The report of the Secretary of the Navy, which is now voimattnisafed, furnishes an account of the administration ' if, that o.epartnient. for the three lust quarters of the pre sent year, with the progress made in augmenting the navy, and the manner in which the vessels in commission have been employed. • Theesuat. forte has been maintsired in the alediterra mean See, The P;scific Ocean, and along the Atlantic Coast, and has afforded the necessary protection to oar commerce in those seal. In the West Indies anti the (inif of Mexico our naval force has been augmented, by the addition of several mnall vessels, provided for by. the " Act authorising an ad. •litiOnal naval force for the suppression of piracy,' passed 'by Congress at their . last Session. That armament has `teen eminently successful in the accomplishment of its ob • jeit. The pieacles by which our commerce in the neigh bourhood' of the island of Cuba had been afflicted, have loin repressed, and - the confidence of our merchants in a • great measure restored. • The patriotic zeal and enterprise of Commodore Porter, '.to Whom the command of the expedition was confided, has ..been folly' seconded by the. officers and men under his com mand. And, in reflecting with, high satisfaction on' the honourable manner in which they have sustained the re• - potation. of their country and its navy, the sentiment fps' alloyed only 'by a concern that, in the fulfilment of that . ardueits service, the diseases incident to the season and' tie theclimate in which It was discharged, have deprived the rialtos of "many useful lives, and among them of several •011ieers of great promise. . In the month of Aogost a very malignant fever made Ite appearance at Thompson's island,. which threatened the "destrettion of our stittion there. Many perished; and the •tounnanding officer was severely attacked. Uncertain as 'to his fete, and looming that most of the medical officers Lad been rendered incapable of discharging their emits, it was thought expedient to send to that past an officer of rank and experience, with several skilful surgeons, to useertein the origin of the fever, and the probability of its "recurrence there In furore seasons ; to fertish every assist • Attlee te ' those who were suffering, and if .procticatile,* to avoid the necessity of abandoning so important a station. lt.'tidituodere Rogers, with a prumptitude which did him tolette, iheerfolly accepted that tron;and has distrWrged 'it in the manner anticipated from his skill and patriotism. • Wore his arrival Cointoodoze Portent,. with the • *greater party( the squadron, had teamed from the island, end leferned to the United States, in consequence of the pre 'wailing sickness'.

There was due by the department to contractors, on the tit day of July last, twenty t ail thpusiod five hundred and forty eight dollars and sixty four cents. • • • The tranapeuteglop of. the mail, velthie fite yearn pest, has been greatly, extended, and the expenditures of the department proportionably Increased. Although the 'postage which hes aterned.withiu the last three years, has Istien.sltort of the ex penditures twp t.undred and sixty two thousen t eight hundred and twenty one dollars end forty six cents, it appears that collections have been made from the ontatinding balances, to meet The principal part of the current demands. 1 1 It is estimated that not more than two hundred' and fifty thousand dollars of the above balances eon be collected, and that a considetible part of this sum can only be realized by a resort to legal process. Some improvements in the receipts for postage is expected. A prompt a•tention to the collection of moneys received by post masters, it is believed, will *liable the department to continue its operations without aid from the Treasury, unless the expenditure shall be increased by the establishment of new mail routes. A rev taloa of some parts of the post office law may be ne• cessary ; and it is submitt,d, whether it would not be proper to provide for the appointment of post masters, where the compensation exceed a certain amount, by nomination to the Senate, as other officers of the general government are ap pointed. Having communicated my views to Congress, st the emir meseetnent of the last session, respecting the encouragement which ought to be given to our manufactures, and the principle on which It should be founded, 1 have only to add, that those views remain unchanged, and that the present state of those countries with which we have the most immediate plitical relations, and greatest commercial intercourse, tends to confirm them. Under this impression, 1 recommend a review of the tariff, for the purpose of affording such additional protection to those articles which we are prepared to manufacture, or 'which are more immediately connected with the defence and Independence of the country. The actual state of the public accounts, furnishes addi tional evidence of the efficiency of the present system of accountability, in relation to the public expenditure. Of the monies drawn from the Treasury since the fourth of March, one thousand eight hundred and seventeen, the sum remaining unaccounted for, on the 30th of Sept. last, is more than a million and a half of dollars less than on the Stith► of Sept. preceding ; and during the same period a re duction of nearly a million of