Solicitor. Cursitor street. Chancery-lane; at Garraway's; and of W. Davies and Sou, Auctioneers, Oiltspur-street.. The policy of the United States, in their commercial in.. rcourse with other nations, has always been of the most liberal character. In the mutual exchange of their respective productions, they have abstained altogether from prohibitions—they have Interdicted themselves the power of laying taxes upon exports, and when ever they have favoured their own shipping, by special preference, or exclusive privileges in their own ports, it has been only with a view to countervail similar favours and exclusions granted by the nations with whom we have been engaged in trathc, to their own people or shipping, and to the disadvantage of ours. imme diately after the close of the last war, a proposal was fairly made by the Act of Congress of the 3d of March. 1815, to all the mari time nations, to lay aside the system of retaliating restrictions and exclusions, and to place the shipping of both parties in the com mon trade on a footing of equality, in respect to the duties of tonnage and impost. This offer was partially and successively ac cepted by Great Britain, Sweden, the Netherlands, the Banaeatie cities, Prussia Sardinia, the Duke of Oldenburg, and Russia. It was also adopted, under certain modifications, in our late commer cial convention with France. And. by the act of Congress of the Bth of January, 1824, it has received a new confirmation, with all the nations who had acceded to it, and has been offered again to all those who are, or may hereafter be, willing to abide in reci procity by it. But all these regulations, whether established by treaty or municipal enactments, are still subject to one important restriction. The removal of discriminating duties of tonnage and impost is limited to articles of the growth, produce, or manu facture of the country to which the vessel belongs, or to such articles as are most usually first shipped from her ports. It will deserve the serious consideration of Congress, whether even this remnant of restriction may not be safely abandoned, and whether the general tender of equal competition, made in the act of the (Stir of January, 1824, may not be extended to include all articles of merchandise not prohibited, of what country soever they may be the produce or manufacture. Ptopositions to this circa have already been made to us by more than one European Government ; and it is probable that it once established by legislation or com pact with any distinguished maritime state, it wouli recommend itself by the experience of its advantages to the general accession of all. The performance commences at Two o'clock, at 101, St. Mar• tin's.lane. Admittance la.

The latest accounts received of this important undertaking authatise the belief that it is in successful progress. The payment intu the Treasury from proceeds of the sales of the public lands, during the present year, were estimated at one mil lions of dollars. The actual receipts of the first two quarters bare fallen very little shirt of that sum ; it is not expected that the second half of the year will le equally productive; but the income of the year from that source may now be safely estimated at a cid lion and a half. The Act of Congress of the 18th of Slay 1824, to provide .ryelti relief rtotlie the purchasersextinguishmentpuro Stiotant"otoarfser, public o l the aon l f O s : 10th e o w f ad bi p itm r ildiwulaeis.tto.inthiettistiaernietedets46., at the end of the quarter during which It expired, was to reduce the debt from ten to seven millions. By the operation of similar prise laws of relief, from and since that of the 2d of March, 1821, taw debt has been reduced from upwards of twenty-two millions to ten. It is exceedingly desirable that it should be extinguished altogether; and to facilitate that c. nsummation, I recommend to Congress the revival for one year more of the Acts of 18th May, 1824, with sttela provisional modifications as may be necessary to guard the public i interests against fraudulent practice in the resale of the relinquished land. The purchasers of public lands are amongst the most useful of our fellow-citizens, and since the system of sales for cash alone has been introduced, great indulgence has been justly extended to those who had previously purchased upon credit. The debt which had been contracted under the credit sales had become unwieldy, and its extinction was alike advantageous to the purchaser and the public. Under the system of sales, matured as it has been by experience, and adapted to the exigencies of the times, the lands will continue, as they have become, an abundant source of revenue: and when the pledge of them to the public creditor shall be re deemed by the entire discharge of the national debt, the swelling tide of wealth with which they replenish the common treasury, may be made to reflow, in unfailing streams of improvement, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean.

The Convention of Commerce and Navigation between the United States and France, concluded on .he 24th of June, 11322, was, in the understanding and intent of both parties, us appears upon its face, only a temporary arrangement of the points of dif ference between them, of the most immediate and pressing ur gency. it was limited, in the first instance, to two years from the let of October, 1822, but with a proviso, that it should further continue in force till the conclusion ofa general and definitive treaty of commerce, unless terminated by a notice, six mouths in ad. vance, of either of the parties to the other. Its operations, so far as it extended, have been mutually advantageous ; and it still con tinues in force by common consent. But it left unadjusted several objects of great interest to the citizens and subjects of both coup. tries, and particularly a mass of claims, to considerable amount, of citizens of the United States upon the Government of France, of indemnity for property taken or destroyed under circumstances of the most aggravated and outrageous character. in tlic lung period during which continual and earliest appeals have been made to the equity and magnanimity of France in behalf of these claims, their justice has not been, as it could not be, denied. it was hoped that the accession ofa new sovereign to the throne would have aftbrded a favourable opportunity for presenting them to the consideration of his Government. They have been presented and urged, hitherto without effect. The repeated and earnest representations of our Minister at the Court of France remain as yet even without an answer.

