| annO1ncs with sincere regret that
Hayti has agsin bscome TIE theatre Of iu-
sarrection, disorder, and blood-shed. The
titular government, of President Solomon
has been forcibly ovsrthrown, and he
driven out of the country TO France, where
he has since died. The tenure OF power
has been so unstable amid the war of fac.
tions that has ensuei since the expulsion
of President Solomon, that no GJvernment
constituted by the will of the Haytian
people has been recognized as administer
ing responsibly the affairs Of that country.
Oar repres eatative has been instructed
10 abstain from interference between the
wsrring factions, and vessel Of our navy
has been sent to Iisytien waters to sustain
our minister and for the protection of the
persons and property Of American citizsns.

force our neutrality laws, and prevent our

WOULD GIRDLE THE PACIFIC.
In the vast field of Oriental co OnmeTce
now unfGlded from our Pacific bcrders, no
feature preseRts stronger recommendations
/ for Congressional action than the establish
ment OF communicative by submarine tel
egraph with Honolulu. The~geoRrsphical
position Of the Hawaiian group, in>isIailon
to our Pacific States, creates q natural in
tsr.dependency and mutusliiy of interest
which our present treaties were intended
to foster, and which make close commuui-
cation logical and commercial necessity.
RELATIONS WITH OUR NBIGHBOR REPUB-
Lie.

commercial reciprocity with Mexico has

and friendly cooperation and concilistion

ferred TO my arbitration, and by an award
made on the 22d OF Mach last the question

THE SOUTH AMERICAN STATES.
The Empire Of Brazil, in abOllshing the
last vesti2e of slavery among Christian ma.
ti6np, called forth the earnest congratulA-
tions OF this government in expression OF
the cordial symplthies of our people. The
claims OF nearly all other countries against

Bolivia and Peru have bsea disposed Of,
either by sIbitrst on or by lump settle
ment. Similar Gains Of or citizens will

TO further delays.
/ A comprehensive treaty of amity and
commerce with Peru was proclaimed on

good understanding will be promoted.
In pursuance of the policy Of Arbitration

PLAIN TALK TO VENEZUELA.
Through uniorst e1 causes, foreign TO the
will Of both Governments, the ratifica:ions
Of the convention Of December 3, 1SS5,
with Venezuela, for the rehelring Of
claims of citizens OF the United States,
under the treaty Of 1850, failed to ex'
change within the term provided and a

and explanatory of an ambiguous provi-
sion of the prior convention, now awaits
the advice and consent Of the Senate.
