LONDON,
FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1823.

We have ireceived American Papers of the •Ith'
December, containing the PRESIDENT'S igESSAOft
on the opening of the Session of Congress on iht
preceding day. The following is a correct 3b'
stract of this important document :
THE PRESIDENT'S. MESSAGE.
-" Fellow Citizens of the Senate and House of
Representatives,
ht 'Many causes unite to make your present
ts. g
Thepeculiarly
operations
of
interesting
our
latows on va
our
sti
ments which they occasionally require, ime
annually-an important duty on the Represents'
lives of a free People ; other causes exist 'which
are highly interesting to the whole civcivilize'!world, and to no portion of it more so than tot)"
United States. On the 9- ith of June last a CO.
vention of Navigation and Commerce. was coir•
eluded in this city between the United St.3tet
and France, by Ministers duly authorised for tbe.'
purpose. The sanction of the Executive havi'l
been given to this Convention, under a ow..
victim), that, taking all its stipulations itli7.
corni
subjects to which they apply, with the amend.,
inen
view, it rested essentially on a basis ‘l.f:
' reciprocal and equal advantage, an Act I°,
impose a new tonnage duty on French AO':
and vessels, and for other purposes, ails" I°'
suspend likewise all other duties on French ler
sels, o'r the goods imported in them, 1 shalt
submit this Convention forthwith to the Sensit
for its advice. Since your last session, the pre
hibition which had been imposed on the COG'
merce between the United States and the Briti'4
Colonies in the West Indies, and on this Co"ti..:
neat, has likewise • been removed, satisfacti
evidence having been adduced that the ports
these Colonies had been opened to the Unit(
• A
States, by an Act of the British Parliament.
doubt was entertained whether the Act of C'iv
gross applied to the British Colonies on this C'
tinent, as well as to those of the West Indies; but t‘
the Act of Parliament agreed to the intercOur'e
equally with both, and it was the manifest intretli l
of Congress, as well as the obvious policy Of tii
United States, that the provisions of the Act::
Parliament should be met in equal exteet',o
or
'the part of the United States. I thought it ad.
,
visable to give a corresponding constructiufir
should the constitutional sanction of the se°,„
be given to the ratification of the C°llve!li
tion with France, legislative provisions
be necessary to carry it fully into effect'
T 4 decision of his Majesty the Emperor or 01s,
,
sia, on the question submitted to him iv
United States and Great Britain, concerning tof
constluction of the first article of the Treat'
Ghent,
.has been received. A Convention hi
s
42t
since been concluded between the parties, 00
sit
the mediation of his Imperial Majesty, I 61',.0
submit this Convention to the Senate for its ail/
and consent as to the ratification. In complie 0
with an Act of the last Session, a Territorial 4-06
vernmeut has been established in Florida ue
principle of our system. By this Act the •isr
tants are secured in full enjoyment of their rigcce
The receipts into the Treasury during the th
first quarter years have exceeded the sus"
't
fourteen millions seven hundred and fortf'"

housand dollars. The payments made at the
treasury during the same period has exceeded
welve millions two hundred and seventy-nine
,housand dollars, which were in the Trea-
airy on the first day of January last, a sum
exceeding four millions one hundred and
twenty-eight thousand dollars. Besides dis-
charging all demands for the current ser-
vice of the year, including the interest and re-
imbursemement of the Public Debt, the six
per cent. Stock of 1796, amounting to 80,000
dollars, has been redeemed. It is— with great
regret I have to state that a serious malady has
deprived us of many valuable citizens at Pensa-
cola, and checked the progress of some of those
arrangements which are important in that ter-
ritory. From the best information I have been
able to obtain, it appears that our Manufactures,
though depressed immediately after the peace,
have considerably. increased, and are still in-
creasing, under the arrangement of the Tariff of
1816 ; and by subsequent laws, it appears that
our commercial differences with France and
Great Britain have been placed in a train of
amicable arrangement, on conditions fair and
honourable in both instances to eac'.‘ party ; that
our finances are in a very productive state, our
revenue being fully competent to all the de.
rnands upon it, and 'our military force well
organized in all its branches, and capable of ren-
dering the most important services in case of
emergency. A strong hope was entertained that
peace would ere this have been concluded between
Spain and the independent Governments south
of the United States, we still cherish the hope
that this result will not long be postponed.--
Furope• is still unsettled ; and although war has
long been menaced between ltus..ia and Tur-
key, it has not broken out. There is no certainty
that the differences between those Powers will
be amicably adjusted.
" Washington, Dec. 3. " JAMES MONROE."

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.]
STOCK EXCHANGE, Half-past Twelve o'Clock.—
Very little business is doing this morning in the
above Market, owing to the French Funds not
having arrived from Paris, in consequence of
Wednesday last being a Holiday in the above
Capital. Consols are 80!:-„7-.

FOREIGN FUNDS.—The most business doing
this morning is in Colombia, owing to the new
Charge d'Affaires having arrived in London.—
The above Stock rose this morning to 5 per cent.

We have inserted, under the head
," Foreign
Intelligence," an article from the Journal des'
Dibats, which, if it could be received as official,
after.the recent instances of inconsistency and
self-contradiction exhibited by • many of the
Ministerial Papers both in Paris and in London,
would be of much importance, as indicating a dis-
position in the French Cabinet to return to a
Nvarlike policy. But though we cannot place im-
plicit reliance on the' Journal des Dttats, we are
sorry to state that in other quarters the apprehen-
sion 'of hostilities between France and Spain has
not entirely subsided. The check, however,
which was given to the headlong impetuosity of
the Ultras by ttie interposition of England, and
the firmness of the pacific Louis XVIII., has
suffered the winter, to set in before the com-
mencement of any military enterprize ; and we
hope that on the assembling of the French Cham-
bers it may be found that pacific views have re.
gained the ascendancy.--The ferocious Govern-
ment of Turkey has decapitated all the Captains
of the Turkish fleet who escaped destruction
from the Greeks at Tenedos.
