PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, the President of the United States communicated by Mr. Coles, his Secretary, the following Message to both Houses of Congress.
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled.
IT would have given me, fellow citizens, great satisfaction to announce, in the moment of your meeting, that the difficulties in our foreign relations, existing at the time of your last separation, had been amicably and justly terminated. I lost no time in taking those measures which were most likely to bring them to such a termination, by special missions, charged with such powers and instructions as, in the event of failure, could leave no imputation on either our moderation or forbearance. The delays, which have since taken place in our negotiations with the British Government, appear to have proceeded from causes which do not forbid the expectation that, during the course of the session, I may be enabled to lay before you their final issue. What will be that of the negotiations for settling our differences with Spain, nothing which had taken place at the date of the last dispatches, enables us to pronounce. On the Western side of the Mississippi they advanced in considerable force and took post in the settlement of Bayou Pierre, on the Red river. This village was originally settled by France, was held by her as long as she held Louisiana, and was delivered to Spain only as a part of Louisiana. Being small, insulated, and distant, it was not observed at the moment of re-delivery to France and the United States, that she continued a guard of half a dozen men, which had been stationed there. A proposition, however, having been lately made by our commander in chief, to assume the Sabine river as a temporary line of separation between the troops of the two nations, until the issue of our negotiations shall be known—This has been referred by the Spanish commandant to his superior, and in the mean time he has withdrawn his force to the western side of the Sabine river. The correspondence on this subject, now communicated, will exhibit more particularly the state of things in that quarter.
The nature of that country requires indispensably that an unusual proportion of the force employed there should be cavalry, or mounted infantry. In order, therefore, that the commanding officer might be enabled to act with effect, I had authorized him to call on the governors of Orleans and Mississippi for a corps of five hundred volunteer cavalry. The temporary arrangement he has proposed may perhaps render this unnecessary. But I inform you with great pleasure of the promptitude with which the inhabitants of those territories have rendered their services in defence of their country. It has done honor to themselves, entitled them to the confidence of their fellow citizens in every part of the union, and must strengthen the general determination to protect them efficaciously under all circumstances which may occur.
Having received information that in another part of the United States a great number of private individuals were combining together, arming and organizing themselves, contrary to law, to carry on a military expedition against the territories of Spain, I thought it necessary, by proclamation, as well as by special orders, to take measures for preventing and suppressing this enterprise, for seizing the vessels, arms, and other means provided for it, and for arresting and bringing to justice its authors and abettors. It was due to that good faith which ought ever to be the rule of action in public, as well as in private transactions; it was due to good order, and regular government, that, while the public force was acting strictly on the defensive, and merely to protect our citizens from aggression, the criminal attempts of private individuals to decide, for their country, the question of peace or war, by commencing active, and unauthorized hostilities, should be promptly and efficaciously suppressed.
Whether it will be necessary to enlarge our regular force, will depend on the result of our negotiations with Spain. But as it is uncertain when that result will be known the provisional measures requisite for that and to meet any pressure intervening in
that quarter, will be a subject for your early consideration.
The possession of both banks of the Mississippi reducing to a single point the defence of that river, its waters, and the country adjacent, it becomes highly necessary to provide, for that point, a more adequate security. Some position above its mouth, commanding the passage of the river, should be rendered sufficiently strong to cover the armed vessels which may be stationed there for defence; and, in conjunction with them, to present an insuperable obstacle to any force, attempting to pass. The approaches to the city of New Orleans, from the eastern quarter also, will require to be examined, and more effectually guarded. For the internal support of the country, the encouragement of a strong settlement on the western side of the Mississippi, within reach of New Orleans, will be worthy the consideration of the Legislature.
The gun boats, authorised by an act of the last session, are so advanced, that they will be ready for service in the ensuing spring. Circumstances permitted us to allow the time necessary for their more solid construction. As a much larger number will still be wanting to place our sea port towns and waters in that state of defence to which we are competent, and they entitled, a similar appropriation for a further provision of them is recommended for the ensuing year.
