PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
At 12 o'clock tins day, the President of the
United SUtes transmitted to both Houses
of Congress, bjr.Mr. S. L. GotVxiurkuB,
the following:
MESSAGE ?
'JreU&n-Citizen of the SenAte, " $ ,
and of the Jlotue if Representative!,
The projn-ess of our affairs since ji
e last
session has been such as may justly be claim
ed and expected, under a government deriv
inj all to powers from an ehlightentjd peor
pic, and under laws formed by their repre
sentatives, on great consideration,' for tjl -sole
purpose of promoting the welfare and jiappi
Iness of their constituents. In the e'kecution
of those laws, and df the powers tested bv j
tne consuimion in tne executive, unremitea
attention has been paid to the great' objects
. to which they,-extend.- In the concerns
which are exclusively internal, there is good ,
cause to be satisfied ? with-, the result. Tne
laws have had their due operation and effect.
In thosf relating to foreign powers, I am hap
n to state, that peace! and amity, arei pre-
crfed "with all, by a strict objeryanceonjj
6th sides, of the rights of each. , In tnatters ; (
Krp r t u i i' J
nhFerence of opinion has existed, manv
... r,-. . . . , .
cue, as to the conditions on wh.ch it sh- uld
be placed, each party has pursued ,t a own po-;
Iicy; without gmngjust cause, of ofience toi

especially when it is addressed to a new Con-
gressj tne wnoie scope pi our political con
cerns naturally comes into view j that errors,
"if sMch have been committed, maybe correc
c!i that defects,' which lytye become ( mani
fest, r0" remedied ; and on the other
hand, that measures which wrc adopted, on
due deliberation, and which experience has
shewn are just in themselves, and essential to
the public welfare, should be persevered in
and supported. . In performing this neressa
ry and very important duty, ; I shall endeavor
to place before yoo, on its merits every sub
ject that is thought to be entitled to your
particular attention, in as distinct and clear a
light as I may be able. . i i .. c
By arict 9C the;3d.of Klarch, 1815, so
much of the several acts as imposed higher
duties oh the tonnage. of foreign vessels, and
on the manufacture and productions of for
rijn nations, when imported into the United
Mates iu foreign vessels, than when imported
in vessels of the United States were repeal
ed, so far.as respected the manufactures ami
! TTOducuons o; tne. nation to wmai sucn ves-
f ' belonged, on the conthtion, that the repeal j
should take effect only.in ifavor of anv-foreign'
nitiou, when the Executive should be satisfi
. 4d that such discriminating duties, to. the dis
advantage of the United States, Wd likewise
been repealed by such nation, lfy this act a
projosition wns made to ill nations to place
fur commerce with each bfi a basis,' wluVh, it
. nas'presumed, would be acceptable to all.
I'.verv nation was allowed to bring its manu
factures and productions into'our portsrahd
to take the manufactures and productions; of
the United States back to tlieir ports, in their
own vessels, on the same conditions that they
irirht be t;-ansported in vesHsof the United
States ; and, in return, it was required that a ;
accuuiiiiuuauou suuuiu uc gramcu iu uic
vessels. cf the Umted'States in. the ports of
o:hcr powers. The articles to be admitted,
or prohibited, ort either side, formed no part
of the proposed arrangement. Jlach. party
would retain the t right, to admit or prohibit
1 . , j .f . 1 .1 t .
sucn articles trotn ine otner, as u- uiougiui
proper, and on its Own conditions. , , 7
When die nattfe of the commerce between
the U. States arid every other country was
u.ken intd view, it was'jhpught that this pro
nation would be considered fair, andTven
ii:er.d, by every" power. The exports of tlie
United States consist generally of art'icesrof
the first necessity, and of rude; materia in
Mtiriarwl for foi-eign. manufactories, of great
bulk, rcqinring for their .transportation many
vessels,', the return, for which, m the manufac
ti;rcs and productions of any foreign country,
even when diposed of there to advantage,
iaay be -brought' in a single vessel. This ob
servation is more especially applicable to
Iho&ocouxilries from "which Ciahufactiires. a
lone are imported, but it applies, in ti great j
rartentrto the European dominions of every -
r.uropcan poweri and, in a certain extent, to
all the coloniesrf those'powers.' -By placirg,
tlen, tlie navigation , precisely n the same
jound, in the. transportation of' ex ports and
iaipovts,.; between the . I). (States and other
countnes, it was presumed .that U was offer
ed which could be desired. - 'it seemed to be
the 00I- proposition wrjich could be devised,
which would 'retain even the semblance of
equality in our favor. . . -, . '
Many cdusideratlons of great weight gave
u iiui iu expecv mat tius commerce
should W extended to the colonies, .'as' Veil
as to the Eiffopean 1 dominions,' of other pow
z ers. .Vth the latter, 'especially with ..couri
; tries exclusively manufacturing, the advanr
tage was 'manifestly on their side. V- An iri-
deninity for that Ipss w;as expected from i
, .bade with the colonies, 'and,' with tlie tfreatei;

