*By tbacammunication received through our mi

being such that they ceased, at that date, to vio

by law) was announced by a proclumulionlhtaring

Among the event* growing out of toe state of
the Spanish monarchy Our attention was imperious
ly attracted to the change developing itself in that
portion of West Florida, which though of right ap
pertaining to the U. States, had remained in the pos
session of Spain, awaiting the result of negotiations
•for its actual delivery to them. The Spanish autho
rity was subverted ; and a situation produced expo
sing the country t» ulterior events, which might
essentially affect the rights and welfare of the uni
on. In such a conjuncture, I did not delay the in
terposition required for the occupancy of the terri
tory west of the river Perdido, to which the title
of the United States extends, and to which the
laws provided for the territory of Orleans are appli
cable. With this view, the proclamation, a copy
of which is laid before you, was ronfideJ to the go
vernor of that territory to be earned into effect.—
The legality and necessity of the course pursu
ed, assure me of the favourable light in which it
will present itself to the legislature, and of the
promptitude with which they will supply whatever
provision^may be due to the essential rights aod e
quitabie interests of the people thus brought into
the bosom of the American family.
Our aunty with the powers of Barbary, with
the exception of a recent occurrence at Tunis, of
which sn explanation is just received, appears to
have been uninterrupted and to have become more
firmly established.
With the Indian tribes also the peace and friend
| ship of the United States are found to be so eligible,
that the general disposition to preserve both conti
nues to gain strength.
1 feel particular satisfaction in remarking that an
interior view of our country presents us with grate
ful proofs of its substantial and increasing prosperi
ty. To a thriving agriculture and the improve
ments related to it, is added a highly interesting
extension of useful manufactures; the combined
product of professional occupations, and of house
hold industry. Such indeed is the experience of a
ronomy, as well as policy, in these substitutes for
.supplies heretofore obtained by foreign commerce,
that in a national view the change is justly regatded
as of itself more than a rerompence tor those priva
tions and losses resulting Iroin foreign injustice,
which lurnisbtd the genera) impulse required lor its
accromplishrnent. How far it may be expedient to
guard the infancy of tbis improvement in the dis
tribution of labour, by regulations of the commer
cial tariff, is a subject which cannot fail to suggest
itself lo your patriotic reflections.
It will rest with tbe consideration of congress also
whether a provident as well as fair encouragement
would not be given to our navigation by such regu
lations as will place it on a level of competition with
foreign vessels, particulaily in transporting the im
portant and bulky productions of our own soil.—
The failure of equality and reciprocity in the exist
tng regulations on this subject operates, in our
ports, as a premium to foreign competitors; and
the inconvenience must rucrease, as these may be
multiplied, under more favourable circumstances,
by the more than countervailing encouragements
now given them, by the laws of their respective
countries. 4
Whilst it is universally admitted that a well in
structed people alone can be permanently a free peo
ple ; and whilst it is evident that the means of dif
fusing and improving useful knowledge form so
small a proportion of the expenditures for national
purposes, 1 cannot preaume it lobe unseasonable,
to invite, your attention to the advantages of su
prradding, to the means of education provided by
the several stales, a seminary of learning, instituted
by the national legislature, within the limits of their
exclusive jurisdiction; the expence of which might
be delrayed.or reimbursed,out of the vacant grounds
which have accrued to the nation within tboie
limits.
s Such an institution, though local in it* legal cha
racter, would he universal in its beneficial effects.—
By enlightening the opinions ; by expanding the
patriotism ; and by assmiulating the principles, the
sentiments and the inann. rs of those who might re
sort to this temple of erience, to be re-distributed,
in due time, through every part of the community ;
sources of jealousy and prejudice would bedimiqish
ed, the features ol national character would be mul
tiplied, and greater extent given'to social harmony.
But above all, a well constituted seminary, in the
centre of the nstion, is reronwiended by the consi
deration that the additional instruction emanating
liom it, would contribute not less to strengthen the
foundation, than to adorn the structure of our free
and happy system of government. . v
Among the commercial abuses still committed
under the American flag, and leaving in force my
former reference to that subject, it appears that A
mencan citizens are instrumental in earring on a
traflirk in enslaved Africans, equally in violation of
the laws of liumatiity, and in defiance of those of
their own country. The same just and benevolent
motives which produced the interdiction in foire
against this criminal conduct, will doubtless be felt
by congress in devising further meaus of suppress
iiigthe*yil.';;wV£4>.i*>A ui'

