LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2, 1833. (No. 12,578.) FRANCE. THE WRON(S OF POLAND-O. P. Q.'S AD DRESS TO THE REFORMED BRITISH PAR LIAMENT. " Europe, bear my voice ; 'tis the voice of martyrdom ! Schr)neeld knows how to die, hut knows not how to yield. Look on from a:al-, thou prudent Europe, and admire those whom thou Jarest not assist ! "And thou, whose boasted friendship revived the mon ster we bad stifled in our arms (as the fabled Ceres was R lid to revive AL-rue, whom Hercules had subdued in vain). " Tremble, ,1,- Court of Berlin—thou barbarous and perfidious Cour Haply, one day, the descendants of the heroes of Ligny will fall on thy devoted city, and doom thee to as swift d , f:truction as that which Rigny's fleet in flicted on the stupid k.)st of the Infidel."—D' Arblay's Chant Guerrier ,;c 7541onizis. To the EDITOR of the MORNING CHRONICLE. Paris, Dec. 29, 1832. Sir,—l am ::':out to address the members of the Reformed ;ritish Parliament, and my ad dress will to-da - be confined to " the Wrongs of Poland ! I could not select a more approptia.., til in. a mo%o to my letter extract which I have prefixed from a delicious poem which accident has thrown in my way, and which is entitled, " Chant Guerrier des Polonais, on Skrynecki (levant Varsovie. Par Alexandre d' Arblay." The poem bears the date of London, 1831, and though written in French, is accompanied by an eloquent and highly finished English transla tion. Those of your readers who may not have seen the work, will do well to purchase it, for its price is but a shilling, and it is full of lofty thoughts, noble principles, and true feeling. I never heard of the poem or of the author till a few days since, when accident threw this book across my path ; and I have since then repeated yet a thousand times, to myself an extract from one of the stanzas I have above cited— " Look on from afar, thou proudest Europe, and admire those whom thou darest not assist ! ! !" Gentlemen, Members of the British Reformed Parliament,—l shall now address myself to you —and my subject is " The Wrongs of Poland." Will you listen to me ? You are bound to do so —you cannot refuse—you owe it to huma nity—to your constituents—to your country— to the cause of civil and religious liberty all the world over—to religion—and to God! I did not address myself to an unreformed Parliament, because we had no right to expect either mercy, jus tice, patriotism, love of liberty, or religion from it. When the propositions which were submitted to it were rejected, I felt no surprise, and ex pressed no astonishment. It is a maxim as true in the political and moral, as in the physical world, that a " bad tree will bring forth bad fruit," and he must be a veritable blockhead who will hope to gather a vintage of grapes from fur rows of thistles. The fear of the triumph of 4 ‘ the Social Revolution Party" in England frightened the old Parliament into the Reform Bill, and secured its passing. We owe to that Parliament no thanks for the measure. They trembled lest its rejection should lead to the division of property—to the inspection of their title-deeds—to the annulling of the National Debt—and to the destruction of their privileges and honours ; and so they made a compromise with the people, and passed the Reform Bill. I do not, therefore, except front my denuncia j tions of the acts of the last Legislature any one of its acts, nor render it thanks for any one of its measures. If it could have resisted the people any longer it would have done so, and it yielded only to " A Birmingham Union ;" which was in itself a glorious and a bloodless revolution. We owe, then, to the :old Parliament, nothing but our maledictions, and we turn from the long, long, night of a dark, a howling, and a ruinous winter, to the rising sun of an opening, smiling, promising spring morning. We know that the spring time is changeable, that the cloud often follows quickly on the sunshine, and that light breezes will ruffle the blossoms which look so promising and pleasing ; but then, thank God, it is spring; and spring is the fore-runner of sum mer—and summer will lead us to the fruits, and produce, and abundance, of harvest ! Yes, yes ! the long dark howling night of winter, when Tories took from us our liberties—de prived us of our rights—and called themselves " watchmen" and " conservatives," instead of thieves and robbers—is passed away--and let us now hope that a British Reformed Parlia ment will listen with an attentive ear, a feeling heart, and a vigorous mind, to the " Wrongs of Poland ;" and that this Parliament will redress them ! I have selected this moment, Gentlemen, for addressing you on this subject, because on this day, this very day, that most wily, most talented, most ingenious, most subtle, most arbitrary diplo • matist, Count Pozzo di Borgo, Ambassador of his Most Christian Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, leaves this capital for that of London, and will iarrivo in yrsllv nity okt the ocanas. iimt gao this letter. I wish it, then, to meet him on Tues day morning next at his breakfast-table ; he will be sure to read it ; and he will not improbably render an account of it to his most humane, en lightened, and