By this operation, n sum of r early half a million of dollars may bo saved to die naifen; and the discharge of the ttb.de thirty-one millions wijhin the four years maybe greatly facilitated, if not wholly.ac complished. /By an act of congress of 3d March, 1825, « loan, for tho purpose now referred to, or a subscription to stock, was authorized at an in terest not exceeding four and a half per cent. But, at that time, so largo a portion of the float ing capital of the country was absorbed in .com mercial speculations, and so litllo was left for investment in the stocks, that tbo measure was but partially successful. At the last ses sion of congress, the condition of tlio funds was still unpropitiou* to the measure; but the change so soon afterwards occurred, thti't had the authority existed to redeem the nine mil lions now redeemable by an exchange of stocks, or a loan at live per cent, it is morally certain that it might have been effected, and with it a. yearly saving of ninety thousand dollars. their second report, containing a genetal plan, and preparatory estimate for the work, the committee of the house of representatives upon roads and canals closed the session with a re port, expressing the hope that the plan and es timate of the board of engineers might at this timo bo prepared, and that the subject he re ferred to the early and favorable consideration of congress at their present session.

But to the war, department aro attributed other duties, having indeed relation to a futuro possible condition of war, but being purely de fensive, and in their tendency contributin'* ra- .thcr to tho security and permanency of nSace: Tlio erection of tho fortifications provided for by-congress, and adapted to secure our shores » om hostile invasion: The distribution of the fund of public gratitude and justice to the pen sioners of tho revolutionary war: Tito mainte nance of our relations of peace and of proiec- tion with tlio Indian tribes: And tho internal . improvements and surveys for tho location of roads and canals, which during tho last three sesstousofeongress have engaged so much of the,ratten,mn and may engross so large a share of their future benefactions to our country By the act of tho SOtli of April, 1824, sue- - gestedand approved by my predecessor, the sum ot thirty thousand dollars was appropriated for the purpose of causing to bo made tho ne cessary sarveys, plans, and estimates, of tho routes of such roads and canals as the presi dent of the United States might deem of na- tional importance in a commercial or military point of view, or necessary for the transporta tion of the public mail—tho surveys, plans, and estimates, for each, when completed, to sc laid before congress. In execution of this act, a board of engi neers was immediately instituted, and have been since most assiduously and constantly occupied, w camring it into effect. Tho first objbet to which their labors were directed, by order of the late president, was the examination of tho country between tho tide waters of the Poto- mac, tbaOhio, and. Lake Erie, to ascertain tho practicability of a communication betwcon them, to designate.tho most suitable route for the same, and to.form plans and estimates in dcmil of the expenso of the execution. On tho 3d .of February, 1825, they made Ibc-ir first repor.t, which was immediately edm- awfertji tpjoagrtn,, and in which thby do- • clarcd that, having maturely considered ihe circumstances observed by them personally, and carefully studied thp results of such of the- preliminary surveys os were then comDfete,? they were decidedly of opinion that the com’ mumcation was practicable. S C ,aS ‘ SCS3 '° n of con ? TCSS . before ihe board of engineers wore enabled to make up ciple of which the act of 29lh April, 1816, was the first developement. It was the introduc- lion of a system to act upon the character and history of our country for nn indefinite series of ages.. It was a declaration of that congress to their constituents and to posterity, that it was the destiny and the duty of these' confed erated states, to become, in regular process of time, and by no petty advances, a great naval power.- That, which thoy proposed to accom plish in eight years, is rather to bo considered as tho measure of thoir means, than the limitation of their design. Thoy looked forward for a term of years.sufficient for the accomplishment of n dofinito portion of their purpose; and thoy left to their successors to fill up the canvass of which thoy haditracod the largo and prophetic outlino. Tlio -ships of tho line, and frigates, which they had in contemplation, will be short ly completed. The timo which they had al lotted for tho accomplishment of tho work has more than elapsed. It remains for your con sideration, how their successors may contribute thoir portion of. toil and of treasure for the benefit of tho succeeding age, in the gradual increase of our navy. There is, perhaps, no part of thp. exercise of tho constitutional pow ers of tho fcdoral government, which has given more general satisfaction to the people of the union than this. The system has not been thus vigorously introduced, and hitherto sustain ed, to be now departed from, or abandoned. In continuing to provide, for tho gradual in crease of the navyj it may hot be necessary or expedient to add for the present any more to ihe number of our ships; but should you deem it advisable to continue tho yearly appropria- tion of half a million to the *amo objects, it iqay bo profitably expended, in providing-a supply of timber to be seasoned, and other materials for future use; in tho construction