SPEECH
Of the President of the United States, to both Houses of Congress.
Fellow citizens of the Senate, and House of Representatives.
I TRUST I do not deceive myself, while I indulge the persuasion, that I have never met you at any period, when, more than at the present, the situation of our public affairs has afforded just cause for mutual congratulation, and for inviting you to join with me in profound gratitude to the Author of all Good, for the numerous and extraordinary blessings we enjoy.
The termination of the long, expensive and distressing war, in which we have been engaged with certain Indians north west of the Ohio, is placed in the option of the United States, by a treaty which the Commander of our Army has concluded provisionally, with the hostile tribes in that region.
In the adjustment of the terms, the satisfaction of the Indians was deemed an object worthy no less of the policy, than of the liberality of the United States, as the necessary basis of durable tranquility. This object it is believed, has been fully attained. The articles agreed upon, will immediately be laid before the Senate, for their consideration.
The Creek and Cherokee Indians, who alone of the Southern tribes had annoyed our frontiers, have lately confirmed their pre-existing treaties with us; and were giving evidence of a sincere disposition to carry them into effect, by the surrender of the prisoners and property they had taken: But we have to lament, that the fair prospect in this quarter, has been once more clouded by wanton murders, which some citizens of Georgia are represented to have recently perpetrated on hunting parties of the Creeks, which have again subjected that frontier to disquietude and danger; which will be productive of further expense, and may occasion more effusion of blood. Measures are pursuing to prevent or mitigate the usual consequences of such outrages; and with the hope of their succeeding, at least to avert general hostility.
A letter from the Emperor of Morocco, announces to us his recognition of our treaty, made with his father the late Emperor; and consequently the continuance of peace with that power. With peculiar satisfaction I add, that information has been received from an Agent deputed on our part to Algiers, importing that the terms of a treaty with the Dey and Regency of that country had been adjusted in such a manner, as to authorize the expectation of a speedy peace, and the restoration of our unfortunate fellow citizens, from a grievous captivity.
The latest advices from our Envoy at the Court of Madrid, give moreover, the pleasing information that he had received assurances of a speedy and satisfactory conclusion of his negotiation. While the event depending upon unadjusted particulars, cannot be regarded as ascertained, it is agreeable to cherish the expectation of an issue which, securing amicably very essential interests of the United States, will at the same time, lay the foundation of lasting harmony with a power whose friendship we have uniformly sincerely desired to cultivate.
Though not before officially disclosed to the House of Representa-
tives, you, gentlemen, are all apprized, that a Treaty of Amity, Commerce and navigation has been negotiated with Great Britain; and that the Senate have advised and consented to its ratification, upon a condition which excepts part of one article. Agreeable thereto, and to the best judgment I was able to form of the public interest after full & mature deliberation, I have added my sanction. The result on the part of his Britannic Majesty is unknown. When received, the subject will, without delay, be placed before Congress.
This interlocking summary of our affairs, with regard to the foreign powers, between whom and the United States controversies have subsisted; and with regard also to those of our Indian neighbours, with whom we have been in a state of enmity or misunderstanding, opens a wide field for consoling and gratifying reflections. It by prudence and moderation on every side, the extinguishment of all the causes of external discord which have heretofore menaced our tranquility on terms compatible with our national rights and honor, shall be the happy result, how firm and how precious a foundation will have been laid for accelerating, maturing and establishing the prosperity of our country.
Contemplating the internal situation, as well as the external relations of the United States, we discover equal cause for contentment and satisfaction. While many of the nations of Europe, with their American dependencies, have been involved in a contest unusually bloody, exhausting & calamitous; in which the evils of foreign war have been aggravated by domestic convulsions and insurrection; in which many of the arts most useful to society have been exposed to discouragement and decay; in which scarcity of subsistence has inflicted other sufferings: while even the anticipations of a return of the blessings of peace and repose, are alloyed by the sense of heavy and accumulating burdens, which press upon the departments of industry, and threaten to clog the future springs of government: our favoured country, happy in a striking contrast, has enjoyed general tranquility—a tranquility the more satisfactory, because maintained at the expence of no duty. Faithful to ourselves, we have violated no obligation to others. Our agriculture, commerce and manufactures prosper beyond former example; the molestations of our trade (to prevent a continuance of which, however, very pointed remonstrances have been made) being overbalanced by the aggregate benefits which it derives from a neutral position. Our population advances with a celerity, which, exceeding the most sanguine calculations, proportionally augments our strength and resources, and guarantees our future security. Every part of the union displays indications of rapid and various improvement, and with burthens so light as scarcely to be perceived; with resources fully adequate to our present exigencies; with Governments founded on the genuine principles of rational liberty, and with mild and wholesome laws:—is it too much to say, that our country, exhibits a spectacle of national happiness never surpassed, if ever before equalled?
