pnESxranT'S message.

JWow citittni of the Senate, and Eouto of R?prc entatives The pleasure 1 have in congratulating jou apon your return to your constitutional duties, is much heightened by the satisfaction which the condition of our beloved country at this period justly inspires. The beneficent Author of all good has granted to us, during the present year, health, peace, and plenty, and numerous causes for joy in the wonderful success wnicn attends the progress of our free institutions. With a population unparalleled in its increase, and possessing a character which combines the hardihood of enterprise with the considerateness of wisdom, we see in every section of our bappy country a steady improvement in the means of social intercourse, and correspondent effects upon the genius and laws of our extended republic. The apparent exceptions to the harmony of the prospect are to be referred rather to inevitable diversities in the Various interests which enter into the composition of so extensive a whole, than- to any want of attachment to the Union interests whose collisions serve only, in the end, to foster the spirit of conciliation and potriotism, so essential to the preservation of that union which, I most devoutly hope, is destined to prove imperishable. In the midst of these blessings, we have recently witnessed changes in the condition of other nations, which may, in their consequences, call for the utmost vigilance, wisdom, and unanimity in our councils, and the exercise of all the moderation and patriotism of our people The important modifications of their government, effected with so much courage and wisdom by the people of France, afford a happy presage of their future course, and have naturally elicited from the kindred feelings of thi9 natoin that spontaneous and universal burst of applause in which you have participated. In congratulating you, my fellow citizens, upon an event so auspicious to the dearest interests of mankind, I do no more than respond to the voice of my country, without transcending, in the slightest degree, that salutary maxim of the illustrious Washington, which enjoins an abstinence fromall interference with the internal affairs of other nations. From a peo pie exercising, in the most unlimited degree, the right of self government, and enjoying, as derived from this proud characteristic, under the favor of heaven, much of the happiness with which they are blessed;. a people who can point in triumph to- their free institutions and challenge comparison with the fruits they bear, as well as with the moderation, intelligence, and energy, with which they are adminis tered; from such a people, the deepest sympathy was to bo expected in n struggle for the sacred principles of liberty, conducted in a spirit every way worthy of the cause, and crowned by an heroic moderation which has disarmed revolution of its terrors. Notwithstanding the strong assurances which the man whom we so sincerely love and justly admire has given to the world of the high character of the present King of the French, and which, if sustained to the end, will secure to him the proud appellation of Patriot King, it is not in his success, but in that of the great principle which has borne him to the throne-the paramount authority of the public will that the American people rejoice. lam happy to inform you that the anticipations which, were indulged at the date of my last communication on the subject of our foreign affairs, have been fully realized in several important particulars, An arrangement has been effected with Great Britain, in relation to the trade between the United States and her West India and North American coloniesr which has settled a question that has for years afforded' matter for contention and almost uninterrupted discussion, and' has been the subject of no less than sis negotiations, in a manner which promises results highly favorable to the parties. j The abstract right of Great Britain to monopolize the trade with her colonies or to exclude us from a participation therein, has never been denied by the United States.- But we have contended, aud with reason, that if, at any time, Great Britain may desire the productions of this country, as necessary to her colonies, they "must be receivca upon principles of just reciprocity; and further, that it is making an invidious and unfriendjy distinction, to open her colonial porto-to the vessels of other nations, and close thzra against those of the United States. ' Antecedently to 1794, a portion of our productions was admitted into the colonial islands of Great Britain, by particular concession, iimueu to the term of one year, but renewed from ysartoycar. In the transportation of shese productions, however, our vessels vere not allowed to encage; this being -iHVliefire reserved to lintiMi shinnim . o . 1 1 erf

by which alone our produce could be taken to the islands, and theirs bro't to us in return. From Newfoundland and her continental possession?, all our productions, as well as our vessels, were excluded, with occasional relaxations, by which, in seasons of distress, the former was admitted in British bottom??. By the treaty of 1791, she offered to concede to us, for a limited time, the right of carrying to her West India possessions, in our vessels not exceeding seventy tons burden, and upon the

