and Ganals, whit:h during the last three ses-
si'ons‘ofCotigre.ss have engaged so lunch of
their attention, atid may engross so large a
share cftlie future benefactious to our country.
By the act ofthe 30th of April, l8°.Z4 sug-
gested and approved by my predecessor, the
sum of80 thousand dolls. was appropriated for
the purpose ofcausing to be made the ueces—'
sary surveys, plans, and estimates, of tlie_
rou.es of such roads and canals as the Presi-
dent of the U. S. might deem ofriational iin
portaiice in a coinuierci:-il or military point of
iew, or necessary -for the transportatioii ofthe
public t'nail—-the surveys, plans, and estitnrites
tor 'eacii, wheticotnpleted, to be laid before
Congress.
Iii. execution ofthis act, a Board of En-
giiicers was iiiiiiiediately itistituted.and have
been since most assidiiotisly and constantly
occupied in caryiiig it into effect. The first
‘object to which their labors were directed, by
order ofthe late President, was the examina-
tion of the country between the tide waters of
the Potomac, the Ohio, and Lake Erie, to as-
certain the practicability ofa comiiiuiiication
between. them, designate the most suitable
route for the same and to form plans and es-
timates in detail ofthe expense ofexecution.
On the SKI of February, 1825, they made
their first repo;t, which was iuiinediately coin-
tiiuiiicated to Congress, and in which they
declared that. having maturely considered
the circumstances observed by them personal
iy, and carefully studied the results of such of
the preliminary surveys as were then comple-
ted. they were decidedly of opinion that the
‘cumtniinicatiori was practicable.
-r At the last session of Congress,‘ before the
Board of Engineers were enabled to make up
their second report, containing a general
plan. and preparatory estimate for the ivmlt.
the Committee ofthe House of Representa-
tives upon Roads and Canals, closed the ses-
sion with a report, expressing the hope that
the plan and estimate of the Board of litigi-
iieers might at this time be prepared, 8:. that
the subject be referred to the early and favor-
able consideration ol'Congress at their present
session. That expected Report of the Board
of Engineers is prepared, and will foi"liwiili
be laid before yoti. ' -
Under the resolution of Congress, authoris-
ing the Secretary of War to have prepared a
doinplete system ofCavalry Tactics ofthe U.
St'ates,,to be reported to Congress at the pre-
-sent se.ssion—a Board of tlistingttishetl Odi-
cers of the Army, and of the Militia, has been
convened, whose Report will be subiiiittcd to
you, with that ofthe Secretary of War. The
-occasion was thought favorable for consulting
the same Board, aided by tlieresults ofa cor-
respondence with the Governors of the sev-
mi States and Territories, and other citizens
ofintelligence and experience, upon the ac-
ltiiowledgcd defective condition of our Militia
system. and upon the iinproveinetits of which
it is susceptible. The report of the Board
trponthis subject isaiso submitted for your
consideration.
Inthe estimatesof appropriations for the
‘ensuing year, upwards of five ttiilliom 0fd0l~
1-at-5 will be subuiitted for. the expenditures to
. T
be paid front the Department of W at. Less
tliari two-fifths of this will be applicable to
the maintenance-and support of the Army.-
A million and a half, in the form ofpensiotie‘.

vices and sacrifices ofa foriner ago; and a
more than equal siitn, invested in fortificatioiis,

merit, provides for the quiet, the coiulort, and
the happier existence ofthe ages to coins..-—
The appropriations toindemnify those unfor-
tiinate ‘remnants nfanotlier race, uiialilcalilte
to share in the enjuyrnents, and to exist in the
presence of civilization, tho’ swelling in re-
cent years to a magnitude burdeI1S0fl‘I8 10 llle
Treasury,are generally not without their e-
quivalents, in profitable value; or serve to
discharge the Union froui engagements more
burdensome than debt. .
