Message of rhc I'resitleiil relative to x Yucatan. To the Senate and Hjusc of Representatives of the United States : I submit, for the consideration or Congress, several communications received at the Department of State fiom 3Tr. Justo Sierra, commissioner or Yucatan, and aUo a communication from the governor of that State, representing the condition of extreme suffering to which their country has been reduced by an insurrection of the Indian within its limits, and asking the aid of the United States. The communications present a case of human suffering and misery which cannot lail to excite the sympathies of all civilized nations. From these and other sources of information, it appears that the Indians of Yucatan are waging a war of extermination against the white race. In this cruel war, they spare neither age nor sex, but put to death indiscriminately, all who fall within their power. The inhabitants, panic-stricken and destitute of arms, are flying before their savage pursuers towards the coast; and their expulsion from their country, or their extermination, would seem to be inevitable, unless they ran obtain assistance from abroad. In ttys condition they have, through, their constituted authorities, implored the aid ot this government to save then from destruction, offering, in case this should be granted, to transfer the "dominion and sovereignty of the Peninsula" to the United States. Similar appeals for aid and protection have been made to "the Spanish and the English governments." Whilst it is not my purpose to recommend the adoption of any measure, with a view to the acquisition of the "dominion and sovereignty" over Yucatan, yet, according to our established policy, we coeld not consent to a transfer of this "dominion and sovereignty," either to Spain, Great Critian, or any other European power. In the langunje of President Monroe, in his Message of December, le'J3, "we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety ." In my annual message ff December 1S43, 1 declared that "near a quarter of a century ago, the principle was distinctly announced l& the world, in the annual message of one of my predecessors, that the 'American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintained, are henceforth not to be considored as subjects for future colonization by any European power." "This principle will apply with greatly increased force, hould any European power attempt to establish any new colony in North America. In the existing circumstances of the world the present is deemed a proper occasion to reiterate aod reaffirm the principle avowed by Mr. Monroe, and to state my cordial concurrence in its wisdom and sound policy. The reassertion of this principle, especially in reference to North America, is at this day but . the promulgation of a policy which no European power should cherish the disposition to resist. Existing rights of every European nation should be respected ; but it is duo alte to our safety and our interests, tiiat the efficient protection of our laws should be extended over our whole territorial limits, and that it should be distinctly announced to the world, as settled policy, that no future European colony or dominion shall with our consent, be plant- ' ed or established on any part of the American continent." f Our own security requires that the established policy thus announced should guide our conduct, and this applies with great force to the peninsula of Yucatan. It is situate in the Gulf of Mexico, on the North American

continent; and from its vicinity to Cuba, to the Capes of Wt 1 . ft? " I 1 I J I .,. . .. I. I .. I. X lonua, to iiew vsneatis, biiu iiiuccu iu uui uoio iuuuiwestern coast, it would be dangerous to our peace and security if it should become a colony of any European nation. We have now authentic information that, if the aid asked from the United States be not granted, such aid will probably be obtained from' some European power, which may hereafter assert a claim to "dominion and aovereignty" over Yucatan. Our existing relations with Yucatan are of a peculiar character, as will be perceived from the note of the Sec retary of State to her commissioner, dated on the 24th of December last ; a copy of which is herewith transmitted. Yucatan has never declared her independence, and we treat her as a Statt of the Mexican republic. For thia reaaoo, we have never officially received her commissioner; but whilst this is the case, we have, to a considerable extent, recognised ber as a neutral in our war with Mex ico. Whilst still considering Yucatan as a portion of Mexico, if we had troops to spare for this purpose, would deem it proper, during the continuance of the war with Mexico, to occupy and hold military possession of lier territory, and to-uelend toe white inhabitants againat the incursions of the Indians, in the same way that we have employed our troops in other Slates of the Mexican republic in our possession, in repelling the attacks of savages upon the intiaoitanis wno nave maiuiainea ineir neutrality in tho war. JJut, unfortunately, we cannot at the present, without serious danger, withdraw our forces from other oortiona of the Mexican territory now in our occupation, and send them to Yucatan. All that can be , done, under existing circumstances, is to employ our naval forces in the Gulf, not required at other points, to afford them relief. Cut it is not to be expected that any adequate protection can thus be afforded, as the operations of sucb naval lorccs must, ot necessity, be confined to tue coast. 1 have considered it proper to communicate the infor- ' mation contained in the accompanying correspondence, and I submit to the wisdom of Congress to adopt such measures as, in their judgement, may be expedient to prevent Yucatan from becoming a colony of any European power, which in no event could be permitted by the United States; and at the same time to rescue the white race from extermination or expulsion from their country. Washisctoj, April 29, 1817. The State or Wisconsin. Gov. Dodge has just issued hia proclamation, declaring that the Constitu tion lately submitted to the people of that territory for adoption, preparatory to their assuming the position cf a Slate of the American Uunion, has been approved by & majority of 10,203 votes out of 22,591 votea cast. A bill for the admission of Wisconsin into the Union aa a State is now pending in Congress, and is to be takeu up next week. As Execution; Thomas Nash, convicted of the murder of a female, two or three years ago, was hung Ä Troy, Montgomery county, N. C. on Friday. The rope by which he was first suspended broke and he fell to the ground. He requested the handkerchief to be removed from hia eyes, which was done, and he sat up and conversed with the bystanders until another rope was procured, and he was then hung. Astor's Wealth. Some confusion has existed in the estimates of the estate of the late John Jacob Astor, from the fact that less than half his property was included in hia will. The amount included in the will did not exceed $7,500,000; but he had conveyed by deed a still larger sum. The whole value of his estate was $16,000,000 or $17,000,000. The Eothchilds. The New York Tribune of ilonday, 6ays : A letter from London alluding to the rumor of the - failure of the Rothschilds, says that they have made some losses, but have still a margin left before bankruptcy. The wealth of all the brothers is estimated at twenty-six millions cf pounds sterling. Two hundred officers, who have served with distinction in the Mexican war, have been nominated to the Senate for brevet appointments. Among them are General Shields, w ho is nominated as Brevet Major General ; and Colonels Harney and Riley as - brevet Brigadier Generals. Extending the Area. The following is from the Galveston News, of the 14th ult: "We understand that a body of 2,000 men are now organizing in Vera Cruz, (Mr. McAlphin and other prominent men being at the head) with the purpose to . cross the continent ana settle in California." Benevolence. Mr. Clapp, of Portland, Me., has left, by will, a fund of eight thousand dollars, for the "education and relief of female orphan children, and four thousand dollars for furnishing fuel to uofortu nate widows and other poor women. A Mr. Tuttlc, of New York, has presented Queen Victoria a pplendid baby-jumper, for the use of the royal nursery. Judging from the past, it will be kept in pretty constant use. A person inquired of Rothschild how he contrived to accumulate so large a fortune. By buying," said he, "when every body was selling, and selling when every body was buying." the markets.

