to our traditional neutrality in civil
contests elsewhere, we cannot be in
different to the spread of American po
litical ideas, in a great and highly civ
iiized country like France. We were
asked by the uew government to use
our good offices with those of the Eu
ropean powers in tlie interest of peace.
Answer was made that the established
policy and the true interests o! the Uni
ted States forbade us to interfere in
European questions jointly with Eu
ropean powers. I ascertained infor
mally and unofficially that the Gov
ernment of North Germany was not
then disposed to listen to such repre
sentation from any powers, and though
earnestly wishing to see the blessings
of peace restored to the belligerents,
with all of whom the United States
are on terms of friendship, I decided,
on the part of this Government, not
to take a step which could only result
in injury to our true interests, without
advancing the object for which our
intervention was invoked. Should the
time come when the action ol the Uni
ted States cau hasten the return of
peace by a single hour, that action will
be heartily taken 1 deemed it prudent
in view of ti e number of persons of
German ami French birth living in the

been fruitless, but that it is even pro

extradition treaties with toe cen
tral AMERICAN REPUBLICS.
It is the obvious interest, especially
of neighboring nations, to provide
against impunity to those who may
have committed high crimes within
their borders, and who may have sought
refuge abroad. For this purpose extra
dition treaties have been concluded
with several of the Central American
Republics, and others are in progress.
CLAIMS AGAINST VENEZUELA.
The sense of Congress is desired as ear
ly as may be convenient upon the pro
ceedings of the Commission on Claims
against Venezuela, as communicated
in my messages of March 16th, 1869,
Maich 1st, 1870, and March 3lst,
1S70. It has not been deemed advisa
ble to distribute any of the money
which has been received from that
Government, until Congress shall have
acted upon the subject.
THE MASSACRE OF CHRISTIANS IN CHINA.
The massacres of French and Rus-
government during the rebellion. The
Cabinet of London, so far as its views
have been expressed, does not appear
to be willing to concede that her Ma
jesty’s Government was guilty of any
negligence, or did or permitted any
act, during the war, by which the
United States has just cause of com-
plaiut. Our firm and unalterable con
victions are directly the reverse. I
therefore recommend to Congress to
authorize the appointment of a com
mission to take proof of the amounts
and the ownerships of these several
claims on notice to the representative
of Her Majesty at Washington, and
that authority be given for the settle**
meat of these claims by the United
State*, so that the Govermeut shall
have the ownership of the private
claims as well as the responsible con
trol of the demands against Great Brit
ain. It eannot be necessary to add
that whenever Tier Majesty’s Govern
ment shall entertain a desire f "- * foil

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
* l regret to say that no conclusion
has been reached for the adjustment of
the claims against Great Britain grow>
THE CANADIAN FISHERY Q
The eourse pursued by
dian authorities towards th<
of the United States during .... r .—
season has not been marked by a friend
ly feeling. By the first article of the
Convention of 1818, between Great
Britain and the United States, it was
agreed that the inhabitants of the
United States should have forever, in
common with British subjects, the
right of taking fish in certain waters
therein defined. In the waters not in
cluded in the limit named in the Con
vention, within three miles of parts of
the British coast, it has been the cus
tom for many years to give to intrud
ing fishermen of the United States a
seasonable warning of their relation
to the technical rights of Great Brit
ain.
The Imperial Government is undert
stood to have delegated the whole or
a share of its jurisdiction or control
of these inshore fishing grounds to the
Colonial authority, known as the Do
minion of Canada, and this semi-inde
pendent, but irresponsible agent, has
exercised its delegated powers in an
unfriendly way. Vessels have been
seized without notice or warning, in
violation of the custom previously pre
vailing, and have been taken into Col
onial ports, their voyages broken up
and the vessels condemned.
There is reason to believe that this
unfriendly and vexatious treatment
was designed to bear harshly upon the
hardy tub*‘men of the Uoited States,
with a view to political effect upon
this Government. The Statutes of
the Dominion ot Canada assume a still
broader and more untenable jurisdic
tion over the vessels of the United
States. They authorise officers or per
sons to bring vessels hovering within
three marine miles of any of the coasts,
bays, creeks, or harbors
