From the MAJ inieityeaesr Of Jan. Is.
The following message vas ycs,e day trans
m,ued by the president of the United
Sta,o., TO both House OF Congress-
~ sse Senate and House Of Rehressntotivrs
Of 'Ac Usifed States.
I have the satisfaction to Inform Congress
that the; establishment N Amelia Island has
been suppressed, and withou, tho etTusion OF
blood. The pspers waich explain this trans.
uction, I now lay before Congress.
BY the suppre ssion Of this establishment,
md of that Of Gslvezton which will soon fol-
low, If i, has no, already ceased to exist thero
"a GOOD reason TO believe tba, tho consumma.
lion Of a project frauyht with much injury TO
tho uaited States, has been prevented.
When we consider The persons engaged 10 il
being advcnturcrs from different countries,
with vecy few, if any, Of tho native ihsbi,auts
of the Spanish charlottesville territory on
which tho establishments were made---ooo, {,
ON n portion Of that claimed by the Unit
ed States, westward OF the Mississippi,
The other on part Of Eas, Florid, province
in negotiation between the United States and
sosin--,he claim of their leader, rs announc-
e,i by his proclamation, IN taking possession
Of Amolis Island, computing the whole oi
both the Floridas, without excepting that rart
Of WeM Florida which Is incorporated into
tho state Of Lpuisiana--,heir concuct while
IN the possession Of tho Island, making Il in.
s,rumentai to every species of contraband,
and in a regard TO slaves, Of tho most odious
and dangerous ehsracter--it may fairly bo
concluded, that IL she enter prise had succcod-
oi on the ,cslo on which il was formed. mnch

Fan-Sash Making.

METAL FAN.SASHES, Of various
WI descriptions, will be made ~ the
subscriber, at his shop, lower end OF Duke
street. The want of Metal Fan-Sash
Mandatory id Alexandria, has hitherto
been severely felt by builders and 9th
ers, who have been compelled to make
use of wood, which is neither elegant nor
durable. The various forms into which
the metal can be shaped have given it a
decided superiority. and the difference in
the price is very trifling. The subscriber
has been al considerable expence in pro-
curing the necessary preparations, and
relies on public enterprise for success in
the undertaking.
Gentlemen in the country, by sending
the dimensions of their sashes, can have
them made at the same price as it in town.
