I refer you to the report of the Secretary of

uie INvy tor me present condition of that v branch of the National defenee; and for crave suggestions, having for their object the increase of us efficiency, and a greater economy in its management. During tho past year, the officers ana men nave pertormed their duty in a satis factory manner. The orders which have been giv en were executed with promptness & fidelity.- A large force than has often formed one squadron under our flag was readily concentrated iu the uuitot Mexico, and apparently without unusu aleltort. It is especially to be observed, that notwithstanding the union of a considerable force no act was comitted that even the jealousy el an irritated power could construe as an act of aggression; and that the commander of these squadrons and his officers, in strict conformity with, their instructions, holding themselves ever reaay lor the most active dnty, have achieved the still purer glory of contributing to the preservation of peace. It is believed that at all our foreign stations the honor of our fli2 has boen maintained, and that generally our ships of war have been distinguished -for their good disci pline and order. 1 am happy to add, that the display of mariime force which was required by tho events of the summer, has been wholly with in me usual appropriations lor the service ot the yeat,so that no a ddhional appropriations are required. The commerce of the U. S and with it the navigation interest, have steadily and rapidly in creased since the organization ot our uovernment, until, it is believed, we are now second to but one Power in the world, and at no distant day we shall probably be inferior to none. Ex posed as they must be, it has been a wise policv to attord to the imoortant mtereta nrotection with our shipa of war, distributed in the great bighwajs of tiade throughout the world. For more than thirty years appropriations have been made, and annually expended, for; the gradual increase of our naval forces. In peace, our navy performs the important duty of protecting our - commerce; and, in the event of war, will be, as it has been a most eficient means of defence. The successful use of steam navigation on the ocean nas been followed by the introduction of war steamers in great and increas- . ing numbers into the navies of. the principal maritime Powers of the world. A due regard to our safety and to an efficient protection to onr increasing commerce demands a correspondingincrease on our part. Ab country has greater facilities for the construction of vessels of this description than ours, or can promise itself greater advantages from their employment. They are admirably adapted to thf nrntftinn nf ntir rnmmprep tn tho rapid transmission of intelligence, and to the coast defence. In pursuance of the wise policy of a gradual increase of our navy, Jarge supplies of live oak timber, and other materials for ship building, have been collected, and are uuw uuuer sneiter ana in a state or good preservation, while iron steamers can be built with great facility in various parts of the Union. - The use of iron as. a material, espociillyin the construction of steamers, which can enter with safety many of the harbors along our coast now inaccessible to vessels of greater draught, and the practicability of constructing them in the interior sirongly recommends that liberal appropriations should be made for this important object. Whatever may have been our policy in the earlier stages of the Government, when the nation was in its infancy, our shippiug interests and com. njercc comparatively small onr resources limited, our population sparce and scarcely extending beyond the limits of the original thirteen States, that policy must be essentially different now that we have grown from three to more than tweuty millions of people that fill r rrn moppo rn rrior? in miw Anm c-kino a found in every sea, and that our tentorial; boundaries and settlements have been so greatly expanded. Neither our commerce nor our long line of coast on the ocean and on the lakes can be successfully defended against foreign aggression by means of fortifications alone. These are essential at important com mercial and military points, but our . chief re liance for this object must be on a well organised efficient navy. The benefits resulting from such a navy are not corfined to the Atlantic States. The productions of the interior which soek a market abroad, are directly dependent on the saiety ana ireedom ot our commerce. The occupation of the Ealize below New.Orleans by a hostile force would embarrass, it not stagnate, the whole export trade of the Mississippi, and affect the value of the agricultun'al products of the entire valley of that mighty river and its tributaries. It has never been our policy - to maintain large armies in time of pence. They are contrary to the genius of our free institutions, would impose heavy burdens on their people and be dangerous to public liberty Our reli ance for protection and defence on the land must be mainly on our citizen soldiers, who will be ever ready as tney ever-have been rea dy m times past, to rush with alacrity at the call of their country to' her defence. .This description of force, however cannot defend ! our coast, harbor?, and inland seas, nor protect our commerce on the ocean, or the lakes. These must be protected by our navy. Considering an increased naval force, and especially of steam vessels corresponding with our growth and importance as a nation, and proportioned to the increased and increasing naval power of other nations,of vast importance as regards our safety, and the great and " growing interest to be protected by it, I recommend the subject to the favorable consideration of congress. . , , The report of the Postmaster General, herewith communicated, contains a detailed statement of the operations of his department during the past year. It will be seen that the income from postages will fall short of the expenditures lor the year between one and two millions of dollars. This deficiency has been caused by the reduction of the rates of postage which was made by the act of the third of March last. No principle' has been more generally acquiesced in by the people than this department should sustain itself by limiting its expenditures to its income. Congress has never sought to make it a source of revenue for general purposes, except for a short period during the last war with Great Britain, nor should it ever become a charge on the great treasury. If Congress shall ad here to this principle, as I think they ought, it will be necessary to curtail the present mail service so as to reduce the expenditures, or so to modify the ect of the third of March last to improve its revenues. The eztention of the mail service, and the additional facili ties which will be demanded by the rapid extention and increase ot population on our wes tern frontier , will not admit of such curtail ment as will materially reduce the present expenditures. In the adjustment ot the tar iff of postages the interests o: the peopie demand, that the lowest rates be adopted nhioh will nroduce the necessary revenue to meet the expenditures of the department I invite the attention of Congress to the sug rrestionsof the Postmaster Ganeral. on this subject, under he belief, of such a modification of the late law may be made as will yield sufficient revenua without further calls on the treasury, and with very little change in the present rates ot postage. . , i Proper measures have been taken, in persuance oi tne act 01 me tinru ui iimuu