Placed in a situation every way auspicious, motives of commanding force impel us, with sincere acknowledgement to Heaven, and pure love to our country, to unite our efforts to preserve, prolong and improve our immense advantages. To co-operate with you in this de-
firable work; is a fervent and favourite wish of my heart.
It is a valuable ingredient in the general estimate of our welfare, that the part of our country, which was lately the scene of disorder and insurrection, now enjoy the blessings of quiet and order. The misled have abandoned their errors, and pay the respect to our constitution and laws, which is due from good citizens to the public authorities of the society. These circumstances have induced me to pardon, generally, the offenders here referred to; and to extend forgiveness to those who had been adjudged to capital punishment. For though I shall always think it a sacred duty, to exercise with firmness and energy the constitutional powers with which I am vested; yet it appears to me no less consistent with the public good than it is with my personal feelings, to mingle in the operations of government every degree of moderation and tenderness, which the national justice, dignity and safety may permit.
Gentlemen,
Among the objects which will claim your attention in the course of the session, a review of our military establishment is not the least important. It is called for by the events which have changed and may be expected still further to change, the relative situation of our frontiers. In this review, you will doubtless allow due weight to the considerations, that the question between us & certain foreign powers, are not yet finally adjusted; that the war in Europe is not yet terminated, and that our western posts, when recovered, will demand provision for garrisoning and securing them. A statement of our present force, will be laid before you by the department of war.
With the review of our army establishment, is naturally connected that of the militia. It will merit enquiry, what imperfection in the existing plan, further experience may have unfolded. The subject is of so much moment, in my estimation, as to excite a constant solicitude, that the consideration of it may be renewed till the greatest attainable perfection shall be accomplished. Time is wearing away some advantages for forwarding the object, while none better deserves the preserving attention of the public councils.
While we indulge the satisfaction, which the actual condition of our western borders so well authorizes; it is necessary that we should not lose sight of an important truth, which continually receives new confirmations—namely, that the provisions heretofore made with a view to the protection of the Indians from the violences of the lawless parts of our frontier inhabitants, are insufficient. It is demonstrated that these violences can now be perpetrated with impunity. And it can need no argument to prove that unless the murdering Indians can be restrained, by bringing the murderers to condign punishment, all the exertions of the government to prevent destructive retaliations by the Indians, will prove fruitless, and all our present agreeable prospects illusory.
The frequent destruction of innocent women and children, who are chiefly the victims of retaliation must continue to shock humanity; and an enormous expence, to drain the treasury of the union.
To enforce upon the Indians the observance of justice, it is indispensable that there shall be competent means of rendering justice to them. If these means can be devised by the wisdom of Congress; and especially if there can be add-
ed an adequate provision for supplying the necessities of the Indians, on reasonable terms, (a measure, the mention of which I the more readily repeat, as in all the conferences with them, they urge it with solicitude)—I should not hesitate to entertain a strong hope of rendering our tranquility permanent. I add with pleasure, that the probability even of their civilization is not diminished by the experiments which have been thus far made, under the auspices of government.—The accomplishment of this work, if practicable, will reflect undecaying lustre on our national character, and admit the most grateful consolation that virtuous minds can know.
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives,
The state of our revenue, with the sums which have been borrowed and reimbursed, pursuant to the different acts of Congress, will be submitted from the proper department; together with an estimate of the appropriations necessary to be made for the service of the ensuing year.
Whether measures may not be advisable to reinforce the provision for the redemption of the public debt, will naturally engage your examination—Congress have demonstrated their sense to be, and it were superfluous to repeat mine, that whatsoever will tend to accelerate the honorable extinction of our public debt, accords as much with the true interest of our country, as with the general sense of our constituents.
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives,
The statements which will be laid before you relative to the mint, will shew you the situation of that institution; and the necessity of some further legislative provisions, for carrying the business of it more completely into effect; and for checking abuses which appear to be rising in particular quarters.
