November 17——ids WASHINGTON CITY, NOV. 15. The Message —of tire President of the United States . ■ To both Houses, at the opening of the Second Session of the Six teenlh Congress—transmitted by Mr. James Monroe, join. • Fellow Citizen t of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives : •• 9 # In commit nicuting{to{you ajustvrcw of pi blic affairs, at the commence ment of your present labors, I do it with great satisfaction? because, tak ing all circumstances into considers . tion whichclaim attention.l sec mucli , cause to rejoice in the felicity of our i situation. In making this remark, I 1 do not wish to be understood to im ply that an unvaried prosperity is to be seen in .every interest of this great community, in the progress of a na tion, inhabiting a territory of such vast extent and great variety of cli -1 mate, every portion of which is en s gaged in foreign commerce, and lia ble’to be affected, in some degree, by the changes which occur in the condi tion and regulations of foreign coun tries, it weidd be strange, it the pro i duce of our soil and the industry and enterprise of our fellow citizens re ceived at all times, and in every quar ter, an uniform and equal encourage ment. This would Ire more than we , have a right to expect, under circum stances the most favotable, Pres sures on certain interests, it is ad ■ mitted, have been felt; but, allow ing to these their greatest extent, they detract but litle from the force f the remark already made, In ; forminga just estimate of our p/esent situation, it is proper to look jit the whole; in the outline, as we| as in the detail A free, virtuous, apd en lightened people know well the great principle and causes on which their happiness depends; and even those who suffer most, occasionally, in their transitory concerns, find great relief under their sufferings from the blessings which they otlwwise enjoy, and in the consoling aid ani mating hope which they admiiister. From whence do these prissures come? Not from a government;which is founded by, administered Pjr, and supported bv, the people. Wfc trace them to the peculiar character* of the epoch m which we live, ami to the extraordinary occurrences 'which have signalized it The convtlsions with which several of th# powers of Europe have been shaken, and the long and destructive wars' in which all were engaged, with their,sudden transition to a state of peace, present, ing, in the first instance, unusual en couragement to our commence, and withdrawing it in the second, even within Its wonted limit, could not fail to be sensibly felt here. Thfe sta tion too, whic i we had to support through this long conflict, compelled, as we were, finally, to become a par ty to it with a principal power; and . to make great exertions, suffer heavy losses, ayd to contract considerable debts, disturbing the ordinary course of affairs, bv augmenting, to a vast amount, the circulating medium, and thereby elevating, at one time, the price of every article above a just standard, and depressing it at ano ther below it, had likewise its due effect. It is manifest that the pressures of which we complain have proceeded, in a great measure, from these cause’s. When, then, we into view the prosperous and happy condition of our country, in all the great circum stances which constitute the felicity of a nation?—every individual fix the full enjoyment of all his right; the Union blessed with plenty, and ra pidly rising to greatness, umlera na tional government, which operates with complete effect in every part, without being in any, except by the ample protection which it affords ami under state which perform their equal share, according to a wise distribution of power be tween (hem, in promoting the public [ happiness—it is impossible to behold - so gratifying, so glorious a spectacle. without being penetrated with the : most profound and grateful acknow . legraents to the Supreme Author of all good for such manifold and ines timable blessings. Deeply impress- I ed with these sentiments, I cannot regard the pressures to which I have adverted otherwise than in the light of mild and instructive admonitions; warning us of dangers to be shunued in future; teaching us lessons of eco nomy, corresponding with the sim ’ piicity and pUqty of our institutions, . and best adapted to their support;— evincing the connection and depen dence which the various parte of our t happv Union have on each other, . thereby augmenting daily our social incorporation, and adding, by its strong ties, new strength and vigor .i to the political; opening a wider • j range, and with new encouragement I i to the industry and enterprise ol our • fellow-citizens at home and abroad; and more especially by the multiplied proofs which it has accumulated oi the great perfection of our most ex cellent system of government, the powerful instrument, in the hands of 1 an all merciful Creator, in securing to ns these blessings. Happy as our situation is it does not exempt us from solicitude and care for the future. On the contrary, as the blessings which we enjoy are s great, proportumably great should be oar vigilance, zeal, and activity to r preserve them. Foreign wars may again expose us to new wrongs, which would impose on us new duties, for which we ought to be prepared. The r state *f Europe is unsettled, and how long peace mav be preserved, is j altogether uncertain; in addition to which, we have interest of our own lo adjust, which will require particu ’ tar attention. A correct view of our relations with each power will enable I you to form a just idea of existing difficulties, and of the measures of ’ precaution best adapted to them* t Respecting oar relations with Spain, . nothing explicit can now be communica ted. On the adjournment of Congress in May last, the Minister Plenipotentiary of the United Slates, at Madrid, was in * structed