PRESIDENT'S 31 TS SAGE To the Senate and Hoi'se of Representatives, .AT THE OPENING OF THE -ECONu SESSION Of THE TwENTT-SECOND f'ONGRESS. Jfellow citizens of the Smote und House of litprtsrntativtt: It gives me uleasuie to congratulate you upon your return to the Seat of Government, for the pur pose of discharging vour duties io ihe people of the United Slates. Although the pestilence w huh had traversed the old world has entered our limit-, and exfendrd it ravages' over much of our land, it ha? pleased J,i.igl't) God to mitigate its rverit,J and lessen the number of its victims, coniared with 1 1 ivB viiiu iiuti iiiik ii in iiiv-i - i 1 11 i v wuim i m - v'i which it has spread its terrors. Notwithstanding this visitation, our country presmts, on every side, mi'iks of prosperity and h ippincs, unequHlled, per haps, in any other portion f the world. If we fully appreciate our comparativ e condition, existing cau ees of discount will appear unworthy- of attention, and with hearts of thankfulness to that D vine being who has filled our cup of prosperity, ue shall fed our resolution strenglhened to pn;serve, ai.d bund down to posterity that liberty and that union which we have received from our lathers, and which con Stitite the sources and the hieldof all our blessings. The relations of our country continue to pr nt the sarr.e picture of amicable intercourse that I had the satisfaction to hold up to your view ;it the open ing of your l;t sesfciou. The same fiiendU profes lion?, the same desire to participate in our flouri-h log commerce, the same disposition to retrain from injuries, untntentiona'liy otiered, are, with few ex Ceptlcifis, evinced b'v alf iVaiiohs witfi whom we have any intercourse. This desirable stale of things inav by mainly a-enbed to our unuev lating practice of the rule which has long guided our national policy, to require no exclusive privileges in ommerce, and to grant none, it is dailv producing its btiuficial ef fect in the respect shown to our flag, tin protection of our citizens and their property abroad, Hiid in the increase of our navigation and the extension of our mercantile operations. J he re turns which have been , "made out since-we last met, will show an increase during the last preceding )ear of more than 80,000 tons in our shipping, ami of near foity millions of dollars in the aggregate of our imports and export-. Nor have we less reason to lelidt.it- ourselves on the position of our political than of our commercial concerns. They remain in the stale in which the were when I hist addressed ou a state ol prosper ity and peace, the effe t of n wise attention to the parting advice ol the ryveroiul liiher ot Ins countrv, on this subject, condensed into a maxim for ihe use of posterity, h one ol hi- most distinguished sue cesors, to cultivate Iree commerce and honest friendship with all nations, hul to to.tke entangling alliances with none. A stiicl adlun iueto this pi, licy has kept us aloof from the perplexing questions that now Rgitate llic"Eumpeaii win Id, and have more than once deluged those countries with blood. Should those scenes unfortunately recur, the partus to the contest may count on a faithful performance of the duties incumbent on u as a untr,d nation, " and ouf Own citizens u.,iy equally rely on the firm assertion of then -neutral' rights. - ; With the nation that Wm" our earliest friend and ally ia the infancy or our politiral existence, tin most friendly nations have sohst-tcii through lh' ttTfe viWtiMi'ftf,"r,' (o vfr Hrmer rrfTtttwiv-l'rrsm H-hr event of the last, promie a permanent duration. has latterly been so much engrossed by matters 01 a deeply interesting domestic character, that we could not press upon it the renewal of negot iations winch had been unfortunately bioken ofj by the unexpect ed recal of our Minister, who had commenced them with some hopes of success. My great ob ject was the settlement of questions which, though now dormant, u ight htieafttr he levived under cir cuimlances that would endanger the good under ALaiidujg vvbich it is tbcnUciest if, both parties Jo preservi' inviolat. , cemei.ied as it is by a tonvi unity ol lanun , , maonri- ad " ;ai habits, ami t) the high objigjitjon. w w e to .out...

