It is not uuList.iod that the Condi i of tlie insurrection in Cuba has nia :a'!y changed since the c!oo of the : session of Congress. In an early ir.i. ,,f the contest the authorities ot ''I ii ii inaugurated n system of arbitrary crests, of close confinement r.nl of mili ;y trial and execution of persons, sus ; t-.d at complictiy with the insurgents, : a 1 of summary embargo of their prop and a requisition tt their reve i u s by the executive, warrant, such .ro llings as far a- tlcy cfFected the per jms or property of citiz 'tis ol the Lci i. l States, were in violation of the pro-vi-ieus of th.e treaty of l-J., between 'be United Stvtes anl Spain. Kepre l. iita:iens of injuries resulting to sevcra' l;:-;iis claimitiir to be citizens of the ' uite 1 Statts, by reason uf such vioia tions, were made to the Spanish rovcrn "leii: from April. I.V, to .June last. ,'l.e Spanish Minister :t Washington t.a 1 bren clothed with a limited j ower " ! a; 1 iu redressing such wrornis. That t over was lbund to be withdrawn, in i-w. as it wa's said, of the unfavorable '!'.iat;.'in in which the I!a:id of Cuba K". v. hicli, however, did not lead to -lie revocation of the suspension of the raordiuary and aibitra:y functions ex-r-iscd by the executive power in Cuba. ' I we were obliged to make our coui i.nts at Madrid. In the negotiations " us opened and stiil pendinir there, he ' uf'' d States only cliimed that lor the "re the rights secured to their citizens ;. treaty should be respected in Cuba. - that as to tho past a joint tribunal til be established iu the United s with full jurisdiction over all such ins. Belbre stu-li uu impartial tribu-:- eacli claimant would be require- to : .e his case ; on the otheor hand, Spain " i'd be at liberty to traverse every ma al foot, aul thus comfilete equity all be done. A ease which at one time threatened V -""s!y to affect the relations between " ' United States an ISpnin, has already , t:i disposed of in this way. The mil of the Lloyd Aspinwall for the il al seizure and detention of that ves ;b -Xs referred to arbitration by mutual V;isent, and has resulted in award to 'r United States for the owner of the of ? 19.70-' CO in cold. Another ; . j l j ! ' VOI , () and lon pending cl a! in of like nature- that of tic? whale ship Canada has been di.spo.-ed of by fricnlly arbitration. Durinirthe present year it wa.srcferrel bv the j lint e itis ent of Urazil and th-j i'nited States to the decision of Sir Kd wnrd Thorton, her Britanic Maiesty's Minis.ter at Washington, who kin Uy un dertook the laborious task of examining the voluminous mass of correspondence and teiiniony submitted by the two government.--, and awarded to the Uni ted States the sum of one hundred thousand peven hundred dollars and nine cents, irold, which has since been paid by the Imperial ( ioverrnnent. These recent examples show that the mole which tin I Tinted States have proposed to Spain for adjusting the pending claims is just and feasible, and that it may be agreed to by either nation without dishonor. Itis to be hope 1 tint this moderate demand may lo aaceJed to by Spain without further delay. "Should the pending neirotiotions unfortunately and une'i-ctedly be without result, it will then become my duty to communi cate that fact to Congress, nn 1 its action on the subject. The long deferred peace conference between Snain mid tha alliel South Anieriean republics has been in i-iL'urate l in Wa-hineton un ler the ausj)ices of the I'nited States. Pursuant to the recom mendation contained in the resolution s of the Houe of Ueprcsentativci of the 17th of December, ISGo, the executive depart ment of tho povernmeut offerel its friendly offices for the i.o:notion of pea -e and harmony between Spain andths al lied republic . I IeMtation? and obstacles accrued to the acceptance oftheolFer. Ultimately, however, a conference wa arrangdl and ojienej iu this city on the l"..'t!i of October last, at wlii.-h I author ized the Secretary of the State to pre side. It w is attended by tin Minister! of Spain, l'eru. Colli au 1 Keualor. In consequence of tl i; ao-ence or a re pre - sentttiv.; from o!i via. tiie confei-euce was alj oar:i3 I until tho attend :nee of the i plenipotentiary from that republic could be secured, or other measures couM !e adopte 1 towards comparing its object. The allied and other republics of Spa:i-i.-h orein on this continent may see in this I'-ir-t a new proof of our sincere inter est in tiieir veMare, ot our Uesne to see them blessed with l'oo J jrovemmont ca pable of ln iintaining or ler and preserv-iii-' their resoectiv.; territoriil integrity, and our sin vr wish to cxten lour own eoinniereial anl social legations with them Tin time is not probably far distant wlicn, in the natural course of events, the Kuropeati political connec tion with this eoatinout will cease.

