with the utmost activity until th0 4th,

the bearer of another summons to
Chase to surrender, informing hun at
the same time that all was prepared on
the side Of The French, aud that at l l
O'Clock precisely, their fire would com

citadel on the 4ih Dec. which having
been rejected, the French batteries i'm
mediately opened, and the conflict COM
menced. The French had l03 guns
placed and ready. The moment was
one Of intense interest. But the sus-
pense was not of long duration. At IL
o'clock, "A cannon, shot from Fort Mon
tebello, followed by a tremendous fire OF
artillery, announced that the bearer oi
the flag had brough, back negative
from the Dutch Commander. During
the remainder of the day, The discharge
Of the cannon was kept up in regular
succession, with great exactness. The
Dutch answered with vigor, and the
spectacle is described by the correspon-
dents of The London press, as horrible
but nevertheless grand The third
Edition Of The London Standard, of the
evening Of the 9th, gives advices of the

The Message commences by refer
enco to the notice Of the proceedings Of
South Carolina, in the Annual Message,
and the documents now communicated.
Upon this the President remarks:-
"Aiihough unknown to me at the date
of the annual Message, the Convention,
which assembled at Columbia, in the
State of South Carolina, passed on the
24th day Of November last, an Ordi-
nance declaring certain acts Of Congress
therein mentioned, within the limits of
that State, to be absolutely null and void,
and making it the duty Of the Legisla-
ture 10 pass such laws as would be ne
cessary to carry the same into effect,
from aud after the lst Of Feb. next.
The consequences 10 which this ex-
traordinary defiance of the just authori-
ty Of the Government might too surely
lead were clearly foreseen, and it was
impossible for me to hesitate as To my
own duty IN such an emergency. The
Ordinance had been passed, however,
without any certain knowledge 6f the
recommendation, which, from view Of
the interests Of the nation at large, the
Congress. and hope was INDUCED, that
by frankly explaining his sentiments, and
the nature of those duties which the
crisis would devolve upon him, the au-
ihorities Of South Carolina might be in
duced to retrace their steps. In this
hope | determined 80 issue my Procla-
nation the 10th Of Dec. last, copy
of which now lny before you.
81 regret to inform you that these rea-
sonable expectations have no, been req
lized, aud that tho several acts Of the
Legislature Of South Carolina, which
now lay before you, aud which have alI
and each Of them finally passed, after n
knowledge Of the desire Of the admins
tration to modify the laws complained
Of, are too well calculated. both in their
positive enactmenis, and in the spirit of
opposition which they obviously encour-
age, wholly To ohstruct the collection Of
,he revenue within the limits Of that
State"
The President then goes on 10 remark
that neither tho recommendation of the
Executive, nor the uncquivocaI express
sions of the public sentiment in NIL parts
"f the Union, have had any effect to pro-
ducc any relnxniion of the measures Of
South Carolina. lie says, that there
can he 40 doaht the authorities of the
State intend fully 10 carry into effect
their Ordinance. He proceeds to re-
capitula,e. nj length the whole substance
ot the Ordinance, and Of the several
state laws Tor carrying il into effect.

These acts, aud copies of Gov. Hamilton's

marks that " these measures cannot be
