The condition of oar foreign affairs it reasonably satisfactory. Mexico continues to be a theatre of oivil wpr. While our. political relations jith that country have undergone no change* we have at the same time strictly maintained neutrality between the belligerents. At the request of the States of Costa Rica and Nicaragua; a competent engineer has been authorized to make a survey of the river San Juan and the port or San Juan. It is a source of much satisfaction that the difficulties, which for a moment excited some political apprehension and caused a closing of the inter-oceanic transit route have been amicably adjusted, and that there is a good prospect that the route will soon be re opened with an increase of capacity and adaptation. We could not exaggerate either the commercial or the political importance of that great improVecfiefft. It would be do- I ing injustice to an impirtant'South Amer-1 ican State not to acknowledge the dircct! ness, frankness and cordiality with which | the United States of OoIohibiaHiave entered into intimato relation with this .

Deduot from these amounts the amount of the prineipal of the public debt redeemed, and the amount of issues in substitution therefor, and the actual oash - operations of the Treasury were : Receipts, 84,975,646 77 ; disbursements, $865,234,087 76; which leaves a cash balance in the Treasury of $18,842,- 558 71. Qf tbe receipts there were derived from customs, $102,316,152 99; from lands, $588,933 29; from direet taxes, $475,648 96; from internal revenue, $109,741,184 10; fVom miscellaneous sources, $47,511,448; and from loans applied to aotual expenditures, Including former balance, $623,433,929 13. There were disbursed for tbe civil service $27,- 505,599 46; for pensions and Indians, $7,- 417,930 97; for the War Department, $60,791,842 07 ; for the Navy Department, $85,733,292 79 ; for interest of the public debt, $53,685,421 69, making an aggregate on $865,234,081 86, and leiving a balance in the Treasury of $18,842,- 558 71 as beford stated. ment, and of the naval service. Tt is * subject of congratulation and laudable pride to our countrymen, that a Nayy of suoh vast proportions has been organized ift so brief a period, and conducted with so much efficiency and success. The general exhibit of the Navy, including vessels under construction on the 1st ' of Dec., 1864, shows a total of 671 vessels, carrying 4,610 guns and 310,396 tuns, being an actual increase during tbe year over and above all losses by shipwreck or in battle of 83 vessels, 167 guns, and 42,427 tuns. The total number of men at this time in the Naval service, including offii cers, is about 51,000. There have been oaptured by the Navy during the year 324 vessels, and the whole number of Naval captures since hostilities commenced is 1,- 379, of which 267 are steamers. The gross prooeeds arising from the sale of condemn-i ed prize property thus far reported, amount to $14,396,250 51. A large amount of such proceeds is stll) under adjudication, and vet to be reported, The total expenditure of tbe Navy Department of etfery description, including the oost of the immense squadrons that have been called into existence from the 4th of March, 1861, to the 1st of November, 1864, are $238,647,262 35. Your favorable consideration is invited to the various recommendations of the Secretary of the Navy especially in regard to a Navy-Yard and suitable establishment for the construction and repair of iron vessels and the machinery and armature for our ships, to whioh reference was made in my last annual mes. sage. Your attention is also invited to the views expressed in the report in relation to tbe Legislation of Congress at its last session in respect to prizes on our inland waters. I cordially concur in the recommendation of tbe Secretary as»to the propriety of creating the new rank of Vice-Admiral in QUr Naval service. Your attention is invitedl to the report of tbe Postmaster-General for a detailed aooount of the operations aiiidt financial condition of the post-Office De, partment. The postal revenues for the year  June 30,1864, amounted to $12,4$$D253- 7iS, and the expenditures to  20; tbe excess of expenditures overfeceipta being $206,652 42. The views presented by the P(&imast«r» General on the subjeot of spepial grants by the Government in aid of the establishment of new lines of ooean mail steamships, and the policy he recommends for the develops* ment of increased commercial intercourse with adjacent and neighboring countries, should receive the careful consideration of Congress. ' It is of noteworthy interest that th» steady expansion of population, improvement and governmental institutions over the new and unoccupied portions of oar country have scarcely been checked, much less impeded or destroyed by our great cijr-, il war, which, at first glance, would seem to have absorbed almost the entire energies of tbe nation.

