PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
We have received thisimputtunt Slate paper in
lime ouly to give it a Itusty perusal. The eub-
jccit embraced in it, are gcnctally of a character
toorrestthe atteutiou of the American people, and
nre for the most part, handled with the usual dis
regard of consequences vvlpeh ha* marked ihooffi-
clul acts of the present executive. With alt our
respect lurTlia President—be the seme, more or
iess—-we cunnot help expressing the opiniou,
thut throughout iho dociimout, lie Its* labored
rather loo librd to identify his own individual acts
with the dignity ami glory nfftto country. Ho i
however growing old, and.may bo allowed the in
diligence, to some extent, of this little vuuity,
which iu others, would bo more ridiculous.
After passing over very hastily tho present con
dilioii of other Ibrcign countries, ho comes with
lather more mildne.-s than tvus expected to tho uu
fiiftuimtn difficulty with France. Uuvhig alluded
to oil the previous treaties, doings, and urruugu
nienis wliieli huvu been the subject iif prlvuie'douj

caused our charge d’Alluirs ut Paris, to be instt uc.
ted tousk fertile final deter initial ion of the French
Guyerumeut, uml iu file event of their refusal tu
ptiy the itismilineiits nuvv due, wiihuui further ex-
pluuuliou, to return to the United Siutes.”
The cvcM of that application was nol know n
ut the lime tho Alcssugo was sum tu Congress, but
wilt bo made known ti that body in a special coin-
Hiuniuuijun. If wo might licrc indulge u reinuri,,
vrhictl must prove true ur lhhuv according to sub
sequent, circumstances,wo would say that a war
w ho Fiance is mure tlfim probable. Tlte French
goveromenl has hithemi tefused In puy tho'in
demnity without ui: explanation—Ihe President do-
elates lie will have me money, uud that no ex-
planbUon »liall bo made. \\ Hal then is lu be
duou t Tlte arguments which friendly nations
generally use, liavu been tried uud uxituusled—the
price uud perhaps the (onicy uf belli guvermneiits
husbetu moused ; the. King of Ihe French, is tiaid

Although i have no positive infunnation with
which to furnish you as. yet resnecting tho promi
nent subjects that will necessarily occupy the de
liberations of lho approaching Congress*, it may
still not bo uninteresting to your -readers lo bo
made acquuinted^witlithe general impressions and
prevailing runtorii concerning them, which, in all
probability, are really vyclj founded, and of which
it muy justly be eaid*tbut they ure the shadows of
events whoso important coining they announce.
Of all these events, the one about which there
js stili the greatest, uncertainty, is the choice of the
individuul'wbo is to preside, over tho proceedings
of the House. A few days ago, no doubt seemed
to exist id the mind of uny mun, thut John Y.
Mason, of Virginia, hud been selected bv the Ad
ministration .party for that important oHice, aud
his election, therefore, was considered as secure.
Hut now it appear** that so far from his election
having been positively determiacd v by the purty, a
large portion’ of thefn are in favor of Mr. Pol k. of

lie will recommend any definite action ufany kind
I huvu been unable to aseertuiu: but, be his poli
cy what it may, either .tile general expectation L
utterly tiiifotitided, or the tone of the Message
will be,essentially praefic.
As regard a the finances of the Uition, i( is now
pretty well ascertained, that there is at tltis mo
ment a surplus io tiie Treasury of uot less' than
twenty millions ni'dollars, which may probably
lie increased to lliirty before tlte adjournment of
tl(e ensuing Congress.. ThU increase will arise
partly from the accruing revenue of tiie next six
mouths, of which there will surely be ail- excess
of 4 nr 5 millions over the demands nfthe Gov-
ermiicnt,and partly from.tho Stocks still lieldbv
the Government.m toe Hunk ol tlte United Slates.
Ot tiiu income of the past year, upwards of ten
millions ure said to have proceeded from'tho sales
of the public luutla. Tltis unprecedented amimut
however, (Itiore than three times larger titan that
of niiy former year,) constitute* no criterion by
which t. estimate the revenue from the. same
source during the succeodiiig year. Ir is nor pro
bable that the extraordinary spirit nf speculation,
ur tide of emigration, by which the past year has
lieeii disli iguished, will continue to be exhibited,
to nuy tiling like uu equal extent, during Ilia next.
Allowing, however, for a very, large diminution
from this particular source, it will prolmblv lie
nearly if not fully counterbalanced by an increas
ed amount from the customs, so dial we may re-
sonably calculate that there will bo no inutcrinl
dillereoee, certainly not muro than 2 or 3 millions,
between the revenue of this and of succeciiing
years. Willi an existing surplus, then, of up
wards oftweuiy millions, and with every rational
probability ol an enormous accumulation in fu
ture, die important .question arises, witat is to be
done with this vast amo'uut of treasure, acknowl
edged ou ull bauds to be ituucec^sary for any le
gitimate ur constitutional purposes of Govern
ment.. ■re'- - ■’
Common sense nnd common justice dictate dull
instead of allowing this fund to accumulate, with
a view tu its application to die corrupt purposes of
party, one of two -measures ought to be adopted ;
eillierHint provision slnluld be made by law for
an equitable distribution ol'ihesurplusamuugst the
Hiatus, or for such a reduction of duties us will
bring' dowti th«'revenue to tbo standard of an
eeotmmipal administration ofnllairs. The luitcr
is by fur,tlte best, und it is with no little satisfac
tion.dferelnru, diet 1 have understood thut ifis tlte
iutemiou oflho ceeretary of the Trcusuary to re
euiumi-od a general re.lnciiou of duties, not only
by augmenting the list of free articles, but liy re
ducing the om.es uu such protected, articles os
may be byst able to sustain u diminution. Ail
tltis, il is true, limy bo unly intended us u~ political
trap, Jl die Boutli catch ut the overture, they
may be charged will; .a violation of tho eonipru-
tniov. ’ if they refuse, it wili be triumphanlty said
that the oiler was made, und that they hud not die
sense to accept it. In the mean time the existing
surplus is to be disposed ul by being '

