It is with deep concern I am now to infi thr favourable prospect has been refusal of the British Governmi act of its Minister Plcnipoteni suing policy towards the Uni through the co.— to replace him. " Whatever pleas may be . of engagements formed by dii ries, in cases where, by the terms of the engage ments, a mutual ratification is reserved ; or where notice at the time may have been ;given of a de parture from instructions ; or in extraerdinacy cases, essentially violating the principles of qui. ty, a disavowal could not have been apprehended in a case where no such notice or violation existed, where no such ratification was ;Peened, and more especially, where, as is now in proof, an engagement, to be executed without any such rati fication, was contemplated by the instructions given, and where it had, with good faith, been carried into immediate execution on the part of the United States. " These considerations not having restrained I the British Government from disavowing the ar rangement by virtue of which its Orders in Coen. cil 'sere to be revoked, and the event authorising the renewal of outnniercial intercourse having thus not taken plafe, it necessarily became a qaestion of equal urgetcy and importance, whether the act prohibiting that intercourse was not to be consi dered as remaining in legal force. This question be ing, after due deliberation, determined in the affir mative, a proclamation to that effect was issued.. It could not but happen, however, that a return' to this state of things, from that which had follesellid an execution of the arrangement by the'United States, would involvedifficulties. With a view to diminish these as much as possible, the instrec. lions from the Secretary of the Treasury, now laid before yew, were transmitted to the Collectors of the several ports. if in permitting British vessels to depart, wiebentgiviag bond& not to proceed to their own ports, it should appear that the tenor of legal authority has not been strictly pursued it is to be ascribed to the anxious desire which was felt, that no individuals should be injured by so unforeseen an occurrence: and I rely on the regard of Cyngress, fur the equitable interests of our own citizens, to adopt whatever further pro. visions may be foetid requisite for a general re. mision of penalties involuntarily incurred. " The recal of the disavowed Minister haring been followed by the appointment of a successor, hopes were indulged that the new Minister would contri bute to alleviate the disappointment which had been produced, and to remove the causes which had so lung embarrassed the good understanding of the two nations. It could nut hedoubtcd, that it would at least be charged with conciliatory explanations of the steps which had been taken, and with proposals 1 to be substituted for the rejected arrangement. Rea sonable and universal as this expectation was, it also has not been fulfilled. From the first official discio. sums of the new Minister, it was found that he had received no authority teenier in explanations relative to either branch of the arrangement disavowed; nor any authority to substitute proposals, as to that branch, which concerned the British Orders in i Council : and finally, that his proposals with respect ! to the other branch, the attack on the frigate Cher- i apeake, were founded an a presumption, repeatedly declared to be inadmissible by.the United States; that the first step toward.. adjustment seas due from them ; tile proposals, at the same time, umittiug even a refereitc4l6 'the officer anrerable•' r the 1 murderous aggression, ' and asscrtinia claim lot less contrary to the British laws, and British practice, than to the principles and obligations of the United States. " Tbe correspondence between 41/e'department of State and this Minister will she's:o . l4,w issesseotially the features presented its its consrnencemeiit have been varied ie its progress. It will show also, that forgetting the respect due to all governments, he did nut refrain from imputations un this, which required that so further communications should be received from him. The necessity of `this stop will be made known to his Britannic Majesty through the Minister Plenipotentiaryuf the United States in Loathes. And it would in dicate a want of confideos• due to a government which so well understands and exacts what becomes Foreign Ministers near it, not to infer that the misconduct of its own Representative will be viewed in the same light in which it has been regarded here. The British Government will learn, at the same lime, that a ready attention will be given to cominunicatiuus, through any channel which may be substituted. It will be happy, if the change is this respect should be accompanied by a favourable revision of the unfriendly policy which has been so long pursued towards the United States. 