C. 4 - ' msnA lo tilt SEVENTEENTH CONGRESS riHST SESSION. WASHINGTON', DEC. 5, 1821. At 12 o'clock this day, the President of the Uni ted States transmitted to both Houses of Con gress, by Mr. S. L. Gouyekxeur, the following ATRr.S.lGR: Fellow Citizens of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives : The progress of our affairs since the last session has been such as may justly be claimed and expected, under a govern ment deriving all its powers from an en lightened people, and under laws formed by their representatives, cn reat consid eration, for the sole purpose of promoting the welfare and happiness of their constit uents. In the execution of those laws, and of the powers vested by the constitu tion in the Executive, unremitted attention has been paid lo the great objects to which they extend. In the concerns which are exclusively internal, there is r;ood cause to be satisfied with the result. The laws have had their due operation and effect. In those relating to foreign powers, I am happy to stale that peace and amity are preserved with all, by a strict observance, on both sides, of the right of each. In matters touching our commercial inter course, where a difference of opinion has existed, in any case, as to the conditions on which it should be placed, each party has pursued its own policy, without giving just cause of offence to the other. In this annual communication, especially when it is addressed to a new Congress, the whole scope of our political concerns naturally conies into view ; that errors, if such have been committed, may be cor rected ; that defects, which have become manifest, may be remedied ; and, on the other hand, that measures which were adopted on due deliberation, and which experience has shown arc just in them sehes, anil essential to the public welfare, should be persevered in and supported. In performing this necessary and very important duty, I shall endeavor to place before you, on its merits, every subject that is thought to be entitled to your par ticular attention, in as distinct and clear a light, as I may be able. liy an act of the 3d of March, 1 8 1 5, so much of the several acts as imposed high er duties on the tonnage of foreign ves sels, and on the manufactures and produc tions of foreign nation, when imported into the United States in foreign vessels than when imported in vessels of the Uni ted States, were repealed, so far as res pected the manufactures and productions of the nation to which such vessel belong ed, on the condition, that the repeal should take effect only in favor of any for eign nation, when the Executive should be satisfied that such discriminating du ties, to the disadvantage of the United States, had likewise been repealed by such nation. By this act, a proposition was made to all nations to place our commerce, with each, on a basis, which, it was pre sumed, would be acceptable to all. Eve ry nation was allowed to bring its manu factures and productions into our ports and to take the manufactures and produc tions of the United States, back to their ports, in their own vessels, on the same conditions that they might be transported in vessels of the United States ; and. in return, it was required that alike accom modation should be granted lo the vessels of the United Slates, in the ports of oth er powers. The articles to be admitted or prohibited, on cither side, formed no part of the proposed arrangement. Each party wotdd retain the right lo admit or prohibit such articles from the other as it thought proper, and on its own conditions. When the nature of the commerce be tween the United States and every other country was taken into view, it was thought that this proposition would be considered fair, and even liberal, by eve ry power. The exports of the United States consist generally of articles of the first necessity, and of rude materials, in demand for foreign manufactories, of great bulk, requiring for their transporta tion many vessels, the return for which in the manufactures and productions of any foreign country, even when disposed of there to advantage, may be brought in a single vessel. This observation is more especially applicable to those countries from which manufactures alone are im ported, but it applies, in a great extent, to the European dominions of every Eu ropean power, and, in a certain extent, to ail the colonies of those powers. By placing, then, the navigation precisely on the same ground, in the transportation of exports and imports, between the United States and other countries, it was presum ed that all was offered which could be de- j sired. It seemed to be the only proposi tion which could be devised which would retain even the semblance of equality in our favor. Many considerations of great weight gave us a right to expect that this com merce should be extended to the colonies, as well as to the European dominions of other powers. With the latter, especial ly with countries exclusively manufactur ing, the advantage was manifestly on their j side. An indemnity for that los was ex- j pected from a trade with the colonies, and, with the greater reason, as it was known that the supplies which the colo nies derived from us were of the highest importance to them, their labor being be stowed with so much greater profit in the culture of other articles, and because, like wise, the articles of which those supplies consisted, forming so large a proportion of the exports of the United States, were never admitted into any of the ports of Europe, except in cases of great emer gency, to avert a serious calamity. When no article is admitted which is not requir ed to supply the wants of the party ad mitting it, and admitted then, not in favor of any particular country, to the disadvan tage of others, but on conditions equally applicable to all, it seems just ihil the ar ticles thus admitted and invited should be carried thither in the vessels of the coun try affording such supply, and that the re ciprocity should be lound in a correspon ding accommodation on the other side. By allowing each party to participate in the transportation of such supplies, on the payment of equal tonnage, a strong proof was afforded of an accommodating spirit, fo abandon to it the transportation of the whole would be a sacrifice which ought not to be expected. The demand, in the present instance, wotdd be the more un reasonable, in consideration of the ine quality existing in the trade with the pa rent country. Such was the basis of our system a.s established by the act of 1815, and such its true character. In the year in which this act was passed, a treaty was conclu ded with Great Britain, in strict conform ity with its principles, in regard to her European dominions. To her colonies, however, in the West Indies and on this continent, it was not extended, the British government claiming the exclusive sup ply of those colonies, and from our own ports, and of the productions of the colo nies in return, in her own vessels. To this claim the United States could not as sent, and, in consequence, each party sus pended the intercourse, in the vessels of the other, by a prohibition, which still exists. The same conditions were offered to France, but not accepted. Her Govern ment has demanded other conditions, more