STRAYED CHILDREN AND INSANE PERSONS. Saa,—l am directed by the Poor-law Commissioners to : request that you will call the , early attention of the Board of Guardians, to which you act as Clerk, to the subject of the Means which the Commissioners have determined to adopt for ere c ti ng the restoration of strayed children, and insane per fens found wandering abroad, to their friends and relatives. After conferring with the Metropolitan Commissioners of Police, and the Commissioner of Police for the City of London, the Poor-law Commissioners have determined on issuing the order, of which three copies are herewith transmitted to you. You are requested to place one of those Copies in the hands f)f the Master of your Workhouse, and direct his attention to its provisions. ' The Commissioners of Police for the Metropolis and for the City of London, will respectively take care that all possible Publicity is given to the notices forwarded to them by affixing the same at the principal Police Stations, and the - Poor-law Commissioners do not doubt. that the Guardians will zealously c°-opei ate in promoting the speedy restoration of children, anti helpless persons, to their parents or friends. Independently of the obvious humanity of such a measure, the Peor-law Coro- Inissioners conceive that it will have a tendency to prevent the prolonged chargeability of parties found destitute under such circumstances. The need of some measure for this purpose is proved by the •fact, that in the six months of the year 1840, from March to August inclusive, no less than 349 children were found by the Police and sent to different Workhouses within the Metro. Politan Police district. It will be necessary that the Master of the Workhouse and the Clerk to the Guardians should be furnished with a •safacient number of printed notices in the proper form. The Commissioners will take care to give due publicity to ' this circular. and to their order, by advertisement in the public 'Niters. I have the honour to be; Sir, your most obedient servant, EDWIN CHADWICK, Secretary.

The Directors hereby give notice to Members whose Pre miums fall due on the sth of January next, that the same must be paid within thirty days from that date. The Premiums are payable Yearly, Half-yearly, or Quarterly, on the sth of January, sth of April, sth of July, and sth of October, either of which several days constitutes the commence ment of the year to MEMBERS. Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, AS MEMBERS, on the sth of January next, should appear, or lodge their proposals at the Office on or before that day. So various are the plans now before the public f 0 r effecting Assurance on Life, that it may, at first sight, seem difficult to make choice between them. As, however, all prudent offices make a considerably higher charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following classification may be made :- Ist. Proprietary Offices, where all the surplus from pre miums and other profits is divided exclusively amongst the Share or Stockholders. 2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions between Share and Stockholders and the assured. 3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the profit is equitably distributed amongst the assured only. The Metropolitan, which is of the last class, was established in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of adver tising resorted to, yet its advantages have been so well appre ciated by the public, that the annual premiums alteady exceed 36,0001. _ _ In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's af fairs, the annual premiums of members of five years' standing have been reduced forty per cent., and a confident expectation may be entertained of an increased rate of reduction at no dis tant period. A plan of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained on application at the Office. RICHARD HEATHFIELD, Superintendent. Princes-street, Bank, December 8, 1841, IMPORTANT. —Many Persons after learning that so many wonderful Cures have been effected by PARR'S LIFE PILLS, have a great desire to procure the Medicine which has done so much good. In doing this, how ever, caution must be observed, as certain individuals, without honour or honesty, are offering a dangerous substitute instead of the genuine Medicine. The Proprietors cannot, of course , _ be accountable for any untoward results that may ens ue to those who have been thus imposed upon, but they can point out an effectual means to prevent further imposition. Purchasers may be sure they have the genuine Medicine, if they find the words PARR'S LIFE PILLS engraved on the Government Stamp, in White Letters on a Red Ground.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of se doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all th e outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is ne member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, fo r want of careful ' investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of Con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both Sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, tco by perusing this work, be di rec t e d and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the t oo often con cealed practices so often introduced into sch oo l s, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure l i promised, unless the evil be arrested in pr o p er t i me. He will here find a clue to guide him through the i n t r i cate mazes of this moral labyrinth, an d a standard wh ere by to j udge, when delicacy of health should appear to atta c k any of o his be young m charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character _is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

