connected with the quartering, clothing, subsistence, health, and pay of the Army, exhibit the assiduous vigilence of those officers in the performance of their respective duties, and the faithful accountability which has pervaded every part of the system.

Our relations with the numerous tribes of

aboriginal natives of this country, scattered

over its extensive surface, and so dependent, even for their existence, upon our power,

have been, during the present year, highly interesting. An act of Congress of twenty-

fifth May, one thousand eight hundred and

twenty-four, made an appropriation to de

fray the expenses of making Treaties of

trade and friendship with the Indian Tribes

beyond the Mississippi. An act of third March, one thousand eight hundred and

twenty-five, authorized Treaties to be made with the Indians for their consent to the

making of a road from the frontier of Mis

fcouri to that of New Mexico. And another

act, of the same date, provided for defray

ing the expenses of holding Treaties with

the Sioux,Chippeways, Menornenees.SauKs

Foxes, &c. for the purpose of establishing

boundaries and promoting peace between

said tribes. The first and the last objects

of these acts have been accomplished, anc

the second is yet in a process of execution The treaties which, since the last Session o Congress, have been concluded with the sev

?ral tribes, will be laid before the Senate for their consideration, conformably to the

Constitution, j. hcv comprise? large and val

uable acquisitions of territory; and they secure an adjustment of boundaries, and give

pledges of permanent peace between sever

"l tribes which h'id been long waging Moody

wars against each other.

On the twelfth of February last, a Treaty

was signed at the Indian Springs, between Commissioners appointed on the part of the

united States, and certain Chiefs and indi

tiduals of the Creek Nation of Indians, whici

was received at the Seat of Government on ly a few days before the close of the las

Session of Consress and of the late Admin

istration. The advice and consent of the

Senate was given to it on the third of March

too late lor it to receive the ratification ol

the then President of the United States: it was ratified on the seventh of March, under the unsuspecting impression (hat it had been negotiated in good faith, and in the confi

dence inspired by the recommendation of

the Senate. I he subsequent transactions in relation to this Treaty, will form the subject of a separate Message. The appropriations made by Congress, for public works, as well in the construction of fortifications, as for purposes of Internal Improvement, so far as they have been expended, have been faithfully applied. Their

progress has been delayed by the want of

suitable officers for superintending them. An increase of both the Corps of Engineers, Military and Topographical, was recommended by my predecessor at the last session of Congress. The reasons upon which that recommendation was founded, subsist in all their force, and have acquired additional urgency since that time. It may also be expedient to organize the Topographical Engineers into a corps similar to the Corps of Engineers. The Military Acade

my at vvest-1 oint will furnish, from the La

act confirming the statutes of Vlfg'fiTa and: Maryland, incorporating the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company, three Commissioners on the part of the United States have been appointed for opening books and

receiving subscriptions in concert witn a

ikeumber of Commissioners appointed on he part of each of those states. A meeting

of the Commissioners has been postponed to

await the definitive Report of the Board of

Engineers. The lirht-houses and monu-

ments for the safety of our commerce and mariners; the works for the security of Ply

mouth Beach, and for the preservation of

the Islands in Boston Harbor; have receiv

ed the attention required by the laws rela

ting to those objects respectively. The con

tinaation of the Cumberland Road, the most

important of them all, after surmounting no

inconsiderable difficulty in fixing upon the

direction of the road, has commenced under

the most promising auspices, with the im

provements of recent invention in the mode of construction, and with tlte advantage of a

great reduction in the comparative cost of

the work. The operation of the laws relating to the Revolutionary Pensioners may deserve the renewed consideration of Congress. The Act of 18th March, 1018, while it made provision for many meritorious and indigent citizens, who had served in the War of Independence, opened a door to numerous abnes and impositions. To remedy this, the Act of 1st Mayj 1020, exacted proofs of absolute indigence, which many really in want were unable, and all, susceptible of that delicacy which is allied to many virtues, must be deeply reluctant to give. The result has been, that some among the least deserving have been retained, and some in whom the requisites both of worth and want were combined, have been stricken from the list. As the numbers of these venerable relics of an age gone by diminish; as the decays of body, mind, and estate, of thoc that survive, must, in the common course of nature, increase; should not a more lihr-ial portion of indulgence be dealt out to them? May not the want, in most instances, be inferred from the demand, when the service can be duly proved; and may not the last days of hu

man infirmity be spared the mortification of

purchasing a pittance of relief only by the exposure of its own necesshiest 1 submit to

Congress the expediency either of providing

for individual cases of this description by special enactment, or of revising the Act of

tst Mav, 1820, with a view to mitigate the

During the first week of the session, a bill was

Debt and one in the House of Representiatves to amend the constitution of the U. S.; these are very important subject, and we are pleased to see them receive the early attention of Congress.

Improvement, appointed for carrying into

execution the Act of Congress of 30th of

April, 1824, "to procure the necessary sur

veys, plans, and estimates, on the subject of

roads & canals, ' have been actively engaged in that service from the close of the last session of Congress. They have completed the surveys necessary for ascertaining the the practicnbility of a Canal from the Chesapeake Bay to the Ohio River, and are preparing a full Report on that subject; which, when completed will he laid before you. The same observation is to be made with regard to the two other objects of national importance upon which the Board have been occupied: namely, the accomplishment of a National Road from this City to New Orleans, and the practicability of uniting the waters of Lake Memphramagog with Connecticut River. The surveys have been made, and are nearly completed. The Report may he expected at an early period during: the present session of Congress. The Acts of Congress of the last Session relative to the surveying, marking, or lay

We are but clumsy hands st adulation, and very seldom attempt it; but ungainly as it may appear, we cannot in justice to the document above alluded to, pass it without a single expression of our honest approbation.

The 19th Congress commenced its first session at the City of Washington on the5tk inst. The Senate met at 12 o'clock, and after appointing a committee to wait on the President of the U. S. in con

It is well known that a little sand, or even a small chip of wood, will hinder the working of the pump, and the boiler being slack of water, and suddenly exhausted, the production of vacuum causes an instantaneous collapse of the boiler, for an immense strength only could resist the pressure of the external air.