favourable to her navigation, and which should also give extraordinary cn com agement to her manufactures and proiluctioi'S. in the potts of the United States. To these it was thought impro per to accede, and, in consequence, the restiiciive regulations, which had been adopted on her part, being countervailed on the part of the United States, the di rect commerce, between the two coun- if i tries, in the vessels oi eacn party, lias been in a great measure suspended. It is much to be regretted, that although a negotiation has been long pending, such is the diversity of views entertained, on the various points, which have been brought into discussion, that there does not appear to be any reasonable prospect of its ear ly conclusion. It is my duty to state, as a cause of ve ry great regret, that very serious differ ences have occurred, in this negotiation, respecting the construction of the eighth article of the Treaty of 1803, whereby Louisiana was ceded to the United States, and likewise respecting the seizure of the Apollo, in 1329, for a violation of our revenue laws.. The claim of the govern ment of France has excited not less sur prise than concern, because there does not appear to be a just foundation for it, in cither instance. By the eighth article of the Treaty referred to, it is stipulated that, after the expiration of twelve years, during w hich it was provided, by the pre ceding or seventh article that the vessels of France and Spain should be admitted into the ports of the ceded Territory, without paying higher duties on merchan dise, or tonnage on vessels, than such as were paid by citizens of the United States, the ships of France should forever after wards be placed on the footing of the most favored nation. By the obvious construction of this article, it is presum ed, that it was intended, that no favor should be granted to any power in those ports, to which France should not be forth with entitled ; nor should any accommo dation be allowed, to another power, on conditions, to which she would not, also, be entitled upon the same conditions. Under this construction, no favour or ac commodation, could be granted, to any power, to the prejudice of France. By allowing the equivalent, allowed by those powers, she would always stand, in those ports, on the footing of the most favour-1 ed nulicn. Cut; if this article should bs I so construed, as that France should enjoy,, of right, and without paying the equtvan lent, all the advantages of such conditions as might be allowed toother powersjirx return for important concessions made, by them, then, the whole character of the-, stipulation would be changed... She wou.Vl not bz placed on the tooting of the mcs favoured nation, but on a footing-held by no other nation. She would enjoy ait advantages allowed to them, in. couder- tion of like advantages allowed to us,, tcee. from every, and any, condition whjtexe.r-v As little cause has the Government Q$ France to complain of the seizure of, t.h.ej Apollo, and the removal of o.thsr vessels from the waters of the Su Mary's,, t will not be denied, that every nation b.as, a right to regulate its commercial system. as it thinks fn, and to enforce the coli.ee tion of its revenue, provided it be don.e without an invasion of the rights of ct'.er powers. The violation of ha icvcuviQ laws is an offence, which all nations pun.-, ish : the punishment of which gives. cj just cause of complaint to the power-to; which the offenders belong, provided U. be extended to. all equally. In this case every circumstance which occurred, indU catcd a fixed purpose tovtoi.tteour revenue: laws. Had the party intended to have pursued a, fuir trade, he would have enter- cd our ports, and pud the duties ; or he intended to. have carried on a legiti mate circuitous commerce, with the Un ted States, he would have entered th poit of tiome other power, landed Uis goods at the custom house acceding tOi law, and reshipped and sent them in the vessel of such power, or some other poy-a er which might lawfully bring them, fvee from such duties, to a port of the United States. But the conduct of the party in this case, was altogcthei different. entered the river St. Mary's, the bounds ry between the United States arul Vhvi. da, and look his position on the Sp.an.Kt side, on which, in the whole extent of river, there was no town, no port, or cv,v torn house, and scarcely any ettltmt nU His purpose, therefore, was not to sell goods to the inhabitants of Florida, but e citizens of the United States in. exchanfe for their productions, which could ne done, without a direct and palpable t-reacrt of our laws. It is known that a regular systematic plan had been formed iy cev tain other persons for the violation of oi? revenue system, which made it ihs irr - necessary , to check; the proceeding commencement, That the unsettled bank of a riie; s. remote from the Spanish garrisons nv; population, could give no protection cc any party, in such a practice, is belie rA to be in strict accord with the law of iy tions. It would not have comported uh a friendly policy in Spain herself, to h't.vej established a custom house there, smc3 it would have subserved no other pv pose, than to elude our revenue laws.r But the Government of Spain did vq adopt that measure. On the contrary, it is understood, that the Captain Genet of Cuba, to whom an application to ijyit effect was made, by these adventurers, had not acceded to it. The condition oi; those provinces for many years, before they were ceded to the United States need not now be dwelt on. Inhabiteq by different tribes of Indians, and an inroad for every kind of adventurer, the juiisdic-a tion of Spain may be said to have been almost exclusively, confined to her gam sons. It certainly could not extend tQ places, where she had no authority. The rules, therefore, applicable to settled couru tries, governed by laws, could not he deemed so, to the deserts of Florida, an$ to the occurrences there. It merits atten tion, also, that the territory had been ce-s ded to the United States, by a treaty, the ratification cf which had not been refust ed, and which has since been performed. Under such circumstances, thereforej Spain became less responsible for such acts, committed there, and the United States more at liberty tq exercise author;-, ty, to prevent so great a mischief. The, conduct of this Government has, in every instance, been conciliatory and friendly to, France. The construction of our reve.f nue law, in its application to the cases, which have formed the ground of such serious complaint cn her part, and the or der to the Collector of St. Mary's, in ac- cord with it, were given two years before these cases occurred, and in reference ta a breach, which was attempted by the subjects of another power. Its applica tion, therefore, to the cases in question was inevitable. As soon as the Treaty, by which these provinces were ceded to the United States, was ratified, and all danger of further breach of our revenue laws ceased, an order was given for the release of the vessel, which had been seiz ed, and for the dismission of the libel, which had been instituted against her. The principles of this system of recip rocity, founded on the law of the 3d of March, 1815, have been since carried in-
