fenced, and is not? in progress, tho reault of which will, if successful, be also Submitted to the Senate for their consideration. Since the accession of the Emperor Nicholas to the Imperial throne of all the Russias, the friendly dispositions towards the United States, constantly manifested by his predecessor, have continued unabated, and they have been recently testified by the appointment of a Minister Plenipotentiary to reside at this place. From the interest taken by this Sovereign in behalf of the suffering Greeks, and from the spirit with which others of the great Eu ropean powers arc co-operating with him, the friends of Ireedom and humanity may indulge the hope, that they will obiai.n relief from the most unequal Conflicts, tfhich they have so long and so gallantly sustained ; that they will enjoy the blessing of self-government, which, by their sufferings in the cause of liberty, they have richly earned; and that their independence will be secured by those liberal institutions, of which their country furnished the earliest examples in the history of mankind, and which have consecrated to immortal remembrance the very soil for which they are now again profusely pouring forth theu blood The symp nthies which the people 6c government of the United Stales have so warmly indulged with their cause, have been acknow. ledged by their government, in a letter of thanks, which 1 nave received fiom their illustrious President, a translation of iv hied is now communicated to Congress1, the Representatives of that nation to tv horn that tribute of gratitude was to be paid, and to whom it was justly due. I he American hemisphere, the cause of freedom and independence has continued to prevail; and if signalized by none of those splendid triumphs which had crowned with glory some of the preceding

years, it has only been from the banishment of all external force against which the struggle had been maintained. The shout ot victory has been superseded by the expulsion of the enemy over whom it could have been achieved. Our friendly wishes and cordial good will, which have constantly followed the southern nations of America in all the vicissitudes of their war of independence, are succeeded by a solicitude, equally ardent and cordial, that by the wisdom and purity ot her institutions, they may secure to themselves the choicest blessings of social order, and the best rewards of virtuous liberty. Disclaiming alike all right and all intention of interfering in those concerns which it is the prerogative of their independence to regulate as to them shall scein fit, we hail with joy every indication of their prosperity, of their harmony, of their perseering and inflexible homai; to those principles of freedom and equal tights, which are alone suited to the genius and temper of the American nations. It has been therefore with some concern that vc have observed indications of intestine divisions in some of the republics ol" ihe south, and appearances of less union with one another, ' hat wo believe to hr the intct est of all. Among the reu'ts of this state of things has b" mi thai 'be treaties concluded at Panama do hoi app; at to have been tatified by the contracting parties, and that (he meeting of ' tie Congress at Tacubay has been indefinitely postponed. In accepting the invitation to be represented at this Congress, while a manifestation was intended on the part of the United States, of the most friendlv dispositions towards the southern republics by whom it had brci proposed.it was hoped that it would furnish an opportunity for bringing all the nations of this hemisphere to the common acknowledgment and a'doption of the principles, in the regulation of their international relations, which would have secured 3 lasting peace ami harmony between them, and have promoted the cause of mu'ual benevolence throughout the globe. Cut as obstacles appenr to have aricn to the re -assembling of the Congress, one of the two Ministers commissioned on the part of the United States Ins returned to the bosom of bis country, while the Minister charged with the ordinary mission to Mexico remains authorized to attend at the conferences of the Congress whenever they may be resumed. A hope was for a short time entertained, that a treaty of peace, actually signed between the governments of Buenos Avres and Brazil, would supercede all further occasion for those collisions between belligerent pretensions and neutral rights, which are so commonlv the result of maritime war, and which have unfortunately disturbed thr harmony of the relations between the United States and the B azittan governments At their last ses sion, Congress were informed that some of the naval officers of that empire had advanced and practised upon principles in relation to b'ockrules and to neutral navRation, nhjch we could not sanction, and

which our commanders found it neccssa-1 of all classes throughout the Union for 1 to resist.

which seemed as if emanating immediately from that government itselt, the Charge d'AfTairs of the United States, under an impression that his representations in behalf of the rights and interests ot his countrymen were totally disregarded and useless, deemed it his duty, without waiting for instructions, to terminate his oillcial functions, to demand his passports, and returned to the United States. This movement, dictated by an honest zeal for the honor and interests of his country J motives which operated exclusively upon the mind of the officer who resorted to it, has not been disapproved by me. The

Brazilian government, however, com plained of it as a measure lor which no ad

In the meantime, an alleviation from the burden of the public debt will, in three years, have been effected, to the amount bt nearly sixteen millions, and the charge of annual interest will have been reduced upwards of one million. But among the maxims of political economy which the Stewards of the public moneys should never suffer without urgent necessity to be transcended, is that ol keeping the ex pendituiesof the year within the limits of its icceipts The appropriations of the two lasi years, including the yeaily ten millions of the sinking fund, have equal led the promised icventie of the ensuing year.

to that country has beenMssued, which it is hoped will entirely restore the or dinary diplomatic intercourse between the two governments, and the friendly relations between their respective nations. Turning from the momentuous concerns of our Union, in its intercom se with foreign nations, to those of the deepest interest in the administration of our internal affairs, we find the revenues of the

present year corresponding as neatly as might be expected lo (he anticipations of the last, and presenting an aspect still more favourable in the promise of the next. The balance in the Treasury, on the first of January last, was six millions three hundred k fifty-eight thou sand six hundred and eighty-six dollars and eigteen cents. The receipts from that day to the 30th of September last, as near as the returns of them yet received can Show, amount to sixteen millions eight hundied and eighty six thousand five bun d:ed and eighty-one dollars and thirty two cents The receipts of the present quarter, estimated at lour millions ffve hundred and fifteen thousand, added to the a hove, toim an aggtegate of twenty one millions four hundred ihousand dollars of receipts. The expendituics of the year may ptrhaps amount to twenty-two millions tfnee hundred thousand dollars, presenting a small excess over the receipts. But. ol these twenty millions, upwards of six have been applied to the dieharge of the principal ot the public debt ; the whole amount of which, approaching sev- ! enty four millions on the first of January

last, will, on the first day of next year, lall short of sixty seven millions and a half. The balance in the Treasury, on thefitst of Januaty next, ii is expected will exceed five millions four bundled and fifty thou sand dollars ; a sum exceeding that of the first of Januaty, 1 825, though falling short of that exhibited on the first of Januaiy last. It Was foreseen that the revenue of the present year would no equal that of the last, which had itself been less than that of the next preceding year. But the hope ha been realized which was entertained, that these deficiencies would in no wise interrupt the steady opet ation of the dis charge of the public debt by the annual ten millions devoted to that object by the act of 3d March, 1817. The amount of du.ies secured on merchandize imported from the commencement of the year until the 30th of Sept last, is twenty one millions two hundied and twenty-six thousand, and the probable amount of that which will be secuted during the remainder of the year, is five millions seven hundred k seventy four thousand dollars ; forming a sum total of twenty-seven millions With the allowanccs for drawbacks and contigent deficiencies which may occur, though not specifically foreseen, we may salely estimate the leceipts of the ensuing year at twenty-two millions three hundred thou sand dollars ; a revenue for the next, cqual to the expenditure of the present year.
