Feb. i7, 182* 8 —St T he President's Message. rntdm From late English p ipers received at hor lest on bp the holla Rookh. htc. 27. 1 he Spee h ot ihe President of ihe U"filed Stair is, in ail its bear . gs,a doeumeni of more than usual importi.ncr. I'helaitei pail, which arrived sj litie yesterday thaf we we e forced f© omit it in a small part i.fotir impression, will be iouyd io our last day ; and waiving very other tepie in the Speech, we direct our whole attention to that part the most important of all to ev ery European Power. f'ne question of the Independence and recognition of the S-mth Aine rican States, may now’ lie consider ed as at rest Great Britain lias, as we have repeatedly shewn, ac knowledged heir lndepende .ee de facto : and * lie United States, their :earrsl neighbors, have not only ac knowledged it. but have given a bold and manly notice, to the Cootiuental Powers, that they shall treat “any interposition wi h the view of op pressing or controlling them in any manner, as a manifestation of an unfriendly disposition towards them selves—a and as danger us to their peace and safety,**—in other words, they shall view it n*.affording them a Just ground for war. After so dear and explicit a warning, there is no one of the Con tinental Powers, we suppose, that will risk a war with the United Slates—a war in which not only they could not expect to have either the aid or good wishes of Great Bri tain—hut a war in which the good wishes of Great Britain, (if she did n:t choose to give moce effideut succour,) would he all oo tlie side of ihe United States,—Thus, then, we repeat, that the question mav be considered to he set at rest; we shall bear <> more of a Congress to settle *hc fate of the South Ameri can Sides. Protected by the two nations hat possess the iusfi uiions, and speak the iunguago of freedom, bv tireaf Bcjtaln on one side, and hy the T T tiled Stale* on the other, *h“ir hid n pe'>d< , n> e is pkt*#d beyond ’he danger ; and tiie Uo - hienfHl p‘wc>‘-, un hie to harm - ?liem, wi s? l< wII to estahUsli that 5 ; Vjrnd ! v 4 .:d ■•"••‘iinertq ii iolercoui te i *vifh tltemi wh< h never < oild ; have done had they remained under ilie yoke of Old Spastd t liiere i* one mory point in tke President’s Spee.-h. vvhi *U we shall t*iu*h um>Q shortly. Il relates to part of the onrihwest coast °f Ame rica. whi-h was tirat explored, we fiefiev©, bv Captain C ok. Russia nad set up *ome territorial claims w*i< h neither Great Br itain nor the United St ites onull submit to. They <r*e now the subject of an amicable oegoriation betw fn the tiirte Pow ers. But Ameri aha* pro per to lay down m limine the prin ciple “that the American continents, by the free and independent condi tion which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future co lonization hy any European Pow ers.” What effect this notice to the Emperor ot Russia, that he must abandon his favorite project of ma kinga settlement upon tie American coast, will produ e, we are yet to learn. Bit we trust thus a similar notice with respeit to any project of making settlements elsewhere will no? be necessary,— Courier. Tl.e President’s Message to the Congress of the United statfcs JL oa* the 2d instant, has reached this, country, ii is impossible to avoid remarking the essential difference between this periodical communica tion from the Executive Govern ment of the fi)S Republic in the world to iis Legislature, and those documents which are termed King’s Speeches, addressed ir like manner, but in substance far unlike, to Lords and Commons, to Peers. lies, in kingdoms nearer home. Phe latter dassof discourses,having for their apparent object to dude i : quiry and to disarm animadversion, may be looked upon as a complimen tary form between parties who are thrown together by overruling ne cessity, and who meet under feelings of reciprocal susphdon aod distrust As sources of intelligence—as indi cations of policy—as keys to nation al history, they have of late dwin dled to nothing, realizing with ac curacy Talleyrand’s definition of the use of language—“au instrument for concealing aie.Ts thoughts.” l iie genius of a popular Govern ment rejects iliese mysterious devi ces, whi< h we are sorry toseepra(3- tised amongst anv people alive to the natural and almost indissoluble intimacy between frank ess of speech and red rude of action.