To be ready to meet with -cordiality satisfa6Wy proofs of fuch a change in adapting our meafures to the views which have been difclofed through that minifler, will belt confult our whole duty.

In addition to this, and other demands ol fli ic.i right, on that nation ; the United States have much reafon to be dittaiisfied with the rigorous and unexpected rettriions; to which their trade with the French dominions has been, fubjeck d ; and which, if not cnfcontintied, will rccuireat lead correfponding rettnCiions on importations from France into the United States.

WASHINGTON GIT Y, Nov. 5 The prefulent of the United States this day communicated bymr. K. Coles, his private feCietary, the follow ing inefTage to congrt fs Fellow Citizens of the Senate and of the House of Representatives IN calling you, together fooner than a feparation from your homes would otherwife have been required, I yielded to confiderations drawn from the polture of our fo-

our national rights, than vexatious to the regular courfe of our trade. Among the occurrences produced by. the conduct of Britifh lhips of war hovering onour coafls, was an encounter between one of them and the American frigate commanded by captain Rodgers, rendered unavoidable on the part of therrtter, by a fire, cfommenCecl without catife, by the former, whofe commander is, therefore alone chargeable with the blood unfortunately fhed in maintaining the honor of the American flag. The proceedings of a court of enquiry re-

Rodgers are comregard was had to the probability municated; together with the corcf further develops ments of the refpondence relating to occurrence poliey ol the belligerent powers betw een the feerclary of ilate and towards this country, w hii-h might his Britannic majelly's envoy. tin more unite the national eoun- : To thefe are added the fevcral cor-

property had been fo cxtenfively violated and endangered by cruifers under the Danifb flag. Under the ominous indication

which commanded attention it be-

came a fluty, to exert the means committed to the executive departrhent, in providing for the general fecurity. The works for defence on our maritime frontier have "accordingly been profecuted with an activity leaving little to be added for the completion of the mod important ones ; and, as particularly fuitcd for co operation in emergencies, a portion of the gun boats have, in particular harbors, ben ordered into life r The Hup of war before in commlflion, h ti, addition of a frigate have been chiefly employed as a cruifmg guard to the rights of our ooull. And fuch a ehlpolition has been made of our land forces, as was thought to promife the fervices moll appropriate and important in th.s, dilpolition is included, a frce confillmg of regulars and militia, embodied in the Indiana Territory, and marched towards our north weltern frontier. This meal tire was made requisite by feveral murders and depreciations commiued by Indians ; but more especially by the menacing preparations and afpefl of a combination ol them on the Wab.dh, onder die influence and direction of a fanatic of the Shuwanefe trilje. With thefe exceptions the Indian tribes retain their peaceable dilpolitions towards us, and their ulual purfuith. I mult now arid, that the period is arrived, which claims from the Lcoiihiive Guardians of the nati

onal right?, a fyfiem of more ample provifiohs for maintaining them. Notwithttanding the fcrupulous juttice, the protracted moderation, and the multiplied cflforts on the part of the United States, to fubllitute for the accumulating dangers to the peace of the two countries all the natural advanrages of re-ettablifhi:ig friendfhip 8c confidence ; we have feen that the Britilh ca!)inet perfeveres, not on -, ly in wuh-hoKdmg a remedy for other wrongs, fo long and fo loudly calling forit ; but in the execution, brought home to the threfh ?id of our ten itorj, of meafuies which under qxiftmg circumfiatices, h ive rhe characiler, as well as the effect of waronourhg.il cornnu rce. 4 With. this evidence of hollile inflexibility, in trampling on riglus vfhich no independent nation can rclmquifh ; congrefs will feci the duty of putting the United States into an armour and attitude demanded by the crifis, and correfpondiug with the nation fpirit . and cpectattops. : ; " s I recommend accordingly, that adequate proviGons be made for filling the ranksand. prolonging the enhflments of the regular troops ; for an auxiliary force, to be engaged for a more limited term; f.r. the acceptance of volunteer corps, whofe patriotic ardor may court a participation in urgent fervices : for detachments, as they may be

militia ; and for fuch a ' preparation of the great body, as will proi portion its ulefulnefsto itsintrinfic capacities. Nor canthe. occafioa fail to remind you of the importance of thofe military feminaries, which, in every event will form a v aluable and frugal part of our militarv eflablilhment. The manufadureof cannon and small arms has proceeded with due succefs, and the flock and re fources of blithe ncceifary munitions are adequate to emergencies. It will not be inexpedient, however, for congrefs to authorife an enlargement of them. Your attention will of courfe be drawn to fuch provifions, on the subject of our naval force, as may be' required for the fervices to which it. may be belt adapted. .. I submit to congrefs the feafonablenefs, alfo, of an authority to aug. ment the flock of fuch materials, as arc impcrilliable in tl;eir iiaturc or may not at once be attainable,.

In contemplating the fcenes which dittinguiih this momentous epocli, and elliniating their claims io our attention, it is impoffible to overlook thofe developing themselves among the great communities which" occupy the fouthem portion of our own hemifpherc, and extend into our neighborhood. An enlarged philanthr ;jy, and an enlightened forccatt, concur in impoling upon the national councils an obligation to take a deep intcrefl in their dellinies ; to ciier- ( 'Continued in second page.
