' v ME3 DILL, Cl-k November 28tb, 1827. 40 Stv PRESIDENT'S MESS AGE. The President of the United States transnrttted this day the following message. To the Senate and Houpq of Representatives of the United States. Fellow-citizens of the Sejiate, and of the House of Representatives : A revoluiiou of ihe seasons has near ly been completed since ihe representaitves of the people and States of this Union were last assembled at this place, to deliberate upon the common import ant interests of their constituents. In that interval, the never-slumbering eye of a wise and beneficent providence has continued its guardian care over our be loved country. I he blessing of health has continued generally to prevail thro'out the land. The blessing of peace with our brethren of the human race, hap been enjoyed without interruption ;' internal quiet has left our fellow-citizens in the full enjoyment of all their rights, and in the free exercise of all their faculties, to pursue the impulse of their na ture, and the obligations of their duty, in the improvement of their own condition. The productions of the soil, the exchan ges of commerce, the vivify ing labors of human industry, have combined to mingle in our cup a portion of enjoyment as large and liberal as the indulgence of Heaven has perhaps ever granted to the imperfect state of mati upon earth; arid as the purest of human fnlicity consists in its participation with -others, it is no small addition to the sum of our na tional happiness at thi time, that neare

and prosperity prevail to a decree selif!1't' of reciprocity 5 and were it possible

dom experienced over the whole: habita ble globe: presenting, though a o

with painful exceptions, a foretaste 0fittie wikiuss 01 ignorance ot another an

that blessed period o! promise, hen (h,. lion shall lie down with the tamh, ami! wars shall he no more. - To preset ve, to improve, and to perpetuate, the sources,! and to direct, in their m.5t effective! channel, the streams which contribute to thf public weal, is the purpose for which government was instituted. Ob jects of deep importance to the welfare of the Umon arv constantly recurring, to demand the attention of the federal legislature; and the) call with accumulated interest, at Ah first inPtJnrr rf lltwo houses, after their peric.uical renovation. To present to tin ir consideration, from time to time, subjects in which 10 interests of the nation are most deeply involved, and for the regulation of which the legislative will is alone competent, is a duty prescribed by the constitution, to the porformance of which the first meeting of the new congress is a period eminently appropriate,and which it is now my purpose to discharge. Our relations of friendship with the other nations of the earth, political and commercial, have been preserved unimpaired ; and the opportunities to improve them have been cultivated with anxious and unremitting attention. A negotia lion upon subjects of high and delicate interest with the government of Great Britain has terminated in the adjustment of 6ome of the questions at issue upon satisfactory terms, and the postponement ot others for future discussion and agree tnent. The purposes of the convention. concluded at St. Petersburgh, on the 12th of July, 1822, under the mediation of the late emperor AU xander,have been carried into effect by a subsequent convention concluded at London on the 13th of November, 1326, the ratifications 0

which were exchanged at that place on

mo bin day ol reoruary last. A copy of the proclamation issued on the nineteenth day of iMarch last, publishing this convention, is herewith communicated to congress. The sum of twelve hundred and four thousand nine hundred and sixty dollars, therein stipulated to be paid to the claimants of indemnity under the 1st article of the treaty of Ghent, has been dulv received, and the commis sion instituted, conformably to the act of congress of the second of March last, for the distribution of the indemnity to the persons entitled to receive it, are now in session, and approaching the consummation of their labors. This final disposal of one of the most painful topics of collision between the United States & Great Britain, not only atTords an occasion of gratulation to ourselves, but has had the happiest effect in promoting a friendly disposition, and in softening asperities upon other objects of discussion. Nor ought it to pass without the tribute of a frank and cordial acknowledgment of the magnanimity with which an honorable nation, by the reparation of their own wrong, achieves a triumph more glorious than any field of blood can ever bestow. The conventions of the 3d July, 1816, and of the 20h October 1813, will expire, by their own limitation of the 20th Oct. 1828. These have regulated the direct commercial intercourse between the United States and Great Britain, upon terms of the most perfect reciprocity; and they effected a temporary compromise of the respective rights and claims to territory westward of the Rocky Mountains. These arrangements have been continued for an indefinite period of time, after the? expiration of the above mentioned conventions; leaving each party the liberty of terminating them, by giving twelve mouths notice to the other. The radical principle of all commercial intercourse between inde pendent nations, is the mutual interest of both parties. It is the vital spirit of trade itself; nor can it he reconciled to the nature of mar, or to the primary laws of human society, that any traffic should long be willingly parsued,of which all the Rd vantages are on ouc side, and all the burdens on the other. Treaties of commerce have been found, by experience, to be among the most effective instruments for promoting peace and harmony between nations whoss inter ests, exclusively considered on either side, are brought into frequent collisons by competition. Inflaming such treaties, it is the duty of each partv, not sim ply to urge with unyielding pertinacity, that which suits its own interest, but to concede liberally to that which is adapt ed to the interests of the other. Toaccomplish this, little more is generally re qu'n'd than a simple observance of the "or the statesmen of one nation, by stra tngetn and m ina'ment, to obtain from ' ver-nrachitig treaty, euch a compact u 01,1(1 Pve an incentive to war rather lia!1 a bonJ of peace. Our conventions w,lh Great Britain are lounded upon tne pnnciple ol ret iprociiv. 1 ne com mercial intercourse between the. two countries is greater in magnitude &ud amount than between any two other nations on the globe. It is, for all purpos. .f I J i A- 1 11 sua ui ueueiu or uivania"e 10 notn, as preciou?) and, in all probability, far more extensive, ihan if the parties were (111 constituent parts ol one and the same nation, iiu.uiuj

