to the Corps Legislatit;
As expressed the hope last year that
our expedition to Mexico was approach
ing its termination, am coming to an
understanding with the Emperor Maxi
milan to fix the epoch for the recall of
our troops North America. issuing
victoriously from formidable struggle,
has re-established the Union, and sol
emnly proclaimed the adjustment of
slavery France, which forgets no noble
page of her history, offers up her sincere
wishes for the prosperity OF the great
American Republic and tor the main
tenance of the amicabIe relations which
soon will have had century's duration,
The emotion produced in the United
States by the presence Of our troops on
the Mexican soil will be pacihed by the
frankness of our declarations The
American people will comprehend that
our expedition, to which we invited
them, was not opposed to their inter
ests, Two nations equally jealous OF
their independence ought to avoid every
step which might affect their dignity
and their honor
