Liught tle 'people, by means of an experience of
ages traced in characters of, blood, in the short
space of 25 years of disasters, what arc the um-
usovable limits beyond Which they would vainly
teek glory and happiness.
Such being the-moral situation in which the
States are placed, and upon which their new po-
Utical relati6o are grounded, how can it be sup-
posed that they can have the *ill or, even the
poWer to overturn them, with a view to!establisb
others) to become conquerors, to disturb the order
. of thittgs which they have laboured to create and
to consolidate ?
barriers equally insurmountable oppose
all ambition directed to this object. The first is
that of honour attached to the faith of treaties.
The second is that resulting trout the united
strength of all the States which 4hocild hot have
'concurred iu the senseless plans of the aggressing
Government. Perhaps it might be disposed to
doubt the union of their force. The identity of
'uterust would render it inevitable. And this
. interest is, the preservation of the peace to ne-
, cessary for Government to assure their rights, and
remedy the exhaustion of their resources—for na-
tions to give stability to their institotions, and to
efface the deep traces of their calamities.
According to this faithful sketch of the state of
• things, there is no reason to doubt that the sacred-
imss of treaties, bonnet., and the very certainty of
, speedy and siguol success, would produce, 111 case
of any iofraction of. the established order, that
simultaneous ninon of force, the mere sight of
which would be sufficient to. paralyze all the pia-
. jeets hostile to peace.
In this display of the protectinr, strength 'of
peace cousists the general alliance of the States of
If',urope. It is consecrated by existing Treaties,
by the moral situation of the contracting patties,
by tile very nature. of their legitimate ieterests,
bound to one another by means of their fusion into,
one single, positive, and universal code of late.
On the contrary, Amy alliance springing front
fear or ambitious views is not even practicable.
It would be, in coetradietion with the spirit of the
age, with the faith of treaties, end as invalid in
its essence as it, its effects.
To resider this truth more palpable, let us not
hesitate to examine that hypothetical 'inhume in
every point of view that it can present to the ob-
server.

Considered as a defensive medium, it can never
be so efficacious kt s it general alliance, which has
, helm formed spontaneously, as it were, among all
States.
It it be viewed, as an offensive medium, it is
clear that tt cannot produce a condeinatinn of
. strength capable of sustaining a struggle with,
end of conquering the States that would enter the
lists with it, accomphied with the good wishes
of all nations and the bleesings of Heaven.
The one would fight for the purpose of retitle.
ing the not Id again wider the yoke of the stronger,
tinder the influence of his bad faith and immorality,
The other to maintain the sacred inviolability of
Abu most 110411111 engagements. •
To the triumph at the hitter alliance then wouto
he attached the independeuce of States and the
.prosperity of Nations. The experience of the past
, fur the one, the.instinct of well-being for the
other, would strengthen in every case a cause so
sacred to such a degree as to make it invincible.
• After having given to these observations the
character of evidence, it is of consequence not to
. omit here one of the' essential advantages of the
ay6lVlll of coheskon of interests, and, reciprocity
of duties, which now prevails in Etirope, and
tebiels is not the work of the will of man, but,.
, on the other hand, the effect of events !nought
about by. Divine Providence. It is this :---the
great Powers: exercises it is true, a 'certain pre-
ponderance over the States of the second and

It 'is not exercised otherwise then collectively,

,Jt is not of
nature to augment the power of the strong, and
to diminish the independence of the weAk

ther can it become so, because this kind of

New York Papers to the 20th March, and
Boston to the lOth, arrival this tutirning. One
of the latter contains cue or to.:
sident on taking the oaths and entering upon his
office, which ceremony took place on the 4th ult.
at Washington, in the presence of the Judges,
Senators, &c. and five or six thousand of the
People. For this long inaugural speech we, have
not room to-day, and content ourselves with se-
lecting its most prominent paragraphs. After an
exordium of a personal nature, the President says,
" Prom the commencement of 'our Revolution
to the present clay, almost forty years,have elapsed,
and from the establishment Of this Constitution,
twenty-eight. Through this whole term the Go-
vernment has been, what may emphatically be
called, self-government ; and what bas been the
effect ? T. whatever object we twit our atten-
tion, whether it relates to our foreign or domes.
•
tic concerns, we find abundant Cause to felicitate
ourselves in the excellence of our institutions.---
During a period fraught .with difficulties, and
tnatked by very extraordinary events, the United
states have flourished beyind example. Their
citizens, individually, have been happy, and the
Nation lwospe Eons
Under this Constitution,.bur commerce has
been wisely regulated with foreign nations, and
between the States ; new States have been ad-
mitted into our Union ; our territory has been en.
larged by fair and honourable Treaty, and with
great; advantage to the original States ; the States,
respectively, protected by a national Government,
tinder a mild parental system,' against foreign
dangers, and enjoying within their separate
spheres, by n wise partition of power,,,a just pro-
portion of the'Sovereignty, have improved their
Police, extended their settlements, and attained a
strength and maturity, which are the best.procii
of wholesome laws, well administered."