AMERICAN NEWS MOST IMPORTANT FROM AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY MORNING, THREE O'CLOCK. By the arrival of the New York packet-ship Independence, Captain Nye, we have advices from that city to the Sth instant inclusive. This arrival furnishes us with President Tyler's Ad dress—a most important document as regards this country :- THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. To THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES. In coming together, fellow-citizens, to enter again upon the discharge of the duties with which the people have charged us, severally, we find great occasion to re joice in the general prosperity of the country. We are in the enjoymentaif all the blessings of civil and religious liberty, with unexampled means of education, knowledge, and improvement. Through the year which is now drawing to a close, peace has been in our borders, and plenty in our habitations ; and although dis ease has visited some few portions of the land wi:h distress and mortality, yet in general the health of the people has been preserved, and we are all called upon. hp the highest obligations of duty, to renew our thanks and our devotion to our Heavenly Parent, who has continued to vouchsafe to us the eminent blessings which surround us, and who has so signally crowned the year with his goodness. If we find ourselves increasing, beyond ex ample, in numbers, in strength, in wealth, in knowledge, in everything which promotes human and social happi ness, let us ever remember our dependence, for all these, on the protection and merciful dispensations of Divine Providence. Since your last adjournment, Alexander M'Leod, a British subject, who was indicted for the murder of an American citizen, and whose case has been the subject of a correspondence heretofore communicated to you, has been acquitted by the verdict of an impartial and intelligent jury, and has, under the judgment of the Court, been regularly discharged. Great Britain having made known to this Government that the expedition which was fitted out from Canada for the destruction of the steamboat Caroline in the winter of 1837, and which resulted in the destruction of the said boat and in the death of an American citizen, was undertaken by orders emanating from the authorities of the British Go vernment, in Canada, and demanding the discharge of M'Leod upon the ground that, if engaged in that expedition, he did but fulfil the orders of his Govern ment, has thus been answered in the only way in which she could be answered by a Government, the powers of whi2h are distributed among its several departments by the fundamental law. Happily for the people of Great Britain, as well as those of the United States, the only mode by which an individual, arraigned for a criminal of fence. before the Courts of either, can obtain his dis charge, is by the independent action of the judiciary, and by proceedings equally familiar to the Courts of both countries. If in Great Britain a power exists in the Crown to cause to be entered a nolle prosequi, which is not the case with the Executive power of the United States, upon a prosecution pending in a State Court ; yet there, no more than here, can the chief Executive power rescue a pri soner from custody without an order of the proper tribu nal directing his discharge. The precise stage of the proceedings at which such order may he made, is a matter of municipal regulation exclusively, and not to be com plained of by any other Government. In cases of this kind, a Government becomes politically respon sible only, when its tribunals of last resort arc shown to have rendered unjust and injurious judg ments in matters not doubtful. To the establishment and elucidation of this principle, no nation has lent its authority more efficiently than Great Britain. Alex ander /il‘.Leod having his option either to prosecute a writ of error from the decision of the Supreme Court of 'New York, which had been rendered upon his appli cation for a discharge, to the Supreme Court of the United States, or to submit the case to the decision of a Jury, preferred the latter, deeming it the readiest mode of obtaining his liberation and the result has fully sustained the wisdom of his choice. The manner in which the issue submitted was tried will satisfy the English Government that the principles of justice will never fail to govern the enlightened decision of an Ame rican tribunal. I cannot fail, however, to suggest to Con gress the propriety, and, in some degree, the necessity, of making such provisions by law, as far as they may constitutionally do so, for the removal at their commence ment, and at the option of the party, of all such cases