ssry appropriation.
Il d necessary TO state, howevcry that
the documents, except certain lists of vss-
sels captured, condemned or burnt at sea,
propsr 20 facilitate the examinations and
liquidation of the recIamations comprised
Ia the stipulation Of the Convention, and
which BY the 9th Article Ftsncs engagsd
TO communicate to the United States by
, the intermedit ary Of ths legation, though
sepsalsdly spilled for blythe American
charge d'Afiaires, under Instructions
lfom this Government, have not yet been
communicated and this delay, it is ap-
.pfehsnded, will necessarily prevent COM
pletion Of the duties assigned to the Com
.saissloners within the time at present pre-
saribsd BY law.
;The reasons for delaying tocommuni-
.odeo shess documents have not been ex-
plleisiy stated, and this 10 the more to be
Sohrefted. a. L il not Understood teat the
inferposition Of the Chambers il in any
manner required for the. deiicery Of those
pspers. .
Under these circumstances, in case
20 important to the Interest of our citizens
sadbd 10 the character Of our country, Snd
-uadsr sdisappointdents 90 unexpected, 1
.dssmed il my duty, however might re-
>spect the general assuranced to which
4hive adverted, no longer to delay the aP-
.peiuanent Of Minister Plenipotentiary
toPa,is, but to despatch HIM in season to
-com@unieats' the result Of his application
to the French Government at On early
period Of your session. accordingly ap-
pointsd distinguished citizen for this
purpose, who proceeded on his mission
sn.Augusl last, end was presented 10 the
King, sasly ia the month Of October, since
which-time no-depatchss ,huve been re-
csivsd from him. Heis particularly in
Atfucted as to all matters connected with
che present posture of affairs, and i in-
dujgs the hope, that with the representa-
<isas be 10 iastructsdto make, and from
che dispesisions manifested by the King
and his ministers, in their recent assuran-
ces to OUT Minister al Paris, the subject
will be carly considered and satisfactorily
disposed ef at themsetiug ofshe Cham

As this saheSt involves important in
aerests and has attracted considerable
share Of the public attention, i have Deem
ed il proper 10 mako this explicit state-
ment Of ito actual condition and should
i be disappointed II the hope now enter
taiaed, <6s subject VIII be fgain brought
: to tho notice Of Congress Ia such manasr
as the occasion may require.
The friendly relations which have al
ways been maintained between the United
States and RussiP, have been further OK
tended and strengthened by the treaty of
navigstisa and comnerce concluded on
the 9Th Of December last, and sanctioned
by &hs Ssnsts before the close Of hs last
session. The Fatifcatiohs have since
been exchanged, che liberal provisions Of
the Treaiy are now ia fall force /; and, un-
der the sncoursgemet which they have re-
csived aourishing and increasing COM
merce, yielding benefits to the enterprise
ofboth nations, affords to each the just
recompense- OF wise measures, and adds
new motives fes that mutual friendship
which the tive countries have hitherto
cherished towards each other,
Il affords me peculiar satisfaction to
state that the Government Of Spain has at
length yielded to the justice Of the claims
which have been 20 long urged 10 behalf
of our citizens, and has expressed will
inguess to provide an indemni6cation, a.
soon asthe proper amount can be agreed
-upon. Upon this latter point, it is Proba-
bic an understanding had taken place be-
tween the Minister Of the United States
and the Sp anish Government, before the
:. decease OF the late King Of Spain, and, un-
less that event may have delay ed its COM
plstion, there Is reason TO hoPethat 1t may
bs ip my power to announce to you, early
6your present session, the conclusion OF
convention upon terms not less favora-
BILE than those entered into for similar OBJ
jects with other paiions. That act jus
tics would we'll accord with the charac-
Ter Of Spain, and 10 due 10 the U. States
from tusw ancient friend. II could not
tail to Strengthen the sentiments Of amity
and good will between the two nations
which il ID 90 much the wish ofthe United
states to cherish, and SO truly the inter.
est Of both to maintain.
