Jetaclif d ir. quotas of militia, amonntirp; ' to one hnnJrtd Uioufotul. under the ?d ot Marcb 1306 niiht, not iivjnopctly be iclcivcd fiom thr (Ute ii wliiih thfy were held for immediate iervire. A cHfrhArge of them has been accordingly directed The progreft made in raiting and organizing the additional milimy force, fcr which provifion was nude by W aft of April 1808, together with the difpofition of the troops, will ' spp?r by a report which the fecrct.iry of War is preparing, and -which will be. hid before you. Of the additional fiigitrs required, by an aft of the Wll ftilion, to be filled for actual fervice, two are in readinefs, one nearly fo, and the fourth is exprtfted to be ready, in the month of July. A report, which the Secretary ot the Navy is preparing on the fubjeft, to be laid p-fore Congrefs, will (hew at the fame tine, the progrefs made inYfiicering and manning thrfe ihips. It will flnrw alfo the degree in "Which the provifions of the at, relating to the other public armed veflels bar- been carried Into execution It will reft with the judgment of Congrefs to dcfide how far the change in rur exUrrial prospects may authorife ?ny modiCcations of thr laws relating to the army and navy elUblifhrnents. The works of de-fence for- our f-r.port towns and harbors have proceeded with is much activity, as the Icrtfon of the yr'r and other circumftancrs would r.dmit. It is neceffary however to Hate, that the appropaiitions hitherto made being fund to be deficient, a further provifmn will claim the early confideration of Congrefs. The whole of the eight per cent flock remaining due by the Unitrd 2.ates, amounting to five millions three hundred thouf-md dollars, had been reitnouifcd on the hft day of the year 1808. AyaL on firft day of April l ilt, the fum in th? Treziury execedrd nine nd a half trillions of dollars This together with thr r- eipts of the current year on account of former revenue bonds, will probably, be neatly, if not altogether fufficiert to dtfry the expences of the year. Pm the fofpenfiori of exports and the confequrnt decretfe of unportations during the laft twelve morvfHs, will neceflfarily caufe a great dimunition in the receipts of the year one thoufind eight hundred and ten. After tlvt year fiiould our foreign relations pe undifturbed, the revenue will again be more than commrnfnr.Ue to all the expenditnr-s. A ware of the inconvenienees of a protraced fellion, at the prefent Onion of the year, ! forbear to cll the attention of the Legifluure to any matters not pirticuhrly urgent. It remains therefore only to aflur; you of the fidelity and alacrity with which I flull co-operate for the welfare and happinefs of our country ; and to pray that it may e?:prieive a continuance of the divine buffings, by wwich ithas-43een fo fignalTy favoured.
