By the packet-ship Silas Richards, Captain Bursley, which arrived yesterday afternoon, we have received New York pa pers to the Bth December inclusive, which (the second Session of the 23d Congress having commenced on the 3d,) contain THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. The document, however interesting, greatly exceeds in length the space which we could afford to assign for it, the more espe cially arriving as it did ? so near to the time of our arrangements being completed for this day's publication. We append, how ever, a selection of the passages of leading interest with our readers : "Feilow-eitizens 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 pes tilence which has traversed the Old World has entered our li mits, 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. Not withstanding 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 compa rative condition, existing cause of discontent will appear un worthy of attention, and with hearts of thankfulness to that Divine Being who has filled our cup of prosperity, we shall feel our resolution strengthened to preserve, and hand down to pos terity 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 your last session. The same friendly profession—the same desire to participate in our flourishing commerce—the same disposition to refrain from re senting injuries unintentionally offered, are, with a few excep tions, evinced by all nations with whom we have any inter course. This desirable state of things may be mainly ascribed to our undeviating practice of the rule which has long guided our national policy, to require no exclusive privileges in com merce, and to grant none. It is daily producing its beneficial effect in the respect shown to our flag, the protection of our ci tizens and property abroad, and in the increase of our naviga tion and the extension of our mercantile operations. The re turns which have been made out since we last met, will show-an increase during the last preceding year of more than 80,000 tons in our shipping, and of near forty millions of dollars in the ag gregate of our imports and exports. "Nor have we less reason to felicitate ourselves on the position of our political, than of our commercial, concerns. They re main 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 reverend father of his country, on this subject, condensed 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 po licy has kept us aloof from the perplexing questions that now agitate the European world, and have more than once deluged those countries with blood. Should those scenes unfortunately recur, the parties to the contest may count on a faithful per formance 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. [The message then proceeds to develope the state of the ex isting relations of the United States, with each of the foreign nations with which they hold an established intercourse, and then adverts to the several branches of the internal administra tion-of the government of the United States, commencing with the financial department] " The report which the Secretary of the Treasury will, in due time, lay before you, will exhibit the national finam es in a highly prosperous state. Owing to the continued success of our commercial enterprize, which has enabled the merchants to ful fil their engagements with the government the receipts from customs during the year will exceed the estimate presented at the last session; and, with the other means of the Treasury, will prove fully adequate, not only to meet the increased expen diture resulting from the large appropriations made by Congress, but to provide for the payment of all the public debt which is at present redeemable. It is now estimated that the customs will yield to the Treasury, during the present year, upwards of twenty-eight millions of dollars. The public lands, however, have been less productive than was anticipated, and, according to present information, will not much exceed two millions. The expenditure for all objects other than the public debt, aie i • estimated to amount during the year to ab o ut six t ee n m illi ons s gl and a half, while a still larger sum, viz. eighteen millions of dollars will have been applied to the principal and interest of he public debt. vosi"lt is expected, however, that in consequence of the reduced rates of duty which will take effect after the third of March next, there will be 'a considerable falling off iu the revenue from customs in the year 1833. It will, nevertheless, be amply suffi t,olcient ev t e o n p u r p o o v n ide a for ijbe al ra l l th s e ca w le a , n a ts nd of fo t r h th e e pu r b e l d i e c m se p r t v io ic n e, an es d ti p m u a r: ted chase of the remainder of the public debt. On the fi rst of n January next, the entire public debt of the United State s , 9 1 ' funded and unfunded, will be reduced to within a fraction of seven millions of dollars: of which 2,227,363 dols. are not of right redeemable until the Ist of January, 1834, and 4,735,296 dollars not until the 2nd of January, 183 a. The commissioners of the sinking fund, however, being invested with full authority to purchase the debt at the market price, and the means of the