part of our minister, to secure redress for
the wrongs which our citizens had endu
red, notwithstanding his persevering ef
forts. And from the temper manifested
by the Mexican government, he had re
peatedly assurred us that no favorable
change could be experienced, until the
U. S. should “give striking evidence of
their trill and power to protect their citi
zens,” and that “ severe chastening is the
only early remedy for our grievances.”—
From this statement of facts, it would have
been worse than idle to direct Mr. Forsyth
to retrace his steps and resume diplomat
ic relations with that government; and it
was, therefore, deemed proper to sanction
his withdrawal of the legation from the
city of Mexico. .
Abundant cause now undoubtedly ex
ists for a resort to hostilities against the
government still holding possession of the
capital Should they succeed in subduing
the constitutional forces, all reasonable
hope will then have expired of a peaceful
settlement of our difficulties.
On the other hand, should the constitu
tional party prevail, and their authority be
established over the republic, there is a
reason to hope that they will be animated
by a less unfriendly spirit and may grant
the redress to American citizens which
justice requires, so far as they possess the
means. But for this expectation, I should
at once have recommended to Congress to
grant the necessary power to the Presi
dent, to take possession of a sufficient por
tion of the remote and unsettled territo
ry' of Mexico, to be held in pledge until
our injuries shall be redressed, and our
just demands be satisfied. We have al-

near a neighbor. AVe have always cher
ished the kindest wishes for the success
of that republic, and have indulged the
hope that it might at last, after all its tri
als, enjoy peace and prosperity under a
free and stable government We have
never hitherto interfered, directly' or indi
rectly, with its internal affairs, and it is a
duty which we owe to ourselves, to pro
tect the integrity of its territory, against
the hostile interference of any other pow
er. Our geographical position, our direct
interest in all that concerns Mexico, and
our well-settled policy in regard to the
North American continent, render this an
indispensable duty'.
Mexico has been in a state of constant
revolution, almost ever since it achiev
ed its independence. One military leader
after another has usurped the government
in rapid succession ; and the various con
stitutions from time to tune adopted, have
been set at naught almost as soon as they
were proclaimed. The successive govern
ments have afforded no adequate protec
tion, either to Mexican citizens or foreign
residents, against lawless violence. Here
tofore, a seizure of the capital by a milita
ry chieftain, has been generally followed
by at least the nominal submission of the
country to his rule for a brief period, but
not so at tlic present crisis of Mexican af
fairs. A civil war has been raging for
some time throughout the republic, be
tween the central government at the city
of Mexico, which has endeavored to sub
vert the constitution last framed, by mili
tary power, and those who maintain the
authority of that constitution. The antag
onist parties each hold possession of dif
ferent States of the republic, and the for
tunes of the war are constantly changing.
Meanwhile, the most reprehensible me^ns
have been employed by both parties to ex
tort money from foreigners, as well as na
tives, to carry' on this ruinous contest—

