The Washington Feder{Fst Of the
10th inst. contains the following
POSTSCRIPT.
~Ne stop the press TO announce,
that q French national brig, of s guns,
arNsed in the Eas:ernBranch this fore
noom Immediately from France,charged,
Is We are told, with dispatches"
The subsequent paragraph is from
the Baltimore North American, Of the
10th inst.
q A pilot that arrived this morning,
reports seeing French 20 gun brig
go.ng Up the Potomack, the day before
vestrrday-he hailed her, but they
would not answer where from. He
was informed by the beat which furn-
shed them with pilot that they said
they were from jamaica"
Itisestabfshcd, that French Cor
veue has arrived at Washington.
Wherever she is from, we should pre-
sumo by her proceeding Immediately
50 the Potomack to the federal city
that her business is important. This
DAYS mail may give US further infor-
ulalion.-BoStou Pal.
Treasurer SEISvER.-The leading
democrats are not little mortified at
the conduct Of their Ex- Treasurer
SKINNER and wisely ask if il IS fair
10 consider it as reflection on their
party. AS it respects those Of the peo-
pie who have been deceived and impos-
Ell upon, and who, from honest motives
have been induced to give their votes
for such men as entrusted the keeping
Of the Commonwealth money TO a
Skinner, certainly they arc not culpa-
bic. But what must they say or think
OF the conduct Of their rulers in contin-
uing such men in Office after it became
suspected there was something rotten
in the state of the Treasury? SEVEN
TT-Two THOUSAND DOLLARS IS no
small sum for the people Of this Com
Inonweahh TO lose III embargo times.
If the ia.hartiQl and hGtriotic democrat
&c rulers had have retained the MAORI
g IN the Legislature, they had last
Year, no one can say how far this sys-
TEN Of public plumber would have ex-
tended. 1t will show the citizens Of
this state that those who have long been
holding up themselves as their exclu-
siye friends, are really seeking for Of
fees and the possession Of the peoples
cash, to appropriate the same to their
individual benefit.

Gil. 1t is also stated, that Mr.. Pinkney
was informed, in reply to his remon-
strances, that these DEGREES would be
enforced in the strictest manner.
The message also contained long
letter from the American Minister at
faris, to the French Minister Cham
Pagny, relative to the decree Of French
court on an Az rican vessel wrecked
on the coast OF Trance. No letter from
the Minister at Paris to our govern
ment was communicated. A motion
calling for the letter to our government.
was made in the House of Representa-
tlves but the, House refused to consi-
der it, 60 to 60.
On the receipt of the message, the
House of Representative closed their
doors. On the next LAY they had their
doors closed about two hours. The let
tiers were returned to the President. and
the proceedings made public.
he following message was also COM
municated to Congress on the 26th ult.
1othe senate and house Of REPRESENTA-
tiVes 0fthe United States.
The danger of our country arising
from the contests of other nations. and
the urgency of making preparations for
whatever events might affect our rela-
tons with them, have been minated in
preceding messages to congress-. To
secure ourselves by due precautions, an
augmentation of our military force, as
well regular as of volunteer militia.
seems to be expedient. The precise
extent OF that augmentation cannot as
yet be satisfactorily suggested; but that
no time may be lost, and especially at
season deemed favourable to the object.

statements.
The letter follows:
War department, Feb. 24th, 1908.
To the President Of the United States.
SIR,-I take the liberty of suggest
ng,whether under existing circumstan-
ces, it would not be advisable. to pro-
pose to congress an augme ntation Of
our regular troops, as soon as practi-
cable; and also the engaging and organ
izing OF twenty four thousand yolun-
teers, on the principles have had the
honour of proposing for your consider
alton, the general outlines of which are
contained in the paper marked No. 1.
+ The number of regular troops would
propose being raised immediately, ia
six thousand, to be composed of suita-
bic proportions of infantry, artillery, ca
valry and riAemen, and organized as
stated in the enclosed paper marked
No. 2.
1t may be presumed that previous to
theiclose of the present session, congress
will be possessed of such farther infor-
nation in regard to our foreign relations.
as will be necessary for forming an I'LL
innate opinion on the expediency or in
exxPediency of a greater augmentation
OF our army than is now proposed and
IN the mean time measures may be tax
en- for the recruiting service in different
parts OF the United States.
In the event of war, it will presume
be considered necessary to arrange our
far az
