eatur, in taxing aad defroying the frigafe Phi
iad-lphis, a commifion to him az Captain in the
Navy has been dolly ifIaed. and will without de-

prefented to him.
Some notice having been lately taken
sn ewral prints of enbarraTnenu having
arifen in the adjuament of American claims
under the convention of 1909, with France,
we are enabled to fate that fome obftacles to a
fisa liquidation Of them exit from the various
contributions given to that inerument. We
csns however, allure the public that meafures
have been taken with view TO fuch an undss-
aanding between the two governments as. while
the immediate convenience of the claimants is
attended 10 in rea!onable degree. may tend ui-
timately to fcc0re equal jaaicc to every claim
not foreclofed by the former convention OF
1900. and that no payment Of claims liquida,ed
by the comniiionsrs has yet been actually made.

CONTINUANCE of the fMPosTs-Jf ia ro+
true that the northern Rates contribute more
than their proportion towards the expeuces of
the Government, although they advance more
than their quota of the duty on tonnage and
merchandise. ] have no data before me. from
which may calculate the relative contributions
OF the different ftates to this fund of revenue
becauie no accounts have yet been collected ri
the amount of goods fent coaR-wile from one
tate to another. The following abRraa mag
inns which have already appearetiin the 4tb Mo.
of this Vindicaton, will be efficient TO demon,
trate, however, that the fouthern fates nlfi.
mately pay their full quota.
The northern merchants, who import ,be
goods, and employ the tonnage, advance the tax.
but they afterwards recover their capital with
mercantile profit, from the perions who pur-
chaic theie goods.
Whether the fouthern or northern ftates then
pay the greateft proportion of this tax, can only
DC determined BY another quehion are thefe
imported goods mot abundantly continued by
the iouthern or northern inhabitants
Ihete goods are cheaper in the northern than
IN the fouthern fates; becaufe when they are
transported 10 the latter, their price necefIariv
mes with the expence freight & fometimes of
infurance.