as may hereafter arise, and which involve the faithful observance and execution of our international obli gations, from the State to the Federal Judiciary, This Government, by our institutions, is charged with the maintenance of peace and the preservation of amicable relations with the nations of the earth, and ought to possess, without question, all the reasonable and proper means of maintaining the one and preserving the other. IVhilst just confidence is felt in the Judiciary of the States, yet this Government ought to be competent in itself for the fulfilment of the high duties which have been devolved upon it under the organic law, by the States themielves. In the month of September. a party of armed men from Upper Canada invaded the territory of the United States, and forcibly seized upon the person of one Gro gan, and, under circumstances of great har s h ness , hur riedly carried him beyond the limits of the United States, and delivered him up to the authorities of Upper Canada. Hii immediate discharge was ordered by those authori ties, upon the facts of the case being brought to their know ledge—a course of procedure which was to have been expected from a nation with whom we are at peace, and which was not more due to the rights of the United States, than to its own regard for justice. The corres pondence which passed between the Departm e nt o f State, and the British Envoy, Mr. Fox ' and with the Governor of Vermont, as soon as the facts had been made known to this Department, are herewith commu nicated. I regret that it is not in my power to make known to you an equally satisfactory conclusion in the case of the Caroline steamer, with the circum stances connected with the destruction of which, in December, 18.7, by an armed force fitted out in the Province of Upper Canada, you are already made acquainted. No such atonement as was due for the public wrong done to the United States by this invasion of her territory, so wholly irreconcileable with her rights, as an independent Power, has yet been made. In the view taken by this Government, the inquiry whether the vessel was in the employment of those who were prosecuting an unauthorised war against that Province, or was engaged by the owner in the business of trans porting the passengers to and from Navy Island in hopes of private gain, which was most probably the case, in no degree alters the real question at issue between the two Governments. This Government can never concede to any foreign Government the power, except in a case of the most urgent and extreme necessity, of invading its territory, either to arrest the persons or destroy the pro perty of those who may have violated the municipal laws of such foreign Government, or have disregarded their obligations arising under the law of nations. The territory of the United States must be regarded as sacredly secure against all such invasions, until they shall voluntarily acknowledge their inability to acquit themselves of their duties to others. And in announcing this sentiment I do but affirm a principle which no na tion on earth would be more ready to vindicate, at all hazards, than the people and Government of Great Britain. If, upon a full investigation of all the facts, it shall appear that the owner of the Caroline was governed by a hostile intent, or had .made common cause with those who were in the occupancy of Navy Island, themselves, so far as he is concerned, there can be no claim to indemnity for the,destrnction of his boat, which this Government would feel itself bound to prosecute — since he would have acted not only in derogation of the rights of Great Britain, but in clear viola tion of the laws of the United States ; but that is a question which, however settled, in no manner involves the higher consideration of the violation of territo rial sovereignty and s jurisdiction. To recognise it as an admissible practice that each Govern ment, in its turn, upon any sudden and unautho rised outbreak, which, on a frontier, the extent of which renders it impossible for either to have an efficient force on every mile of it, and which outbreak, therefore, neither may be able to suppress in a day, may take ven geance into its own hands, and without even a remon strance, and in the absence of any pressing or overruling necessity may invade the territory of the other, would inevitably lead to results equally to be deplored by both. When border collisions come to receive the sanction, or to be made on the authority of either Government, gene ral war must be the inevitable result. While it is the ardent desire of • the United States to culti vate the relations of peace with all nations, and to fulfil all the duties of good neighbourhood towards those :who possess territories adjoining their own, that very desire would lead them to deny the right of any foreign power to invade their boundary with an armed force. The correspondence between the two Governments on this subject, will, at a future day of your session, be submitted to your consideration; and in the meantime I cannot but indulge the hope that the British Government will see the propriety of renouncing, as a rule of future action, the precedent which has been set in the affair at Schlosser. I