From the National Journal.

The Message is succnct and satisfactory expo
sition of the relations between the United States and
the other nations OF the world, and of our internal
condition, both as regards our institutions and re-
sources. A considerable portion the Messageis
of necessity, devoted to the history and present
state of our various differences with Great Britain
on the subjects of boundary, intercourse and trade
In relation to all these topics, the statements are
very lucid and explicit.
70 those who may have been apprehensve that
the exclusion of our vessels from the direct trade
TO the British Colonies would cripple our commerce,
it will be satisfactory to learn that such result
has either taken place, or is to be numbered among
the probable consequences of that measure. Not
withstanding that the British Government declines
all further negotiation this subject, therefore, the
predictions Of the factious, andthe fears
to the evils this exclusive policy may inct on US,
gratutous and without foundation. As regards
the other nations of Europe, the views contained in
the Message embrace amity and reciprocal conf
dence.
The abstract view taken Of our finances is most
gratifying. We have reached the lowest point in
the ebb Of our commerce. and the tide of prosperity
is returning upon US. Under the greatest Difficult
ties to which we have been subjected, il is for proud
and grateful recollection, that no interruption has
been made in the progress of the liquidation of ou
public debt. 1t is gradually and steadily diminish
ed, until it does not at this time exceed sixty
millions. Our exports have increased, until the,
have exceeded the amount, of our imports. Ou
Post Office Establishment has contributed this yea
upwards Of one hundred thousand dollars to thu
public revenue, instead Of being, as it formerly was
an annual drain on our Treasury. In short there i
no dark reality for the eye to rest on lin all the rang
of our external and internal economy. Imaginar
vapors may float before the eye of the discontentc
politician, but they are the effect of his own dseas
cd vision, and have no real existence.
