TIE MESSAGE.
The following is the Presidents mes
sage transmitting the additional CHILEAN
correspondence to Congress:
TO THE SENATE AND House OF REPRE-.
SENTATIvEs:
L transmit herewith the additional
correspondence between this Govern.
ment and the government of Chilli, con-
sisting of the note of Mr.. Montt, the
Gillian minister at this Capital, to Mr..
Blaine, dated January %; tho reply of
Mr.. Blaine thereto of the date of Janu-
airy 81, and the dispatch from Mr.. Egan,
our minister at Santiago. Transmitting
the response of Mr.. Pereira, the Gillian
minister of foreign affairs, to the note
of Mr.. Blaine of January 81, which was
received by me on the 26Jh instant.
Tho note of Mr.. Montt to Mr.. Blaine,
though dated January %, was not de.
l1vered at the State Department until
after IL o'clock the meridian of the 25th,
notified to me until late in the afternoon
of that day. The response of Mr.. Pereira
to our note of the 2lst withdraws, with
acceptable expressions Of regret, the
offensive note of Mr.. Malta of the 1lth
ultimo and also tho request for tho re-
call of Mr.. Egan.
The treatment of the incident of tho
assault upon the sailors of the Balti-
more is so conciliatory and friendly
that am of the opinion that there is
good prospect that the differences grow
ing cut of that serious affair can now be
adjusted upon terms satisfactory to the
Government by the usual methods and
without special powers from Congress.
This turn in tho affair is very gratifying
to me, as am sure it will be to Con-
gress and our people. The general sup
port of the efforts Of the executive to
enforce the just right of the nation in
this matter has given instructive and
useful illustration Of the unity and
patriotism of our people. Should it be
necessary [ will again communicate
with Congress upon the subject,
