able to reach New York in about 80 DAYS.
The City of Raguse is covered her whole
length, and lined inside to the flooring, hay
ing a manhole or cockpit amidships. "Be-

the limited space would permit of. There
is patent stove for cooking the provisions
there being three months supplies on
board-on the voyage; and also a sleeping
space for either skipper when he is not ION
watch" The boat Is rugged as yawl, and
can spread about 20 yards OF canvas. Her
tanks are capable of containing 100 gallons
of water but should any accident occur by
which 1t would be necessary to tighten the
vessel, a tap can be undone, and the water,
if necessary, allowed to escape. The city of

MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR.
The following message form the Govern
or, was read and referred to the Committee
on Federal Relations:
To the Senate and
House Of Representatives. =
GENTLEMEN-The seventh article of a con-
vention, signed on the BIRD of February,
1853 by France and the United States
makes certain provisional assurances of leg
islation in the several States in favor of
granting of French subjects the same rights
and privileges as are enjoyed by Americans,
in the acquisition or conveyance of real es-
tate in the United States.
On the 10Th of October, 1853, a circular
letter was addressed by the Sec'y of State
ofthe Federal Government. to the Governor
of Mississippi. recommending that the
rights sought thus to be acquired for French
men, be granted to them by this State
What action has been taken in response by
the then Governor, does not appear in the
records of my office; but | find no evidence
in our legislation, of any change in the law
under witch those rights had been denied.
The Honorable Secretary of State at
Washington, has called my attention to the
convention of 1853, and has requested me,
in the name of the President, to submit to
your consideration, the proposal that
Frenchmen shall be placed on the same
footing as our fellow-citiZens in reference to
the acquisition, holding and conveyance of
real estate in the State of Mississippi.
The United States has waged one war to
enforce the right of the citizen TO change
his nationality. And now by the moral
impulse, rather than by the immediate con-
sequence of that struggle, we see shattered
at our feet to-day, with the consent of
thrones planted on European. feudalism, the
old dogma of s1Once a subject forev-
err" And the movement af liberalism which
has gone thus so very far forward in our
own age, can hardly pause on its path in
front of the feudal doctrine which predicat-
ed rights in the soil upon military service.
The allegiance that our present law con-
ditions to the conveyance of real estate, is
but remnant of the barbarism that disap-
pears like mist before civilization as il
moves on towards the grand consummation
good example set us ia the case by Ala
bama, | recommended, therefore, that in
compliance with the request of the Presi-
dent, we throw open, by legislation, the ac=
QUESTION, enjoyment and conveyance of real
estate in Mississippi, to Frenchmen and all
other foreigners, on precisely the same
terms, and with the same rights and privile-
ges as attach to the same in the case of citi-
zens of the United States.
