The Presidents Message, which takes up so much of our paper this week, is throughout an interesting and matter-of-fact document. With respect to the treaty arrangements, the opening of the West-India ports by the British Government and of the Black Sea by the Turkish Government to our ships, on terms of the most favored nations, is calculated to promote commerce both immediately and re- motely. By the exertions of our Minister Mr M'Lane, at the court of London, every obstruction has been removed to friendly intercourse with the British West-Indes. This trade, according to the capital embarked in it, has been more regretted than any other nerdcted to us. It has been severely felt by States exporting timber, naval stores, provisions and live stock. It lost by one of those strata gems frequently resorted to by the British Govern ment, to promote her commercial and maritime az grandizement, well to serve '.t for standing example of the po,rer of he Parliament" and her stubborn preentons to rule the commerce of the world, which power she still claims right to exer- else, This was the doctrine of Mir Canning, who was of the most inveterate enemies this country ever had; and who for long time as member of the British cabinet, spared no pains to paraze every effort made by the different administrations of to to all nations He seized the first opportunity when there momentary suspension of the treaty on this subject, to interdict our commerce with the West-Indies; and for the last four years, what little trade we have enjoyed, has been circuous and vex- atious The victories of Russia over the Turks have contributed much to the freedom of trade we are about to enjoy the Black Sea. Russia lets no opportunity slip to cultivate friendly intercourse with this country; and it cannot be otherwise than gratifying to her, that American ships are allowed to enter the Black Sea as other nations and to sup plant those of England of whose trade and tyran- nical monopolies she is heartily sick. When the Americans once get foothold in that distant trade, they will have nothing to dread from the activity or skill of other nations Surpassing them all in the feetness of their ships, and the experience of her enterprisng seamen, much of the trade will be car ried on by them in vessels peculiarly calculated for the purpose By the change of authorities in France, there is at last prospect of having our long neglect ed claims for spoliations under the Berlin and Mi Ian decrees satisfied.
