Ghe PRESKDENT Of the UNI4RD .S1Arss
this day communicated, by Mr.. Coles, ms
Erivate Secretary, the Following Message
. 10 Congress:
FELLOW Citizens ofhe
Senate g House IF Ref,resentatiOes,
Oh our present meeting it IS my first duty
to invite your attention to the Providential
favors which our country has Experienced.
in the unusual degree of health dispensed
to its inhabitants, and in the rich abdnd-
ance with which the earth has rewarded
the labors bestowed OH it. In the success
tui cultivation OF oLher branches of INDUS
try, and in the progress of general improve
ment favorable to the national prosperity,
there is just occasion, Also for our mutual
congratulations and thank fulness
With these blessings are necessarily min
gied the pressures and vicissitudes inciden-
tai to the state OF war, into which the Uni
ted States have been forced by the perse-
verance OF foreign power, in its system of
injustice and aggression.
Previous TO its declaration, it was deemed
proper, as measure OF precautlun and
| forecast, that considerable force should
be placed IN the Michigan territory, with a
gene' al view to its security, and, in the e.
vent OF war, to such operations in the up
! permost Canada az would intercept the hos
tile influence of Great Britain over the sa-
|
which that part of Canada Borders, and
maintain cooperating relations with such
forces as might be most conveniently en-
ployed against other parts. Brigadier. Ge-
neral Hull was charged with this provision
al service having under his Command a
BODY OF troops composed of regulars and of
