credit and capital of cur merchants af 3 ford, by substituting Mils lor payments in specie A dari-,g outrags having been committed in those sen by the plunder of one of our merchntKmen engaged in the pepper trade at a port in Sumatra, and the piratical perpetrators belonging to tribes in such a state of society, that the usual coime of proceeding between civilized nations could not be pursued, I forthwith despatched a Frigate with order9 to require immediate satisfaction for the injury, and indemnity to the su (Hirer?1. Few changes have taken place in our .connexions with the independent States of A riiric r since my last communication to C ngr!9. The ratification of a Commercial Treaty with the United Republics of Mexico has been for ome tirrn under deliberation in their C Ingres?, but was still undecided at the date of bur lst despatches. The unhappy civil commotions that have prevailed there, were unuoubtedly the cause of the delay; but a3 tho Government is now said to be tranquilized , we may hope soon to receive the ratification of the treaty, and an arrangement for the demarcation of the boundaries between u?. In the meantime an important trade has been opened with mutual benefit, from St. Louis in the State of Missouri, bycaravaus, to the interior provinces of Mexico. This commerce is protected in its progress through the Indian countries by the troops of the United State?, which have been permitted to escort the caravans, beyond our boundaries to the settled part of the Mexican territory. From Central America I have receiv ed assurances of the most friendly kind, and a gratifying application for our good olricea to remove a supposed indisposition towards that Government in a neighboring State: this application was immediately and successfully complied with. They gave us also the pleasing intelligence that differences which had prevailed in their internal affairs had been peaceably adjusted. Our Treaty with this Republic continues to be faithfully observed and promises a great and beneficial commerce between the two countries: a commerce of the greatest importance, if the magnificient project of a ship canal through the dominions of that Slate, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, now in serious contemplation, shall be executed. I have great satisfaction in communicating the Fuccess which has attendded the exertions of our Minister in Colombia, to procure a very considerable reduction in the duties on our flour in that Republic. Indemnity also, has been stipulated for injuries received by our merchants from illegal seizures; and renewed assurances are given that the Treaty between the two countries shall be faithfully observed. Chili and Peru seem to be still threatened: with civil commotions; and until they shall be settled disorders roay naturally be apprehended, requiring the constant presence of a Naval ferce in the Pacific Oean, to protect our fisheries and guard our commerce. The disturbances that took place in the empire of Brazil, .previously to, and immediately consrqent upon the abdication of the I ate Emperor, necessarily suspended any effectual application for the redress of soma past injuries suffered by our cilizen3 from that Governmen!, while they have been the cause of others, in which all foreigners seem to have participated. Instructions have been given to our Minister there, to pres3 for indemnity due for losses occasioned. by these irregularities: and to t.-ke care that our fellow-citizens shall enjoy all the privileges stipulated in thei: favor, by the Treaty lately made between the two power?, all which, the good intelligence that prevails between our Minister at Rio Janeiro and the Regency, gives us the best reason to expect. I should have'nlaced Bueno3 Ayres ia the list of South America powere in respect to which nothing of importance effecting us was to be communicated, at for occurrences which have laiely ta. ken place at the Falkland Islands, in which the name of that republic has been used to cover with a show of authority, sciebj'irion? to our commerce, & to the preprr-'vee liberty of our fellow-citizens. In the courss. of the present year, one of our vessels engaged k the pustiit ot a trade which we have always enjoyed, without molestation, has been captured by u fcund acting-, as they pretend, under the authority -f the Government of Huenos. Ayres. I have therefore given orders lor the despatch of an armed vesc!, to join our squadron in those seas, and aid in c 'lord in 5 all lawful pro tection to our trade which shall be necessary; and hatl without delay send a Minister to enqire into the nature of the circumstances, aui also of the chum, if any, that is f et up by that Coveru.nent, to those Islands In the mean time I submit the case to the consideration of Congress, to the end that they nrisycioihe the Kxecut.ve with such au'hon y and means as they .-.ay deem necessary fur prViding.a force adequate to the complete pro-tec-ion of our fellow-citizens fulling and trades in 1 those seas. This rapid sketch of our foreign relations it is hoped, fellow citizens, may be of some use in to much of your legislation as my bear nn tl.ut important subject ; while it : X,rds to the coun try at large a source of Irgh gratification ,n tMr contemplation of our poi.i.o.d and comm-, C1ai connexion with ti.; t: cf vl v.ucd. ,u

