This country had, in fart, become the theatre of every ape.

vernments in albite of revelation, having, no pertensitto lit

every adventurer. A system of buccaneering was iapiilly
organizing over it, which unitary!, in its consequences, the
lawful commerce of every nation, and particularly of the
United States ; while it presented a temptation to est ay
people, on whose reduction success principally depended.
In regard ha the Visited Slater, the pertnei .us effects of this
unlawful combination w. 16 tint confined to the ocean: the
Indian tribes have constituted the effective force to Flo-
rida. With these tribes these adventurers had formed,
at an early period, a connexion, with a view to avail
themselves of that force its IWOMolie their own projrcia of
accunielation and aggrandisement. It sr to the interfe-
refire of same of there adventurers, in misrepresenting
the claims and titles of the lodises to laud, and its pre,
tieing oat their savage propensities, that the Sraninole
war is principally to be traced, tilrn who thus con-
tied themselves with ravage commiiiiiiies, anal stimulate
them to war, which is always attended on their part with
acts of heroes-0y the most shocking, deserve to be viewed
in a worre light than the savazes. They would certainly
have no claim loan immunity from the penishments which,
according to the roles of warfare practiwal by the savages,
might justly be iuflictril on the savages themselves
If the embarrassments of Spain preeente.l her from tusk-
ing an indemnity to our citizens, for sn long a time, front
her t l y, for their losses by spoliation, and otherwise, it
was always to err power to bate provided it, by thecersion
of this territory. Of this, her GO 111111111 l had been repeat-

porsl, as Spate insist have haunt Is that, in ceding it, she
would in effect cede what had become of little value to her,
sisal would likewi+e relieve beech from the important oh.
ligation secuied by the Tseatyuf 17115, and all other compro.

deratioo of these emh. .iniciits, declined prysing their
claims in a spirit of hostility, ihe 'molt e ought at least to
have twin duly •ppi cc-laird by the Govrionitut of Steno. It
is well known to her Goeyinnent that other Powers have
made to the Vaned Stales an indemnity fur like leases, sus.

There is, nevertheless, a 111114 twyIIIIII which thi• spirit

Assn the document,. relating to this oceurreiire will be laid

detail respecting It.
Althungh the reasons which induced Major-General Jack-
son to take these posts were doily appreciated, these was, no-
rel heirs., no hesitation iu deciding MI the course which it
became the Government to pursue. As there was reason to
hehteva that the commanders of these posts had violated their
instructions, there was um diSpOliillllll to 11111/11IC to their (o-
vernment a conduct so unprovoked sod hostile. An order
was us CSIIIKIIIICIICe ironed to the General in rommand there,
to deliver the posts—Pensacola, uncouilitirmally„ Soso) per.

restitution of the posts, those eclat 1111 l s were preserved. To a
change of them, the power 'bribe Executive is deemed locum-
to tent. it is vested in Cuogress only. Ry this measure, so
promptly taken, due respect was shewn to the Government
of Spain. The misconduct of her Officers has not been
puffed to her. She was enabled to review with candour her
relations with the United States, and her own situation, par-
ticularly in respect to the territory ill question, with the
dangers inseparable from it; and .rrgarding the Tsars we
have siostsined, for which indeonnitc has heen so, long with-
held, and the injuries we have suffered thorough that terri-
tory, and her means of redress, she was likewise enabled to
take, with honour, the rouese hest cab-filmed to do justice
to the United Sinks, and to promote her UWII welfare.

The civil war, which WS so lung prerailed between Spain
and the Provinces of South America, still continues without
any prospect of its speedy termination. 'rite information re-
specting the condition of those countries, which has been
collected by the Commissioners, recently returned from
thence, will be laid before Congress, in copies of their Re-
ports, with such other information as has been received
from other agents of the United States.
It appears from these communication% that the Govern-
ment of Buenos Ayres deckled itself iiidepentlent in July,
1816, having previously exercised the plower of au indepen.
dent Government, though in the name of the King of Spain,
(non the year 18111: that the Itamla Or.eiital, Entre Reos,
and Paraguay, with the city of Sauk Fe, all of which are
also independent, are unconnected with the present Govern-

pendent, and is closely connected with Buetios Ayres: that
Venezuela has also declared itself independent, and nun
Inimitable the conflict with various success; sod that the
grumbling parts of South America, except Monte Video, and
such other portions of the eastern bank of the La Plata as
are held by Portugal, err still iu the possession of Slant, or
in a certain degree under lire iuflueoce.
By a circular note addressed by the Ministers of Spain to
the Allied Powers with whom they tire respectively ac-
credited, it appears that the Attire hare midertakeu to
mediate between Spain and the South American Provinces,
and that the manner and extent of their interposition would
be settled by a Congress, which was ha have met at Aix.le-
Chapelle io September last. From the general policy and
course of proceeding I .h.t.rved by the Allied Powers in regard
to this contest, it is inferred that they will confiiie their inter-
position t• the expression of Or ir sentiments; abstaining
from the application of force. 1 state this impression, that
force will not be applied, wills the greater satisfaction,
because it is a course more consistent with justice, and like-
wise authorises s hope that the calamities of war will be con- '
tined to the parties only, and will be of shorter duration.
From the view taken of this subject, founded on all the
I information that we have been stile to ohlion, there is gaud
cause to be satisfied with liar rotirce heretufore pursued by
thr United States in regard to tools contest, and to rum.
elude that it is proper to truth,.,• to it, especially iii toe
st•ite of affairs.
I have crent satisfaction in ding, that our relations
with France, Russia, and other Powers, continue on the
must friendly bask.
la our domestic ((metros we have ample cause of stair
faction. The receipts into the Treasury, rholat the three
foss quarters of the year, Ilse*• ntret ded 12,000,090 of dollars.
Atter satisfying ill the demands whirls liner been wade
under existing •ppropeistions, toeluding the hurl extinction
of the old sox per e, nt. stock, and the red, itiptinn of •
moiety of the tA/UlSialli debt, It Is 11111111/116,1 That these will
remain in the Treasury, on the I at day of Jauuso y wet, more
than 2,000,000 of dollars.
It is ascertained that the gross I'VVelllle which has accrued
. from the customs during the Paine period, amounts to
21,000,000 of dollars, sod that the revenue of the whole year
may be emtionsted at not 1.-in than 2d.000,000. Tlars.ir of
the public lands rtn, sag the year has also greatly exceeded,
both in quantity and price, that of any former year ; and
there is just reason to expect a progressiye improvemeut
in that ',titter of revenue.

It has been necessary, during the present year, to main.
Lain a strong naval force in the 4editerraueata, and in the