A further appropriation will also be necessary for repairing fortifications already established, and the erection of such other works as may have real effect in obstructing the approach of an enemy to our sea port towns, or their remaining before them.
In a country whose constitution is derived from the will of the people, directly expressed by their free suffrages, where the principal executive functionaries, and those of the legislature are renewed by them at short periods, where under the character of jurors, they exercise in person the greatest portion of the judiciary powers, where laws are consequently so formed and administered as to bear with equal weight and favor on all, restraining no man in the pursuits of honest industry, and securing to every one the property which that acquires, it would not be supposed that any safeguards could be needed against insurrection or enterprise, on the public peace or authority. The laws however aware, that these should not be trusted to moral restraints only have wisely provided punishment for these crimes when committed. But would it not be salutary to give also the means of preventing their commission?—Where an enterprise is meditated by private individuals against a foreign nation, in aid with the United States, powers of prevention, to a certain extent, are given by the laws.—Would they not be as reasonable and useful, where the enterprise preparing is against the United States? While advertizing to this branch of the law it is proper to observe that in enterprises meditated against foreign nations, the ordinary process of binding to the observance of the peace and good behaviour could it be extended to acts to be done out of the jurisdiction of the United States, would be effectual in some cases, where the offenders are able to keep out of sight every indication of his purpose which could draw on him the exercise of the powers now given by law.
The states of the coast of Barbary seem generally disposed at present to respect our peace and friendship. With Tunis alone some uncertainty remains. Persuaded that it is our interest to maintain our peace with them on equal terms or not at all, I propose to send in due time a reinforcement into the Mediterranean; unless previous information shall shew it to be unnecessary.
We continue to receive proofs of the growing attachment of our Indian neighbors, and of their disposition to place all their interests under the patronage of the United States. These dispositions are inspired by their confidence in our justice, & in the sincere concern we feel for their welfare.—And as long as we discharge these high and honorable functions with the integrity and good faith which alone can entitle us to their continuance, we may expect to reap the just reward in their peace and friendship.
The expeditions of Messrs. Lewis and Clarke, for exploring the river Missouri, and the best communication from that to the Pacific Ocean, has had all the success which could have been expected. They have traced the Missouri nearly to its source, descended the Columbia to the Pacific Ocean, ascertained with accuracy the geography of that interesting communication across our continent, learn the character of the country, of its commerce and
inhabitants, and it but justice to say that Messrs. Lewis and Clarke and their brave companions, have by this arduous service deserved well of their country.
The attempt to explore the Red River under the direction of Mr. Freeman, tho' conducted with a zeal and prudence meriting entire approbation, has not been equally successful. After proceeding up it about six hundred miles, nearly as far as the French settlements had extended while the country was in their possession, our geographers were obliged to return without compleating their work.
Very useful additions have also been made to our knowledge of the Mississippi, by lieutenant Pike, who has ascended it to its source, and whose journal and map, giving the details of his journey, will shortly be ready for communication to both houses of congress. Those of Messrs. Lewis, Clark and Freeman, will require further time to be digested and prepared. These important surveys, in addition to those before possessed, furnish materials for commencing an accurate map of the Mississippi and its western waters. Some principal rivers however remain still to be explored, towards which the authorisation of congress by moderate appropriations, will be requisite.
I congratulate you, fellow citizens, on the approach of the period at which you may interpose your authority constitutionally, to withdraw the citizens of the United States, from all further participation in those violations of human rights, which have been so long continued on the unoffending inhabitants of Africa, and which the morality, the reputation, and the best interests of our country, have long been eager to proscribe. Although no law you may pass can take prohibitory effect till the first day of the year one thousand eight hundred and eight, yet the intervening period is not too long to prevent, by timely notice, expeditions which cannot be compleated before that day.