for the establishment of lines of mail steam

rs between this and foreign countries. The emportance of thie service commends itself istrongly to favoreble consideration. With the growth of our conntrv. the public business which devolves on the heads of the seve ral Executive Departments has greatly increased la some respects, the distribution of duties among thern seems to bi incongruous, and many ot these might be trauslerred trom one to another wnn advantage 10 tne punnc interests. A mo'e auspicious time for the consideration of this sub ject by Congress, witu a view to system" in the organizatin ot the several departments, and more appropriate division of the public business, will not probably occur. . . :, . The most important duties of the State Depart ment relate to our foreign anaire. By the great onlargement of the family of nations, the increase of our commerce, and the corresponding exten sion of our consular system, the business of the department has been ' greatly increased.. In its present organization, many duties of a domestic nature, and consisting of detoils, are devolved on the Secretary of State, which do not appopriately belong to the foreign department of the government, and may properly be trausforred to some other department. One of these grows out of the presesent state of the law concerning tho Patent Office, which, a few years since, .was a sqdordinate clerkship, but has become a distinct bureau of great importance. With an excellent internal organization, it is still connected with with the Stute Department. In the transaction uf it, business, questions of much importance to inventors and to the community, frequently arise, which, by existing laws, are referred to the daeisiou of a board,- of -which the Secretary of State is a member. These questions are legal, and the connection which now exists between the State Departraeut and the Patent Office, may. with eroat propriety and advantage, be transfer red to tha Attorney General, In his last message to uongress, ilir. Madison invited particular attention to a proper provision for the Attorney General as an "important im provement in the executive.establishment .'This recomendation was repeated by some of hie sue cessors. The ofEicial duties of the Attor ney General have been much increased within few years; and bis office of has bocome one of great importance, liis duties may be s ill further ncreased with advantage to the pubhek interests. As an executive officer, his residence and con stant attention at tha seat of Government are re quired. . Legal questions, involving important princi ples and laage amounts of public money, are constaatly referred to him by the President and executive department, for his examination and decision. The publick business' under his official management before the judicary has been augmented by the extension of oua territory and the acts of Congress ' authorizes suits against the United States lor large bodies of valuable pub lic lauds, as greatly to increase his labors and responsibilities. I therefore recommend, that the Attorney General bo placed on thq same foot ng with the beads ol tha other exesutive depart ment with such subordinate officers, provided by law if his department, as.may ba required to discharge the additional duties which have, or may be devolved .upon him. uongress possesses the power of exclusive leg islation over the District of Columbia, and I com mend the interests of its inhabitants toyourfavorable consideration. The people of this District have ho legislative body of their own, and must conb.de rlieir local, as well as their general interests, to Representatives in whose election they have no voice, and over whose official conduct they have no control. Each member of the Natianal Legislature should consider himself as their immediate Representative, and should be the more ready to give attention to their interests and wants, because he is not responsible to to them. I recommend that a liberal and generous spirit may characterise your measures in relation to them. I shall be ever disposeb to show a proper regard for the wishes, and, in constitutional limits, shall all times cheerfully operate with you for the xdnneemaat of their welfare. I trust it may not be deemed iuappropriate to tho occasion forme todwellfora momeut on the memory of the most eminent citizeu of our country, who during the . summer that is gone by, has descended to the tomb. Tha enjoyment oi contemplating at the aviUnced age of near four scoreyears. the happy condition of his country, cheered the last ours of Andrew - Jackson, who departed this lile in a tranquil hope of a blessed immortality. His death was happy, as 1 is life had been eminently useful. He had an unfaltering confidence in the virtue and capacity of the people and in the permanence of that free government which .be had largefy contributed to establish and defend. His great deeds had seenred to him the affections of his fellowcitizens, and it was his happiness to witness the growth and glory of his country which he loved ; so well. He departed amidst the benedictions of millions of freemen, The nation paid its tribute to his memory at his tomb. Coming generations will learn from his example the love of country and the right3 of men In .his language, on a similar occasion. I now commend you, fellow-citizens, to the guidance of Almighty God, with a .' full reliance on His merciful providence for the maintenance of our free iustitutjonsj 'and with an ecmest supplication, that whatever .errors it may he my lot to commit, in djschasin? the arduous duties which have devolved on me. will find a remedy in the harmony and wisdom of your counsels." , .

It is a document' of great length, whether an able one or not we are not now prepired to say, not having had time lo peruse it. Tho force of both the Journal . and Courier Offices, were engaged on it since yesterday noon, and we very much doubt if a document of the same length was ever sooner got out by the same uumlerof. hands,.ia any place. letter from our Representative under date of the 9th. hist., announces that Jesss D. Bright delivered his valedictory to the Senate on the morning previous, and made his bow; but before f doing bo he took good care lo appoint a committee on the apportioning the State. The Senate had ballotted for two whole days for a President pro tem fifty times they' balloleil without success. The Whigs say the LoCofocos caused the vacancy and they may fill it as bestthey can.
