it will be my constant aim to prsmsts
peace and anity with all foreign natisns
and Powers; and I have every reason to
|beliere that they all, without exception,
are animated by the same disposition. Our
relations with the Emperor of China, 50
recent in their origin, are most friendly,
Our commerce with his doninioas is re-
csiving new developments; and il is very
pleasing 70 find that tks Gasrrament II
that great Empire manifssts satisfaction
with our policy, and reposes. Just gcsn6-
dence in the fairness which marks cur, in
|tercourse. The Rnbraken harmony be-
tween the United States and the Eaperor
of Russia is receiving new suppsrt iron
an enterprise designed to carry telegrsYhis
lines acrsss the continent Of Asia, through
his dominisas, and SO 10 connect US with
all Europe by new channel OF intercourse.
Our commerce with South AmsrIca is a.
bout 10 receive encouragement by direc /

pirs Of Brazil. The distinguished party Of
men Of science shs have recently left oar
country to make scientific exploration Of

iron the Emperor thai generous uelcems
which was 10 have be.n expected from his
constant friendship for the United States,
and his well Known zeal in prsnsting the
advancemsOt of snosledgs. A hope is
entertained That. our commerce with the
rich and popllsas countries that border
the Mediterranean sea may be largely in
creased. Nothing will be wanting on the
part OF this Government, to extend the pre-.
irc'lon Of or fag ever the enterprise Of
our feilew citizens. We receive frsm the
Powers IN that region assurances OF coed
will sad il is worthy Of nste- that special
envoy has brought Us messages of csnao-
isnce on :be death Of ocr late Chief Mag
,strats from the Beg Of runs. whose rule
includes the old dsminisns OF Carthage, on
the African coast.
Our domestic contest, now happily eEd-
ed, has left sons traces in our relations
with one Al least Of the great maritime
Powers. The formal accordance Of belli-
gerent rights TO the insurgent States was
unprecedented, and has not been justified
by the issue. Bot 10 the systems Of nea-
trallty pursued by the Powers which made
that concession, there was marked die
renee. The materials Of war for the insuf-
gent States were furnished, in great nsa-
ssre, from the workshops Of Great Britain;
and British. ships. manned by British srO-
jecis, and prepared for receiving British
ar,naments, sailed IRON the ports OF Great
Britain to make war on American Con-
,.arce under the shelter Of a commission
