« sp * ti»i our relation' with Spain,
it iinr ♦ , \pli it ran now be cotmiiunicnt-
!. On the adjournment ot’Con^res* in
‘I iv I i«t. the Minister Plenipotentiary
ol'thf* United States ut Madrid was in-
stnieted to inform the government of
Spain tbat, if his Catholic. Majesty should
then ratify the treaty, thi* government
would accept the ratification an far, as to
submit to the decision of the Senate
the question, whether such ratification
should he received in exchange, for that
ofllie United Stales heretofore given.—
]>y letters from the Minister of the Uni
ted States, to the Secretary of State, it
appears, that a communication, in confor
mity with his instructions, had been
made to the government of Spain, and
that the Cortes had the subject under
consideration. The result of the d. lib
erations of that body, which is daily ex
pected, will be made known to Congress
as soon as it is received. The friendly
sentiment which was expressed on the
part ol the United Slates, in the m^ssi^e
ofllie !)th of .May last, is still entertained
f>r Spain. Among the causes of regret,
however, which are inseparable from the
del ly attending, this transaction, it is pro
per to slate that satisfactory information
lias been received, that measures have
been recently adopted, by designing per
sons, to convert certain parts of the pro
vince. of East Florida into depots for
the reception of foreign goods, from
whence to smuggle them into the Unite 1
States. By opening a port within the
limits nf Florida, immediately on our
boundary, where there was no settlo-
nunt, the object could not be misunder
stood. An early accommodation of dif
ferences will, it is hoped, prevent all
such fraudulent and pernicious practices,
and place the relation* of the two corn-
tries on a very amicable ami permanent
basis.
The commercial relation* between the
United States and the British colonies in
the West Indies, and on this continent,
have undergone no change ; the British
government still prefering to leave that
commerce under the restriction hereto
fore imposed on it, on each side. It i*
satisfactory to recollect, tli.it the re
straints, resorted to In the U. States,
were defensive only, intended to prevent
n monopoly, under British regulations,
in favor of Great Britain ; as it likewise
is to know that the experiment i* advan
cing ia a spirit of amity between the par
ties.
The question depending between the
United Slates and Great Britain, respec
ting the construction of the first article
of the treaty of Ghent, lias been refer
red, by both governments, to the decision
of the Emperor of Russia, who lias ac
cepted the umpirage.
Aa attempt has been made, by the go
vernment of France, to regulate, by trea
ty, the commerce between the two coun
tries, on the principle of reciprocity and
cquulitv. .By the last communication
from the Minister Plenipotentiary of the
United Slates, at Paris, to whom full
power had been given, we learn that the
negotiation had been commenced there ;
but serious difficulties having occurred,
the French government had resolved to
transfer it to the United States, for which
purpose, the Minister Plenipotentiary of
France had been ordereJ to repair to this
city, and whose arrival might soou be
expected. It is hoped that this impor
tant interest may be arranged on just
conditions, and in a manner equally sa
tisfactory to both parties. It is submited
to Congress to decide, until such ar
rangement is nude, how tar it may be
proper, on the principle of the act oi the
last session, which augmented the ton-
iiage duty on French vessels, to adopt o-
ther measures for carrying more com
pletely into effect the policy ot that a ,t.
The act referred to, which imposed
new tonnage on French vessels, having
been in force from and alter Hie first day
of July, it has happened lliat several ves
sels of that nation, which lu I been dis
patched from Franco belore its existence
was known, have entered the ports of tin:
United States, and been subject to its
operation without that previous notice
which the general spirit ot our laws
gives to indviduals in similar cases.
The object of that law having been me-
relv to countervail the inequalities which
existed to the disadvcttlUli'' °I the Lnited
States, in their commercial intercourse
with France, it is submitted, also, to the
''“federation of Congress, whether, in
the spirit of amity & conciliation, which it
is no loss the inclination than the policy
of the United States, to preserve, in then
intercourse with other powers, it may
not he proper to extend rebel to the in
dividuals interested in those cases, by
exempting from the operation o ic a \
all those vessels which have entered our
ports, without having had the means ot
previously knowing the existence of the
additional duty. . .
The contest between Spain and the
colonies, according to the most authentic
information, is maintained hy 'he lau a
with improved success. > e 111
tunate divisions which were known to
exist some time since at Buenos Ay res,
it is understood, still prevail, lu no part
of South America, has Spaiu m.ulo any