vd'vantaff of pthers, but on coiulitkn',e- . - without a direct and palpfblei breach of our
lily applicable to all, it seems just that the l j jav. s. It is knbwnthat a regular - systematic'

carried thither in the vessels of the ' country
affording such supply, and that the recipro-
t i t n i, : : i,
tnj biiouki dc iouna mra corresponaing ac

Ing each party to participate in trie transpor
tation of such supplies, on the pavment of
equal tonnage, a' strong proof was afforded of ;
i - . . i ... i
an accojnmoaaung spim. . i o aoannon to jr
the transportation tf -the whole would be a'
sacrifice which ought not to" be expected.
The damarid, It the present instance, would
bethsmore unreasonable, in -consideration1

. Such 'was1 the. basis9 of our "system, as
established by the - act of 1815, and such its
true character. In the year in which this act
,was passed, a treaty WSL9 y concluded with
Great Brrtiahi in strict conformity with its
principles, in regara to ner European aomm
10ns. To her dolonies,. however,-m thev West
Indies and on this continent ft was riot ex-'
tended, the British GoArnmerit claiming the
exclusive, supply of those ' colonies, and from
oul own ports," and of the productions ipf the
colonies in return, in her own Vessels. To
this claim the jtJnited .States couli notasseht,
and, in consequence, each party suspended
the intercourse; iri the Vessels cftthe other, by
a prohibition, jvhich still exists' ;
The ' sameconditions' were .offered to
France, but not accented " rHer Government

been lop pending, such is tlie diversity of 1
views entertained, on the various points, which
have been brotjght into discussion, that there
aoes not appear to Dei any reasonaoie pros

It is my "duty to state', as a, cause of verjv
preat regret, that; ven 'serious . differences

ing the cchsruction of 'tlve 8th article of the
Treaty of 1 80S,1 whereby Louisiana w'as ced

! ing. the seizure of the Apollo, in 1820, fora
MibIation of our revenue laws; The claim of
the Government ot;'tance has 'excited not
lessl,surprise than concern because j there

As little " eause hasu ihe. Government of

adopt that measure.) On, I the. contrary, it is

jurisdiction of Spain may be said to have been,
almost exclusively,, confined tb her garrison's.
It certainly could not extend tb places where
she: had no authority.' The rules therefore,
applicable to settled countries, governed by
laws, could not be deemed soj to the deserts
of Florida, and to the occurrences there. It
merits attention, also, tljat. the Territory had
been Ceded to thetJ. S.;byia. eaty,' th ra
tification of which had not, been refused and
which has since been performed. Under such
circumstances, therefore, Spain became . less
responsible for such acts committed there and
the U. S. more at liberty to exercis authority,
to prevent so great a"mischiefl The cpnduct of
tliis Government has, in every instance, been
conciliatory and friendly to! France. The con
struction of our revenue law, in its applica
tion to the cases, which have formed the
irround bf such serious complaint on her part.
and the order, to the Collector of St-Mary's,
in accord with it,, were given tto years be
fore these cases occurred,1. :jand in reference
to' a: breacli, which was - attempted by- the
subjects of another power. Its; application,
therefore, to the cases in question wasf ine
vitable.! As soon as the ; treaty by which
these provinces were ceded to the U. States,
was ratified, and all danger of further breach
- i ; i . i '
ot our revenue jaws ceased, an order, was gi
ven for the release of the vessel, .which had
! been seized, and for the dismission of the li
bel, which'hM been instituted against her. .,
: The principles of this system of reciprocj
: ty, founded on the law of I the 'Sd of JVIarch,
1815, have been since carried into effect, witli
th e Kingdom - of the Netherlands, p weden
Prussia; and with Hamburgh, .Brerhen, v Lu