dollars has been made in the amount of the unsettled accounts for monies advanced pre viously to the 4th of March, one thousand eight hundred and seventeen. It will he obvious that, in proportion as the mass of accounts of the latter description is diminished, by settlement, the difficulty of settling the residue is increased from the consideration, that in many instances, it cam be ob tained only by legal process. For more precise details on this subject, I refer to a report front the First Comptroller of the Treasury. The sum which, was appropriated at the last session, for the repair of the Cnmberlaod road, has been applied with 'good effect to that object. A final report has not letsheen received from the agent who was appointed to superintend it. As soon as it is received, it 'shall be communicated to Congreas. Many patriotic and enlightened citizens, who have made the subject an object of particular investigation, have sug .gestcd an improvement of still greater importance. They are of opinion that the %raters of the Chesapeake and Ohio, may be - connected together, by one continual canal, and at an expense far abort of the value and importance of the object to be obtained. If this could be accomplished, it is impossible - to calculate the beneficial consequeoc.s which would result from it. A great portion of the produce of the very fertile country through which it.would pass would find a market through that channel. Troops might be moved with great facility in year, with cannon, and every - 110 of amtuttnition, and in either direction. Connecting Atlantic with the western country, in a line passing ti e t . Lough:the seat of the national government, it would con t ibute: essentially to strengthen the bond of union itself.— fleheying, as I do. that Congress possess the right to ap propriate money for !web a national object (the jurisdietteta,l peinatniag to the states through whieb the coral would passy I stsbriail it to your consideration whether it may not he, isleisable to authorise, by an adequate a ppropriation, the employment of a suitable number of the officers of the goer of the eogineera, to examine the unexplored ground dining the next season, and to report their opinion thereon." i-- It will likewise be proper to extend their examination to the. several routes through which the waters of the Ohio may be connected, by canals, with those of Lake I Erie. As the Cumberland road will require annual repairs, and Congress have not thought it expedient to recommend to the states an amendment to the constitution, for the purpose of vesting in the United States a power to adopt and execute a system of internal improvement, it is also I submitted to your consideration, whether it may not be expedient to authorise the Executive to enter into an afrauganent with the several states through which the road passes, to establish tolls each withiu its limits, for the purpose of defraying the expense of future repairs, and of proeidine also, by suitable penalties, for its protection against future injuries. The act of Congress of the ;th of May, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-two, appropriated the sum of twenty-two thousand seven hundred dollars for the purpose of erecting two piers as al shelter for vessels front ice, near Cape Ilenlopen, Delaware Bay. To effect the object of 1 the act, the officers of the 'Board of Engineers, with I Commodore Bambridge, directed to prepare plans and 1 estimates of piers sufficient to answer the purpose intended by the act, It Appetit, by their report, which accotnpantes he decumetits from the War Department, that the ap .orepriation is not adeqoete ld to the purpose intended ice, end, as . the piers wou bs„. of at sery loath to the navigation of the Delaware Bay, and the pro tection of vessels. on the adjacent parts of the coasts, I submit for the consideration of the • Congress whether ad• ditional and sufficient apprOnriatiens sheald . not be made. 'The Board of Engineers were also directed to exam ine sod survey the entrance of the harbour of the Port of Pres '"quisle in Peosylvania, in order to make an estimate of the expense of removing the obstroetions to the entrance, nits a plan of the best mode of effecting the sante ender the appropriation for that parpos ~ by act of Congres spassid by 3.1 Aerate last. The report of the hoard accompanied the pa. pin from the War Department,and is submitted for the con sideration of Congress. A strong hope itaS been long entertained, founded on the keroic struggle of the Greeks, that they would succeed in their, Contest, 'and resnme their equal station among the options of the earth. It is {whereat that the whole civilized :World ilkei a deep Interest in their welfare. Although no Power has des tared In their favour, yet none, according td our infornietfon,ltas taken pert against them. Their `ciase . ' and tfizir iiiiie hive protected them from dangers, which 'atigtt•, ere this, have overWhilmed any other peopl e. ;414e or 4inar y calculations of interest, and of acquisition, with a vicar te age. andinment, which mingle so welt iu the imrissetiOne of oolong, item to have had no effect in regard to them. From the farts which have come to our litidni Ago; there Is good cane to believe that their enemy has lost for ever all dominion over them -, that tircece sill bemuse againan independint nation.