Paring the last session of Conrress a treaty for the annexation of the ll-pub-lie of S in Domingo to the United States failed to receive the reouiiite two-thirds vote of the Senate. I was thorou chly convinced then thut the be-t intere-t of the country commercially and luiteri.tliy demanded its raMlieiitiou. Time hison'y con'irmcd me in this. In t!ie bay of Ca:ni.ii a large coia.ner.ial city will spring up. to which we will be tributary without recetvirigcon-esi'On ling benefits The n .rthern folly, if our rejection so a::roe 1, the government of San Djinino has voluntary sought this annextion. It is a weak Power, lriu.bering probably less than one huulrel and twenty thou- s i!i 1 souls, and vet p i.-scssiiur one ot the i p i.-.scs.-:ng one or tn mlcrtlie sun, cajiabl neliest localities un of maintaining thmisclves m tueir pros cut condition, and mu-t 1 ok for outside sit pport Tliev v.arn f r tli.; protection f our fiee institutions and laws, our progress and civilization. Mia. I Wj re Ills Do r th cm ; The a-rq-iisi-ion o: ban geo aiingo is dc-irable because of its graphical portion. It couiuiinii en trance to the ('arrib.in sea anl the Isthtiins travs'it of cocriicree. It j-ji-ses-C5 the richest soil, tho best and mo-t capacious harbors, most salubrious cli mate, anl the most valuable pro bids of i he ibrost, iLiiues anl soil of the West India I -dan Is. Its posses.-iou by the Uuited States will in a lev,-years build up a coastwise c.nntujice d' ini mense marnitu le, which wii! go far to wards re-toritu' to us our l.ist merchant an 1 mariu- It T.I1 gi.e to us tlioe ;:r ti.'lcs which we consuine greatly, and do not jrodee. llinsj equalizing our exports and iuinorts in cae of lbrcign w.r. It will giv ;: us comrnan 1 of ad the lsiiu ls referred to, and thus prevent an enemy Iron ag-iln p ?se. -sing himself of a ren tlezvoas upon our coa.t. At proent e.ur coast trade between the States bor dering on the i.i'.f of Mexico is by the 15 dramas and the Antilles, twice wh it it formerly was. We must, as it were, pass through foreign countries to i:et by t leorgia to tho eat coast of lYori ia. San Domingo, with a stable government, u:i 1 -r which her immense resources can be developed, will give remunerative wages to ten thousanl laborers not now upon tho Island. This labor will take ad vantage of every available means of trans portation to abandon the adjacent Islands and seek the blessing of its freedom and its sequence, each inhabitant receiving the reward of kis own labor. Porto Ilica an l Cuba will have to abolish slavery as a measure of telf-prcservation to retain their laborers. ta;i Domingo wnl te cniie a large consumer of the products of northern farms and tuanu factories. The cheap rate at which her citizem can be furnished with food, tools and ma chinery, will make it necessary that eon tigious Islands should have the same advantages in order to compete with th? production of sugar, eolfee. tobacco and tropical fruits. This will open to us a wider market to our products. The production of our suppty of these arti cles will cut off more than one hundred millions of our annual import?, besides largly increasing our exports. With such a picture it is easy to sec how our large debt abroad is ultimately to be extinguished. With a ballanee of trale against us, including interest of bonds held by foreigners and money shipment, our citizens traveling in foreign lands, equal to the entire yield ofproceious metals in this country, it is not easy to see how this result is to be otherwise accomplish ed. The acquisition of San Domingo, as an adhesion to the Monroa doctrine, isa measure of national protection ; it is as serting our just claim to a controlling influence over the great commercial traffic soon to flow from west to east, by way of tho Isthmus of Darien; it is to build up our merchant marine ; it is to furnish new markets for the products of our farms, shops and manufactories ; it is to make slavery unsupportable in Cu ba and I'orto Ilico at once, and ultimately so in Brazil ; it is to settle the unhappy condition of Cuba, and end the exter minating conflict ; it is to provide hon est means for paying our honest debts without