Adopted
A message troui the President was received it>
the following words :
To the Senate and Haute of Representatives of the
United, States.
The act authorising the attachment of one him
<red thousand men from the militia, wilt expire on
t* ftClh-of Attgch next. Its early revival is re
commended, iWirder that steps may be taken for ar
ungements such as that act contemplates.
Without interfering with the mediticatinn ren
deted necessary by tfca defects or tl>» inetficacy of
the laws iestrictivtofcnmmerc.fi and navigation or
with the pnFiry of allowing the foreign armed ves
sels the nse ol cur waters ; it falls within my duly
to recommend also, that an additiou to the precau
tionary measures authorised by that act, and u tbs
regular troops lor completing the legal establish
ment of which, enlistments are revived, every ne
cessary provision may be made for a volunteer
force ol twenty thousand men to be enlisted fur a
short period, and held in a state of organization,
i>.r,d readiness lor actual service, at the shortest
warning.
I submit to the consideration of congress more
over the expediency of such classification and or
ganization ol the militia us will best secure prompt
and successive aids, trom that source adequate to
emergencies wlvrh may call for them.
It will rest with them also to determine how far
further provision may be expedient for putting into
actual service if necessary any part of the naval
armament not now employed.
At a period presenting lectures in the conduct ef
foreign powers towards the United Slates which im
pose on them the necessity of precautionary mea
sures involving expanse, it is ». happy connideratian
that sue.i is toe solid state 01 poulic credit, that re
liance may he justly placed on any legal provision
that may be m-tie for i (sorting to it in a convenient
*orm and to an adequate amount.
James Madison.
January 5, 1S10.
The message was referred to the committees on
i the ntv.si and military establishments of the United
-states, and to the committee of ways and means.
Mr. liurwc'l offered the following resolution,
wvirh was adopted, and a committee appointed to
present it to to.- president.
Resolved. That the president of Ibe UnitedStates
tit* 10 uy oeior# this !jou*e any inforniati
on lie may possess relative to the blockade «f the
ports oi tlic Baltic by France, and to the exclusion
o! neutrals by ltnssia, Sweden, and Denmark.
i be i “so'iiijons iroun the Senate were read a third
lone. The question now lisforc the bouse, “Shall
this resolution n w pass ?"
Hr. Newton rose, end in t very laboured speech
of two horns, attempted to justify the resolutions.
Mr. S'nrlnj then rose, and in in abUand eloquent
spr-rh, reprobated the resolutions. He declaud
•b-’-t he did not like the proceedings ,it the adiniuis
iratiii.i in the s'Ta.r of the dismissal of Mr. Jackson.
He co:-!d not find the insult said to be given secre
tary Smith ; but if it had hem fomnd, he theu-ht
i* improper and impolitic for this house t« notice
it ; and if it were iifteesary to notice it, he was oi
opin on that t! e noth c taker, <,f it mthe resolutions
ives imp,-op i. Kp iikew.-e stat'd that if Mr.Jirk
snn fc.-.d insulted Mr. Smith, yet he thought his a
pdogy ny Mr. Oakley, was sufficient, and ought to
l.a.e br> n r *.ve I.
Mr. J 'tn'd/ey spoke a few words in favour of the
r. .Mil tons, which ws could not distinctly under
stand.
Mr. Garrlenier moved to postpone the further
ronsideratioo of the resolutions to the 3d Mmucy

DKAR SIR—I have
the hrst t online of your edition of the Statutes of Vir
ginia at L*rge ; and am extrerticlv glad that yets
have been able to make such a progress in a Worlc
of such real importance, not only to the gentlemen
of the profession, but to the community at Urge.—
row persons have more reason to estimate the valu*
o. such an undertaking than myself; having tor
hto and twenty years been endeavouring, in vain, to
procure copies of „ur ptihlick acts from the period of
the itvtsal in 1705, to that, of our revolution. And
even from the latter period to the end of the last cen
tury, it was nearly twenty years before I could pro.
£ure copies of all tlie acts of the several Conventions.’
and succeeding legislatures. The unfortunate poller
of omitting laws w hich had either expired, had beet* ,
repealed, or vere ('(^ulidated in the successive re£
visals made during the last century, rendered^ al
most impossible to trace nny subject which 1m4 *n
the attention of successive legislature* tbroueik
a.l the mazes o! us progress. Nothing but » coin- >
plete edition of our laws, at large, can afford time
Ii^nt, so necessary to the welt understanding of the
laws, and the distribution of justice, in our common
country. A work of such magnitude and Import,
uuce must lie attended with infinite labour and ex
pense. \( u have my sincere wishes for your aue
cets in completing th at work, and that it may re*
reive that general encouragement to w hich it is en
titled from so many important considerations.
