PRESIDENTS MESSAGE. [CONCLU ?KD.] complies with th? tenus they impose, tho privilege of purchasing ii limited portion bf unoflci'od lands at tho tninituuiu price. The homestead grants relieve tho settler from pay ment of purchase money, and secure bim a permutent homo upon the condition of resi dence for tl term of yous. This liberal policy invites emigration from tho old and from thc . more crowded portions of tho. new world. Its propitious results arc undoubted, sud will bo Utorosignally manifested when time shall have boen given to it wider development. KA.tl.UOAL LAND (I lt ANTS. Congress has made, liberal grants of public lindi to corporations in aid of tho construc tion of railroads and oilier internal improve ments. Should this policy hereafter prevail, more, stringent provisions will bo required lo sooure a faithful application of the funds. Tho title to the hinds should not pass by patent or otherwise," but remain in the Government, and subject to tts control. Some portion of tho road has boon actually built ; portions of them might, llicn, from timo'to lime, bc conveyed tb tho corporation; but never in a greater ra tio to tho whole quantity embraced by thc grant th in tho completed parts bear to thc entire length of tho projected improvement This restriction would not operate to the prej ttdico of any undertaking conceived in gooi faith and executed with reasonable energy, a it is thc settled practice to withdraw fron market thc lands falling within tho operatic Of such gran's, and tims to exclude the inc?|i lion of a subsequent adverse right.

During tho last fiscal year thc amount phi to pensioners, including the expenses of di bursotnotit, was thirteen million four liomin and fifty-nine thousand nine hundred titi ninety six dellars J und fift y thousand 01 hundred and seventy seven names were addi to the pension rolls.

It is a subject of congratulation that no for- j ci?^ti combinations against our domestic peace and safety, or our legitimate intluence among tho nations, have been formed or attempted. While sentiments nf rooouoiliation, loyalty and patriotism have increased at hollie, a moro just consideration of our national character and rights has bcoii manifested by foreign nations. Tho entire success of the Atlantic Telegraph between the coast of f roland and tho Province of Newfoundland, is an achievement which has been justly celebrated in both hemispheres as an opening of au era in tho progress of civ ilization. There is reason ld expect that equal success will attend, and even greater results fojlow, thc enterprise for connecting the two Continents through tho Pacific Ocean by tlio projected lino of telegraph bet ween Kamsqhat ka and tho Russian possessions in A morion. The resolution of Congress protesting against pardons by foreign Governments of persons convicted of infamous offences ; on condition of emigration to our country; it has been com. munleatcd to thc States with which wc main tain intercourse, and tho practice so justly the subject of complaint on our part, lui? not been renewed. The. congratulations of Congress to the Em peror of Russia, upon his escapo from nt tempt ed assassination, have been presented to that humane and enlightened ruler, and received by him with expressions of grateful apprecia tion. Tho Executive, warned of an allem] ! by Spanish-American adventurers to induce the emigration of freedmen of tho United Stales to a foreign country,' protested against the project as one which, if consummated, would reduce them to a bondage even moro oppres sive than that from which they have just been relieved. Assurance has been received from tho Government of tho State in which the plan was matured, that tho proceedings will meet neither its encouragement nor approval. lt is a question worthy of your consideration, whether our laws upon this subject are ado <(uate to tho prevention or punishment of the crime thus meditated. TUB MUX IC AN tJUBSTtON. Tn thc mont h of April last, as Congress is aware, a friendly arr ing?nient was made be tween the Emperor of Franco and the Presi dent of the United States for the withdrawal from Mexico of tho French OX ped i I iona ry mil dary forces. This withdrawal was to be effect cd in three, detachments, the first of which it was understood, would leave .Mexico in No vom bor, now past, the second in Mandi next and the third and last in November, 1X(',7. Immediately upon the completion of the cvac nation, thc French Government was to assumi the sume, attitude of non-intcrvontion, in re gard lo Mexico, ns is held by thc Govornnioh of tho United States. Repeated assurance have been given by the Emperor, since tba agreement, that, he would complete thc prom iscd evacuation within thc period mentioned or sooner. It was reasonably expected that thc proceed ings thus contemplated would produce a crisi of great political interest in .the Republic < Mexico. Thc newly-appointed Minister < thc United States, Mr. Campbell, was then fore sent forward, on the .Rh day of Novonibi last, to assume his proper functions as Mini: ter Plenipotentiary of the United States t that Republic. lt was also thought exped ?lit that he should ho attended in the vieillit of Mexico by the Lieutenant General of th Army