Richard Evans's
Fellow-Citizens of the Senate, and
of the House of Rrprefenfatives,
It is a circutnftance of finecre gratification to
me that on meeting the great council of the na
tion, I am able to announce to them on grounds
of reasonable certainty, that the wars and trou
bles, which have for so many years afflicted
our fitter nations, have at length come to an
end ; and thafthe communications of peace &
commerce arc once more opening among them.
Whilst we devoutly return thanks to the benefi
cent being who has been pleafcd to breathe into
them the spirit of conciliation and forgivenefs,
we are bound, with peculiar gratitude; to be
thankful to him that our own peace has been pre
'Served through so perilwhs a feaibn, and our
selves permitted quietly to^ultivate the earth &
to pra&ife and improve thofc arts which tend
to increase our comforts, The assurance, indeed
of friendly dilpbfition received from all tlie pow
ers with whom we have principal relations, had
ipfpired a confidence that our peace with them
would not have been disturbed. , But a certation
of the irregularities which had afflicted the com
merce of neutral nations, and ol the Irritatiohs
and injuries produced by them, cannot bht add
to this confidence ; and llrengthens at the fame
time the hope that wrongs committed on un
offending friends, under a pressure of preum
fiances, will now be reviewed with candor, and
will he considered as founding jhft clasps of ret
ribution lot the part, and new aflurance for the
future..
Among pur Indian neighbours a spirit of peace
& friendfliip generally prevails ; and I am happy
to inform you that the efforts to introduce
among them the implements and the pra&ice of
hufbindry, and of the household arts, have not
been without fdecefs: That they are become
more and morf fenfihle of the foperiofity of this
dependence for clothing and subsistence, over
the precarious resources of hunting and filling :
And we already are able to announce that, in
flead of that conflant diminution of numbers
produced by their wars and their wants, some
‘ of them begin to experience ah increase of popu
lation.
To this date of general peacp with which we
have been blessed, doe only exception egifc —•
'fripoli, the kail confideriirte of the Barbary
States, had come forward with demands un
founded either in right or in^ompaa, and had
permitted itfelf to denounce war, on our failure
to comply before a gen day. The Oyleof the
demand admitted hut one %pfwer. I lent a
final! squadron of frigate into the Mediterra
nean, with assurances tc that power of dur sin
cere deftre to remain in peace; but with or
ders to protest our commerce against the
threatened attack. The meafnre w^ fafpngbic,
and salutary. The Bey had already declared
war in form. Hi, cruif rs were but. Two had
arrived #t Gibraltar. Our commerce in the
Mediterranean %s,lilp&dedl and that of the
Atlantic in peril. The arrival of our Squadron
dispelled the danger. One of the Tripolitan
cruisers having fallen in with and engaged the
(mail fchooncr Enterprise,commanded by Lieut,
Sterret, which had gone out as a tendet to our
larger vtffels,was captured after a heavy Daugh
ter of iter men, without the loss of a single one
bn our part. The bravery exhibited by out
citizens on that element will, 1 trust, be a i
mony to the world, that it is not a want of tha|,
virtue which makes us seek their peace; but a
codcientious desire to &g£|ftai#fa|tf W 0
nation to the multiplication of the hrinhah rate,
and not to its dcAru&ion. Unauthorized by
the constitution, without the fanAion of Con
gress, to go beyond the line of defence, the ves
sel being disabled from committing further hof
-tilities, was liberated with its crew. Th# le