same terms with British vessels, any productions of the United States which British vessels might import therefrom. But this privilege was coupled with conditions which arc supposed to have led to its rejection by the Senate; that is, that American vessels should land their return cargoes in the United States only ; nnd, moreover, that they should, during the continuance of the privilege, be precluded from carrying molasses, sugar, coffee, cocoa, or cotton, either from the same islands, or from the United States, to any other part of the world. Great Britain readily consented toexpunge this .article from the trenty; nnd subsequent attempts to arrange the terms of the trade, either by treaty stipulations or concerted legislation, having faibd, it has been successively suspended and allowed, according to the varying legislation of tho parties. The following are the prominent points which have, in late years, separated the two Governments. Besides a restriction, whereby all importations into her colonies in American vessel arc confined to our own products carried hence, a restriction to which it does rrot nppear that we have ever objected, a leading object on the part of Great Britain has been to prevent us from becoming the carriers of British. West India commodities to any other country than our own. On tho part of the U. States, it has been contended, 1st., That the subject should be regulated by treaty stipulations, in prefer-: ence io separate legislation: 2d. That our productions when imported into the colonies in question, should not be subject to higher duties than the productions of the mother country, or of her other colonial possessions; And, 3d. That our vesseh shall be allowed to participate in the circuitous trade be tween the United States and different parts of the British dominions. The first point, after having been, for a long time, strenuously insisted upon by Great Britain, wa3 given up by the act of Parliament of July, 1825; all vessels suffered to trade with the colonies being permitted to clear from thence with any articles which British vessels might export, and proceed to any part of the world, Great Britain and her dependencies- alone excepted. On our part, each of the above points had, in succession, been explicitly abandoned in negotiation, preceding that of which the result is now announced. This arrangement secure3 lo the I United States every advantage asked by them, and which the state of the negotiation allowed us to insist upon. The trade will be placed upon a footing decidedly more favorable to this country than any on which it ever stood; and our commerce and navigation will enjoy, in the colonial ports of Great Britain, every privilege allowed to other nations. That the prosperity of the country, so far as it depends on this trade, will be greatly promoted by this new arrangment, there can be no doubt. In dependently of the more obvious ad vantages of an open and direct inter course, its establishment will be attended with oilier consequences of a high er value. That which has been carried on since the mutual interdict, un der all the expense and inconvenience unavoidably incident to it, would have been insupportably onerous, had it not been, in a great degree, lightened by concerted evasions in the mode cf making the transhipments at what are called the neutral port?. The3e indi rections are inconsistent with the dignity of nations that have so many mo tives, not only to cherish feelings of mutual friendship but to maintain such relationsas will stimulate their respective citizens and subjects to efforts of direct,. openr and honorable competition only, and preserve them from the influence of seductive and vitiating circumstances. When your preliminary interposition was asked at the close of the last session, a copy ot the instructions under which Mr. McLane has acted, together with the communications v?hich had at that time passed between him and the British Government r was laid before you. Although there has not been any thing in the acts of the two governments which requires secrecy, it was thought most proper, in the then state of the negotiation, to make that communication a confidential one. So soon, however, as the evidence of execution on the part of Great Britain is received, the whole matter shall be laid before you, when it will be sesn

lhat thn apprehension which npears to have suggested one of the provisions of the act passed at your last session, that the restriction of the trade in question miht be connected with other subjects, and was sought to be obtained at the sacrifice of the public interest in other particulars, was wholly unfounded ; and that the change which has taken place In the views of the British Government has been induced bv considerations as