and Vor the order of the internal adminis
tration The late change m the govern
ment of Spain, by the re-establishment
of'be constitution of 1812, is an even
which promises to be lav orable to the
revolution. Under the authority of the
Cortes, the Congress of Angostura was
invited to open a negotiation for the set
tlement of differences between the par
ties, to which it was replied, that they
would willingly opeu the ne-otiaUon, pro-
vtde I the a' know lodgment of their ia’.e-

neon them, we are umnlbrmed! No
i'tv .no known to tin* govornment to
warrant the belief, that any ofllie pow
er* e| Europe Will take part in the crni-
lest ; whence, it may be inferred, dm-
Mitering all circumstance, which must
nave weight in producing the result, that
"ujustuioiit Will finally take place, on
the basis, proposed bv tins colonies. To
promote that result, by friendly counsels
with other power*, including Spain her-
- 'll. has hoen the uniform policy of thi*
government.
I i i mki.ig in the internal concerns of our
fountvy, you will, I pemailed, derive

Among these, none hold, a more important
place than the public rivenue, from the di

S’ling eject to every other power of the go
vernment, 'j’h„ revenue depends on the re-
sources of the country, end the facility hv
vvaieli the amount required is raised, is u
s.iung proof of the extent of the resources,
and n, the ehieiency of the government. A
P'oiiihient tacts will place this great in-
t«'rest in a just light before j mi. (),i the both