of the United States, with the view ( obtaining such information as might be in portant to determine tho course to bo pursue hy the United States in re establishing nu maintaining necessary and proper inteieour: with tho Republic of Mexico. Uceply inte ested in the Ca USO of liberty and humanity, scorner] an obvious duty on our part to exe eise whatever influence we possessed for tl restoration and permanent establishment that country of a domestic and republic: form of government. Snob was tho condition of affairs in rega to Mexico, when, on tho 23d of Xovemh last, official information was received fro Paris that the Eniperot of Franco had son time before decided not. to withdrawn dritnc mont of his forces in tho month of Xovemh past, according to engagement, but that tl decision was made with thc purpose of wit drawing the whole of those forces in the ens ing spring. Of this determination, howevi the United States had not received any noti or intimation ; and, so soon as the in format i< was received hythe. Government, carew taken to make known its dissent to (he I'?inr ror of France. I cannot forego tho hope that France w reconsider the subject, and adopt some resol tion in regard to thc evacuation of Mexi which will conform as nearly as practical with the existing engagement and thus m< the just expectations of the United States. The papers relating to the subject will be li before you. It is believed that, with t evacuation of Mexico by tho expedition: forces, no subject for serious differences tween Franco and the United States wm remain. The. expressions of tho Em pc and people, of Franco Warrants a hope that traditionary friendship between the two co tries might in that cn*o bo renewed and j innnontly restored. A claim of a citizen of tho United St; for indemnity for spoliations committed on high seas by tho French authorities, in exercise of a belligerent powbr against Mt co, has boon mot by the Government of Fra with r\ proposition to defer settlement uni mutual convention for the adjustment of claims of citizens and subjects of both co tries, arising out of tho recent wars on Continent, shall bo narced upon by the oontitries. The suggestion is not deemed roasonnble, but it belongs to Congress to di the manner in which olnims for indemnity foreigners ns well ns by citizcus of tho United : States, arising out of tho Into civil wm-, slndl be adjudicated and determined. 1 have no I doubt that thc subject of all sue.h claims will engage your attention ut a convouieut and proper time, .-(.

The delay, however, tuny be believed to havo resulted il) no sm li If de gree from thc domestic situation of Groat Britain. An entire chango of ministry occur red in that country during the last session of Parliament.

TUB PUN IAN HAID. On the Otll of dunc last, in violation of our h?ulrnlity laws, tl military expedition and enterprise against the Ill ili di North American (JoiOliies was projected and attemp ted to be carried oil within the ton it ?ry and jurisdiction of tho United St:,les. lu obedi ence to the obligation imposed upon the l'?xo colive by the. Constitution, to seo that tho laws ?ne faithfully executed, all citizens were warned, against taking part iii or aiding such unlawful proceedings, and the proper civil, military and naval officers were directed to take all necessary measurer, fur the enforce ment of the laws. Tho exp?dition failed, but it, has not'been without its painful consequen ce?. . Some of our citizens who, it was al leged; were engaged in ihc expedition, were captured, nh it have been brought to trial, as for a capital offence, in tho Province of Cana da. Judgments und son toners of death have been pronounced against some, while others hare been acquitted. Fully believing in the mn N i tu of government, that severity of civil punishment for misguided poisons who have engaged in revolutionary attempts which have disastrously failed, is Unsound and unwise, sueb repr?sentation have been made tn the liri tish Government, in behalf of tho convic ted persons, ns, being sustained byan enlight ened and humano judgemnt, will, it is hoped, induce in their cases an exercise of clemency, and a judicious amnesty to nil who were en gaged in thc niovemei r Counsel lins been employed by the Govern meut to defend citi zens of thc United States on trial for capital offences in Canada ; and a discontinuance of lite, prosecutions which were instituted in the courts of tho United States against those who took part in thc expedition, has been direc ted. 1 have regarded the expedition as not only political in ils nature, but also in n great meas ure foreign from the United States in its cau ses, character, and objects. The attempt was understood to bc made in sympathy with an insurgent party in Ireland, und, by striking at a British Province on this Continent, was j designed to aid in obtaining redress for politi cal grievances which, it was assumed, the peo ple of Ireland had suffered nt thc bands of ?.he British Govcronicnt during a period of several centuries. The persons engaged in it were chiefly natives of that country, some of whom had, while others had not, become citi zens of the United States under our general laws of naturalization. Complaints of mis