Christian master at St. Peters burgh ! The Count visits London for many objects. I will specify them all in a few words. He leaves, then, to carry on, and complete, if possible, the negotiations for a Russian Loan— he leaves to protest at London against any in terference on the part of the British Government in the affairs of Poland—he leaves to throw his influence into the scale in favour of the King of Holland—he leaves to denounce the liberal po licy of the Queen of Spain as dangerous—he leaves to procure, if possible, th e recogn ition o f Don Miguel as King of Portugal—and he leaves to declare that the Russian Government cannot see without alarm the advance of the Pacha of Egypt, the dangerous position of the Turkish empire, and the determination of the Emperor Nicholas to act as mediator and pacific ator ! These are the objects of his mission. He has great talent, abundant resources, a host of spies, and will succeed in every thing he desires, unless defeated by your virtue, your patriotism, an d your humanity. The Count Pozzo di Borgo visits London at this moment, in order to avoid congratulating Louis Philip on the return of the Ist of January, and in order to prevent his annoying the Tuile ries by saying too little, or the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh by saying too much. As the Nuncio of the Pope is not present, the Rus sian Minister should address to the King of the French " words of peace and amity ;" but he has no instructions to do this, and he therefore hastens his departure. It takes place to-day, an d he will open his British campaign on the Ist of January. I am, therefore, in the field before him. My letter will be published in the Chro nicle before he shall even have paid his first visit of ceremony, and the Prince de Talleyrand may present him with your Tuesday's Journal as a new year's present. lam anxious that when he asks the bankers of London for a loan, they should meet him with a demand for a redress of " the wrongs of Poland ;" that when he speaks of Spain, of Portugal, Belgium, and Greece, Poland should be rung in his ears ; and that when he pleads for the King of Holland, the British Go vernment should urge the cause of the inhabitants of Warsaw ; that when he flatters and compliments your Whig Nobility and your Whig Members of the House of Commons (and he will do this), the word " Poland" should be replied to him ; and that when, at the Court of St. James's, or at the Palace of Windsor, he shall protest the decire ofthe Court of St. Petersburgh to maintain the most close and sincere alliance with that of Great Britain—Lord Palmerston, aye, and William the Fourth should himself reply to the obsequious but jesuitical Minister, " We doubt not, M. Le Comte, of the sincerity of your protestation, but let us first have, if you please, the redress of the wrongs of Poland." I am anxious that if he goes to the theatre, he should hear Polish airs—that if he visits Al. mack's, he should see Polish colours—that if he dines with the city of London, he should hear as a toast, " To the regeneration and happiness of Poland ;" that if he appears in a procession, the word " Poland" should be cried by the mul titude, and that he may thus feel and know that reformed England, with her Reformed Parlia ment, is resolved net only to pity but to redress " the wrongs of Poland." Thus the visit of M. Pozzo di Borgo to England will be emi nently beneficial to the best of causes ; and in a few weeks he may have to write home to the Emperor—" Sire, if Poland be crushed, you can obtain no more loans—no more allies—and no more Treaties." Gentlemen of the Reformed British House of Commons, let me now present you with a plain recital of the wrongs of Poland, and a faithful picture of her present condition. This is my duty ; yours will succeed ! You will have to address the Throne—to speak to the Govern ment and to the King of Great Britain with a firm, respectful, and affectionate voice; and to thunder in the ears of an ignorant, uncivilized, and cruel Russian despot, " that the wrongs of Poland must be redressed ! !" Poland is deprived, by the Emperor Nicholas, of her independent existence. This is contrary to all existing treaties, and a violation of the terms of the European settlement of 1815. Po land is a Russian province. This is also an attack on engagements made, conventions signed, and treaties solemnly ratified. Poland no longer by its national independence exists as a barrier to the untired ambition of the Russian Czars; and if the blotting out of the kingdom of Poland from the map of Europe be tolerated by you, there is nothing to prevent the Russian Go vernment from marching hundreds of thou sands of troops to Germany, or the west or south of the Continent. Poland is deprived of her national army—of her national colours— of her national language—and of her national " Diet." Her Nuncios are banished—her No bles are proscribed—their property is confiscated —their sons are sent to Siberia—and their wives and daughters, under pain of perpetual exile, are interdicted from corresponding with the husbands of their bosoms and the authors of their beings. Poland is deprived of a free Press —of journals, of books—of even the right of