d'd. the amount of five per cent, stock, sub
scribed to the hank of the United States, the
amount n| Mivnssippi stuck and of the stock
waali was issued subsequently to that date;
the h i! vices ascertai led to he vine to certain
states for military services, and to individual*
tor supplies furnished, and services rendered,
during Mm late war, the public debt may be
estioi ited as amounting at that date, and as
afterwards liquidat'd, to one hundred and
titty-eight millions seven hundred a.,d thir
teen Ihoiirand and forty-nine doll; s. On
the 50th HaptemliPr, Il'.iO, it ninoirit.d to
ninety -one millions nine hundred and ninrly-
lor e thousmd, eight hundred and eighty-
three d dlars, having been'reduced, in that
iote.rv :d. by payments, sixty-tix millions eight
hundred k seventy-nine thousand one hun
dred and sixty five dollars. During this
term, tile expenses of the g ivernment of the
United States were likewise defrayed, in
ovtoy branch of the civil, military, and naval
establishments; the publ.c edifices, in this
•ty, li i'iug been rebuilt, with considerable
dditious ; ext' nsive fortifications have been
commenced, and are in a trail of execution;
perm intuit arsenals and magazines have been
erected in various parts of the Union : our
navy has been considerably augmented and
the ordnance, munition* of war, and stores,
of the army and navy, which were much
xh,lusted during the war, have been replen
ished. By tin disc.hatge tif so large a por
tion of the public debt, and the execution of
■nidi extensive and important op, rations, iu
-o short a time, a just estimate may lie form-
id of the gieot extent of our national resour
ces. The demonstration is the inure com
plete, and gratifying, when it is recollected,
that the direct tax and excise were repealed
soon after the turmination of the late war,
an i that ihe revenue applied to these purpo
ses has been derived almost wholly from o-
tlier sources.
Thu receipts into the Treasury, from eve
ry source,, to the 30th of September last,
h ive amounted to sixteen millions seven
hundred and ninety-four thousand one hun
dred and seven dollars, sixty-six rents, whilst
the pulil'e expenditures, to the same pujod,
amounted to sixteen millions eight l.umlred
and seventy-one thousand live hundred and
thirty-four dollars, seventy-two cents, leav
ing in the Treasury, on that day, a sum e-ti-
inated at one million ni.*.: hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. For the probable receipts
ofllie following year, I refer you to the state
ment which will be transmitted from the
Treasury.
Tile sum of three millions of dollars, au
thor! red to he raised hy loan, hy ail act of
the last session of Congress, has been ob
tained upon terms advantageous to the go-
vernmeiit, indicating not only an increased
confidence in the faitji of the nation, but tile
existence of a large amount of capital, seek
ing that mode of investment, at a rate of in
terest not exceeding five per cent, pec an
num.
It is proper to add, that there is now due
to the Treasury, for tile sale of public hneis,
twenty-two million, nine hundred o- uii.eiy-
six thousand,five hundred and forty-five dol
lars. In bringing this subject to view, I cou-
sidrr iL my duty to submit to Congress,
wbi'thcr it may not lie advisable, to extend
tu the purchasers of these lands, in consider
ation of the unfavorable change w hich has
occurred since the sale!},a resaonable indul
gence. It ii known, that tin: ptirel.uscs
were made, when the p ice of every article
had risen to its greatest height and that the
instalments are becoming due, at a period of
great depression. It is prrsUMid that some
plan may lie devised, hy the wisdom of
Congress compatible with the public interest,
which would afford great relict' to these jur-
elutscrs.
Considerable progress has been made, du
ring the present season, in examining the
coast, and its various bay*, and other inlets ;
iu the collection of materials, and in the cou-
struetioo of fortifications, tor the defence ol
the Cnion, at several of lue positions, ut
which it lias been decided to erect such
works. At Mobile J’uint, and Dauphin I-
sland, and at the iligulels, lauding io Lake
l'ontcbartraiu, materials, to a considerable
amount, have been collected, and all the lie
ces3ary preparations made, for the, com
meuce.ment ot the works. At (.fid 1 unit
Comfort, at tlie mouth of James river, and
at the Kip Rap, on the opposite shore, in the
Chcsapuake Bay, materials, to a vast a
mount, have been collected, mid at the Old
Point some prugress lias been made in the
construction ofllie fortification, which is on
a very extensive scale. The work ul Fort
Washington, ou this river, will be comple
ted early in the next spring ; and that ou the
Pea Patch, in the Delaware, in the course ol
the next season. ' Fort Diamond, at the Nar
rows, in tho harbor of N'tv.-York, will he
finished this year. The works ut Boston,
Nevv-York, Baltimore Norfolk, Charleston,
and Niagara, have been, in part repaired ;
andtliu coast of North Carolina, extending
south to Cape Fear, lias been examined, as
have likewise other parts of the coast east
ward of Boston. Great exertions have been
made to push forward these works, with tin
utmost despatch possible; but when their
extent is considered, with the important pur
poses for which they are intended—the de
fence of the whole coast, and in consequence,
of the whole interior, and that they are to last
connecting the whole together, combining jscnuii.es there was great difficulty in choosing
security with economy, could tint be prtpar- ■ - *■
*‘d without repeated examinations of the
most exposed and difficult purls, and that it
would also take considerable time to collect
the materials at the several points where
they w ould he required. From all the light
that has been -lied on this subject, 1 am
satisfied, that every 11vocable anticipation
which ha* been formed of this great under
taking, will he verified, and that, when com
pleted, it will afford very great, if not com
plete, protection to our Atlantic frontier, in
the event of another war; a pi otectinw, suffi
cient io counter balance, in a single cam
paign, with nn enemy powerful at sett, the
expense of all these work 1 ), w ithout taking
into the estimate the saving ofllie lives of m>
many of our citizens, the protection of one
towns, mid other property, or the tendency
of such works to prevent war.
Our military positions have been main
tained at Bello Point, on live Arkansas, at
(Vmu'il Dlufi', on the Missouri, at St. Peter's,
on the Mississippi, and at Green Bay, on the
Upper Lakes, Coinmodiuus barrack* have
already been erected at moat of these post*,
with such works as were necessary for tiieir
defence. Progress has also been made in
opening commtiiiiealinns between them, and
in raising supplies at each foi the support of
the troops, by their own labor, particularly
those most remote.
With the Indians peace bus been preserv
ed, and n progress made in carrying into ef
fect the act of Congress, making un appro
priation for their civilization, with tlie pros
pect olT.ivorahle results, As connected e-
quatly with both these objects, vmr trade
wit those tribe* it. thought to merit the atten
tion of Congress, in their original Mute,
game is their swtotiancc, and was their occu
pation; and, if they find no employment
from civilized powers, they destroy each o-
tlnr. Left to themselves, their extirpation
is inevitable. By a judicious regulation of
our t"»dc with them, we supply their wants,
administer to their comforts, and gradually,
as the. game retires, draw them to ns. By
maintaining posts far in the interior,’we ac
quire a more thorough and direct control
over them, without which, it is confidently
believed that a complete change iu their
manners can never be accomplished. By
such posts, nivtcd by a proper regulation of
our trade with them,and a judicious civil ad
ministration over them, to In: provided for
by law, we. shall, it is presumed, be enabled,
not only to protect our own settlements from
their savago incursions, and preserve peace
among the several tribes, but accomplish,
also, the great purpose, of their civilization.
Considerable progress has also been made
in the construction of ships of war, some of
which have been launched iu the course ut
the present year.
(Mr peace with the powers on the coast
of li.irb.ny has been preserved, hut we owe
it altogether to the presence of our squadron
in the Mediterranean. It has been found <*-
quaily necessary to employ some of our ves
sels for the protection of our commerce in
the Indian sea, the Pacific, and along the At
lantic coast. The interests which we have
depending in those quarters, which have
been muei improv ed of late, are of great ex
tent. and of high importance to the nation, as
well a* to (lie parties concerned, and would
undoubtedly suffer, if such protection was
not extended to them, lu execution of the
law of the last session, for the suppression of
the slave trade, some of our public ships have
also been employed on Ihe coast of Africa,'
where several captures have already been
made of vessels engaged in that disgraceful
traliic.