treasury . being ample, it may be hoped that the whole will be extinguished within the year 1833. [This topic naturally leads to that which, affecting as it would seem to do the integrity of the Union, the future relations oi' - of the States with each other, and the dependence of each upon the general Government, has, for some time past, been a subject of anxious curiosity, if not of deep interest with all parties in this country who take any concern in th e a ff a i rs o f our transatlantic brethren. We allude to the " Nullification" Questions,—the dispute of the states of Georgia and Carolina With the Government of the United States, and we much doubt whether the manner in which it is noticed by the President will be found sufficiently explicit to afford to our English readers any very clear view or distinct perceptions of the turn which that matter is likely to take.] " The soundest mailing of public policy, and the principles Upon which our republican institutions are founded, recommend a proper adaptation of the revenue to the expenditure, and they also require that the expenditure shall be limited to what, by an economical administration, shall be consistent with the sim plicity 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 the protection afforded by existing laws to any branches of the national industry should not exceed what inay be necessary to counteract the regulations of foreign na tions, and to secure a supply of those articles of manufacture, essential to the national independence and safety in time of War. If, upon investigation, it shall be found, as it is believed it will be, that the legislative protection granted to any parti cular interest is greater than is indispensably requisite for those objects, l'recommend that it be gradually diminished, and that, as far as may be consistent with these objects, the whole scheme Of duties be reduced to the revenue standard, as soon as a just regard to the faith of the Government, and to the preservation of the large capital invested in establishments of domestic in liustry, will permit. "That manufactures adequate to the supply of our domestic consumption, would, in the abstract, be beneficial to our coun try, there is no reason to doubt; and to effect their establish rtient, there is, perhaps, no American citizen who would not, for a while, be willing to pay a higher price for one. But for this purpose, it is presumed that a tariff of high duties, designed for perpetual protection, has entered into the minds of but few of our statesmen. The most they have anticipated is a tern- Perary and generally incidental protection, which they main tain has the effect to reduce the price by domestic competition below that of the foreign article. Experience, however, our best guide on this, as on other subjects, makes it doubtful by the advantage s o f thi s s y s t em are not counterbalanced 0 3 , many evils, and whether it does not tend to beget in the blinds of a large portion of our countrymen a spirit of discon tent and jealousy dangerous to the stability of the union. " What then shall be done ? Large interests have grown up Under the implied pledge of our national legislation, which it , Would seem a violation of public faith suddenly to abandon. Nothing could justify it but the public safety, which is the supreme law. , ' But those who ha v e ves t e d th e i r cap i ta l i n manufactur i ng establishments cannot ex p ec t th a t th e peop l e w i ll continue 4 0 Permanently to pay hightaxes for their be ne f i t w h en t h e money , 1 . 18 not required for any legitimate purpose in the administration ~, 1 31 ' the Government. I s i t no t enoug h th a t th e hi g h d ut i es have ueen paid as long as the money arising from them could be applied to the common benefit in the extinguishment of the Public debt? " Those who take an enlarg'd view of the condition of our -: !?untry must be satisfied that the policy of protection must be ultimately l im it e d t o those articles of domestic manufacture this are indispensibl e t o our sa t lty i n t i me of war. Wi th i n s scope, on a reasonable scal e , 'it is recommend e d by e v ery !unsideration of patriotism and duty which will doubtless always I *ecure to it a liberal and e ffi cient support. But beyond this I . i -n; object, we have already seen the operation of the system productive of discontent. In some sections of the republic its influence is deprecated as tending to consecrate wealth into a few hands, and as creating those gemis of dependence and vice which in other countries have characterised the existence of monopolies, and proved so destructive of liberty and the gene ral good. A large portion of the people in one section of the republic declares it not only inexpedient on these grounds, but as disturbing the equal relations of property by legislation, and pose therefore unconstitutional and unjust. " Doubtless these effects are, in a great degree, exaggerated, and may be ascribed to a mistaken view of the considerations which led to the adoption of the Tariff System; but they are, nevertheless, important in enabling us to review the subject with a more thorough knowledge of all its bearings upon the great interests of the