PROSPECTUS FOR 'in it i ,i ii i i ,n in y mi (.mi 1 11 Bit mi iiiiiii u uuuii mui Published at Indianapolis, lud. THE CHEAPEST PAPER IN THE WEST! The undersigned will commence the publication of the 5A volume of their celebrated C00N SKINNER, commencing about the 20th of May, and published till the Presidential election, making 25 numbers pre vious, and one subsequent, the last number of which will contain the full official vote of the United States, and which of itself will be fully worth the subscription price. Their facilities for rapidly publishing a larger edi tion have never equalled the present ; and they confi dently look for a larger circulation than heretofore. The character of the Coonskinner heretofore, is an earnest of what may be expected in' future. No exertion shall be spared to improve its contents, embelished and otherwise. Its aim will be to give a full support to the nominees of the Baltimore Democratic Convention, and in every fair and honorable way, to sustain the cherished principles of the Great Democratic party of the Union. The importance of general and correct information during the coming contest, when a higher than a Kingly office is to be filled by the nnbought votes of a free and mighty people, should be apparent to all. That Truth may be disseminated, and Falsehood and Errordetected and exposed, we shall endeavor to exercise more than ordinary vigilance, bringing to our aid experience and every facility with.n our reach. Nor is our State election in August of less impor tance. Our labors for years past will all be nothing, should we fail new in sustaining those measures which iave bo prospered the State the past five years. Once . . s 1 a 1 . more in tni ioui emorace 01 ieuerai wingjjery, and back we return to our former degraded position as z free, sovereign and independent State ! And as "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," let us all resolve, by upholding and sustaining Democratic doctrines, to continue those measures which none will deny have been so beneficial to us as a State and as citizens. v To this end, the Coon Skinner will also be devoted, not doubting that the Democracy will manfully sustain themselves in the coming contest. Terms. Single copy, 50 Ten copies, 1,50 Twenty copies, $9,00 And all larger numbers in proportion. 07-Cash always in advance. Or Our Agents would save us a very large amount of labor by having some person in their vicini ty who will direct the papers, leaving it to us to en velope them to one address only. In packages of 20, where this is done, we will add numbers enough to make it an object, and so for larger numbers. CHAPMAN'S &. SPANN (yr Will our brother editors please notice

RICHARD M. YOUNG, Commissioner. TO THE PUBLIC. The mineral lands' included in the foregoing proclamation embrace the greater portion ol Keweena Point, and the southern shore ef Lake Superior, in the northern ninnila of Michigan, and are rendered imraeit-ely valuable by the exhaustles mines ot copper and other ore found therein. A considerable number of those mines have already been discovered in the trap ranges bordering on Lake Superior, and within a few mile of it ; snd from Ihe geological charactrr of the country and the eiploratioiia already made, it sannot be doubted that others equally, it not more, valuable will be found throughout this whole "mineral region.' In some of the mines now worked, copper is found almost pure; and in fact, most of t he native copper and ores yield s greater per centagenn any other yet discovered in the world. Silver is altofoir.M ia considerable quantities. All the necessary material for the conatruction of furnace, ans foil for smelting, are found in abundance in the immediate neighb jrh'jod of the mineral and the lace of the country is ucn, that the mines require but little, if any, artificial drainage, and are therefore worked to great advantage. The climate jn the winter, though cold, does not interrupt the operation of the miner: in fact, thai season is considered the most favorable for their operations. The proximity of these mineral lands to the shore ef Lake Superior, o t whl h sre several saie and excellent harbors, and the water communication therefrom by Ih Hanlt Ste. Marie, Lakes Huron, Erie, ftc, furnish ready means of transporting the products of these lands to the principal markets of ths United State at a very trifling cost. It likewise appears from the report to thi office, that the agricultural lands are of a fair quality , producing tbe nsual culinary vegetable snd xras in abundance ; and no doutit, when ths soil Is fairly tilled, it will be found favorable lor grain crop also ; and for all these products fair price and good market will be found at the mines. Timber, such as whits and yellow pine, sagar maple, yellow birch, kr.. Is, in many places, very abundant, and by its thrifty growth, gives evidence of the richness of th soil. Map showing the localities of the mines snd other valuable in formation relating thereto, derived from the geological survey, etc., which cannot he embraced in Ibis brief notice, will t r repared and deposited with th land officer at the tult Ste. Maria, for Inspection, as early as practicable before the commencement of the public sie. RICHARD M YOUNf. oromissiontr of tb Ueasrsl Land OSes. Ap,19.-1.0,tJye-10r
