INAUCiURAL SPLCCII. fcia. Mmm Ycstrday,at 13 o'clock, on taking the oath to support lh Constitution cl the United states, the following hpi-vcl) was dlivrtd by JAMES MGMIOE, President of th United States : FKLLOW-C1T1ZEXS : 1 shall not attempt to describe ths grcatful emotions which the new and very distinguished proof of the confidence of my fellow citizensr evinced by my re-election to this high trust, has excited in my bosom. The approbation which it announces of my conduct, in the preceding term, affords mc a consolation which 1 shall profoundly feel through life. The I'cueral accord with which it lias been expressed, adds to the great and never-ceasing obligation which it impost;.. To merit the continuance of this good opinion, and to carry it with me int my retirement, as the solace of advancing years, will be the object of my inostreaious ami unceasing efforts. ilavirg in pretention to the high and comm?h:ii:ig claims of my predecessors, whose ';.-" !,. .iitj so much more contpicuousl) milled with our revolution. ; nd who contributed so pre eminently to promote its Miccess. I consider n.yself rather as Liu: i;tti ument than tlu: cause of the union w hich has pri;xi!?d in the Inte election. In surmour.ti: g. in f.ivor of my humble prctentiorij, t'nc oifnculties whicli so often produce division in like occurrences, it is obvious that other powciful caus. iodicatitif; the gre:vt Ltrength and stability of our Union, .have essentially conttibutcd to drew you logriher. That these pevverlul causer, tsxist, and that they nie pei mriicnt, is my fixed opinion : that they n ay produce a like accoid in ali questions, Uncl ing, however remote ly, the liberty, prospei ity, and happiness, of our country will always ho the object tf my ij ot fervent prayers to the Suprc ',ic, Author of ali (icod. In a novcrnim nMhich is founded hv t c people, who posscis exclusively tl e sor. unity, it kt eun proper that tin. persen who may be placed by their suffragesin this high tiust, sh.ouid declare, on commencing its duties, the princip es on v hich he intends to conduct the admir.iitration. If the person, thus elected, has served the preceding term, an opportunity is afforded him to review its principal occurrences, and to give such further explanation respecting them as. in hi judgment, may be useful to his constituents. The events of one year have influence on those of another ; and, in like manner of a preceding on the succeeding andministration. The movements of a vxrsat nation arc connected in all their pnrts. If errors have been committed, they ought to be corrected; if the policy is sound, it ought to Uc supposed. It is by a thorough knowledge of the wliole sn'y'ct that our fellow-citizens are cnnbltd to ud;e coriertly of the past, and to give r. proper direction to the future. Just hi f ): e th . c"r,:n''!"-cment of the lut term, the U:ulr;i . i.i'cs had concluded a war v. iih a vci y powerful nation, on conditions equal and honorable to both parties. The events of that war are tro recent, and too deeply impressed cn the memory of all to icrpiirc R deYclopmcnt

from mc. Our commerce had been, in a grca n. tasure, driven fiom the sea; our Atlantic and inland frontiers vre invaded in almosi eveiy part; th; waste of life along our coast, and on some puts of our inland frontiers, to the c.efcnce ct" which our gallant and p&tiiotic citizens were called, wrs immense ; in addition tu which, not less than one l.undted and twenty millions of dollars were added at its end to the public debt. As soon as the war had terminated, the nation, ad:.. onuhed by its events, resolved to pLce :Lseil in a sihufoi , which shomd be bctier calculated to j.revc t the lecunence of a like evil, aid, incite it should lecur, to mitigat: its calamities. With this view, after reducing o : d force to the basis of a peace establishment, which has been fui titer modified, since, provision was made for the construction of fortifications at proper punts, through the whole extent of our toait, and such an augn.entation of our naval force, as should be well adapted to both purposes. The law, maLim; this provision, weie passed in 1815 and 16, and it has been since, the consl.tiit cfioii of the Executive, to cairy them innj elect. The udvaiiUge of th:e fortificamm., and of tin r.umented nava! force, in the extent contemplated, in point of ccoi omy. has Ikcu fuily i.iustrated, by a report ot the Board of Engineers and NmuI Commissioners, lately con n ui.icztt d to Congress, by which it appears, that in an invasion by twenty thouaiil into, uiu- a concbpondent naval force, in a car.r,iirn of six months only, the whole excuse of the conjunction of the vo:U. v; ua be defrayed by the difierei.ee iu the u::i necessary to maintain the focc wiiieh would be adequate to cur ctTt c c w.ih the aid of those norks, and thai which would le incurred uithjtit tlicm. ''!,,. reason of this difference is obviou if ioriificatit;na arf judi i-r , r' f.rj our prcat inlets, as distant from our cities, as ciicuoibtai.ces vnl ji n.e i.i lorm the otdy points ut altar k vui the enemy will be detained there by a smill regular ferce, a sufficient time to c:. able our miiilia to collect, and repair to that on which the'attack is made. A foicc adetjuate to the enemy, collected at tl.st singie point, with suitable pi c p .;u;n for such others as might be menaced, is ali that would be icquiite But, if thero were ::o lortifieatiot.s, then the ei cn y might go where he plea-ed. and, changirjg his position and saiiiug from p!ac;to p!ce, our force must be called ut and spiced in vast nun brs along the whole ccast, and on boMi ?'rits .f tytj lc jr w.d river, as high uji in ech as n might bt navigable for ships of wnr. iiy these foititications, suppoitedby our r.ay.?o which t! cy would afford like stippor:'. wo should present tf) other pewers an cfn.fd front ftom ht. Cioix to tl;e Snb:!.f, wHcli would protect, iu the event of w. r, whi.le coast and interier from invasion; and cven in the wars of other powers, in which we were neutral, they would be found eminently useful, as, by kecj ii their public ships t a distance from cecities, peace ?nd order in them would ho preserved, and tbe government bo protected from insult. It need scarcely be remarked, that thesa measures hire not been resorted
