The House of Representatives having at length been organized (after many days of ineffectual Efforts) by the election of a Speaker, the President of the Uni ted States yesterday? transmitted to both Houses of Congress! by Col. W. W. Bliss, bis Private Secretary, the following Mes- sage iNat. Int. Fellow -Citizens of theiSenate Wid House of Representatives : Sixty years have elapsed since the es tablishment of this Government, and the Congress of the United States again as sembles to legislate for an empire of free men. The predictions of evil prophets, who formerly pretended to foretell the downfall of our institutions, are now. re membered only to be derided, and the United States of America at this moment present; to the world the most stable and permanent Governnntent on earth. Such is the result of the labors of those who have gone before us. Upon Con gress will eminently depend the future maintenance ot our; system of free gov ernment, and the transmission of it, un impaired, to posterity. We are at peace with all nations of the world, and seek to maintain our cher ished relations of amity with them. Du ring the past year We have been blessed, by a kind Providence, with an abundance of the fruits of the earth ; and. although the destroying angel, for a time, visited extensive portions of our territory with the ravages of a dreadful pestilence, yet the Almighty has it length deigned to stay his hand, and to restore the inestima ble blessing of general health to a people who have acknowledged his power, de precated his wrath, and implored his mer ciful protection. While enjoying tfee benefits of amica ble intercourse with foreign nations, we have not been inserisible to the distran tions and wars whidh have prevailed in ! other Quarters of the world. It is a nro- I per theme of thanksgiving to Him who ! rules the destities oflnations.that we have j been able Jo maintain, amidst all these contests, an independent and neutral do- i sition towards all belligerent Powers. Our relations with Great Britain are of the most friendly character. In cense quence of the recent alteration of the British navigation jacts, British vessels, from British and other foreign ports, will. (under our existing laws.) after the first day of January next, be admitted to entry in our nort. with carafes of thr; crrowtb. manufacture, or production of any part of j the world, on the same terms, as to the I duties, imposts, and charges, as vessels of j tha-TTriited States with theiFcaroes : and t - r . o . out vessels will be admitted to the same "ciy, anu as we supposes iorciuiy, car advantages in British ports, entering there- j ned off in a vessel from New Orleans to in on the: same terms as British vessels, j th? Island of Cuba. I immediately caus Should no order in! council disturb this ed such stePs toLbe taJen as 1 though: nrc. legislative arrangement, the late act of j cssary, in case the information I had rc-. the British Parliament, by which Great j c,elv,ed should prove correct to vindicate Britain IS brought Within the terms pro- pOSetj by the act of Congress of the 1st of March, 1817, it is hoped, will be produc tive of benefit to both countries. j A slight interruption of diplomatic in ; tercourse occurred between this Govern j ment and FjTance, I jam happy to say, has j been terminated, and our Minister there , has been received, j It is, therefore, un j necessary to refer n6w to the circumstan ces which led to that interruption. 1 need j hot eSpress to you the sincere satisfaction Shortly after I had entered upon the discharge of the Executive duties, I was apprized that a war steamer belonging to the German Empires was being fitted out in the'harbor of New York, with the aid of some of our naval officers, rendered under the permission of the late Secreta- rv of the Navy. lhis permission was This obligations, incurred by the treaty with ! remark, and of the nrovisions of the act M of Congress of the both of April, 1818, 1 ,V .

The expedition hns been suppressed So long as the act of Czr.rcr of the 20th of April, 1818, which cv.cj its existance to the law of nations and to the policy of Washington himself,shaii remain on our statute book, I hold it to be the duty of the Executive faithfully to obey its in- Ju"t,ons- ! hiI? his. expccHtion was in jro-ryp, , was informed trxt n fcrci.r.er, ;zot claimed our protection, had been clanes- .: i.. i i r : i i. lue uonor.ui iue courury, anu me rigut u every person seeking an asylum on our soil to the protection of our laws. The person alledged to have been abducted was promptly restored, and the circumstances of the case are now about to undergo in vestigation before a judicial tribunal. 1 would respectfully suggest that, although the crime charged to have been commit ted in this rasp, is hpld odious, as beintr in conflict with our opinions on the subject of national sovereignty and personal free- , i . i-u-.- t dom, there is no prohibition ot it, or pun- ishment for it, provided in any act of Con- gress.

Our Charge d'Affairs at Bogota has been directed to make such representations lo the Govern ment of New Grenada as will, it is hoped, lead to a prorfrpt removal of this cause of complaint. The sangvjinary civil war with which the Republic of Venezuela has for pome time past been ravaged, has been brought to a close. In its progress lhe rights of some cf our citi zens, resident cr trading there, have been vio. lated.

Tbe United Slates stand as "The great Ameri can Power, to uhicb, as their natural ally and fiiend, they will always be disposed first to look for mediation aud assistance, in the event of any collision between them and any Euro pean natiou. As such, we may often kindly meditate in their behalf, without entangling our selves in foreign wars or unnecessary contro versies. Whenever the faith of our treaties with any of them shall lequire our interference, we must necessarily interpose. A conventieu has been negotiated with Bra zil providing for the satisfaction of American claims oa that Government, and it will be sub. milted to the Senate.
