PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
WASHIN'OTON. DEC 3,1827
This day, at half past 12 o'clock, .the frcsi
dent of the United Stalei ennmunicated to both
houses of Conjjres the following Message :
To tht Senate and Haute Hepretentath of the
United .Vow.
Pellow-Ctiizens of the Senatr, -
and of the House of Representatives :
A revolution of the Seasons has nearly
been completed since the Representatives
- of the People and States of this Union
-r..; were Jast assembled at this place, to de
liberate and to act upon the eomriton im
portant interests ol their constituents. In
that interval, the neverklumberin eye of
' w'se nlneficent Providence htw con
tinued its guardian care over the wellare
' !?our J0fd country. The blcsslnij of
jneaitn nas continuctl gencraUy la pieVair
tnroughont the land. The blessing ol
peace with our brethren of the humun
...H.?Jiln,?jj:etl without interrup
tion ; internal quiet has jefi our leiiow-'
wnaens in inc lull enjoyment of all their
ever, been effectedby a fourth Conven
tion, concluded at London by the Plenipo
tentiaries of the two Governments on the
29th of September last. It will be sub
mitted, together with the others,' to the
consideration of the Senate.
Whili these questions have been pen
ding, incidents have occurred of conflie
ting preiensions, and of dangerous char
acter,-upn the territory itself in dispute
between :he to Nations- By a common
tmderstaiding between the Governments
it was agreed that, no exercise of exclo
sive juikdiction by either party, while
the negstiation was pending, should
change the state of the question of right
to be definitely settled. Such collision
has nevertheless recently taken place, by
occxirwhre, the precise character of
whi, h hs not yet necn ascertained. A
Act under which it was Issued, bits fee en,
that each and every provision of the Act
cdncrrning-Navigationi of 18th April,
1818, and of the Act supplementary there
to of 15th May, 1820, revived, and is in
full force. Such, then, is the present
condition of the trade, that, useful as it is
to both parties, it can, with a single mo
mentary exception, be carried on directly
by the vessels of neither. That excep
tion itself is found in a Proclamation of
the Governor of the Island of St. Christo
Sympathies -which the Teopte and Gov.
ernment of the United 8iatei. have so
warmly indulged with their cause. i.

to solicit gratuitous favors, or to accept
as the grant of a favor that for which an
ample equivalent is exacted. It remains
to be determined by the respective gov
ernments, whether the trade shall ba
opened by acts of reciprocal legislation.
It is in' the mean time satisfactory to
know, that apart from the inconveniences
resulting from a disturbance of the usual
channels of trade- no loss has been bus

While so maoji of the subjects of high
interest to the fiiendly relations between
the two countrie have been so far adiust
ed, it ivmiiter if regret that their views
respecting the commercial intercourse
between the United States and the British
Coloni-il possessions have no equally ap
proximated to a friendly agreement.
At the commencement of the last Ses
sion of Longresi, they er informed of
the midden and iinexpec'ed exclusion by
the British Government, of access, in ves
sels of tie United Slates, to all their
colonial forts, except; those immediate!
bordering upon our own territories. In

jias been m an ifested to rrne w that Sic go- T
Haiion ; and, m actedmg.to the proposal,
we have expressed the wish (hat it might
be extended to other objects, upon which
a Rood understanding between the parties
would be beneficial to the interests of both.
The origin ol the political relations be
twten the United States and France, is
coeval with the first years of our Indc
pendence. The memory of it is inter

war of Independence, are succeeded by a
solicitude, equally ardent and cordial,
thatj by the wisdom and puriry of their

and the best rewards of virtuous liberty!
Disclaiming slike all right, and all inten-'
tion of hnterft ring in thbse concerns which
it is the prerogative of their Independent
to regulate as to them seems fit. we hail
with joy every indication of their pros
perity, of their harmony, of their perse
vering and inflexible homage to those,
principles of freedom and of equal rights,
which are alone suited to the genius and
temper of the American nations. It has
been therefore with some concern that
we have observed Indications of imeatina

nianifestation.was intended on the part of
the United States, of the most friendly
disposition towards the Southern Repub
lics by whom it had been proposed, it
was hoped that it would furnish an oppor