In like iuauner, the‘ estimate of appropria-
tions rm the Navy Department will present
an aggregate sum ofupwards ofthree millions
ofdollars. About one balfofthese, however,
cover the current expenditures of the Navy
in actual service, anti one half coiistitntes a
fund of national property, the pledge of our
future glory and defence. It was scarcely
one short year after-the close of the late war.
and when the burden of its expenses and
charges was weigliing heaviest tipon the
country, that Congress, by the.a_ct_ of flilth of
April, 1816, appropriated one million o.’ dol-
lars annually, for eight years, to the gradual
increase ofthe Navy. At a subsequent period
this annual appropriation, was reduced to halt
.a million for six years, of which the present
‘year is the last. Ayet more recent appro-
niiation the last two years for building ten
sloops of liver, has nearly restored the origin-
al appropriation ofl8l6,ofa million for eve-
any year. The result is before us all. We
have 12’. line of-battle Ships, twenty Frigates,
and Sloapg or'.\va'r,'in proportion ;_which,wiiii
«It few tnontlis of preparation, may present a
line-offloatirag fOl‘lIf:CaIl0llS along the witch:
‘range of our coast, ready to meet any invader
who might attempt to set foot upon our shores:
Combining with a system of fortifications up-
on the shores theiiiselves, commenced about
the same tiriie under the auspices of my im-
mediate predecessor, and hitherto s'ystemiitic-
ally pursued, it has placed in our possession
the tnoste-ffective sinews of war,and has left
at once an example and a lessoti, frotn which
our oivn duties may be inferred. The strad-
ual increase ofthe Navy was the principle of
which the act ofSL9th April, I818, was the first
developement. It was the introduction of a
.system_to act upon the character and history
ofour country for an indefinite series of ages.
It was a declaration oftiiat Congress to their
constituents and to posterity. that it was the
destiny and the duty of these confederated
States, to become, in regular process oftime,
and by no petty advances, a great Naval Pow-
er. That which they proposed to accomplish
in eight years,‘is rather to be considered as
the measure oftheir means, than the limita-
tiqn of their design. They looked forward
for a term of years sufficient for the accom-
plishment ofa definite portion of their pur-
pose ; and they left to their successors to fill
tip the canvass of which they had traced the
large and prophetic outline. The ships ofthe
line, and frigates, which they had in contem-
platiou, will be shortly completed.
The time whichthcy liad allotted for the ac-
complishment of the -work has’ time than
elapsed. Itrcniaiiis for your coiisideratioti
liowtlieir successors may contribute their
portion oftoil and of treasure fdr the benefit.
of the succeeding age. in the gradual increase
ofotir Navy. There is. perhaps, no part of
the exercise ofthe Constitutional Powers of
the Federal Government, which has 'ven
more general satisfaction to the People 0 the
Union, than this. The system has not been
thus vigorously introduced, and hitherto sus-
tained, to be now departed from, or abandon-
ed. Iii continuing to provide for the gradual
iticrease ofotir Navy, it may not be necessary
or‘ expedient to add for the present any more
to the number ofour ships ; but sliotild yob
deeui it advisable to continue the yearly ap-
ropriation ofhalfa million to the satiie ob-
JPCIS, it may be profitably expended in provi-
ding a supply oftiuiber to be seasoned, and
other tnaterials for futtiie ‘use ‘, in the con-
struction ofdocks.or in laying the foundations
ofa School for Naval Education, as to the
wisdom ofC'ongress either ofthose tneasures
may appear to claim the preference.
