MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT OF TIIE UNITED STATES, COMMUNICATED TO BOTH HOUSES, AT THE COMMENCE. MENT OF THE FIRST SESSION OF THE TWENTIETH CON CRESS. To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Unite, States. FELLOW CITIZENS OF THE SENATE, AND OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES : A revolution of the seasons has nearly been completed since the Representatives of the People and States of this Union were last assembled at this place, to deliberate and to act upon the common important interests of their con stituents. In that interval the never-slumbering eye of wise and beneficent Providence has continued his guardian care over the welfare of our beloved country. The bless ing of health has continued generally to prevail through out the land. The blessing of peace with our brethren of the human race, has been enjoyed without interruption ; internal quiet has left our fellow-citizen, in the full enjoy ment of all their rights, and in the free exercise of all their faculties, to pursue the impulse of their nature, and the obligation of their duty, in the improvement of their owe condition. The productions of the soil, the exchanges commerce, the vivifying labours of human industry, have combined to mingle in our cup a portion of enjoyment as large and liberal as the indulgence of heaven has perhaps ever granted to the imperfect state of man upon earth ; and as the purest of human felicity' consists in its partici pation with others, it is no small addition to the suns of our national happiness, at this time, that peace and pros perity prevail to a degree seldom experienced Over the whole habitable globe ; presenting, though as vet with painful exceptions, a foretaste of that blessed period of promise, when the lion shall lie down with the lamb, and wars shah be no more. 'lO preserve, to improve, and to perpetuatt. the sources, and to direct, in their most effective chan nels, the streams which contribute to the public weal, is the purpose for which Government was instituted. Objects of deep importance to the welfare of the Union are con stantly recurring, to demand the attention of the Federal Legislature; and they call with accumulated interest, at the first meeting of the two Houses, after their periodica' renovation. To present to their consideration from time to time, subjects in which the interests of the nation are most deeply involved, and for the regulation of which the legislative will is alone competent, is a duty prescribed by the Constitution, to the performance of which the first meeting of the new Congress is a period eminently appro priate, and which is now my purpose to discharge. Our relations of friendship with the other nations of the earth, political and commercial, have been preserved un impaired; and the opportunities to improve them have been cultivated with anxious and unremitting attention.— A negociation upon subjects of high and delicate interest with the Government of Great Britain, has terminated in the adjustment of some of the questions at issue upon satis factory, terms, and the postponement of others for future discussion and agreement. The purposes of the Conven tion concluded at St. Petersburgh on the 12th day cfJuly, 1822, under the mediation of the late Emperor Alexander, have been carried into effect by a subsequent Convention, concluded at London on the 13th of November, 1826, the ratifications of which were exchanged at that place on the 6th day of February last. A copy of the Proclamation is sued on the 19th day of March last, publishing this Con . - vention, is herewith communicated to Congress. The suns of twelve hundred and four thousand nine hundred and sixty dollars, therein stipulated to be paid to the claimants of indemnity under the first article of the Treaty' of Ghent, has been duly received, and the commission instituted con formably to the act of Congress of the 2d of March last, for the distribution of the indemnity to the persons entitled to receive it, are now in session, and approaching the con summation of their labours. This final disposal of one of the most painful topics of collision between the United States and Great Britain, not only affords an occasion la; gratulation to ourselves, but has had the happiest effect in promoting a friendly disposition, and in softening asperities upon other subjects of discussion. Nor ought it to pass without the tribute of a frank and cordial acknowledgment of the magnanimity with which an honourable nation, by the reparation of their own wrongs, achieves a triumph snore glorious than any field of blood can ever bestow. The Conventions of 3d July, 181.5, and of 20th Octo ber, 1818, will expire by their own limitation on the 20th of October, 1828. These have regulated the direct coin mercial intercourse between the United States and Great Britain, upon terms of the most perfect reciprocity : and they effected a temporary compromise of the respective rights and claims to territory westward of the Rocky Mountains. These arrangements have been, continued for an indefinit e p er i o d o f t i me, a f ter the expiration of t h e above-mentioned Con ven ti ons : —l eav i ng each party the h belly of terminati ng th em , b y g i v i ng twelve mont h s notic e to the other. Th e ra di ca l pr i nc i p l e o f all commercial in, tercourse between independent nati ons , i s the mutual Inte rest of both partie s . It i s t h e v i ta l sp i r i t o f trad e itself; nos- ean it be reconciled to the nature of man, or to the primary l a w s o f h uman soc i ety, t h at eny tr a ffi c should long be willi ng ly pursue d , o f w hi c h all the a d vantages arc on one side, an d a ll th e b ur d ens ea the oth er . Treaties of Commerce have b een f oun d, by excierien ce , to be among the most effective instruments for promoting peace and harmony between nations whose interests, exclusively eon sidered on either side, are brought i n t o f requent coll i s i ons by competition. In framing such treaties, it is the dnty of each party, not simply to urge with unyielding pertina city that which suits its own interest, but to concede libe rally to that w hirls 1, adapted to the interest of the other. To accomplish this, little more is generally required than a simple observance of the rule of reciprocity ; and were it possible for the statesmen of one nation, by- stratagem and eef, 'eseeeee management, to obtain Tat the weaknes le- e - orignorance of another, an over-reaching treaty, such a compact would prove an incentive to war rather than a bond of peace. Our conventions with Great Britain are founded upon the prin cieles of reciprocity. The commercial intercourse between the two countries is greater in magnitude and amount than between any other two nations of the globe. It is, for all purposes of benefit or advantage to both, as precious and in all probability, far more extensive than if the parties were still constituent parts Of one and the same nation.— Treaties between such States, regulating the intercourse of peace betwen them, and adjusting interests of such trans =dant importance to both, which have been found, in a long experience of years, mutually advantageous, should not be lightly cancelled or discontinued. Two conventions for contiheing in force those above-mentioned have been con cluded between flit Plenipotentiaries of the two Govern ments, on the 6th August last, and will be forthwith laid before the Senate for the ceettise of their constitutional authority concerning thew. In the execution of the Treaties of Peace of Novem ber, 1782, and September, 1783, between the United States and Great Britain, and which terminated the war of our Independence, a liue of boundary was drawn as+ the demarcation of territory between the two countries, extending over near twenty degrees of latitude, at. 4 ranging over seas, lakes, and mountains, then very im perfectly explored, and scarcely opened to the geogra phical knowledge of the age. In the progress of dis covery and settlement by both parties since that time, several questions of boundary between their respective territories have arisen, which have been found of ex ceedingly difficult adjustment. At the close. of the lest war it-ith Great Britain, four of these questions pressed themselves tipeet the consideration of the negotiators of the Treaty of Gheet, het without the means of conclud ing a definitive arraeeetneet concerning them They wer e referred to three separate eommissions, consisting of two'Cominissioners, one appointed by each party, to examine and decide upon their respective, claims. In the event of disagreement between the Commissioners, it was provided that they should make reports to their several Governents ; , au/ thatesthe reports should finally be teferted to the decieion of a Sovereign, the common friend of both. Of these Commissions, two have already terminated their sessions and investiga tions, one by entire, and the ether by partial agreement. The Commissioners of the fifth article of the Treaty of Ghent have finally disagreed, and made their conflicting reports to their o w n Gov e rnments. But front tlaae re ports a great difficulty has occurred is making up a ques tion to be decided by the Arbitrator. This purpose has, however, been effected by a foerth Convention, eon eluded at London by the Plenipotentiaries of the two Governments on the 29th of September last. It will be submitted, together with the others, to the consideration of the Senate. While these questions have been pending, incidents have occurred of conflicting pretension., and of dangerous cha racter upon the territory itself in dispute between the twee nations. By a common understanding between the Go vernments it was agreed that no efterciee of exclusive juris diction by either party, while the negotiation was pending, should change the state of the question of right to be defi nitively settled. Such collision has nevertheless recently taken place, by occurrences, the precise character of which has not yet been ascertained. A communication from the Governor of the State of Maine, with accompanying docu ments, and ,a correspondence between the Secretary of State and the Minister of Great Britain, on this subject, are now communicated. Measures have been taken to as certain the state of the fats more correctly by the employ ment of a special agent to visit the spot where the alleged outrages have occurred, the result of whose enquiries, when received, willhe transmitted to Congress. While so many eof the subjects of interest to the friendly relations between two countries have been so far adjusted, it is matter of regret that their views respecting the commercial intercourse between the United Stems and the British Colonial possessions have not equally approxi mated to a friendly agreement. At the commencement of the last Session of Congress, they were informed of the sudden and unexpected era:fu sion-by the British Government, of access, in vessels of the United States, to all their colonial ports, except those immediately bordering upon their own territories, In the amicable discussions which have succeeded the adoption of this measure, which, as it affected harshly the interests of the United States, became a subject of expostulation on our part, the principles upon which its justification he i been placed have been of a diversified character. It lies been at once ascribed to a mere recurrence to the old