The President, to day, has issued pro-
clamatlon raising the blockade west of the
Mississippi, and declaring all ports open to
) foreign commerce the 1st of July next, on
the terms set forth in the proclamation of
the 22d of May last, but says it is to be un-
derstood, however, that the blockade now
rescnded was international, and was for the
: purpose of proclaiming the sovereign right
, of the United States, and the greater or less
subversion of civil authority in the region
to which it applied, and the impracticability
of at once restoring that in due efficiency,
NAV, for season, make it advisable to en-
ploy the army and navy of the United States
towards carrying the law into effect.
The President has directed the Hon. w.
' P. Dole, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, to
proceed to the Indian country, to effect i'm
portant treaties with the hostile and peace
e able Indians. In his instructions to Mr..
Dole, the President says he deems the pres
C ent fitting time for a renewal of the efforts
), to press upon the Indians the urgent neces-
e sity of abandoning their wild, rowing habits,
!. and Of adopting the more peaceful and
!. industrious arts of civilized life. There is
e no longer any region of territory left within
!, the United States where their rude habits
: and mode of life can prevail as formerly
They are being pressed and hemmed in on
II every side by the advancing settlements OF
e an adventurous and enterprising people
: They must, therefore, adapt themselves tC
), the new order of things, and live in peace
1t among themselves and with their white
l. neighbors, or they must inevitably perish
= The policy of settling them upon suitable
1t reservations, where they may, with the aiC
Is andfriendship of the government, be able tt
N subsist themselves by agricnlture and pthe
e, indnstrious pursuits, is lett without aissA
Lh Indians, and familiarity with their charac
ter. seem to point him out as the prope
ID officer of the Indian Department to visit tn
rd various Indian tribes in the territories, an
b, To enter into such treaties with them IS WI
On best secure the permanent tranquility OF GU
to borders and promote their future weltar
re and prosperity. -.
n. The commanders of the various militar
US districts have been instructed to co-opera'
nd with Mr.. Dole, and to render him all tt
ks assistance he may require.
,re Mr.. Dole has been unwell for several day
but is now discharging the duties of b
he office, and will soon be able to leave for Il