Of the small portions ofthis Navy engaged
in actual service during the peace, squadrons
have continued to be maintained in the Pa-
cific Ocean, in the West India Seas, and in
the Mediterranean‘; to which has been added
a small armament, to cruise outhe Eastern
Coast of South America. In all they have
afforded protection to our commerce, have
contributed to make our country advanta-
geously known to foreign nations, have hon-
orably employed mt'il‘itttdes of our seamen in
the service oftheir country, and have etiured
numbers ofyouths of the rising geucratioii to
lives ofiiianly liardiliood and ofuautical expe-
rieiice and skill. The piracies with which
the West India Seas were for several years
infested, have been totally suppressed. But,in
the Mediterraiiean, they haveincreased in a
manner affiictive to other nations, and but for
the continual presence of our squadron,would
probably have been distressing to our own,-—
The war which has unfortunately broken out
between the Republic of Buetios Ayres and
the Brazilian Government, has given rise
to very great irregularities among the Naval
Officers of the latter, by wliotn principles in
relation to blockades, and to neutral naviga-
tion, have been brought forward, to which we
cannot subscribe, anti which our own Coin-
manders have found it necessary to resist.-
From the friendly disposition towards the
United States constantly manifested by the
Eiiipeior of Brazil, and the very useful
and friendly commercial intercourse between
the U. S. and his dotiiiiiions, we have reason
to believe that the just reparation demanded
for the injuries sustained by several ofour citi-
zens froui sotne of his officers, will not be
withheld. Abstracts from the recent de-
spritclies ofCominritiders ofour several squad-
rons are cotnmuriicated with the Report of the
Secretary ofthe Navy to Congress.
A Report from the Postmaster General is
likewise coinmunicatcd,presenting ina liiglily
satisfactory niatiner the result ofa vigorous.
efficient, and economical administration of
that Department. The revenue ofthe office,
even tifthe year including the latter half of
182-1», $1. ofthe first halfof I825, had exceeded
its expenditures by a sum of more than forty-
five thousand dollars. That ofthe succeeding
year has been still more productive. The iii-
crease ofthe receipts, in the year preceding
the first ofJtily last,pver that of the year be-
fore, exceeds one liuntlretl and thirtysix thou-
sand dollars, anti the excess of the receipts
over the expenditures of the year has swollen
fr. forty five thousand to nearly eighty tlioii-
sand dollars. Duriiig the same period, con-
tract-'8 for additiniial transportation ofthe mail,
in stages, for ahotit two hundred and sixty
thousand miles, have been made, and for sev-
enty thousand miles, annually, on horseback.
Seven hundred and fourteen new post ofiices
have been established within the year; and
the increase ofrevenue within the last three
years, as well as the augmentation ofthe
transportation by mail, is more than equal to
the whole amount of receipts, and of mail
coiiveyance, at the coinineticemeut ofthe
present century, when the seat ofthe General
Governments was removed tothis place.-
When we reflect that the objects effected by
the transportatioti of the mail are among the
choicest comforts and enjoyznents ufsocial
life it is pleasing to observe, that the dissein
ination of them to every corner ofour country
has outstripped in their increase even the rapid
tiiarcli of our population.
By the Treaties with France and Spain,
respectively ceding Louisiana aiid‘the Flori-
das to the U. States, provision was made for
tlie security ofland titles derived from the
Govern ents oftliuse nations. Soine progress
has been made, under the authority of various
Acts of Congress, in the ascertainment and
eglabllfihlnenl of those titles : but claiins to a
very large extent remain unadjusted. The
public faith, no less than the just rights of
im]ividuals,and the interest of the coinmiinity
itself, appears to require further provision for
the speedy settlement ofthese claims, which]
therefore recorritneiid to the care and attention
of the Legislature.
In ctinformity.-witli the provisions ofthe act-
of20lli May last, ..-,to, provide for erecting a
Penitentiary in the District ofColumbia,and
for other purposes, three coinmissioners were
appointed to select a site for the erection-ol a
Penitentiary for the District. and also it site
in the county ofAlex-andria for a county jail;
both of which objects have been effected.-—
Tbe building of the Penitentiary has been
commenced, and is in such a degree of for-
wardness as to promise that it will be com-
pleted before the meeting of the next Con-
gress. This consideration points to the ex-
pediency of maturing, at the present session,
a system for the iegtilation and sgoverrinient
got the penitentiary, and of defining the class-
of offences which shall be punishable by con-
finement in this edifice.
