This day, at t*elve o'clock, the Parstnan of the United States communicated, by Mr. GRAHAM, the following Message to both Houses of Congress : •' Washington City, May 23, 1309. " Fellow Citizens of the Seneca, and of the House of Repeesenratives, “ On this first occasion of meeting you, it affords me much satisfaction, to be able to communicate the commencement of a favourable change in our Foreign relations ; the critical state of which induced a Session of Congress at this period. 46 In consequence of the provisions of the act in terdicting commercial intercourse with Great Britain and France, our Ministers at London and Paris were, without delay, instructed to let it be understood by the French and British Governments, that the autho rity vested in the executive, to renew commercial in tercourse with their respective nations, would be 'ex ercised in the case specified by that act. Soon after these instructions were dispatched, it was found that the British Government, anticipating,, from early proceedings of Congress at their last Ses-1 sion, the state of our laws, which has had the effect of placing the two belligerent Powers on a footing of equal restrictions, and relying on the conciliatory dis position of the United States, had transmitted to their Legation here prov isional instructions, not only to offer satisfaction for the attack on the frigate Chesa-: peake, and to make known the determination of his Britannic Majesty, to send an Envoy "Fxtraordinary with powers to conclude a treaty on all points be tween the two countries ; but moreover, to signify his willingness, in the mean time, to withdraw his Orders in council, in the persuasion that the inter course with Great Britain would be renewed on the part of the United States. " These steps of the British Government led to the correspondence and the proclamation now laid before you; by virtue of which, the commerce be tween the two countries .will be renewable after the 10th day of June next. 16 Whilst I take pleasure in doing justice to the Counsels of • his Britannic Majesty, which no lorzer udberi.ig to the policy which made an abandonment by France, of hor decrees, a pre-requisite to a refo. cation of the British Orders, have -substituted the ami cable course which has issued thus happily ; 1 cannot do less than refer to the proposal heretofore made on the part of the United States, embracing a like resto ration of the suspended commerce, as a proof of the spirit of accommodation which has at no time been intermitted, and" to the result which now calls for on; congratulations as corroborating the principles by which the public councils have been guided during a period of the most trying embarrassments. 11 The discontinuance of the British Orders as they respect the United States; having been thus artanged, a communication of the event has been forwarded, in ono of our public vessels, to our Minister Plenipoten-. tiary at Paris, with instructions to avail himself of the important addition thereby made, to the consi derations which press on the justice of tte French GbVernment a revocation of its decrees; or such a mo.' dification of them, as they shall cease to violate the neutral commerce of the United States. " The revision of our commercial lawi, proper to adapt them to the arrangerrient which has taken place with Great Britain, will . sloub!less engage the early attention of Congress. It will be woKthhat the same time, of their jest and Provident care, to make. such further alterations in the fawsias more espe cially protect -and foster the sA4ral . hr-I n t l if s :: o t t nia " nufactpre w hi c h have beet; iio,e_4l)Cl4..4o l td - or, gr. tended by the 1411dAsbile 44 It will rest wistrilleffigieleit of Congress to de cide how far the ehanviiiil Out external prospects may aathEitibe , inf ifjoinotionVtif thiYawi Mating' to the army'-and newt • '‘g works of defince r flOitik.'sea-port towns and. harbours have proceecld With as much activity as. the season' of dif year and older circumstances would adrnit.—olt is neceisity; • however, to state; that the appropriations hitherto made being found' to be de ficient, a farther proviskai WM claim the early *cOnsi deration of Congress. 44 The whole of the 8 per cent. stock remaining due'hy -the United States,. amounting to 5,300,000 dollars, had been reiMburted on the last day of the year 1808.' And On 'tht 'lst day of . April last, the surnin the Treasury exceeded nine and a half millions of dollars. This, together ;with the receipts of the current year, on acebunt of former Revenue bonds, will probably be nearly, if not altogether sufficient, to defray the expellees olthe year. But the suspension of exports and the -consequent decrease of importa tions, during the-lest twelvemonths,' will necessarily cause a great diminution in the receipts .of the year, 1810. After that year, should our foreign relations be undisturbed, the Revenue will again be more than commensurate to all the expenditures. " Under the existing aspect of our affairs, I have thought it not inconsistent with a just precaution, to have the gun-boats, with the exception of those at New Orleans, placed in a situation incurring no ex pence beyond that requisite for their preservation, and coviveniency fir future service ;'and to have the crews of those at New Orleans reduced to the num ber required for their n.ivigation and safety. `.! I have thought also, that our citizens detached in quotas of militia, amounting to 100,000, under the Act of Match, 1808, might not improperly be re , lieved from the state in which they were held N. im mediate service. A discharge of them halt been ae cordingly directed. " The progress made is raising and organizing the additional military force, for