The Lilt before the Moose of Repre
sentatives relating to the Penitentiary!
w liich has numerous friend* in the Legis
lature and out of it, provides, 1st. that so
much ofllie net to amend the Penal Code
as puni.-lie* crimes by confinement or I
hour in the Penitentiary, be repealed;
but (hat all crime* committed dining the
pendency of said act he prosecuted ar.d
punished according to its provLions
gaily, that offences committed after the
passage ol the act, shall be prosecuted
and punished according to the provisi
ons of the common law and the statutes
in force previous to the enactment of the
present Pen il Code, and such parts of
the Cede sis remain unrepealed by this
act.
That our Penitentiary E*tabli*!iment i-
unpopular, perhaps deservedly so, wc
believe there is no reason to doubt....
nor can this excite surprise, since its
progress so far lias disappointed the san
guine hopes entertained of results high
ly henjrficiul from its operation....hopes
perhaps too sanguine to he realized un
der the best system of administration
In proportion to our chagrin ut the fai
lure of expectations, not sanctioned by
reason or experience, is the extent of
our despondency on this occasion. If
from Penitentiary discipline was antici
pated the reformation of criminals, (and
that such is tiie fact will not be denied)
how unfounded were such hopes, when
the history of every institution of the.
kir.d proves the reverse! Bit placing
out of view the idea of reformation by
means of this institution, may it uot pos
sess, or can it not by proper management
be made to possess oilier advantages, and
such as would render it imprudent to
give up tho* early an experiment so im
perfectly tried? Are the Legislature quite
sure that they themselves are altogether
blameless for the uuprosperous state of
our Penitentiary ! L it not known to
them, that the urgent recommendations
of the Inspectors for radical changes, hy
legislative provisions, in ils internal ma
uagement, have been either neglected
altogether, or but pHrtiully curried into
effect? •

Since the adjournment of the lust l egislature,
puocet din,j* have occurred between tin brunch
of the Bulled Slates Bank ut 9avamiuh and the
local Banksoftiiui city, which have resulted iu
the injury and eudianassmeut of the latter.
The measures ol the former iiialilutmn seem
to have been lukeii vv.lii a view to universal
monopoly, and to have been prosecuted with a
singular hostility against tiia stole Corporaliotu.
According to the locality and present organiza
tion of both, we have found ourselves in an un
equal contest. Il appears lliat the (I States
Brunch, by its connexion With the Treasury ot
the Union, becomes the depository of large sums
ol revenue collected Hi Ihe port of Savannah,
and ol binds derived from the sulus ol Western
lands, lu addition to this, specie payments arc
not demamUlile except ut the principal Bank at
I’iiiimlelphia.
With these advantages, the b'. Stales Bank,
through the medium ot her branch, tins practised
towards u, a course of conduct, if not iile B al,
at least oppressive und palpably illiberal. This
conduct husconsi ted not only of buuvy uud re
peated demands of specie payments, hut uDo of
daily settlement*; some ol mese demands are
understood to have been met, und others delay
ed or totally reu-led. Die Slate Bank is known
for a considerable time Io have declined dis
counting, uud to have demanded reductions
upon its outstanding debts. If its affairs nuve
been regulated by the provisions ol its charier,

Although we may have lull confidence in the
capacity and integrity of oar Banking Agents,
yet i vc.i these securities against error, cmhur-
fa-suient qnd loss, sometimes fail, ihe Legis
