COPY OF THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE► TO CONGRESS

'Makin into view the mutuAl 'interest which
the United States, and the foreign nations in amity
with ti:cm, have in a coalmen:jai intercourse, and
the extensive changcs layoura!de thereto, which
have recently taken place; taking 'into view also
the important advantages 'which may otherwise
result from adapting the state,of our commercial
law to the circumstances now, existing, I re-
commend to the consideration of Congress the
expediency of authorising,/ after a certain day,
exhortations (specie excepted) from' the United
States, in vessels of the Uhited States; and in ves-
sels owned and navigated by the. subjects of
Powers at peace with them ; and a repeal of so
nnich of Inn- laws as priliiibits•the importation Of
articles not the property of enemies, but pro-
duced or mantifactured uhly within their d'oL
minions.

‘`. I recommend also, as'a more effectual safe-
guard and encouragement of our growing manufac-
tures, that the additional duties of impoil.s, ‘vhich
are to expire at the end of one year after a 'peace
w:.th' Great Britain, be prolonged to- the end' of
two Years after that event ; and that, in favour of
our mitnied institutions, the e-xportation,of speeie'
be prohil)itcd throughout the same period.-

[Among the' reports brought from Americi by
the Chauncey, but to which we attach littlle cre-
dit, one was, that on the sth ult..a proposal was
received at I'Vashigton from General Prevost, for
an armistice by land; to which the American Go-
vernment replied, that they would agree, provided
the armistice was extended to sea and land. We
the rattler doubt of any such proposition having
come front the British Commander on shore, be-
cause we are well assured that the Naval Com--
mander-in-,Chiel, Sir Alexander Cochrane, has re-
ceived instructions to cuter into no Negociation
of any kind_with the Atnerican, .but on condi-
tion of the -previous -releac of all our Officers,
whom they detain under the frivolous pretence of
their being hostages.]
