Por several years, Spain has been calling
the attention of this Government to a claim
for losses, by some of her subjects, in the case
of the schooner Amistad. This claim is be-
lieved to rest on the obligations imposed by
our existing treaty with that country. Its
justice was admitted in our diplomatic corre
spondence with the bpimsh Government as
early as March, 1847 ; and one of my prede-
cessors, in bis annual message of that year,
recommendedthat provisions sbould be made
for its payment. In January last, itjwas again
submitted to Congress by the Executive. It
has received a favorable consideration "by com-
mittees of both banches, but as yet there has
been no final action upon it. I conceive-that
good faith requires its prompt adjustment, and
I present it to your early and favorable consideration.
Martin Eoszta, a Hungarian by birth, came
to this country, in ISoO, and declared his in-
tention, in due foim of law, to become a citi

Considering the vast regions of this conti-
nent, and the number of States which would
be made accessible by the free navigation of
the river Amazon, particular attention has
been given to this subject. Brazil, through
whose territories it passps into the ocean, has
hitherto persisted in a policy so restrictive, in
regard to the use of this river, as to obstiuct
and nearly exclude foreign commercial inter-
course witK the States which lie upon its trib-
utaries and upper branches. 4)ur Minister to
thatcountry is instructed to obtain a relaxa-
tion of that policy, and to use his efforts to
induce the Brazilian Government to open to
common use, under proper safeguards, this
gieat natural highway for international trade.
Several of the South American States are
deeply interested in this attempt to Secure the
free navigation of theAmizon, and it is rea
sonable to expect their co-operation in the
measure. As the advantages of free com-
mercial intercom se among nations are better

the application of the public funds, as drawn

I have no occasion to suggest any radical
changes in the financial policy of the Gov-
ernment. Ours is ..lmost, if not absolutely,
the solitary power of Christendom having a
surplus revenue, drawn immediately from im-
posts on commerce, and theiefore measured
by the spontaneous enterprise and national
piospeilty of the country, with such indirect
relation to agiiculture, manufactures, and the
products of the eaith and sea, as to violate
no constitutional doctrine, and yet vigoiously
promote the general welfare. Neither as to
the sources of the public treasure, nor as to
the manner of keeping and managing it, does
any grave controversy now prevail, there
being a general acquiescence in the wisdom of
the present system. The report of the Sec-
retary of the Treasury will exhibit, in detail,
the state of the public finances, and the con-
dition of the vaiious branches of the public
service administered by that department of
the Government.
The revenue of the country, levied almost
irisensibly to the taxpayer, goes on from year
to year increasing beyond either the interests
or the prospective wants of the Government.
At the close of the fiscal year ending June
30, 1S52, there remained in the treasury a
balance of iourtcen million six hundred and
thirty-two thousand one hundred and thirty-six-dollars.
The public revenuefor the fis-
cal year ending June 30, 1S53, amounted to
fifty-eight million nine bundled and thirty-
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five
dollars from customs, and to two million four
huudred and five thousand seven Inmdred and
eight dollais fiom publicjands and other mis-
cellaneous sources, amounting together to
sixty-one "million ...three- hundred and thirty-
seven thousand live hundred and seventy-four
dollars : irlfile the public expenditures for the
same period, exclusive of payments on ac-
count of the public debt, amounted to forty-
three million five hundred and fifty-four thou-
sand two hundred and sixty-two dollars ;

gross receipts during the same period, nve
million nine hundred and forty-two thousand
seven hundred and thirty-four dollars ; show-
ing that the cunent revenue failed to meet
the current expenses of the department by
the sum of two million forty-two thousand and
thiity-two dollars. The causes which, under
the present postal system and laws, led inevi-
tably to this result, are fully explained'by the
report of the Postmaster General ; one great
cause being the enormous rates the depart-
ment has been compelled to paykfor mail ser-
vice rendered by railroad companies.
The exhibit in the report of the Postmaster
General of the income and expenditures by
mail steamers will be found particularly inter-
esting, and of a character to demand the
immediate action of Congress.
Numerous and flagrant frauds upon the
Pension Bureau have been brought to light
within the last year, and, in some instances,
merited punishments inflicted ; but, unfortu
nately, in others guilty pai ties have escaped,
not through the want of sufficient evidence to.
warrant a conviction, but in consequence of
the provisions Of limitation in the existing
laws.
From the nature of these claims, Uj re-
moteness of the tribunals to pass upon them,
and the mode in which the proof is, of neces-
sity, furnished temptations to ctiino have
been greatly stimulated by the ob-.iou-; diffi-
culties of detection. The defects in the law
upon this subject arc so apparent, and so
fatal to the ends of justice, that your early
action relating to it is most desirable.

believed to be within the intent and meaning
of the constitution, that the power to dispose
ot the public domain, should be used other-
wise than might be expected from a prudent
proprietor, and, therefore, that grants to aid
in the construction of roads should be restric-
ted to cases, where it would be for the inter-
est of a proprietor, under like circumstances,
thus to contribute to the construction of these
works. For the practical operation ofksuch
grants thus far, in advancing the interests of
the States in which the works are located, and
at the same time the substantial interests of
all the other States, by enhancing the value
and promotingthe rapid sale of the, public
domain, I refer yon to the report of theSec-
retary of the Interior. A careful examina-
tion, however, will show that this experience
is the result of a just discrimination, and
will be far from affording encouragement
tp a reckless or indiscriminate extenesion of
the principle.
