whom it has been my fortune to act,
gives to it, in my estimation, an inc?eas

this r.igh mark of confidence, from the
sim: house of representatives, from gen

it inspires n?e with the deepest sense of
gratitude. 1 ii iVc nothing to offer you but
my sincere thanks, in return for this le
newed evidence of your uood opinion, as
well as for the kind indulgence with
which you hive supported me in the
discharge of mv official duties. There
are few stations in civil life of a charac
ter eitner more important or more diffi

of this house. On your Deliberations es
sentially depend the prosperity of this \
extensive an. I extendtng confederacy; in
their p ogress, the must novel and per
plexing questions are frequently pre
sented for the instantanenus decision of
your speaker; and the duties which, in
general, appvrum to his offi< e, involve
in themselves the highest degree of re
sponsibility. In such a situation, to be
able to Command success is the attribute
of no man; to endeavor to deserve it} is '
within the reach of all: that endeavor. I (
am conscious of having earnestly made; |
and, to the pleasure arising frotn that
consciousness, the resnluvon which you
have just passed adds the gratification of
beli -ving that my efforts in this respect
have not been altogether fruitless.

By he packet ships Dido and Alex- J

pool, London papers f-.tr the n?o;.th of I
j I)eci mber, and as far down as the 6th
i Jan. inclusive, were received.
J The question of peace or war remain
j ed just as it was ielt by the previous
advices. In Paris and London, the no.e
of the French Cabinet to the Spanish
government, and the change in the
French mmiMiy, were intcrpreud as
indicative of the continuance of peare,
or at least the postponement of war lor
some time. Tne London Morning
C hronicle says,
44 In the b. st informed circles of Pa
ris. no doubt was entertained that peace
with Spain would not, for the prraent
al ali events, fie interrupted. It w*s
generally understood that his most
j Christian maj< s y > > ad madr. a private
communication to his most Catholic
majrsty, in which the mentions of tfie
Fr< nch government was fully explaiti
ed, and H ey were in the highe?t de
gree, pacific. It was also thought that
?he "ffit lal note from M Villele to 'he
French ambassador a' the court of Ma
drid, could not have been more pacific,
considering the pledges wnich had been
maue to tne holy allied uionarchs at
Verona."
Th? Nur?mbcrg papers assert that
th' continuance of peace between Tor
j key aio Russia is impossible, whatever
? appearance there may be of renewed
negotiation.
Every thing was quiet at Madrid on

The iuccr?et rliimed for Mina are

Some of the ministerial journals of
London now contend thai it is the right
and the intetewi%l England, to interfere
in favor of the Cireek>.
The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Moruing Chronicle say^? - " rely on
it there is no notion (in the French ca

The surrender <>f the cas'l?- of C"r

M. de Chateaubriand has been ap

From tin- M?ming Chronicle, Jan. ?. j
Ti t message of ihe president of the I
L'ni ed States, to the two houses of Cor*
gress. which we rece.vcd yeterday, is
a slate paper of a veiy diff. rent de

and unvarnished statement ol the affairs
ot a gre: . pe?-pie, by one of themselves, j

citizens. A communication from the i
king of f ranre 10 his clumbers would !
be one half false; it would be fuij of the '
monarch, himself and the re ? of the
hopes of l'ian?e, not forgetting the
duke of Bordeaux, a- almost the onl\ ob
ject in which the nation ould take an in- j
teisi, while the national concerns them
selves w'lttld occupy a secondary place.
In America, howei ei , things are order
ed differen'ly.
But the pail of the message which
will excite the greatest interest in Eu- j
'opt, is the nci.lc tribute which he pays I
to the struggling Gieeks, and the testi- j
mony wnicn he bcar? in favor of the re j
volution in Spam and Portugal. ?* A 1