Treaties between suchur rlnial mnnnnnlv. nt the samn timo

states regulating the intercourse of peace between them, and adjusting interests of such transcendent importance to both, which have been found in a long experience of y ears, mutually advanta- . ta 1 11.1 1 a geous, should not oe iigiujy cancelled or discontinued. 1 wo conventions, for continuing in force those above mentioned, have been concluded between the plenipotentiaries of the two governments on the 6th of August last, and will be forthwith laid before the senate for the exercise of their constitutional authority concerning them. In the execution of the treaties of peace, of November 1782, and Septem ber 1783, between the united States and Great Britain, and which terminated the war of our independence, a line of boundary was drawn as the demarcation of the territory between the two countries extending over near 20 degrees of latitude, and ranging over seas, lakes, and mountains, then very imperfectly explored, and scarcely opened to the geographical knowledge of the age. In the progress of discovery and settlement by both parties, since that time, several questions of boundary between their re-

spective Territories, have arisen, which

have been found of exceedingly difficult adjustment. At the close of the last war with Great Britain, four of these questions pressed themselves upon the consideration of the negotiators of the treaty of Ghent, but without the means of concluding a definitive arrangement concerning them. They were referred to three separate Commissions, consisting of two Commissioners, one appoint ed by each party, to examine ai d de cide upon their respective claims. In the event of disagreement between the the Commissioners, it was provided that they should make reports to their sever al Governments; and that Uje reports should finally be referred to the decis ion of a Sovereign, the common friend of both. Of these2 commission, two have already terminated their session and investigations, the one by entire and the other bv partial agreement. The Commissioners of the filth article ol the Treaty of Ghent have finally disagreed, ami made ineir coniiicur.g reports to 1 1 J 11 ' A . . A their own Governments. But from these reports a great difficulty has occurred in making up a question to be decided by the Arbitrator. This purpose, has however, been eflected by a fourth Convention, concluded at London by the Plenipotentiaries of the two Governments on the 29ih of Septe mber last. ' It will be submitted, together with the others, to the consideration of the Senate. While these questions have been pending, incidents have occurred, of conflicting pretentions and of dangerous character, upon the territory itself, in dispute between the two Nations. By a common understanding between the Governments, it was agreed, that no exercise of exclusive jurisdiction, by ither party, while the negotiation was pending, should change the state of trie question of right, to be definitively settled. Such collision has, nevertheless, recently taken place, by occurrences, the precise character of which has not yet been ascertained. A communication from the Governor of the state of Maine, with accomoanving documents, and a correspondence between the Secretary of State and the Minister of Great Britain on this subject, are now communica ted. Measures have been taken to as certain the state of the facts more correctly, by the employment of a special Agent, to visit the spot where the alleged outrages have occurred, the result of whose inquiries, when received, will be transmitted to Congress. While so many of the subjects of high interest to the friendly relations between the two countries have been so far ad justed, it is a matter of regret that their - views respecting me luumitii uu nucleoli rse between the United States and the British Colonial possessions, have not equally approximated to a friendly agreement, ; At the commencement of the last session of congress, they w ere informed of the sudden and unexpected exclusion, by the British Goven ment, of access in vessels of the United States, to all their colonial ports, except thoie immediately IS A bordering upon our own lerriiories. In the amicable discussions which have succeeded the adoption of this measure, which, as it affected harshly the interests of Ihe U. S. became a subject of expos tulation on our part, the. principles upon which its justification has been placed, have been of a diversified character. It tin linnn n i nnro ncrrllior! i( :i miTH TPrilT rence to the old longestablished principle 1 h"'w ' IV' -- to a feeling of resentment, because the offers of an Act of Parliament, opening the colonial ports upon certain conditions, had not been grasped at with sutlicient eagerness by an instantaneous conformity to them. At a subsequent period it has been intimated that the new exclusion was in resentment, because a prior act of parliament, of 1822, opening certain colonial ports, under heavy and burdensome restr ictions to vessels cf the United Slates, had not been reciprocated by an admission of British vessels from the colonies, and their cargoes, without any restriction or discrimination whatever. But, be the motive for the interdiction what it may, the British government have manifested no disposition, either by negotiation or by corresponding legislative enactments, to recede from it, and we have been given distinctly to under stand, that neither of the bills which were under the consideration of congress, at their last session, would have been; deemed sufficient in their concessions, to

