NAVAL PEACE ESTABLISHMENT.
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT.
10 tie House Of Representatives ot'hc u. States:
In compliance with resolution of the House
of Representatives, of the 18th OF Decenbnr
fast, requesting the President of the United
states " TO communicate n plan for Peace
Establishment OF the Navy of the United States u
herewith transmit report from the Secretary
OF the Navy, which contains the plan required.
In presenting this plan to the consideration
OF Congress, | avail myself of the occasion to
make some remarks on it, which the importance
OF the subject requires, and experience iusti
fies.
If system of universal and permanent peace
could be established, or II, IN war, the belliger-
ent parties would respect the rights of neutral
powers, we should have no occasion for navy
or an army. The expense and dangers of sucb
establishments might be avoided The histor,,
OF all ages proves that this cannot be presumed
On the contrary, that at least one half of evcrr,
century, IN ancient as well as modern times
has been consumed in wars, and often of tho
most general and desoIating character. Nor is
there any cause to infer, FIVE examine tbo rom
dtlon OF the nations with which we have tbe
most intercourse and strongest political rela
tons, that we SHALL in future, be exempt from
that calamity, within any period, TO which ra-
tlonal calculation may be extended. And as
to the rights of neutral powers, it is sufficient
to appeal to our own experience to demonstrate
how little regard will be paid TO them whenever
they corne in conflict with the interests of tho
powers at war, while we rely on the iustice o(
our cause and on argument alone. The amount
OF the property of our fellow citizens. which
was seized and confiscated, or DESTROYED. bv the
bclligerent parties, in the wars Of the French
revolution, and of those which followed. before
we became party to the war, is almost incaI-
culable.
The whole movement Of our government
from the establishment of our independenco
has been guided by Il sacred regard for noaco
Situated as we are, in the new hemisphere Dis
tant from Europe, and unconnected with lie oc.
fairs ; blessed with the happiest government nm,
Garth, and having no objects of ambition to graf
jfy the United States have steadily cultivated
the relations Of amity with every power. Al
81 in any European wars, respect for o,,1
rights might be relied on, it was undoubtedlv in
those to which have adyerted. The conflict
being vital the force being nearly equally balan-
ced, and the result uncertain, each party had fbe
strongest motives Of interest to cultivate o,,r
cool will, lest VIC might be thrown into tbo an
posltc scale. Powerful As this consideration
usually IS, 1t was nevertheless 6tterv DISREGARD
ed, IN almost every stage Of and bv every mart,
70, those wars. To these encroacbrnenfs and
injuries, our regard for peace was finally forced
to yield.
In the war to which at length we became =
party, our whole coast, from ST. Croix 70 tbo
Mississippi, was either invaded or menaccd
with INVASION and III many parts, with s.rouo-

Robbery.-On Saturday night last an attempt
was made to rob The mail stage between Science
tady and Albany. The robbers had cut the boot
straps bu, the rafting of the chains with which the
baggage was secured, alarmed the passengers, and
the villains fed. Failing in their attempt on this
stage, they next tried their skill the OPP
position line, which was about half mile in the
rear, and succeeded in cutting from the boot, six
trunks, containing clothing, and about $50 in money
The proprietors of the two lines, assisted by seve~
raj friends went in pursuit OF the thieves. After
long search, the trunks were found broken opens
land principal part Of the clothing was found in the
woods. A trunk, belonging to one Of the passen-
gers, which contained $1,000, placed in front of
the stage, under the feet of the driver, BY mere ac-
cident, as there was no room in the boot. Apftb.
er passenger had money to the amount OF SSe 600
inside the stage.
