President of the United

■ 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
