tascs resulting from thcrcduc tion ot the price of the raw matei'ials, and of labour, hive compelled the banks to withdraw from them a portion of the capital heretofore advanced to them. That aid, which has been refused by the banks, has not been obtained from other sources, owing to the 1 . r ;ndivi(hiii confidence. from the failures which have y - . ... our ;?rmctp il corn ncrcial cities. An additional cause of the depression of thes: establishments may pro'nbly be found, in the pecuniary embarrassments which have recently affectcd those countries vvith which our commerce has been principihy prosecuted. Tfu unuf icturcs, for the want of a read) or profitable market at home, have been shinned bv the manufacturers to the U.iited S ates, and, in many instances, sold at a price below their current value at the place of manufacture. Although tins practice miw from its nacu re, be considered ternp n ary, or contingent, i; is not on thai account less injurious in its effects. Uniformity, in the demand and price ot an artide, i highly desirable to the domestic manufacturer. It is deemed of great impor tance to ;nw encouragement to cur dom.ue immiMjrrtrrrs. a a :i it iv ::::m U) evu verted tomiv be re 1 ?.l:cd, and how far it may be practicable, in other rejects, 10 ford them further encourage ment, paving due regard to the other great interest ot the nati't, is submitted to the wisdom ot Congress, The survey of the coast, for the establishment ot foniiications, is now ncady completed, considenbie progress lias been made in tae collection of materials tor t!ic construction of tor ilicai::)is in the Gulph ttMxi co, ativi 1,1 tne Ciwspeake Biy. The works on the Listeru oatik of the Potomac, below Alexandria, and on the IV ratcn in trie unaware, are much advanced, and it is expected that the fortification at the Narrows, in the harbour of New i'ork, will be completed the present year. To derive all the advantages contemplated from thee fortifications, it was necessary that they should be judiciously posted, and con structed with a view to permanence. Tiie progresi, hithert'N has therefore been slow; hut, as the ditiiculties, in parts heretofore the least explored and known, are surmounted, it will in future, be more rapid. As soon as the survey of the coast is completed, which, it is expected, will be done early in the next spring, the engi-

were ordered to the mouth of

the Yellow Stone, on the Missouri, have ascended that river to the Council Bluff, where they will remain until next spring, when they will proceed to the place of their destination. I have the satisfaction to state that this incisure has been executed in amity with the Indian tribes, and that it t) them, all the advantages winch were contemplated by it. Much progress has likewise been made in the construction of ships of war, and in the collection of timber and other materials for ship building. It is not doubted that our navy will soon be augmented to the number, and placed, in all re spects, on the footing, provided for by law. The board, cons -sting of engineers ar.d naval oilicci'i, have not yet made their final report, of sites for two naval depots, 3sinstructed according to the rcJohitions ot March iSth, and April 20th, iSi$, but they have examined the coast therein desig.rared, and their report L expected in the next irunth. For the protection or our commerce in the Mcdiu-rra-nean; along the southern Atlantic coast, in the Pid.ie and Indian oceans.il n :x been found necessary to ruaintaiu a urong i-vd f piotr for ttH ;.jcut 10 continue. There " 1 muchieasou to believe, th-t. it ai.y portion ot the squadron, iic.xtoforc stationed in the Mediterranean should be withdrawn, our intercourse with tne power s bor dering cm that sea, would be much interrupted, if not altogether destroyed. Such, too, ius been the growth of a spirit of piracy, in the other quarters mentioned, by adventurers from every country, in abuse of the trie no iv flurs which they have assumed, that, not to protect the o nmerce there, would be to abandon it as a prey to their rapacity. Due attention lias likewise been paid to the suppression of the slave trade, in compliance with a law of the last scission. Orders have been given to the commanders of our public ships, to seize all vessel, navigated under our Sag, engaged in that trade, and to bring them in, to be prpeceded against, in the manner prescribed by that law. It is hoped that these vigorous measures, supported by like acts by other nations, will soon terminate a commerce so disgraceful to the civilized world. In the execution of the duty imposed by these acts, and of a high trust connected with it, it is with deep regret I have to state the loss which has been sustained by the death of com. modore Perry. His gallantry, in a brilliant exploit, in the late war, added to the renown ot his country. His death is deplored as a national misfortune. JAMES MONROE. Washington, Dec. 7, 1815,

With considerable opposition as to the day 011 which it should be read a third time, to-day was determined cn-Hind it was read a third time, finally passed, without a division, and returned to the Senate.

Strong of New York, rer.e and im imated to the hcuse that not desiring to embarrass the question which would probably arise on the Missouri bill now before the house, he shculd at presci't waive the u;o;;on he yesterday announced his intention to make, for leave to introduce a bill to prohibit the further extension of slavery within the territories of the UStates. Mr. Pinkney of South Carolina, gave notice that on this day week he should ask leave to introduce a bill to be entitled ", :n act to establish a circulating medium for the United States, and to sustain the? credit and utility thereof." He had understood, he said, that on the last day of the last session of congress, a resolution had passed which had in some degree referred this subject tc the secretary of the treasu -ry. He had therefore detei -mined to postpone for a wr k this motion, to ivc to the house an opportunity to receive the report of the secretary of the treasury on the; subject.
