At three o'clock the House of Assembly met pnrsnant
to the tinvernor's Pro.l4mition, when his Grace was pleas•
ed to delire! the followint speech :

" It is very satisfactory to me that nothing has rendered
it necessary to call you together sooner than I have been
accustomed, and I am confi.lent that you will now apply
yourselves to the discharge of your pnbiic duty. I hare
ono subject to recommend to yonr particular considdration,
'careful revision of the Consolidated Slave Law. Haws-
ing from long experience, the disposition you have
constantly 'hewn to improve the condition of the Slave
p Tulation, 1 am persraded that the same liberality of
sentiment which bas already conferred upon them so ;
many important benefits, will suggest to you and, further
means of prolow,ing their comfort and moral improvement,
as may seem best adapted to the state of society, on which
they are to operate—strengthening that dutiful attach-
ment, with which they look up to you as ;their natural
protectors. 1 atn more earnest in pressing this suhket,
as in all, parts of the civilized world there exists the

The Message of the American President at the opening,
of the Congress on the Ist inst. the sequel of which ere have
given in our paper to day, appears to us a perfect specimen
of what ought to be the address of the Ruler of a free
conotry, to the people, upon the state of theit affairs. It
contains the most perfect exposition of the proceemlin4s of
Goveroment in every department of its functions; it states
most explicitly the principles upon which time Government
has proceeded in every transaction of importance, either
domestic or foreign—and it lays open to public view the
state and condition of the revenue; inn* instance express.
ing any thing so equivocally that the public mind can remain
lin doubt, or be apprehensive of any of the hopes which the
President has excited being destroyed by future ter, iverse

comment ; and we have, thereforeonly to point out to our
readers a few of its characteristic or important points.

nes.ed a sanguinary war to suppress this very prin.
ciple, as, not only dangerous to, but absolutely inconsistent
with the prosperity and even existence of any state. Sow,
that a state may floarish, and beyond all precedent—
upon this principle, we have only to rehr to a paragraph
in the President's message.

" The actual condition of the public finances more than
realile the favourable anticipations that were eater•
taint(' of it at the opening of the last session
of Congress. Os the let of January, there was a balance
in the Treasury of 4,237,427 dollars and 35 rents.—
From that time to the 30th of September the receipts
amounted to upwards of 16,100,000 dollars, and the expen•
ditures to 11,400,000 dollars. During the fourth quarter
of the year, it is estimated that the receipts will, at least,
equal the expenditures ; and that there will remain in the
Treasury, on the lot day of January next, a surplus of
yearly 9,000,000 dollars."
But the President's message is in all respects so impor•
tent In the present crisis of European affairs, that we
purpose resuming the subject in our next publication.

The Flanders papers which arrived last night, announce I
that the Russian Merchants having experienced a great
diminution of their trade in consequence of the existing
Tariff, had petitioned the Emperor to moderate the duties
on the importation of foreign goods. It was not thought,
however, that they would succeed, as many of the principal
Nobility had embarked large capitals in the Russian ma-
nufaCtures, for the protection of which those high duties
had been laid. The Hamburg papers which reached us at
the same time states that the King of Denmark bad issued
an order, informing the. Duchy of Holstein that he intended
to give it a Representative Constitution, and directed
Count Matlke and four other persons to repair to Copen-
hagen to meet a Commission appointed to investigate the
subject, and report upon it.
The New York papers which brought the President's
menace, brought also a confirmation of the account that
the town of Porto Covello was taken by storm on the tith of
November by the troops under the command of tienerals
Nee and Bermudez, and that the only rein ailing fort, the
castle at the entrance of the tinhorn., surrendered on the
10th. The garrison was to be sent to Cuba. Thus, at the
very time when the Madrid Gazette bo ate," of the number
of places end possessions which the Spaniards retained on
tl eSouth American Continent, their last annyweerlestroyed
in Peru, and their last hold in Colombia was wrested from
their hands. If the reconquest of their late Colonies was
difficult before, it is now impracticable.
On the subject of the manufactures, the Honourable Mr.
Keyes lately Said in the Legislature of Vermont, " Mr.
Speaker, 1 Lave on the best coat in the House. It has
been to Congress two sessions and thus far through this
session of the Leiteleture; it was spun in my own house,
and dressed by tine of our small establishments. The very
hat I h tie on wait to Congress. To be sure the dandies
did'nt like ir, but 'tis good enough. We most encourage
economy while weencourage manufactures."—(eleierican