instructing the rising generation in the French language and in French history ; and a professor whether public or private, dare not, but at the risk of his life, teach any child in all Poland that one little word LIBERTY ! Poland is de prived of the secrecy of letters. All corres ' pondences are opened ! all travellers are searched and examined with the most minute and death ' chilling rudeness and vulgarity. An exiled son may no longer send to his widowed mother even a bulletin of his health, and the father may no longer assure his children that he is not laid low in the grave. Poland no longer has the right of indicating any ameliorations, as necessary in her political or moral situation ; and the snows of Siberia are not cold enough to satisfy the Rus sian Court as the dwelling-place of him who shall dare in Poland even to speak of the revo lution. The children of the Poles have been dragged by thousands from their parents, and transported by force to be educated in Russian schools and military colonies, where the name of their country is never pronounced but with contumely or anathemas. Polish soldiers have ivcii tiaa,K 214 Lbc point of clic bayonet from the Prussian dominions under promises of pardon ; but on their arrival on the Polish terri tory, they have been thrown into dungeons, or banished to the mountains of Asia, or the death and the darkness of Siberia. In foreign lands, the Poles who have escaped from the sanguinary vindictiveness of Russian sabres, are pursued with the ferocious edicts and decrees of Russian diplomacy. In Prussia they have been put to death—from some of the smaller states of Ger many they have been banished, to afford satis faction to the Czar—and in France they are hunted out, watched over, and pursued with a blood-hound keenness and a disgraceful activity, by Russian spies and Russian emissaries. They They are not permitted to reside in the French capital, under pain of the Ambassador of Rus sia demanding his passports ; and a small Com mittee of the noblest and bravest of the land of Skrynecki have just received orders to leave for the French Departments. It is hoped by such a concession to preserve peace — and to satisfy the horse-leech propensities of Russian ambition. But no !—" Give—Give' —is the supposed cry of the creature to which I have alluded—and as with that animal, so with the Court of St. Petersburgh—you cannot content it by concession, and can only attack it with success by reducing it to inanition. Poland is governed by her worst enemies—by her hereditary haters- if -by unprincipled governors —by sycophantic and subservient slaves--and by those who pander to the appetites of Mos cow nobles, and the Czar of the Arctic Circle. Private property is not respected—confiscations have taken place to an immense amount — trade and commerce are ruined—the peasants arc reduced to slavery—the merchants to bank ruptcy—and even the Jews to despair. If a Pole dare to speak of independence, or to ex press a hope for the reformation of his country, he is put to death ;—and at Cronstadt the fine limbs of ,Polish patriots are exposed to the tor ture and the lash—to dungeons and to death— because they would not swear fidelity to their hereditary oppressor and to their Royal enemy. This is a picture of Poland on the 29th Decem ber, 1832. I pledge myself to you, Gentlemen, that it is a faithful picture. The journey of Lord Durham to St. Petersburgh has effected no good. Since his entreaties and his protests were made, the Russian Government has even re sorted to new cruelties—more galling acts of hu miliation—and a more oppressive system ofpolicy. France has represented in vain—Lord Durham has interceded in vain—and it is now for you, the free representatives of a free people, the most powerful and the most free in Europe—for you, whmare, no longer the paid hirelings of an Anti- National oligarchy, but the Reformed Members of a Reformed Legislature—to pronounce but four words, " Poland shall be independent." The Emperor dreads you The Emperor knows that Reform is a means, and not an end The Emperor has, therefore, sent his most zealous and most able representative amongst you. M. Pozzo di Borgo will be with you when you shall read this letter, and let the ingenious and subtle Minister learn from your own lips, and from your own address, that " the wrongs of Poland must be redressed ! !" " No, thou hast not seen thy last day—thou whom Albion admires—thou by whom France was saved. All is not lost ! 