republic, and with a determination to dis of it so that none can with justice complain. " It is my painful duty to state, that in one quarter of the United States, opposition to the revenue laws has risen to a height which threatens to thwart their execution, if not to endanger the integrity of the Union. Whatever obstructions may be thrown in the way of Judicial Authorities of the Gene ral Government, it is hoped they will be able peaceably to overcome them, by the prudence of their own ofhcers and the patriotism of the people. But should this reasonable reliance on the moderation and good sense of all portions of our fellow citizens be disappointed, it is believed that the laws themselves are fully adequate to the suppression of such attempts as may be immediately made. Should the exigency arise, rendering the execution of the existing laws impracticable from any cause whatever, prompt notice of it will be given to Congress, with the suggestion of such views and measures as may be deemed necessary to meet it." [The message then treats, in succession, of the stocks held by' the general government in corporations, (joint stock com pany shares, we presume,) the public lands, the application of in ternal im provement funds of the general government to objects of im provement which are not national in their character, the hosti lities with certain tribes of Indians, the transfer of ()Viers from the eastern to the western side of the Mississippi, the militia system, the naval force, the post-office department, elections of the President and Vice-President, and the judiciary system of the United States, concluding with the following general ob., servations.] "On many of the subjects to which your attention is invited in this communication, it is a source of gratification to reflect that the steps to be now adopted are uninfluenced by the embar rassments entailed upon the country by the wars th'rough which it has passed. In regard to most of our great interests, we may consider ourselves as just starting in our career, and, after a sa lutary experience, about to fix upon a permanent basis the po licy best calculated to promote the happiness of the people, and facilitate their progress towards the most complete enjoyment of civil liberty. On an occasion so interesting and important in our history, and of such anxious concern to the friends of freedom throughout the world, it is our imperious duty to lay aside all selfish and local considerations, and be guided by a lofty spirit of devotion to the great principles on which our in stitutions are founded. _ _ " That this government may , be so administered as to preserve its efficiency in promoting and securing these general objects should be the only aim of our ambition, and we cannot, there fore, too carefully examine its structure, in order that we may not mistake its powers, or assume those which the people have reserved to themselves, or have preferred to assign to other agents. We should bear constantly in mind the tact that the considerations which induced the framersof the constitution to withhold from the -business the power to regulate the great mass of the - business and concerns of the people, have been fully justified by experience; and that it cannot now be doubted that the genius of all our institutions prescribes simpli city and economy,as the characteristics of reform, which is yet to be effected in the present and future execution of the func tions bestowed upon us by the constitution. . . . "Limited to a genera superintending power to maintain peace at home and abroad, and to prescribe laws on a few sub jects of general interest, not calculated to restrict human liberty, but to enforce human rights, this government will find its strength and its glory in the faithful discharge of these plain and simple duties.—Relieved by its protecting shield from the fear of war, and the apprehension of oppression, the free enter prize of our citizens, aided by the state sovereignties, will work out improvements and ameliorations which cannot fail to de monstrate that the ~ .reat truth, that the people can govern themselves, is not only realised in our example, but that it is done by a machinery in government so simple and economical as scarcely to be felt, That the Almighty Ruler of the universe may so direct our deliberations, and overrule our acts as to make us instrumental in securing a result so dear to mankind, is my most earnest and sincere prayer." "ANDREW JACKSON." December 4th, 1832. • THE NULLIFICATION. We transcribe, from a Baltimore newspaper, the Or dinance, said to be passed by the Convention of South Carolina, for the purpose of nullifying various acts of the Congress of the United States. It is scarcely necessary to remark, that the position of the Government of the States, at this moment, is peculiarly interesting. The dawn of a new era seems to have burst Upon the people of one portion at least of the union. 