VIASIIING'fON CITY, DECEMBER .5. • Allow-Citisens ofthe Senate and of the House w Representatives, ' The, progress of our affairs since the last Session has been sucb as may be justly, claimed and expected under a Government deriving all its powers front an enlightened people, and under laws formed by their representatives on great consideration, for the sole purpose of promoting the welfare and happiness of theft constituents. In the execution of those laws, and of the powers vested by the Constitution in the Exe cutive, unremitted attention has been paid to the great objects to which they extend. In the cancans which ace exclusively internal, there is good cause to be satisfied with the result. The laws have had their due operation and effect in those relating to Foreign Powers. • I am happy to state, that peace and amity are preserved with all, by a strict observance, on -both sides, of the rights of each, in matters touching our commercial intercourse. Where a difference of opi nion has existed in any case as to the conditions on which it should be placed, each party has pursued its own policy, without giving just cause of offence to the other. a In this annual communication, especially when it is addressed to a new Congress, the whole scope of our political concerns naturally comes into view; that errors, if such have been committed, day be corrected—that defects, which have become manifest, may be remedied : and, on the other hand, that mea sures which were adopted on due deliberation, and which experience has shewn are just in themselves, and essential to the public welfare, should be per severed in and supported. In performing this ne cessary and very important duty, .I shall endeavour to place before you, omits merits, every subject that is thought to be entitled to your particular attention, in as distinct and clear a light-as I may be able. " By an Act of the 3d of March, 1815, so much of the several Acts as imposed hishet duties-on the ton nage of.foreign vessels, and on the manufactures end productions of foreign ,nations, when imported into the United States in foreign vessels, than when im ported in vessels of the United States, were repealed; so far as respected , the manufactures and productions of the nation •to which such- vessel.helonged, on the condition that the repeal should- lake-effect only in favour-.of any foreign nation, when. the Executive should be satisfied that such disciiminating duties, to the disadvantage of the United States. had likewise been repealed by - such nation. By this Act, a • pro- • position was made to all nations to place our• com merce with each on a basis.which, it Was -presumed, would be acceptable to aIL Every tuition was.id lowed to bring - its ireanufitsturee Pad prodtsctious into our ports, and take the manufactures , andprodut tions of the United States-tack tee their ports,-.in their own vessels, on the same condition that. they might be transported in vessels of the United States: and, in return, it was required that a like accommo dation should be granted to the vessels et the United Stuteiin.theliatii - ,01 other Pritqrsi Zhu uttitiles to conditions. • • . When the nature o f commerce betweet i she United States and every other country was *mints, view, it was thought that this proposition irmild be considered fair, and everr liberal, by every Power.... The ex? orts of the United States consist- generallyof articles of the first necessity and of raw materials, in demand' for foreign manufactures; and prOduetions of any foreign country, even when disposed of these to advantage, miry. be brought in a single vessel. This observation is. more especially applicable to those countries from which manufactures alone are Imported; but it, applies in a great extent to the En'. ropean dominions of every European Pourer, and, lb a certain piaci* . to all the colonies of those Powers. lin placing then, the navigation precisely on ihe same ground, in the transportation of exports and imports Isetkveeo the PoitedSates and ojlier.countrioo;trAvas prestundil aka; all was offered whit+ 'could . be . de. med. It seemed to be the only proposition 'which could be devised which would retain even the sent- Wince of equity in our favour. " Many considerations of great weight gave us a right to expect that this commerce should be ex tended to the colonies as well as to the European dominions of other Powers. With the latter, espe. - daily with countries exclusively manufacturing, the advaatage was manifestly on their side; an indem nity for that lois was expected from a trade with the colonies ; and with the greater reason, as it was known that the supplies which the colonies derived from us were of the highest importance to them, their labour Ong bestowed with so moth greater profit in the culture of other articles; and because, likewise, the articlei of' which those supplies consisted, forming so large a proportion of the exports of the United States; were never admitted into any of-the ports of Europe, except in cases of great emergency, to avert a serious calamity. 'When no article is admitted which is not required to supply the wants of the party admitting it, and admitted then, not in favour of any particular country, to the disadvantage of others, but on con ditions equally applicable to all, it seems just that the articles thus admitted and invited should be car. vied thither in the vessels of the co untr y a ff or di ng such supply ; r end that the reciprOcky should be found in a corresponding accommodation on the other side. By allowing each party to participate .in the .trans poriation of such supplies,. on the payment of equal tonnage, it.strong proof was afforded of an accosts.. !misdating spirit.. ,To abandon to• it the transporta. On of the whole, would be a sacrifice which ought Loot to be expected. The demand, in the presen t in stance, woul4 be the more unreasonable, in consi atton of the inequality existing in the trade with the * parent country. . V Such was the be* of our system, as establi s h e d by the of 1815, and such its true character. In the,year in which. this Act was passed, a treaty was 'concluded with Great Britain, in strict conformity with its principles in regard to her European domi nions: to her colonies, however, in the West Indies and on this Continent it was not extended, the British Go vernment claiming the exclusive supply a thOse.Co (pixies, and from our own ports, and of the produc. tions of the colonies in return, in her own vessels. To this claim the United Statei could not assent, and, in consequence, each - party suspended the in tercourse in the vessels of the other, by a prohibi. Lion which still exists. The same conditions were offered to France, but not accepted : her Govern ment has demanded other conditions more favourable to her navigation, and which should also give extrapr ' dinary encouragement to her manufactures and pio ductions in the ports of the United States: to these it was thought improper to accede, and, in consequence, the restrictive regulation, which had been adopted on her part being countervailed on the part of • the United States, the direct commerce between the two countrie;, in the vessels of each party, has been in a great measure suspended. It is much to be regretted, that although a negociatien has been long pending, such is the diversity of views entertained on the va rious points which have been brought i nto discus.. lion, that there does not appear to be any reasonable prospect of its early ,conclusion. "It is my duty to state, as a cause of verygreat re. Bret, that very serious differences have occur: ed in this aegociation, respecting the construction of the Bth *stick of the Treaty of 1803, whereby Louisiana was ceded to the United States ; and likewise respect.. log the seizure of the Apollo, in 1820, for a viola tion of our revenue laws. The claim of the Govern ment of France has excited not less surprise than con cern, because there does not appear to be a jt:st foun dation fur it in either instance. By the Bth article of the Treaty referred to, it is stipulated that, after the expiration of twelve years, during which it was pit). videJ, by the preceding or 7th article, that the vas. seli of Francs and Spain should be admitted into the ports of the ceded territory without paying higher duties on merchandise, or tonnage on the ve.sels; than such as were paid by the citizens of the United States ; the ships of France should for ever afterwards be placed on the footing of the must favoured nation. the obvious coostruction of this article, it is pm sugned.that it was intended that no favour should be s r aqte . 4 nu any ,Power in those ports to wl.i c h F rance .should not be•fotthwith entitled; nor should any ac ,conmodatina be allowed to another Power on con. w4eich ehc.would not, also, be einitled upon tl)g ! Arne conditions. Under this construction, no rayour fir .accommodation could be grouted to any Powet to the prejudice of France. By a,lowing•the equivalent allowed by those Powers, she would at. wort stand, in those ports, on the foo:ing of the Most .14vouresbutiosi.. But if this article should be cont § oood as that France should enjoy of: right, and witheut.pa/ing the,equivident i .all the advuntag kit ,ka . senditusti OS might be Allowed to other-Vowert4 ~' ; 1 '7' f i r