pnre wMi .til having stbjcfs of futor? d'fTerence wi.h few, and .those susceptible of easy adjustment extending o-ir commerce gradually on all sides, and on none by any but the most liberal and mutually beneficial means, we may, by the b'essin f Providence, ihpe for all that national prosperity which can be derived from an intercourse with foreijjv nalions, guided by those eternal pr nciples of justice and reciprocal good wid, which are binding as well upon States, as the individiu:s of wh im they are composed. 1 have great satisfaction in making this statement of our affair, because the course of our national policy enables me to do it without any indiscreet exposure of what in other trover.;

rnents is general'y concealed from the people-! ilaVing hone but a straight f r-ward open course to pursue guided by a single princip e that w,ll J bear thejstronest light we have happily no ! political combinations to form, no alliances to entangle us, no complicated interests to consult; and in su-bjeciiny all we have done to tte consideration! our citizens, an I to the inspection of the world, we give no advaniange to other nations, and lay ourselves open to no injury. It maj not be improper to ad I that to preserve this state of things pnd give confidence to the world iti the integrity of our designs, all our consular and diplomatic agent9 are strictly enjoined to examine well every cause of com plaint preferred by our citiz.-ns; and, while they urge with proper earnestness these that are well founded, to countenance none th:-t are unreasonable or unjustrand to enjoin on our merchants and navigators the strictest obedience to the laws of the countries to which they resort, and a course of conduct in their dealings that m:iy support the character of our nation and: render us respected abroad. Connected with this subject I must" recommend a revisal of our consular law?. Defects and omissions have been discovered in their operation that ought to be remedied and supplied. For your further information on this subject I have directed a report to be made by the Secretary of State, which I shall hereafter subm:t to your consideration. The internal peace and security of our confederated States, is the next principal object of the General Government. Time and experience have proved 'Lat the abode of the native Indian within their limits is dangerous to their pence, and injurious to himself. In accordance with my recommendation at n. former Session of Congress, an appropriation of half a million of dollars was made to aid the voluntary removal of the various tribes, beyond the limits of the States. At the last Session, I had the happiness to announce that the Chickasaw3 and Chcctaws had accepted the generous offer of the Government, and agreed to remove beyond the Mississippi river, by which the whole of the State of Mississippi and the western pari of Alabama will be freed from Indian occupancy and opened to a civilized population. The Treaties with these tribes are in a course ofexecution, and their removal, it is hoped, will be completed in the course of 1 632. At the request of the authorities of Georgia, the registration of Cherokee Indians for emigration has been resumed, and it is confidently expected, that one half, if not two thirds of that tribe, will follow the wise example of their more westerly brethren. Those who prefer remaining at their present homes will hereafter be governed by the laws of Georgia, as all her citizens are, and cease to be objects of peculiar care, on the part of the General Government. During the present year, the attention of the Government has been particularly directed to those tribes in the powerful and growing state of Ohio, where considerable tracts of the finest lands were still occupied by the aboriginal proprietors. Treaties, either absolute or conditional, have ben made, extinguishing the whole Indian title to the reservations in that State; r.nd the time is not distant, it is hoped, when Ohio will be no longer embarrassed with the Indian population. The same measure will be extended to Indiana, as soon as there is-reason to anticipate success. It is confidently believed that perse verence for a few years in the present policy of the Government, will extinguish the Indian title to all lands lying within the States composing our Federal Union, and remove beyond their limits every Indian who is not willing to submit to their laws. Thus will al! conflicting claims of jurisdiction between the Stntcs and the Indian tribe? be put to rest. It is pleasing to reflect that results so beneficial, not only to the States immediately concerned, but to the harmony of the Union, will have been nccompli-hed by measures equally advantageous to the Indians. What the native savages become when surrounded by a dense population, and by mixing with the whites, may be seen in the miserable remnants of a few eastern tribe?, deprived of political and cilvil riht?, forbidden to make contracts and subjected to guardians, dragging out a wretched existence, without excitement, without h o p c and i without thought. But the removal of the Indians bevond the limits and jurisdiction of the ."itales, Joc-s not placo tlicm beyond the reach. of philanthropic aid and ch-ibii tu

