A strong hope has been long entertained,
‘founded on the heroic struggle of the Greeks,
that they would succeed in their contest, and
resume their equal station among the nations
of the ‘earth. It is believed that the whole
civilized world takes a deep interest in their
welfare, although no power has declared in
their favor. From the facts which have come
to our knowledge, there is good cause to be-
lieve their enemy has lost for ever all tlomiti-
ion over them ; that Greece will becoriie a-
gain an independent nation. That she may
obtain that rank, is the oliject of our" most
ardent wishes. It was stated at the coni-
tnencement of the last session, tliata great
effort was then making in Spain and Portugal
to improve the condition of the people of
those cotintries, and that it appeared to be
condticted with extraordinary _ tuoderation.—
It need scarcely be remarked, that the result
has been, so far, very different from what
was then anticipated. Of events in that quar-
ter ofthe globe, with which we have so much
intercourse, and from which we derive otir
origin, we have always been anxious and in-
terested spectators. The citizens of the U.
States cherish sentiments the most friendly,
in favor ofthe liberty aiul happiness of their
fellow men on that side of the Atlantic. In
the wars of the European powers, in matters
relating to themselves, we have never taken
any part, nor does it comport with our policy
so to do. It is only when otir rights are in-
vaded, or seriously meuaced, that we resent
injuries, or make preparation for our defence.
\\'ith the movements in this hemisphere, we
are, of necessity, nioreiniuiediately connect-
cd, and by causes which must be obvious to
all enlightened and impartial observers. '.l‘lie
political system ofthe allietl powers, is essen-
tially different, in this respect, from that of
America. Tliisdilference proceeds from that
which exists in their respective governments.
-And to the defence of our own, which has
been achieved by the loss of so much blootl
and treasure, and matured by the wisdom of
their most enlightened citizens, and under
which we have enjoyed uncxamplcd felicity,
this whole nation is devoted. We owe it
-‘tlierefore to candor, and to the amicable rela-
tioiisexistiug between the U. States and those
powers, to declare that we should consider a-
ny attempt on their part to extend their sys-
tem to any portion of this liemisphere,- as thirt-
gerous to our peace and safety. Vfitli the ex-
isting colonics or dependencies of any Euro-
pean power, we have not interfered and shall
not interfere. But, with the governments
who have declared their indepeudence,aud
maintained it, and whose independence we
have, on great consideration, and on just prin-
ciples, ackiiowledged, we could not view any
interposition for the purpose of oppressing
1'liem, or coiitrolliiig, in any other uianiiei’,
their destiny, by any European power in any
other light than as the inanifestation ofau iiii-
friendly disposition towards the U. States. In
the war between those new goverutneuts and
Spain, we declared our neutrality at the time
_of their recognition, and to this we have tid-
hered, atid shall continue toadlieie, provided
no change shall occur, which, in the judg-
mentof the competent authorities of this gov-
ernment, shall make a corresponding change,
on the part of the United States, indispensa-
ble to their security.
The late eventsin Spain and Portugal,sliow
that Europe is still unsettled. Oftliis iiiipor-
tant fact, no stronger proof can be adduced,
than that the allied powers should have tho’t
it proper, on any principle satisfactory to
themselves, to liave interposed, by force, in
the in_tei'nal concerns of Spain. To what ex-
tent such interposition may be carried, on the
same principle,is a question in which all inde-
pendent powers, whose governments differ
from theirs, are interested; even those most
remote, and surely none more so than the U.
States. Our policy, in regard to Europe,
which was adopted at an early stage of the
wars,wliicl‘i have so long agitated that quar-
ter of the globe, nevertheless remains the
same, which is not to interferein the internal
coucernsof any ofits powers; to consider the
government dcfrtclo as the legitimate govern-
ment for us; to cultivate friendly relations
with it, and to preserve those relations by a
frank, firm and manly policy, meeting, in all
instances, thejust claims ofcvary power; sub-
mitting to injuries from none. Biit,iii regard
to those ('()l1lll1elllS,' circumstances are ciiiin-
ently and conspicuously (liffercnt. Itis im-
possible that the allied powers should extend
their political system to any portion of either
continents without eiidaiigcring our peace and
happiness: nor can any one believe that our
Southern Brethren, ifleft to tlieinselves,woul(l
adopt it oftlieir own accord. It is equally im-
po.-zsible, tliercforc that we should behold such
interposition, in any form, with iiidilfereiice.
If we look to the comparative strength and
it' obvious that she caninever siibdiie them. I It
-I
1
‘is still thetrue policy of the United States to
leave the parties to themselves, in the hope
that otlierpowers will pursue -the saine'eo‘urse.‘.
If we conipai‘e,,tbe’preseiit condition of our.
Union with its actual “state at the ‘close of our
Revolution, the liistotfy of the world funi:-lies
no example of a progress in improvement in
all the important circumstances which consti-
tute thehappiness of a nation, which bears a-
iiy resemblance to it. At the first epoch, our
population did not exceed 3,000,000. By the
last census it amounted to about 10,000,000,
and, what is more extraordinary, it is almost
altogether native—-‘-for the emigration frotii
other countries has been iiiconsiderable. At
the first epoch, half the territory within our
acknowledged limits was uninhabited and a
wilderness. Since then new territory has been
acquired of vast extent, comprising within it
many rivers, particularly the Mississippi, the
navigation of which to the ocean was of the
highest importance to the ori_-_{inal states. 0-
ver this territory otir population has expanded
in every direction, and new states have been
established, almost equal in number to those
which formed the first bond of our Union.-
This expansion of our population, and acces-
sion of new States to our Union, have had the
happiest clfect on all its liiglic-st. interest. That
it has eminently llltg1lH’llll’(l our rcsourccs,.iiirl
added to our strength and respectability as a
power, is adniitteil by all. But it is not in
these important cirtriiiiistaiices only, that this
happy effect is felt. It is manifest that by eti-
larging the basis of our system and increasing
the number of States, the system itself has
been greatly Sll'Bll__2_llleli(:!_l in both its branch-
es. Coiisolidatioii and disiiiiiou have thereby
been rendered equally impractible. Each go-
vcrunient, cont."-_.'ing in its own strength, has
less to apprc-liciid from the other, and in con-
.°€(‘jllt'?llL‘£", each enjoying a. greater freedom of
action, is rt.-ndered more efficient for all the
purposes for which it was instituted. It is titt-
iiecessary to treat lierc,‘ of the vast improve-
ment iiiade in the system itself, by the adop-
tion of this constitution, and of its happy ef-
fect iii elevating the character,and in protect-
big the rights ofthe nation,'_as well as of indi-
viduals. '.I‘o what then do we owe these bles-
sirigr-. It is known to all, that we derive them
from the excellence of our institutions. Ought
we not then to adopt every measure, which
may be necessary to perpetuate them.