overtasins th people ; it is to j EBRASKA PLATTSMOUTII, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, DECEMBERS, LS70 famish our citizens with the necessaries of every day life at cheaper rates than ever before, and it is, in fine, a rapid stride towards that greatness which the intelligence, inlu'stry anl enterprise of citizens of tli2 United State entitled this country to assume among nations. In view of the importance ofthisques tiou, I earnestly urge upon Congress early action expros.siye of its views as to the best means of acquiring San Domingo My suggestion is that, by joint resolu tion of the two Houses of Congress, the Executive bo authorized to appoint a commission to negotiate for a treaty with the authorities of San Domingo for the acquisition of that island; that an appro priation be made to defray the expenses of sueh commission. The question may then be determined by the action of the two Houses of Congress upon a resolu tion of auexHtion, as in the case of the acquisition of Texas. So ennvinced am I of all the advantages to flow from the acquisition of San D aiingo and of the great disadvantages, I might almost say calamities, to flow from non-acquisition that I believe the subject has only to be investigated to be approved. It is to be regretted that out- repre sentations in regard to t Ii 3 injurious cf iects, especially upon the revenue of the United States, of the policy of the Mexi can government, in eq-?mptiii from im port duties a large tract of its tenitorj-' on our borders, have not only been fruit less, but that it is even proposed in that country to extend tlie limits within which the privilege adverted to has hitherto been enjoyed. The expediency of looking into and giviug your serious tond l. ration to I roier ueans for countervailing. The policy referred, it is presumed, will engage your earnest attention. It is tho obvious hit-are t csp?:!!!; of n :ig'i- boring nations, to provide again-t injury to thos-e w ho may have couiaiittel huh crimrs within their borders, and who may have sought refuge abroad. For this purpose extradition treaties have bnen couelu led with several of the Cen tral Amcricm republics, anl others are in progress. The sense of Congress is desired as a? early as may be convenient upon the proceedings of the commission on claims ng.iiost Venezuela as commit ted in nie-sages of March -J, sf.'., March 1, 1ST'), and .March -l, 1S70. It has not been deemed advis;ib!o to distri bute any of the money which has been received from that Government until Congress shall have acted upon the .sub ject : The mas.a?i:s of Trench and ltu? sian residents at Ti ntien, i.e. ler circum stances of great barbarily, were :-u;.pos- e l bv so:u ? to have been pro::;? l''taU' and to indicate a jnirpo.se :i.ji ong the populace to exterminate f i.-eiguers in the Chinese Umpire. The evi lencc fails to establish such a supposition, but ho.vs a compli -ity by the local authori ties and the mob. The (overnnient at l'ekin, however, seems to h ive been dis posed to fulfill its treaty obligations so tar as it was able to do so. Unfortu nately the news of the war botveen the German Statesand I Yance reached China soon after the massacre. It would ap jiear that the jiopu'.ar mind b--e.uu a jlo scssed with the i lea that this content, extending, to Chbic-e w, iters, would neu tralize the christian infl j 'iicc and power, end that the tim3 was comingwheii tlie su perstitious mass might expel all foreign ers an l restore man larin influence An ticipating troable fro i a the cause, I in vited Franc; and North Germany to make an .viOiorizel sir-pension of hosti lities in the lvi-t, where they were tem jiorarily susjicu led by act of trie corn man Lvs, to act together for the future promotion in China, of lives ani lroqenty ot Americans an l JiUiopcans . ... ii. Since the adjournal- nto: Longress, tnc ratifications of a treaty witli Great Lri tain for abolishing the mixed courts for the supjiression v i'th e s! ive trale tiave been exchanged. It is believed that the slave trade in now confined to the eas tern co-t of Africa, whence the slaves are taken to Arabian markets. The ratifi".i tions of the naturalization : .e;vention bo tween Great Britain anl the Unite! States have also been exchanged d ;-iag the recess, a:id thus a long .