After the usual expressions Of gratitude fc
the various blessing, showered upon as pee
pie, by the Ruler OF the universe, Mr.. Tyler rum
of'Into what seems 10 US very inappropriate
eulogy of the beauties OF our federative system
ofGovernment. Breviy is said TO be the sou
Of wit, and it surely deserves some consideration
IN composing State paper. Hence, we think
the Executive would display more good sense
as we'll as consult the convenience of the rea.
ders of such documents, by confoing them to a
more succinct exposition of the state of the Un
ION, and more concise Recommendation of the
measures deemed necessary to be adopted, in
stead of swelling them out with long winded dis
eerta tons upon government, finance, political
economy &c. The machinery of our govern.
ment though sufficiently complex is getting to
be we'll enough understood not to require annu-
al essays upon its nature. Besides, John Tyler
cuts rather an awkward figure reading homIies
upon these matters TO such men as Buchanan,
Adams, Benton, Crittenden and others Of the
two Houses of Congress.
Next come Foreign Relations, under which
head nothing of special moment occurs. A
negotiation, we are told, is now pending between
the American Secretary of State and the British
Minister respecting the rights of the two nations
in reference to the territory Of Oregon. The
President recommends the establishment of
military posts at suitable points on the route
thi,her, with view to the better protection of
emigrants TO that region. With foreign gov.
crnments and our own the hes. relations SUBJ
ssi, with the exception of causes ofcomplaint
growing out Of The seizure of American Ships,
upon the coast of Africa by officers Of the Brit
ish Navy, on the plea that they were suspected
Of being engaged in the slave trade Repera-
ton has been demanded by our minister at the
court Of St. James. Mir. Tyler tells Congress
that he has instructed our minister at Berlin
Mr.. Wheaton, to renew the treaty with th'
German States (Zoll v erein) which the Senate
al its last session, very unceremoniously ia'
upon the table, and Of the provisions OF who
we may perhaps hereafter give our readers som
account. He also expresses the beiettha' u
people, at the recent election, declared Tor u
.immediate" annexation of Texas to this cou
try, and he recommends Congress to carry
the terms Of the late treaty by bill or JOINT res
linton forthwith. The Van.Buren section
the I.ocofoco party, at the head Of which stan
Mr.. Wright Of New York, take the liberty
differing with Mr.. Tyler, however, as to
nature of the late verdict Of the people; and II
strongly contend that nothing was decided
it, save that Mr.. Polk, Texas man in "gene
TERMS" has been elected President Of the I
ted States, leaving the time. the condtie
and the expediency of annexation yet open
discussion. We leave them TO settle the qt
ton thus raised, among themselves.
The decree promulgated by the Mexi
Government, in lS43, relative TO the retailtr'
the order for the expulsion OF foreigners,
that more recently adopted respecting passpt
have produced an angry correspondence
between our Minister at Mexico and the re-
sentative of that Government, without, how
er, efFectlng any definite result.
Mr.. Tyler takes occasion to congratulate
country upon the improved condition Of
Treasury. Attempting 81 100000, on acct
Of interest and in redemption Of that porto
the principal of the public debt, which falls
on the LIST. Of January l645, laying aside
OOOHoO to meet GU tstanding Treasury NJ
and liqudating an instalment Of the deb
the corporate cities of the District Of Colur
assumed by the government, there will re1
a surpss Of more than 8, 1000, 900 in the TT
ury, he says, at the end Of the present t
year. The credit Of the government has n
ly risen, and it will be able, it seems, to
charge the present public debt (Van Buren's
acy) before il becomesdue. All this has bee
