The entire success of the Atlantic
Telegraph between the coast of Ireland
and the Province of Newfoundland, isan
achievement which has been justly cele-
brated in both hemispheres as the OPEN
ing of an era in the progress Of ciyiliza-.
ton. There is reason to expect that equal
success will attend, and even greater re-
suits follow, the enterprise for connect
ing two Continents through the Pacific
Ocean by the projected line of Telegraph
between Kamschatka and the Russian
possessions in America.
| The resolution Of Congress protesting
against pardons by foreign Governments
! of persons convicted of infamous offens-
| es, ON condition of emigrating to our
country, has been communicated to the
States with which we maintain intercourse
and the practice, So justly the suject of
complaint on our par, ,hasn not been renewed
The congratulations Of Congress to the
Emperor Of Russia, upon his escape from
attempted assassination, have been pre-
sented to that humane and enlightened
ruler, and received by him with express
ions of grateful appreciation. lfiaIll
The Executive, warned of an attempt
by Spanish American adventures to In
duce the emigration offreedmen of the.
United States to foreign country, pro-
tested against the project as one which,
if consummated, would reduce them to a
bondage even more oppressive than that
from which they have just been relieved.
Assurance has been received. from the
Government of the State in which the
plan was matured, that the proceeding
] will meet neither Encouragement nor ap-
Iproval. 1t is a question worthy of your
consideration, whether eur laws upon this
subject are adequate to the preyention or
punishment of the crime thus committed.
i In the month ofApril last, as Congress
lis aware, friendly arrangement was
made between the Emperor of France
and the President Of the United States
for the withdrawal from Mexico of the
:, French iexpeditionary military forces
'IThis withdrawal was to be effected IN
three detachments, the first of which, it
was understood, would leave Mexico In
November, now past, the second in March
next, and the the third and last in No
vember, 1867. Immediately upon the
completion of the evacuation, the French
Government was to assume the same at
titude of non intervention, in regard to
Mexico, as is 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 peri
cd mentioned, or sooner.
1t was reasonably expected that the
proceedings thus contemplated would pro-
duce crisis of great political interest in
the Republic of Mexico Z The neyly-ap.
pointed Minister of the United States, Mr..
Campbell, was therefore sent forward, on
the 9th day Of November last, to assume
his proper functions as Minister Plenipo-
tentiarv Of the United States to that Re-
public Itwas also thought expedient
that he should be attended in the vicini.
