To the Congress -of the United Stotmt Your assembling is clouded by a sense of public bssavement, caused by the recent and sudden death 'of Thomas A. Hefcicks, VtcjePresi dent of the United States. His tingwitsbed public services, iais coris plete integrity aaS devotion to-ery duty, and his personal vsptaes "will find honorable aweord in,hissounftey'8 Anapleand repeated proofs of the esteem and eonitdence in which he was-ht d by his fellow kh-mi tinmen, were maniteste by his election to ofi&ff-s of the most imprtaut trust, ao highest dnity, alad,t length, fuii'of years aud of honors, fee Has beEi laid a rest amid uaaiversaS sor -row and benediction.

The jeaieus watchfulness of our constituencies, great and small, sup plements tleir suffrages, and before the tribunal they establish every .public servant should be judged. RELATIONS WITH FOSMGN POWERS. It is gratifying to announce that tfee relations of the United States with all iforeign powers continue to be friendly. Our position after near ly a century of successful coestitu tional government, the main t a? nance of ood faith in all our engagessents, the avoidance of complications with other nations, and our consistent and anaieable attitude toward the strong and weak alike furnish proof of a po litical disposition which renders pro fession of good faith unnecessary. There are no. questions of difleulty pending with any foreign government. A GROUNDLESS CI-AIM. The Argentine government has re vived the long dormant question of tho Falkland islands by claiming from the United States indemnity for their loss, attributed to the action of the commander of the sloop of war, Lexington,in breaking up a.piractical colony on those Islands in 1831, and their subsequent occupation by Great Britain. Iu viw of the ample justi fication for the act of the Lexington and the derelict condition of tbe Island, before and after their alleged occupation by the Argentine colo nists, this government considers the claim as wholly groundless AUSTRIA AND MINISTER KEILEY. A que-tion has arisen with the gow ernmentof Austro Hungry, touching the representation of the- Unite 1 States at Vienna. Having under my constitutional prerogative appointed an estimatible citizen of unimpeach ed probity and competence as minis ter to that court, the government of Austro-Hungary invited the gov ernment to take cognizance of cer tains exceptions based upon allega tions against the personal acception ality of Mr. Keiley, the appointed envoy, asking that,, in view thereof, the appointment should be with drawn. The reasons advanced were such as could not be acquiesced in, without vio'ation of my oath of office and the precepts of the constiiution, since Jhey necessarily involved a limitation in favor of a foreign gov ernment upon the right of selection by the Executive and required such an application of a religious test as a qualification for office under the United States, as would have resulted in the disfranchisement of a large class of our citisens, and the abao donment of a vital principle in our government TheAuatro Hungarian government finally decided not to receive Mr Keiley "as the envoy of the Uni;ed States, and tha gen tleman has since resigned his com mission, leaving the post vacant. I have made no new nomination and the interests of this government at Vienna are now in the care of the Secretary of the legation, acting as charge &' affair s ad interim. CENTRAL AMERICA. E r y in March last war broke ou? in Centra' America, caused by the at tempt of Guatemala to consolidate the several States into one government. In these contests between our neieh feoring States, the United States fors bore to4nterf ere actively, but lent the aid of their friendly offices in depre cation of war, and to promote peace and concord among the belligerents, nd by such counsel contributed ims portantly to the restoration of trans quility in that locality. The emergencies growing out of tbe civil war in the United States of Col umbia, demanded of the government at the beginning of this admin istra. tion, the employment of an armed force to fulfill its guarantees under the thirty-fifty article 01 the treaty of 1845, in order to keep the transit open across tbe isthmus of Panama Desirous of exercising only the pow- ers expressly reserved to us by trea ty, ana mindful of the rights of Col umbia, the forces sent to the isthmus were isstraeted to con fine their action to 'positively and efficaciously" pre venting the transit and its accessories from being "interrupted or embar rassed.'" The -execution of this deli cate and responsible task necessarily involved a police control where tbe local authority was temporarily now erless, &it always in aid of tthe sov ereignty of Ootembia. The prompt amd successfel fulfihV went ot its doty by this government was highly appreciated by the gcv ern merit of Cokimbia, and has been followed bv expressions of its satis- Higtfc praise is due to the officers j and men engaged in this service. The restoration of peace on the I letibmus by the re-estatelishment of 3 the constituted government there, being thus accomplished, the forces of fcke United States were with drawn. AN IJFORTANT -QUESTION. 3?e&ding these occurrences a quee-. tion -of much importance was pre sented by the decrees of the Colusa bian goverament, proclaiming tfee eioeore of certain ports then in the hands of the insurgents, and declare Mag -vessels held by the revolutionists to be piratical and liable to capture by aay power. To neither of these propositions could the United States asseat. A-a effective closure of ports not an the possession of the governs ment, hut held by hostile'partisans, eoiM not be recognwed. Neither could the vessels of the insursrenta against the legitimate sovereignty be ieemed hodtes humam generis within the precepts of international law, whatever -rnht be the definition and penalty of their acts inder the mu nicipal law the State against whose authority they were mi revolt. The denial by this govemmeDt of the Columbian propositions, did ot, however, insply the admission of a belligerent status on the part of the insurgents. TheOolunabean government has ex pressed its willingness to negotiate conventions or the adjustment by arbitration of claims fey foreign eitis zeas arising out of the destruction of the city of Aspin wall hy the insurrec tionary forces. IMPORTANCE -OF THE ISTMSTUS TRANSIT The interest of the United States in a practicable transit for ships across the strip of land separating the Atlantic from the Pacific hag been repeatedly manifested during the last half century. My immediate predecessor caused to be negotiated with Nicaragua a treaty for the construction, bv and at the sole cost of the United States, of a canal through Nicaragua terri tory and laid it before the Senate. Pending the action of that body there on, I withdraw the treaty for reex amination. Attentive consideration of its provisions leads me to withold it from re-submission to the Senate. NO ENTANGLING ALLIANCES. Maintaining as I do, the tenet of a line of precedents from Washington's day, which proscribe 'entangling als liances with foreign States I do not favor a policy of acquisition of new and distant territory or the incorpora tion of remote interests with our own. The laws of progress are vital and organic and we must be conscious of that irresistable tide of commercial expansion which, as the concomitant of our active civilization, day by day, is being urged onward by those in creasing tacilities of production, transportation and communications to which steam and electricity have given birth. But our duty in the present instructs as to address our selves mainly to the development of the vast resources of the great area committed to our charge, and to the cultivation of the arts of peace with in our own borders, though jealously 4 MM Are Appreciated by the People.
