ITALIAN NORTHUMBERLAND RATTIrc-
ATIoSs.
have been officially in formed Of the
annexation oil the States of the Church to
the Kingdom of italy, and the removal of
the capital Of that Kingdom to Rome. and
IN conformity with the established policy
of the United States, I have recognized
this change.
The ratiilcations Of the new treaty of
commerce between the United States and
ltaly have been exchanged. The two pow
or nave agreed in their treaty that pre-
perty Mt sea shall be exempt from capture
IN case of war between the two powers.
Inc United States nave spared no oppor-
nnity OF incorporating this rule into all its
obligations.
CLAIMS AGAINST SPAIN.
The For;y-First Congress, at its third
session, made an appropriation for the or
| ganizaiion of n Mixed Commission for nd
Judicntlng upon the clnims Of citizens of
inc United States against Spain, growing
| out OF the prosecutions in Cuba That
commission has since been organized, |

SPAIN AND THE SOUTH AMERICAN KEPrB.
| LICs.
! II has been made the agreeable duty of
the United States 10 preside over a CONFER
ence at Washington between the plenipo.
tentlary Of Spain and the allied South
American republics which has resulted in
IA an armistice with the reasonable assur-
ahce oi permanent peace.
OUR RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA.
The intimate and friendly relations
which have so long exis ed between the
the United States and Ru.sia continues un-
disturbed. The visit Of the third son of
the Emperor is proof that there is no de-
sire on the part Of his government TO dl-
minish the cordislity Of these relations,
ana the hospi;able reception which has
been given by the Grand Duke is "a proof
that on oar side We share the wishes Of
tnat government.
CATACAZI.
The incxcusable course of the Russian
Minister NJ Warrington rendered it nee I
ossary 10 ask his recall aud to decline 10 |
longer receive that functiOnary as u diplo-
matte representative. 1t was impossible
with self respect or with u just regard 10
the dignity Of the country to permit Mr..
Catacazy TO continue TO hold Intercourse
with this government, after his abuse Of
government officials, and during his per-
sistent Interference, through various
means, with the relations between the
United States and other powers. In ac-
cordance with my wishes this government
has been relieved Of further intercourse
with Mr.. Catacazy and the management
oi the Imperial Legation has passed into
the hands of a gentleman entirely unobjcc-
tionable.
JAPAN.
With Japan we continue 10 maintain
intimate relations. Tho Cabinet Of the
Mikado has, since the close of the last se,-
sion OF congress, selected citizens Of the
United states TO serve in offices Of impor-
tance IN several departments of the gov
eminent, and ] have reason TO think that
TINS selection Is due To an appreciation Of
the disinterestedness Of the policy which
the United States have pursued toward
japan. 1t is our desire to continue =
maintain this di-interested and just policy.
CHINA.
With China, as well as Japan the cor
respondence transmitted herewith shows
that there is no disposition on the part of
this government TO swcrvc from its estab-
lished course
fUBTHERANCE OF AMERICAN INTERESTS
~ JAPAN AND CHINA.
To give importance and to add to the
efficiency of our diplomatic relations with
Japan and China and 20 further US in re-
tanning the good opinion o: those people,
and TO secure to the United States its share
of the commerce destined to flow between
these nations and the balance Of the COM I
mercial world, / earnestly recommend
that an appropriation be made to support
at least four American youths in each of
these countries, TO serve rs n part of the
official families of our ministers there.
Our representatives would not even then
be placed upon an equality /.
with the representatives of Great
Britain and some other powers. AS now
situated, our representatives in Japan and
China have to depend for Interpreters and I
translators upon the natives cfthose coun-
tries, who know our language imperfectly ,
or procure for the occasion the services of
employees in foreign business houses, or the ,
interpreters to other foreign ministers. l
would also recommend liberal measures
for the purpose of aiding the American
lines of steamers now plying between San
francisco and Japan and China, and the
Australian line, which are almost our only
remaining lines of ocean steamers, and Of
increasing their service
THE coREAN Troubles.
Prompted by II desire to put an end to
the oarbarous treatment Of our sbipwrcck-
ed sailors on the Corean coast, Il instructed
our minister ut Pekin to endeavor to con-
clude convention with Corea for secur-
ing the safety and humane treatment cf
such mariners. Admiral Rogers was in
structed to accompany him with suff-
cient force to protect him in case of need.
A small surveying party, sent out, on
reaching the coast, was treacherously at.
tackled at disadvantage Ample oppor-
tunity was given for explanations and an
apology for the insult, but neither
came. A force was then landed,
and after an arduous march over
rugged and difficult country, the forts
from which the outrages had been commit
ted were gsllantly assaulted and DESTROYED.
Having thus punished the criminals and
having vindicated the honor of the flag,
the expedition returned. Finding il I'M
practicable, under the circumstances, to
conclude tho desired convention, respect
fully refer to the correspondence relating
thereto, herewith submitted, and leave the
subject for such action as congress may see
