CONGRESS-.

The following Message was on Monday last
transmitted by the President of the Uni
ted States to both houses of Congress:
TO the Senate and House Of Representa-
t;ues 0fMe United States,
Peace having happily taken place be-
tween the United States and Great Britain,
it is desirable to guard against accidents,
which during the periods OF war in Europe
might tend to interrupt II and it is be
lieved, in particular that the navigation OF
American vessels exclusively by American
seamen, either natives or such as are alrea-
dy naturalzed, would not only conduce to
the attainment Of that object, but also to
increase the number of otr seamen and
consequently, to render our commerce and
navigation independent of the service of TO
reigners, who might be recalled by their
governments, Under circumstances the most
inconvenient to the United States. 1 re
commend the subject therefore to the con.
sideration of congress, and, in deciding up
on it, am persuaded. that they will suffici-
emily estimate the policy of manifesting to
the world desire, on all occasions, to cul
tiyate harmony with other nations, by any
reasonable accommodations, which do not
impair the enjoyment of any of the essenti-
al rights ola free and independent people.
The example on the part of the American
government, will merit, and may be ex-
pected to receive reciprocal attention from
all the friendly powers of Europe.

IN SENATE.

February %.
Mr.. Bibb. from the committee on foreign
relations to whom was referred the message
of the President of the 25th instant, made
the following report:
That they fully accord in the policy re-
commended, ofavoiding, by prudent regu
lations, the occurrence of circumstances
which may disturb liberal intercourse
with fore a nations. They are, moreover,
persuaded, that the navigation Of American
vessels, exclusively by American seamen,
either natives, or such as are already natu
rallied, would not only have the tendency
to render our commerce and navigation in
dependent of the service of foreigners, but
that it would be calculated to remove the
pretext under which the American navigati-
on has heretofore been interrupted.
But, while the committee consider the
subject of the Presidents message highly
important, they regret that the session Of
Congress is SO near its close, that questions
affecting the foreign as we'll as the domestic
policy of the nation canpot now receive the
deliberate and full examination to which
they are entitled.
The committee, therefore, submit the
following resolution
Resotued, That the further consideration
of the message be postponed until the next
session of Congress.

Sir-The painful duty of detailing to YOU
the particular causes which preceded and
led to the capture of the late U. S. frigate
President, by squadron of H. B. M. ships,
las per margin) has devolyed upon me. In
my communication of the l4th, | made
known to you my intention of proceeding to
sea on that evening Owing to some mis-.
take of the pilots, the ship in going out.
grounded on the bar, where she continued
to strike heavily for an hour and half; al
though she had broken several of her rud
der braces, and had received such other
material injury as to render her return in
to port desirable, | was unable to do so
from the strong westerly wind which was
then blowing. 1t being now high water, it
became necessary to force her over the bar
before the tide fell, in this we succeeded by
10 o'clock, when we shaped our course along
the shore of Long Island for so miles. and
then steered S. r, by Il. At o'clock.
three ships were discoved head; we i'm,
mediately hauled up the ship and passed 2
miles to the northward of them At day
light, we discovered four ships in chace, one
