H e - tleelined-thfM>ftera)f a-pu014e skip,from motives of delicacy, but assured me that tie had. long in tended, and would certainly visit our Union in the course o fthe present year. In August last he ar rived at New-York, where he was received wah the warmth of affection and gratitude tq wfikli his very important and disinterested services and sac rifices ip our revolutionary struggle, so eminently entit ed him. A corresponding sentiment lias jbut still tho pfactice Is far from being sup- lpres.sed. From .etfery view which has been liaken of the subject, it is thought that it Iwill be necessary rather to augment than to Idioaiuish our force in that quarter. There I is reason to belleve-Lhat the piracies now Icbraphitaed of, are committed by hands of pbhers-XEho-itihabit thfeJatW^and who, by [preserving good intelligence with the ton ns [ahd seizing favourable opportunities, rush [forth aud fall on-unprotected merchant ves- |Sf!s, of which-tbey make an easy prey— [The pillage thus taken, they carry to their [lurking places and dispose of afterwards-at ■prices tending to seduce the ueighbouring- |foptilation. This combination is under- Isleod to Ira of great extent, and is the more 1 ? be deprecated because the crime of pira- W is often attended with the rounler ofthe pews, these robbers knowing, if any sum- fed, their lurking places would be exposed, pud they be caught ahd punished. That lllis atrorious practice should be carried to [ueh extent, is e inse af equal siirprize and [egret. It is presumed that it must be at- [fibuted to tlie relaxed and feeble stale of We local govemnieuts, since it is not doubt- ffl, from the high character Of the Governor p Ciiha, who is well known and much res pected here, that if l^e had the power, lie Ifould promptly suppress it. Whether those ~ 7 | 0 bbers shonlil be pursued on the land, the al 'authorities he made responsible for Uese atrocities, or any other measures be ported to io suppress them, is submitted t the consideration ot Congress. In the execiitiortof the laws for the Sup- Wsinn ot the Slave Trade a vessel ha' !®eft occasionafly sent from that squadron °the coast of Africa, with orders to retfirn tencp by the usual track of the slave ships, od to seize any of our vessels which might' ^ engaged in that trade.

It is the interest ot the United • States to preserve the most friendly relations with every power, ahd on conditions fair, equal, and applicable to a ll H o t in regard io nur neighbours, ourSituation is different. It is imposs.bu lor the European governments to^nterfere in theif c o n cerns. especially in those ailuded. to, which are vital, without affecting us; indeed, the motives which might induce such interference in the pres ent state of ih e War between the parties, it a war it may be culled, would upper r to be equally-ap plicable to us. It is gratifying to know that some o f tlffi powers with whom we enjoy a- very friend ly intercourse aud to-whom these views have been communicated,have appeared io acqUiescein theni. The augmentation of our population, with the expansion of onr Union, and increased number o f States, have producdtl effects in certain branches o f our system, which merit the attention of C on gress. Some of our arrangements, and particu larly (he Judiciary establishment, were made with a view lo the original thirteen States only. Sihde then the United States have-acquired a vast extent of territory; eleven new States have I ten admit ted into the Union, and territories have, been laid off for three others, which will likewise be admit ted at no distant day. An organization of tlie Su preme Court, which assigns to the judges any portion, of tlie duties which belong to the inferior, i'-equiring their passage over so vast a space, under any distribution ‘of the btates that may now be made, if not iiiipiactic'able in the execution, must render it impossible for them to discharge the du ties of either branch, with advantage to the Un ion. . T h e duties of the Supreme Court would be o f great importance if its decisions Were qonfiaed , \v . --y to Che ordinary linti(s of «,tjior trlhonafe Jjut tVhen it is considered that this- Court decides, and in the ijasf resort, on all tlie great questions which arise ^tfoder onr-c.onsjittitibn, iqyplvijig thiiye. between the United States, individually, hetwecu i}ie-.States and the United States, anil bqtween tlie latter and foreign powers, too high ifiv estimate ( F tlieir iln- portance cannot be I'ornried.

The orgatitzaiion ofthe inferior Courts wouldj of course, be adapted to circum stances. It is presumed that such n one might be formed as would secure an able and fqithlul dis charge of their duties, and without any muieiial augmentation of c xpense. The condition o f tlie Aborigines within ourlim- -its, and especially those wlio are within the limits of any of the States, merits iikewise particular at tention. ‘ Experience has shown that unless the tribes h.e civilized , they can never b*incorporated into our system, in any lorm wliati’ver. It law likewise shown,,-that iu die regular augmei tation of our popiilation, witlr the extension of our set tlements, their situation will become deplorable, if their extinction is not menuced-- - Some well- digested planj.wliiiih \ylll rescue them li-om such calamities, is <|ue to-iheir rislits, to the rightslof humanity, and to tlie honour <>f the iwtion Their civilization is indispensable to their safety, and this can be aecoraplislied only by degree^.—The pro- ci-ss must comtnericewitlithe infant state, through whom some effect may be wrought on the paren tal. Difficulties of the mqst^serious character ■ present themselves to the attainment of this very, desirable result, on the territory on vvliieh they . how reside.
