Africa :
‘• A report from Marshal Valee, dated Algiers, Jan. 5,
gives the following news to the Minister of War Seve-
ral convoys have arrived at Belida without encountering
any of the enemy in the Plain. The citadel and camp of
Belida are in an excellent state of defence, and their stores,
arc sufficient for all wants. The Marsha has gone along •
the course of the Chiffa from Belida to Coleah, without
having perceived any collections of Arabs, and the Plain
of the Hadjoutes appeared deserted. The inNrmation
c)llacted by Colonel Lamoriciere, at Coleah, is that. after
the defect of the Arabs, at Oued Lally, on the 31st of
December, the Kalifa El Baruk, who was wounded in the
shoulder, retired to a great distance; that the battalion of
infantry of Medeah no longer existed; that the battalion of
Miliana, which had suffered less, was the only one that
remained in the Arab camp ; that fifteen Caids had been
killed, and that the horsemen had returned to their tribes.
The news from Constantina is very good, and all the tribes
are tranquil.''

THE FUNDS.

This morning the topic of conversation entirely relates
in the City to the President's Message to Congress, which
is looked upon as a business-like document—a great part
of it is devoted to the currency and sub-treasury system.
and the President says that he is more than ever con-
vinced of the value of the sub-treasury system,
and the folly and inefficiency of the new Banks,
" great or small, State, or National." The United States
Bank comes in for a full share of lashing, because, says Mr.
Van Buren, it swelled and maddened the tides of the bank-
ing system. He puts down the amount of specie in the
country at 83 millions, and the aggregate foreign debt at
200,000,000 dollars, and earnestly hopes that no States or
individuals will run in debt any further, but pay up what
they owe. He also recommends retrenchment and
economy, and will do everything for the good of the Union.
With respect to the relations with England, he thinks the
Maine boundary business might be settled, and hopes it
will be ; also that matter about the Line from the entrance
of Lake Superior to the North West Point of the Lake of
the Woods. He believes that the Canadian troubles are at
an end.

We have received the Report of the Secretary of the
Treasury from New York, which is a document of groat
ength. The following is a short abstract :

DOLLARS.
Revenue and means for 1839
Expenses for 1839 35,661,427
Available Balance in the Treasury or. the 31st

December, 1835 1,556,384

'The Exports during the year ending 30th Dec. 1839,
are computed to have been 118,359,004 dollars ; this is
9,872,383 dollars more than those of 1838.
The imports during the same year were about 157,609.560
being the very large excess of 43,892,156 dollars over those
during the previous year. This,;continues the report, may
be a solution of a portion of the pressure in the money
market. The difference between the imports and exports,
being 39,250,556 dollars in favour of the former, is larger
than in any year except three since 1789, and is much
larger than any difference in the valuation of the same arti-
cles with the profits in the foreign trade added.
This is settling day in the British market, which turns
out to be a BEAR Account, and the extreme fluctuation
on Consols has been about 11 to per Cent. The
settling is going off well to the present hour.
This morning wo had the President's speech,
which ,is ;looked upon rather in a favourable
light, and in the course of an hour or two
the Queen of England's Speech will be published to the
public, which is of more importance in respect to our do-
mestic concerns than that of the President of the United
States.
A Halifax mail has arrived, by which we have received
Halifax Papers to the 24th December.
The weather continues extremely mild for the season, it
is more like the beginning of October than the end of
December; there has not yet been snow enough to cover
the ground, and but little frost.