If Congress should think that proceedings in such oases lack the authority of taw, or ought to be further regulated by it, I recommend that provision be made for effeotually preventing foreign slave-traders from acquiring domicile and fucilities for their criminal occupation in our country. It is possible that if this were a new and open question, the maritime powers with the light they now enjoy, would not concede the privileges of a naval belligerent to the insurgents of the United States, destitute as they are and always bave been, equally of ships and of ports and harbors. Disloyal emissaries have been neither less assiduous nor more successful during tW year than they were before that turn fn their efforts under favor of that privilege to embroil our country in foreign wars. The desire and determination of the maritime states to defeat that design are believed to be as sincere as, and cannot be more earnest than our own. For the actual receipts and diebn reorients for the first quarter and the tfetimated receipts and " disbursements for the three remaining quarters of the current fiscal year, and the general operations of the Treasury in detail, I refer you to the report of the Secretary of the Treasury. I concur with him in the opinion that the proportion of the moneys required to meet the expenses consequent upon the war, derived from taxation, should be still further increased ; and I earnestly invite your attention to this subject, to the end, that there may be such additional legislation as shall be required to meet the just expectations of the Secretary. The public debt oh the first day of July last, as appears by the books of the Treasury, amounted to $1,740,090,480 49. Probably, should the war continue for another year, that amount may be increased by not far from five hnndred millions. Held as it is for the most part by our own people, it has become a substantial branch of national though private property. For obvious reasons the more nearly this property can bp distributed among all tho people the better. To favor such general distribution greater inducements to become owners might perhaps with goad effect and without injury be presented to persons of limited means. With this view I suggest whether it might not be both expedient and competent for Congress to provide that a limited amount of tome future issue of public securities might be .held by any bona fide purchaser exempt from taxation and from seizure for debt, Under such restrictions and limitation as might be necessary toguard against abuse of so important a privilege. This Would enable prudent persons to set aside a small annuity against a possible day of want.

The condition of the Border jvill necessarily oomc into consideration in connection with the continuing or modifying the rights of transit from Canada through the United States, as weft as the regulation of imposts, which were temporarily established by the Reciprocity Treaty of1 the 5th June, 1864. I desire, however, to be understoo1 while making this statement that the Colonial authorities are not deemed to be intentionally unjust or unfriendly toward the United States; but, on the contrary, there is every reason to expect, that with the approval of the Imperial Government, they will take the necessary measures to prevent new incursions across the bortfer.

Pitts ton, July *, Privileges like these would render the possession of such securities to the amount limited moat .desirable to every person of small means, who might be able to sate eooui?h for the purpose. The great advantage of citizens being creditors as well as debtors, with relation to the publio debt, is obvious. Men readily perceive that they cannot be nruch oppressed by a debt which they owe to themselves. The public debt on the 1st day of July last, although somewhat exceeding the estimate of the Secretary of the Treasury made to Congress at the commencement of last session, falls short of the estimate of that made in the succeeding December as to ita probable amount at the beginning of his year, by the sum of $3,995,079 38. This fact exhibits a satisfactory condition and conduct of the operations of the Treasury. The National banking system is proving to be acceptable to capitalists and to the people- On the 23th day of November 584 National Banks had been organized, a considerable number of which were conversions from State bank*. Changes from the Stato system to the National system are rapidly taking place, and it is hoped that Tory soon there will bo in the tJnited States no banks of issue not authorised by Congress, and oo bank note circulation, not secured by the £rovemment. That the Government and the people will derive general benefit from this change in the banking System# of the oountry can hardly be questioned. " The national system will create a'relitfbio and permanent influenoe in support of thenational Credit and protect C«hfe people against losses in the use of paper money. Whether or not arty further Legislation is advisable for the suppression of State Bank Hi will be for Congress to determine; lifcedmsTqaftte cleat that the Treasury cannot %e satisfactorily conducted unless the Government can exercise 6 restraining power over the bank-note circulation of the Country.