-tm ling dis pute between the two Governments h is been settled in accordance with th" ju-iu ciples always coat en led fir by the United States. In April last, while engaged in locating a military reservation near Bern bina. a corps of engineers discovered tli :t the commonly received boundary between the United States an the Bri t. sh Possessions at that jibice i.s about fifty seven huo.lred feet south of the true position of the tenth parallel, and that the line, when run on what is now supposed to if the Uue position of that jiarallel. would leave the fortni'tbe liai son Bay Company at Pembina within the territory of the United States. This in formation being communicated to the British government, I was reo.uested to consent, and did consent, that British occupation of the fort of the Un ison i. .i i ii . i liay v ouipanv snoum continue ior uis present. I deem it important, however. that tliis part of the boun lary lines should bo definitely fixed by a joint com mission of the government, and submit herewith estimates of the expense of such a commission on the part of the United States, and recommend an ap porpriation for that jmrpose. The land boundary is already marked from the 5ummit of the Iloeky Mountains to the Georgia Bay. It should now-be in like manner marked from the Lake of the Woods to the Kooky Mountains. I regret to say noconclusion has been reached tor tlie adjustment of claims against Great Britain, growing out of the course adopted ty that government dur ing the rebellion. The Cabinet of Lon don, so far as its views hive been ex-prc.-sed, does not appear to be willing to concede that her Majesty's government was guiitv of negligence or did, or per mitted any act, during the war, by which the United States hasjust cause of com plaint. Our firm and unalterable con victions aredirectlv the reverse. I there fore recommend to Congress to authorize the ajijiointment of a commission to take proof of the amounts, and the ownership and their claims, on notice to the repre sentative of her majesty at Washington, and that authority be given f.r the -et: tlement of these claims by the United States, so that the government shall have the ownership of private claim? as well as the responsible control, of all demands against Grea- B.itain. It cannot be ne cessary to add that whenever Her Ma jesty's government shall entertain a de sire for a fall and friendly ajustment of these claims, the United States will en ter upon their consideration with an earn est desire for a conclusion consistent with the honor and dignity of both nations. The course pursued by the Canadian authorities toward the fishermen of the Uuited States during the past reason has not been marked by a friendly feel injr. By the first article of the Conven tion of 1 si 1 S. between Great Britain and the United States, it was agreed that the inhabitants of the United States should Lave forever in common with 1-.- , . . , . . .. , iziii .Jntteu subjects, the right of taking fish be iD certain waters therein discribed. In the waters not included in the limits 1 but satisfactory statrinent of the Cana namedinthe Convention within three dian frontier. Since Mr. Clay advanced miles of parts of the British coasts, it his argument in behalf of our right, the has been the custom many years to give principle for which he contenlc l has iiurulmg fishermen of the United States a reasonable warning of the violation of the technical righ-.s of Great Britain. The Imperial Government is understood to have delegated the whole or a share of its jurisdiction or control of these in shore fishery ground to the colonial au thrity, known as the D ominon of Canada, and this semi-indipendent but irre sonsible agent has exercised the delegat ed powers in an unfriendly way, Ves sls have been siezed without notice or warning, in violation of the custom pre vailing, and have been takon into the c olon'ml ports, their voyages broken up and tho vessels condemned, There is reason to believe that this unfriendly and vexatious treatment was designed to bear heavy on tha hardy