The arrival of the China brings us important
news from the 'United States, includine, the PRESI-
DENT'S Message
and the meeting of the Congress.
The Speech and the Assembly have alike been
looked for with interest and expectation in this
country as well as in America itself, and both have
realised the conjectures formed respecting them,
the Message of the PRESIDENT being as quiet and
conciliatory as the opening of the new session was
animated and exciting. The previous career of the
PRESIDENT since his sudden accession to the highest
office of the State has given encouragement to
moderate politicians to believe that the policy indi-
cated in the Message would be that best adapted
to restore the fortunes of America, and to preserve
the peace of both hemispheres. There were diffi-
culties enough to deal with to alarm any statesman
but President JOHNSON is not a man who lacks
courage. The reduction of the war establishment,
both past and prospective, gi'res good earnest that
he has no anxiety to plunge the country into
another
war, for whicU indeed its finances are verx ill pre-