honorable to both partie?, a9 1 trust, the result will prove beneficial. This desirable result was, it will be seen, grently promoted by the liberal and confiding provisions of the act of Congress of the ht session, by which our ports were, upon the reception and nnnunciation by the President of the required assurance on the part of Great Britain, forthwith opened to her vessels, before the arrangement could be carried into effect on her part; pursuing, in this act of prospective legislation, a similar course to that adopted by Great Britain, in abolishing, by her act of Parliament in a restriction then existing, and permitting our vessel to clear from the colonies, on their return voyages, for any foreign country whatever, before British vessels had been relieved from the restriction imposed by our law, of returning directly from the United States to the colonies a restriction which she required and expected that we should abolish. Upon each occasion, a limited and temporary advantage has been given to the opposite party, but an advantage of no importance in comparison with the restoration of mutual confidence and good feeling?, and the ultimate establishment of the trade upon fair principles. It gives me unfeigned pleasure to assure you that this negotiation has been, throughout, characterized by the tnogt frank and friendly spirit on the part of Great Britain, nnd concluded in a manner strongly indicative of n sincere desire to cultivate the best relations with the United Stites. To reciprocate this disposition to the fullest extent of my ability, is a duty which 1 shall deem it n privilege to discharge. Although the result is, itself, the best commentary on the services rendered to his country by our Minister at the court of St. James, it would be doing violence to my feelings were I to dismiss the subject without expressing the very high sense I entertain of the talent nnd exertion which ha7e been displayed by him on the occasion. The injury to the commerce of ths United States resulting from the exclusion of our ?essel3 from the Black sear and the previous footing of mere sufferance upon which even the limited trade enjoyed by us with Turkey has hitherto been placed, have for a long time, beeu a source of much solicitude to this Government, and several endeavors have been made to obtain a better state of things. Sensible of the importance of the object, I felt it my duty to leave no proper means unemployed to acquire for our flag the same privileges that are enjoyed bv the principal nowera of Europe Commissioners were, consequently, appointed to opsn a ne gotiation with the bubume Porte. Not long after the member of the commission who went directly from the United Statea had failed, the account of the treaty of Adrianopler by which one of the objects in view was supposed to be secured, reached tht3 country, The Black sea was understood to be opened to us. Under the supposition that this was the case, the additional facilities to be derived from the establishment of commercial regulations with the Porte were deemed of sufficient importance to require a prosecution of the negotiation as originally contemplated. It was therefore persevered in, and resulted in a treaty, which will be forthwith laid before the Senate, Ey its provisions, a free passage is secured, without limitation of time, to the vessels of the United State?, to and from the Black sea, including the navigation thereof; and our trade with Turkey is placed on the footing of the most favored nation. The latter is an arrangement wholly independent of the treaty of Adnanople: and the former derives much value, not only from the increased security which, under any circumstances, it would give to the right in question, but from the fact ascertained in the course of the negotiation, that, by the construction put upon that treaty by Turkey, the article relating to the passage of the Bosphorus is confined lo nations having treaties with the Porte. The most friendly feeling3 appear to be entertained by the Sultan, and an enlightened disposi tion is evinced by him to foster the intercourse between the two countries by the most liberal arrangements. This disposition it will be our duty and interest to cherish. Our relations with Russia are of the most stable character. Respect for that empire, and confidence in its friendship towards the United States, have been so long entertained on our part, and so carefully cherished by the present Ernpcror and his illustrious (Continued on fnt page.)

All that has yet been done in cither House is rather of a preparatory nature. The usual standing committees have been appointed, to which have been referred sundry petitions and resolutions. The Governor's Message was taken under consideration in committee of the whole, in both Houses, on Tuesday afternoon. In the House a general reference, of such parts as they may respectively deem appropriate for their consideration, was made to the various standing committees; but in the Senate every subject was referred either to a standing or select committee. Among other references, that part of the message which charges the commissioner on the Michigan road with mal-conduct wa3 referred to the committee on roads. That committee will of course feel bound to investigate the charge, so that, if guilty, the commissioner may be exposed and brought to an account for his conduct, and, if innocent, that his acquittal may have a publication co-extensive with the charge of guilty brought against him by the Executive of the state. It is due to the commissioner and the country that a full and impartial investigation of tho matter be had. Attempts have been made in both Hocses to bring cn the election cf a United States Senator, but so far they have been unsuccessful. It is altogether doubtful when the election will take place. It is supposed that seme plan will be adopted for a revision of the laws of the state; but the method which will bo adopted, and the time when the revision will take place, are uncertain.

Spalding1, Secretaries. Gen. Jkckson's veto message wa3 approved, and the brare old hero and beloved patriot was unanimously nominated for re-election to the presidency. A Central Committee was appointed and authorized to call a new Convention next July. County Committees were also ap. pointed. From ths energetic spirit in Vermont and from various indication?, we have sanguine hopes, that the brave Green Mountain boys will ere long redeem themselves frcm the yoke of those Siamese twins, federalism and anti masonry. The Clayi alias the National Republican, alias the federal, Stc. &c. ice. party attempted a Convention at the same place. It was a total failure. Jisston Sta. Jl JCfto Candidate.