which provision was. made by the Act of April, ItoB, together with the disposition of the troops, will appear by a report which the SeOretary of War is preparing, and which will be laid before you. " Cf the acklitional frigates requited by an Act of the last Session to' be fitted for Actual service, two are in readiness, one nearly so, sand the fourth is ex pected to be ready in the month of July. A. Report which the Secretary of the Navy is preparing on the .subject, to be laid before Congress, will shew, at the same time, the progress made in ofileering and man, ning these ships. It .will shew also the degree in which the provisions of the Act relating to the other public armed vessels have been carried into effect. .Aware of the inconvenience of a protracted Ses-1 sioo at-the present semis' of the year, 1 forbear to call the attention of the Legislature to any matters not particularly urgent. .1t remains therefore only to as sure you of the fidelity and alacrity with which I shall co-operate for the welfare and happinessof our country, and to pray that it may expetieF.ce a continuance of the Divine blessings by which it has been so signally favoured. (Signed) " JAMBS MADISON." We have already :Mentioned the reoccupation of St. Andero by the Spaniards. Tice Revertge,.arrjved i at Plymouth, brought a brief detail of the particulars, ' and about 100 French prisoaers, out of 300 whoswarn ' from the shore of St. Andern, and 'saved themselves froth slneghter by' throwing themselves into the aims of the English.' They report that the Spanish Patriot' Don tie Poi.taa, a, young mats of twenty-two years of age, who took the field some time ago with a few follewers, armed with pikes; fusils, and other weapons, had now with him'. a • Volunteer body'of five' thou send rnee--;.that he had . set tiut with the . avowed purpose of .giving no vaster to the invaders of his country, whose atrocities Ird roused the •spirit of in satiable revenge. He had sueceeeded in every skir mish, and had excessively harassed the enemy. At length he tpok St. Anderci by assault, and cf the gar rison of 800 men lie put 500 to sword. The re maining body had got on baud the STATIRA, which lay in the Roads ; and, as we have stated, ibOve 100 - bf them are arrived its the REVIIIitfE sloop - of war.— M. de Pomertis a young man . c.f . a noble family, and his proclamation is entirely foinidcd op the atrocities committed in cold blood, by the French in all the open villages of which they had got possession. The people are flocking to his standard. The capture °ltem of the priaeS taken by the STA.. mut and Astriaa . wasOccirisioned by the above events at St. Andero.. On the entry of De PoLIER they im mediately quitted tlratiArbour trot Corenna, as sta ted yesterday by sisistake) and put to sea for safety. These prizes, vtie are happy* to announce, arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday with ilse.SrArinA. Qne of them is the French brig la Rejouie, Laden with' spars for masts. She is -very .fint brig, and has the ap pearance of a sloop-of war. Another of these -prizes is a . French' schooner, name unknown, in - ballast, with a great number of prisciners on board. The SziTIOA has also brought in with her la Mouche French National corvette, of l 8 guns, arid 180 men,- from.

Letters from Bilboa and Madrid arrived yesterday, dated the 23d and 25th. The former contain little that is political. They represent every thing as in a , state of gloomy inactivity, and complain of the dear ness of All the articles of life, from the total suspen sion of commercial intercourse. The latter express in confident terms the hope, that the French will soon leave Madrid, and that a correspondence between that capital and London will be restored. We.ez .pect," says one of these letters, c , to communicate direct with London in the course of two months." The most recent letters , from Caaalonia are of the . SOth April. They state that the French had retired from Barcelona, excepting small garrison in the ci tadel (Montjuie). The farces which had left that neighbourhood, it is added, had oracle a sort of ma rauding expedition over a t ride circuit of the adjacant country, and were collecting beneath the fortress of gueras, preparatory, as was Supposed, to their depar ture for France through the defiles of the Pyrenees. , A Telegraphic communication from Yarmouth was yesterday afternoon received at the Admiralty, , which was said to announce the arrival of a Mes4en. ger from Heligoland. A. report was immediately circulated, that 4 , the Archduke CHAnt.m, having passed the Danube, had made a general attack upon the whole French line, and succeeded in totally 51%. fcating the enemy." No particulars were mentioned nor have we been able to learn, that any such advice had been officially received. Most happy shall we he to receive a confirmation of sc . ) pleasing a a report. Some . German Papas to the 1 Ith inst. arrived yeiterday afternoon. One of them gives what is called a Supplement to the Fifth Austrian Bulletin, It is in substance the same as the short extract we gave of it on Monday, from the Dutch Papers. - The head-quarters of the Archduke CRA BLEP were on the gBtl# at Neusidel, on the Russback, about ZWQ miles from the Esslingen, and the army of the Arch. duke Rom, according to the latest accounts, ha reached Koermens upon the Raab, about 90 Eng miles from Presburg. 14 _Accounts have this day been received in town fittla Heligoland, which state that a battle had taken. piaci at Lublin, inAustrian Poland, between theAtntriansi commanded by the Archduke FERVIiTAiD, ltd Saxons and Poles, under General tougsaows4lzi wllizli the latter were defeated with great less, asni General DEMBROWSICI himself killed.
