The PRESIDENT'S Answer..
SIU, WASHINGTON, MAY z 6.
I return my grateful thanks to the General
Assembly of the State of rihode-ldand and
Providence Plantation's, for the congratulations
which, on behalf of themselves and their consti
tuents, they have been pleased co express on
my election to the Chief Magistracy of the U
nited States; and I learn with pleasure their
approbation of the principles declared by me
on that occasion—principles which flowed fin
cercly from the heart and judgment, and which
with sincerity will be pursued. While acting
on them, I ask only to be judged with truth and
candour.
Prudent of the United States.
sift,
THE General AiTembTy of the State of Rhode-
Island and Providence Plantations, in behalf of
themfclves and of their constituents, embrace
the earliest opportunity to present you their
sincere and refpedful congratulations on yqtir
election to the office of Chief Magistrate of the
United States ; and to express their entire ap
probation of the principles which, in your ad
dress to a portion of our fellow citizens, on the
fourth of March last, you declared Would be the ba
fit of your adminffratitn.
Trailing to the wisdom and goodness of the
Supreme Ruler of the Universe to afford yod
every necessary assistance, in the difeharge of
the dutidbof so arduous and important a station,
we have the strongest hope and the fulleft con
fidence, that, in carrying th'tfe principles into fi
fed,you will preserve the peace and promote the
pfofperity and happiness of your fellow citizens.
It 6 with the utmost fatisfadion we observe,
that the Constitution of the United States is u
niversally cohfidered as the fafeguard of our
liberty and independence, the strongest bul
wark against foreign invasion, and a fute pro
tection against internal commotions. Una
nimity of opinion, in all important questions,
is devoutly to bd wiffied ; and we fin'cefdy
hope, that notwithstanding a difference in sen
timent may prevail, , a Spirit of candour, mode
ration, charity and forbearance towards one a
nother, will preserve a general harmony.
The people of this State being circumscribed
within narrow limits, and some of their princi
pal towns relying chiefly on commerce for their
support, and having in the bosom of the State
one of the best harbors in.the world, they fed
a particular interest in toe profoerity of com
merce. They are therefore happy in the as
surance. and have do dodbt, that under your
administration, commerce will be protected,
and, as the handmaid of agriculture, receive
every suitable encouragement.
A republican form of government is consider
ed by the citizens of the State of Rhode-ISland
as their birch-right, and the government of the
United Stated, being the union of independent
Republics for . the good of the whole, will ever
receive their firm support.
..Accept,Sir, our best wishes for your individu
al health and happiness, and the expression of
our sincere desire, that your fellow citizens may

done, thou good and faithful servant."

Col. Dunham was appointed to the office of

" BEFORE my arrival in this country In 1795,
some American & English country Ships, because
they had 110 cargo on board, but Specie, were
detained between two & three weeks in Macao
Road, before they could obtain a Chop from the
Sloppo, for a pilot to take them ,p to Whampoa.
This circumfince was fogenerally known among
the Americans at that ^ime, th?t it was supposed
every person trading to China in future would
guard against a Similar detention, by fending out
at least part of a cargo in their Ships. But by
two recent instances, and the only ones that
have happened since my residence here, I find
there are some who arc still unacquainted with
the law in that particular.
"1 think it proper therefore to Rate to you,
tor the information of all Americans trading to
this country, that the Chiqefe laws (if ftri&ly
confined to the letter) prohibit the entry of any
Vessel that has no cargo on board. Dollars are
not considered as cargo, fro that vessels coming
with money only, are not allowed^ pilot to take
them up the river, until fperial information can
firft be obtained from the Grand Sloppo at
Canton. This generally causes a delay of one
or two weeks, and from the various other avo
cations of the Sloppo, Sometimes much longer.
During this time the Ships are obliged to lie in
an o/en re%d, which at the season when the A
nicrican Ship^ generally arrive, between the
latter part of August and the firft of November,
is fub)e%tQ frequent and very heavy gales pf
wind or Tfforns, that often occasion the loss of
cables and anchors, mails, fpafs, &c. if no fur
ther injury.
“ To provide therefore against being detain
ed at Macao^ and Suffering the probable 1'66 or
damage consequent thereon, it will he necerfary
to fend out some cargo. A fm,all assortment of
articles may answer the purpose, for in the re
port which is made to the Mandarin at Macao,
it is not necessary to fpe'eify the paftrcular quan
tity or amount of an), lit merely to Slate a lift
of them. Large cargoes, however would be
better, as the Ship in that case would be certain
of meeting with no detention whatever.