0 Poland !" For the voice of the British Reformed Legis lature shall declare that Poland shall be free !! I am, Sir, your obedient servant, 0. P. Q. AMERICA. THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT'S MES SAGE to the HOUSE of C ONGRESS. WASHINGTON, TUESDAY, DEC. 4. The two houses being in Session, Mr. Donelson, the Private Secretary of the President, presented the following Mesaage, which being read, double the usual number of copies were ordered to be printed : ME SSA GE. " Fellow-Citizens of the Senate and House of Representatives, " It gives me pleasure to congratulate you upon your return to the Seat of Government, for the purpose of discharging your duties to the people of the United States. Although the pestilence which has traversed the Old World has entered our limits, and extended its ravages over much of our land, it has pleased Almighty God to mitigate its severity, and lessen the number of its victims, compared with those who have fallen in most other countries over which it has spread its terrors. Notwithstanding this visitation, our country presents, on every side, marks of prosperity and happiness unequalled, perhaps, in any other portion of the world. If we fully appreciate our comparative condition, existing causes of discontent will appear unworthy of atten tion, and with hearts of thankfulness to that Divine Being who has filled our cup of prosperity, we shall feel our resolutions strengthened to preserve, and hand down to prosperity that liberty and that union which we have received from our fathers, and which constitute the sources and the shield of all our blessings. " The relations of our country continue to present the same picture of amicable intercourse that I had the satisfaction to hold up to your view at the opening of our last session. The same friendly pro fessions, the same desire to participate in our flou rishing commerce, the same disposition to refrain from resenting injuries unintentionally offered, are, with few exceptions, evinced by all nations with whom we have any intercourse. This desirable state of things may be mainly ascribed to our un deviating practice of the rule which has long guided our national policy, to require no exclusive privi• leges in commerce, and to grant none. It is daily producing its beneficial effect in the respect shown to our flag, the protection of our citizens and pro perty abroad, and in the increase of our navigation and the extension of our mercantile operations. The returns which have been made out since we last met, will show an increase during the last pre ceding year of more than 80,000 tons of our ship ping, and of near forty millions of dollars in the aggregate of our imports and exports. " Nor have we less reason to felicitate ourselves on the position of our political, than of our com mercial, concerns. They remain in the state in which they were when I last addressed you—a state of prosperity and peace, the effect of a wise atten tion to the parting advice of the Rev. Father of his country, on this subject, cendensed into a maxim for the use of posterity by one of his most distinguished successors—to cultivate free commerce and honest friendship with all nations, and to make entangling alliances with none. A strict adherence to this policy has kept us aloof from the perplexing ques tions which now agitate the European world, and have more than once deluged those countries with Should those scenes unfortunately recur. the parties to the contest may count on a faithful performance of the duties incumbent on us as a neutral nation, and our own citizens may equally rely on the firm assertion of their neutral rights. " Wi:h the nation that was our earliest friend and ally in the infancy of our political existence, the most friendly relations have subsisted through the late revolutions of its government, and, from the events of the last, promise a permanent duration. It has made an approximation in some of its political institutions to our own, and raised a Monarch to the throne who preserves, it is said, a friendly re collection of the period during which he acquired among our citizens the high consideration tbat could then have been produced by his personal qualifica tions alone. " Our commerce with that nation is gradually assuming a mutually beneficial character, and the adjustment of the claims of our citizens has re moved the only obstacle there was to an inter course not only lucrative, but productive of literary and scientific improvement. " From Great Britain I have the satisfaction to inform you that I continue to receive assurances of the most amicable disposition, which have, on my part, on all proper occasions, been promptly and sincerely reciprocated. The attention of that Go vernment has latterly been so much engrossed by matters of a deeply interesting domestic character, that we could not press upon it the renewal of ne gotiations which had been unfortunately broken off by the unexpected recdl of our Minister, who had commenced them with some hopes of success. My great object was the settlement of questions which, though now dormant, might hereafter be revived under circumstances which would endanger the good understanding which it is the interest of both parties to preserve inviolate, cemented as it is by a corn munity of language, manners, and social habits, and by the high obligations we owe to our British an- (PRICE 7D.) restors for many of our most valuable institutions, And for that system of Representative Government which has enabled us to preserve and improve them. " The question of our North-Eastern boundary, still remains unsettled. In my last annual Message, I exgltined to you the situation in which I found ih a t tusiness on my coming into office, and the measures I thought it my duty to pursue for assert ing the rights of the United States, before the So vereign who had been chosen by my predecessor to , letermine the question ; and also the manner in which he had disposed of