fishermen of the Unite i States with a view of polit ical effect upon this Government. Tlie statutes of the Dominion of Canada as sume a still broader and more untenable jurisdiction over the vessels of the Uni ted States Tliev authorize officers or persons to bring vessels hovering within three marine miles f any of the coasts, baya, creeks, or harbors of Canada., into lort, to search the cargo, to examine the master, o.i oath, touching the cargo and voyage, and to indict upon him a tie ivy jieeumary penalty it true answers are not given, an 1 if such a vessel is found preparing to fish within three marine miles of any of such eo:i:-ts, bays, creeks, or harbors without a license, or after t he exjiirutiou of the period named in the license granted to it, they povi lo that the vessel, with her tackle, , ivc. shall be forfeited. It is not known that any condemnations have been mi le u:ilcr this statute. Should ehi authorities of Canada attempt to inforce ir, it will become my duty to take such steps as may bo necessary to protect the rights of tlie citizens of the Uuited States. It had been claimed by her Majesty's officers that th? fishing vessels of tho United States have no right to enter the opn jiorts of tlie British jossessions in North America exeejit for the purpose of shelter and re liiring damages, of purchasing wood and obtaining water; that they have no right to enter at the British custom houses or to trade, except the purchase of wood and water, and that they muat dcjiart within twenty-four hours after notice to leave. It is not known that any scisure of a fishing vessel carrying the flag of the United S'atcs has be;n male un ler this claim. So fir e l on (ho Convention as the i in found- illeged con-tructirin of the of ll,-b it cannot be acouies- eed in by the United States. It is h eped that it will not be in-i-ted on by her Majestic's Government. During the conference which precedr-.d tho negotia tion of t he convention of 1 SLS the Brltis'i Conimissioners proposed to expres-!y exe'ude the fisliorm en of tho Unite.'. S.a tes from the priviledge of cariying trade with any of her B-ittanie Majesty's so.b ji!ct.s re-i ling within the limits assigned for their use, and al.-o that it should not be lawful for the voxels of tho United States, engaged in sueh fishery to have on board any goods, wares, or merchan dise whatever, except su eh as may be necessary for the pro-icution of their voy ages to an l trom sael listiing gro in is; au 1 a vessel the I'nited States which shall contravene this regulation may be seized, condemned, and confis cated with her cargo. This proposition, which is identical with the construction now put upon the language, of the Con vention, vas emphatically rejected by the American coinuiis-ioner, an I there upon was abandoned by the British jle nipotentiaries, anl article I, as it stands in the convention was substituted. IT, howaver, it be sai I th it this, claim is loan led on Provincial or Colonial sta tutes, and not upon the Convention, this Government cannot but regard them as unfriendly and in contravention of she spirit, if not of theleter, of the treaty, for the faithiul execution of which the Imperial Government is alone respoiisi Lie. Anticipating that an attempt may po-j sibly be made by the Canadian authori ties in the coming season to repeat their unueighborly acts toward our fishermen. I recommend you to confer upon the Executive the jiower to suspend by pro clamatiou the operation of the laws au thorizing the tran-it of goods, wares an 1 merchandize in bond across the territory of the United States to Canada: and further, should su -h a?i exireme measure become necessary, to su pen the opera tion of any 1-iws whereby the vessels of the Dominion of Canada was jerni;ited to enter the waters of the Unite I States A like unfriendly disposition has been manifested on the part ol' Canada in the maintenance of a claim of right to exjlude the citizens of the Unite Statee from navigation of tha St. Lawrence. This river constitutes a n atural outlet to the ocean for States with an aggregate popu lation of 27. GiKUk);) inhabitants nnl with an aggrigate tonnage of f("il,357, tons upon the waters which discharge into it. The foreign commerce of which ports on the.