The Speaker then takes an equally flattering
view of America with regard to external re-
lations : •

" Such, then, is the happy Government limier
which we live ; a Government adequate to every
purpose for which the social compact is formed ;
a Government tlective in all its branches; under
which every citizen may, by his merit, obtain the
highest trust recognised by the Constitution;
which Contains within it no cause of discord ;
none to put at variance one portion of the com-
munity with another ; a Government which pro.
tees every citizim in the full enjoyment of his

- • " Other-considerations of the highest iniport-
mice admonish us to cherish our union, anti to
cling to the Government which supports it. ror-
Innate aS*We are, in our political institutions, we
have not been less so in other circumstances, on
which our prosperity and happiness essentially
depend. Situated within the temperate zone, and
extending through many degrees of latitude along
the Atlantic, the United States enjoy all the va-
rieties of climate,, and every production incident
to that portion of the globe. Penetrating, in-
ternally, to the great lakes, and beyond the sources
of the great rivers which communicate through
otir whole interfor, no country teas ever happier
with respect to its domain. Blessed too with a
fertile soil, our produce has 'always been very
abundant, leaving, even in years the least fa-
vourable, a surplus for the wants of our fellow
men, in other countries. Such is our peculiar
felicity, that there is not a part of our union that
is not particularly interested in preserving
The great 'agricultural interest of the nation pros-
pers under its protection. Local interests are not
less fostered by it. :Our fellow. citizens of the
North, engaged in.navigation, find great encou-
ragethent in being made the favoured carriers of
the vast productions of the other portions of the
United States, while the inhabitantsp of. these are.
amply recompensed; in their turn, by the nursery
for seamen and , naval force, thus formed and
reared up for the support of our common rights,
Our mantlfactnres find a genermis encouragement
by, the policy which patronizes domestic industry
and the surplus of our produce, a steady and pro-.
fitable market by loCal .wants, in less favoured
parts, at home."

The President recommends steady attachment
to the Government :

" It is only when the people become ignorant
and corrupt; when they degenerate into a pope.
lace, that they are incapable of exercising the
sovereignty. Usurpation is then an easy attain-
ment, and an usurper .soon found. The people
themselVes become the willing instruments of their
own abasement and ruin. Let us then look to the
great cause and endeavour to preserve it in full
force. Let us, by all wise and constitutional
measures, promote intelligence among the people,
as the best means of preserving our liberties."
Again, adverting to Foreign relations, he says,
should any differences arise, '' we must support
our rights or lose our character, and with it per-
haps our liberties. A people who fail to do it,

pendent nations. National honour •is national
property of the highest value. The sentiment in
the mind of every citizen, is national strength. It
ought therefore to be cherished.

" To secure us against these dangers, our coast
and inland frontiers should be fortified ; our Army
and Navy, regulated upon just principles as to the
force of each, be kept in perfect order, and our
Militia be placed on the' best practicable footing.
To put our extensive coast in such a state of de-
fence, as to secure our cities,and interior from in•
vasion, will be attended with expence, but the work
when finished will be permanent, and it is fair topre
slime that a single campaign of invasion by a naval
force superior to our own, aided by a few thousand
land troops, 'would expose us to greaterexpence,
without taking into the estimate the loss of pro
perty, and distress of our, citizens, than would
be sufficient for this great work. Our land and
naval forces should be moderate, but adequate to
the necessary purposes. The former.to garrison
and preserve our fortifications, and to,meet the
first invasions of a foreign foe ; and while con-
stituting the elements of ,a greater foree, to pre-
serve the science, as %yell as all the necessary im-
plements of %var, in a state to be brought into
activity in the event of war. The latter re-
tained within the limits proper in a state 'of
pe-see, might aid in -Maintaining the neutrality
of the United States with dignity in the wars
of other. Powers, and in saving the property
of their citizens from spoliation. In time of war,
with the enlargement of which the great naval re-
sources of the country render it seisceptible, and
which should be duly' fostered in time of peace, it
would contribute essentially both as' an auxiliary
of defence, and as a powerful engine of annoy-
ance, to diminish the calamities of war, and to
bring the war to a speedy and honourable termi-
nation; But it ought always .to be held promi-
nently in. view, that the safety of, these States, and
of every thing dear to a free people, must depend
in an eminent degree on the.Millitia."
hie enlarges on the advantages of this species
of force, and recommends making roads and ca-
nals for facilitating interior communications. On
the subject of Manufactures, the oration is more
interesting ;. it goes