instruction. On the contrary, those whom philanthropy or religion may induce to live among them in their new abode, will be more free in the exercise of their benevolent functions, than if they had remais.ed within the limits of the States, embarrassed by their internil regulations. Now, subject to no control but the supci intending agency of the General Government, exercised with the sole view of preserving peace, they may proceed unmolested in the interesting experiment of gradually ndvancing a community of American In

dians from barbarism tathe habits and enjoyments of civilized life. Among the happiest effects-of the improved relations of our republic, has been an increase of trade, producing a corresponding increase of revenue, beyond the most sanguine anticipations of the Treasury Department. The state of the public finances will be fully shown by the Secretary, of the Treasury, in the report which he will presently lay before you. 1 will here however congratulate you upon their prosperous condition. The revenue received in the present year will not fall short of twenty-seven millions, seven hundred thousand dollars; and the expenditures for all objects, other than the public debt, will not exceed fourteen millions, seven hundred thousand. The payment on account of the principal and interest of the debt, during the year, will exceed sixteen millions and a half of dollars: a greater sum than has been applied to that object, out of the revenue, in any year since the enlargement of the sinking fund, except the two years following immediately thereafter. The amount which will have been applied to the public debt from the 4th cf March, 1829, to the first of January next, which is less than threo years since the administration has been placed in my hands, will exceed forty millions of dollars. From the large importations of the present year, it may be safely estimated that the revenue which will be received into tho Treasury from that source during the next year, with the aid of that received from the public lands, will considerably exceed the amount of the receipts of the present year; and it is believed that with the means which the Government will have at its disposal, from various sources, which will be fully stated by the proper Department, the whole of the public debt may be extinguished, either by redemption cr purchase within the four years of my administration. We shall then exhibit the rare example of a great nation, abounding in all the means of happiness and security, altogether free from debt. The confidence with which the extinguishment of the public debt ro,,y be anticipated, presents an opportunity for carrying into effect more fully the policy in relation to import duties, which has been recommended in my former messages. A modification of the tariff which shall produce a reduc tion of our revenue to the wants of the Government, and an adjustment of the duties on imports with a view to equal justice in relation to all our national interests, and to the counteraction of foreign policy, so far as it may be i jurious to those interests, is deemed to be one of the principal objects which demand the consideration of the present Congress. Justice to the interests of the merchant as well as the manufacturer, requires that material reductions in the import duties be prospec tive: and unless the present Congress shall dispose of the subject, the proposed reductions cannot properly be made to take effect at the period when the necessity for the n venue arising from present rates shall cease. It is therefore desirable, that arrangement he adopted at your present session, to relieve the people from unnecessary taxation, after the extinguishment ot the public debt. In the exercise of that spirit of concession and concilialion which has distinguished the friends of our Union in all great emergencies, it is believed that this object may be effected without injury to any national interest. In my annual message of December, 1829,1 had the honor to recommend the adoption of a more liberal policy, than that which then prevailed towards unfortunate debtou to the Government; and I deem it my duty again to invite your attention to this subject. Actuated by similar views, Conqress at their last session passed an act for the relief of certain insolvent debtors of the United States: but the provisions ' ot that la.w have not been deemed such as were adequate to that relief to this unfortunate class of our fellow citizens, which may be safely extended to them. The points In which the law appears to be defective ,vill be particularly communicated by the Secretary of the Treasury: and I take pleasure in recommending such an extension of its provisions as will unfetter the enter prise of a valuable portion of our citizen?, and restore to them the means of usefulness to themselves and the community. While (b 'liberating upon thi su'j ct, I would also recommend to

your consideration the propriety of so modifying the laws for enforcing the payment of debts due either to the public or to individuals suing in the courts of the United States, as to restrict the imprisonment of the person to CF.ses of fraudulent concealment . property. The personal liberty of the citizen seems too sacred to be held, as in many cases it now is, at the will of a creditor to whom he is willing to surrender all the means he has ot discharging his debt. The reports from the Secretary of the War ar t! Navy Departments, and

