To the Senate anl> House or Representa tives op the United States. fellow Citizen* cf the Senate, and of the House of Reyreeentativee: js ... , -— ,j uCCU nfpletea sinco tho Representatives of the People and States of this Union were last as- semhlcd at tills place, to deliberate and to net upon the common important interests of their constituents. In that interval, the nc-verslum- heriug eye of a wise and beneficent Providence' has continued its guardian cure over tho wel fare of our beloved country. The blessing of health has continued generally to prevail tliro’- out tlio Jnnd. The blessing ofpeuce with our brethren of the human race, lias been enjoyed without interruption ; internal quiet lias left our fellow- citizens in (he full enjoyment of all their rights, and in tho free exercise of all their faculties, to pursue the impulse oT their* nature, and tho obligation of their duty, in the im provement of their own condition. The pro ductions of ihe soil, the exchanges of com merce, the vivifying labors of human industry/ have combined to mingle in our cup a portion of enjoyment as large and liberal as tlio indul gence of heaven has perhaps ever granted to tho imperfect state of man upon earth’} and as the purest of human felicity consists in its parti cipation with others, iUis no small addition to the sum of cur national happiness, at this time, that peace and prosperity prevail to a degree seldom experienaod over the wholo habitable globe; presenting, though as yet with painful exceptions, a foretaste of that blessed period of gromiso,Tvhen the Jion shall lie. down’with the iamb, and wars shall ho no more. To preserve, to improve, and to perpetuate the sources, anddirecty in theirmost eflectivo chan nels, the streams -which contirbuto to tlio public weal, is the purpose for which govern ment was instituted. Objects of deep impor tance to the welfare of the Union are constantly recurring, to demand tho attention of tlio Fed eral Legislature; and'they call with accumulated interest, at tho’first meeting of tho two Houses, after their periodical renovation. To present in which the interests of tlio nation are most deep ly involved, and for tho regulation of Which the legislative will is alone competent, is a duly prescribed by the Constitution, to tho perform ance of which tho first meeting of the new Con gress is a‘period eminently appropriate, and Which it is now my purpose to discharge. . Our relations of IVciuLhip with tho other Na tions of tho earth, political and commercial, have-been preserve’d unimpaired; and tho op portunities to itoprovo them have been 'cultiva ted with anxious and unremitting attention. A negotiation upon subjects of high and delicate in terest with the government of Great Britain, lias terminated in the’ adjustment of sumo of the questions at issue upon satisfactory terms, and the postponement ofothors for future discussion and ; agreement. Tho purposes of the Conven tion concluded at St. Petersburg, on the 12th day of July, 1822,.under the mediation of the late Emperor Alexander, have been carried iu- to effect, by a subsequent Convention conclu ded at London on the 13th of November, 1826, the ratifications of which were exchange ed at that place on thotith day of February last. A copy of the proclamation issued on tho nineteenth day of March last, publishing this couvention, is herowith communicated to Congrcs*. The sum of twelve lmudred mid four thousand nine hundred and sixty dollars, therein stipulated to be paid to tho claimants of indemnity under tho first Article of tho -Trea ty of Ghent, has been duly Vecoived, nod the Commission instituted conformably to tho act of Congress of tho sccqnd of March last, for the distribution of the indemnity to tho per sons entitled to receive it, are now in session, and approaching the consummation of thoir labors. This final disposal of one of the most painful topics of collision between tho United States and Great Britain, not only affords an occasion of gratulation to outselvcs, but has had theliappicst effect in promoting a friendly disposition, and in softening asperities upon o- ther objects of discussion; Nor ought it to pass without the tribute of a frank and cordial acknowledgement of tho magnanimity with which an honorable nation, by the reparation of their own wrongs,- achieves a triumph more glorious than any field of blood bah ever bc- stow; ^ , The Conventions of 3d July, 1829, and of 20th October, 1818, will expire by their own limitation on the 20th October, 1828. These have regulated the direct commercial -inter course between'tho United Statos and Great Britain, upon terms of the most perfect reci procity; and they effected a temporaiy Com promise of the respective rights ahd claims to territory westward of the Rocky Mountains. These arrangements have been continued for an indefinite period Of time, after tho expira tion of the abovemontioned Conventions; loav- ing each partv the liberty of terminating them bv giving twelve mdnths notico to tho other. The radical principle of all commercial inter course between independent nations, is tho mu tual interest of both oarties. It Is the vital spirit of trade itself; nor can it be reconciled to the naturo of man, or the primary laws of hu man society, that any traffic should long ho Willingly pursued, of Which ull tho advantages are *n one side, and all the burdens on tho'o- ther. Treaties of Commerce havo been found, by experience, to be among tho most effectivo instruments for promoting -peace and harmony between nations whoso interests, exclusively considered on either side, aro brought into fre quent collisions by competition. In framing such treaties, it is the duty of each party, not simply to urgo with unyielding pertinacity that which suits its own interest, but to concede li berally to that which is adapted to the interest of the other. To accomplish this, little more is generalilyrdqttired than a simple observance^ of the’rule Of reciprocity; and were it possi ble foe the statesmen of oue nation, by strata- iiem and rpaniujemeqt. to obtain from the weak- mg treaty, such a compact would prove an in centive to war rather tlinna bond .of peace. Our conventions with Groat Britain aro founded up on the principles of reciprocity. Tho com v mcrcia] intercourse between the two countries is greater in magnitude and ’amount than be tween ni)y two other nations on the globe. It if,’ fbr all'pUrp&sas of benefit or advantage to both, as precious, and in all probability, fir more extensivo than if the oarties were still constituent parts of.one und the sanio nation. Treaties between such .States, regulating the intercourse of pbaco between them; and adjust ing intorests of such transcendant importance to both, which havo been - found, in a lung ex- penance ofy ears, mutually advantageous, should hot be'lightly cancelled or discontinued. Two conventions for continuing in force those a- bovemontioned have .been concluded between the Plenipotentiaries of the two Governments, on the 6th of August lust, and will be forthwith laid before the Senate for the exercise of their constitational authority concerning thorn. In tho elocution of tho Treaties of Peace of November 1782 and September 1783, between tho United Slates and Groat Britain, and which terminated the War or our Independence, n line of boundary was drawn as the dcmurca- tion of toritory between tho two countries, ex* tending over near twenty degrees of latitude, aud ranging over seas, Inkwfnrid mountains, then very imperfectly explored, and scarcely opoued to the geographical knowledge of tho age. In tho progress of-.*discovery aud settle ment by both parties since that time, several questions Of boundary botween their respective Territories, havo arisen, which have been found of exceedingly difficult adjustment. At tho dose of the last war'with Groat Britain four of these questions pressed - themselves upon the consideration of the ncgotiiuors of tho Treaty of Ghent,but without ttod means of concluding a.. ibyi a it i c“. w'li* r .‘«r ‘vw xtthru-svtia rate corrimis* sions, consisting of two Commissioners, one •appointed by each party^’ to-trtwfhiuo and de cide upon their respective claims. In tin e- vent of disagreement betweentho Commission ers, it watqirovided that they should make re ports to thoir Several Govornmenisjamd that tho reports should finally bo referred to tho de cision of a Sovereign the common friend of both. Ofthese Commissions,-two have ulrea- dy terminated their sessions and investigations, one by entire, add the oih«s> by partial agree ment. Tho Commissioner* of the fifih article of tho Treaty i>f Ghent have finally disagreed, and mado thoir confiicting reports to their own Governments. But from these reports n great difficulty "has occurred in making up a question to be decided by the arbitrator, Thi* purpose has, however, heon effected by a fourth Con vention, concluded at London by the Plenipo tentiaries of tho two Governments on the 29rt» of September last. It will be submitted, to gether with the others, to the consideration of tho Senate. Whilo those questjoiv».have boeu pending, in cidents have occurred of conflicting pretensions, and of dangerous character upon the torritory itself in dispute between tho two Nations. By a common understanding between tho Govern ments it was agreed that Ho exercise of exclu sive jurisdiction by cither party, whilo the ne gotiation was pending should change the slate of the quostion of right to bo defiinitively set tled. Such collision has nevertheless recent ly taken placo, by occurrences the preciso cha racter of which has not yet been aicortained. A communication from the Governor of the State of Maine, with accompanying documents and a correspondence between the Secretary of State and the JliBistar .of Great Britain, on this subject, arejRflW. pftmownicated. Meas ures have been takqn U) ascertain the state of tho facts more correctly by'the employment of* special agent to visit the spot where the alleg ed outrage* h*<ui occurred, the resuit of whose enquiries^xfhea; foceived, will be transmitted to Congres*., . i While so riVifrtydf the subjects of high inter- est to the friendly relations between the two countries have been so far adjusted, it is matter of regret thattheirview* respecting tho conamer- tia! intercourse between the United States and tho British Colonial possessions have not Equally approximated to a friendly agreement. At the commencement of the last session of Congress, they were informed ,of ,thA siHideti and unexpected exclusion by the British gov ernment, of access, in Vessels of thb United States, to all thoir colonial ports, except those immediately bordering upon our own Itffritd- ries. In thb amicable Jkctusions which have succeeded the adoption of this Measure, which; as it affei led harshly the interests of the United Statos, became a subject of expostulation oa our part,.&V prillciplos upon which iit justifi cation has Lein placed, have beefl df it diversi fied cblyj£j<<r.