it. A special Message to the Senate in their executive capacity, afterwards brought before them the question, whether they would advise a submission to the opinion of the so vereign arbiter.. That body having considered the award as not obligatory, and advised me to open a further negotiation, the proposition was immediately made to the British Government, but the circum stances to which I have alluded, have hitherto pre vented any answer being given to the overture. Early attention, however, has been promised to the subject, and every effort on my part will be made for a satisfactory settlement of this question, interesting to the Union generally, and particularly as to one of its members. " The claims of our citizens on Spain are net yet acknowledged. On a closer investigation of them Than appears to have heretofore taken plaee, it was discovered that some of these demands, however strong they might be upon the equity of that Go vernment, ‘‘ ere not such as could be made the sub ject of national interference. And faithful to the principle of asking but what was clearly right, ad ditional instructions have been sent, to modify our demands so as to embrace those only on which, ac cording to the laws of nations, we have a strict right co insist. As inevitable delay in procuring the do cuments necessary for this review of the merits of these claims, retarded this operation, until an unfor tunate malady which has afflicted his Catholic Ma jesty prevented an examination of them. Being now for the first time presented in an unexceptionable form, it is confidently hoped the application will be successful. " I have the satisfaction to inform you, that the application I directed to be made for the delivery of a part of the archives of Florida, which had been carried to the Havana, has produced a royal order for their delivery, and that measures have been taken to procure its execution." " By the report of the Secretary of State, com municated to you on the 25th of June last, you are informed of the conditional reduction, obtained by the Minister of the United States at Madrid of the duties on tonnage levied on American shipping in the ports of Spain. The condition of that re duction having been complied with on our part, by the Act passed the 13th of July last, I have the satisfaction to inform you that our ships now pay no higher or other duties in the continental ports of Spain than are levied on their national vessels. " The demands against Portugal for illegal cap tures in the blockade of Terceira, have been al lowed to the full amounts of the accounts presented by the claimants, and payment was promised to be made in three instalments. The first of these has been paid—the second, although due, had not, at the date of our last advices, been received; owing, it was alleged, to embarrassments in the finances, consequent on the civil war in which that nation is engaged. "The payments stipulated by the convention with Denmark, have been punctually made, and the amount is ready for distribution among the claimants as soon as the Board now sitting shall have per formed their functions. " I regret that by the last advices from our Charge d'Affaires at Naples, Government had still delayed the satisfaction due to our citizens; but, at this date, the effect of the last instructions was not known. Despatches from thence are hourly ex pected, and the result will be communicated to you without delay. " With the rest of Europe, our relations, political and commercial, remain unchanged. Negotiations are going on to put on a permanent basis the li beral system of commerce now carried on between us and the Empire of Rusda. The treaty con cluded with Austria is executed by his Imperial Majesty with the most perfect good faith; and, as we have no diplomatic agent in this Court, he per sonally inquired into and corrected a proceeding of some of his subaltern officers, to the injury of our Consul in one of his ports. " Our treaty with the Sublime Porte is pro ducing its expected effects on our commerce. New markets are opening for our commodities, and a more extensive range for the employment of our ships. A slight augmentation of the duties on our commerce, inconsistent with the spirit of the treaty, had been imposed ; but on the representation of our Charge d'Affaires, it has been promptly withdrawn; and we now enjoy the trade and navigation of the Black Sea, and all the ports belonging to the Turkish empire and Asia, on the most perfect equality with all foreign nations. " I wish earnestly, that in announcing to you the continuance of friendship and the increase of a pro fitable commercial intercourse with Mexico, with Central America, and the States of the South, I could accompany it with the assurance that they all are blessed with that internal tranquillity and foreign peace which their heroic devotion to the cause of their independence merits. In Mexico, a sanguinary struggle is now carried on, which has caused some embarrassment to our commerce ; but both parties profess the most friendly disposition towards us. To the termination of this contest we look for the establishment of that secure intercourse, so neces sary to nations whose territories are contiguous. How important