The i question of tho seizure of thc brig Mary Low- I J ell, at Bahama, hy thc Spanish authorities, is | 1 now the subject of correspondence between j this Government, Spain and Groat Britain, j The Captain-General of (Juba, about May last, issued n proclamation authorizing thc ; ; search of vessels on thc high seas.

I I have always felt that tho most, intimate ' \ relations should bc cultivated between the ? ; United States and thc independent nations on ' this Continent. Il may bc well worth con- i sideling whether new treaties between us and ; them may not bc profitably entered into, to i I secure move intimate relations, friendly, com- j i tuerei-d and otherwise. j Thc Interoeeanic Canal to connect the At- j j hillie and Pacific Oceans through tho h th mus of Oaricn, is one in which com tu creo is . j grratly interested. Instructions have been ; j given to ibo Minister of the United Stales nt Columbia to endeavor to obtain authority for a survey lo determine tho practicability of thc undertaking. In mder to comply willi tho agreement of j the United States ns to a mixed commission ' at Lima, for the adjustment of claims, it be carno necessary to send a Commissioner nod I Secretary to Limn. The good ?fiiccs of the tito United States to bring about peace bo- I tween Spain and tile Sooth American Repub lics having been accepted by Spain, Peru, and Chili, n Congress has been invited to bo held j in Washington duri:"/ the present winter, j A grant bes been given to lOurdpeans of ntl ! exclusivo right of tr.-iu.sil over the Territory j of Nicaragua, to which Costs Rica has given ' j its assent, which it is alleged, conflicts with j tho voted rights of citizens of thc United States. Tho Department of Slate has now this subject under consideration. Tiie Minister nt Peru having undo repre sent liions ti.at there was a slate of war be tween Peru and Spain, and that. Spain was conatructing in und neu* New York thiity gunboats, which might be usod by Sj 'tin to relievo tho naval force nt Cuba t ? opomto ti ga i list Porn, orders were given lo prevent their departure. No further stops having hoon taken by tho representative of tho Pe ruvian Government to prevent the depart uro of these vessels, and ? not fooling authorized to <h tain tho property of a nation with which we arc al peace, on mere executive order, thc mutier was referred to thc Court.-'. The con ly 1 of (bo '<.""' botwecu (bc pljicg ' and tito Republic of Paraguay bas made in tcrcotirso with that conti (ry difficult, and ir. Ima been doomed advisable to withdraw our representativo from ibero, j Toward the close of tho hst ndiutimlraiion, u Convention was signed ut London for tho settlement of outstanding claims between Great Prit-.in and. the United States, which failed lo receive the advice and consent of ibo Sonate. The limo and circumstances attend ing tho negotiation of that treaty were unfa, vornhin to its acceptance by tho people of tho United States, ami its provisions were wi olly inadequate for the wettb mont of the grave wrongs sustained by this Government, inju ries resulting to the United States, by reason of thc course adopted by Great Britain during thc war, in increased rates of insurance, in di minution of exports, nod imports, and other obstructions to domestic undustry nod produc tion, in its effect .on the foreign commerce' ol' tho country, in the decrease and transfer to Great Britain cd'our commercial marino, in the prolongation of thc war and increased cost, both in treasure and in lives, in its sup pression. TliCSC could not be adjusted and satisfied ns ordinary commercial claims, which continual!/ misc between commercial nations, and yet tho Convention treated them simply ns such ordinary claims, from which they differ more widely in the gravity of their character, than in the magnitude of their amount. Great even ns is that difference, not a word was found in tho treaty, und not nil inf?rer ce could bo drawn from it, to ro? move tho se oso of (bo unfriendliness of tho course of Great Pritain, in our struggle for existence, which had so deeply and universal ly impressed itself upon thc pimple of this country. Believing that a Convention thus misconceived in its scope, nod inadoquuto in its provisions, would not have produced tho hearty atilt cordial settlement of pending questions, which ale-.,u ?a eonsistent with tho relalio is Which I desire to have firmly estab lished bel ween tho United Slates and Great Britain, 1 regarded tho actum of tho Senate in rejecting the treaty, to have boen wisely taken in thc interest of peace, and ns a nec essary stop in ibo uirootion of a perfect and cordial friendship between thc two countries. A sensitive people, conscious of their pow er, aro moro nt case under a great wrong, wholly tllintonod, than under tho restraint of n .settlement which satisfies neither their ideas of j Us t too nor their gravo sense &f tho griov alices they h.avo sustained. Thc rejection of tho treaty was followed by n state of public feeling on both sides which I thought, not favorable to an immediate attempt at l'dCffyed negotiations. 1. accordingly instnict?iV'&ho Minister of the Unhod States to (irefVIbdt lind found that my views in this regard woro shared by Her Majesty's Ministers. .1 hope that thc time mny soon arrive when tho two Governments cnn approach tho solution of this momentous question with nu appreci ation of wbat is duo to tho? rights, dignity, (ind honor nf each, and with n determination not Only lb remove.tho causes of complaint in tho pat t, but to lay tho foundation of a broad principio o? public law, which will provent ?-- M i-i-- OM futuro differences and tend to linn and contin ued peace nnd friendship. This is now the only grave question which thc United Minies has with any foreign nation. The question of renewing the treaty for n rc oiprocal trade between the I'Iiited States and the British provinces on this continent is not favorably considered. ?T UK S I./WU TRADE. In conformity with recommendation, Con gress' proposition to abolish mixed courts for tlte suppression of the slave trade is under negotiation. THE ritENOii CAUM:. It having como to my knowledge that a corporate company, organized under British laws, proposed to litnd upon tho shores of thc l'iiiled States, and to opcrato there a subma rine cable, under a concession from the J$itt> pcrur of Ibo French of an exclusive right for twenty yens of telegraphic communication between .bianco and tho United States, with tho very objectionable feature of sub jecting till messages conveyed thereby to thc scrutiny and condoi nf tho French Govern ment, 1 caused thc French and British Lega tions nt Washington to bo made acquainted with tho probable policy of Congress pu thin subject, ns foreshadowed by a bill which pas sed thc Senate in March last. This drew from tho representatives of thc company nn agreement to accept as thc basis of their op eration-the provisions of thc bill, or such other enactment on the subject ns might bo passed during thc approaching session of Congi ess) also, to uso their influence to se cure from tho French Government a modifi cation of their concession to permit tho land ing of any cable belonging to any company in corporated by authority of tho United .States, or any Slate in thc Union, and on their part uot lo ojqto.se thc establishment of any such cable. In consideration of this agreement, T directed thc withdrawal of nil opposition on tho part of thc United ?States to the binding of thc cable until the meeting of Congress. 1 regret to say that there liss been no modifi cation made in thc company's concession, nor, so far ns I can leam, have they attempted to secure one. Their concession excludes capi ta! and citizens of tho United ?States from competition upon thc shores of France. I re commend legislation to protect ibo rights of citizens <!'thc United Stales, and thc sover eignty of tho nation, against such an assump tion. 1 shall also endeavor to secure, by ne gotiation, an abandonment of tho principle of monopolies in ocean telegraphic cubics.
