MESSAGE.
This thy, at twelve o'clock, the. l'resident of the
United States tratismittrd to both Houses of Coti-
gteo the following Message, by Mr. JOSEPH JoNt.s
Mott Roe, his Secretary :

iv Ma Sonde, ~,d of lie Howe of /:e•

preleatutires,
At no period of our political existeece bad we so mooch
cense to felicitate ourselves at jibe prosperous and happy
condition of our country. Ike abundant fruits of the earth
have fitted it with plenty. An extessive and profitable now-
sneree has greatly augineutedour.reireirm. The public cre-
dit has attaired au eatiaordiniry elevation. .q!iprepara-
tious fur defence, in ease of future was, from which, by the
experience of all ratios% we ought DM to expect Is be ex-
empted, am advancing, muter k well-digested system, with
all the distrait,' which so important a work will admit. Our.
free Government, founded on the istermil sod affections of
the people, has gained, and is daily pholog, strewth. Local
jealousies are rapidly yielding to More getting's, enlarged,
and enlightened views of national policy. For advantages so .
numerous, and highly important, it is oar July to unite in
grateful acknowledgments to that Orsaimilleat Krieg, from
whom they are de►ived, and in uticeasiog prayer, that he will
endow us with virtue and strength to maiatein and hand
them down, in their utmost purity,be oar latest posterity •
I have the satisfaction to inform yOlsr that as arra"gr-
meat, which hail been commence by my predecessor, with
the British Government for the reduction of the naval force,
by Great Britain and the Vnited States, on the Lakes, has
been concluded ; by which it is provided, that ucitber party
shall keep iu service on Lake Champlain more than one
vessrl ; on Lake Ontario more than we; and on Lake Erie,
suit the Upper Lake., more this two ; to be armed, each,
will, title cannot, only ; and that all the other armed vessels,
of both palsies, of which an exact lilt is inteichaaged„ shall
be dismantled. It is also agreed, Shut the farce Maimed
shall lie restricted, in its Jute, to She isthmoid purposes of
nick party ; and that the arrangement shall remain-1i" force
until six mouths shall have expired, after notice given by
uue of the parties to the other of its desire that it should ter-
minate. By this arrangement, useless extreme, cm both
sith,. and what is of stilt greater importance, the danger of
collision betweeu armed 'sands in Ilium iulaud waters, which
was gnat, is pretreated.

have the sati►faction alto to state, that the Coanalaaiotsees,
antler the fourth Abrade of the Treaty of Ghent, to whoa it
was ieferreil to decide, to which party the several islands i■
the llay of Parsainaquoddy belonged wader the Treaty of
1783, have agreed ie a Report, by which all the Islands in
Iltr possesaiiiii of each party before the late war hare been
&rated to it. The CUlllielielblollll.lll acting odder the other

Articles of the Treaty of Gbrut, br the settlement of bowl-
charier., have also bens eitgagrd he the discharge of their re-
apertive duties., best have not yet eunspleted them. The dif-
ferenee whirl, arose between the two Goveronserts under that
Treaty, respecting the right of the Visited States to take and
curt fish on the roast of the British Produces, north of our
limits, which bad been sectored by the Treaty of 1783,e5-still
in ntguisatiou. The propositiou made by this Govcrnmettl,
lai raked to the Columba of Great Britain the principle of
the CsrhYrKiiolll of Lomlois, by which the commerce hetweeu
the poets of the Visited States and British poks to Earope
had been phased on a foutirg of equality, has been &elided
by the British Goveystsest. This subject having hese thus
amicably discussed between the two Goverumenta, and it Sr.
peering that the British Government is unwilling to depart
from its present regulation', it rensaios for Congress to de-
ride, whether they will make any other relyislatious, its cuss-
*Norm* thereof, fur the protection and improvement of our
navigation.
The isegotiaCion with Spain, for mpoliations on oar com-
merce, and the settlement of boundaries, remained, essen-
tially, its the state it held, by the cumniunieations that were
made to Congress by my predecessor. It has been evidently
the puliry of the Spanish Goverument to keep the ilegutia-
tins suspended, sail in this the Visited States have ac-
quiesced, bum an amicable disposition towards Spain, and in
the espeetation that her Government would, from a mime of
jestire, finally servile to such an arrangement as would be
egnal between the parties. A disposition has been lately
shown by the Spanish Govetsummt to move in the negotia-
tion, w hirh has been met by this Government, and, should
the conciliatory and friendly pulley, whirls has invariably
;Nish ri our Council., lie reciprocated, a just and satisfactory
arraily wrul may lie a spectre,. It in limper, however, to re-
math, that no propswitiost Ilan yet been made fermis which
"melt a rd anti eau be presented.
It was netteipeted, at au early stage, that the contest
lut wren Spain nod the Colosiiee would become inters "firm, to
the Failed States. It was natural that our citizen. .1 hi
symp iihise in •vents whirls affictist their neighbours. It
steles it proleilik also, that the pro/reflation of the esintllet