herewith submit the correspondence ,yhich has recently taken place between the American Mine ter at the Court of St. James, Mr. Stevenson, and the Mit:ls ter of Foreign Affairs of that Government, on the right; claimed by that Government to visit and detain vesseN sailing under the American flag and eringelt - ln prose cuting lawful comm e r c e i n the African Our commercial interest s i n that re r b ri on have become exile' rienced considerable increase, and have, object of much import ance, and it is the duty of this Government to protect them against all improper and vexatious interruption. However desirous the United States may be for tho suppression of the slave trade, they cannot consent to interpolations into the maritime code, at the mere will and pleasure of other Governments. We deny the right of any such interpolation to any one, or.Aighe nations of the earth, without our consent. We claim to have a voice in all amendments or alterations of that code ; and when we are given to understand, as in this instance, by a foreign Government, that its treaties with other nations cannot be executed without the establishment and enforcement of new principles of maritime police, to be applied without. our consent, we must employ a language neither of equi vocal import, nor susceptible of misconstruction. Ameri can citizens prosecuting a lawful commerce in the African seas, under the flag of their country, are not responsible for the abuse or unlawful use of that flag by others ; nor can they rightfully on account of any such alleged abuses, be interrupted, molested, or detained while on the ocean ; and if thus molested and detained while pur suing honest voyages in the usual way, and violating no law themselves, they are unquestionably entitled to indem nity. This Government has manifested its repugnance to the slave-trade in a manner which cannot be misunder stood. By its fundamental law it prescribed limits in point of time to its continuance ; and against its own citizens, who mi g ht so f a r f orge t t e rights of humanity as to engage in that wicked traffic, it has long since by its municipal laws, denounced the most condign pu nishment. Many of the States composing this Union had made appeals to the civilised world for its suppres sion, long before the inJral sense of other nations had be come shocked by the iniquities of the traffic. Whether this Government should now enter into treaties con taining mutual stipulations upon this subject, is a question for its mature deliberation. Certain it is, that if the right to detain American ships on the high seas can be justified on the plea of a necessity for such detention, arising out of the existence of treaties between other nations, the same plea may be extended and enlarged by the new stipulations of new treaties, to which the United States may not be a party. This Go vernment will not cease to urge upon that of Great Bri tain, full and ample remuneration for all losses, whether arising from detention or otherwise, to which American citizens have heretofore been, or may hereafter be, subjected, by the exercise of rights which this Go vernment cannot recognise as legitimate and proper. Nor will I indulge a doubt but that the sense of justice of Great Britain will constrain her to make retribution for any wrong, or loss, which any American citizen, engaged in the prosecution of lawful commerce, may have experienced at the hand of its cruisers, or other public authorities. This Government, at the same time, will relax no effort to prevent its citizens, if there be any so disposed, from prosecuting a traffic so revolt ing to the feelings of humanity. It seeks to do no more than to protect the fair and honest trader from molesta tion and injury ; but while the enterprising mariner, engaged, in the pursuit of an honourable trade, is en titled to its protection, it will visit with condign punish ment others of an opposite character. I invite your attention to existing laws for the suppres sion of the African slave trade, and recommend all such alterations as may give to them greater force and effi cacy. That the American flag is grossly abused by the abandoned and profligate of other nations, is but too probable. Congress has not long since had this subject under its consideration, and its importance well justifies renewed and anxious attention. I also communicate herewith the copy of a corres pondence between Mr. Stevenson and Lord Palmerston, upon the subject so interesting to several of the Southern • States, of the rice duties, which resulted honourably to the justice of Great Britain, and advantageously to the United States. At the opening of the last annual session the Presi dent informed Congress of the progress which had then been mad e i n negot i at i ng a convention between this Go• vernment and that of England, with a view to the final settlement of the question of the boundary between the ter ritorial limits of the two countries, I regret to say that little further advancement of the object has been accomplished since last year ; but this is owing to circumstances no way indicative of any abatement of the desire of both parties to hasten the negotiation to its conclusion, and to settle the