British Museum of copy OF treaty
made at the time France ceded Louisiana to the
United States stpulatng that that the Mississippi
should at all times be kept open to the navigation
of French vessels, has created quite sensation
in diplomatic circles here. The private letter re-
ceiyed by distinguished gentleman of Philade!-
phia from a London banker, announcing the fact
from which l originally quoted, was handed to
Secretary Seward to-day. All the treaties known
to the Government, the subject of the Louisiana
purchase, have been examined this afternoon, out
none yet discovered appear to contain anylalng
that could be construed into such pleage on the
part of our Government as is indicated in the pr
vate letter from England, except, clauses slA and
seven, on page sixteen OF volume eight Gnlteo
States Statutes at large. 1t is only necessary tc
state and do so authOritatipely, that the Govern
ment of the Uuites States will adhere strictly to the
requirements of that treaty. and will act promptly
to carry out all of them with the full force Of the
army and navy. In short, the Government IS no"
in the act of clearing the Mississippi river OF the
rebel batteries erected on its banks, with the pur
poses of preventing the exercise OF this very rlsn
now said to be claimed by France. Ihe river l.
| not closed by the Government, but by opponents
of the Government: The Union blookade at ths
mouth Of the Mississippi is only part of the worl
of the Government to open it to navigation. l.
therefore remains for France to settle whether sh
will aid legitimate government ia sustaining IN
ternational law, or will join horde of mscreant
who are in rebellion against all law: There is n
treaty existing between the United States and an
other power on earth that win not be strictly az
| hered to by that government at all times.
That's a funny idea, that the blockade Of tl
| Mississippi lis only part of the work of the Go'
ernment to open it to navigation" 1t is the fir
time we ever heard of opening the navigation Of
river by blockadingit.
