FRANKFOR r, DECEMLER 18.
Yesterday evening, the Otlice:s of the Landsturm
and regular troops give a very line serenade to Prince
13!ucher, on which occasicn the love and resp-..•ct with
which the Hero of Germany is every ..vhere received,
was displayed in the most affecting manner. The
music was frequently interrupted by the accla:naticns
of the as3embled crowd, whose eethueiasm rose to
the-highest pitch whoa the Prince himetlf, though
unhappily still indisposed, appeared at the balcony.
The tumult of joy was hushed in an instant when
the Prince made a sign that he wished to spzalt, and
*slim he addressed to them the following words :-...
" I heartily thank yon, good Citizens of Frankfat,
for this fresh proof of your love to me : I know what
you have done fer the good cause, how you have
ecnstantlY distinguished yourselves by courage and
patriotism. lam rejoiced at being among you, and
with to have always a place in your memory.
These wards of the Hero made the most profound
impressim on the crowd, whose acclamations long
continued without interruption.

North, which the Prussian troops successively leave,
taking the road to Charleroi.and Namur. The above
named General has fixed his head quarters at Mau-
benge. On the 23d and following days, several
regiments of Russian cavalry and infantry went into
cantonments, wilich extend from Landrceies to the
Sambre. By the 30th, the other Russian troops are
expected, which are to form part of the-army of the
Duke of Wellington. These near arrangements are
supposed to be the cause that the occupation of the
fortresses has been delayed. We hear it is now fixed
which troops shall take possession of them, and we
now expect daily to hear of their being actually
delivered up. Whether the Russians will occupy
Charlemont is not known. The Prussians have still
a garrison at Givet, and nothing announces that the
Russians are coming to take their.place. The Prus.
sians have also a very numerous garrison at Rocroy.

We received New York Papers to the 12th and
Roston, to the 10th ult. this morning.

The Paper of; the 11th contains a long Report of
the Secretary of the Navy to the Senate. It details
his propositions for the improvement of the Revenue,
for the support of public credit, besides the statements,
of the late
-expenses, and the estimate of those for the
ensuing year.
As to Revenue, Mr. DALLAS proposes that the
double duties on imports be continued until the 30th
day of June, 1816 ; that the present duties on Sugars
refined within the United States, on Stamps, on Sales
at Auction, and Postage, be continued ; that the
direct tax be reduced from six to three millions of
dollars; that the duties of distilled spirits be discon-
tinued after 30th day of June, 1816, and in lieu that
the duty on licenses to distillers be doubled after that
day; the duty on licenses to retailers to be reduced
to the rates of the year 1813 ; that the duties on
articles manufactured in the United States, and those
on household furniture and watches, be repealed.
The 3d Article refers to the circulating medium,
and concluding with the following proposition :
That a National Bank be established at Philadelphia,
having powers to erect branches elsewhere, and that
its capital do consist of three quarters of the public
stock and one quarter of gold and silver. The re-
strictive system which commenced in the year 1807,
is said to have greatly diminished the produce of the
revenue, but still not until the actual commencement
of hostilities that it became burthensome. The esti•
mates of the year 1812, required 9,400,000 dollars;
those of 1814, 45,250,000 dollars. The embarrass.
meats of the Treasury after the adjournment of Con.
gress in 1814. became. extreme. It appears that the
disembursernents during the first half year hid
amounted to 19,693,781 dollars 27 cents. The
actual receipts of tl:e Treasury amounted to
22,09,032 dollars, 2G cents. The aggregate amount
of the receipts into the Treasury fir the three years
of the war was 98,042,309 dollars, 9G cents.
In 1811., the receipts of the Treasury amounted to
34,875,432 dollars, 25 cents. The uctual ditbtirse-
merits of the Treasury, in 1812, were 22,t:79,121
Lars, 15 cents. In 1813, they amounted to 29,190,520
s, 3ti cents. In 1814, they amounted to
58,!;17,915 dollars, 62 cents, making a total disburse.
ment nl" the Treasury amounting to, in 1812, 1815,
and 1814, 100,017,557 dollars, and 13 cents.

In the Senate, December 7, the above Report was
received, and a part of it read, and ordered to be re-
.Fr;nled.

On Thursday, the Bth, a Bill was brought in, au.
thitizing the -PLIESIDENT to have a new building on
Capitol Hill for the accommodAtion of Congress,
which was passed, and the House adjourned until
the Iltb.