-e waters is open to British cotnperi tiou and the major part of it is done in British bottoms. If the American sea men be excluded from this natural avenue to the ocean, the monopoly of the direct commerce of the hike ports with the Atlantic would be iu foreign hands, their vessels on the trans Atlantic voya ges having an access to our lake ports, which woull be denied to American ves sels on similar voyages. To tate such a proposition is to refute its justice. Dur inirthe a liuuiistraiion of John Quiney Adams, Mr. ('lay un piestionaly demon strated th natural right of the citizens of the United States to the navigation of this river, claiming that the a"t of Congress of Vienna in opening the Bhine and other rivers to all nations, sh owe I the judgement of Kuroi ean jurists and statesmen, that the inhabitants of a country through which a navigable river passes have a natural right to enjoy the navigation of that river to anl into th sea, evcu though passiug through the territory of another power. This right does not exclude them amounting, in the agrigate, to 1 3..0J0 tons.

In lVoS, B ilivia, by treaty, declare I it regarded the rivers Ainaz n and LaUiata, in accordance with fixed principles of national law, as highways or channels opened by nature for the! commerce of all nations.

The greatest living Br ti-h au thority on this subject, while assert ;ng the abstract right of the British claims. says it see.us difficult to deny that Great Britain may ground her refin I upon tilt to strict lav.-, but it is cr;uiliy diili deny, nrst, tnat in so uomc su3 -exercises harshly an extreme an 1 hard law; second ly. thither conluct with respect to the navigation ot the St.- Lawraonee. is in glaring and discreditable inr-on-i-toney with her con loet with req?et to the n i vigatiou of tho Mis.d-sippi, on the grounl that she posessed a small domain in which the Mississippi took its rise. She insisted on this right to navigate the entire volume of its water. On the ground that she jio,jesed both batiks of the St U awrance, where it di.?mbogue itself into the Sea. sir? denies fo the United States th; right to navigition though about one half the waters of lakes Ontario. Uric, Huron nnl Super ior, an 1 the whale of Lake Michigan, through which the river flows, are the pronertv of the United Stntes. The wiio!e nation securing cheat) is lntcrcstO'l transportation frem the agricultural States of the West to the Atlantic seaboard; to the cifi".ens of ! th - sjtates it secures greater return 'or their 1 ibor ; to the inhabitants of the sea board it otTers cheaper food; and to the nation an increase in the annual s irplus of wealth. It is hoped the Governun i;t of Great Britain will see th ; justice of al in lorriig the narrow anl in.-ousistt nt claim to which her Canadian province; have urged her adherence. Our depressed commerce is a subject to which I called your attention at the last session, and suggested that we will, in the future, have to look more to the countries south of us, and to China and Japan, for its revival. Our Represent atives to till these Govern neiits have exerted their influence to encourage trade between the United States and the countries to which they arc accredit ed, but the fact exists that the carrying is dono almost entirely in foreign vessels; and while this stele of affairs exists we cannot control our due share of th e com merce of the world. That between tin? Pacific States an 1 China an l Japan is about all the carrying trade now eon duct ed in Ain -rieau vessels. I woull r coal men 1 n liberal policy toward that line of American steam-, rs, anl one that will in-ure its sac js-., an 1 even increased usefulness. The co-'t of building iron vessels, the only ones that cm compete with foreign sh: e in the curving trade, is so much greater in the United States than in foreign countriev that wi bout Some assistance from the pvorinn-enf thev cannot be built here. There will be several nropositioiis laid ueiore Cod - gress in the course of th e present se-,--ioii looking to a remedy for this evil, even il it should be at some co-t to the national i treasury.
