itude, where it forms the boundary be |
tween the United States anu the British
North American Possessions, between the |
Lake of the Woods and the summit Of |
the Rocky Mountains. The early action |
of Congress in the recommendation named |
would put it IN the power of the War
Department to place force in the field |
during the next summer.
RELATIONS WITH GERMANY. |
The resumption of diplomatic relations
between France and Germany has ena.
bled me to give directions for the with
drawal of the protection afforded to
Germans in France by the diplomatic and
consular representatives of the United
States in that country. 1t is just to add
that the delicate duty Of this protection
has been performed by the Minister and
the Consul at Paris and the various
Consuls OF France, under the supervision
of the latter, With great kindness, as well
as with prudence and tact. Their course
has received the commentator Of the
German Government, and has wounded
no susceptibility of the French. The
Government Of the Emperor OF Germany
continues to manifest friendly feeling
toward the United States and desire to-
harmonic with the moderate and just
policy which this Government maintains
in its relations with Asiatic powers, as
we'll as with the South American Repub
lies. l have given assurance that the
friendly feelings Of that Government are
fully shared by the United States.
TREATY WITH AUSTRIA.
The ratification of the Consular and
| Naturalization Convention with the
Austro Hungarian Empire have been ex
changed.
UNITED ITALY.
I have been officially informed of the
annexation of the state of the church to
Kingdom Of Italy, and the removal of
the capital Of that kingdom to Rome. In
conformation with the established policy
of the United States, have recognized
the change. The notifications of the new
treaty Of commerce between the United
States and Italy have been exchanged.
The two powers have agreed 10 their
treaty that property at sea shall be ex-
empt from capture in case of war between
the two powers. The United States have
spared no opportunity of Incorporating
this rule into the obligations of nations.
| sPANIsH-AMERIcAN COMMISSION.
The Forty first Congress, at It's second
session, made an appropriation for the
organization of mixed commission OF
adjud:cating upon the claims of citizens
of the United States against Spain, grow
ing out of the instruction in Cuba. That
| CgmmissiC N has since been organized, and |
transmit copy Of the correspondence re-
latine to its formation and jurisdiction.
1t is to be hoped that the commission
will afford the claimants complete rem
edy for their injuries. ......
SOUTH AMERICAN REPUBLICS.
It has been made the agreeable duty Of
the United States to preside over Il con-
ference at Washington between the pleni-
potentiaries of Spain and the allied
South American Republics which has re.
suited in an armistice, with the reasonable
assurance of a permanent peace.
RUSSIA AND CATACAzY.
The intimate friendly relations which
have SO long existed between the United
| States and Russia continue undisturbed.
The visit of the third son Of the Emperor
is q proof that there is no desire on the
part of his Government to diminish the
cordiality of these relations. The hospit
able reception which has been given to
The Grand Duke is proof that on our side
we share the wishes Of that Government
The inexcusable course of the Russian
Minister at Washington rendered it nee
essary to ask his recall, and to decline to
longer receive that functionary as dip
lomatic representative. It was impossi-
BILE, with q just regard to the dignity of
the country, to permit Mr.. Catacazy TO
continue to hold interviews with this
Government after his abuse of Govern
ment officers and during his persistent in
reference, through various means, with
the relations between the United States
and other powers. In accordance with
my wishes, our Government has been re-
lieved of further intercourse with Mr..
Catacazy, and the management OF the I'm
perial Legation has passed into the hands
of gentlemen entirely unobjectiona-
BILE.
i THE ORIENT. "a
\ With Japan we continue to maintain
!, intimate relations. The Cabinet of the
Mikado has, since the close of the last
session OF Congress, selected citizens Of
the United States to serve in offices in
important departments of the government.
l have reason to think that this selection
is due to an appreciation of the disinter-
estedness of the policy which the United
States have pursued towards Japan. 1t
is our desire to continue to maintain this
disinterested and just policy with China
as we'll as Japan. The correspondence
transmitted herewith shows that there is
no disposition on the pant of the Govern
ment to swerve from its established