to inform the government of Spain that, if His Catholic Majesty should r then ratify the treaty; this government would accept the ratification, so far as to submit to the decision of the Senate the question whether such ratification should be received in exchange for that of the 1 Uhited States, heretofore given. By let tens from the Minister of the U States, to the Secretary of State, it appears,, that a communication, in conformity with his instruction*, had been made to the gov eminent of Spain, and that the Cortes had the subject under consideration. The re sult of the deliberations of that body, which is daily expected, will be known to Congress as soon as it is recei ved. The friondly sentiment which was expressed on the part of the U. States, in the message of the 9ih of May last, is still entertained for Spain. Among the causes of regret, however, which are in separable from the delay attending this transaction. it is proper to state, that aat ■factory information has been received that measures have been recently adopt ed by designing persons, to convert cer tain parts of the province of East Florida in*o depots for the reception of foreign goods, from whence to smuggle them in to the United States. By opening a port within the limits of Florida, immediately on our boundary, where there was no (sets tlement, the object could not be misunder stood. An early accommodation of dif ferences will, it is hoped, prevent all such fraudulent and pernicious practices and place the relations of the two coun tries on a very amicable and permanent basis. The commercial relations between the United States and the British colonies in the West Indies, and on this continent, have undergone no change; the British government still preferring to leave that commerce under the restriction hereto fore imposed on it; on each side. It is satisfactory to recollect, that the restraints resorted to by the 1 nited States were defensive only, intended to prevent a-mo nopoly under British regulations, in fa vor of Great Britain, as it likewise is, to know that the experiment is advancing in a spirit of amity between the parties. The question depending between the United States and Great Britain, respect ing the construction of the first article of the treaty of Ghent, htt been referred, by both gov, Foments, ro the decision of the Emperor of Russia, who has accept edthe umpirage. An attempt has been made with the go vernment of France, to regulate, by trea ty, tl\« commerce between the two coun tries, on the principle of reciprocity and equality. By the last communication from the Minister Plenipotentiary of the Uni ted States at Paris, to whom full power had given, we learn.that the negoti ation had been commenced there, but, se rious difficulties having occurred, the French government had resolved to trans fer it to the United States, for which pur pose the Minister Plenipotentiary of France had been ordered to repair to this city, and whose arrival might soon be ex pected. It is hoped that this important interest inay be arranged on just condi tions, and in a manner equally satisfactory ’ to both parties. It is submitted to Con gress to decide, until such arrangement ■ is made, how far it may be proper, on the - principle ol the act of th; last session, , which augmented the tonnage duty on French vessels, to adopt other measures ■ for carrying more completely into effect ■ the policy of the act. . The act referred to which imposed new ( tonnage on French vessels, having been in force from and after the first day of Ju ’ !y, it has happened that several vessels of ! that nation which had been dispatched from France before its existence was I was known, have entered the ports of r the United States, and been subject to * its operation; without that previous notice ’ which the general spirit of our laws gives ' to individuals in similar casc-a. The oh- I ject tis that law having been merely to , countervail the inequalities which existed . to the disadvantage of the United States, in their o mmercial intercourse with .. France, it is submitted also to the con r side-ration of Congress, whether, in the * spirit of amity and conciliation which it is - no less the inclination than the policy of f the United States to preserve in their , intercourse with other powers, it may ' not be proper to extend relief to the in c dividuals interested in those cases, by ex -5 erupting from the operation of the law all I those ‘vessels which have entered our . ports without having had the means of . previously knowing the existence of the additional duty * The contest between Spain and the Colonies, according to the most authen tic information, is maintained by the lat r ter with improved success. The unfortu ', -nate divisions which were known to ex I 84 some time since at Buenos Ayres, it is B understood, still prevail. In no part of South America has Spain made any im pression on the Colonies, while in many r parts and particularly in Venezuela and t New Grenada, the Colonies have gained r s,r cngth and have acquired reputation. , both for the management ofthe war, in j which they have been successful, and for the order of the internal administration. Th« late change io the government of Spain, By the re-establishment of the con stitution of 1812, is an event which pr%nv • ises to be favorable to the revolution Under the authority of the Cortes, tin Congress of Angostura was invited to open a negociation for the settlement of differ ences between the parties, to which it was replied, that they would willingly open the negotiation, provided the ac knowledgment of their independence was male its basis, but not otherwise. Oi further proceedings between them we ar. uninformed. No tacts are known to this government, to warrant the belief, that any of the powers of Europe will taxe part in the contest; whence may be inferred, considering