FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER OF
THE 9TH INST.
The following highly important and
acceptable Message was yesterday trans
mited by the President Of the United
States TO both Houses OF Congress:
10 The Senate aud House Of Representatives:
The Government of Great Britain has
offered its mediation for the adjustment
OF the dispute between the United States
aud France. Carefully guarding that
point in the controversy, which, as it
involves our honor and independence,
admits of no compromise, | have cheer
fully accepted the offer. 1t will be obvi-
ously improper to resort even to the
mildest measures of compulsory cha
racter. until it is aseertained whether
France has declined or accepted the
mediation. therefore recommend a
suspension of all proceedings on that part
of my Special Message of the 18th of Ja>
mary last, which proposes partial nom
ia,srcourse with France. While we
ca6not too highly appreciate the elevated
and disinterested motives of the offer of
Great Britain, and have just reliance
upon the great influence of that Power
TO restore the relations of ancient friend.
ship between the United States and
France, and know, too, that our own
pacific policy vii! be strictly adhered to
until the national honor compels us to
depart from it, we should be nsensible
10 the exposed condition OF our country
and forget the lessons ofexperience. il We
did not efficiently and sedulously prepare
for an adverse result. The peace of :
nation does not depend exclusively upon
its own will, nor upon the beneicen
policy of neighbOring Powers; aud tha
nation which is found totally unprepare'
for the exigeucies and dangers Of war
