Tiio relations cf our country continue to f~3-
sent x.v tame picture, of amicable iutercoursa
that 1 had the satisfaction tt> hold up to your
view at tho opening of the last session. The
same friendly professions, iboaame desire to par
ticipate in our flourishing commerce, the same
disposition to refrain from injuries unintention
ally offered, ’are, with fow exceptions, evinced
by all nations wifh whom we have any inter
course. This desirable slate of things may be
mainly ascribed to our imdeviating practice of
the rule which has long guided cur national pel
icy, to require no exclusive privileges - in com
morce, and to grant none. It is daily producin'
its beueficial effect in the respect shown to our
flag, the protection of our citizens and their pro
perty abroad, and in the increase of our naviga
non, and tho extension of our mercantile opera
tions. The returns tvbicb havo been made out
since we Inst met, xvill shoxv an increase duriug
the last preceding year, of more than 80,000 tons
in our shipping, and of near forty millions of dol
lars in the aggregate of our imports and exports.
Nor have we loss reason to felicitate ourselves
on the position of our political than of our com
mercial concerns. They remain in the state in
which they were when I last addressed you—a
state of prosperity and peace, ibe effect of a .vise
attention to the parting advice of the revered Fa
ther Of bis country, tin this subject, condensed in
to a maxim for the use cf posterity, by one of his
most distinguished successors, to cultivate free
comuierco and honest friendship with all nations,
but to make entangling alliances xvith none. A
strict adherence to this policy has kept ns aloof
from the perplexing questions that now agitate
the European world, and havo more than'onco
deluged those countrios with blood. Should
thoso scenes unfortunately recur, tho parties to
tho contest may count on a faithful performance
of-tho duties incumbent on us as a neutral nation,
and our own citizens may equally rely on the
firm assertion of their neutral rights.
“ With the nation that was our earliest friend
chd ally in the infancy of our political existence
the most friendly relations have subsisted through
.the lata revolutions of its Gororhmcat; aud,
from the eveuts of the last, promise a permanent
duration. It bn* made an approximation
some of its political institutions to our own, and
raised a nionarck v t<J tho throne who preserves, it
iss'aicT, afrienciiy recollection of the period during
which, he acquired among^our-citizcns the high
considofation thatcould then have been produced
by hisporsonal qualifications alono.
Gur. commerce with that nation Is gradually
aiaumutg’ a mutually beneficial character, and
tho adjustment of the claims of our citizens has
removed the onlyobstacio there was to an inter
course not only lucrative but productive of litera
ry aiid scientific improvement.
From Great Britaih.t'have tho satisfaction to
inform you that I continue to rccoive assurances
of the most amicable disposition, which have, on
my part, on all proper occasions, bceb promptly
and sincerely reciprocated. The attention of that
Government has latterly been so much engrossed
by matters of a deeply interesting domestic char-
were informed of the conditional reduction ob
tained by the minister of the United States, at
-Madrid, of the duties on tonnage levied on Amer
ican shipping iu rue ports of Spain. Tho condi
tion of that reduction having been complied with
on our part, by the act passed on the I3iii of Ju
ly last, 1 have the satisfaction to inform you that
our ships now pay no higher, nor other duties, iu
tho cotitipcbtiai ports of Spain, thau aro levied
on their national vessels.
The demands against Portugal fer illegal cap
tures iu tlid blockade of Torceira, have been al- J per to ob
lo wed to tho full amount of the nc -ouuts present
ee! by tho claimants, aud payment was promised
to he made iu three instalments. The first of
these has been paid, tho second, although due,
had not, at the date of our last advices, been re
ceived, owing, it was alleged, to embarrassments
In tho fiuauces, consequent ou the civil war in
which tho nation is engaged.
The payments stipulated by the convention
with Denmark, havo been punctually m ule, and
the amount is ready for distribution among the
claimants as soon as the L-eard how sitting, shall
have'performed their functions.. '
I regret that, by the last advices from our
Charge d’Affaires' at Naples, that government liad
still delayed the satisfaction due to our citizeus;
but at that date, tho effect of the last iustructious
was uot known. Dtsflntcbcs fiuin tbali'co are
houily expected, and the tesult will be commu
nicated to yon without delay.
