most deeply felt and acknowledged.. Th magnifieenc I
and splendour of their public works ate among the.
imperishable glories of the ancient republic'. The road-
and aqueducts of Rome have been the admiration of
all after ages, and have survived thousands of )ears
alter all her conquests have been swallowed tip in des-
potism, or become the sr it barbarians. Some
diversity of opinion has pervaded with regard to the
powers of Cong. ess for legislation upon objects of thi
nal ure. The most respectful de' ert nce is due to doubt',
originating in pure patriotism. and sustained by, nerated
authority. But emir. y '2O yea, s have passed since ti.e con-
struction of the first nit; ional road was commenced.
The a'iihority for its construction was then questioned.
To how many thousands of one country has it proved
a be-efit ? To what single individual has it ever proved
an injury ? Repeated liberal and candid discussions in
the Legislature have conciliated the sentiments and ap-
proximated the opinions of enlightened minds, upon the
qiiestion of Constitutional power. 1 cannot but hope
that, by.the same process of friendly, patient, and per.
sevet ing delibe, a ion, all Constitutional ohjeitions will
ultimately be removed. The extent and limitation of
the powers of the general Government, in relation to
this transc, ndenily important in esev, will be settled
and acknowledged to the common satisfaction of all
and every speculative scruple will be solved by a prat.
tical peib.ic blessing.
Fedora-citizens, you are acquainted with the pecu-
liar i it cumstances of the recent election, which have re-
su:ted in aff nding me the opportunity of addressing) ou
at this time. You have heard the expo-i ion of the
principles which will direct me in the fulfilment of the
high ' and solemn trust impsed upon nie in this
station. Less possessed a your confidence, i t ad-
vance, than any of my predeces-ors, I ate eeeply
nsci us of the prospect th t I shall stand mere
4nd I ftener in need .9 your peat indulgence.—
Int-ntions. uptight and pule; a heart devr ted to the
welfare of our country, and the unceasing application
of ad the facul'ies allotted to me to her service, are alt

the 'sledges mat 1 can give for the faithful performance
of the ardnotts du ies I am to undertake. To the
gu•dance of the councils; to the as is•ance
ot the executive and subordinate departmen.s ; to the
friendly co.operax on of the respective State G met ti-
ine,sts ; to the candid and liberal support ot the people,
so fat as it may to deserved by ho est industry and
zeal, 1 shall look f r whatever sec -ess may attend my
public set.% ice. And knowirg that, exc pt t e Loan
keep the city, the watchman waketh but w vain, with
fervent supplications for his fawn', to his overt uling
PROVIDENCE 1 commit with humble but tearless con-
fidence, my own fate, and the future destinies ot m)
country."

which ti ey so:icit his Maks!), to send, as England has
done, Consuls to South Amet Ica, and to make Treat es
of Commerce with all those nations to which the

and that all the Chambers of Commerce in the King-

" SIRE—The Merchants of Paris will never forget
the memorable words pronounced by your Majesty
when you lately came to visit the monumental edifice
which is cons cra ed to commetce. They explain the
confidence which brings us to the foot of the Throne—
they dictate the teque-1 which we ventute to make.
" Sire. immense countries in An erica, which Spain
alone formerly suppli d, have orened their ports to all
the odor n tionc of the globe. trance, which holds so
high a rank as a commercial and manufacturing nation,
naturally slwuld participate in these new relations, so

policy, its marine, its succour, and its treaties, endea-
vours to login the closet ties wish America, it is only
at long intervals that a French frigate is seen in its

Consuls to [tweet them. Yet the French merchants
are not inactive, and it their interest in these-new re-
lations is not what it might be, it still merits the at-
tention of the Government, and the powerful support
f your Majesty.
~The moment is besides come, when urgent con-
siderations threaten thee relations with total in et-

much reserve and ti.: idity, as England stews pub-
licity and pride in protec ing hers.
44 Bosirdeasix and Havre alone sent fifty ships to
these parts of America last year, laden with French
produce and manufactures, to the value of twenty-five
millions, besides sixty ships from the same ports to
Cuba and Brasil, whereas two hundred ships for Mar-
tinique, Guadalupe, Newfoundland, Cayenne, Senegal,
and Pondicherry, have not exported half the value.
"Ai our age cultural produce and manufactures
suit America. Those of Parisian manufactute, in par-

Majesty, whis,e Royal soul cannot but be powerfully
moved by the great interests of France, has already
comprehended our wishes. Yes, Sire. we supplicate
your Majesty to order that official agents, in all
rerpects worthy of so important a mission, be sent
berever the French commerce can penetrate, and
particularly to the' American Continent, to regulate and
protect its relations, that the vessels of the State may
follow• its ships; lastly, that Treaties of Commerce may
stipulate for its interests all the securities and advan-
tages which a 'peat nation can have a right to. It is
by such dispositions, Sire, that in this great sodiar
movement, which draws all nations nearer' togethety,
which multiplies their relations, and increases limit
happiness, France, governed by your Majesty, will
maintain herself in the first rank of the most civilise,'
nations of the world.

We have received German Papers to the 7th instal:
They contain a report that Patras is on the eve
falling, and that lattAntm PAC HA, after some engag
ments off Rho Jes, bad unexpectedly steered his coor
to Alexandria.
Letters from the Peloponnesus say, that the Grel
Peninsula is overrun with English agents, and that tl
Greeks are confident of the support of Englan
The English considered the Greek revolution as con
pleted, and did not hesitate to assist the Greeks
large sums of money.

By the arrival of a Brazil Mail this morning, we b
received a file of the Rio de Janeiro Papers, from
10th to the 31st of January inclusive. They contain
servile and intolerant address from the Chapter of Mon
Video, praying that the Province may be governed b
an Absolute Power, and evidently deprecating t
toleration of any religion but their own. The Emma°
in his answer, refers to the Constitution, which he
sworn to maintain, and declares that " it is only with,
a Constitution that he desires to govern." 'The folk"
ing are extracts :-