I wish earnestly, that in announcing to you the 'Continuance of friendship, and the increase of a pro fitable commercial intercourse with Mexico, with Central America, and the States of the South, I could rftcoivtptuiy it. wph the assurance tbattbeyaJi are blessed with that internal tranquility and foreign peace which their heroic devotion to the cause of t h e.i r i nd c p . nd r u C e n i cr.i hi. .Uexiova saiiguuiary I struggle is now carried oil, which has caused some embarrassment to our crmciee: but both parties I profess the most friendly disposition towards us. has hern an increased respect for our fl;i' in th e distant seas, and additional security for our com merce. hi the view I have iriven of our connexion with fo. reign powers, allu-ions have been made to their do mestic disturbances or foreign wars, to their revolo. tioim or distentions. It niav be proper to. observe that tins is done soht'y in cases where those events affect our political relations with them, or to show their operation on our commerce. Further than this, it is neither oor policy nor our right to inter fere. Our best w iihes on all occasions oir good offices when required , will be alf nh d to promote the domestic, tranqui lity and foreign peace of all na lions with whom t have any intercourse. , Any in tervention in their atfairs further than this, even by the expression of an official opinion, is con'iarv to our principles of international policy , an J will always be avoided. The report which the Secretary of the Treasury will, in ductime, Uy before you, will hihit then?i tionalJinances in a highly prosperous 6tate. Owing to the continued I'iccess of our commercial enter prise, -w.uk Iw hs -nabbed" the imerrrbanrr to -filtnt "" their engagenients'with the g ivermnenl, the receipts from customs during tlm year, will exceed the esti mate presented atthe last session; a.,d with the other the fact, that even in this unfavorable state of things. our n aniline commerce has increased, and an inter nal trade by raravens, trom St. Louis to Santa Fe, under the protection of csrorl9 furnished by the governmeiils. is earned on to great advantage, and is .daily increasing. The agi ntj provided for by the question, whether thay would .dvise a submission treaty with this power, to ilisignate the boundaries to the opinion of the sovieign aibiter. That body , Inch is established, have been named on our part; having considered (hi a ward as not ohiigatorv , and ! hut one of (he evils ofthecuil war now raging .idvi-ed me to open a f'lilher iiegoliation, the prop osjtion w imnii diairly made to the lritish govern n if 1 1 1 ; hul (hi ircuiiistani es to which I nave :ti Imied have hula rto prevented any answer hung given to the ovirtnie. I.'arlv attention, however, has been promi-eii to the subject, and every tlloil on m pail will he made lor satilaclorv settle ment ol this question, interesting lo the Union gen eraliy, and particularly so to o,.e ot its tin m bi i-. The claims of our citizens on paiti are not y et acknowledged. On a closer investigation ol them than appears io have hereto lore taken place, it was discovered that some of the-e demands, however stiong they might be upon th equity of that govern rnent, w'ere not such .is could he made the sot j' cs ot national intoifcrence.. Aim huthful lo the princi ple of asking nothing but what was cleailv right, ad ditional instructions have hcen sent, t motlilv our de t.ands so as to unbrace those only on w hich, ac cording to the laws of nations, we had a strict right to msi-t. An inevitable delay in procuring the doc uments necc-saiy lor ibis Review ot the merits of the claims ret uded this operation, until an unfortu nate malady w Inch has allhcted his Catholic majesty. prevented an examination oi lluan. Liemg now for the fir-t time pri ented in an unexceptionable form, il is confidently hoped the application will he suc cessful. I have the satisfaction to inform you, that the ap plication I directed to be made for the delivery of a part ol the archives of Florida, which had been ear ned to the llavaima, has produced a roval order for tin ir di livery, and that measures have been taken to procure its execum n. By the rrpoit of the Secretary of State communi cated to you:oh.thi 25th June last, you were infor med of the conditional reduction, obtained by the .Minister ol the United states at Madrid, of the du fo the termination of this contest, we look for the I means of the Tfc'isurv will prove fully adequate, establishment ol that secure intercourse, sonecessa- not only to meet the increased expenditures result' ry to nations whose terntoriesaie contiguous.

'I't ... i:. r .i . i f- 1 . , . tin re has been, that the appomtn cut of those with whom they weir lo co-opuale has hot )ct been aniioui.ee d to us. The government of Central America has expelled fro in ib territory the pact winch some time since disturbed its peace. Desirous of fostering a favora hie disposition towards us, winch has on moie than ( it occasion been evinced hy its interesting country, I made a second atteu.pt, in this vcar, toistablish a diplomatic ii lercour-i with ihem; tut the death of the distinguished citizi n whom! Kad appomtid (or that purpose, has retarded ihe execution of mea sures from which I hoped much ud vantage to otir commerce. 1 he union of the three States whiih formed the republic of Colombia has been dissolved; but they all, it 'is believed, consider the m-i lvesas separate !y hound by the treaty which has been made their lede ral capacity. The: Minister accredited lo the federation, continue in that character near the government of Ni w (inr.ada, and hopes were etertained, that a new I'moii would be formed be tween the Sep., i ate Slates, at leist, for tlx- purpose's of foreign mt icourse. Our Minister has been in structed to use his good offices, whenever thev shall he desired, to produce the reunion so much to he wished, for th.- dornc-lic tranquility ( of tlie -partrefr and the security and facility of foreign crmmcrce. Some agitativuis naturally attendant in an infant reign have prevaile d in the empire of Unzil, which h!iyehadjlieusuaK lions; and while they suspended the consideration of claims created on similar occasions, they have given rise to new con plaints on the part of our citizens. A proper consideration for calamities and difficulties of this nature has made us less urgent and peremp tory in our demands for justice than duty to our fel low citizens would, under other circumstances, have required, but their claims are not neglected, and will on all proper occasions be urged, and, it is ho the-ports of Spain. The condition of that reduction having been compheu with on our part, by the act passed the 1 3th of July last, I have the satis tion to inform you that our ships now pay no high er nor other dines in the continental ports of Spain than arelevied on their national vessels.