The PaESIDrNT'S Nle.sage to the Coire., of
the United States of AMefICII is contoinutt 111 the
New Yotk Pipers which have arrived since our 1,4
publication. It is impossiblei iu this country, :lot

seem, b►• their extent, to he the more certain
harbinger of future greatness ; and there is in
its progress such a happy union of wisdom mud
consistency, forbearance and metriartimity, mo-
deration and energy, all happily blended, and
each operating with felicitous propriety, that its
success appears to be insured almost beyond
the control of fortune, and the influence of foreign
hostility. The Message commences With the Proud
boast, Ant at no period of their political indepen-
dence had the States greater cense to felicitate them-
'selves on their happiness and prosperity. The har-
vest has beets abondinet, the revenoe unaheally pro-
ductive, public credit had inereased, their military
power had been greatly augmented, and their Go-
ve►nmeht had 'Acquired ni•* and *increased strength
in the interests and affections of the people. In the
review of their foreign relations, we perceive with
pleasure that an and conciliatory spirit
prevails in the negociatioas between this country
nod the Polled States. The naval strength or both

session, MI el t hir side, (lone or two vessels, erased with
only one catn►on—an arrangement wherein all imam-
di.ste Insteful expenditure, ■nd the fruitful airtime,
of future contest, have been equally avoided. The
boundaries between the two Miters have not yet
been ascertained, but the islands in the Bay of
Passamaquoddy have been happily adjudged to the
respective proprietors of them previous to the late
hostilities. A proposition made by the American
Government to our Minisiers to extend the
principles of the Contrention of London to
the British Colonies, mid to establish a corn.
mercial equality between the Colooial ports and
those of the United States, has been rejected
by the British Cabinet. If this proposition went
to destroy the monopoly of the Colonial trade en-
joyed by Great Britain, «e do not conceive that it
could he entertaiued for r moment, iinlesi accost)•
prettied by certain stipulations on the part of the
Cohmists, to which they might not be very willing
to moment.

The contest between Spain and her American
Cuknurs is noticed, with a grin determination of
on the pirt of tliff United States, a
strict neutrality between the parties. The mission
of three Citizens of the Union to the Southern Pio-
vinces, whose departure had given rise to massy ape-
relations, seems to have had no other object than
to olnuiii correct inforniation on every subject in
which the United States are interested ; to inspire
just sentiments in all persons in authotity, on either
side, of our (the United States) friendly disposi-
tions, as far as it may comport dith an impartial
neutrality ; and to secure proper respect to our
commerce in eveey I►tftn4', and, from every flag."—
This latter purpose appears to he peculiarly impe-
rative on the Govern'tient. for in the shock of the
adverse powers, the commerce and Rig of the Unit-
ed States were insulted and outraged by the pri-
vateers of both partied, but particularly by those
winch had been lilted out by the nondescript
ernments established in Amelia. Island, at the
mouth of St. biary'll river, and Galveston, in the
Gov of Mexico. To both of these places, how-
ever, the United States claim the right of property,
either by actual or expected cession, and induced
by tine, as tell us the paramount consideration of
what is due to the rights and interests or their com-
merce, the Gove 11111 l ent of the United States has