The receipts at the treasury, during the year ending on the 30th day of September last, have amounted to near fifteen millions of dollars; which have enabled us, after meeting the current demands, to pay two millions seven hundred thousand dollars of the American claims, in part of the price of Louisiana; to pay, of the funded debt, upwards of three millions of principal, and nearly four of interest, and, in addition, to reimburse in the course of the present month, near two millions of five and a half per cent stock. These payments and reimbursements of the funded debt, with those which had been made in the four years and a half preceding, will, at the close of the present year, have extinguished upwards of twenty-three millions of principal.
The duties composing the Mediterranean fund will cease, by law, at the end of the present session. Considering, however, that they are levied chiefly on luxuries, and that we have an impost on salt, a necessary of life, the free use of which otherwise is so important, I recommend to your consideration the suppression of the duties on salt, and the continuation of the Mediterranean fund, instead thereof, for a short time, after which that also will become unnecessary for any purpose now within contemplation.
When both of these branches of revenue shall, in this way, be relinquished, there will still, ere long, be an accumulation of monies in the treasury beyond the instalments of public debt which we are permitted by contract to pay. They cannot, then without a modification, assented to by the public creditors, be applied to the extinguishment of this debt, and complete liberation of our revenues, the most desirable of all objects. Nor, if our peace continues, will they be wanting for any other existing purpose. The question, therefore, now comes forward, to what other objects shall these surpluses be appropriated, and the whole surplus of impost after the entire discharge of the public debt, and during those intervals when the purposes of war shall not call for them? Shall we suppress the impost, and give that advantage to foreign over domestic manufactures? On a few articles of more general and necessary use, the suppression, in due season, will doubtless be right; but the great mass of the articles on which impost is paid, are foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance, and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement, as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers.
By these operations, new channels of communication will be opened between the
states; the lines of separation will disappear, their interests will be identified, and their union cemented by new and indissoluble ties. Education is here placed among the articles of public care, not that it would be proposed to take its ordinary branches out of the hands of private enterprise, which manages so much better all the concerns to which it is equal: but a public institution can alone supply those sciences, which though rarely called for, are yet necessary to compleat the circle, all the parts of which contribute to the improvement of the country, and some of them to its preservation. The subject is now proposed for the consideration of Congress, because, if approved, by the time the state legislatures shall have deliberated on this extension of the federal trusts, and the laws shall be passed, and other arrangements made for their execution, the necessary funds will be on hand, and without employment. I suppose an amendment to the constitution, by consent of the states, necessary; because the objects now recommended are not among those enumerated in the constitution, and to which it permits the public monies to be applied.
The present consideration of a national establishment for education particularly, is rendered proper by this circumstance also, that, if Congress, approving the proposition, shall yet think it more eligible to found it on a donation of lands, they have it now in their power to endow it, with those which will be among the earliest to produce the necessary income. The foundation would have the advantage of being independent on war, which may suspend other improvements by requiring for its own purposes the resources destined for them.
This, fellow citizens, is the state of the public interests, at the present moment, and according to the information now possessed. But such is the situation of the nations of Europe, and such too the predicament in which we stand with some of them, that we cannot rely with certainty on the present aspect of our affairs, that may change from moment to moment, during the course of your session, or after you shall have separated. Our duty is therefore to act upon the things as they are, and to make a reasonable provision for whatever they may be. Were arms to be raised whenever a spectre of war is visible in our horizon, we never should have been without them. Our resources would have been exhausted on dangers which have never happened, instead of being reserved for what is really to take place. A steady, perhaps a quickened pace, in preparations for the defence of our sea-port towns and waters, an early settlement of the most exposed and vulnerable parts of our country, a militia so organized that its effective portions can be called to any point of the union, or volunteers tested of them, to serve a sufficient time, are means which may always be ready, yet never preying on our resources until actually called into use. They will maintain the public interests, while a more permanent force shall be in a course of preparation.—But much will depend on the promptitude with which these means can be brought into activity. If war be forced upon us, in spite of our long and vain appeals to the justice of nations, rapid and vigorous movements, in its onset, will go far towards securing us in its course and issue, and towards throwing its burthen on those who render necessary the resort from reason to force.
