Foreign Affairs.
In reviewing the events of the year which
has elapsed since the commencement Of your
sessions, ! first call your attention to the
gratifying condition Of our foreign affairs. Our
to be OF tie most friendly character. Such
slight differences AZ hrve arisen during the
year have been already settled, or are likely to
reach IN early adjustment.
The arrest OF citizens Of the United States in
ireland under the recent laws which owe their
origin 10 the disturbed condition Of that coun-
| try, has led TO q somewhat extended correspon-
| dence With the government Of Great Britain.
! A disposition to respect our rights has been
| practically manifested by the release Of the ar
| rested parties.
| IN claim Of the nation in regard to the
sryeisfS.sa and control Of any inter-oceanic
canal scross tue American isthmus has con-
! tinued 10 be the subject Of conference. II is
! likely that time will be more powerful than
! discussion in removing the divergence between
| the two nations whose friendship il so closely
/ cemented by the intimacy of their relations and
! the Community 0f their interest.
! Our long established friendlness with Russia
has reirsined tinbroken. II has prompted me
| to proffer the earnest counsel Of this govern
meut, that measures be adopted for suppress
| ing the proscrlptjon which the Uebrpw rsce II,
fiat country has lately sufYsrcd, n has not
transpired that any American citisen has been
subjected to arrest or injury, but Our courteous
remonstrance has nevertheless been courteousiy
received. There Is reason TO believe the time
! is not far distant when Russia will be able 10
secure tole ration TO all faiths within her bor,lers
