To iht SenMs tmi.Houtt of
Sepristntativts of ths U. States:
-f Ws haconlinued reasons to ezptess
our profound gratitude, to the great. Creator
of all things far numberless benefits confer
red upon us as a People. Blessed with
genial seasons,the husbandman has his gar
ners filled with abundance, and the. neces
saries of life, not to speak of, its luxuries,
abound in every direction. While in some
other nations steady and industrious labor
can linrdly-find the means of subsistence.tho
greatest evil which we have to encounter.ik
a lutplus of production beyond the home,
deiasnd, which seeks, arid twith .difficulty
finds,a partial market in other regions, ''flit

Such are the circumstances under which
'yon now assemble in your respective cham

praise and thanksgiving to that great Being
who made'us, and who preserves us a na
tion .1 congratulate you, fel!ow-citizeny,on..the
happy change in the aspect of pur 'foreign
affairs since .my last annual mesjage.Cauees
of 'compfaint at that time' existed between
the United Slates and Gieat Britain, w)iich,
attended1 by irritating cneumMances, threat
ened niost' seriously the public1 peace. The
difficulty of adjusting amicably the 'ques
tions Tit issue, between the two' couutries,
was in no small degree augmented ,by the
.lapse of time since they had their origin,-
The' opinions entertained by theJ exec'utiv'p
wi several of-the leading topics' in .dispute,
"were frankly set forth in the Message,at.tiie
openlngpf your late session The appoint
mvnt'ofa special minister by Great Hritaio

indicated a desire on tier pari amicably to
ailjiKi them, and that minister was met by
tlie Executive in the same spirit which had
dictated his mission. .The' Treaty conse
quent tliereon, hiving been duly ratified by
'the two Governments, a copy, together willi
the coirepondence wliirh accompanied, il.ls
herewith, communicated. I, trust' that whilst
yon may' see in' it nothing objectionable, it
'ay,be the, means of preserving, for an in
definite period, the arpicable relations .hap
pily existing between the' two governments,

Uaiicd'States and Great Britain, is a ques

tlivmielves, but to the. civilized world,sin,ce
ft ig .tarccly poible ihaia war could exist
betvyren iheg, without, endangering the
ipeare sf, Christendom. The immediate ef
fect of the Treaty upon ourselves, will be
felt in ihe security afforded to mercantile
enterprise, which,. no longer apprehensie
of interruption, adventntes, jls speculations

iihtttivtisifisd productions of every laid,
'returns ui bless nurown. There la nothing
in tha Treaty which, in the sliehtost deeree
romprumtts the honoi or dignity .of either
nation. Neit'lo the settlement of the boun-
'dary line, which"rriusl always be a matter of
uwcuiiy Dctween otates fi oetween inoi
vidnals, tha question which seemed -to
tlltealerVrtliB ereateit embairassment, was
()lit cinneeif with tha. Afusan slave trade .
l By tha IQvH article of the Treaty of
'Ghent it was exprectly declared that
'whereas the traffic, in slaves is irreconcila

which was daily increasing, and which
required the fostering care of the Government-

his correspondence with the American
Envoys at London, expressly disclaimed all

and I therefore fell it to be my duly, dis
tinctly to declare, in my annual message to

the" United States have' been standing up for
the freedom of the sens, they' have noi
thought propet to make that a 'pretext for