Atlantic and Pacific possessions. The lat
ter now extend, throughout seventeen de
grees of latitude on the Pacific coast, em
bracing the important State of California
and the flourishing Territories of Oregon
and Washington. All commercial nations,
therefore, have a deep and direct interest,
that these communications shall be ren
dered secure from interruption. If an
arm of the sea, connecting the two oceans,
penetrated through Nicaragua and CosAa
Rica, it could not be pretended that these
States would have the right to arrest or I
retard its navigation, to the injury of oth
er nations. The transit by land over this
narrow isthmus, occupies nearly the same
position. It is a highway in which they
themselves have little interest, when com
pared with the vast interests of the rest
of the world. Whilst their rights of sov
ereignty ought to be respected, it is the
possessions. Were such a stipulation em
braced in a treaty between the United
States and Nicaragua, the knowledge of
this fact would of itself most probably
prevent hostile parties from committing
aggressions on the route, and render our
actual interference for its protection un
necessary.
The executive government of this coun
try, in its intercourse with foreign nations,
is limited to the employment of diplomacy
alone. When this fails, it can proceed no
on their part, of what is due to the gov-
ment and citizens of the United States.
Against New Granada we have long
standing causes of complaint, arising out
of the unsatisfied claims of our citizens
upon that republic; and to these have
been more recently addccF the outrages
committed upon the citizens of Panama,
in April, 1856. A treaty for the adjust
ment of these difficulties was concluded
by the Secretary of State, and the Minis
ter of New Granada, in September, 1857,
further. It cannot legitimately resort to 'which contained just and acceptable pro-
force, without the direct authority of
Congress, except in resisting and repel
ling hostile attacks. Tt would have no
authority to enter the territories of Nicar
agua, even to prevent the destruction of
the transit, and protect the lives and prop
erty of our own citizens on their passage.
It is true, that on a sudden emergency of
tills character, the President could direct
any armed force in the vicinity to march
to their relief; but in doing this he would
act upon his own responsibility.
Under these circumstances, I earnestly
recommend to Congress, the passage of an
act authorizing the President, under such
restrictions as they may deem proper, to
employ the land and naval forces of the
United States in preventing the transit
duty of other nations to require, that this from being obstructed or closed by law-
important passage shall not be interrupt
ed, by the civil wars and revolutionary
outbreaks, which have so frequently oc
curred in that region. The stake is too
important, to be left at the mercy of rival
companies, claiming to hold conflicting
less violence, and in protecting the lives
and property of American citizens travel
ing thereupon, requiring at the same time
that these forces shall be withdrawn the
moment the danger shall have passed 1 a-
way. Without such a provision, our citi-
contracts with Nicaragua. The commerce ‘ zens will be constantly exposed to intcr-
’ ruption in their progress, and to lawless
violence.
A similar necessity exists for the pas-
of other nations is not to stand still and
await the adjustment of such potty con
troversies. Tlic government of the Uni
ted States expect no more than this and
they will not be satisfied with less. They
would not, if they could, derive any ad
vantage from the Nicaragua transit, not
common to the rest of the world. Its neu
trality and protection, for the common use
of all nations, is their only object They
have no objection that Nicaragua shall de
mand and receive a fair compensation,
from the companies and individuals who
may traverse the route ; but they insist
that it shall never hereafter be closed, by
an arbitrary decree of that government.
If disputes arise between it and those with
whom they may have entered into con-
sage of such an act, for the protection of
the Panama and Tehuantepec routes.
In reference to the Panama route, the
United States, by tlieir existing treaty
with New Granada, expressly guarantee
the neutrality of the Isthmus, “ with
the view that the free transit from the
one to the other sea may not be interrupt
ed or embarrassed in any future time
while this treaty exists.”
In regard to the Tehuantepec route,
which has been recently opened under the
most favorable auspices, our treaty with

route at any moment These the United
last two or three
years, have received the prompt attention
of this government. Some of these inju
ries were of the most aggravated charac

visions for that purpose. This treaty was
transmitted to Bogota,- and was ratified by
the government of New Granada, but with
certain amendments. It was not, howev
er, returned to this city until after the
close of the last session of the Senate. It
will be immediately transmitted to that
body for their advice and consent; and
should this be obtained, it will remove all
our existing causes of complaint against
New Granada on the subject of claims.
Questions have arisen between the two
governments as to the right of New Gra
nada to levy a tonnage duty upon the ves
sels of the United States in its ports of the
Isthmus, and to levy a passenger tax upon
our citizens arriving in- that country,—
whether with a design to remain there or
to pass from ocean to 1 ocean by the transit
route ; and also a tax upon the mail of
the United States, transported over the
Panama railroad. The government ofNew
Granada has been informed that the Uni
ted States would' consider the collection of
cither of these taxes, as an act in violation
of the treaty between the two countries,
and as such would be resisted by the Uni
ted States. At the same time, we axe
prepared to discuss these questions in a
spirit of amity and justice, and with a-sin-
eere desire to- adjust them in a satisfactory
manner.- A negotiation for that purpose
has already been commenced. No effort
has recently been made to collect these
taxes, nor is any anticipated under pres
ent circumstances'/
With the empire of Brxff, our relations
are of the most friendly character. The
productions of the two’ eouatries, and es
pecially those of an agricultural nature,
are such as to invite extensive mutual ex
changes. A large .quantity of American
flour is consumed ie - Brazil; whilst more
than; treble the amount in value of Brazil
ian coffee is consumed in the United States.
Whilst this is the case, a heavy duty has
been levied; until very recently, upon the
importation of American flour into Brazil
I am gratified, however, to be able to in
form you: that in September last this has
been reduced from $1.32 to about forty-
nine cents per barrel, and the duties on
other articles of our production have been
diminished in nearly the same proportion.
I regret to state that the government of
Brazil still continues to levy an export
duty of about 11 per cent on coffee, not
withstanding this article is admitted free
from duty in' the United States. This is
a heavy charge upon the consumers of
coffee in our country, as we purchase half
of the entire surplus crop of that article
raised in Brazil. Our minister, under in
structions, will reiterate his efforts to have
this export duty removed; and it is hoped
that the enlightened government of the
Emperor will adopt tins wise, just, and e-
qual policy. In that event, there is good
reason to believe that the commerce be
