IV. The Poft Miller General was au
tlv.iifed by C-inrrrefs to incur an expence
of ee.ie-'bird additional to that already
borne, for the carriage of the miiil in
coat lies inltead of by horles. Put the
co>:t>';u'.'te have been made, on terms in ad
vantageous to the United States, that
an hmn*ediate additional expence will on
ly be incurred of aboat 1500 dollars a
year; and this ftnall additional expence
has arrifen from the inability legally to
vacate old contracts; when thefe fall in,
which will be in O.tober 1 804, there will
be no additional expence whatever.
V. The contracts are made for five
years ; by which the permanence of (irni
lar arrangement:; may be CO n fide red as
effe.v'Vd.
We fhall not dilate on the great im
portance of thefe arrangements. When,
however, we compare the prefent im

Poft Office department witlj its contract

on of the ultimate, and we add, not dif
tant power of this department to facili

information of every defcription through
every fecltion of the union, can be too

Perhaps if the hints thrown out by Mr. I

It is not now a money making j.b, to

lately conferred upon Mr. Monroe. He
has nooutf.toi nine thoufand dollars, nor
has he a private feCretary. So that it
