FRANCE AND GERMANY.
The resumption of diplomatic relations be-
tween France and Germany has enabled me 10
rive directions for the withdrawal OF the protec
ton extended to Germans in France by the
Diplomatic and consular representatives OF the
United States in that country. 1t is just TO add
thar the delicate duty of this protection has
been performed by the minister and the consul
general at Paris and the various conSulS in
France under the supervision OF the latter, with
great kindness, as well rs with prudence and
TACT Their course has received the commenda-
ton OF the German government and has wound
ed no susceptibility of the French The govern
ncnt Of the emperor of Germany continues to
manifest a friendly feeling towards the United
STATES, and a desire to harmonic with the mod
crate and Just policy which this government
maintains in its relations with ASiatc powers,
rs well as with South American republics. |
have given assurances that the friendly feelings
Of that government are fully shared by the
United States.

CLAIMS AGAINST SPAIN.
The torty-frSt congress, at its third session,
made an appropriation for the organization of a
mixed oliudirotiv,tr nj,
OF citizens Of the United States against Spain,
| growing out of the instruction in Cuba That
| commission has since been organized. | trans
| NIT herewith the correspondence relating TO its
| formation and its jurisdiction. 1t is to be hoped
| that this commission will afford the claimants
a complete remedy for their injuries. 1t has
been made the agreeable duty Of the United
| States TO preside over conference at Washing
ton between the plenip0entaries of Spain and
The allied South American republics, which has
resulted in an armisticc with reasonable assur-
ance Of 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 proof that there is
| no desire on the part OF his government to di-
| minish the cordially of those relations The
| 20spitable reception, which has been given to
| The grand duke, is a proof that, on our side
| we share the wishes Of that government The
| iutAFuNdDlt COURSE OF tie RUSSIAN minister At
! washington renders it necessary 10 ask his re-
call, and decline TO longer receive that function
| airy as a diplomatic representative 1t was i'm
| possible, with sellrcspect or Just regard to the
| dignity of the country, TO permit Mr. Catacazy
| oconlinue to hold intercourse with this govern
| nent, after his personal abuse OF the govern
| nent officials, and during his persistent inter
| ference, through various means, with the rea-
| lions between the United States and other DOW
ers. In accordance with my wishes, this gov
| eminent has been relieved of further intercourse
| with Mr.. Catacazv, and the management of the
| affairs of the imperial legation has passed into
tue hands Of a gentleman entirely unOhection-
able.
THE COREAN BUSINESS.
W Ith Japan we continue 10 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 of
| importance in several departments Ofhis govern
| ment. have reason TO think this selection is
| due TO an appreciation of the diSinteresteduess
OF the policy which the United States have pur-
sued towards Japan. II is our desire to continue
TO maintain this disnterestel and just policy
with China as well as Japan. The correspond
| ence transmitted herewith shows that there is
| no disposition on the part Of this government TO
| swerye from its established course. Prompted
by desire 10 put an end 10 the barbarOus treat
