nary it appears, however, to accomplish the object, and it
certainly does not redound much to the reputation of the
banks, but more especially of the United States Bank,
that in order effect the end proposed it has been necessary,
as it were, to go a begging in other parts of the Union for
the loan of fends with which to recommence business.

After the delivery of the President's Message to Con-
gress the report of the Secretary of the Treasury was laid

The account is not very encouraging, more especially
considering the ►arge surplus of revenue over expenditure
in years antecedent to 1837, bat withal it exhibits an ex-
tremely prosperous condition of fiscal affairs by comparison
with the late official exhibit in the Royal Oazetle here
of Whig revenue and expenditure, where it appears that
after formally announcing an excess of expenditure over
income, to the extent of creating a large actual deficit at
the Exchequer, that is an Exchequer in debt to all the
extent, the Commissioners for managing the national debt
acquaint the public with becoming gravity that it is not
their intention at present to make any more purchases for
account of the Sinking Fund.

Resolutions had already been moved by Mr. Clay
in the Senate arid by a member of the other House for
repealing or otheraise stultifying the Sub-Treasury
811, and sanguine expectations were indulged in
among the party by whom the election of General
Harrison had been carried that a National Bank
would ere long be proposed if not carried. It seems
however hardly probable that so complete a revolution i❑
the Governmental system could be effected, whatever the
inclinations of the ruling party, seeing that although a
complete change hi the Executive from the President
downwards of parties, that is of the majority and minority,
in the Senate and the House of Representatives, cannot
be materially affected for some time to come, if perhaps
at all.

By a vesiel from Pernambuco, date not mentioned, ad-
vices are said to have bee►► received from the River Plate

esbabl'shment cl friendly relations and raising the blockade.

caused activity in the American trade; and although the
political news is interesting of itself, the commercial ad-

nerally considered favourable.
It seems by the accounts from Canada that it is not yet
