Pillow Citizens rf the Smatc and House of Representatives: The representation of the people nas been renewed for the twenty -second time sincethe constitution they formed has been in force. For near half a century, the chief magistrates, who have been successively chosen have made their annual communications ot the state of the nation to its repi esentativ es Generally, these communications have bee;: of the most gratifying nature, testifying an advance in all the improvements of social, and all the securities of political life, but frequently, and justly, as y ou have been called on to lie grateful for the bounties of Providence, at fe w periods have they been more abundantly or extensively bestowed than at the nresent: ratelv. if ever, have we had greater reason to congratulate each other on the continued and increasing prosperity of our beloved country. Agriculture, the first and most impcr tant occupation of man, has compensated the labors of the husbandman with plentiful Crops of all the varied products of our extensive country. Manufactories have been established, in whkh the funds of the capitalist find a profitable investment, and which give employment and subsistence to a nu merous and increasing-body of industrious and dextei Gus mechanics. The labourer is regarded by high wages, in the construction of woiks of internal improvemen;, which are extending with unprecedented rapidity. Science is steadilv penetrating the recesses rf nature and disclosing her secrets, while the ingenuity of free minds is liUbj-Cting the elements to the power ot man, and making each new conquest auxitliaiv to his comfort.

This vernment kept us in a state of neutrality r'.u- j hope has been realized. A Treaty lias born

timr the wars that have, at a.Ifjrent periods since our political existence, been carried on by other powers; but this policy, w hile it gave activity ar.d extent to ( ur commerce, exposed it in the same proportion to injuries from the beliget cnt nations. Hence have arisen claims of indemnity for those injuries. England, France, Spain, Holland, Sweden, Denmark, Naples, and lately Portugal, had all in a greater or less degree infringed our neutral rights. Demands for reparation were made upon all. They have had in all, and continue to have hi some cases, a leading influence on the nature of our relations with the powers on whom they were made. Of the claims upon England it is unnecessary to speak, further than to say, that the state of things to w hich their prosecution and denial gave rise has been succeeded by arrangements, productive of mutual good feeling and amicable relation between the two countries-: which it is hoped will not be interrupted. One of these arrangements is tnat relating to the colonial trade, which was communicated to Congress at the last session; and although the short period durii g which it has been in force will not enable me to form an accurate judgment cf its operation, there is every reason to believe that it will prove highly beneficial. The trade therebv authorised has employ ed, to the 30th September last, upwards cf oO.OOO tons ot American, nnd 15,000 tons of loreign shipping in the outward voyages; and, in the inward, nearly an equal amount ot American, and 20,000 onlv of foreign toonaee. Advantages, too. hav e resulted to our agricultural interests from the state of the trade between Canada and our Territories and States bordering on tiie St. Lawrence and the Lakes, which may prove more than equivalent to the loss sustained by the discrimination made to favour the trade of the Northern colonies with the West Indies. After our transition from the state cf colonics to that of an independent nation, many points were found necessary to be settled between us and Great Britain. Among them was the demarcation of boundaries, not described with sufficient precision in the Treaty of Peace. Some of the lines that divide the States and Territories of the United States from the British Provinces, have been definitively fixed. '1 hat, however, which separates us from the Provinces of Canada and New Brunswick to the North and the East, was still in dispute when I came into office. But I found arrangements made for its settlement, over which I had no control. The commissioners who hp.d been appointed under the provisions of the I'reatv of Ghent, having been unable to agree, a convention was made with Great Britain by my immediate predecessor in office, with the adv ice and consent of the Senate, by which it was agreed "that the points of difference which have arisen in the settlement of the boundary line between the American and Bi itish dominions, as described in the 5th Article of the Treaty of Ghent, shall be referred as therein provided, to some friendly sovereign or state, who shall be invited to investigate, and make a decision upon such points of difference;" and the King of the Netherlands having, by the late President and his Britanic Majesty, been designated as such friendly sovereign, it became my duty to carry, with gord faith, the agreement so made into full effect. To this end I caused all the measures to be taken which were necessary to a full exposition cf our case to the Sovereign Aibiter; and nominated as Minister Plenipotentiary to his court, a distinguished citizen of the State most interested in the questh n, and who had b'en one of the agents previously employ eel for settling the controversy. On the 10 li day of January last. His Majesty i he K g of the Netherlands delivered to the P'f nipotentia. ies of the United States. rttid of Great Britain, his written opinion on the case referred to him. The papers in relation to the subject will be communicated, bv a special mtssage, to the proper branch of tin Government, with the perfect confirmee that its wisdom will adopt such measures as will secure an amicable settlement of the controversy, without infiingii'g any constitutional right of the States immtdii atelv ihterested. It .'.ifu'ds me satisfiction to inform Vou State ( f M une, at a place in the disputed Territory under the actual jurisdiction of his Britanic Majesty. From this, and the assurances I h:ive rerriv-d of the desirp of the loc.d authoiilies to avoid anv cause of collision, I have the best hopes that a good uiKierstarumnr win oe kept up until it is -i confirmt d bv the final disposition of the su'ut ci I he amicable r elations vvliicli now su'sU: ; bttvvecnthe United Mates rod (;reat Hni t tin. the lncre.isi:;; intercourse jetw cen i their citizon, ind the ranid obliteration of unfricdly pr;jndiCwS to which former events naturally gave rise concurred to prtstut this is a fit period for renewing our eiule.iv. rs to prov ide ag lipst the recurrence . . ... v , . . i.

