terprise against the British North American
Colonies was projected and attempted to be
carried ON within the territory and jurisdiction
of the United States In obedience to the OBJ
legation imposed upon the Executive by the
Constitution, to see that the laws are faithfully

unlawful proceedings, and the proper civil, mil
itary and naval officers we're directed to take all
necessary measures for the enforcement of the
laws. The expedition failed, but it has not been
without its painful consequences. Some of our
citizens who, it was alleged, were engaged in
the expedition were captured and have been
brought to trial as for capital offence. in the
Province OF Canada Judgment and sentence
OF death have been pronounced against some
while others have been acquitted. Fully be-

British Government during period of seve-

the unled States under our general laws of
naturalization. Complaints of misgovernment
in Ireland continually engage the attention of
the British nation and SO great an agitation is

The CAPTURE OF REMISSION AND ESCAPE
OF BRAINARD.-Mr. Wight, the postmaster at
Gorham, N. H., has furnished the Star with the
particulars of the arrest of Kenniston and
Brainard, the rogues who broke jail here late
ly. He says:
Last Saturday afternoon two young men
came into my Office looking very tired and
rough. One of them was so foot-sore that he
could not keep his shoes on. Their looks and
talk excited my suspicious at once, and sent
for John E. Willis, the constable, who had pre-
viousiy given me description of the men, He
came and at once arrested them and took them
to the Gorham House and confined them in a
room on the second floor. Remission was put
IN irons, but Brainard's wrists were SO large
that no irons that could fl him could be found
IN town. Both prisoners remained quiet until
about 10 O'Clock Sunday night, when Willis
stepped out and asked man in the next room
to come and help confine Brainard. As he
stepped out Brainard went to the window on
pretence of letting in some air, and was out of
the window and ON the run before the. guards
could get to the window. Officers are on the
Canada road in search of him; but ON Monday
evening he called at Mr.. Hubbard's in Shell
burne, about six miles below here and got some
supper, and asked Mr.. FL. to take him to YER
mont in the night. The last seen of him he
was going towards Maine. Remission was de-
hvered to officer Pencil ON Tuesday morning
and taken to Portland.

: Political and commercial interests Of the
United States are not unlikely to be affected in
some degree by events which are transporting
IN the eastern regions of Europe, and the time
seems TO have come when our Government
ought to have a proper diplomatic representa-
ton i'll Greece.
NAFURALIZATloN. rFEs
This Government has claimed for all persons
not convicted, or accused, or suspected of
crime, an absolute political right of self expa-
triation, and choice of new national allesi-
ance. Most of the European States have dis
scented from this principle, and have claimed
right to hold such of their subjects as have i'm
migrated to and been naturalzed in the Uni
ted States, and afterwards returned ON tran
sient visits to their native countries to the per-
Torrance of military service in like manner as
resident subjects Complaints arising from
the claim in this respect made by foreign
States, have heretofore been matters of con-
troversy between the United States and some
of the European Powers, and the irritation con-
sequent upon the failure to settle this question
| increased during the war in which Prussia,
| Italy, and Austria were recently engaged
| While Great Britain has never acknowledged
the right of expatriation, she has not practical
| ly insisted upon it. France has been equally
| forbearing; and Prussia has proposed a COM
promise, which, although eyincing increased
liberality, has not been accepted by the United
| States. Peace is now prevailing everywhere
in Europe, and the present seems to be a favor
| able time for an assertion by Congress OF the
| principle, SO long maintained by the Executive
Department. that naturalization by one. State
fully exempts the native-born subjectSf any
| other State from the performance OF military
service under any foreign Government, SO long
as he does not voluntarily renounce its rights
and benefits.
In the performance of duty imposed upon
me by the Constitution have thus submitted
to the Representatives of the States and the
People such information of our domestic and
foreign affairs as the public interests seem to
require. Our Government is now undergoing
its most trying ordeal, and my earnest prayer
is, that the peril may be successfully and final
ly passed, without impairing its original
strength and symmetry. The interests of the
nation are best to be promoted by the revival
OF fraternai relations, the complete obiteratiOn
OF our past differences, and the inauguration
of all the pursuits of peace. Directing our eff
forts to the early accomplishment OF these great
ends, let us endeavor to preserve harmony be-
tween the coordinate Departments of the Gov
eminent, that eachin its proper sphere MAY
cordially cooperate with the other in securing
the maintenance of the Constitution, the pres
ervation OF the Union, and the perpetuity O
our free Institutions - fBYT