'What the coming events of futurity will disclose, we are not prepared to as sert; but, whilst we feel conscious that we have matter more than sufficient at home to excite our .anxiety and to rouse our feelings and our best energies to action, we cannot avoid casting a lingering ey&to the' .progress of events in South Carolina. So -far .as ' . vve are able to judge. there is much to hope for, yet, At the same time, danger to fear, from what may yet be expected to take place. God send them a happy issue ! • "AN ORDINANCE, "To provide for arresting the Operation of Certain Acts of the Congress of the United States, purporting to be Laws laying Duties and Imposts on the Importation of Foreign Commo dities. " Whereas, the Congress of the United States, by various acts, purporting to be acts laying duties and imposts on foreign imports, but in reality intended for the protection of domestic manufactures, and the giving of bounties to classes and indivi duals engaged in particular employment, at the expense and to the injury and oppression of other individuals, and by wholly exempting from taxation certain foreign commodities, such as are not produced or manufactured in the United States, to af ford a pretext for imposing higher and excessive duties on ar ticles similar to those intended to be protected ; hath exceeded its just powers under the constitution, which confers on it no authority to afford such protection', and hath violated the true meaning . and intent of the constitution, which provides for equality in imposing the burdens of taxation upon the several States and portions of the Confederacy; and, whereas, the said Congress, exceeding its just power to impose taxes and collect revenue for the purpose of effecting and accomplishing the spe cific objects and purposes which the Constitution of the United States authorizes it to effect and accomplish hath raised and col lected unnecessary revenue, for objects unauthorized by the Constitution, " We, therefore, the people of the state of South Carolina, in convention assembled, do declare and ordain, and it is hereby declared and ordained, that the several acts and parts of acts of the congress of the United States, purporting to be laws for the imposing of duties and imposts on the importation of foreign commodities, and now having actual operation and effect within the United States, and inure especially an act en titled, "An act in alteration of the several acts imposing duties on imports," approved on the nineteenth day of May, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-eight, and also an act entitled, "an act to alter and amend the several acts imposing duties on imports," approved on the 14th day of July; one thou sand eight hundred and thirty-two, are unauthorised by the constitution of the United States, and violate . the true meaning and intent thereof, and are null, void, and no law, nor binding upon this state, its officers or citizens ; and all promises, con tracts and obligations, made or entered into, or to be made or entered into, with purpose to secure the duties imposed by said acts, and all judicial proceedings which shall hereafter be had in affirmance thereof, are and shall be held utterly null and void. " And it is further ordained, that it shall not be lawful for any of the constituted authorities, whether of this state or of the United States, to enforce the payment of duties imposed by the said acts within the limits o f tins state, but that it shall be the duty of the legislature to adopt such measures, and pass such acts, as may be necessary to give full effect to this ordi nance, and to prevent the enforcement and arrest the operation of the said acts and parts of acts of the congress of the United States, within the limits of this state, from and a ft er th e fi rs t day of February next, and the duty of all other constituted au thorities, and of all persons residing or being within the limits of this state, and they are hereby required and enjoined to obey and give effect to this ordinance, and such acts and measures of the legislature as may be passed or adopted in obedience thereto " And ft is further ordained, that in no case of law or equity, decided in the courts of this state, wherein shall be drawn in question the authority of this ordinan ce , or th e va lidi ty of such act or acts of the legislature as may be passcd for the purpose of giving effect thereto, or the validity o f th e a f oresa i d acts of congress, imposing duties, shall any appeal be taken or allowed to the Supreme Court of the United States, nor shall any copy of the record be permitted or allowed for that p ur p ose , and if any such appeal shall be attempted to be taken, the courts of this state shall proceed to execute and enforce their judgments, according to the laws and usages of this state, without reference to such attempted appeals, and the persons attempting to take such appeal may be dealt with as for a contempt of the court. "And it is further ordained, That all persons now holding any office of honour, profit or trust, civil or military, under this State, shall within such time, and in such manner as the Legis lature shall prescribe, take an oath, well and truly to obey, exe cute, and enforce this ordinance, and such act - or acts of the Legislature; as may be passed in pursuance thereof, according to the true intent and meaning of the same, and on the neglect or omission of such person or persons so to do, his or their of fice or offices, shall be forthwith