which so constantly afllict the neighbor
ing republics. Disturbances which re-
Gently broke out are, however, now un,
derstooC TO be quoted. But those oc
currences, by threatning the stability Of
the Governments, or by causing incessani
and violent changes in them, or in the per.
sons who administer them, tend greatly
to retard provisions for just mdemni-
ty for losses and injuries suffered
by individual subjects or citizens
of other States. The Government of the
United States will feel it to be its duty,
however, to consent 10 no delay, not un.
avoidable in making satisfaction for
wrongs and injuries sustained by its own
citizens. Many years having, in some
cases. elapsed, decisive and cilectual
course Of proceeding will be demanded of
the respective governments against whom
claims have been preferred.
The vcXalions, harrassing and expen-
slve war which so long prevailed with
the Indian tribes inhabiting the peninsula
Of Florida, has happily been tcrmina ted;
whereby our army has been relic, ed from
service of the most disagrccable charac-
ter, and the Treasury from large expen-
dture. Some casual outbreaks may oc-
cur, such as are incident to the close prox-
unity OF border settlers and the Indians;
but these, as in all other cases, may be
lett to the care of the local authorities,
aided, when occasion may require, by the
forces OF the United States. A sufic lent
number of troops will be maintained in
Florida, so long as the remotcst appre-
tensions CT danger shall exist, yet their
duties will be limited rather to the gar
lisonlng of the necessary posts, than to
the maintenance of active hostlities 1t
is to be hoped that territory, to long re-
tarded IN its growth, will now speedily
recover from the evils incident to a pro-
tracled war, exhibiting, in the increased
amount Of its rich productions, true ev-
licences of returning wealth and prosper
ity. BY the practice of rigid Justice to-
wards the numerous Indian tribes rcsid-
ing within our territorial limits, and the
exercise of parental vigilance over their
interests, protecting them against fraud
aud intrusion, and at the same time using
every proper expedicnt to introduce a
mong item the arts Of civilized life, we
may londly hope not only to wean them
from their love for war, bu, TO inspire
them with love for peace and all its
avocallons. With several Of the tribes
great rogIess in civilizing them has al
ready been made. The schoolmaster
and the missionary are found size by side
and the remnants of what were once nu-
merous and powerful nations may vet be
preserved as the builders up of new
name for themselves and their posterily.