THE circumflances under which
we find ourselves at this place,
rendering inconvenient the mode here

branches, I have adopted that by mes
sage, as used on all fnbfequent occa
sions through the session. In doing
this, I have had principal regard to
the convenience of the legislature, to
the economy of their time, to their re
lief from tlie embarrassment of immedi
ate answers, on fubjeds not .'fully
before them, and to the benefits thence
resulting to the public affairs. Trad
ing that a procedure, founded in these
motives will meet their approbation, I
beg leave, through you, Sir, to com

the documents accompanying it to the

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THIRTEENTH YEAR.
Advertiser,
ather circUmftances, eonibmed with foe im
creafe of numbers, have produced an augmenta
tion of revenue arising from consumption, in a
ratio far beyond that of population alone ; and
though the changes in foreign relations, now
taking place so dcfirably for the whole world,
may for a season, affed this branch of revenue,
yet, weighing all probabilities of expence, as
well as of income, there is reasonable ground of
confidence that we may flow fafely dispense
with all the internal taxes, comprehending ex
cises, ftanips,auctions, licences,Carriages and re
fined sugars ; to which the portage on news
papers may be added to facilitate the progress
of information : and that the remaining sources
of revenue will be fufficient to provide for the
support of government, to pay ,the interest of.
the public debts,and to difeharge the principals
in shorter periods than the laws, or the gene
ral expectation had contemplated. War, indeed
and Untoward events may change this profydt
of things, and call for ertpehfes which the im
ports could not meet. But found principles will
not juftify oar taxing the industry of our fel
low citizens to accumulate treasure for wars to
happen we know not when, and which might
not, perhaps, happeti, but from the temptations
offered by that treasure.
These views, however, of reducing our bur
thens, are formed oa the expeaatiori; that a fen
liblc, at the fame time, a salutary reduction ma,
take place in our habitual expenditures . For
this pfirpofe, those of the civil government, the
army, and navy will need revival. When wu
tbofider that this government is charged with
the external and mutual relations only es these
dates that the Bates themfelOes have principle
tare of out persons, out property, .and our repu
tation ; eonftiroting t,he great field of human
concerns, we may well doubt whether our or
ganization is one too complicated, too expen
sive ; whether offices and officers have not been
multiplied unnecclfarily, and fomeximes injuri,
oufly to the service they were meant to pro
mote.* I will cause to be laid before you an es
say towards a statement, of those who, under
public employnfent of various kiuds,draw mo
ney from the treasury, or from our citizens'.
Tune has not permitted a perfect enumeration,
the ramifications of office being too multiplied
and remote to be completely traced in a firft
trial* Among those who are dependant on
executive diferetion, 1 have begun the reduc,
tion of what was deemed ,qnnec4t„. The
e,pences of diplomatic agency have been con
fidefably diminiffied. The infpeaor, of inter
rial revenue, who were fouadtb ohftru& the
' accoumWity of the institution, hava been di£,
concifled.—Several igepcies, geared by Ette#,

giftiture will doubtless consider whether,by aue
thorizing measures of offence allo, they ' wil
place our force on an equal footing with chat
of its adversaries. I communicate all material
information on this fubjed, that in the exercise
of the important function, confided b, the cou-
Qicution to the legislature, exclufrely, their
judgment may form irfelf on a knowledge and
consideration of every circumstance of weight,
I with I could fay that our filiation with all
the other Barbary Rates was entire!, fatirfado
ry. Difeovering that forrie delafl had taken
place in the performance of certain articles fttp
ulaud by us, I thought it my duty, by imme
diate measures for fulfilling them, to vindicate
to ourselves the right of coufidering the effba
of departure from Ripularion On their fide.
From the papers which will be laid before you,
you will be enabled to judge whether our trea
ties are regarded by tnem as fixing at all the
meafurc of their demands,or as guarding against
the exercise of force, our vcffclg within their
power ; and to confider how far it will be fafe
and expedient to leave our affairs with them in
their present posture.
1 lay before you she result ofttetenfus lately
taken of our inhabitants, to a conformity with
which we are to reduce the eufuing rates of
representation and taxation. You will perceive
that the ericreafe of numbers during the last io
years proceeding in geometrical ratio promife#
a duplication in little more than 32 years . We
contemplate this rapid growth, arid the profpea
it holds up to us, not with a view to the injuries
it may enable us to do to others in some future
day, but to the settlement of the eitenfive coun
try still remaining vaeant within our limits, to
the multiplication of men susceptible of happi
ness, educated in the love of order, habituated
to fclf go&erriment, and valuing its bfeffings a
bove all price.
