PRESIDENTS MESSAGE. During tlc day an important coniumlt cation was r eccived in the House from the President of the United States. The communication was recetved while the House were in Committee of th'e W bole. and the Committee rose to receive the lessage. It was on the subject of the ave trade otn the coast of Brazil. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. the Senate aad ouse of Representatives of the U. S. 1 transmit, herewith, for the informa ion of Congress, copies of certain des patches recently received front Mr. Wise, our Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Brazil. upon the nubject of the Slave Trade, de veloping th,- means used and the devices resorted to, in order to evade existing en actments pon that subject. Anxiously desirous as are the United States to suppreis a traffic so revulting to humanity, in the efforts to accdmplish which they have been the pioneers of civi p lized States, it cannot but be a subject of the most profound regret that any portion of our citizens should be acting in co-ope ration with the subjects of other powers, in opposition to the policy of their own gov ernment: thereby subjecting to suspicion and to the hazard of disgrace the flag of their o' n country. It is true this traffic is carried on altogether in foreign ports, and that our own coasts are free from its pollutidn. But the crime remains the same wherever perpetrated; and there are many circumstances to warrant the belief that some of ottr citizens are deeply invol ved in its guilt. The mode and manner of carrying on this trade are clearly and fearlessly set forth in the accompanying documents; and it would seem thnt.a reg ular system has been adopted for the pur pose of thwarting the policy and evading the penalties of our laws. Amencan ves sels, with the knowledge, as there are good reasons to believe, of the otn ners and tta. ters are chartered or rather purchased by notoriousslave dealers in Brazil, aided by English brokers and capiialists, withihis intent. The vessel is only nonninlly chartered at so much per month, %% hile, in truth, it is actually sold, to lie delivered on .the coast of Africa, th- charter party bind ing the owners, in the mean time, to take on board, as passengers; a new cr ew in Brazil, who when delivered ott the coast are to navigate her back to the ports of Brazil, with her cargo of slaves. Utler this agreement, the vessel clears from the United States for some port in Great Bri tain, where a cargo of merchandize, known as "coast goods" are designed especially for the African trade, is purchased, ship. ped, and consigned, together with the ves sel either to the slave-dealer himself or to his agents or accomplices it Brazil. Ott her arrival a crew is put ot board as pas sengers, and the vessel and cargo consign ed 1.> an equally guilby factor or agent ott the coast of Africa, wlt-re .the unlawf'ul purpose, origitally d1esigned is finally con sutmatiated. 'The merchandize is exchan ged hor slaves-the vessel is delivered up her name obliterated, her papersdestroyed her American crew discharged, to be pro vided by the charterers, ;md the new or passengtr crew put in comtnmand to carry .hack its mierable freight to the first con rveis of the voyage, or their cmployers in Brazil. During the whole progress of this tor tuous enterprise it is possible that necither the . Amet-icatn crew origittally enlisted, tnor thte passenger crew pto ont the Brazil lian potrts, are aw are of the htature of the voyage, au4I yet its on bhese principally. .igttorant, ifsut innaccnt, that the pen a Ities of the law arre inflicted; while the guilty cont riverers., charte-rers, brnoke rs, owners and masters-in hrt all tt ho are deeply concerned in thte crirhc and in~ tewards, f~r the tmost part e-Cenpc <Sput .:ishedI. It will be seen from~ th-e ei~amrinations wthich htave .recently, takelich lce at Rio, that ,thie subIjCects of bet Brittanic \Injesty as wiel* as our ownt citizen. :te deeply itnplicated in this inhnuman ti-,-flie. Bri tish factors antd agents, w hile thtey supply Africa with British fa',rtcs tn eichaunte for slaves, are chiefly instrumental in'the abttse of the American flag; antd the sug gestions contained in the lettet- of .ilr. Wise, (whose judicious and zealous eff orts int -the matter, cattnot be too highly comn ttettded,) addressed to Mr. Hiamriltotn,-the British Envoy, as to the best mode of sup pressing the evil; deserve your most de liberate consideration, as they will receive -I doubt not. that of the Bt-itish Govern ment. It is also worthy of consideration wh-etht or any other mreasures thatt those niow ex isting, are necessary to. give greater ef ficacy to the just and -humane polxcy of our laws, which already provide for the restorat'on to Afrtea of slaves captured ut sea by American cruisers. From titme to titme provission has beetn made by this Government for their comfortable support and maintainanco (luring a limited pteriodl a fter thteir restoratiotn, and it is much to be regretted that this liberal policy has been adopted by Great Brit ain. As it seems to me, that the policy it has adopted is cal culated rather to perpettuate thatn to sup press the trade, by enlisting, very large in terests in its favor. ?'letfchanats and cap italists furnish. thte meatns for :-arryinag ott tmanufactutres for which the are exchanged are the prodtucts of her workshops, the slaves captured -instead of-being returned back to their homes, are transferred to . her colonial possessions in the West Indies attd made the meatns of s'velling the a mount of their products, by a systetm of apprenticeshtip for a term of years, and thte oflicers and crew who capture tl.e vessels receive on the whole humber of slaves so n'any pounds sterling per capita, by way of hounoty. It must be obvious, that while these large itnterests at e onlised in favor of its continuatnce, it will be dilliculIt. af not itt. possible to suppress the nefarious traflie. - and that its results would be in ellect but a coittitnuance of the slav-e trade o'fanothdr - and -nore cruel form: for it can he hut a matter of little difference with Ite A frican whether he is torn from- his country attd transported to the W~est Intdies, as a slave in :he regular course of the trade, or cap tured by a cruiser, transported to the same - place atnd made to perform thte same labor under the tname of ant ap)prenttice; which is at presenit the practical operatioti of the .olic adopt.ined, It Is hoped tiat Her Brimi MIajesty's Government. will upon.a.review of all the circums:nnces. statedgin these despatches, adopt more efficient measures'for the sup pression of the trade which she has so long attempted to put down. with, as yet. so little success. nod more consonant with ihe original policy of restoring the captu red-African to his home. JOHN TYLER. WASHINGTON, Feb. .19. 1845. Steamboat Disasters:-li appears from a Report recently made by the Connittee on Naval Affairs, to the House of Repre ser.tatives, that from she yenf 1830 to 1840 eighty vessels were lostiby explo sions of "tean boilers, and that seVen huno' dred and eighty person. were killed and two hundred and ninety-six woanded by these disasters.