long established principle of colonial monopoly, and at the eame time to a feeling of resentment because the offers of an Act of Parliament, opening the colonial ports upon certain conditions, bad not been grasped at' with sufficient eager ness by an instantaneous -conformity to them. At a sub sequent period it has been intimated that the new exclu sion was in resentment because a prior Act of Parliament of 1822, opening certain colonial ports under heavy and burdensome restrictions to vessels of the United States, had not been reciprocated by an admission of British ves sels from the colonies, and their cargoes, without any re striction or discrimination whatever. But, be the motive for the interdiction what it may, the British Government have manifested no disposition, either by negociation or by corresponding legislative enactments, to recede from it, and we have been given distinctly to understand, that neither of the bills which were under the consideration of Congress at their last Session, would have been deemed sufficient in their concessions, to have been rewarded by any relaxation from the British interdict. It is one of the inconveniences inseparably connected with the attempt to adjust by reci procal legislation interests of this nature, that neither party can know what would be satisfactory to the other ; and that after enacting a statute for the avowed awl sincere purpose of conciliation, it will generally be found utte rly inadequate to th e e xp e ctations of the other pltrty, and will terminate in mutual disappointment. The session of Congress having terminated withotet act upon the subject, a Proclamation was issued on the 17th of March last, conformably to the provisions of the 6th section of the Act of Ist March, 1823, declaring the fact that the trade and intercourse authorized by the British Act of Parliament, of 24th June, 1822, between the United States and the British enumerated Colonial Ports, had been by the subsequent Acts of Parliament of the sth July, 1825, and the Order of Council of 27th July, 1826, pro hibited. The effect of this Proclamation, by the terms of the Act under which it was issued, has been, that every provision of the Act concerning Navigation, of 18th April, 1810, and of the Act supplementary thereto of the 15th May, 1820, revived, and is in full force. Such, then, is the present condition of the trade, that useful as it is to both parties, it can, with a single momentary exception, be car ried on directly by the vessels of neither. That exception itself is found in a Proclamation of the Governor of the Island of St. Christopher, and of the Virgin Islands, invi ting, for three months, from the 28th of August last, the importation of the articles of the produce of the United States, which constitute their export portion of this trade, in the vessels of all nations. That period having already expired, the state of mutual interdiction has again taken place. The British Government have not only declined negociation upon this subject, but, by the principle they have assumed with reference to it, have precluded even the means of negotiation. It becomes ill the self-respect of the United States, either to solicit gratuitous favours, or to ac cept as the grant of a favour that for Whi c h an ample equivalent is exacted. It remains to be determined by the respective Governments, whether the trade shall lie opened by acts of reciprocical legislation. It is in the mean time satisfactory to show, that apart from the inconveniences re sulting from ti disturbance of the usual channels of trade, no loss has been sustained by the commerce, the navigation, or the Revenue of the United States, and none of magni tude is to be apprehended from this existing state of mutual interdict. With the other maritime and commercial Nations of Europe, our intercourse continuer with little variation. Since the cessation, by the Convention of the 24th of June, 1822, of all discriminating duties upon the vessels of the United States and of France, in either country, our trade w i t h that nation has increased and is increasing. A dispo sition on the part of France has been manifested to renew that negotiation ; and, in acceding to the proposal, we have expressed the wish that it might be extended to other objects, upon which a good understanding between the parti es would be ben e fi c i a l t o t h e i nterests o f both. The y r ea f k r e ie n t e ,d d iy as i i n t H e e: i t s : e t: cc :qua: __ --- n origin ra o n f ee tlie is p c o o li e t r ic a a l l w r i e th lati t o h n e s 6 between the u h tl e t i i . iit:idl eSpetaattie_s ,enee. The memory of it is interwoven with that of ouc arduous struggle for national reco has occasionally been since that time, it can by us nerer be forgotten ; and we should hail with exultation the moment which should indicate a tl spirit, on th e pa r t o f France. A f res h e ff ort has recently been made by th e Minister of the U n i te d States residing at Paof Paris, to toe obtain a consid erat i on of the just claims of citizens United States, to the reparation of wrongs long since committed, many of them frankly acknowledged, and all of them entitled, upon every principle of justice, to a candid examination. The proposal last made to the French Government has been to refer the subject, which has formed an obstacle to this consideration, to the deter mination of a Sovereign, the common friend of b , •th. To this offer no definitive answer has yet been received ; hut the gallant and honourable spirit which has at all times been the pride and glory of France, will not ultimately permit the demands of innocent sufferers to be exth, ;' 6 t On Friday the 4th January will be published, price 3d.