The result of our negotiations, on such incidents in their course as may enable us to infer their probable issue; such further movements also on our western frontiers may shew whether war is to be pressed there, while negotiation is protracted elsewhere, shall be communicated to you from time to time, as they become known to me; with whatever other information I possess or may receive, which may aid your deliberations on the great national interests committed to your charge.
TH: JEFFERSON.

From the Frederick-Town Herald.
NEW YORK FEDERALISM.
IT cannot be forgotten, what artifices were practised, and calumnies were circulated a few years since to excite in the minds of the people of New York suspicions of the designing views of those to whom they had confided their government, and to bring into power, that party which had exclusively appropriated to itself the appellation of Friends of the People. It was not without the most unfeigned efforts that good men in every part of the union viewed the illusions which prevailed among the people of our largest commercial city, and

the blind infatuation by which they were brought to force the old and approved friends of the country to give way to the designing demagogues and unprincipled office-seekers.  Relying on the professions of men who only promised to deceive and flattered to ruin them, they were induced to remove the federalists in whom they had before confided, and to elect into office the blood hounds of faction—the followers of Clinton and a Cheetham. No sooner however had this faction gained an ascendancy in the public councils, than forgetful of every promise and only mindful of their own interest and aggrandizement, they set about glorious work of reformation, by reducing their minions at the expence of duty and of the public good, and they who had been so loud in their clamors about the extravagance of federal men, and had boasted of their own love of economy, were found wasteful of the public's money, and utterly regardless of the public weal. Calculating upon the continuance of the popular delusions, they did not hesitate to appropriate to themselves, and to their minions, the wages of their iniquity, and the interests of the people were sacrificed, in order to encrease their own power. This conduct in the professed friends of the people, was at once detected and exposed. The people were however reluctant to believe, that men who had promised so much were capable of so soon betraying them, and in spite of the clearest demonstration of the unworthiness of their newly made rulers, determined to continue to them their confidence. At length they have been undeceived and determined to rely no longer on the professions and promises of men, who in a moment of blind infatuation had usurped their confidence, have boldly investigated their pretensions and have tested their conduct by the professions which had acquired to them the public favor. The day of serious reckoning had arrived, and it was a day fatal to their pretensions. In the late election which has taken place in the city of New York, federalism has been signally successful, and the polls of the different wards show that, that city which so lately was decidedly democratic in its politics, is now revolutionized and turning from the error of their ways. The people have again embraced the sound and just politics of Washington and federalists.  On this event we congratulate every well wisher of America and its happiness. So complete a revolution in the politics of the commercial city of New York, cannot but be productive of salutary consequences to the whole union. The result of that election has been owing to no popular delusion. The agents of corruption, the wicked and unprincipled, were enlisted on the side of democracy, and every thing calculated to excite the prejudices of the people against the federalists, and to lull every suspicion of their enemies has been put in practice to keep in the hands of the ruling party their ill gotten power. In spite however, of the exertions of the base henchmen of faction the cause of truth, of good order and sound principles has prevailed. The people determined to judge for themselves of the pretensions of the candidates for their favor and their judgment freely and independently exercised, has been correct. Nor can we, while reflecting on the consequences of this election in a sister state, forbear to notice the equally auspicious result of some of those which have recently taken place in Maryland. In them may be read an useful lesson to noisy demagogues, and unprincipled tools of party. Great men have been humbled. Those who claimed the right of dictating and attempted to dictate, to their fellow citizens, have been unmasked, and disgraced by the people. Those who were ready, and determined to inflict vengeance upon the independent and upright men of their own party, who had