One of her crew jumped on hoard the Russell. She proved to be the Zephyr, Smith, from Honduras, (Aland for London, in company with the Rosanne, of and for ditto. They both immediately hove to, and we did the same as soon as we got sail MI the ship, but saw no more of them. CAPTAIN AIANNY'S INVENTIOW:OT MOMS, evening last, during the heavy gale off Yarmouth, a small coal - laden brig wet. driven on shore to the north of the new pier, and by the prompt at. tendance of persons belonging to the revenue service, communication was soon effected, by their throwing u line over the vessel with a shot from the mortar, and the crew, four in number, were happily brought in safety to the shore on a sling, when no other means could have saved them. It is worthy of remark, that from the time this plan of preservation from shipwreck has been brought into use, now eighteen years, on a space of coast so notorious for fatal ship wrecks, that according to the recollections and tradition of very old inhabitants, many had annually perished, not a single life has since been lost front stranded vessels.—Nary Gazette. EAST INDIA SHIPPING. The Indus, Moriarty, from Sumatra, has arrived at Cowes. Sht left Padang on the :k1 of Septembet o end tit. Helena the sth of November. Sir Edward Coke cites a record, in which Edward 111. commands the Mayor of London to remove all idle women from the neighbourhood of the Carmelite brethren in Fleet street. • judication by the sentence or an impartial tribunal, those to which I now refer would long since have been settled, and adequate in demnity would have been obtained. There are large amounts of similar claims upon the Netherlands, Naples, and Denmark. Far those upon Spain prior to 181'J, indemnity was, after many years of patient forbearance, obtained ; and those upon Sweden have been lately compromised by a private settlement, in which the claimants themselves have acquiesced. The Governments of Denmark and of Naples have been recently reminded of those yet exi,ting against them ; nor will any of them be forgotten while a hope may be in dulged of obtaining justice, by the means within the constitutional power of the executive, and without resorting to those measures of self-redress, which, as well as the time, circumstances and occa sion, which may require them, are within the exciusive competency of the Legislature. It is with great satisfaction that I am enabled to bear witness to the liberal spirit with which the Republic of Cokanbia has nude satisfaction fur well-established claims of a similar character; and among the documents now communicated to Congress will be dia. linguistic(' a Treaty of Commerce and Navigation with ti , at Repub.. lic, the ratifications of which have been exchanged since the last recess of the Legislature. The negotiation of similar treaties with all the independent South American States has been contemplated, and may yet be accomplished. The basis of them all, as proposed by the United States, has been laid io two principles—the one of entire and unqualified reciprocity ; the other the mutual obligation of the parties to place each other permanently upon the footing of the most favoured nations. These principles ere, indeed, indispen sable to the effectual emancipation of the American hemisphere from the thraldom of colonizing monopolies and exclusions—an event rapidly realizing in the progress of human affairs, and which the resistance still opposed in certain parts of Europe to the ac knowledgement of Southern American Republics as independent States will, it Is believed, contribute more effectually to accomplish. The time has been, and that not remote, when some of those States might, in their anxious desire to obtain a nominal recognition, have accepted of a nominal independence, clogged with burthensome conditions, and exclusive commercinl privileges granted to the 111. Lion from which they have separated,to the disadvantage of all others. They arc now well aware that such concessions to any European nation would be incompatible with that independence which they have declared and maintained. Among the measures which have been suggested to them by the new relations with one another, resulting from the recent changes of their condition, is that of assembling at the Isthmus of Pimento a Congress, at which each of them should be represented. to deli berate upon objects important to the welfare of all. The Re publics of Colombia, of Mexico, and of Central America, have already deputed Plenipotentiaries to such a meeting: and they have invited the United States to be also represented there by their Ministers. The invitation has been accepted, and Ministers on the part of the United States will be commissioned to attend at those deliberations, and to take part in them, so far as may be compatible with that neutrality from which it is neither our inten tion, nor the desire of the other Ametican States, that we should depart. I'he Commissions under the seventh article of the Treaty of Ghent have so nearly completed their labours, that, by the Report recently received from the Agent on the part of the United States, there is reason to expect that the Commission will be closed at their next Session, appointed for the 22d of May of the ensuing year. The other Commission, appointed to ascertain the indemnities due fur slaves carried away front the United States. after the close of the late war, have met with some difficulty, which has delayed the progress of the inquiry. A reference has been made to the British Government on the subject, which, it may be hoped, will tend to hasten the decision of the Cotunnissioners, or serve no a substitute for it. Among the powers specifically granted to Congress by the Con stitution are t ho se of