With the rest of Europe! our relations, politi
cal and commercial, remain unchanged. Nego-
ciations are going on, to put on a permanent ba
sis’, the liberal system of commerce now carried on
between us aud the Empire of Russia. The trea
ty concluded with Austria i= executed by his Im
perial Majesty, with the most perfect good faith:
and, as wo have no diplomatic agent at his court,
ho personally iuquired into, and corrected a pro
ceeding of some of his subaltern officers, to the
injury of our cousul in one of his ports.
Our treaty xvith the Sublimo Porte is produc
ing its expected effects ou our commerce. Nexv
markets are opening for our commodities, aud a
more extensive range for the employment cf our
ships. A slight augmentation of the duties on
our commorce, inconsistent xvith the spirit of the
treaty, had been imposed, bdt,' on the representa
tion of our Charge d’Affaircs, it has been prompt
ly xx’ithdroxvn, aud xve noxv enjoy the trade and
n*virminn nf thft Ithif-l* and of all the nortk
was supposed, aud. as they proved to be, they
xvere.d band of lawless pirates, to inflict such a
chastisement ns would deter (hem and others from
like aggresdeiis. 3 his last was done, and the ef
fect has been au increased respect for our flag iu
those clutaut sens, aud additional security to aur
commerce.
In the view I have given of our connexion
with foreign powers, allusions havo been made
to their domestic disturbances or foreign wars; to
their revolutions or dissensions^ It may bo pro-
rve, that this is done solely in cases
where thoso events .afi'est our political’ relations
with them, or to show tbeiroperation on our com
merce. Further than this, it is neither our poli
cy nor our /light to interfere. Our bcst xvi-d.ee,
on all occasions, our good offices when required,
will be afforded to promote tho.domestic tranquil
ity and’foreign pcacc.of ail nations with whom
we havo auy intercourse. "• Any" intervention in
their affairs further than this, ex-cn bv tho ex
pression of any official opinion, is contrary to c-ur
principles of international policy, and xvilf always
be avoided.
Tlie report which the Secretary of the Treasu
ry xvill, in due time, lay before you, will exhibit
the national finances iu a highly prosperous state.
Owing to the continued success cf our commer
cial enterprise, which has enabled the merchants
to fulfil their engagements xvith the Government',
the receipts from customs daring the year xvill
exceed the estimate presented at tho l.-isi”session •
aud, with the other means of the Treasury, x\i!I
prove fully adequate, not only to meet the in
creased'expenditure, resulting from the forge ap
propriations made hy Oopgress, but to provide
for the payment of all the public debt u liich is
nt present redeemable. It is uoxv estimated
that tho customs xvill yield to the Treasury, cu

Early attention, however, has been promised to
the subject, and overv effort, on my part, will be
made for a satisfactory settlement.of this ques

ticularly so to one of its members.
The claims of odr citizens on Spain are not

I xvish earnestly that, in announcing to.you the
continuance of frieudsuip, and the increase of
a profitable commercial'intercourse with Mexico,
xvith Central America} and the States of the
South, I coqld-accompany'it xvith the assurance
that they all are blessed xvith that internal trau-
quility, aud foreigu peace, xvhich their heroic de
votion to. the cause of their independence merits.
In Mexico a sanguinary struggle is noxv carried
on, xvhich has caused some embarrassment to our
commerce; but botii parties profess the most
friendly disposition toxvartls us. To the termina
tion of this contest, xve look for the establishment
of that secure intercourse, so necessary to nations
xvhose territories are contiguous. How impor
tant itixvill be to U3, xve may calculate from tlie
fact, that, ex-en iu this unfavorable state df things,
our maratime commerce has increased, and an
internal trade, by caravans, from Si. Louis to
Santa Fo, under 1 the protection of escorts furnish
ed by the Government, is carried on to a groat ad
vantage and is daily increasing. The ageuts pro
vided for by the treaty xvith this power, to desig
nate tho boundaries xvhich it' established, have
been named on our part; hut one of the evils of
the civil xvar noxv raging there, has been, that tho
appointment of thoso xvith xvhorn- they xVero to
co-operhto has not yet been announced to us.