On the'23d 6rApril la!i,ihe commission
ers on the part of the United States, under
the convention wlthMie Mexican Republici
of lhellthof April, 1839. made to the
piopei department a final report in relation
to the pioceedings of the commission. From
tins it appears1 that, the total amount award
ed to the claimants by the commissioiiers
and the umpire' appointed under thai con
vention, was iwo millions twenty six thou
sand and seventy nine dollars and sixty
eight-cents. The arbiter having considered
that his functions were required' by the
convention to terminate at the same' time
with thoae of ihe enmmissioricis: relumed
lo the board, undecided for wnnl of time;
claims which "had been1 alldwed bv the.
American-Commisfeioiier. to ihe nmount of
mneihundred and twenty eight thousand six
hundred and twenty dollars and eisluv
eight. cents., Oihrr'claims, in' which" ihe'
amount sought to be recovered was three
millions.tl'reoihundred and .thirty six thous
and eight.-hundred and thirty seven dollars
and.five.'cents, were submitted to the hoard
too; late for iu consideration. The Minister
of the U Statestat Mexico, has been duly
authorized to make demand for tlie navmeni
of, ihe awards according to' the terms of the
I .1 2 . ... 'r ..
i.uii.tiiuuii, dnu me piovisions oi uic act oi
Congress.of the. l?th of June, 1840.. He
has also: been instructed lo communicate to
that government ,the expectations of the
Government of the U. Slates in relaiion to
ihosc claims which were riot, disposed of
according to the provisiorisof the contention
and all others of citizens of the U. States
against the Mexican Government.
He has alo been furnished with other
instructions tdbe followed by him in case
theGovernmenUufrM'exico'shbuld not find
itself in a condition to make piesent' pay'--nienl
of. the amount of the awards.in sriecie
or its .equivalent.
1 am happy to be able lo say that infor
mation, which is esteemed favorable, both
to ajustsaiisfaction of the awards, and a
reasonable provision for other claims, has
been recently received from Mr. Thompson
the ,Minjster Of the, United States, who' has
promptly, and efficiently executed the iii-j
siruciions of his Government; in legard to
tins important suoject. ,
The citizens of the United Slates who
accompanied the late Texan expedition to
Saniafte, and. who. were wrongfully liken
aim leiu as prisoners nl war in .Mexico, have
ali been liberated.
At correspondence has taken place between
the Department of State and the Mexican
Alipister or t'.oreign Affairs upon the com
plaint of Mexico that citizens of the United
States were permitted to. give aid to the in
habitants of Texas in the war existing be
tween Her anu that Kepuolic. Copies of
this, correspondence are herewith communi
cated ip Congress, together with copies of
letters, on the same subject, addressed to the
Diplomatic, corps at Mexico, by the Ameri
ran Minister and the Mexican Secretary of
ataie. w
Mexico has, thought proper to, reciprocate
the mission of the, United States to that
Government by. accrediting to, this a .Minis
ter of the eanie ra;ik as that of the repre
sentaive ol (he yniled, States in .Mexico.
Fiom the circumstances, connecteil with his
mission, favorable results are anticipated
from it. It is so obviouslv for the interest
nf both countries us neighbors and friends
that all just causes of mutual dissatisfaction
should be removed, that it is to be hoped
neither will omit or delay the employment
of any practicable and. honorable means in
accomplish tuat end.
The affairs pending between this Guvern
eaeutand nevera! others of the Slates of this
hemisphere, formerly under the dominion of
Spain, have again, within the past year,
been materially obstructed by the military
revolutions anil conflicts in those countries.
The Ratifications of the Treaty between
Vh.e Uajjed, a;.d, llie Benublw .Ecuja.-
dori of the 13th of1 June, 1839, have been
exbhanged, and thai instrument has been'
duly promulgated on the part of this Go
vernment. Copies are now communicated
toiCongress with" a view to eitabfe that body
to mane sucn changes in the laws applicable
to our inteicoarse" with thai Republic, as
may be deemed requisite'.

This Government has reason lo- expect thai
other claims of our citizens against Chile,
will be hastened to .a final and satisfactory'
Close; .
The Empire of Brazil hat nol been alto
gether exempt from those convulsions which
so constantly afflict the' neighboring repub
lics. Distuibarices which recently broke
out, are, however, now understood to be
quieted. But' these occurences,-by threat
ening the stability of ihe Governments, or
by causing .incessant arid violenfchangesln
them, or in the persons' who. administer
them, tend greatly to retard. provisions for-' a
just indemnity for losses and injuries suf
fered by individual subjects or citizens of
other States, Tlie Governraent bl the U.
Stales will feel ir, to be lis duty however;
to consent to no uelay; not unavoidable iri"
making satisfaction for wiongs and injuries
sustained by its own citizens. Many years
having in some cases, elapsed,, a decisive,
anu ehectual course of proceeding. will be
demarded.of the respective governments
against whom claims iiave.been preferred;?
The vexatious, harras8i'ng and expensive
war which so long prevailed with the Indian,
tribes inhabiting the peninsula of Florida;
has .happily been terminated;, .whereby our
army has, been: relieved1 from a service' of
the most, disagreeable character, and the
Treasury frem a , large expenditure,- Some,

settlers and the Indians; but these, as in all

A sufficient number of troops will, be main
tamed in Florida, so long .'as the remotest'
apprehensions of danger 'shall exist, yet;
iiieirouues will be limited rather to the'
garrisoning of the necessary po.'ta, than to
the maintenance of active hostilities. It is
to be hoped that a territory, so long lelarded

The balince in the Treasury 'on the 1st
of January, 1842, (exclusive of the amount
deposited with the State. Trust Funds rnd
Indemnities; was $230, 483 68, The
receipt into the Treasury during the tluce
first quarters oftlle present year, from all
sources, amount to 926,610,593,75; of
which more than fourteen millions were
received from customs, and about one mil
lion from the public lands.- The receipts
for the fourth quarter are estimated at near
ly eight millions; of which four millions
are' expected from Customs, and three
millions and a half fiom Loans and Treat
sury notes. The expenditures of the first
three, quarters of, the present jear exceed
iweniy-vx millions; and those esti nated
for the fourth quaiter amount lo about eight
mil, ions; and. n is anticpated there wil
be a deficiency uf half a million on the 1st
of lanuary next but that the amount of
outstanding warrant?(estimated ai.9800,000)
will leave an actual balance of .8224,000 ini
tha Treasury. Among ihe, expenditures ol
the year, are more ih(n eight, millions for,
the 'public debt,, arid 9600,000 on account
of the distiit ution to Ihe, .S.lata. of the ppi

The present tariff of duties was some