of docks, or in laying the' foundations of a school for naval education,, as to the wisdom of con gress either of these measures may appear to claim the preference. Of thio small portions of this Navy, engaged n actual service during the peace,‘squadrons have continued to be maintained in the Pacific Ocean, in the West India Seas, and in the „ . Icditcrranean;, to which has been added a ‘youth, small armament, to cruise on tho Eastern Coast of South America. In all they have af forded protection to our commerce, have con tributed to make our country advantageously ployed multitudes of our seamen in the service of tlicir country, and have inured numbers of youths of .the rising generation to lives of man ly hardihood and of nautical experience and skill. The piracies with which the West In dia Seas were for several years infested, have been totally suppressed. But in the Mediter ranean, they have increased in a manner af flictive to other nations, and but for the con tinual presence of our squadron, would proba bly have been distressing to our own. The war which has unfortunately broken out be tween the Republic of Buenos Ayres and the Brazilian Government, has given rise to very great irregularities among the Naval Officers of the latter; by whom principles in relation to blockades, and to neutral navigation, have been brought forward, to which we cannot subscribe, and which our own commanders have found it necessary tq resist: From the friendly disposi tion towards the United States, constantly man ifested by the Emperor of Brazil, and the very useful and friendly commercial intercourse Be tween the United States and his Dominions, we have reason to believe that the just repara tion demanded for the injuries sustained by several of our citizens from some of bis offi cers, will not bo withheld. Abstracts from the recent despatches of die Commanders of our several squadrons, are communicated with the Report of tho Secretary of tho Navy to Con gress. A Report from the Pos master General is likewise communicated, presenting in a highly ly satisfactory manner the result of a vigorous, efficient, and economical administration of that Department. The revenue of the office, even of the year including the latter half of 1824, and the first half of 2825, bad exceeded its ex penditures by a sum of more than forty-five thousand dollars. That of the succeeding year has been still more productive. The in crease of the receipts, in the' year precedin'* the first of July last, over that of the year before, exceeds one hundred and thirty-s x thousand dollars, and the excess of the re ceipts over the oxperiditu-cs of the year has swollen from forty-five thousand to nearly, eighty thousand dollars. During the same pe riod, contracts for additional transportation of the mail, in stages, for about two hundred and sixty thousand miles, have been made, and for seventy thousand miles, annually, on horse back. Seven hundred and fourteen new Post Offices have been established within the year; and the increase of revenue within’the las! three years, as well as tho augmentaiion of the transportation by mail, is more than equal to the whole amount of receipts, and of mail con veyance, at tho commencement of ihe present century, when the seat of the General Gov eminent was removed to this place. When we reflect that the objects cffecied-by the trans portation of the mail are among tho. choicest comforts and enjoyments of social life, ft is pleasing to observe, that the dissemination of them to every corner of our country, has out stripped in their increase even the rapid march of our population. By the Treaties with France and Spain, respectively ceding Louisiana and thc-Floridas to the United States, provision was made for* the security of land titles derived from the Governments of those nations. Some pro gress has been made, under the authority of various Acts of Congress, in the ascertain ment and ostahlishrfient of those titles- but claims to a very large extent remain unadjusted. The public faith, no less than the just rights of individuals, and the interest of the communi ty itself, appears to require further provision for the speedy settlement of these claims, which I therefore recommended to • tho care and ayention of the Legislature. In conformity with tho provisions of the art of 20th May last, to provide for erectin'* a Penitentiary in the District of Columbia, and for other purposes, three Commissioners were appointed to select a site for the erection of a Penitentiary for the District, and also a site in the couftty of Alexandria for a county Jail* both of which objects have been effected.— The building of the Penitentiary has been commenced, and is in such a degree of forward ness as to promise that it will bo completed before the meeting of tho next Congress— 1 his consideration points Jo the expediency of maturing, at the presont session, a system for tho regulation and government of the Peni tentiary, and of defining tho class of offonces which shall be punishable by confinement in this edifice. Inclosing this communication, I trust that it will not be deemed inappropriate to the occasion and purposes upon which we are here assembled, to indulge a momentary retrospect, combining, in a single glance, tho period of our origin as National Confederation with that of our pre sent existence, at tho precise interval of half we not humbly hopo that to them, too, it was a pledge of transition from gloom to glory ; and that while their mortal vestments were sinking into the clod of the valley, their eman cipated spirits were ascending to the bosom of their God.