jTrfn the Postmaster General, which accompany this message, picent satisactoiy views of the operations of the Departments respectively under their cnarge ; ana suutfesi nnpro emer.i? which are worthy ot, and to uhich I . ... . invite the serious attention cf Conf ess. Certain defects and omissions having been discovered in the operation of tle laws respecting Patents, they are pointed out in the accompanying report from the Secretary of Slate. I have heretofore recommended aitendmeot3 of the Federal Constitution (jiving the election of President and Vice-f resident to the people, and liaiitiug the seivice of the former to a single term. So important do I consider these changes in our fundamental law, that I cannot, in accordance with my sensa cf duty, omit ta press them opon tho consideration of a new Congress. For ray views more at largo aa ivell in relation to thesa points as to the disqualification of members rf congress to receive an ctlice from a President in whose flection they hive had an official agency, which I proposed as a substitute, I refer you to my former messages. Our system of public accounts is erlrcrcely complicated, and, it is believed, may be much improved. Much of the present machinery, and a considerable portion of the expenditure of public money may be dispensed with, while greater facilities can be afforded to the liquidation of claims upon the Government, and an examination into their justice and leg? r:'y f quite as tilicient aa the present, secured. With a view to a general reform in the 6ystem, I recommsntMhe eubjecJ to the attention of congress. I deem it my duty again to call your attention to the condition cf the District of Columbia. It was doubtless wise in the framere of our constitution, to place tho people of this District under the jurisdiction of the General Government; but, to accomplish the objects they had in view, it is not necessary that thi3 people should be deprived of all the privileges of self government. Independently of the difficulty of inducing the representatives of distant States to turn their atltntion to projects of laws which are not of Ihe highest iuterest to their constituents, they are not individually, nor in congress collectively, well qualified to legislate over the local concerns of this Listrict. Consequently, its interests are much neglected, and the peoplo are almost afraid to present their grievances, lest a body, in which they ere not re presented, end which feels little sympathy in their local relations, should, in its attempt (0 make laws for them, do more harm than good. Governed by the laws cf the states whence they were fevered, the two shores of the Potomac within the ten uales square, hnva d fT rent penai codes; not the prtseut codes of Va. and Maryland, hut such as existed in those States at tha time cf the cession i to the United States. As Conjrreis will not I r.r i . 1 ti I r.u 1 lorm a new code, and as the people ot ihe j ! District cannot make one far lheu;solvt 3. I they era virtually under two Governments. Is it not just to allow ttera at least a delegate in congress, if not a local legislature, to nbo laws for the District, subject to the approval or rejection of congress? I earnestly recommend the extension to them of eveiy political right winch their iuterests require, and which may bo compatible with the constitution. Tho extension of the Judiciary system of the United States, is deemed to ba one of,1 the :1 u t i e 3 of Government. Ones fourth ot the States in the Union do not participate in the benefits of a ciicuit court. To the States of Indiana, Illinois, Musouri, AUhtma, Mississippi, a.id Louisiana, admitted iuto the Union since the present JuJtcial system was organized, only a distict court has been allowed If this be sufficivnt, then the circuit courts, already existing in eighteen state?, ought to be abolished: if it be not sufficient, the defect ought to bo remedied, end these states placed on the same footing with the other members of the TJnion. It tvas on this condition, and on this footing, that they entered the Union; and they may demand circuit courts a3 a matter, not of concession, hut of right. I tru3t that corgrees will n.ot adjourn, leaving tbia anomoly in our system Kutertaining the opinions heretofore ex pressed in relation to the Buik of the United States, as at present org?.n:zad, I felt it my du'y, in my former Me3ige9, frankly !o disclose them, in order that the attention of the lgishluro and the people should ho seasonab'y directed to that important sul j ct, and that if might be considered and fnally disposed of in a manner hrit calculated to promote the ends of the constitution and .-observe the ptihlis interests. Having thus conscientiously dischargfd a constitutional duty, I deem it proper, on this occasion, without n more particular reference to the viuws of the 6uh joct then express!, to leave it frr the present to the investigation cf an tahghtuoed people and their repn sentulives In conclusion, permit me to invoke ftHt Po-.ver which superintends all Governments, fo infuso into your deliberations; at this im tnt crisis cf our history, as ... f . , ! pint ol nu t tai forbearance nd concilia ion . In fhif eptr was our Union formed, and iu t it spir t murf t be preserved. ANDir.iV JACKSON. Washington, iJwtmltr U, jl'3l.