question in dispute, as early as p oss ible. In the cour se o f the se ss ion, it is my hope to be able to an nounce some further degree of progress, towards the ac complishment of this highly desirable end. The Commission appointed by this Government for the exploration and survey of the line of boundary separat ing the States of Maine and New Hampshire from the conterminous British provinces, is, it is believed, about to close its field labours, and is expected soon to report the results of its examinations to the department of State. The Report, when received, will be laid before Congress. The failure on the part of Spain to pay, with punc tuality, the interest due under the Convention of 1834, for the settlement of claims between the two countries, has made it the duty of the ExecutiVe to call the par ticular attention of that Government to the subject. A disposition has been manifested by it, which is believed to be entirely sincere, to fulfil its obligations in this re spect, so soon as its internal condition and the state of its finances will permit. An arrangement is in progress, from the result of which, it is trusted that those of our citizens who have claims under the Convention, will, at no distant day, receive the stipulated payments. A Treaty of Commerce and Navigation with Belgium was concluded and signed at Washington on the 29th March, 1840. and was duly sanctioned by the Senate of the United States. The Treaty was ratified by his Bel gian Majesty, but did not receive the approbation of the Belgian Chambers within the time limited by its terms, and has, therefore, become void. This occurrence assumes the graver aspect from the consideration that, in 1833, a Treaty negotiated between the two Governments, and ratified on the part of the United States, failed to be ratified on the part of Bel gium. The Representative of that Government, at Washington, informs the Department of State that he has been instructed to . give explanations of the causes which occasioned delay in the approval of the late Treaty by the Legislature, and to express the regret of the King at the occurrence. The Joint Commission under the Convention with Texas, to ascertain the boundary between the two coun tries, has concluded its labours, but the final Report of the Commissioner of the United States has not yet been received. It is understood, however, that the meridian line, as traced by the Commission, lies somewhat further to the East than the position hitherto generally assigned to it, and, consequently, includes in Texas some part of the territory which had been considered as belonging to the States of Louisiana and Arkansas. The United States cannot but take a deep interest in whatever relates to this young, but growing Republic. Settled principally by emigrants from the United States, we have the happiness to know, that the great principles of civil liberty are there destined to flourish, under wise institutions and wholesome laws ; and that, through its example, another evi dence is to be afforded of the capacity of popu lar institutions, to advance the prosperity, happiness, and permanent glory of the human race. The great truth, that Government was made for the people, and not the people for Government, has already been estab- lished in the practice and by the example of these United States ; and we can do no other than contemplate its further exemplification by a sister Republic with the deepest interest. Our relations with the independent States of this hemisphere, formerly under the dominion of Spain, have not undergone any material change within the past year. The incessant sanguinary conflicts in, or between those countries, are to be greatly deplor ed, as necessarily tending to disable them from per forming their duties as members of the community of nations, and rising to the destiny which the posi tion and natural resources of many of them might lead them justly to anticipate, as constantly giving occasion also directly or indirectly, for complaints on the part of our citizens who resort thither for purposes of commer cial intercourse, and as retarding reparation for wrongs already committed, some of which are by no means of recent date. The failure of the Congress of Ecuador to hold a ses sion at the time appointed for that purpose, in January last, will probably render abortive a treaty of commerce with that Republic, which was signed at Quito on the 13th of June, 1839, and had been duly ratified on our part, but which required the approbation of that body, prior to its ratification by the Ecuadorian Executive. A Convention which has been concluded with the Republic of Peru, providing for the settlement of cer tain claims of citizens of the United States upon the Government of that Republic, will be duly submitt e d to the Senate. . 1 Tae claims of our citizens against the Brazilian Go vernment, originating .from captures and other causes, are. still unsatisfied. The United States h ave, h owever, so uniformly shown a disposition to cultivate relations of amity with that Empire, that it is hoped the unequivccal tokens of the same spirit towards us, which an adjust ment of the affairs referred to would afford, will be given without further avoidable delay.

