I GEORGIA EXPRESS. ATHENS, JUNE j. *4” OOOOC.’ 0-CKS*e>*©-OCO—. i PRESIDENT’S MSSAGE. Tue/dcy, May 1 3. THIS DAY, at 12 Vfcci, // ‘'TPRESIDEN I’ of tbt. UNITED • STATES, communicated by Mr. N Graham, the following MESSAGE M to both Hsufes of Congrefs ; Fellow Citizens of the Senate P And of tbs beuje cf Representatives . m, Cj if this jirjf ccciijii'i cj ■resthigyi'U, i£ affords me much j: tiff a a ion*to h mfte to communicate the i.mmmence • spent of a favorable change in our for eign relations ; /&? critical flats cf which induced a Jfffion cf Corsgrffs at ibis early -period. I h cmjequence of the provijietts cf ■fibs aft inter Afting commercial inter- IptfC/? Grr*/ Britain and France, ‘.fur Mintjlers at London and Paris Avers, without delay, inf rutted to let it b: underfood by the French and Bri tish Governments, that the authority vefed in the Executive , to renew com mercial intercourfe with their refpec tive nations, would be exercised in the %tafs fpectfied by that aft. r /.son after thefe infrufthns were Jfpatched, it was found that the Bri tifh Government, anticipating, from I tarty ptoceedir.gs of Congrefs at their faf Jeff on, the fate of our laws, which U>as had the ejjjcft cf placing the two f eager eni powers on a footing of e quad t efricUons, and relying on the concili atory di/pofithn cf the United States, had iraufmifted to their legation here, provifonalinfruftiyns, not only to offer I fatijfacftion for the attack on the fri g Ate Ghffapcake, and to make known the determination of his Britannic Ma jiff* to fenct an Envoy Extraordinary with powers to conclude a treaty on all fiftnts between the two countries j but, moreover, to fignify his willingnsfs, in the mean time, to withdraw his Or - |t iers in Council, in tks perftiaftion that •sos -interesufe with Great Britain would be renewed on the put of the United States. Thefe fiefs cf the Briti/h government fed to the correjpondtnce and the pro r % tarnation row laid before you j by vir tue cf which, the commerce between ‘■■ foe two countries will be renewable of ’ Scr toe tenth day of June next. P/cilf / take pieafure in doing juf face to the counfeis of his Britannic Majefiy, which no longer adhering to to; policy which mads an abandonment by Prance, of her decrees, apre requi jne to a re vocation cf the Briti/h “ or ders, have fubfituted the amicable c mrje which has iffued thus happily j 1 cannot do lefs than refer to the pro - p f ; a ba etofore made on the part dike Untied States embracing a like ref ora fthn and ihefufpended commerce, as a fro f i hefpirit cf accommodation which * has at no time been intermitted\ and to rthc refit which now calls for cur con ■ grafuiaiions, as corroborating theprin ‘ tbpltSy by which the public councils have been guided, during ; a period of tbs mef trying embarr a Aments. The dfcontinuance of the Britijk *rcierj, as they refpeft tbs United States, having been thus arranged, a € mmv.meation of the event has been jo/ wai etid, in cne of our public veffels, ic cur Minister Plenipotentiary at with inf ructions to avail him felt cf the important addition thereby mads, to the cenff. derations which prefs cn the justice xf the French govern ment a revocation of ; ts d ecrees> cr fuw a inod\ficatftm of them, as that ittey jbxd evafs to violate the neutral iommsrcecf the United States, ” v f \ 1 • ** / ir P /*•?t . * -jf /1# . • 7 t L 7 our cstv.inerctal taws, ■proper so adapt tiers to the arrange ment which has taker, place with Great Pci. • 1, will doubt lefs curate the car ty attention of Corgrefs, ft will be worthy, at the fame time, of their juf and provident care, to makefuch fur ther alterations in the laws, as will more ffpeciafty pros eft and foffer the fever a! branches of manufacture, which have been recently infituied cr extend ed by the laudable exertions of cur ci tizens. Under the ex fire afpeft cf cur affairs, I have thought it notirtcon fifent with a juf pr eccuiion, to have the gun-boats, with the exception of th c/e at New Orleans, placed in aft nation, incurring no expence beyond that requifUefor their prefervation, a id convemency for futurefervice •, and to have the crews cf lb j 3 at New Or hens rsducedtotbe number required for thar navigation and fafsiy. I have thought alfo, that cur citi zens detached in quotas cf Militia, amour ting to one hundred tboujand, un der the all of March 1808, might, fist Improperly , be relieved from the fate in which they were held for im mediate fervice. Ad cf them has been accordingly dire ft ed. The progrefc made in raiding and organizing the additional military force, for which provision was made bv the adt cf April 1808, together with the difpcficion of the troops, will appear by a report which the Secretary of War is preparing, and which will be laid before you. Of the additional frigates required, by an adt of the lait ft (lion, to be fi ted for actual fervice, two are in reaefinefs, one nearly fo, and the fourth is expected to be ready, in the month of July. A report, which the Secretary of the Navy is preparing cm the fubjedt, to be laid before Congrefs, wii! Ihew at the fame time, the prngrefs made in officering and manning thefe (hips. It will (hew alfo the d< gree in which the provifiohs of the adt, relating to the other public armed vcfT.ls, have teen carried into execution. II vv Vil re ft wi t h the j udge men tof Congrefs to decide low far the change in our external profpetts may authorize any modifications of the laws relating to the army and navy eflablifhments. The works of defence for our fea ports towns and harbours have pro ceeded wir.h as much activity, as the feafon of the year and other cir cumftances would admit. It is ne cdiary however to (late, that the appropriations hitherto made being found to be deficient, a further pro vifion will claim the early coopera tion of Congrefs. The whole of the eight per cent flock remaining due by the United States, amounting to five millions three hundred thoufand dollars, had been reimburfed on the laft day cf the year 1809, And on the firft day of April lait, the lum in the Trtafu ry exceeded nine and a half millions ot dollars. This, together with the receipts of the current year cn ac count cf former revenue bonds, will probably be nearly, if not altogether luffident to defray the expences of the year, But the fufpenfion of ex perts and the confequent decreafe of importations, during the lait twelve montks, wiil necdTarily caufeagreat diminution in the receipts of the year i3io. After that year, fhould our foieign relations be undifturbed, the revenue will cgan be more than coiusirr.futate to all the expendic*“ ores. And ware of the inconveniences of a protracted fefßon, at the prefect feafon of the year, I forbear to call the attention of the to any rruiters not particularly urgent Tt remains therefore only ‘o iVisit you or the fidelity and alacrity vith which I Shall co-operate for the wel fare and happinels of our country ; and to pray that it may experience a continuance of the divine bleffings, by v- lach it has been io fignally fa vored.
