AMERICAN PAPERS.

The Govecnrnitie of the United States have ex-
perienced some disappointment in their wishes
regarding specie payments, and in consequence a
notice was issued from the Treasury Depatttuent,.
dated Sept. 12 :
" That from and after the 20th clay of Fe-
,
hruary, -}S.I7, all duties] taxes, debts, or sums of
money, 'accruing or becoming, payable to the
'United Sttites, nan;;t be paid and collected in the
leg.d currency• of the United States, or Treasury
notes, or notes of the Bank of the United States,
'or notes of banks which °are payable and paid
on demand in the legal currency of the United
States, and not otherwise."

-
Atter a panegyrie:on Mr. Dallas' merits as „Se-
ctetary,of the Treasury, it is stated, that on his
leaving office the Finiree' At Ministration is pus-
leased "of a rind competent to the ,extingnish-
" rnent of the Nation:ll Dt..ht in the short period

ment-- _

I. The embarrassments of the treasury, owing to the dis-
ordered state of the currency, have been so subdued, without
the aid Or co-operation of the state :banks, that the public
ettragenteirts can he paid in the local currency, wherever they
'lncome due, except in the-eastern States; and, even there,
the treasures now operating are calculated to restore the
capacity to pay in the local currency, before the expiration of
.
the present year.
2. The floating debt, consisting of temporary loans oh-
taioutl by the treasu.y since the commencement of the late
war, has been paid.

S. The cri;dit"stirds high both in Europe •and Ame-
rica. The apparent depression: of tiva public stock and of
Treasury nOtts, in 'some of:the American markets, is to be
entirely ascribed to local causes, which ate .rapidly passing
away. .Ibt• revival, of 14, metal' currencyic is alone wanting to
give tollie public stud:, in thelEu.ropean mallets, a Value'
bcyonditta,r of any other Government.
Then conies a .btatentent of the Finance for
1816 is the result of which is, that .thedemands
on the Treasury by acts of appropriation amount-
ill; to 32,475,303 dollar: have been discharged to
the amount of 26,332,17.1; making an unexpend-
ed balance of,the appropriation on the Ist
of Augnst, 1816,,0f 6,143,129.
if le gross annual receipts at the Treasury, .for
the year 18,16, are calculated to amount:- to about
65-,702,631
Mere are then two calculations, one malting
the surplus ;of Itevenne over the expenditure of
the year 29 millions, and another only nine wit-

Boas of dollars. This discrepancy is, not, easily
recottelled,bitt thereii a great deal too mach of
hypoilic4s in the whole of these statements and
calculations. An I?.stimate of the produce of Cus-
tows follows, so strikingly loose anti inaccurate as

New YORK, OCT. s.—The following we copy
from the Newburiport Herald of Tues%bly last :
A letter from Eastport states—“ That,an Eng-
lish tlett has just arrived there, consisting of one
fifty-gun ship, two thirty-eight gun trigates, one
gun-brig, and a sloop of war, that American
property-of every description is seized, and that
the people are talking of nothing:but
Eastport, it will be remembered, was captured
by the British during the late war. It remains
still in their posse:;.sion agreeable to the provi-
sion: of the Treaty of Peace. It is at present a
British, putt, and very probably is now visited
by an English squadron. But the statement'' that
American property of every description is seized,
and that, the people are talking of nothing but
mar," it doubtless an unfounded and idle rumour.
The following statement is afterwards given in
the sane paper as theorigin of. the above intern-

Bence ;
The Eastport news,. es related, by the New-
huryport Editor, made some, noise here -yesterday.
The plAn truth, according to our information front
a Gentleman from the .spoti is this nse-
queuce of the extent to which smuggling has been
carried on at Eastport, the collector of St. John
sent his Deputies down to seize a quantity of to-
bacco, pork, and other contraband articles, at that'
place, ‘vhich was done, but it excited-no appre--
hension or talk of war. The squad on spoken of
had been lying-some time at St. John, and went
to Eastport to try a captain' of n 311601 sloop of
war. by 'a Court-martial for having, sometime
sinev, thrown his gulls overboard while his vessel
was alhore on that Coast.
The British amid Anterivan Commissioners have
met at St. Andrew's, as intended, when they
agreed to adjourn to May next, •then to convene
in Boston, , • •
Another account respecting the neTnaval depot
to be erected in America.gives the follawing in-

telligence ,
-4' The United States agents, appointed to.sur-
.vey the several rivers emptying into tht.thesa-
}wake, fOr: tbe. purpose of ascertaining the most
eligible spot tor a naval dep6t, have completed
their labour; Slid it is understood that Gosport
lias been fixed on As possessing superior advan-
tages to any other site in that lnatter of the
country." ' . .

‘vho, united by no tics of religion or social order,
have long sincc been dissolved and mixed with•rhe'
other German trWei.. Here also is lionegstein,
a tactical.. 'curiosity ; a fortress which is impreg-
nalge, but, on account of its situation,' of little
importance as a military position. All this lies in
a very narrow compass ; I walked through this
delightful mountain scenery and returned to
Dresden in four days."