The Message ofthe President is a'«wéll-\vi'it-
-ten:and "interesting paper, and in the view of
many “sineomparably the best he has ever
communicated to Congress.” With one ex-
ception, he has left no subject of interest to‘
the American people,or to tliesfiiends of equal
rights throughout the world, untouched. His
laugiiage is firm and decided on all the points
of difference between us and foreign nations ;
and when alluding to the condtict and designs
ofthe Allies, is exactly such as should he used
by the Chief Magistrate of the nation from
wlieuce those principles flow which of late
have so much annoyed the tyrants of the old
world. How it will be relislied by these Holy
Despots we do not pretend to say, but that it
will find a welcouie in the hearts of every
friend oftrue liberty may be safely affirnied.
The exception mentioned above is tlie_sub-
ject of iuiprisoiuiient for debt. A bill to abol-
ish this detestable systciu was laid before the
last Congress, and after some discussion post-
poned: we could not tlierefore but hope that
the Prcsiilent would follow tliecxample ofthc
Governors of many of the States, and recom-
mend it, ifnothing more, to the cousidcratioii
of the new Congress.
The editors ofthe Nat. Int. think the pres-
ent will be an unusually interesting session;
and they predict the passage, in some shape,
of an act for a moderate increase ofdutics on
certain imported articles, such as woolleus,
cutlery, 8Lc. and express a hope that impris-
onment for debt will be abolished.

olatioii ofthose rights by Spain, and the suf-
ferings they liave endured in obtaining their
independence. —Two French gentlemen

int: claims; which, as the first of December
approaclies, seem to multiply. The claim of
the Duke of Alagon has been rejected. It
was upon the ground that it was slitit out by
the Treaty. The claimants objected, thattho’
there was an article annexed to the Treaty
that intended an exclusion ofthe Duke ofAl-
agon froui his claim, yet as this clause was on-
l_v the act of the King,witliout the concurrence
of the Cortes, it did not invalidate the instru-
iiieut by which the Duke held his possessions

PATENT IMPROVEMENT FOR COL-
ORING HATS,
‘HE Macliitie ofwliicli consists ofa wheel
tiiade of plank, which is put into a semi-
circular kettle, improved for the purpose, the
axle of the wheel resting on the sides ofthe
kettle, and the wheel rolling round perpendic-
ular to the horizon. The method of using
this machine is to hang the hats, when b|ock’d,
on each side ofthe wheel, by means of pegs,
until you have filled one half of the wheel,
then they are iimiierst into the liquor prepared
for that purpose : next fill the other part of
the wheel, which is then iiiiniers’d, and turn
the others out, when sufiiciently boiled,to cool,
which may be done as often as is tho’t proper,
until the hats are snfiiciently coloured. The
security of the hats from damage, and the sa-
ving of more than nine-tenths oflabor, time,
health, ‘and cleanliness, to the colotirist,
must convince the beholder that it excels any
thing heretofore known. The President of
the U. States has granted me a patent for this
iinprovcuient. ; the public are therefore can-
tioned against inakiug, using,and vending the
said patented improveinent, which Iam ready
to sell to individuals for using, on reasonable
terms, in Daiibtiry, Conn. where the macliiue
can be seen in operation. All orders thank-
fully received and punctually attended to.
