Of this momentous question with apprccia-
ton of what II due 70 the rights, dignity and honor
| OF each, and with the determination not only TO
remove the causes Of complaint In the past, but TO
lay the foundation Of broad principle Of public
law which will prevent future differences, and
tend to firm and continued peace and friendship.
| This Is now the only grave question which the
| United states have with any foreign nation.
RECIPROCITY WITH BRITISH PROVINCE.
Thequestion Of reviying n treaty for reciprocal
| trade between the United States and the British
Provinces, this continent, has not been favor
ably considered by the Administration. The adj
| vantages OF such a treaty would be wholly in
favor Of the British producer, except possibly a
few engaged in the trade between the two Sec
| tons No citizen Of the United States would be
benefited By the reciprocity. Our internal tax
Queer almost equal to the protection which our
manufacturers now receive from the tariff. Some
arrangements, however, for the regulation Of COM
merciai intercourse between the United States
and the dominion of Canada may be desirable.

THE FRENCH CABLE.
/ 1t having come TO my knowledge that d cor
pordte company, organized under British
laws proposed to land upon the shores OF
the United States and TO operate there a sub
| marine cable, under concession froIn His
Majesty, the Emperor Of the French of an exclu-
Sive right for twenty years OF telegraphic conInu-
nicatlon between the shores OF France and the
United states, with the very Objectionable fea-
ture oi sublecting all messages conveyed thereby
TO the scrutiny and control OF the French govern
ment, | caused the French and British Lega-
TONS at Washington to be made acquainted with
the probable policy OF Congress tie subject, as
| ioreshalOwed by the bill which passed the senate
| IN March last. This drew from the repTese nta-
tive Oh the company an agreement To accept as
the basis OF their operations the PROVISIONS OF that