The expenditures for the first three quarters of year amount to 24,734,346 dol. 97c. The expendi ures for the fourth quarter, as estimated, will amount to 7,290,723 dol. 73c. ; thu s making a total of 320050,070 dol. 70c., and leaving a deficit to be provided for, on the first January next, of about 627,557 dol. 90c. Of the loan of 12,000,000 dol., which was authorised by Congress at its late session, only 5,432,726 dol. 88c. have been negotiated. The shortness of time which it had to run has presented no inconsiderable impediment in the way of its being taken by capitalists at home while the same cause would have operated with much greater force in the foreign market. For that reason the foreign market has not been resorted to ; and it is no submitted whether it would not be advisable to amend the law by making what remains undisposed of payable at a more distant day. Should it be necessary, in any view that Con gress may take of the subject, to revise the exist ing tariff of duties, I beg leave to say, that, in the performance of that most delicate operation, mode rate counsels would seem to be the wisest. The Government, under which it is our happiness to live, owes its existence to the spirit of compromise which prevailed among its framers—jarring and discordant opinions could only have been recon ciled by that noble spirit of patriotism, which prompted conciliation, and resulted in harmony. In the same spirit the Compromise Bill, as it is commonly called, was adopted at the session of 1833. While the people of no portion of the Union will ever hesitate to pay all necessary taxes for the support of Government, yet an innate repug nance exists to the imposition of burthens not really ne cessary for that object. In imposing duties, however, for the purposes of revenue, a right to discriminate as to the articles on which the duty shall be laid, as well as the amount, necessarily and most properly exists. Otherwise the Government would be placed in the condition of hav ing to levy the same duties upon all articles, the productive as well as the unproductive. Theslightest duty upon some, might have the effect of causing their importation to cease, whereas others entering extensively into the consumption of the country, might bear the heaviest, without any sensible diminntion in the amount imported. So also the Government may be justified in so discrimina ting, by reference to other considerations of domestic policy connected with our manufactures. So long as the duties shall be laid with distinct reference to the wants of the Treasury, no well founded objection can exist against them. It might be esteemed desirable that no such augmentation of the taxes should take place as would have the effect of annulling the Land Proceeds Distribution Act of the last session, which Act is declared to be inoperative the moment the duties are increased beyond 20 per cent., the maximum rate established by the Compromise Act. Some of the provisions of the Compromise Act, which will go into effect on the 30th day of June next, may, however, be found exceedingly inconvenient in practice, under any regulations that Congress may adopt. I refer more particularly to that relating to the home valuation. A difference in value of the same articles to some extent, will, necessarily, exist at different parts ; but that is altogether insignifi cant, when compared with the conflicts in valua tion which are likely to arise from the differences of opinion among the numerous appraisers of mer chandise. In many instances the estimates of value must be conjectural, and thus as many different rates of value may be established as there are appraisers. These differences in valuation may also be increased by the inclination, which, without the slightest imputation on their honesty, may arise on the part of the appraisers in favour of their respective ports of entry. I recommend this whole subject to the consideration of Congress, with a single additional remark. Certainty and permanency in any system of governmental policy are, in all respects, eminently desirable; but more particularly is this-true in all that affects trade and commerce, the operations of which depend much more on the certainty of their re turns, and calculations which embrace distant periods of time, than on high bounties, or duties, which are liable to constant fluctuations. At your late session I invited your attention to the condition of the currency and exchanges, and urged the necessity of adopting such measures as were consis tent with the cor.stitutional competency of the Govern ment, in order to correct the unsoundness of the one, and as far as practicable the inequalities of the other. No country can be in the enjoyment of its full measure of prosperity, without the presence of a medium of ex change, approximating to uniformity of value. What is necessary as between the different nations of the earth, is also important as between the inhabitants of different parts of the same country • with the first the precious metals constitute the chief medium of circulation, and such also would be the case as to the last, but for iirven- .ons comparatively modern, which have furnished, in place of gold and silver, a paper circulation. I do not propose to enter into a comparative analysis of the me rits of the two systems. Such belonged more properly to the period of the introduction of the paper system. The speculative philosopher might find inducements to prosecute the inquiry, but his researches could only lead him to conclude that the paper system had probably better never have been introduced, and that society 1 inigh, have been much happier without it. The practi cal statesman has a very difficult task to perform. He has to look at thing-s as they are—to take them as he finds them, to supply deficiencies, and to prune excesses as far as in him lies. The task of furnishing a corrective for derangements of the paper medium with us i.w almost inexpressibly great. The power