To the Senate 0nd House of Representa- tiUes of the United States. FELLOW CITIZENS OF THE SENATE, 1 AND OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, If the enjoyment in profusion of tho bountics of Providence forms suitable subject of graduation and grateful acknowl- edgment, we arc admonishcd at this return, of1he season, when the Representatives of the nation are assembled to deliberate upon their concerns, to ofierup the tribute of fervent and grateful hearts, for the nev- CT failing mercies of Him who ruleth oyer us. He has again favored us with success, full seasons and abundant harvests. He has sustained us in peace with foreign coun-, tries, ,and in tranquility within our borders. He has preserved us in the quiet and un- disturbed possession of civil and religious i1berty. He has crowned the year with his goodness, imposing on us no other con- ditions than of improving for our own hap piness the blessings bestowed by his hands and in the fruition of all his favours, of de- voting the faculties with which we have been endowed by him to his glory and to our own temporal and eternal welfare. In ihe relations of our Federal Union

 with our brethren of the human race, the

 changes which have occurred since of the

 close of the last session, have generally tended to lhe preservation of peace, and to the cultivation of harmony. Before 1 your las, separation, war had unhappily

 been kindled between the empire of Rus sia ,one ot those with which our intercourse

 has been no other than a constant ex- change good offices, and that of the Ot- toman Porte, nation from which geo. graphical distance, religions opinions, and

 maxims of government on their part little

 suited to the formation of those bonds of

 mutual benevolence which result from the 1 benefits of commerce, had kept us. in a state, perhaps prolonged of coldness and 4 alienation. The extensive, fertile, aud ] popuous dominions of the Sultan, belong

 rather to the Asiastic than the European division of the hnman family. They en- 1 ter but partially into the system of Europe --nor have ,lle;r wars with Russia and

 Austria, the European States upon which

 they border, for more than century past, disturbed the pacific relations of those

 States with the other great Powers of Eu-

 rope. Neither France, nsf Prussia, nor

 Great Britain, has ever taken part in them

 nor is |, to be expected they will at this

 lime. Tie declaration of wal by Russia

 has received the approbaticn or acquies-

 cence of her alles.a .and we may indulge the

 hope that is progress and termination will be sienalized by the moderation and for bearauce, no less than by the energy ofthe Emperor Nicholas, and thlt it will afford

 the opportunity for such collateral agency in behalt of the suffering Greeks. as will secure trem ultimately the triumph of hu-

 manity and freedom.