Thi' first ot these has been paid the second although due, had not, at the date of our last advice's, been rece ived; owing it was alleged, to embarrassments in the finances, conse quent on the cival war in which the nation is euga ged. The payments stipulated by the convention with Denmaik, have been punctually made, and the ..mount is ready for distribution among the claim ants as soon as the board now sitting shall have per formed their fuctions. I regret that by the last advices from our charee I refrain from making any communication on the subject of our affairs with Hucnos Ay res, because the negotiation communicated to you in my last am nual message, was, at the elate of our last advices, still pending, and in a stats that would render a pub lication of the details inexpedient. A treaty of Amity and commerce has been formed oil the republic of Chili, which, if "approved by the 1 hat government seems to he established, and at peace with its neigh bors; and it ports being the resorts of ' our ships which are employed in the highly important trade of the fisheries, the commercial convention cannot but be of great advantage to our fellow citizens engaged in that perilous hut pioflitable business. Our commerce with the neighboring .State of Pe ru, owing fo (he onerous duties levied on our princi pal articles of export, has been on the decline, and all endeavors to procure an alteration have hitherto proved fruitless. With L5oliva, we have yet no di plomatic intercourse, and the continual contests car ried on between it and Peru have made me defer, (iWffairs al Naples that government had still delay- juntil a more-, favorable, period, the appointment of eel the satisiacnpn due - to our citizens; but at (hat fate, the ellect ol the last instructions' was not i anv aeent for that nurnose. Au act of atrocious piracy having been committed U iioyvn. Despatches from the nce ajehou T-'tnnrTmrTCiari ivinUe communicated to you with- debt which is at present redeemi d. It i now r. timaied that the customs will yield to the Treasury, during the present yeac upwards of twenty-eight millions of dollar-). The public laoJs, iio Yever hive proved less productive than wis anticipateAl; ami according 4to prfsent information, will fall short of two millions, the expenditures for all objects oihir than the public liebt, are estimated to amount during; the year to about sixteen millions, w hile a still lar. ger sum, viz: e;hleen millions of dollars, will have been applied ti the principal aud iulerent of tho public debt. It is expected, however, that in consequence of the reduced rides of .duly which will take rflect af er the 3d of March next, their will be a considera ble falling ofr in the revenue from customs in (he year 1333. . It will, nevertheless, be amply sufficient to provide for all the wants of the public service, estimated even upon a liberal scale, and for the re demption and purch ie of the remainder of the pub he debt of th6 United Stales, landed and unfunded will be reduced to within a friction of seven mil lions of dollars: of which $2,227,36 3 are not of n;ht redeemable until the 1st o January. 1834. and 81,735296, not until the 2d of January, 1835. The commissioners of the sinking fund, however, being invested with full authority lo purchase the debt at the market price, and the. means of the Treasury being ample, it .iay be hoped that (he whole will bej extinguished within thp ) car 1833. ' '! I cannot too cordially congratulate Congress ant) my fellow citizens on the near approach of, that me morable and happy event, the extinction of thc pub lic debt of this great and free nation. Faithful to the wise and patriotic policy marked eut by the le gislation or The country lor this object, the present administration has devoted to it all the means which a flourishing commerce has supplied, and a prudent I e'Ceio:ny preserved for tho public Treasury. Within the lour years lor winch the people have couhAai the executive power to my charge, fifiy eight mil. lions of dollars will have hee-n applied to the pay ment of the public debt. 'I hat this has been accom plished without stinting the expenditures for all other proper objects will be seen by referring to the? liberal provision made duiiiig the same period for the sup port and increase of our means of maritime and military defence, for internal improvements of a na tional cnaractci, for the removal and preservation of the Indians, and lastly for the gallant veterans of the revolution. The final removal of this great burtlit'n from oar resources affords the means of further provisions for all the objects of general welfare and public defence which the constitution authorizes, and pre scnlj the occasion for such further reduction in the revenue as may not be retpiircd for them. Froai the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, it will he seen that after the present year 6tich a reductieui may he made to a considerable extent, and the subject u earnestly recommended to the consideration ol 'Con gress, in the hope that the combineel wisdom of the representative s of the people will devise hiicli means of eflecting that salutary object, as may remove those burthens which shall be found to fall unequally upon any, and as may promote all the great in te rests of the community. Long and patient reflection has strengthened the opinions I have heretofore expressed to Congress on this subject; and I deem it my dutv on the present occasion, again to urge them' upon the attention of the Legislature. The 'soundejt maxims of p'rihhV. policy and the principles upon which our republican institutions arc founded, recommended a proy.rr adap tation of the revenue h the expenditure, (V tueval-o .
