1 rItlme law. Our newly established relations with the Sublime Porte promise to be useful to our commerce, and satisfactory Tn every re- spect to this Government. Our inter- course with the Barbary Powers continues without important change. except that the present political state of Algiers has indu- ced me 10 terminate the residence there of saaried consul, and 10 substitute an ordi- l nary consulate, to remain so long as the place continues in the possession of France. Our first treaty with one of these powers -ihe Emperor of Morocco-was 1 formed in 1786, and was limited to fifty years. That period has almost expired. 1 shaii take measures to renew II with the greater satisfaction. as it's stipulations are 1 just and liberal, and have been, with mutual 1 fidelity and reciprocal advantage, scrupu- 1 lously fulfilled.

 Intestine dissensions have too frequently occurred to mar the prosperity, interrupt the commerce, and distract the Govern ments of most of the nations of this hemis- phere, which have separated themselves from Spain. When a firm and permanent understanding with the parent country shall have produced formal acknowledgment of their independence, and the idea of dan- ger from that quarter can be no longer en- tertaiaed, the friends of freedom expect that those countries, so favored by nature, will

 be distinguished for their love of justice and their devotion to those peaceful arts, the tassiduous cultivation of which confers honor upon nations and gives value 10 hu- man life. In the mean time confidently hope that the apprehenslons entertained, that some of the people of these luxuriant regions may be tempted, in moment of unworthy distrust of their own capacity for the enjoyment of liberty, to commit the too common error of purchasing present repose by bestowing oh some fayorlte leaders the 1 fatal gift of irresponsible power-will not be realized. With all these Governments, and with that of Brazil, no unexpected changes in our relations have occurred du- ring the present year. Frequent causes of just complaint have arisen upon the part of l the citizens of the United Staes-some- times from the irregular action of the con | ! time regions, and sometimes from the lead- CTS or partisans of those in arms against the established Governments. In all cases re- presentations have been, or will be made, and as soon as their political affairs are in a settled position, it is expected that our friendly remonstrances will be followed by adequate redress.

 The Government of Mexieo made known in December last the appointment of Com missioners and a Surveyor, on its part, to run, in conjunction with ours, the boundary hne between its territories and the United States. and excused the delay for the req sons aniicipated-the prevalence of civil war ThesEommissioners and Surveyors not hayingsGst within the time stipulated at the treaty, new arrangement became necessary, and our Charge d Affairs was instructed, Il January last, to negotiate, in Mexico, an article additional to the pre- existing treaty. This instruction was ac- knowledged, and no difficulty was appre- hended in the accomplishment of that ob-

 ject. By information just received, that

 additional article to the treaty will be ob-

 talned, and transmitted to tbis country, as

 soon as it can receive the. ratification of | the Mexican Congress.

 Il The reunion of the three States of New Granada, Venezuela, and Equador, forming fhe Republic of Columbia, seems every day 10 become more improbable. The Con-

 nissloners of the first are understood to be how negotiating a just division of the obli- nations contracted by them when united

 nder one Government. The civil war in lEquaaor, 1t is believed, has prevented even fhe appointment of a Commissioner on it's bart.

 1 Ipropose, at an early day, to submit in the proper form, the appointment of di- plomatic agent to Venezuela. The import hnce of the commerce of that country to the United States, and the large claims of bur citizens upon the Government, arising before and since the division of Columbia, rendering if, in my judgment, improper lon ger to delay this step.

 Our Representatives to Central Amer- ca, Peru. and Brazil, are either at, or on their way to, their respective ports. From the Argentine Republic, from which a Minister was expected to this Govern ment, nothing further has been heard.- Occasion has been taken, on the departure of new Consul to Buenos Ayres, to re- mind that Government, that it's long delay ed Minister, whose appointment had been made known to us, had not arrived.

 It becomes my unpleasant duty to inform you that this pacific and highly gratifying picture of our Foreign Relations, does not include those with France at this time. It
