Congress such measures as he shall deem
expedient. l know of no measure more
imperatively demanded by every con-
sideration of national interest, sound
policy and equal justice. than admiss-
ion of loyal members from the unrepre-
sented States. 1t would sonsumate res
toration, renew yigor and stability, allay
doubt, induce emigration, and open new
fields of enterprise ..s. .-..
The President concludes OH restora-
ton by repeating the warnings of 9TH
ers against consolidated despotism,
and does not make the slightest refer
ence to the pending constitutional
amendment, nor to the much. talked-of
amnesty and suffrage questions. All he
says OF Reconstruction have given GER

MEXICAN AFFAIRS.
The President speaks as follows on
Mexican affairs: "In the month of
April last, as Congress is aware, a friend
ly arrangement was made between the
Emperor of France and the President
for the withdrawal from Mexico of the
French eXpeditionary forces. This
withdrawal was to be effected in three
detachments--the first of which, it was
understood, was to leave Mexico in No
vember, the second in March, and the
last in November, 1867. immediately
on the completion of the evacuation, the
French Government was to assume the
same attitude in regard to non-interven-
ton as held by the Government Of the
United States. Repeated assurances
have been given by the Emperor, since
that agreement, that he would complete
the promised evacuation within the
period named, or even sooner. 1t was
reasonable to expect that the proceedings
thus contemplated would produce a
crisis of great political interest in the
Republic of Mexico. The newly APP
pointed Minister Of the United States,
Mr.. Campbell, was therefore sent for
ward on November 8, to assume his
functions. 1t was also thought expedi-
ent that he shonld be attended in Next
co by the Lieutenant General of the
United Statats army, with the view of
obtaining such information us might be
important to determine the course to be
pursued by the United States in re-estab-
fishing and maintaining necessary and
proper intercourse with Mexico. Deep
~ interested in the course of liberty and
humanity, it seemed an obvious duty on
Our part to exercise whatever influences
are possessed for the restoration and
permanent establishment in that coun-
try of democratic and republican from
of affairs in regard to Mexico when, on
the ODD day of November, official infor
nation was received from Paris that the
Emperor had some time before decided
not to Withdraw n detachment of his
forces in the month of November, accord
ing to agreement; but that this decision
was made for the purpose Of withdraw
ing the whole of these forces in the ensu-
ing spring. OF this latter determination,
however, the United States has received
no notice or intimation. and, so soon as
| information was received from this
Government, care was taken to make
known its dissent to the Emperor of
France. / cannot forego the hope that
France will reconsider the subject, and
| adopt some resolution in regard to the
evacuation of Mexico which will con-
/ form to the existing engagement, and
| the expectations Of this Government
| The documents Oh this subject will be
| laid before Congress. With the evacra-
! ton Of Mexico by the French. no subject

OUR RELATIONS WITH GREAT BRITAIN.
On our relations with Great Britain,
| the President writes as follows: ut is
a matter Of regret that no considerable
! advance has been made towards an ad-
.
United States and Great Britain, arising
out Of the depredations on our commerce
and other traspasscs committed during
the civil war by British Subjects in vio-
latiOn of international law and treaty
| obligations. The delay. however, may
be believed to have resulted in 30 small
degree from the domestic situation 81
Great Britain. An entire change Of
Ministry occurred i'm that country du
ring the last session Of Parliament. The
attention OF the new Ministry was called
to the subject, at an early day, and there
is some reason to believe that it Will bt
considered in becoming and friendly
spirit. The importance Of an early dis
position of the question cannot be eX
aggerated. Whatever might be thu
wishes of the Government. it is NANTES
that good feeling and friendship between
the two countries connot he established
until reciprocity in the practice o
: good faith and neutrality shall be re
stored between the respective nations.
, THE FENIaN INVASION OF CANADA
The President then alludes to tn
; Fenian ivasion of Canada as a violation
t Of the neutrality laws and the proclama
ton which he issued, and OF the tris
and sentence Of captured Fenians, says
''Such representations have been mad