64 With France, the other belligerent, whose trespasses on our commercial rights have long been the subject of our just remonstrances, the posture of our relation does nut.correspuud with, the tura. cures taken on the put of the United Stites, to cifect a favourable change. The result of the se. veral communications made to her Government', in pursuance of the authorities vested by Congress in the Erecntixe, is contained in the correspon. dence of our Minister at Paris, now laid beforeme: " By some pf the other belligerents, although professing just and amicable dispositions, injeriel materially affecting our commerce have not bees!. duly controuled or repressed. In these cases, thy.. interpositions deemed proper on our part have sot . begs omitted. But it well deserves the censiderai.. tioA of the Legislature, how far both the satody, id thcbonr ,f the American kg be ' by to inspire _ distrust as to the continuance of the existing amity. With, our Indian neighbours, the just and benevolent system continued toward them has also preserved peace, and is more and more advancing habits fa vourable to their civilization and happiness. " From a statement which will be made by . the Secretary of IVar, it will be seen that the fortica. Lions yn our maritime frontier are in many of the ports completed, affording the defence which was contemplated, and that further time will be re quired to render complete the works in the her. liner of New York, and in some other places.— fly the enlargement of the works, and the cm rloyment of a greater number of hands at the public armouries, the supply of small arms, of an improving quality, appears to be annually iu creasing, at a rate, that with those made on pri vate contract s may be expected to go far towards providing for the public exigency. " The Acts of Congress, providing foe Abe equipment of our vessels of war, having been . fully carried into executieu, I refer to the state. silent of the Secretary of the Navy for the in for. mation which may be proper on that subject.— To that stateinent is added a view of the transfers of appropriations, authorised by tie Act of the Session preceding the last, and of the grounds GA which the transfers were made. 64 Whatever may be the course of yogi chute. rations on the subject of our military establish.• meats, I should fail in my duty in not recom mending to your serious attention the importance pf giviug to osor ryilitie, time great Windt or our security, and resource of our power, an or.. puizstion the best adapted to eventual siisa. Lions for which the United States ought to be prepared. " The sums which had been previously accu. updated in the Treasury, together with the receipts during the year ending on the 30th of September last (and amounting to more than 9 millionsof dol. la's), have enabled us to fulfil all our engage. ments, and to defray the current expences of Go vernment without recurring . to any loan. But the insecurity of our commerce, and the come roost dimiuution of the public revenue, will pro. bably produce a deficiency in the receipts of the ensuing year. for which, and for other details, I refer the statements which will be transmitted from the treasury. " In the state which has been presented of our. affairs with the great parties to a disastrous aiel protracted war, carried on in a mode equally in jurious and unjust to the United States as a neutral nation, the wisdom of the 'National Legislature will be again summoned to the important decision of the alternatives before them. That these will be met in a spirit worthy the councils of a nation, conscious both of its rectitude and of its rights, and careful as well of its honour as of its peace, I have an entire confidence. And that the result will be stamped by a unanimity becoming the oc casion, and be supported by every portion of our citizens, with a patriotism enlightened and invigor. sued by experience, ought as little to be doubted. " In the midst of the wrongs and vexations eaperienced from external causes, there is much, room for ceqgratrlation on the prosperity and happiness floiiug from our situation at home._._ The blessing of Willa has never been more uni. versal. The fruits of the seasons, though in par. ticular articles and districts short of their usual redundancy, are more than sufficient fur our wants and our comforts. The face of our country every where presents the evidence of laudable enterprise, of extensive capital, and of dura ble improvement. In a cultivation of the ma terials, and the extension of useful manufactures, inure especially,io the general application to house hold fabrics, we behold a rapid diminution of our dependence on foreign supplies.—Nor is it unwor thy of reflection, that the revolution in our pursuits wed habits is its no slight degree a consequence of of those impolitic and arbitray edicts, by which the contending nations, iu endeavouring each of them to obstruct our trade with the other, have to far abridged our means of procuring the prothietions and manufactures, of which our own are now taking the place. 46 Recollecting always, that for every Oven tage which may cudtribute to distinguish our lot from that to which others are doomed by the un.; happy spirit of the times, we arc indebted to that Divine Providence, whi,sse goodness has been so remarkably eateutled to this rising nation, it be. cones us to cherish a devout gratitude, and to im. plore from the same omnipotent source a blessing un the consultations and measures about to be un. dertaken fur the welfare of our beloved country.
