the following Message :
•
Fellow Citizens of the Senate,
and of the House of Representatives,
The view which I have now to present to you of oar
affairs, foreign and domestic, realizes the most san-
guine anticipations which have been entertained. of the
public prosperity. If we look to the whole, our growth
as a nation continues to be rapid beyond example: if
to the States which compose it, the same gratifying
spectacle is Rxhibited. Our expansion over the vast
territory within our limits, has been great, without in-
dicating any decline in those sections from which the
emigration has been most conspicupus. We have daily
gained strengthrby a native popttlation in every quar-
ter: a population devoted to our happy system of Go-
nrernment, and cherishing the bond of Union with fra-
tetnal affection. Experience has already sheen, that
the difference of climate, and of industry, proceeding
from that cause, inseparable from such vast domain:,
and which, under other systems, might hare a
repulsive tendency, cannot fail to produce with us,
under wise regulations, the opposite effect. What
one portion wants, the other may supply, and this
will be most sensibly felt by the parts most distant
from each other, forming thereby a domestic market,
and an active intercourse between the extiemes, and
throughout every portion of our Union. Thus, by a
happy distribution of power between the National and
State Governments; Governments which rest, exclu-
'sively, on the sovereignty of the People, and are fully
adequate to the great purposes for which they were
respectively instituted, causes which otherwise lead to
dismemberment, operate powerfully to draw us closer
together. In every other circumstance, a correct view
of the actual state of our Union, must be equally paa.
tifying to our constituents. Our relations with foreign
Powers are of a friendly character, although certain
interesting differences remain unsettled with ssnie. Our
revenue, under the mild system of impost and tonnage,
continues to be adequate to all the put poses of the Go-
vernment. Our agriculture, commerce, manufacture%
and navigation flOuriJi. Our fortifications are advanc-
ing in the degree authotited by existing appropria-
tions, to maturity; and due progress is made in the
augmentation of the Navy, to the limit prescribed for it
by law. For these blessings, we owe to ALMIGHTY GOD,
from whom we derive them,an.l with profound reverence,.
our most grateful and unceasing acknowledgments.
In -adverting to our relations with foreign Powers,.
which are always an object of the highest importance,
I have to remark, that of the subjects which have been
•brought into discussion with them, during the present-'
Administration, some have been satisfactorily termi-
nated; others have been suspende,S, to be resumed
hereafter, under circumstances more favourable to suc-
cess; and others arc still in negociation, with the hope
that they may be adjusted, with mutual accommoda
tion, to the interest and satisfaction of the respective
parties. It has.been the invariable object of this Go-
vernment to cherish the most friendly relations said)
every Power, and on principles and conditions which_
might make them permanent. A systematic effort has
bean made to place our commerce, with each Power,
on a footing of perfect reciprocity ; to settle with each
in a spirit of candour and liberality, and to anticipate
and remove, so far as it might he practicable, all causes
of future variance.
11 It having been stipulated, by the seventh article of
the Convention of Navigation and Commerce, which
was concluded oh the 24th of June, 1822, between the
United States and France, that the said Convention
should continue in force for two years from the first of
lOctober of that year, and for an indefinite term after-
wards, unless one of the parties should declare its
lintention to renounce it, in which event it should cease
to operate at the end of sii months from such declare-
tion : and no such intention having been announced, the
Convention having been found advantageous to both
parties, it has since remained, .and still remains in full
force. At the time when that Convention was cons •
anted, many interesting subjects were left unsettled,
and particularly our claims to indemnity for spoliations
which were committed on our commerce in the late
wars. For these interest and claims, it was in the con.
tensplation of the parties to make provisions at a sub- •
sequent day, by a mote comprehensive and definitive
treaty. The objects has been duly attended to since,
by the Executive, but as yet it has not been accom•
plished. It is hoped *that a favour able opportunity will
present itself for opening a negociation, which may
embrace and arrange 41 existing differences, and every
other concern in which they have a common intere-t,
upon the accession of the present King of France, an
event which has occurred since the close of the last Sts.

sion of Congress.
With Great Britain our commercial interccurse rests on
the same footing that it did at the last Session. By the con-
vention of 1816, the commerce between the United States
and the British dominions, in Europe and the East •
Indies, were arranged on -a principle of reciprocity.
That convention was cearmed and continued in force,
with slight exceptions, by a .übsequent treaty, for the
term of ten years, from the 20th of October, 1818, the
date of the latter. The trade with the British Colonies in
the West Indies, has not, as yet, been arranged, by treaty'.
or otherwise, to our satisfaction. An approach to that
result has been made by legislative acts, whereby mail
serious impediments, which bad been raised by the par.
ties, in defence of their respective claims, were removeu.
An earnest desire exists,' awl has been manifested, 'en
the part of this Government, to place tha commerce
with the Colonies likewise on a footing of reciptbeni
advantage, and it is hoped, that the British Government;
seeing the justice of the proposal, and its isiwortanceto
the Colonies, wilh ere long, accede to it.
