WASHINGTON, Dec. 5, i 815.—This day, at twelve o'clock, the President of the United States transmitted to both Houses of Congruss, the following Message, by Mr. Todd, his Score tai y " Fellow Citizens of the Senate and the (louse of Representatives, " I have the satisfaction, on our present meeting, of being able to communicate to you the successful termination of the war which hind been commenced against the United States by the Regency of Algiers. The squadron in advance, on that service, under Conuno dore Decatur, lost not a moment on its arrival in the Mediterra nean, in seeking the naval force of the enemy, then cruizing in that sea, and succeeded in capturing two of his ships, one of them the principal ship, commanded by the Algerine Admiral. The high character of the American commander was brilliantly sustained on the occason, which brought his own ship into close action with that of his-adversary, as was the accustomed gallantry of all the officers and men actually engaged. Having prepared the way by this de monstration of American skill and prowess, he hastened to the port of Algiers, where peace was promptly yielded to his victorious force. In the terms stipulated, the rights and honour of the United States were particularly consulted, by a pci petual relinquishment, on the part of the Dey. of all pretensions to tribute limn them. The impressions which have thus been made, strengthened as they will have been by subsequent transactions with the Regencies of Tunis and Tripoli, by the appearance of the larger force which followed under Commodore Bainbridge, the chief in command of the expedition, and by the judicious precautionary arrangements left by him in that quarter, afford a reasonable prospect of future security, for the valuable portion of our commerce which passes within reach of the Barbary cruimrs. " It is another source of satisfaction that the Treaty of Peace with tire.at Britain has beea succeeded by a Convention on the sub ject of commerce, concluded by the Plenipotentiaries of the two countries. In thisTesult a disposition is manifested on the part of that nation, corresponding with the dispoSition of the United States, • which, it may be hoped, will be improved into liberal arrangements on other subjects, on which the parties have mutual interests, or which might endanger their future harmony. Congress will de cide on the expediency of promoting such a sequel, by giving effect to the measure of confinino . the American navigation to Nme rim seamen ; a measure which, at the same time that it m;;;ht lutxc th4t couelliatory tenllCS;ey, Mild have the further advantdge 651 of iZereasinit, the independence of our navigation, and the resources of our maritime rights. " In conforMity with the articles of the Treaty of Ghent, re• sating to the Indiana, as well as with a view to the tranquillity of our western and north-western frontiers, measure' were taken to establish au immediate peace with the several tribes who had been engaged in hostilities against the United States. Such of them as were invited to Detroit acceded readily to a renewal of the former treaties of friendship. Of the other tribes who were invited to a station on the Mississippi, the greater number have also accepted the peace offered to them. The residue, consisting of the more distant tribes or parts of tribes, remain to be brought over by fur ther explanations, or by such other means as may be adapted to the disposition theyenay finally disclose. " The Indian trait s within, and bordering on our southern fron tier, whom a cruel war on their part had compelled us to chastise into peace, have lately shown a restlessness, ivhich has called for preparatory measures for repressing it, and for protecting the Commissioners engaged in carryieg the terms of the peace into. execution. " The execution of the act for fixing the military .ticare esta blishment, has been attended with difficulties which even now can only be overcome by Icgisiative aid. The election of officers; the payment and discharge of the troops enlisted for the war; the mcnt ef the retained troops, and their re-union from detached and dist••nt stations ; the collection and security of the public property, in the quarter master, commissary and ordnance departments; and the constant medical assistance required in hospitals and garrisoue, rendered a complete execution of the act impra cficab.e on the Ist ofi May, the period more immediately contemplated. As soon, how ever, as circumstances would permit, and as far as it had been practicable, consistently with the public interest, the re.lection of the army has been accomplished; but the appropriathins for its pay, and for other branches of the military service, hayine poved inadequate, the earliest attention to that subject will be net iee,ary; and the expediency of continuing upon the peace establishment the Staff Officers, who have hitherto been provisionally retained, is also recommended to the consideration of Congress. "In the performance of the executive d e ueon this occasion, there has not been wanting a just sensibility to . the merits of the kmerican army during the late war ; but the obvious policy and design in fixing an efficient military peace establishment, did not afford an opportunity to distinguish the aged and infirm, on ac count of their past services; nor the wounded and disabled, on account of their present sufferings. The extent of the eduction, indeed, unavoidably involved the exclusion of many meritorious officers of every rank, from the service of their country; and so equal, as well as so numerous, were the claims to attention, that a derision by the standard of comparative merit, could seldom be attained. Judged, however, in candour, by a general standard t f positive merit, the Army Register will, it is believed, do honour to the establishment ; while the case of those officers, whose names are not included in it, devolves, with the strongest interest. upon the legislative authority, for such provision as shall he deemed the best calculated to give support and solace to time veteran and in valid ; to display the bene fi cence a' we ll as the j ustice of the Go ' vernmeet ; and to iuspire a martial zeal for the public service, upon every Ware emergeney. " Although the embarrasemente arising from the wan n t ce t3f an eni• form national curren c y have not been diminished, sihe ad journment of Congress, great satisfaction has been derived, in contemplating the revival of the public credit, and the efficieney of the public resources. The receipts into the Treasury from the various branches of revenue, daring the nine months ending on the With of September last, have been estimated at twelve millions and a half of dollars; the issues of Treasury Notes of ev eiy deno mination, during the same per iod, amounted to the sum of fourteen millions of dollars : and there was also obtained upon the loan, during the same period, a sum of nine millions of ileillars, of which the sum of six millions of dollars was subscribed in cash, end the sum of three millions of dollars in Treasury - Notes.—With these means, added to the sum of one million and a half et' dollars, being the balance of money in the Treasury on the Ea of January, th er e has been paid, between the Ist of January and the Ist of October, on account of the appropriations of the preceding and of the pre of the amount of theTreasery Notes subscribed slumstoentth-se.ellort(tne,NticilliCisl;heelYam redemed in the payment of e, ties and taxes), the egeTegate of t h irty -three millions . and a h a lf o f dollars, lea v ing a balance then in the Trensnry est:mated at th! sum of three millions of dollars. lielepenilent, however, of the 1 erre:wages due for military services and supolies, it is resumed, that e f i n then suet ef five millions of dollars, iticludiag e aterest g AL .. •• - p. 4 etk it 4 as Cft 0 16,Pb P-