vacated, and shall be filled up, as if such person or persons were dead, or had resigned, and no person hereafter elected to any office of .honour, profit or trust, civil or military, shall, until the Legislature shall otherwise provide and direct, enter on the execution of his office or be in any respect competent to discharge the duties thereof, until he shill, in like manner, have taken a similar oath; and no juror shall be impannelled in any of the Courts,of this State, in any cause in which shall be in question this ordinance, or any act of the Legislature, passed in pursuance thereof, unless he shall first, in addition to the usual oath, have taken an oath, that he will well and truly obey, execute, and enforce this ordinance, and such act or acts of the Legislature, as may be passed to carry the same into operation and effect, according to the true intent and meaning thereof. "And we, the people of South Carolina, to the end, that i may be fully understood by the government of the United States, and the people of the co-States, that we are determined to maintain at every hazard, do further declare, that we will not submit to the application of force, on the part of the Federal Government, to reduce this State to obedience; but that we will consider the passage, by Congress, of any act, authorising the employment of a military or naval force against the State of South Carolina, her constituted authorities or citizens; or any act, abolishing or closing the ports of this State, or any of them, or otherwise obstructing the free ingress and egress of vessels, to and from the said ports; or any other act on the part of the federal Government to coerce the state, shut up her ports, destroy or harass her commerce, or to enforce the acts hereby declared to be null and void, otherwise than through the civil tribunals of the country, as inconsistent with the longer continuance of South Carolina in the union; and that the people of this state will thenceforth hold themselves absolved from all further obligation to maintain or preserve their politi cal connexion with the people of the other states, and will forth with proceed to organise .a separate Government, and do all other acts and things which sovereign and independent states may of right do." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MONDAY, DECEMBER 24TH. Richard Frinstanley was committed for trial, charged with robbing William Glover, of a pocket handkerchief, a snuff-?ox, a penknife, and thirteen shillings in silver. The prosecutor lives at Hale Wood brewery, and last Saturday night, being in Liverpool, he went to spend his evening at a house in Bostock-street, where he fell asleep, and on awaking, between three and four o'clock on Sunday morning, he missed the articles above enumerated. He immediately mentioned his loss to the persons present, and called in the watch, when a sailor who was in company, pointed out the prisoner as the person whom he had seen putting his hands in the prosecutor's pockets while he was sleeping, and taking something out. The snuff-box and penknife were found on the chimney-piece. SuoP-LIFTING.—Sarah Wilson and Ann Smith were committed for trial, for stealing two shawls, the property of Mr. Beckwith, draper. The•prisoners went into the prosecutor's shop in Paradise-street, on Saturday afternoon, and asked to look at some shawls. One of the shopmen showed them some with which they appeared not to be pleased, and, while he was reaching another parcel to show them, he observed Ann Smth walk out of the shop with a shawl under her arm. He immediately informed Mr. Beckwith of the circumstance, but before they could get into the street, she was out of sight. A consta ble was then sent for to take her companion Sarah 'Wilson into cus tody, and on examining the basket of the latter, another of Mr. Beckwith's shawls was found therein. Smith was apprehended on Sunday, but no trace of the shawl she had carried off was discovered, and she strongly denied having been at the shop at all. WEDNESDAY, 26. ROBBERY IN BRIDEIVELL.—Thoinas Taylor was committed for trial for robbing Stephen Charrick, a fellow-prisoner, in Bridewell, of six shillings.—The prosecutor was taken to Bridewell on Tuesday night, for being drunk in the street. Before he was locked up his pockets were emptied of their contents, as is customary, but he had concealed thirteen shilling in the foot of one of his stockings, which remained undiscovered. c 'He was then put into a cell with several other " disor derlies," and was sitting 'on the bench when Taylor and some of the othero seized hold of him, and threw him down, and thrust their fingers into his mouth to prevent his calling out. Taylor then took off his shoes, and in doing so,. felt the money in his stocking, and immediately cut off the foot of the stocking, and taking out the money lie and his companions shared it amongst them. In the morn ing some of them proposed to return the money to the prosecutor, but the prisoner refused to give back his shoes. Seven shillings were restored by the others, and one shilling was found in the prisoner's hoot on searching hiin. The prosecutor could not identify any of the party who attacked him, except Taylor.