government in Ireland continually engage the attention of tho .British nation, mid so great an agitation is now prevailing in [rebind thal the British Government have deemed it nec essary to suspend thc writ of /tnbras corpus in that country. These circumstances must necessarily modify the opinion which wc might otherwise hare entertained in regard tonn ex pedition expressly prohibited hy our neutrali ty laws. So long ns those l.iws remain upon our stilt ute-books, they should bo faithfully executed, and if they operate harshly, unjust ly, or oppressively, Congress alone eau apply the remedy, by their modifient ion or repeal. A M KU I CAN INTBKESTS IN TUB HAST. Political und commercial interest in tho United States are not unlikely to be affected in some degree by events which arc transpir ing in tho Mastern regions of Kuropo, and thc time seems to have come when our Gov ernment ought tn have a proper diplomatic representation in Greece. NATU lt A LI KATI ON A NI) AbbKOIANOB. This government has claimed for all persons not conviotedt or accused, or suspected of crimp j an absolute political right of self-ex pa triation, and ti choice of new national alle giance. Most of the European States have dissented from this principle,and have claimed a right to hold such of their subjects as have immigrated to and bern naturalized in the United States, and afterwards returned on transient visita to their native countries, to thc : performance of military service in like man- ? ncr as resident .subjects. Complaints arising from the claim in this respect, made by for- ' cign States, have heretofore been matters of controversy between thc United States and ( some of tho European, powers, and tho irrita- . tion consequent upon tho failure to settle this I question increased during tho war in which ' Prussia, Italy, and Austria were recently en- ' gaged. Wliilo Groat Britain has never no- j knowledged tho right of expatriation, she lins i not practically insisted upon it. France has 1 been equally forbearing ; and Prussia bas 1 proposed a compromiso, which, although ovin- . ? c?ng increased liberality, has not boen accept led by the United States. Peace is now pro-1 ? iiiliH.il. i i jiMii.; ? .m i. ,mmjuH<^J?'J.?? ?Btttea* vailing everywhere in Europe, and thc prcsctv seems to ho ? favorable time for an assertion hy Congress of the principle, so long main tained by tho Executive Department, that naturalization hy ono State fully exempts the native horn subject of any other State from the performance of military service undorany foreign government, so loilg as he does not voluntarily renounce its rights and benefits. CONCLUSION. Tn the performance of a duty imposed upon me hy the Constitution, I have thus submit teri to thc Representatives of the States and of tin* people such information of our domestic and loreign n Itu irs as the public interests seem to rehuir?. Our government is now itnderg'HMjjS its most trying ordeal, und my earnest prayer is, that, the peril linty be successfully and limit ly passi'd, without iiuptirring its original strength and symmetry. The interests of thc nation are best to be promoted hy the revival of fraternal relations, thc completo oblitera tion, of our past diff?rences, and the rciniiu guruttou of all thc pursuits of peace. Direc ting our cllbrts to the early aceotnplishimntt of these groat ?mis, lei us endeavor to prc serve harmony between the co-ordinate do pait incuts of tho government, that each in its propor sphere may cordially co operate with the oilier in securing the maintenance td* the Constitution, the preservation (d' tho. Union, and the perpetuity of ourfreer institutions. AX DU KW JOHNSON. NV-ashington, Dec. 8, 18GC. DHSTINY or TI IF, Nr.ouo.-A census o M ississippi, taken thi.sycar,shoir*th:tt tho t<?ta population of th it State is now (?0,000 ICM (han it was in 1800. A census now taking in Alabama shows a proportionate decrease ii nil the counties in that State where the worl has been completed. Lu other Southern States the worl; of enumerating the population is ii progress, under State authority, and it is lu: licved that the results will sbnw a similar de population throughout the South. The most important fact which is revenid by tin: census of Mississippi and Alabama i (lie tirent (Hld rapid decrease of the black poy illation. The decrease of white population i MX youri! has been, in the State r*f Mississippi 8,000. The decrease of the black populntio in Mississippi has been in the same time, ?"?7 000. In those portions (d' Alabama whet the census is completed, thc relative deereas nf blacks and w ll i tefl is .shown to have bee about thc same. Thc black population lui decreased in six years at the rate of lil p< cent., while in the same period, under all th destructive agencies of civil war, the decroai of white population has been in the neigh on boori of 3 per cent. If the ratio shall 1 thc same throughout thc South, it will appei that the black population tn that section In been reduced from 1,000,000 in 1800 to il 180,000 in 1SGI?. These facts, says a contemporary, forotc with a certainty that is more reliable thu mere prophecy, what is the inevitable riestii of ihv negro taco in this country. \ Jhtcon Tclnjraph.
