of BntiffiTubjrfts by the Com
•r”at Philadelphia, under the 6th article of the
r;>* on oi Amity, Commerce, and Navigation, with
rreaty difference of opinion, on points deemed
G rea£ in the interpretation cf that article, has arifeii
f Tcnt’.'-j Comm iinoners appointed by the United State's
b T7e other Members of that Board, from, which the
r/ - have thought it their duty to withdraw. It is fin
l- ‘to be regretted .that the execution of an article pro-
f x l bv a mutual spirit of amity and justice ihould have
f K unavoidably interrupted: It is however confi
e-oefted that'the fatpc spirit of amity, and the
f .’dVnie-of justice, in which it originated, will lead to
v explanations. In confeqtience of the obstacles
of the Commiflion in Philadelphia his Bri
x Jlajcfty has directed the Commiinoners appointed
r'hhm under the 7th article 1 of the treaty relating to
1 -p.; |ih Captures of American vessels, to withdraw from
t ‘- ‘ Bo ird fitting in London, but with the express declara-
Ifon-of his determination to fulfil, with punctuality and
need faith, the engagement which his Majesty has con
y A-d by his treaty with the United States, and that
T-y'will be instructed to resume their functions whenever
tfce'obftaclts which impede the progress of the Commiflion
Philadelphia fliall be removed. It being, in like man
mv Uncere determination, so far as the fame depends
on me,’that, with equal punctuality and good faith, the
r/c ments contracted by the United States, in tiieir
treaties with bis Britannic Majesty, lliall be fulfilled, I
immediately inftrufl our Mimfter at London to en
deavor to obtain the explanations necessary to a just per
formance of thole engagements on the part of the United
States. With fucli dispositions on both sides I cannot en
tertain rdirabt that all difficulties will soon be removed,
and that the two Boards will then proceed and bring the
business committed to them refpdduvely .to a fatisfadory
cPnclufioim
Hie ad of Congress relative to the feat of the Govern
ment of the United States requiring that on the firft Mon
day of December next it should be transferred from Phila
delphia to tire diftricl choften for its permanent ieat, it is
proper for me to inform you that the Commissioners ap
pointed to provide fuitabje buildings for the accommodati
on of Congress and the President, and for the public offices
of the Government, have made a report of the buildings
dcfigned for these purposes in the city of Wafliington,
from which they conclude that the removal of the lent of
Government to that place, at the time required, will be
practicable, and the accommodations fatisfactory. 1 heir
report will be laid before you.
Gentlemen of the House cf Reprefentathes,
I lhall direct the estimates of the appropriations nccef
fary for the service of the ensuing year, together with an
account of the revenue and expenditure, to be laid betore
you. During a period in which a great portion ol the
civilized world has been involved in a war, unulually ca
lamitous and deftrudlive, it was not to be expected that
the United States could be exempted from extraordinary
burthens. Although the period is not arrived when the
.measures adopted to secure our country against foreign at
tack can be renounced, yet it is alike necessary to. the
honor of the Government and the fatisf uStion of the com
munity that an exact economy should be maintained. I
invite you, Gentlemen, to ihveftigate the different branches
of the public expenditure; the examination will lead to
beneficial retrenchments, or produce a conviction of the
wisdom of the meafurc to which the expenditure relates.
Gentlemen of the Senate , and -
Gentlemen of the House of Reprefentativcs,
At a period like the present, when momentous changes
are occurring, and every hour is preparing new and great
events in the political world; when a spirit of war is pre
valent in almost every nation with whose affairs the inte
i veils of the United States have any connexion; unfafeand
[precarious would be our fitpatinn, were we to neglcdt the
trneans of maintaining our just rights. The refuit of the
•Lffion to France is uncertain, but, however it may ter
minate, a steady perseverance in a system of national c;e
■nee, commensurate with our resources and the lituation
■ our country, is an obvious -dictate of wisdom; for, re
wtely as we are placed from the belligerent nations, and
-lams as we are, by doing justice to all, to avoid offence
Vny, nothing ftiort of the power of -repelling aggro (lions
1 secure to our country a rational profiled! of escaping
■ calamities of war, or national degradation. As to
iff it is my anxious dtfire so to execute the trttft rc-
I in me as to render the people of the United States
rous and happy. I rely with entire confidence on
■cooperation in objects equally your care, and that
vfcutual labors will serve to increase and confirm union
m our fellow citizens, and an unihaken attachment