establishing uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States, and of providing fur organising, arming, and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States. The magnitude and complexity of the interests affected by legislation upon these subjects may account fur the fact, that long and often as both of them have occupied the attention, and ani mated the debates of Congress, no systems have yet been devised for fulfilling, to the satisfaction of the community, the duties pre; scribed by these grants of power. To conciliate the claim of She individual citizen to the enjoyment of personal liberty, with the effective obligation of rivals contracts, is the difficult problem to The condition of the various branches of the public service re sorting from the Department of War, and their administratiuts during the current year, will be exhibited in the Report from the Secretary of %Far, and the accompanying documents herewith communicated. The organization and discipline of the army are effective and s..tisfactory. To counteract the prevalence of desertion. among the troops, it has been suggested to withhold from the men a small portion of their monthly pay until the period of their dia. charge ; and some expedient appears to be necessary to preserve and maintain among the officers so much of the art of horseman ship as could scarcely fail to be found wanting, on the possible sudden eruption of a war, which shnuld not overtake us unprovided with a single corps of cavalry. The Military Academy at West ' Point, under the restrictions of a severe, but parental, superintend. ence, recommends itself more and more to the patronage of the eatinn ; and the number of meritorious officers which it forms and introduces to the public service, furnishes the means of multiply. ing thr undertakings of public improvements, to which their. ac. quircments at that institution are peculiarly adapted. The school of artillery practice, established at Fortress Monroe, is well suited to the same purpose, and may need the aid of further legislative provisions to the same end. The reports from the various officers at the head of the administrative branches of the military service connected with the quartering, clothing, subsistence, health, mid pay, of the army, exhibit the assiduous vigilance of those racers in the performance of their respective duties, and the falthfhi ac. countability which has pervaded every part of the system. Our relations with the numerous tribes of aboriginal natives of this country, scattered over to extensive surface, and so dependent, even for their existence, upon our power, have been, during the present year, highly interesting. An Act of Congress of the 23;h of May, 1824, made an appropriation to defray the expensea of making Treaties of Trade and Friendship with the Indian Tribes beyond the Mississippi. An Act of 3d March, 1025, authorised treaties to be made with the Indians for their consent to the making of a road from the frontier of Missouri to that of New Mexico ; and another Act of the sanie date provided for defraying the ex penses of holding treaties with the Sioux, Chippeways, Illenome nees, Saux, Foxes, &c. for the purpose of establishing boundaries. and promoting peace between the said tribes. The first and the last objects of these Acts have been accomplished; and the second is yet in a process of execution. The treaties which, since the last Session of Congress, have been concluded with the several tribes, will be laid be'ore the Senate for their consideration, con foolishly to the Constitution. They comprise large and valu able acquisitions of territory and they secure an adjustment of boundaries, and give pledges of permanent peace between seve ral tribes which had been long waging bloody wars against each i other. On the 13th of February last a treaty was signed at the Indian Springs, between Commissioners appointed on the part of the United States, and certain Chiefs and individuals of the Creek Nation of Indians, which was received at the seat of Uovernment only a few days before the close of the last Session of Congress and of the late Administration. The advice and consent of the Senate was given to it on the 3d of March, too late to receive the sanc tion of the then President of the United States It was ratified tot the 7th of March, under the unsuspecting impression that it bad been negotiated in good faith, and in the confidence inspired by the recommendation of the Senate. The subsequent twine. tions in relation to this treaty will form the subject of a septrate Message. The appropriations made by Congress for public works, as we:l in the construction of fortifications as for purposes of internal im provement. as far as they have been expended, have been faithfully applied. Their progress hss been delayed for want of suitalifie officers for superintending them. An increase of both the Corps of Engineers, Military and Topographical, was recommended by my predecessor at the last Session of Congress. The reasons upon which that recommendation was founded subsist in all their force. and have acquired additional urgency since that time. It may also be expedient to organise the Topographical Engineers into a corps similar to the establishment of the Corps of Engineers. The Mi litary Academy at West Point will furnish, from the cadets annu ally graduated there, officers well qualified for carrying this measure I into effect. • The Board of Engineers. for Internal Improvement appeinte for carrying into execution the Act of Congress of the 30th of April, 1824, " to procure the necessary surveys, plans, and esti ) mates on the subject id and canals," bare been actively sty. ; it 4? . - SALES BY Atitlo4: GOOD SHOP AND CONVENIE.NT DWELLING.