It i. only when Out rights are invaded, or seriously menaced : Viet we resent. injuries, or make. prepeption for our defence. With the movements in this Itenstiphere, we are, of eezessity, more. immediately connected; and by causes whitio must lie obvious to all - enliglatened and impartial observers. the political system of the Allied Provers. is essentially different, in WS respect, ftotli that 'of America. This difference proceeds from that which exists in their respective govern:tie:lto. And - ter Are defence of our, own. which flan been achieved by the loss of so Much blood amid teeasure, and metered by the wisdom of their west enlightened citizens, and, under which we „hove l enjoyed unexampled felicity, this whole nation is delimited. We owe it, therefore to candour , and tO the; AthieithlP relatierle , existing between the Unill4 States and those Powers, to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hewn- phere as dangerous to our peace and safety. With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European Power' we have net interfered, and shall not interferes But, with the governments who hive declared their independ ence, and maintained it, and whose independence we have, on great consideration, and on just principles, at know lodged. we could not view any interposition for theother pur , pose of oppressing them, or contro l l in g in apy , 'tanner their 'destiny, by any European Power, in any ' . ntlier light than as the manifestation an unfriendl mitsposition towards the United States. l o n t he war betweeny those new governments and Spain. we declared our n-u- . trality at the time of their recognition; and to this we have adhered, and shall continue to adhere, provided no change shall occur, which in the judgment of the com- 1 patent authorities of this government, shill make a corres ponding change, on the part of the United States,. indis• pensable to their security. The late events in Spain anti Portugal show that Europe is still unsettled. Of this important fact no stronger proof can be adduced, than that the Allied Powers should have thought it proper, ou any principle satisfactory to them selves, and have interposed, by force, in the internal con cerns of Spain. To what extent such interpositions may be carried on the same principle, is a question is which all independent PoWers, whose Govern m ents differ fronts theirs, are interested ; even those most remote, and sorely none more so than the United States. Oar policy, in regard to Europe, which was adopted at an early age of the wars which have so long agitated that quarter of the globe, nevertheless remains the same; which is, not to interfere in the internal concerns of any of its Powers; to consider the government dejiseto as the legitimate government for us; to cultivate friendly relations will it, and to preserve those relations by a frank, firm, and manly policy ; meeting in all instances, the just claims of everyPoaer—submoltting to injuries from none. But, in regard to those continents, circumstances are eminently and conspicuously different. It is impossible that the Allied Powers should extend their political system to any portion of either continent, with Out endangering our peace and happiness ; nor can awy one be lieve that one southern brethren, if left to themselves, won!d adopt it of their own accord. It is equally -impossible,. therefore, that we should behold such interposition, in any. .form, with indifference. If we look to. the competitive.. xtrcngth and resources of Spain, and those. new Gotern meats, and their distance from each other, it mnst be ob vious that she ran never subdue them. It is still the true policy of the United States. to leave the parties to them selves, in the hope that other Powers will pursue the same course. • if we compare• the present condition of our Union with its actual state at the close of our revolution, the history of the world furnishes no example of progress in improvement in all the impor ant cir- I cumstances which constitute the happiness of a atation, which bears any resemblance to it. At the first e', our population did not exceed 3,0130,000. By the 'census it amountiri to about 10,000,000, ancl, what is snore extraordinary, it is almost altogether natise —for the 'emigration from other countries has been inconsiderable. At the first epoch, half the territorewithin our acknowledged limits was uninhabited and aadlaeraestan- since then, new ' territory bas been acquired,. of, vosi.eztent, comprising withip it many rivers, particularly the Mississippi, the I navigation of which, to the ocean, wee of the highest Ml .pemortance to the original states. Over this territory our lopulation, has expanded in every ,Airectioo, and new states ha'e been established, almost equal in number to those which formed time first bond of our union, This ex pansion of onr,popnlation and accession of new states to our union, have ball the happiest effect on all its highest interests. That it has eminently aug mented our resources, and added to one strength and respectability as a power, is admitted by all. But it is not in these Circumstances only that this happy effect is felt. It is manifest that, by enlarging the basis of oar system, sod increasing the number of States, the system itself has been greatly strengthened in both i.s branches. Uonsoli dation and disunion have thereby been rendered eqtlally im practicable. Each Government, confiding on its own strength, has less to apprehend from the other, and, in consequence, each enjoying a greater freedom of action, is rendered more efficient for all the purposes for which it was instituted. It is unnecessary to treat here of the vast inn provement made in the system itself by the adoption of this constitution, and of its happy effect In elevating the character, and in protecting the rights of the nation, as well as of individuols. To what, then do we owe these bles , • inos? It is known to all that we derive them front the excellence of our institutions. Ought we not, then, to adopt every measure which may be necessary to perpetuate them! JANIS Mot ROIL Wasbingtoo, Dec. 2. 1.523. . .
