Miss Stone is probably a little under middle »:ze, dresses very plainly, (excepting the bloomer) is very fluent, has a low but sweet voice, is very moderate in gesture, though graceful In what she uses. Site is rather captivating as a speaker, and will probably on any occasion enlist the attentiou of an audience.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. FelfouhC ttfcen* of the Senate and of the House of Representatives

The interest with which the people of the Republic anticipate the assembling of Congress, and the fulfilment, on that occasion, of the duty injpti ed upon a new President, is one of the best evi dences of their capacity to realize the hnpes-of the founders of a political system. at once complex and symmetrical While the different branches ot the gov eminent are, a certain extent, independent of each other, the duties of all. alixe, have direct reference to the sources of power. Fortunately, under this system, no man is so high, and none so humble, in the scale of public station, as IO escape from the scrutiny, or to be exempt from the responsibility, which all official functions imply.

Upon the justice and intelligence of the masses, in* a government thus organized, is the solo reliance of the confed eracy, and the only security fur honest and earnest devotion to the interests, ngainst ihe usurpations and encroach

other. The interest, of which 1 have spoken. is inseperable from an inquiring, selfgoverning community, but stimulated. doubtless, at the prese.ns lime, by the

ligations relating from sudden extension of the field of enterprise by the spirit with which that field has been entered. nnd the amazing energy with which its resources for meeting the demands of humanity have been developed

Although disease, assuming at one time the characteristics of a wide-sprend and devastating pestilence, has left its sad traces upon soniu portions of our country, we have still tho most abundant cause for reverent thankfulness to God for an accumulation of signal mer cies showered upon us as a nation. It is well tiitit a consciousness of rapid advancement and increasing strength be habitually associated with an nbiding sense of dependence upon llirn who holds in his hands the destiny of men and of nations.

Recognising the wisdom of the brood principle of nbsolute religious toleration proclaimed in our fundamental law. and rejoicing in 'hu benign influence which it has exerted upon our social and politico I condition, 1 should shrink from a clear duty, did I fail to express my deepest conviction, that we can place no

It is in many respccts desirable that ihe boundary iin« between the united Slates and the British provinces in the northwest, as designated in the convention of the tSth June, 1846, and espec ially that part, which separates the ter ritory of Washington fm.n the British poitsession.^ un the north, should be turned and marked. 1 therefore present ihe subject to your notice.

With Fiance our relations continue on the most friendly f*»oting. The extensive commerce between the United States and that country might, it is conceived, be released from some unnecessary restrictions, to the mu oal advantage (4 both parties. With a view iq this ob ject, some prx»gnrss ha« been made in ne gouating a treaty of commerce and navigation.

Independently of our valuable trade with Spain, we have important political relations with her, growing out of our neighborhood to the island* of Cube and Porto Rico. I ha =y announce, that since the *^~t Conn*2S no attempts have been ma-t by unauthorized expe ditions within the United States, against either of these colonies.

For 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 believed to rest on the obligations imposed by our existing treaty with that country. Its justice was admitted, tn our diplomatic correspondence with tho Spanish government, as early ns March. 1847 and one of my predecessors, in his annual message that year, recommended that provision should be rmde for its payment. In January last it was ngain submitted to Congress by the Executive. It has received a favorable consideration by committees of both branches, but as yet rhere has been rio fnia! action upon it. I conceive that good faith re'iiiirns its prompt adjustment and I present it to your early and favorable consideration.

Martin Koszta, a Hungarian by birth, came to this country in 1850. and declared his intention, in due form of law, to become a citizen of the United Stales. After remaining here nearly two years, he visited Turkey. While at Smyrna, he was forcibly seized, taken on board

Considering the proximity of that island to our shores—lying, as it does, in the track of trade between some of our principal cities,—and the suspicious this government is not concluded jitere vigilance with which foreign Intercourse, particularly that with the United States, is there guarded, a repetition of such occurrences may well beflbpprehended. As no diplomatic intercotme is allowed between our consul at Havana and the Captain General of Cuba, ready exp!a~ nations cannot be made, or prompt redress afforded, where injury has resulted. All complaint on the part of our citizens, under the present arrangement, must be, in the first place, presented to this government, and then referred to Spain. Spain again refers it to her local authorities in Cuta for investigation, and postpones an answer till she has heard from those authorities. To avoid the«e irritating and vexatious delays, a proposition has been made to provide for a direct appeal for redress to the Captain General by our consul, in behalf of our injured fellow citizens.— Hiihe/to, tho government of Spain has declined to enter into any such arrange

ing between the two countries may be vail among them, and in establishing I ....! .M ..ill 11 .«« «, ii nne exposed to occasional interruption. Our minister at Madrid is instructed to renew the proposition, and to press it again upon the consideration of her Catholic Majesty's government.

