 .ace the adjournment of Congress, the

 sutive has relaxed no effort to render in-

 .actble the relations of amity which so yily exist between the United States and ', countries. The treaty lately conclud- l. sitl Great Britain has tended greatly to ,sse the good understanding which a re- Vcity of interest IS calculated to encour- and 1t is most ardently to be hoped that hing may transpire to interrupt, the rela- s of amity which it is so obviously the H,y of both nations to cultivate.

 j question of much importance still re-

 to be adjusted between them. The torial limits of the two countries in re-

 a to what is commonly known as the son territory, still remain in dispute

 United States would be at all times in f9sed to aggrandize themselves at the ex-

 of any other nation; but while they ld be restrained by principles of honor, len should govern the conduct of nations well as that of individuals, from setting

 demand for territory which does not png to them, they would as unwillingly sent to surrender of their rights. After most rigid, and as far as practicable, un- Fed examination of the subject, the Uni Sates have always contended that their hts appertain to the entire region of coun- ymg on the Pacific, and embraced with he 42d and 54th degs. 40 min. of North 'ude- This claim being controverted by pat Britain, those who have preceded the sent Executive, actuated, no doubt, by an nest desire to adjust the matter upon terms Fually satisfactory to both countries, have Fed to be submitted to the British govern Rt propositions for settlement and final Psiment, which, however, have not proved toiore acceptable to it. Our minister at don has, under instructions, again brought Fuolect to the consideration of that goverll- and while nothing will be done to pprOmlt the rights, or honor of the United es, every proper expedient will be resort sO Tn order to bring the negotiation now se progress of resumption, to a speedy happy termination. In the mean time it Rloper to remark, that many of our citi- are either already established in the ter

 y or are on their way thither for the pur-

 oi lofmlngperman settlements, while

 ITS are preparing to follow-and in view iese lacts, must repeat the recommen- On con'amed in previous messages, for esaOllshment of military posts, at such es' on the line of travel, as will furnish ill'y and protection to our hardy adven- IS agamst hostile tribes of Indians, inha-

 nose extensive regions Our laws lu also follow them, so modified as the uns'ances of the case may seem to re- e' Under the influence of our free sys-

 government, new republics are des- to spring up, at no distant day, on the ss: ,es ol the Pacific, similar in policy and p Ieiillg to those existing on this side of "o0Ay Mountains, and giving a wider ;na more extensive spread to the principles lsll and religious liberty.
