REMARKs ON THE PRESIDENTS
MESSAGE. &E

NJ length in most Of the london papers
of the 29.h December, and warmly and
dessrvedfy praised. The Courier thus
speaks oft :.
't'The Presidents Message is altogether
a gratifying document, from the pacific
and moderate tone adosted towards this
country /; but what viii excite peculiar
qualification to the friends Of American
Independence, is the allusion to the pros
porous condition of the finances, Il being
announced that the whole debt Of the
Scantry may he extinguished within d
years Of the administration of the pres
ent President. There can be little doubt,
~e.shink. of a perfectly satisfactory ter
nfination TO the question of boundaries.
'srhc two governments are, by interest, as
well as good feeling, Influenced in their
view Of that question, and it is not likely
thar they will allow any little difference
OF opinion TO prevail against the impor-
tant conviction that, for the sake OF in-
dependence and freedom, it Is essential
60 hare a cordial understanding between
the constitutional countries. 1t Is very
important that Great Britain, France and
America. should be cordially disposed to-
wards each other, in order to counteract
the effect of Holy Alliance league
which now exists in force ofits prederes-
sor, although it 10 not convenient to ac-
knowledge determination toenforce its
doctrines aud extend its power.
From the London Times.
The Message of the American Presi-
Ia. in no
full credit belongs to the government of
tho United States, the wisdom, integrity,
and concihatory spirit may he turned to
account By other nations, in their policy
both foreign and domestic. From the
rapid but comprehensive sketch which
Gen. jackson takes ofthe relations be-
tween his Republic and Foreign Powers,
.it-is gratifying to observe what express
siohs of respect and cordiality he employs
iS'speaking of the latter.
From the Morniag Chronicle.
The Message of the American Presi-
dsnt must appear strange document to
European statesmen. lie actually says
that Ire has nothing TO conceal from the
people. What would statesmen in Eu-
rope be without concealment and trick ?

The Message Of the American Presi-
dept TO tl,c Congress, which is given in
another part Of our paper, is a very inter-
essing document, MS developing the pres
snt condition and future prospect of the
Uaited States. Both arc spoken of in
glowing terms; and even allowing for
some partial exaggeration,, it must be uni-
vcrsally felt that the American nation has
attained, and 10 promised. . sa"tiauance
yrrvrasc OF prosperity which may well
sycitc the envy ofevery European power,
Edgtnnd herself not excepted.