it will be to us we may calculate from the fact, that even in this unfavourable state of things, our maritime commerce has increased, and an internal trade by caravans, from St. Louis to Santa Fe, under the protection of escorts fur nished by the Government, is carried on to great advantage, and is daily increasing. The agents provided for by the treaty with this Power, to de signate the boundaries which it established, have been named on our part; but one of the evils of the civil war now raging there has been, that the appointment of those with whom they were to co operate has not yet been announced to ue. " The Government of Central America has ex pelled from its territory the party which some time since disturbed its peace. Desirous of fostering a favourable disposition towards us, which has on more than one occasion been evinced by this in teresting country, I made a second attempt in this year to establish a diplomatic intercourse with them; but the death of the distinguished citizen whom I had appointed for that purpose has retarded the ex ecution of measures from which I hoped much acir vantage to our commerce. The union of the three States, which formed the Republic of Colombia, has been dissolved; but they all, it is believed, con sider thetus3lves as separately bound by the Treaty which was made in their federal capacity. The Minister accredited to the Federation continues in that character near the Govcsiiment of New Gra nada; and hopes were entertained that a new Union would be formed between the separate States, at least for the purposes of foreign intercourse. Our Minister has been instructed to use his good offices, whenever they shall be desired, to produce the re union so much to be wished, for the domestic tran quillity of the parties, and the security and facility of foreign commerce. " Some agitations naturally attendant on an in. nt reign freti preiiiitad ;n the steplie of which have had the usual effect upon commercial operations ; and while they suspended the conside ration of claims created on similar occasions, they have given rise to new complaints on the part of our citizens. A proper consideration for calamities and difficulties of this nature has made us less urgent and peremptory in our demands for justice than duty to our fellow-citizens would, under other cir cumstances, have required. But their claims are not neglected, and will, on all proper occasions, be urged, and it is hoped with effect. " I refrain from making any communication on the subject of our affairs with Buenos Ayres, because the negotiation communicated to you in my last an nual message was, at the date of our last advices, still pending, and in a state that would render a publication of the details inexpedient. " A Treaty of Amity and Commerce has been form e d with the Republic of Chili, which, if ap proved by the Senate, will be laid before you. That Government seems to be established, and at peace with its neighbours; and its ports being the resort of our ships which are employed in the highly important trade of the fisheries, this commercial Convention cannot but be of great advantage to our fellow-citizens engaged in that perilous but profit able busineEs. " Our commerce with the neighbouring State of Peru, owing to the onerous duties levied on our prin cipal article of export, has been on the decline, and all endeavours to procure an alteration have hitherto proved fruitless. With Bolivia we have yet no di plomatic intercourse, and the continual contests car ried on between it and Peru have made me defer, until a more favourable period, the appointment of any agent for that purpose. " An act of atrocious piracy having been com mitted on one of our trading ships, by the inha bitants of a settlement on the west coast of Su matra, a frigate ,vas despatched with orders to demand satisfaction for the injury, if those who com mitted it should be found members of a regular Go vernment, capable of maintaining the usual rela. tions with foreign nations ; but if, as it was sup posed, and as they proved to be, they were a band of lawless pirates, to inflict such a chastisement as would deter them and others from like aggressions. This last was done, and the effect has been an in creased respect for our flag in those distant seas, and additional security for our commerce. " In the view I have given of our connection with foreign Powers, allusions have been made to their domestic disturbances or foreign wars, to their revo lutions or dissensions. It may be proper to observe that this is done solely in cases where these events affect our political relations with them, or to show their operations on our commerce. Further than this it is neither our policy nor our right to interfere. Our best wishes on all occasions, our good offices when required will be afforded to promo'e the do mestic tranquillity and foreign peace of all nations with whom we have any intercourse. Any inter vention in their affairs further than this, even by the expression of an official opinion, is contrary to our principles of international policy, and will always be avoided. " The Report, which the Secretary of the Trea sury will in due time lay before you, will exhibit the national finances in a