<p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize10"><inline class="smallCaps">In</inline> publishing the following Laws, the same plan has been adopted that was prescribed in the Joint Resolution of Congress of March 3, 1845 (Vol. V., p. 798), authorizing a subscription to the edition of all the Laws of the United States published by us. A close examination of this volume will disclose some apparent errors in the Laws as here printed; but as we procure a careful collation with the records at Washington by an experienced reader of the Department of State, and scrupulously follow the original, any seeming errors must be attributed to the Rolls, and not to us.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize10">We intend to publish annually, and as soon after the close of each Session of Congress as is possible, the Acts of that Session, in a similar form and with a similar arrangement.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize10">It will be seen by the following extracts from the Act of Congress, August 8, 1846 (Vol. IX., p. 76), and the Joint Resolutions of September 26, 1850 (Vol. IX., p. 564), and March 31, 1866 (Vol. XIV., p. 352), that our edition has been sanctioned by Congress, and is the <inline class="smallCaps">Official Edition</inline>.</p>
<quotedContent>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize10">“And whereas said edition of the said Laws and Treaties of the United States has been carefully collated and compared with the original rolls in the archives of the Government, under the inspection and supervision of the Attorney-General of the United States, as duly certified by that officer: therefore, <i>Be it further enacted,</i> that said edition of the Laws and Treaties of the United States, published by Little &amp; Brown, is hereby declared to be competent evidence of the several public and private acts of Congress, and of the several treaties therein contained, in all the courts of law and equity and maritime jurisdiction, and in all the tribunals and public offices of the United States and of the several States, without any further proof or authentication thereof.”—<inline class="smallCaps">Approved,</inline> August 8, 1846.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize10"><i>“Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.</i> That the Secretary of State be authorized and directed to contract with Little &amp; Brown to furnish their annual Statutes at Large, printed in conformity with the plan adopted by Congress in eighteen hundred and forty-five, instead of the edition usually issued by his order, under the act of Congress of April twentieth, eighteen hundred and eighteen, and which conforms to an edition of the laws now out of use.”—<inline class="smallCaps">Approved,</inline> September 26, 1850.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize10"><i>“Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.</i> That the Secretary of State be, and he is hereby, authorized and directed to renew the contract of October thirty-first, eighteen hundred and fifty, between the Department of State and Little, Brown, and Company, of Boston, Massachusetts, for the annual publication of the Statutes at Large of the United States until otherwise ordered by Congress, in conformity with the joint resolutions approved respectively March third, eighteen hundred and forty-five, and September <i>thirtieth</i> [twenty-sixth], eighteen hundred and fifty.”—<inline class="smallCaps">Approved,</inline> March 31, 1866.</p>

<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10"><inline class="smallCaps">Sir</inline>,—I have the honor to inform the Department that I have received <sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Change in ths treaty regulations suggested.</p></sidenote>a letter from his Excellency Chaw Phaya Praklang, Minister of Foreign Affairs, informing me that the Royal Counsellors for the Kingdom of Siam desire to change article first of the Treaty Regulations, and that the change shall go into effect on January 1st, 1868. The article alluded to is as follows, viz.:—</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">“Every shipmaster upon anchoring his vessel at Paknam will deliver into the custody of the Custom-house officers, all his guns and ammunition, and a custom-house officer will then be appointed to the vessel and will proceed in her to Bangkok.”</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">The article as changed will require that the powder alone be left at Paknam, but that the guns be allowed to remain in the vessel. I have given my assent to the change and all the other Consuls have done the same.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">The change is a very advantageous one to shipmasters, as in [the] shipping and reshipping of their guns, some of which were heavy, was attended with much delay and expense; whereas they generally have but a few pounds of powder on board which can be boxed up and put ashore in a very short time.</p>

<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">Your obedient servant,</p>

<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">Saying,—That the Senabodee of the Kingdom of Siam have considered this matter, and have come to the conclusion that, as they saw that Siam was near the water and that trading ships could ascend to the city, for this reason they asked a clause in the treaties, that all guns and powder should be landed at Paknam before the ship would ascend the river.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">The Ministers Plenipotentiary also were of the same opinion, and yielded this point to the Siamese in the Treaties. When a vessel came in and the Chaw Pausknan at Paknam received the guns and powder off the vessel, <i>that</i> [they] found it very difficult to take care of the powder and were afraid of an explosion, and for this reason they did not receive the powder from the vessel but simply the guns. But now a long time since the Senabodee are of the opinion that the taking off of the guns at Paknam is a source of trouble to the vessels, for they took off guns belonging to many persons and when the vessels <i>come</i> [came] down again it was often after night, and when the Captains went for their guns the wrong ones were frequently taken, and when the vessel coming afterwards <page identifier="/us/stat/17/808">808</page>could not find her own guns, there was a fuss, and the Siamese officers had frequently to pay for the guns. Again the powder was left in the vessels, and they coming up and anchoring in the river, there was danger of an explosion and injury to the citizens here.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">Therefore the Senabodee have ordered me to write to all the Consuls, and ask that the custom be changed from January 1st, 18G8. We ask to take out the powder of the vessel at Paknam, but the guns can he left in the vessels and need not be taken out. If you are also of the same opinion, you will please inform masters of vessels and others under your protection to this effect. When the vessel comes to Paknam let them take out all the powder, but if they refuse to let the powder be taken out and it remains in the vessel and there arises any difficulty from that fact, we [beg to] claim indemnity according to the treaty.</p>

Fully sensible of the responsibility imposed upon the Executive by the act of Congress to which public attention is now called, and reluctant to call into exercise any of the extraordinary powers thereby conferred upon me, except in cases of imperative necessity, I do, nevertheless, deem it my duty to make known that I will not hesitate to exhaust the powers thus vested in the Executive, whenever and wherever it shall become necessary to do so for the purpose of securing to all citizens of the United States the peaceful enjoyment of the rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution and laws.</p>

Industry has been generally well rewarded. We are at peace with all nations, and tranquillity, with few exceptions, prevails at home.

If some of us have had calamities, these should be an occasion for sympathy with the sufferers, of resignation on their part to the will of the Most High, and of rejoicing to the many who have been more favored.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">I therefore recommend that, on Thursday, the thirtieth day of November next, the people meet in their respective places of worship, and there make the usual annual acknowledgments to Almighty God for .the blessings He has conferred upon them, for their merciful exemption from evils, and invoke His protection and kindness for their less fortunate brethren, whom, in His wisdom, He has deemed it best to chastise.</p>