These preparations for arming the militia having
thus far provided for one of the objects contempla
ted by the power vested in roagrags, vfjih respect
to that great bulwark of the public safety ; it is for
I tbeir consideration, whether further provisions are
i n°t requisite, fur the other contemplated objects,
; of organization and discipline. To give to this
! great mass of physical and moral foref^ the effici
ency which it merits, and ia capable of receiving;
ii i* wdispensmle tout they should be instructed
and practised in the rules by which they “are to be
governed. Towards an accomplishment of this
i important work, I recommend for the considera
' lion of congress the expediency of instituting a
1 system, which shall, in the first instance, call iu
to the field, at the public expense, and for a given
time, certain portions of the commissioned arjd un
commissioned officers. The instruction and disci
pline thus arquired would gradually diffuse through
the entire body of the militia that practical know,
ledge and promptitude for active service, which are
the great ends to be pursued. Experience bag left
no doubt, eitberof the necessity, or of the efficacy,
of competent military skill, in those portions of
an army, in fitting it for the final duties, which it
may have to perform. J
The corps of engineers, with the military acade
my, are entitled to the early attention of congress.
The buildings at the seat, fixed by law, for the pre
sent academy, are so fur in decay, as not to afford
the necessary accommodation. But a revision of
the law is recommended,-principally with a view
to a more enlarged cultivation and diffusion of the
advantages of such institutions, by providing pro
fessorships for all the,necessary branches of milita
ry instruction, and by the establishment of an ad
ditional academy, at the seat of government, or else
where. The means by which war, as .well for de
fence, as for offence, are now carried on, render
these schools of the more scientific operations an
indispensible part of every adequate system. Even
among lotions whose Urge standing armies and
frequent wars afford every other opportunity of in
struction, these establishments are found to he in
dijpensible for the due attainment of the branches
of military scfhnre, which require a regular course of
study and experiment. In a government, happily
without the other opportunities, seminaries, where
the elementary principles of the art of war can be
taught withoutactual war and wilhnutthe expense of
extensive and standing armies, have the precious ad
vantage of umtiiiganessential preparation against ex
ternal danger, with a scrupulous regard to internal
safety. In no other way, pmbably, can a provision
of equal efficacy for the pubiirk defence be made at
so little expense or more consistently with the pub
lick liberty.
The rereipts into the treasury during the year
ending on the 30lh of September last (snd amount
ing to more than eight millions and a half of dollars)
have exceeded the current expenses of the Govern
ment, including the interest on the public debt. For
the purpose of reimbursing at the end of the year
3,750,000 dollars of the principal, a loan at au
thorized by law, had been negocialed to that
amount: but has since been reduced to 2,730,000
dollars; the reduction being permitted by the state
of the treasury ; in which there will he a balance,
remaining at the end of the year, estimated at*
2,000,000 dollars. For the probable receipts of
1 hr next year, and. other details, I refer to state
ments which will be transmitted from the treasury,
and which will enable you to judge what further pro
visions may be necessary for the eusuing years.
Reserving for future occasions, in the course of
the session, whatever other communications may
claim your attention, I close the present, by ex
pressing my reliance, under the blessing of Divine
Provideuce on the judgment and patriotism which
will guide your measures, at a period particularly
culling for united councils, and inflexible exertions
for the welfare of our country ; and by assuring you
of the fidelity and alacrity with which my co-ope
ration will be afforded.
JAMES MADISON.
From among the volumnious mass of dncumcnte
accompanying the Message of the President, we
have selected the following, which appear to us par
ticularly interesting:
From tie Secretary of State to Gov. Claiborne.
.. Department of State,
October 27, 1810.
Sir, '
Frorn the enclosed proclamation of the President
of the United States you will perceive his determi
nation to take possession of the. territory therein
specified, in the name and behalf of the U. States;
the considerations which have constrained him to
resort to this necessary measure, and his direction
that you, as governor of the Orleans territory, shall
execute the same. Of this proclamation, upon your
arrival at Matches, you will, without delay, cause
to be printed as many copies, in the English, French
and Spanish languages, as may be deemed necessary,
and you will cause the same to he extensively circu
lated throughout the said territory.
You will immediately proceed by the.uearest and
best route to the town of Washington in the Mis
sissippi territory. From the secretary at war you
will receive au order to the officers commanding the
several frontier posts to afford you socK assistance
in passing the wilderness and io descending the wes
tern waters as you may require. And, as despatch
is very desirable, you are authorised, in case your
burses should fail, to procure others at the public ex
pense. After having made at Washington the ne
cessary arrangements with. gov. Hole
es and with
the commanding officer of the regular
roops, you
will without delay, proceed into the said territory,
and, in virtue of the President’* proclamation, take
possession of the'same in the name and in behalf
of the Udited Stales.
As the district, l
< »- ■■■**. ybu are