The progress in providing materials for the frigates, and in building them; the state of the fortifications of our harbours; the measures which have been pursued for obtaining proper sites for the arsenals, and for replenishing our magazines with military stores; and the steps which have been taken towards the execution of the law for opening a trade with the Indians;—will likewise be presented for the information of Congress.
Temperate discussion of the important subjects which may arise in the course of the session: and mutual forbearance, where there is a difference of opinion, are too obvious & necessary for the peace, happiness and welfare of our country, to need any recommendation of mine.
Go, WASHINGTON.

CHARLESTON, Nov. 27. Letter from the Spanish Governor at St. Augustine, to the Magistrates of Camden county, Georgia. St. Augustine, 9th October, 1795. Gentlemen,
Under date of the third instant, and by the hand of Capt. Andrew Atkinson, I informed you of the late insult committed by the rebellious subjects of his Majesty, William Ashley and William Downs, an inhabitant of this province, Daniel Plumber, robbing him of three negroes and threatening to take away his life; and I concluded, requesting that they, and the rest of their class, should be apprehended and delivered up to this government as state criminals, restoring at the same time the property plundered from said Plumber; to all which I have received no answer. I have since learned that General Clarke, with a number of citizens of the United States, and some of his majesty's rebellious subjects, have crossed over from the southern border of the river St. Mary to the territory of my sovereign, and that Richard Lang, and all his followers had the same intention, without your having taken the smallest step, as far as I can learn, to put a stop to proceedings so repugnant to the good harmony that subsists between his Catholic Majesty and the United States, the cultivation of which has been so earnestly recommended by both powers. Such inaction places me in the necessity to call upon you to tell me categorically if said States are at war with Spain, and in that case to take such measures, offensive and defensive, as I shall judge proper, to guard myself against your citizens and treat them as enemies. I am however, persuaded that such is not the case by the recent circumstance of Captain Fauche having arrived at your town, with 50 horse, to oppose, in virtue of the order of his excellency the Governor of Georgia, the designs of said Clarke, and his followers: but the little effect so laudable a measure has produced, makes me believe that the aforesaid captain has not met with such assistance amongst you as he ought to expect for the discharge of his commission. Thus circumstanced I feel myself impelled to acquaint you, that the bearer of this has my orders not to return without your answer, which will constitute the rule of my future proceeding; and in reality it will be disagreeable to me to be put to the necessity to vary from those that I have observed during the course of my government with the citizens of Georgia.
I embrace this opportunity to repeat to you my offer of service. God preserve you many years. John Nepomucena de Quesada. Gentlemen Magistrates of County of Camden.
St. Mary's, October 14th 1795. Sir,
With this moment received your communication of the 9th inst, handed by Serjeant Christopher.
The bearer had left town before we came in, or you would have received this by him.
You complain of the Magistrates of Camden county for not having acted friendly towards your government, & offer as a reason, that they have not apprehended the revolted subjects of his Catholic Majesty, and that they have been remiss with respect to Gen. Clarke, and other citizens and inhabitants of the United States, who you call his followers.
The Magistrates of Camden, or any other of the United States, have no power to divest a citizen or inhabitant of his liberty, but on a particular charge, and that supported by a special affidavit.
You say Gen. Clarke has crossed the St. Mary's, and the Magistrates have not taken any measures to prevent it. We can only add, you have been wrong informed, we
have done our duty, and shall continue so to do.
As for your question, whether the United States are at war with your government we have no reason to suppose it, neither do we believe you have.
It is our wish to support a good understanding between the subjects of his Catholic Majesty and the citizens of the United States.
We are, Sir, with due respect, your Excellency's most obedient humble servants,
THOMAS KING, J.P. WILLIAM JONSTON, J.P. RICHARD CARNES, J.P.
P.S. As to Ashley and others, neither they nor the property you mention have crossed the river St. Mary's to our knowledge, since the deprecation you complain of.
We are credibly informed from St. Mary's, that the Magistrates have used every legal method in their power to prevent the enlisting or embodying men in that neighbourhood for foreign service.
Lexington, January 9.
Yesterday the Argus informed us that the tumults in Paris had subsided; and the ministerial papers were censured for exaggerating accounts of those troubles. To-day the same paper tells us that but one rising obstacle is in the way of the French constitution. This may be; but when the last advices left Paris, there was open war in that city; the sections and Conventional troops were actually engaged and slaughtering each other.