In closing this communication, Itriist that
it will not be deemed inappropriage to the
occasion and purposes upon which we are
here assembled, to indulge a momentary
retrospect, combining, in a single glance, the
period ofour origin as a National Confedera-
tion with that of our present existence, at the
precise interval of halfa century frpm each
other. Since your last meeting at this place,
the Fiftieth Anniversary of the day when our
Independence was declared, has been cele-
brated throughout our land; and on that day.
when every heart was bounding with joy, and
every voice was ttined to gratulation, amid the
blessings of Freedom which the sires of a
former age had handed down to their children,
two ofthe principal actors in that solemn
scene, the hand that penned the ever memor-
I
K
fable Dedlaratibnt, and the that sustained
it in debate, were", by one summons, at the
distance ofseven hundred miles from’ each
othbr, called before thejudge ofall, to account
lfor ihe deeds dune tipoii the earth. They
departed cheered by the bnnedictions of their
country, to whom rhry left the inheritano of
their fame, arid the tneniory oftheir country.
bright example. If we turn our thoughts
to the condition oftheir country, in the con-
trast ofthe first 3: last day ofthathalfcentury,
how resplendent and sublime is the transition
from gloom to glory! Then glancing tbrougli
the same lapse oftime in the condition of the
individuals, we see the first day marked with
the fulness and vigor ofyouth, in the_ pledge
of their lives, their fortunes,aiid sacred honor,
to the cause of fredom and ofniankind. And
on the last,exteiided on the bed ofdeath,with
but sense and -sensibility left to breathe a last
aspiration to Heaven of blessing upon their
country; may we not humbly hope that to
them, too, it was a pledge of transition from
gloom to glory; and that while their mortal
vestnients were sinking into the clotl of the
valley, their emancipated spirits were ascend-
ing to the bosom of their God !

The Message.-»-We are not surprised to
find that this valuable paper meets with such
a decided approbation from all parties. It is
a faithful and intelligible expose of our rela-
tions, both foreign and domestic, and while it
will give pain to the despots of the old world,
must rejoice the hearts and strengthen the
patriotism of the inhabitants ofthe new, as
well in our sister'Republics as our own. It
is made up of a plain and unvariiished state-
ment of facts interesting and iinportaut to be
known, and expressed in language chaste and
eloquent without " affectation or poinposity.”
Even Mr. Noah condescends to speak ofit as
“ not discreditablc to the talents of Mr. Ad.
ants, and likely to give general satisfaction,”
although he finds some little fault with what
he calls the eulogy tipon the Emperor Alex-
antlenand attributes the difficiilties with Great
Britain to Mr. A's love of Diplouiacy. This
charge is, however, no more tiian we expect .
ed, for we have heard it before from the same
quarter; but so long as it is made without the
shadow ofan attempt to substantiate it, it will
pass, with the rest of Mr. Noah’s sayings, for
what it is worth. lVitli many others we tliiuk
we see in the course which the British gov-
ernnietit has adopted towards this country,aud
in the difficulties she has thrown in the way
ofa settlement of the questions which are at
issue between the two nations, something of
ihat spirit of stubbornness and liaiiglitiiiess
which has already cost her the loss of so much
reputatioii, treasure and blood. And it may
cost her more——‘for‘ it is by no means certain
that snttiethiiig more tliaii a tvar ufwords will
not yet grow out oftliese questions. It can be
coiisidered littleelse than a preiiiedit.ited iri-
sult perciiiptorily to exclude us from privile-
ges which she grants to others.
We shall look with ititerest to the lll6flSl)t‘."5
to be adopted by Congress in regard to this
matter, as alsoto those called forbytlie refusal
ofthe Freiicli goveriitnent to satisfy our just
claims for the " millions and tens oftiiillions
taken frriiti our citizetis, by the lawless acts
ofNapoletiii, and converted, in inauy cases,
witliotit the color of law, to the use of the
French govcrnuietit”—-and refused too “ after
every petty priiicipality in Europe has been
paid, and tiiore than paid.”