For a more full account of this transaction and my views in regard to it. I refer to the correspondence between the charge d'affaires of Austria nnd the Secretary ofSiate, which is herewith transmitted. Tho principles and policy, therein maintained on the part of the UStates, wili, whenever a proper occasion ocrurs, be applied and enforced.

The condition of China, at this time, renders it probable that some important changes will occur in that vast empire, which will lead to a more unrestricted intercourse with it. 1 he commissioner to that country, who has been recently appointed, is instructed to avail himself ot all occasions to open and extend our commercial relations, not only with the empire of China, but with other Asiatic nations.

In 1852. an expedition was sent to Japan, under the command of Com modore Perry, for tho purpose of opening commercial intercourse with that island. Intelligence hvs been received of his arrival there, and of his having made known to tho Emperor of Japan the object of his visit but it is not yet ascertained how far the Emperor wilt be disposed to abandon bis restrictive policy and open that populous country to a commercial intercourse with the United States.

It has been my earnest desire to maintain friendly intercourse with the governments upon this continent, and to aid them in preserving good understanding among tnemselvea. With Mexico, a dispete has arisen-as to the true bo-tndsrv line between war tem'io-

veyor appointed on the part of the United States, whose concurrence was necessary to give validity to that decision.

by but that of Mexico takes a different view of the subject. There aie also other questions of considerable magnitude pending between the two republics. Our minister in Mexico has ample instructions to adjust them. Negotiations have been opened, but sufficient progress has not been tnade therein to enable me to speak of the probable result. Impressed with tho importance of maintaining amicable relations with that republic, and of yielding with liberality to all her just claims, it is reasonable to expect that an arrangement mutually satisfactory to both countries may be concluded, and a lasting friendship Iwtween them confirmed and perpetuated.

Congress having provided for" a full mission to the State of Central America, a minister was sent thither in July last. As yet he has had time to visit only one of these states, (Nicaragua,) whsre he was received in the most friendly man» ner. It is hoped that his presence and good offices will have a benign effect in composing the dissensions which pre-

siill more intimate and friendly relations between them respectively, nnd betw^ji each of them and the United Stales..4

Considering the vast regions of this continent, and the number of slates which would be made arcessible by the free navigation of the river Amazon, par ticijlar attention has been given to ibis subject. Brazil, through whose territories it posses into iho ocean, hashvherto persisted in a policy so restrictive, in regard to the use of this river, as to obstruct, and nearly exclude, foreign commercial intercourse with the states which lie upon its tributaries nnd upper branches. Our minister to that country is instructed to obtain a relaxation that policy, nnd to u»e his efforts to induce the Brazilian government to open to common use, under proper safeguards, this great natural highway for international trade. Several of tho South American slates are deeply interested in this auempt to secure the free navigation of ihe Amazon, and it is reasonable to expect their co-operation in the measure.

views are generally entertained as to the common rights of all to ihe free use of those means which nature has provided for international communication. To ihe.^e more liberal and enlightened views, ii is honed lhat Brazil will conform her policy, and remove all unnecssary restrictions upon the free use of river, which travelses so many states and so large a part of the continent.— I am happy to inform you that the republic of Paraguay and ihe Argentine Confederation have ieided io tho liberal policy still resisted by Brazil, in regard to the navigable rivers within their respective, territories. ..Treaties embracing this subject among others have been negotiated with these governmenis.whieh will be submitted to the Senate at the present session.

TO DRIVE AWAY RATS. A friend has just informed us of a plan he adopted to get rid of rats. His pre* mises swarmed with them. Ho look a small fish hook, atinched io a fine wire, and suspended on it a piece of chccse, letting it hang about a foot from the ground. One of the rats leaped at it and was hooked, and sat up such a horrible squeal, noise and ratile that all the rest foisook him and fled. Not rut remained on the premises. A few days afterwards his neighbor declared that he was visited with a plague worse than those of Egypt,—that the rats would surely eat him up, house and all. Our friend enjoyed the joke, but kept shady. This was not philanthropic of him, so, for the benefit of his neighbor, who we hope takes the RURAL, and the rest of mankind, we 'disclose the disclosure'