Bv it. the Trench Government en gage to pay a sum which, if r.t quite t rpid to that which may be found due to ur citizens, will yet, it is believed, under all circumstances, be deemed s itisfactery y tho-e interested. Theefk-r of a gss sum. instead of the satisfaction rf each individual claim, was accepted, because the only al ternatives were a rigorous exaction of the whole amount stated to be due on each j claim, winch might, in some instances, be exaggerated by design, in others overrated through error, and which therefore it woul have heen both ungracious and in just to have insisted on, or a settleme' t by a mixed commission, to which the French negotia tors were very averse, and which experience in other cases had shewn to be tlilato ry, and often wholly inadequate to the end. A comparatively small sum is stipulated on our part, to go to the extinction of all claims by French citizens on our Government: and a reduction of duties on cur Cot ton and their W ines has been agreed on, as a consideration for the renunciation of an important claim for commercial privileges, under the construction they gav e to the treaty for the cession of Louisiara. Should this Treaty receive the proper sanction, a source of irritation will be stop ped, that has, for so many yen s, in some degree alienated from each other, tw o nations, who from interest, as well as the remembrance of early associations, ought to cherish the most friendly relations. an encouragement will be given for pc i severance in the demands of justice, by this new proof, that, if steadilv pursued, they will be listened to and admonition will be offered to those Powers, if any, which may be in clined to evade them, that they will never be abandoned. Abqve nil, a just confidence will be inspired in our fellow citizens that their Government will exert all the powers with which they have invest d it, in support of their just claims upon Foreign nations; at the same time that the frariK acknowledgement and provision fir the payment of those which were addressed to our equity, although unsupported by legal proof, affords a practical illustration of our submission to the divine rule of doing toothers what we desire they should do unto us. Sweden and Denmark having made compensation for the irregularities committed by their vessels, or in their ports, te the perfect satisfaction of the parties concerned; and having renewed the Treaties of Commerce entered into with them, our political and commercial relations with those Powers continue to be on the most friendly footing. With Spain, our differences up to the 22d of February, 1819, were settled bv tiie Treaty of Washington of that date; but at a subsequent period, our commerce with the States, formerly colonies cf Spain, on the continent of America, was annoyed and frcquentlv interrupted bv her public and private armed ships. I hey captured many ot our vessels prosecuting a lawful commence. and sold them and their cargoes; and at outtime, to our demands for restoration and indemnity, opposed the allegation, that they were ta';en in the violation of a bh-rka-'eof all ports of those States. This blockade was declaratory only, and the inadequacy of the force to maintain it, was so manifest, that this allegation w s varhd to a cha ge of trade in contraband rf war. This, in its turn, was also fxmd untenable; and the minister whom I sent with instructions to press for the reparation that was due to r ur injuted fellow -citizens, has transmitted an answer to his demand, by which the captures are declared to hav been legal, and are justified, because the independence ot the States of America never Inn ing been acknowledged by Spain, she had a right to prohibit trade with them under hr old colonial laws. This griiund ot defence was contradictory, not only to those which had heen formerly alleged, but to the uniform prac tice and established laws rf nations; and had been abandoned bv Spain herself in the convention which granted indemnity to British subjects for captures, made at the same time, under the same circumstances, rmd for the same allegations with those of which we complain. I however indulge ;he hope that further reflection will lead to other views, and feel confident that when I lis Catholic Majesty shall be convinced t f the justice ot the claim, his deirc to preserve friendly relations between the tw o countries, which it is my earnest endeavor to maintain, will induce him to accede to our demand. I have f.hei efo.ic despatched a special messt neer t with instructions to our Minister to brine the case(nce more to his consideration; to the end that if, w hich I cannot bri: g my self to believ e, the same decNi'vi, that carm. t l?ut be deemed an unfriendly deni;d of justice, should be persisttd in, the natter may, befire v our djonrnrr.ent.

In the late blockade of Terctira, scmerf the Portuguese fleet raptured several of our vessels and committed other excesses for which reparation was demanded; and I was on the point rf despatching an armed force, to pievent any recurrence of a similar violence and piotect our citizens in the proecution of their lawful commerce, when official assurances on which I relied, made the sailing of the ships unnecessary. Since that period frequent promises have been made that full indemnity shall be given for the injuries inflicted and the losses sustained In the performance there has been some, perhaps unavoidable, delay ; but I hav e the fullest confidence that my earnest desire that tins busir,es may at once be clostel. which our Minister has been instructed strongly to express, will very soon be gratified. I have the better ground for this hope, from the evidence of a friendly disposition which that gov eminent has shewn by an actual reduction in the duty on rice, the produce of our Southern States, authorizing the anticipation that this important article of our export will soon be admitted on the sanre footing with that produced by the most favored nation. With the other powers rf Fur ripe, we have fortunately had no cause of discussions for the redtrss rf ii juries. With the Empire of theUusias, our political connexion is of the m .st friendly, and our commercial, of the most liberal kind. We erjoy the advantages cf navigation and trade, given to thr most favored nation: but it has not yet suited their policy, or pel haps has not been found convenient from other considerations, to e,ive stability xnd reciprocity to those privileges, by a commercial Treaty. The ill health of the Minuter last year charged with making a proposition for that arrangement, did not permit him to remain at St. Petersburgh; and the attention rf that gov ernment, during the whole of the period since his departure, having been occupied by the war in which it was engaged, we have been assured that nothn g could have been effected by his presence. A Minister will soon be nominated, as well to effect this important object, as to keep up the relations r-f amity ar.d good nuclei standing of which we have received so many assurances and proofs from His Imperial Majesty and the hmperor his pt edecessor. The treaty with Austria is opening to us an important tiade with the heredita ry dominions of the Emperor, the value of which has been hitherto liule known, and of course not sufficient y appreciate eel.
