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 United States, to issue, soon after official | notice of a state of war had been re- I ceived from both belligerents, a proc- ! initiation defiuing the duties of tht i United States as a neutral, and the I obligations of persons residing within j their territory to observe their laws | and tfie laws of nations.

The expediency of taking into consideration proper measures for counterbalancing the policy referred to, will, it is pre sumed, engage your earnest attention. 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 and friendly adjustment claims, the United States upon their consideration w nest desire for a conclusiot with the honor and dignity tions, requiring constant and severe labor, as well as the exercise of patience, pru- ilenre and judgment. It has been per formed to tfie entire satisfaction of this tween the local authorities and the mob.

I deem it im portant, however, that this part of the boundary line should be definitely fix ed by a joint commission of the two Governments, and I submit herewith estimates of the expense ot such » commission on the part of the United States, and recommend that an appro priation be made for that purpose. The land boundary has already been fixed and marked f rom the summit ot the Rocky Mountains to the Georgian Bay. It should now be in like man ner marked from the lake ef the woods to the summit of the Rocky Moun tains. 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 port, to search the carg< master on oath touching voyage, aid to inflict heavy pecuniary penal! swers are not given; i vessel is found preparin three marine miles ot coasts, bays, creeks, or 1 out a license, or after th the period named in tl granted to it, they pre vessel with her tackle, . be forfeited.