all circumstances, which must have weight in producing the result, that an adjustment vdll finally take place, on the basis proposed by the Colo ( nics. To promote that result, by friendly counsels, with other powers, including Spain herself, has been the uniform polic 1 of this government. In looking to the internal concerns of our country, you will, I am persuaded, derive much satisfaction from a view of ■ the several objects to which, in the dis charge of your official duties, your atten tion will be drawn. Among these, none holds a more important place than the public revenue, from the direct operation of the power, by which it is raised, on the ■ people, and by its influence in giving ef fect to every other pow£r of the govern • ment The revenue depends on the re sources of the country, and the facility by which the amount repaired is raised, is a strong proof of the extent of the resour ces, and of the efficacy of the government. A few prominent facts will place this great interest in a just light before you. On the 30th of September, 18,15, the fund ing and flouting debt of the United States was estimated at one hundred and nine teen millions six hundred and thirty five thousand and fifty eight dollars. —ls to this-sum be added the amount of five per cent Stock subscribed to the dank of the United States, the amount of Mississippi stock, and of the s*ock which WUB «oW<jnon iy to that date, the [ balances ascertained to bedue to certain states, for military services, and to in dividuals, for supplies furnished, and sur vices rendered, during the late war, the public debt may be estimated as amount ing, at that date, and as afterwards liqui dated, to one hundred and fifty-eight milions seven hundred and thirteen thou sand forty nine dollars. On the 30th of September, 1820; it amounted to ninety one milllons|nine hundred and ninety-three thousand eight hundred and eighty-three dollars, having been reduced in that in terval, by payments, sixty-six millions eight hundred and aeventy-nine thousand one hundred and sixty-five'dollars. During this term, the expenses of the govern ment of the United States were likewise defrayed, in every branch of the civil, mi litary, and naval establishments; the public edifices in this city have been rebuilt, with considerabe additions; extensive fortifica tions have been commenced, and are in a train of execution; permanent arsenals and magazines have been erected in vari ous parts of the Union; our navy has been considerably «uginc<.wa, W( ( the ordnance munitions of war, and, stores, or tnc an..,, and navy, whioh were much exausted du ring the war, have been replenished fly the discharge ;of so large a pro portion of the public debt, and the ex tensive and important operations, in so short a time, a just estimate may be formed of the great extent of our na tional resources, The demonstration is the more complete and gratifying, when it is recollected that the direct tax and excise were repealed soon alter the ter mination of the late war, and that the revenue applied to these purposes had been derived almost wholy from other sources. The receipts into the Treasury from every source, to the 30th of Sept, last, have amounted to sixteen millions seven hundred and ninety-four thousand one hundred and dollars and sixty-six cents; whilst the public expenditures, so the same period, amounted to sixteen millions eight hundred and seventy-one thousand five hundred and thirty four dollars and seventy-two cents; leaving in the Treasury, on that dav, a sum es timated at one million nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars. For the probable receipts of the following y ear, 1 refer you to the statement which will be' trans mitted from the Treasury, The sum of three millions of dollars, authorised to be raised by loan, by an act of the last session of Congress, has been obtained upon terms advantageous to the Government, indicating not only an increased confidence in the faith of the nation, but the existence of a large amount of capital seeking that mode of investment, at a rate of interest not ex ceeding five per centum per annum. It is proper to add, that there is now due to the Treasury, for the sale of public lands, twenty-two millions nine hundred and ninety-six thousand five hundred and forty five dollars. In bringing this subject to view, I consider it my duty to submit to Congress, wheth er it would not be adviseable to extend to the purchasers of these lands, in con sideration of the unfavorable change which has occuired since the sales, a reasonable indulgence. It is known that the purchases were made when the price of every article had risen to its greatest height, abd that the instalments are becoming due at a period of great depression. It is presumed that some plan may be devised, by the wisdom of Congress, compatible with the public interest, which would afford great re iHff to these purchasers. Considerable progress has been made., during the present season, in examiring the coast and its various bays aad other inlets; in the collection of materials, an in the construction of fortifications so the defence Os the Union, at several of the positions at which it has been de termined to erect such works. At Mo bile Point and Dauphin Island, and at the Rigolets, leading to Lake Ponchartrain, materials to a considerable amount, have been collected, and all the necessary preparations made for the commence ment of the works. At Old Point Com ' fort, at the mouth of James River, and at the Rip-rap, on the opposite shore in the' Chesapeake Bay, materials to a vast a mount have been collected; and at the Old Point some progress has been made in the construction of the fortification, which is on a very extensive scale. The work at Fort Washington, on this river, will be completed early in the next ' # spring; and that on the Pea-patch, in the -hr 2?
