This forenoon we received United States Papers to
the 7th nit. bringing the Speech of the PRESIDENT of
the United States, et the openi4 of the Congress
on the Sd.ult.. This Speech,,of which we subjoin
a full abstract, takes a comprehensive view of
the internal state, and foreign relations, of

the United States, all of which, it will be seen
are highly favourable to the growing prospe-
rity of that flourishing country.. Domestic Ma-
nufactures have increased, and are increasing,
ander the beneficial regulations of the Tariff
of 1816. New Commercial Treaties with France and
England are iu progress, on terms honourable to all
the parties. The Finances are productive, the Re-
venue fully competent to all the demands upon it ;
and the Military force is well organized, and capable
of great services, should they be wanted. Such is
the situation of the United' States. The PRESIDENT
makes little allusion to the Independent States of
South America, but expresses, a hope that Spain will
loon recognize them.
These Papers bring intelligence from the Brazils
of a recent date.
Captain BURNHAM, who arrived at Boston from
Monte Video and Bahia, reports, that when he left
the latter place, October 23, the town was closely
besieged by the Brazilian forces, who were bombard,
ing it with red hot shot.
The following is the Speech of the PRESIDENT :
" Fellow Citizens of the Senate and House of
Representatives.
"Many causes unite to make your present meeting
peculiarly interesting to our constituents ; the opera-
tion of our laws, on various subjects to which they ap-
ply, with the amendments which they occasionally re-
quire, imposes annually an important duty on the
Representatives of a free people ; other causes exist
which are highly interesting to the whole civilized
world, and to no portion of it more so than the
United States.
u On the 24th June last, a Convention of Naviga.
,tion and Commerce was concluded in this city between
the United States and France, by Ministers duly au-
thorized for the purpose.
41 The sanction of the Executive has been given
to this Convention, under a conviction that, taking
all its stipulations into view, it rested essentially on a
basis of reciprocal and, equal advantage—an Act to 'I
impose a new tonnage duty on French ships and ves-
sels, and for other purposes, and to suspend likewise
all other' duties on French vessels, or the goods im-
ported in them. I shall submit this Convention forth-
with to the Senate for its, advice..
" Since your last Session, the prohibition which
had been imposed on the commerce between the
United Suites and the British Colonies in the West
Indies, and on this Continent, has likewise been re-
moved. Satisfactory evidence having been adduced
that the ports of these Colonies bad been opened to
the United States by an Act of the British, Parlia•
ment, a doubt was entertained whether the Act of
Congress applied to the British Colonies on this Con-
tinent as well as to those 'of the West Indies ; but as
the Act of Parliament opened the intercourse equally
with both, and, as. it was the manifest intention of
Congress as well as the obvious policy of the United
States, that the provisions of the Act of Parliament
should be met in equal extent on the part of the
United States, I thought it advisable to give a cor-
responding construction : should the constitutional
sanction of the Senate be given to tale ratification of
the Convention with France, legislative provision
will be necessary to carry it fully into effect.
" The decision of his Majesty the Emperor of
Russia, on the question submitted to him by the
United States and Great Britain, concerning the con-
struction of the, fir:t Article of the Treaty of Ghent,
has been received. A Convention has since been con-
cluded between the parties, under the mediation of
his Imperial Majesty. 1 shall submit this Convention
to the Senate, for its advice and consent as to the
ratification.
u In compliance with an Act of the last Session, a
stemitorial Government has been established in Flo•
-
14 la, on the principle of our system. By this Act
.
the tugAitairts are secured in the full enjoyment of