highly prosperous state. Owing to the continued success of our commercial enterprize, which has enabled the merchants to fulfil their engagements with the Government, the re ceipt from the customs during the year will exceed the estimate presented at the last Session; and with the other means of the Treasury, will prove fully d i t ure a deq uate,n o on resulting t appropriationsx e made by Congress, but to provide for the payment of all the public debt which is at present redeem able. It is now estimated that the customs will yield to the Treasury, during the present year, up wards of 28 millions of dollars. The public lands, however, have proved less productive than was an ticipated, and, according lb present information, will not much exceed two millions. The expendi tures for all objects other than the public debt are estimated to amount during the year to about 1G millions and a half, while a still larger sum—viz., eighteen millions of dollars—will have been applied to the principal and interest of the public debt. " It is expected, however, that in consequence of the reduced rates of duty, which will take effect after the 3d of March next, there will be a consi derable falling off in the revenue from customs in the year 1833. It will, nevertheless, be amply suf ficient to provide for all the wants of the public service, estimated even upon a liberal scale, and for the redemption and purchase of the remainder of the public debt. On the Ist of January next, the entire public debt of the United States, funded anti unfunded, will be reduced to within a fraction of seven millions of dollars ; of which 2,227,363 dol lars are not of right redeemable until the Ist of January, 1834, and 4,735,296 dollars not until the 2d of January, 1835. The Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, however, being invested with full authority to purchase the debt at the market-place, and the means of the Treasury being ample, it may be hoped that the whole will be extinguished with in the year 1833. " I cannot too cordially congratulate Congress and my fellow-citizens on the near approach of that memorable and happy event—the extinction of the public debt of this great and free nation. Faithful to the wise and patriotic policy marked out by the legislation of the country for this object, the pre sent Administration has devoted to it all the means which a flourishing commerce has supplied, and a prudent economy preserved for the public treasury. Within the four years for which the people nave confided the executive power to my charge, 58 millions of dollars will have been applied to the payment of the public debt. That tbis has been accomplished, without stinting the expenditures for all other proper objects, will be seen by referring to the liberal provisions made during the same period for the support and increase of our means of mari time and military defence, for internal improvements of a national character, for the removal and preser vation of the Indians, and, lastly, for the gallant veterans of the revolution. " The final removal of this great burden from our resources affords the means of further provision for all the objects of general welfare rand public defence which the constitution authorizes, and presents the occasion for such further reduction in the revenue as may not be required for them. From the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, it will be seen that after the present year such a reduction may be made to a considerable extent; and the subject is earnestly recommended to the consideration of Congress, in the hope that the combined wisdom of the represen tatives of the people will devise such means of ef fecting that salutary object, as may remove those burdens which shall be found to fall unequally upon any, and as may promote all the great interests of the commuuity. " Long and patient reflection has strengthened the opinions I have heretofore expressed to Con gress on this subject; and I deem it my duty on the present occasion again to urge them upon the attention of the Legislature. The soundest maxims of public policy, and the principles upon which Our republican institutions are founded, recommend a proper adaptation of the revenue to the expend'. cure, and they also require that the expenditure shall be limited to what, by an economical admini. stration, shall be consistent with the simplicity of the Government, and necessary to an efficient public service. In effecting this adjustment, it is due, in justice to the interests of the different States, and even to the preservation of the Union itself, that o the protection afforded by e e le x g is is ti i n at g ive laws t protection any branches of the national industry should not excee d what may be necessary to counteract the regula tions of foreign nations, and to secure a supply of those articles of manufacture essential to the na. tional independence and safety in time of war. If, upon investigation, it shall be f oun d , as it is be lieved it will be, that th granted to any particular interest is greater than is indispensably requisite for those. objects, I recom mend that it be gradually dauinished; and that, at Thi s ( - 1 ----- ay was published, complete, in 2 vole.