dared to differ from them and to resist their views, have been made to feel that they were within the reach of the people. Those who thought they were leaders have been deserted by the men whom they supposed to be their followers. Those who had persuaded themselves that they had only to speak their wishes, and did speak them, have been laughed to scorn by the men to whom they were addressed. Those who were ordered, have refused obedience to the orders of men who claimed to be their masters. The people determined yet to be free have by their voice reduced to insignificance and contempt, their would be dictators, and the resolves of general committees, are no longer regarded as the mandates of a sovereign, to whom implicit obedience is to be paid.  The events depending upon the coalition now forming in Europe against France, may be considered the most momentous of any since the birth of our Saviour. All the
great interests of man depend upon it. If France is driven back to her former limits, the world will progress and continue, as it has, for several centuries, to advance in science, in arts and civilization. The great cause of christianity will be promoted and the greater portion of the human race may in a few years reap the benefit of that system, in its moral, if not religious principles. If France is victorious over the allies, farewell a long farewell "to all that our souls hold dear," that event will extend her dominion over Europe, and then what can fix any limits to her power; who shall say to her then, here shall thy proud waves be staid. "Mourn earth! When that awful event shall meet thee, put off thy beautiful ornaments, hang thy harp upon the willows; gird thyself in sackcloth and sit in ashes; for peace will have forsaken thee & thy glory will have departed forever."
The institutions of universal society will be changed and the will of France substituted in their place. She will then rule without control and without mercy. Centuries will roll away and still witness the tyranny of that nation, whose tender mercies have always been cruelly. If the world should ever emerge from that desperate state of thralldom, it will appear like the broken fragments of a ship at first ingulfed and then disgorged from a destructive whirlpool.
Like old Rome, she will load mankind with requisitions, to purvey to her extravagance, until she herself becomes bloated and rotten with luxury. Nothing human can oppose that nation with success, but the present coalition—"the vast moments of the world's redemption rest upon it"—and ages of slavery will be the fruit of their defeat. It behoves all nations that enjoy a spark of liberty, or ever hope to, to draw the sword or throw its weight, whatever it may be, into that scale which is opposed to her—and thereby help to save the world from the greatest curse that ever threatened it, the tyranny of a Frenchman.

Fifty Dollars Reward. ON the night of Tuesday the 14th instant, a negro man, named BEN, the property of the subscriber, broke the jail of Prince George's county, where he had been put for security, and made his escape; in his escape he was accompanied by a white man of the name of EARL, who had been committed for robbery. Earl said he was a sea-faring man, a native of Philadelphia, that his father had been sailing master of the United States ship Congress, whilst under the command of Captain Decatur, and is now commander of the gun boat stationed off New-Orleans. He is about 5 feet 10 inches high, slender made, about 24 or 25 years old, and has light brown or sandy colored hair. I think it is probable he may carry Ben with him and pass him as his slave until he has an opportunity of selling him. Whilst in jail Earl's clothing was a blue India cotton seaman's jacket, and trousers of the same. Ben is a shoemaker and gardener by trade, he is also a tanner, and can be a very expert house servant—he is about 38 years of age, and from 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 8 inches high, stout and square built, has very woolly hair, and eyes, flat nose, and a black complexion—he is a fellow of considerable address and great plausibility, disposed to be rather peevish and impudent, especially when intoxicated, but is easily reduced to submission.
I will give a reward of Thirty Dollars to any person who will secure him in any jail so that I may get him again, or to any person who will apprehend him and bring him to me. I will give a reward as follows: if taken 100 miles or upwards from home I will give 50 dollars, if taken from 40 to 100 miles from home I will give 40 dollars, or if taken within 40 miles of this place I will give 30 dollars, besides defraying reasonable expenses in bringing him home.
All masters of vessels and others are hereby forbidden from harboring, employing or carrying off said Negro, as I will prosecute whoever shall do so with the utmost rigour of law.