have been rewarded by any relaxationland Commerce, has been concluded with

from the British interdict. It is one the inconveniences inseparably connect ed with the attempt to adjust, by rccjp-

rocal legislation, interest? of ih't? nature

1hat neither party can ktow what would be satisfactory to the other; and that, after rracfn g a statute for the avowed and sincere purpose of conciliation, it will generally be found utterly h. adequate to the expectations of the other party, and will terminate in mutual di& appointment. Ihe session of Congress having terminated without anv act upon the sub ject, a Proclamation was issued, on the 17ih March lasl, conformably to the provisions of the 6th section cf the Act of 1st March, 1323, declurii g the fait that the trade ar d intercourse authored by the British Act ot Parliament, ol 4fh June3 I S22, between the Ui itt d States and the British ei un.erau u colonial ports, had been, by the subsequent Acts cf Parliament, oi'Sth July, 1625, and the Order ol Coui cil, of 27th July, 1S2& prohibited. The effect of thii Proclamation by the terms of the Act ur.der w hich it was issued, has been, that each ai d every provision1 of the Act concerning Navigation, of 13th April, 1818, and of the Act suplementary thereto, of 15ih May, 1829, revived, and ia in full force. Such, then is the present condition of the trade, that, useful as it is to both parties, it can, with a single momentary exception, be carried on directly by the vessels of neither. That exception itself is found in a Proclamation of the Governor of the Island of St. Christopher and of th Virgin Islands, inviting, for three months from the 23th of August last, the importation of the articles of the producs of the United States, which constitute their export portion ofthia trade, in th vessels of all nations, That period having already, expired, the state of n-ntual interdiction has again taken place-.' The British Government have r.nt onl declined negotiation upon this subjec', r i by the principal they haveaaun.t d i!h reference toil, have precluded tven (I means of negotiation. It berimes u the self respect of the U. S-a'e?, HI -1 to solicit gratuitous favors, or to nrcepfc as the grant of a favor that for whn ?, au. ample equivalent is erd. Ii reni:;g to be determined by ihe if-spectivv Governments, whether the trarir. shall be. opened by acts of reciprocal legislolu r It is in tire meantime saiitfaetory to kuot that, apart from the inconveniences resulting from a disturbance of the usual channels of trade, no loss has been sustained by the commerce, the navigation, or the revenue of the United Start 4and none of magnitude is to bs apprehended frem the existing state of mutual interdict. With the other maratin e and comrcrrcial Nations of Europe, our intercourse continues, with little variation. Since the cessation, by the Convention of 24tb June 1822, of all discriminating duties upon the veasels of the United Statei and of France, in either country, our trade with that nation has increased and is increasing. A disposition on the nart of France has been manifested to rene that negotiation; and, in acceding to the proposal, we have expressed the wmi that it miglit be extended to sther objects, upon which n good understanding between the parties would be beneficial to the interests of both. The origin of the political relations between the; United Slates and France, ia coeval wkb the first yea of our Independence. The memory of it is interwoven with that of our arduous strugglefor national existence. Weakened as it has occasionally beensince that time, it can by us never be forgotten; and we should hail with exultation the moment which should indU catea reco!Iection,equally friendly in spirit, on the part of France. A fresh effort has recently been made, by the Minister of the U. States, residing at Paris, to obtain a consideration of the just claims of citizens of the U S. to the reparation of wrongs long since committed, many of them frankly acknowledged, and all of them entitled upon every principle of justice to a candid examination. The proposal last made to the French Gov ernmont has been to refer ihe subject, which has formed an obstacle to this consideration, to the determination of a Sovereign, the common friend of both. To this offer no definitive answer has yet been received ; but the gallant & honorable spirit which has at all tims been the pride and glory of France, will not ultimately permit the demands of innocent sufferers to be extinguished in the mere consciousness of the power to reject them.
