TUESDAY DECEMBER 3.
A mefiage was received from the Senate, infor
ming the House, that the Senate were waiting to re
ceive them in the Senate Chamber, in order to meet
the President of the United States—whereupon the
Members repaired to the Senate Chamber.
At 12 e’eiock, The President arrived,accompa
nied by the. Secretary of State, the Secretary of the
Treasury, the Secretary at "War, the Attorney-Gene
ral, and other officers of Government, and in the
preieftccof a numerous affiembly of citizensand for
eigners, delivered to bothHoufes the following
address.
Fellow Citizens of the Senate, afid
Os the House of Representatives,
SINCE the commencement of the term, for which
I have been again called into office, no fit cccafion
has arilen for expressing to my fellow, citizens at
large, the deep and refpeftful sense, which I fed, of
the renewed testimony of public approbation. While
on the one hand, it awakened my gratitude for all
thofe’inftances ofaffeftionate partiality, with which
I have been honoured by my country ; on the other,
it could not prevent an earnest wi(h for that retire
ment, from which no private consideration should
ever have torn' me. But, influenced by the belief,
that my condeft would be estimated according to its
real motives ; and that the people, and the authori
ties derived from them would support exertions,
having nothing personal for their objeft, I have obey
ed the fuffiage which commanded me to resume the
Executive Power; and I humbly implore that Be/
Ing, on whose will the fate of nations depends, to
crovrn with success our mutual endcavours for the
general happfntfs.
As sot n as the war in Europe had embraced those
powers with whom the United States have the most
extensive relations ; there vvas reajon to apprehend
that our intercomfe with them might be interrupted,
ifftd our disposition for peace, drawn into question,
To be
by the suspicions, too often entertained by belligrg
rent nations.—lt feeined therefore to be my duty, to
admonilh our Citizens of the confcquences of a con
traband trade, and of hostile afts to any of the par
ties; and to obtain, by a declaration of the existing
legal Bate of things, an easier admission of our light#
to the immunities, belonging to our situation—Under
these impressions, the proclamation, which will be
laid before you, was iflhed.
In this posture of affairs, both new and delicate, I
rcfolved to adopt general rules, which should con
form to the treaties, and afiert the privileges of the
United States. These were reduced into a system,
which will be communicated to you. Although I
have not thought myfclf at libeVty to forbid the sale
of the prizes, permitted by our treaty of Commerce
with France to be brought into our ports ; • I have
not refufed to cause them to be restored, when they
were taken within the protection of our territory ;
or by vcffels commissioned or equipped in a warlike
form within the limits of the United States.
It rests with the wisdom of Congrefc to ccrreCt,
improve or enforce this plan Deprocedure, and it
will probably be found expedient to extend the le
gal code, and the JurifdiCtion of the Courts of the
United States, to many cases which, though depend
ent on principles already recognized, demand some
further provisions.
When individuals {ball, within the United States,
array themselves in hostility against any of the pow
ers at war; or enter upon military expeditions, or
enterprizes within the jurifdi&ion of the United
States; orufurp and exercise judicial authority with
in the United States ; cr where the penalties on vio
lations of the law of nations may have been indif
tinflly marked, or are inadequate ; these offences
cannot receive too early and ciofe an attention, and
require prompt and decisive remedies.
Whatsoever those remedies may be, they will be
well ad mini flered by the Judiciary, who po/refs a
long established course of invefligation, effetttial pro.
cefs, and officers in the habit oi executing it. In
like manner, as several of the courts have doubted,
under particular circumflances, their powers to lib
erate the vessels of a nation at peace, and even of a •
citizan of the United States, although seized under a
falfe colour of being hostile property ; and have de
nied their power to liberate certain captures within
the proteftion of our territory ; it would seem pro
per to regulate their jurifdiftion in these points -
But if the Executive is to be the resort in either of
the two last mentioned cases, it is hoped, that he
will be authoiizcd by law, to have fads, afeertained
by the courts, when, for his own information, he
ffiall request it.
I cannot recommend to your no
tice measures for the fujfilm ent of
our duties to the rest of the world,
without again prdurg upon you the
necenity of placing ourielves in a
condition of complete defence, and
of exadling from them the fulfilment
of their duties towards us. The U
nited States ought not to indulge 2
persuasion, that, contrary to the" or
der of human events,they will forever
keep at a distance those painful ap
peals to arms v.ith which the hiftory
of every other nation abounds-
There is a rank due to the United
Stales among nations ; which will bd
withheld, if not absolutely loft, by
the reputation of weakness. If we
desire to avoid infuk we must be a
ble to repel it; if we desire to secure
peace, one cf the most powerful in
ftrumenrs of our fifing prosperity.
it must be known, that weare at all
times ready for war.
The documents which will be prefehted to you,
■will ffiew the amount, and kinds of arms and mil
itary ftorcs now in our magazines and arsenals ! and.
yet an addition even to these supplies cannot with
prudence beneglefted,as it would leave nothing to the
uncertainty of procuring a warlike apparatus in the
moment of public danger.—Nor can such arrange
ments with such objeCls, beeXpofed to the censure
or jealousy of the warmest friends of republican gov
ernment. They are incapable of abuse in the hand#
of the militia who ought to poflefs a pride in being
the depofitnry of the force of the Republic, and may
be trained to a degree of energy, equal to every mil
itary exigency of the United States. Btit it is an en
quiry, which cannot be too solemnly pursued, whe- ■
ther the aft, “ more effeftually to provide for the na
tional defenccby eftabliffiingan uniform militiathro’.
out the United States,” has organized them so as to
produce their full effeft : whether your own experi
ence in the several states has not detested fopiejm
perfeftions in the Icheme ; and whether a material
feature in an improvement of it, ought not to be to
afford an opportunity for the study of those branch
es of the military art, which can fcarccly ever be at
tained by praftice alone ?
The conneftion of the United States with Europe,
has become extremely iriterefting— The occurrei c »
which relate to i’j and have palled Under the know
ledge of the executive, will be exhibited toCongrela
in a subsequent communication.
When we contemplate the war on our frohtitr.* it
