miscellaneous the presideiiia message sent to both houses f concrcss on the 2d was brought to new york at mszn of s700 til toeiu aours by the councr and enquirers express and appears hi most ol the iouroau v the 3d it is as tiaiml a long docu ment bit there is less in our opiticm to interest dttvhu at a distance than usual from our crowd- cd space e must cotem ourselves ftw0w taets the first relative to the state of nego tiation with great britain in regard to the north eastern boundary is the following terms the ouestion of the northeastern boundary issti ii oending wia great britain and the proposition made in accordance with the resolution of the se nate for the establishment of a line according to the treaty of 1733 has not been accepted by mat n- vernment believing that every disposition is full on both sides to adjust this perplexing question to the satisfaction of all the parlies interested in it the hope is yet indulged that it may be effected on the basis of that proposition the relations of the american government with utisfactory eraie owing to the idemnifying the shipping are not rendering the treaties to bo france are not in norexecution of the treaty for i losses sustained at its hand by american during the last war after describing the progress and failure of the negotiations the president goes on as follows to recommend ihe adoption of coer cive measures should they become necessary to obtain justice from that power tjie idea of acquiescing in the retinal to execute the treaty will not i am confident be for a moment entertained by any branch of this government and further negotiation ia equally out of the quesiton if it shall be the pleasure of congress to bwih the further action of the french chambers no fur- tnc cwwww t ij oay probably be required at your hands but it iron the original delay in asking for an approbation hom the refual of the chambers to grant it when asked from the omission to bring the subject before the chambers at their last session from the wet mar including the session there have been five different occasions hen the appropriation might have been made and from the delay in convoking the cham bers until orae weeks after the meeting of congress it was well known that a communication of the whole subject to congress at the last session was preveni- ed by assurances that it should be disposed of be fore its present meeting you should feel yourselves constrained to doubt whether it be the intention of the french government in all its branches to carry the treaty into effect and think that such measures the occasion may be deemed to call for should be now adopted the important question arises what those measures shall be our institutions are cssentialy pacific fcace and friendly intercourse with all nations re as much the desire of our government as they are the interest of our people but these object to be permanently secured rights of our citizens or permitting solemn tr for their indemnity in cases of flagrant wrong abrogated or set aside it is undoubtedly iu the power of congress seri ously to affect the agricultural and manufacturing in terests of france by the passage of laws relating to her trade with the united states her produris manufactures and tonnage may be subjected i heavy duties in our ports or all commercial int-r- course with her may be suspended but here are powerfuli and to my mind conclusive objections to this mode of proceeding we cannot embarrass or cut off the trade of france without at the same time in some degree embarrassing or cutting tour own trade the injury of such a warfare must fall though unequally upon our own citizens and could not but impair the means of the government and weaken that united sentiment in support of the rights and honor of the nation which must now pervade ever bosom nortait impossible mat such n course r legis lation would introduce once more into our national councils those disturbing questions in relation to the tariff of duties which has been so recently put to rest besides by every measure adopted by the govern ment ol the united states with a view of injuring france the clear perception ol right which will in duce our own people and the rulers and people ol ii other nations even of france herself to pro nounce our quarrel just will be obscured and the support rendered to us in a final resort to more de cisive measures will be more limited and equivocal there is but one point in the controversy and upon that the whole civilized woild must prniiounci france to be in the wrong we insist that she shall iiay us a sum of money which she ha acknow- edged to be due and of the justice of this demand there can be but oneopinion among mnkind true the slightest pretence should be give to fmncu in persist in her refusal to make payment hy any net on our part affecting the interest of her people the question should be left 85 it is now in such an attitude chat when prance fulfils her treaty ufstipuhi- liona all controversy will be at an end it is ioy conviction thu the united sies ought to insist on a prompt execuiion uf the treaty and tn case it be refused or longer 1 vcd take redress into their own hands alter tha delay on the pari of france of a quarter of a century in ncknowled ing these claims by treaty it is not to be initiate that another quarter of a centurv is i he waited iu negotiating about the payment tlr- laws of mi- lions provide a remedy for such occanima it is a well settled principle of the inferupiinnul code that whnre one nation owes another a hquidnlcd debt which it refuses or neglects to pay the lukrlevudjinr- ly may seize on the property belonging to rheothejyil citizens or subjects sufficient to pay the dvbl with out giving just cause of war thu remedy has beeti repeatedly resorted to and recently hy france her- elf towards portugal under circumstances less questionable the time at which resort should lm had to this nr any other mode of redress is a point to he live ed by congress if an appropriation hill not he made by the french chambers at their next iwiom it may justly be concluded that the government ol france has finally determined to disregard its own solemn undertaking and refuse to pay an acknow ledged debt in that event every day delay our part will be a stain upon our national hn well as a denial of justice to our injured xv prompt measures when the refusal nf fronci be complete will not only be most honorable and just but will have the best effect upon our national character- since france in violation of the pledges given through her minister here has delayed her final action so long thai her decisions will not pnibihly be known in timeto be communicated to this congress i recommend that a law be passed authorizing repri sals upon french properly in case provision shall not be made for the payment of the debt at the ap proaching session ofthe french chamber such a measure ought not to be considered by france as a menace her pride and power ate too well known to expect any thing from her fears and preclude the necessity of a declaration that nothing partaking the character of intimidation is intended by us she ooght to look upon it us the evidence only nf an in flexible determination on the part of the united states to insist on their rights- that government by doing only what it has itself acknowledged to be just will be able lo spare the united state the ne cessity of taking rediess into their own hand and are the property of french citizens from that sei zure and sequestration which american citizens go long endured without retaliation or redress if she tfaould continue to rafifff that act of acknowledged justice and in violation of the law of nations inak- reprisals on our part the occasion of hostilities against the united simcs she would but add violence to injustice and could not foil to expose herself to the just censure of civilized nations and the retributive judgments of heaven collision with france is the more to be regretted on account of the position she occupies in bumpk in relation to the liberal insiituiinii bui in mam- laininc our national rigbts and honor all govern ment are alike to us- if collision with france in a case where ihe is clearly in the tfrnng the inareh of liberal principle be impeded the responsi bility for that result a well as every other wil rest on her own head having submitted these considi rations it belongs to congress to decide sietherafier what has ukjn place it will still wit tbe further wmion of the french chambers nr now adopt such provisional measures as it ma v deem necessary and hirst adapt ed to protect the rights and maintain the honor of the cuuntrv whatever that decision may be it will be faithfully enforced by the executive as far as it is authorized la do so indfan uurdkrano prooablk war tllc steam boat warrior arrived nt this port on saturday from praire du cliein we are