exerted by the States to charter banking corporations, and which, having been carried to a great excess, has filled the country with, in most of the States, an irredeemable paper medium, is an evil which, in some way or other, requires a correc tive. The rates at • which bills of exchange are nego tiated between different parts of the country, furnish an index of the value of the local substitute for gold and silver, which is, in many parts, so far depreciated as not to be received, except at a large discount, in payment of debts, or in the purchase of produce. It could ear nestly be desired that every bank, not possessing the means of resumption, should follow the example o the late United States Bank of - Pennsylvania, - and go into liquidation, rather than by refusing to do so to continue embarrassments in the way of solvent institutions,thereby augmenting the difficulties incident to the present condi tion of things. Whether this Government, with due re gard to the rights of the States, has any power to con strain the banks, either to resume specie payments, or to force them into liquidation, is an inquiry which will not fail to claim your consideration. In view of the great advantages which are allowed the corporators, not among the least of which is the authority contained in most of their charters to make loans to three times the amount of their capital, thereby often deriving three times as much interest on the same amount of money as any individual is permitted by law to receive, no sufficient apology can be urged for a long continued suspension of specie payments. Such suspension is pro ductive of the greatest detriment to the public, by ex pelling from circulation the precious metals, and se• riously hazarding the success of any effort that this Go vernment can make to increase commercial facilities and to advance the public interests. This is the more to be regretted, and the indispensa ble necessity for a sound currency becomes the more manifest, when we reflect on the vast amount of the internal commerce of the country. Of this we have no statistics, nor just data for forming adequate opinions. But there can be no doubt, but, that the amount of trans portation coastwise, by sea, and the transportation inland by railroads an canals and b, steamboats and other modes of cOnveyance over the surface of our vast rivers and immense lakes, and the value of pro perty carried and inte rc h anged by these means, form a - general aggregate t o w hi c h th e fore i gn co mmerce of the country, large as it i s, ' makes but a di s tant approach. In the absenc e o f any controllin g power over this sub ject, which, by forcing a general res umption of specie payments, would at once have the effect of restoring a sound medium of exchange, and would leave to the country but little to desire,what measure of relief, fulling within the limits of our constitutional competency, does it become your last session, which it proposed this Government to adopt ? It was my painful duty at obligations, to differ with Congress on the measures under the weight of most solemn approval, and which it doubt less regarded' as corrective of existing evils. Subsequent reflection, and' events since occurring, have only served in the opinions then entertained, and to confirm me frankly expre ssed . add, that be permitted to no scheme of govern mental must by individual exertions, can be mental policy, unaided. available for a meliorating the present condition of things. for my onlmercial modes of exchange and a good currency are b u t the necessary means of commerce and inter course, n ot the direct productive sources of wealth. Wealth can only be accumulated by the earnings of in dustry and the savings of frugality ; and nothing can be more ill-judged than to look to facilities in borrowing, or to a redundant circulation as the power of discharg ing pecuniary obligations. The country is full of re sources, and the people full of energy, and the great a n d permanent remedy for present embarrassments must be sought in industr), economy, the observance of go o d faith, and the favourable influence of time. In pursuance of a pledge given to you in my last mes- . sage to Congress, which pledge I urge as an apology for adventuring to present you the details of any plan, the Secretary of the Treasury will be ready to submit to you. should you require it, a plan of finance which, whil e i t throws around the public treasure reasonable guards for its protection ' and rests on powers acknowled ge d i n prac tice to exist from the origin of the Government, will at the same time, furnish to the country a sound paper medium, and afford all reasonable facilities for regulating the exchanges. When submitted, you will perceive in it a plan amendatory of the existing laws in relation to the Treasury Department—subordinate in all respects to the will of Congress directly, and the w ill o f the people indirectly—self-sustaining, should it be found in practice to realize its promises in theory, and repealable at the pleasure of Congress. It proposes by effectual restraints, and by invoking the true spirit of our institu tions, to separate the purse from the sword; or more pro perly to speak, denies any other control to the President over the agents who may be selected to carry it into ex ecution, but what may be indispensably necessary to secure the fidelity of such agents ; and, by wise regula - tions, keeps plainly apart from each other, private an d public funds. It - contemplates the establishment of a Board of Control at the seat of Government, with age n cies at prominent commercial points, or wherever el se Congress shall direct, for the safe keeping and disburse ment of the public moneys, and a substitution, at th e option of the public creditor, of treasury notes, in lieu of gold and silver. It proposes to limit the issuesAQ .an amount not to exceed 15,000,000 dol., without the expre FS sanction of the Legaiative _power. It also authorises