We- condense ihe fidlowiug intelligence from
tlte correspondence of the New Orleans Bulletin,
’i’lie letter i* dated Rrazuriu, Nov. 14,1833.
A pony of colonists marched from Goliad a-
gaittsl tlte Mexican military post of the Nueces,
and not a vestige of, it now remains, which the
fire could destroy.
Bexar has.been fortified by General Cos, who
iccitpies the place with seven hundred Mexican
troop*. The Town has been surrounded with,
ditches five .foci in depth, and nenr twelve broad,
mid the earth hunt them has been thrown up in
side—o as to form no efficient defence. Artille
ry are mounted upon-the top of the gn at church
and other advantageous positions. The garri
son have twenty-eight pieces of cannon. :
Themniti ottny of the colonists, under tire com
mand of Gen jHepheii F.-Austin, .aud numbering
near one thousand men, are now besieging the
piitec; but they, huve but five pieces of caiiuun,
and Uqne'oflhem exceeding six pnuuds calibre.—
Thn tvhole nrniy are now. waiting the arrival of
a twelve pound gun-ade, which it is hoped will
he suffickut to knock tlowu the enemies defenc
es.
The Jong eighteen pounder which came from
New Cfrlenns, iinliiitunalely, was not accompa
nied by any siiqt fitiiugiu calibre, and this little
oversight will cost the country a- delay and ex
pense greater than the loss of fifty guns. And
tltis is uot ull—forif tho twelve puumter should
not 'prove stifficient to demolish the enemy's
-works, the place must bn taken by assault, ut-the
expense of ihe live* of iminy lifiive man, whom
both Immunity mid policy cull upon its. to save

These Declarations we solemnly avow to the

R. X. ARCHER, Fresidciit.
Among the msay projects for fuciiilfctlng the
transportation ofproduce andsupplitis taraughout
the State, which now engages the attention of the
Legislature, we observe one that seems, though
little noticed, to be ol considerable importance.—
We allude lo the appropriation asked for to remove
obstructions io the Flint River- The amount
asked, for this pur|tose i* so small that we do not
believe the Legislature would hesitate a moment
to allow if. If the expenditure of ten thousand
dollars will remove the lew shoals, (in ihe Flint
River) principally between Hoiubriilgo and Pin-
riertown, it is but a trifle when compared with the
benefits accruing to tiie citizens of Baker, Lee,
Sumpter, Dooley, Alution, Houston, Crawford
anrlTnlhiit. Heretofore these sltouls (wuich ws -
understand to bo or soft limestone-, anil liaise rock*)
huve been partially removed by individual cxer- V
tion nnd enierpfize, and we certainly think that
in such eases Legislative aid would iioibe iuiprup-
. -The' cotiiuies bordering oil the Flint arc said
he among tin: best cotluh lands in the Htate.and
the annual ..production of that-staple that must
find its way down-litis river to its market, will
doubtless bo \ cry great-: a ■ large portion of. tho
produce also of tiie Imvcrcomilics will find itsout-'
let up the river lo the rail road no #r in priigrcs»-
from llie .Flint id the’Oemulgee. These are con
siderations that will suggest themselves to every
reflecting ftiitid, in favor of the proposed appro-'
priuiion. We' tiro glad to find that tho bill provi
ding for the ajqiropiialiim has passed the lluiiso
of Re|ircseniatives,aiiil we presume llicro.will hu
no .difficulty in its passage through the Semite.—
'l’lie oitly danger lo be upprehended is ftiut it may
be lost among tlte vast quantity of accumulated
business that is hastily laid on ihe (able at fire
close of-the session. Such we trust wili not be
the case. "- Georgia Journal.
The remarks from the Constitutionalist, in arts
oilier pait of bur pauer, are worthy of ull consid
eration. We rejoice lo find among the federal
party, one oditoi-ut least, who has independence
enough to lull them of their'errors, and fearlessly
censure them. Wc are begittumg to reap the

sent, to our house for imr acquiescciire, blit this
was. promptly and spiritedly refused by an over

its objection. Though there are a few men in lhis -
Legislature, ns violently tiir Jackson as ever, yet
his’ power here, you may rest assured, isgrea ly
weakened,,if not.entire'y harmless. Strange and
incredible at it may seem, on the second day of

sent to each member, was directed in the - Fn»i-

member in either house who did not receive his
three franked “Globes,'’ end one nf them directed
by the President himself, I have not beeiiinformed
of (he fact; grid I have heard many of both hous
es folk upon the subject. Though I have not
read much in these franked “Globes.” yet 1-saw