, of the territory of Orleans,* Jroo will, after taking
possession, lose no time m proceeding, to organize
the militia, to prescnbo toe fcotrhds of parishes, to
«mi>lish parish courts, and finally to do whatever
yopr legal power* applicable’ to the ease will war

A PROCLAMATION. V ' V-'
Whereas the Tetntory South of the Mississippi £
Territory, and Eastward of the river Mississippi,
and extending to the river Peidido, of whiefa pos
session was not dleivered to the United States in
pursuance of the treaty concluded at Paris <>a the
30th of April, 1803, has at all times, as tiT well •
known, been considered and claimed by the&‘ a*
beiiij> within thj colony of Louisiana c'onveyed by '
the said treaty in the same extent that it had in tho
bands of Spain, and that it bad when Francs orb- "
gmally possessed it. -
And whereas the acquiescence of the U. States in
the temporary continuance of the said territory un
der the Spanish authonty was not the result of any
distrust of their title, as has been particularly
evinced by tbe general tenor of tbsir lawi^end by '*5
thedutinrtion made in the application of thoselaws
between that teniiory and iorelp countries; but
was occasioned by their conciliatory views, and by
a conlidijit^e in the justice ot their cause; add iti.t,
the succejff of candid discussion and amicable negoi 3
nation with a just and frieidly power. - ^
And whereas a satisfactory adjustment, too lone
delayed, withdkn the fault of the U. States, hajt %
some lime been entirely suspended by even^^ver
which they had no control; and whereas a trills
has at length arrived aubveraive of the ordSt of
things under the Spanish authorities, whereby • ’
failure of the U. Sluice to lake the said' territory
into its possession may lead to events ultimately
contravening the views of both paitics, whilet in,
the mean time the tranquility and security of out
adjoining tenitories are endangered, and new facili
ties given to Violations of our revenue and commer
cial laws, aud of those prohibiting the introduction
of slaves:. V?. > n, ’
Considering moreover, that under these pccttlift
and imperative cirromslances, a forbearance on this
part of tbe United Stales to occupy the teiritury in
question, and thereby guard agajjni the confusion*
and contingencies which thrcalaftk might be con
strued into a dereliction of ibeirUte, or an iosensi
hility to the impottance of tHfe stake: considering
that in tbe hands of the United States it trill rnol
cease to be a subject of fair and friendly negotiation
aud adjustment; considering finally that the beta of
congress, though contemplating apreient possessi
on by a foreign ‘.uthority, have contemplated also
an eventual possession of the said territory by tha
United States, and art accordingly so framed at, in
that case to extend in tbeir operation to the same:
Now be it known, that I, JAMES MADiSQtf.l
