If we look to the whole, our growth as a nation continues to be rapid beyond example: if to the States which compose it, the same gratifying spectacle is Rxhibited. Our expansion over the vast territory within our limits, has been great, without in dicating any decline in those sections from which the emigration has been most conspicupus. We have daily gained strength r by a native popttlation in every quar ter: a population devoted to our happy system of Go nrernment, and cherishing the bond of Union with fra tetnal affection. Experience has already sheen, that the difference of climate, and of industry, proceeding from that cause, inseparable from such vast domain:, and which, under other systems, might hare a repulsive tendency, cannot fail to produce with us, under wise regulations, the opposite effect. What one portion wants, the other may supply, and this will be most sensibly felt by the parts most distant from each other, forming thereby a domestic market, and an active intercourse between the extiemes, and throughout every portion of our Union. Thus, by a happy distribution of power between the National and State Governments; Governments which rest, exclu 'sively, on the sovereignty of the People, and are fully adequate to the great purposes for which they were respectively instituted, causes which otherwise lead to dismemberment, operate powerfully to draw us closer together. In every other circumstance, a correct view of the actual state of our Union, must be equally paa. tifying to our constituents. Our relations with foreign Powers are of a friendly character, although certain interesting differences remain unsettled with ssnie. Our revenue, under the mild system of impost and tonnage, continues to be adequate to all the put poses of the Go vernment. Our agriculture, commerce, manufacture% and navigation flOuriJi. Our fortifications are advanc ing in the degree authotited by existing appropria tions, to maturity; and due progress is made in the augmentation of the Navy, to the limit prescribed for it by law. For these blessings, we owe to ALMIGHTY GOD, from whom we derive them,an.l with profound reverence,. our most grateful and unceasing acknowledgments. In -adverting to our relations with foreign Powers,. which are always an object of the highest importance, I have to remark, that of the subjects which have been •brought into discussion with them, during the present-' Administration, some have been satisfactorily termi nated; others have been suspende , S, to be resumed hereafter, under circumstances more favourable to suc cess; and others arc still in negociation, with the hope that they may be adjusted, with mutual accommoda tion, to the interest and satisfaction of the respective parties. It has . been the invariable object of this Go vernment to cherish the most friendly relations said) every Power, and on principles and conditions which_ might make them permanent. A systematic effort has bean made to place our commerce, with each Power, on a footing of perfect reciprocity ; to settle with each in a spirit of candour and liberality, and to anticipate and remove, so far as it might he practicable, all causes of future variance. 1 1 It having been stipulated, by the seventh article of the Convention of Navigation and Commerce, which was concluded oh the 24th of June, 1822, between the United States and France, that the said Convention should continue in force for two years from the first of lOctober of that year, and for an indefinite term after wards, unless one of the parties should declare its l intention to renounce it, in which event it should cease to operate at the end of sii months from such declare tion : and no such intention having been announced, the Convention having been found advantageous to both parties, it has since remained, .and still remains in full force. At the time when that Convention was cons • anted, many interesting subjects were left unsettled, and particularly our claims to indemnity for spoliations which were committed on our commerce in the late wars. For these interest and claims, it was in the con. tensplation of the parties to make provisions at a sub- • sequent day, by a mote comprehensive and definitive treaty. The objects has been duly attended to since, by the Executive, but as yet it has not been accom• plished. It is hoped *that a favour able opportunity will present itself for opening a negociation, which may embrace and arrange 41 existing differences, and every other concern in which they have a common intere-t, upon the accession of the present King of France, an event which has occurred since the close of the last Sts. Newton's Cardiphonia, ss. In ordering any of the above, please to describe them as Edin burgh Classic Editions. sion of Congress. With Great Britain our commercial interccurse rests on the same footing that it did at the last Session. By the con vention of 1816, the commerce between the United States and the British dominions, in Europe and the East • Indies, were arranged on -a principle of reciprocity. That convention was cearmed and continued in force, with slight exceptions, by a .übsequent treaty, for the term of ten years, from the 20th of October, 1818, the date of the latter. The trade with the British Colonies in the West Indies, has not, as yet, been arranged, by treaty'. or otherwise, to our satisfaction. An approach to that result has been made by legislative acts, whereby mail serious impediments, which bad been raised by the par. ties, in defence of their respective claims, were removeu. An earnest desire exists,' awl has been manifested, 'en the part of this Government, to place tha commerce with the Colonies likewise on a footing of reciptbeni advantage, and it is hoped, that the British Government; seeing the justice of the proposal, and its isiwortanceto the Colonies, wilh ere long, accede to it.