■ The Government of Central America has ex
pelled from this territory the party which, some
time since disturbed its peace. Desirous of fos
tering a favorable disposition toxvards us, which
has, on more than ono occasion been enticed by
this interesting country, I made a second attempt
in this year, to establish a’ diplomatic ibtefeburse
xvith tht;m; but the death of tho distinguished cit
izen Whom I had appointed for that purpose, has
retarded the 6x00011011 of measures from which 1
hoped much advantage to our commerce. The
union of tho three States which formed tlie Re
public of Colombia has been dissolved ; but they
all, it is beliex’ed, consider themselves as sepa
rately bound by the treaty xvhich xvas made in
their federal capacity. The minister accredited
to tho federation, continues in that character near
the Government of New Grenada; and hopes
were entertained that a; new union xvould be
formed betxvceu the separate States,' at least for
the purposo of foreign intercourse. Our minister
has been instructed to use his good offices, xvlien-
ex’er they shall be desired, to produce the reunion
so much to be wished for tho domestic tranquility
of the parties, and tho security aud facility of for
eign commerce.
Sonio agitations, naturally attended on an in
fant reign, have prevailed'in the empire of Bra-
millions of dollars. The public lands, However
have proved less productivc.than was anticipated;
and according to present informafion, will not
much exceed ixx-o millions. Tho expenditures
for all objects other than the public debt, are es
timated to amount, during the year, to about J6
millions andahalf, xvliilo a largersum, viz. eigh
teen millions of dollars, xvill have been applied :o
tho principal interest of the public debt.
It is expected, however, that, in consequence
of the reduced rules of duty, which will take effect
after the 3d of March next, there will be a consid
erable falling off in the revenue from customs in
the year ISS3. It xvill, nevertheless! be amply
sufficient to provide for all the tvnnrs of tho public
service, CEtimated even upon a libera! scale, and
for the redemption and purchase of the remainder
ofthe public debt. '.Or the first of January next
the entire public debt ofthe U. S. funded anti un
funded will be reduced to within a fraction of se
ven millions of dollars: of which $2,227,3G3 aro
nor of right redeemable until the 1st of Jan. 1334,
and 4,735,296 not until the 2(1 of Jan. 1335.
The 'commissioners ofthe sinking fund, however,
being invested xvith full authority to purchase the
•lebt at the market price, and the means of the
1 reasurv being ample,' it may be hoped that the
whole xvill be extinguished within the year 1333.
I cannot too cordially congratulate congress and
my fellow citizens on the near approach of that
memorable and happy event, the extinction ofthe
public debt ofihis great and free nation. Faith
ful to tlie wise and patriotic policy marked out by
the legislation .of thq country, ibr this object, tho
present administration has devoted to it all tho
means xvhich a flourishing commerce lias supplied,
and a prudent economy preserved, for the public
Treasury. -Within the four years for xvhich tho
people have confided the -executive power to my
charge, fifty eight millions of dollars will have
been applied to the payment of the public debt —
That tins lias becn;accbmplished without stinting
the expenditures for all’other proper objects, xvill
bo seen by referring to the liberal provision made
during tho same period for tbo support and in
crease of our means of maratime and military de
fence, for internal improvements of a national
character, for the removal and preservation ofthe
Indians, and lastly, for tho gallant veterans of tho
revolution.
Tho final removal of this great burthen from
our resources affords the means of further provis
ion f?r al! tho objects of general welfare and pub
lic defence which iho constitution authorizes, and
presents tho occasion for such further reduction
in the'revenue as may.not be required for them.
From the report ofthe Sccretajyofthe Treasury,
it xvill be seen that, after the present year, such 2
reduction may bo made to a considerable extent;
and the subject is efirncstly recommended to the
consideration of congress, in the hope that the com
bined wisdom of the representatives of the people
xvill dex'Le such means of effecting that salutary
object, as may remove tho«e burthens xvhich shall
bo found to fall unequally upon an}’, and us may
promote all tho great interests of the community.
Long and patient reflection has strengthened
the opinions I hax’e heretoforo expressed to con
gress on this subject; and 1 deem it my duty, on
tho pieseut occasion, again .0 urgo them upon tho
muwo.fc.,, ua.u *..» • of the Legislature. The soundest maxims
zrl,-xvhich have had the usual effect upon com- l pub.:c policy, nud the principles upon xv'itth,
mercial opera'ious; aud while they suspended
tho cousiiieratiou of claims created ou similar oc
casions, they have given rise to nexv complaints
on the part of our citizens. A proper consider
ation for calamities and.difficulties of this nature,
lias made us less urgent and .peremptory iu our
demands for justice man duty to our fellow-citi
zens xvould, uuder other circumstances, havo re
quired. But the claims are not Neglected, and
xvill, on all proper occasions, be urged, and it is
hoped, with effect. ■’/
