JEFF. DAVIS MESSAGE.

Fort MoNRoE, December lI.--,Jeff Davis,
in his Message, is very Respondent over the
losses of Vicksburg, Port Hudson and other
points. He says there has been no improve
ment in their relations with foreign countries
since his last Message. On the contrary there
is greater diversion in the conduct of the
European nations, assuming character pos
sibly unfriendly and speaks Of the marked
partiality Of Great Britain in favor of the
North. He says the public finances demand
the strictest and most earnest attention, aud
that prompt and efficacious remedy for the
present condition OF the finances is necessary
to the successful operations of the Govern.
ment
He recommends taxation instead of further
sales of bonds or issue of Treasury notes; also
recommends putting an end to the substitute
business, and modification of the exemption
law, so that the army may be increased as
rapidly as possible. He regrets the suspen
sion of the exchange of prisoners, and that
communication with the Mississippi /,
obstruoted. He concludes by saying the enc
my refuse proposals for the only peace posi-
BILE. The only hope for peace is nov the Wig
or of our resistance.