— l'he President’s Message of the United Slates ii a paper breathing business in every line. It is at on* e a picture of the period elapsed since the labors of Congress were last in terrupted, a prospectus for the forth coming year, the derailed report of a commissioner, and the formal ac count of a trustee. Oo scarcely any occasion do we a mes suge from this high officer of the U. States, delivered during a lime of peace, which might no bo consulted as a safe and pregnant authority for the events and polities of the crisis at which it was made public, vvbe tber with regard to the concerns f the Union, or ia those of surround ing nations. In the present instance, we have read this State Paper with an interest more profound than any of its precursors had excited. The foreign relations of the United States are at this moment so deeply involved with those of Europe, of South America, a;d of England, that we turned impatiently to that division of the Mestage, and it well repaid us. Times. Liverp olm Jan. 2. The message of the President of * the United States of America, which arrived here on Saturday last, is a i document af unusual, and, we mm? ! add, of in calculable importance in a political, coinmercal, and moral p int of view. £t it equally honor ► able io the free andiir os porous peo , pip with whom it irigioated, and } gratifying to our iountrymen, to whom if presents, at the same time, the most cheering commercial pros pects, and a most useful political les son, whi*h sooner or later must have tho most salutary efieet. ‘This manly, aide, and rational state paper, will ad like a two edged sword for the protection of the infant liberties of Colombia. It will encourage the British Cabinet to as sume a decisive attitude ; whilst the Bourbons will, in the same degree, and fr tn the same cause, become dispirited, arid in all probability, ab&rtdou their criminal design to rc f iJahlish despotism and bigotry on the other side >f the Atlantic. So important, in nir view, is the mes sage of Mr. Monroe, that, if this country remain at peace with tbe continental powers (which in all probability she will now do) we are of opinion that so fortunate a cir cumstance will be mainly owing to the firm a>d unreserved expression of the determination oi* the United States with respect to tbe southern cub rues.

A tax on all attornies, who are pot able to prove, that, in the course of a year’s practice, one eighth ot ‘their income was got honestly, which from my knowledge af the fact, would produce half a million. A tax on liars, which, on an aver age of only one in a hundred bsi g a man of truth, would produce a sum, not less than sufficient to pay the national debt in two years, A lax on every person that went to an Italian opera, who did not un derstand the la igiiage ; on every person who attended r, concert, wi!fa out a knowledge o § music ; ami on a!L persons sleeping tit Church; might produce in one year 500,000} A fax on ail gentlemen who boast ed of female favours that they never received. This on an average, might be computed a tax on 9999 men out of ten thousaud wlm had attained the age of twenty-one years; and would produce, at a moderate interest, per capitum, an annual rev enue of ? 00,0001. v A tax on white necks, red cheeks, ami lily hands, with a draw back on proving where the pencil of nature was the only artist, to be oilected at the play-houses, Ranelagh, Vaux hall- Kensington and other places of public diversion, exclusive of demi reps who paint in tbe way of trade, would produce, in the female world, fifty out of every sixty, and among the men, four out of every twenty, liable to import. I reckon this at *09,000. A tax on all slander and back-bi ting ; one methodise to he consider ed four citutvhincn, would pro duce at a penny per bead, ninety nine person* out of every hundred in the kingdom as subject to the duty. A tax on all gentlemen aoaubmen, which, considering ibe immense in crease of great coats, with eigh canes, would produce, at least 500, 0001- per annum. A tax on all young gentlemen, who had gt an university cdu- a tiou, and made the grand tour, but who could not construe an ode of Horace, or tell io what part of the world tbe Alps lay. This on com pulation might produce 200,0001. yearly. A tax ob ail gentlemen and la dies, indiscriminately, who could not tell, on being aked, in what part of holy writ the Revelations and the first chapter of Genesis are. This, in the west end of London, would produce something worth the col lection. A tax on every citizen of London who eats more than two pounds of solid meat in twenty four hours. This tax as it would prevent apo plexies, and add considerably to tbe revenue, I thought a very salutary one. But you observing that the al dermen would make up the dcli cico y, ia order to evade the tax, by eating pics, puddings, turtle soups, jellies, fc 3. I took that artiete back to reconsider, and have totally for got to look into it. A tax on mock visits, pretended ailments of the body, fictitious he id aches, false alarms of pregnancy, and other incidental mm-entilies in women of fashion, might render six in ten throughout the higher nod se cond orders of the female world lia ble to duty. 4 tax on healthy and sound con stitutions among men of fashion. 1 pointed this duty particularly on the first rank, because with them it is considered a luxury- I dropped it, however, as you may recollect, be cause, on consideration, it would not pay the fees of collecting.
