1907 and 1903, showing thereby distinctly
the effect of for-ign aggrsssions and COM
mereial restrictions ON the impor.ations Of
foreign articles.
!. From the returns already received for
The three FIRST quarters of the present year
and from the general knowledge of the i'm.
portatlens made during the TWO last months.
il IS believed That the gross amount Of Gu.
ties On merchandise imported during the
whole year, will, after ceciaet;ng the ex-
pences Of collection, ss.oaue to about ten
millions OF dollars.
But as the debentures issued on account
CT re-exporlatiens principally Of colonial
produes) Will aaount to about 100000
dollars, the-nett revenue accrued during the
year 1869 cannot be estimated al more than
six millions and half.
:. It appears. by tie statement &C. tina, the !
sales ct public lands have during the year
ending on the seth September, 1909, a. |
mounted to 1-t5, 900 acres; and the pay
naents BY purchasers to near SOC, ooodolars.
ne proceeds OF sales IN the Mississippi I
Territory, being, after deducting the sur
.yeying and other Incidental expenees, ap-
propriated in the first place to the payment
Of sum OF ESQ, 900 dollars to tie state
OF Georgia, are distinctly stated.
1t appears By the statement CD that the
payments On acs9uns of the principal ofthe
public debt, have during the same period
amounted to near $4,000 dollars, the re-
im5ursement Of the eight per cent. stock
having taken p.ace ON the FIRST of January
last. But the aggregate of payments on
account of principal aad interest will not
for the two yeas 1903 and 1909 exceed the
sum of sixteen millions OF dollars appro-
pria.ed by law.
The same statement shews that about
34,796,ooo dollars OF the principal of the
debt have been reimbursed during the eight
years and a half commencing the 1st Of
April. 1901, and ending on the 3oth Of Sep
tember, 1909; exclusively Of more than
six millions of dollars paid in conformity
with the provisions of the convention with
Great Britain and of the Louisiana con-
versicn.

Last evening we addressed twelve let

---the aggregate amount OF their several
accounts exceed. 27o dollars. There are
about one huadred more Of such patrons,
to whom We shall write.-many Others
will be called upon for lesser sums of mo-
pey.
Among these are many men Of the
highest standing in point of property and
republican character, in the staie of Ma
ryland and in the Uni'ed States. Gemle-
men who would disdain TO be indebted

payment.
For the present, we merely sugges, TO
such patrons the absolute necessity for
closing their several accounts If this
suggestion is not attended to, compulsory
means must be used, without respect oil
person, however honorsbly they may

who appear to believe they do enough
for the printer by permitting him 10 for.

THIRTY SECOND BULLETIN
OF THE FRENCH ARMY IN
SPAIN.

The Duke of Dalmatia being arri-
we'd before Ferrol, caused the place to
be invested. Negotiations were be-
gun. The civil authorities, aud the
military and naval officers manifested
disposition to surrender; but the
people, fomentcd by the spies whom
the English had left, resisted.
On the Oath, the Duke of Dalmatia
received two messengers, one sent by
Admiral Nlassoredo, commander of
the Spanish squadron, and the other,
who came cross the mountains, sent by
! the military commanders---I These cou-
riers were both sent without the
knowledge of the people. They sta
ted that the authorities were under the
yoke of a furious populace, excited &
paid by the agents OF England, and
that 5000 men belonging to the city and
environs were in arms.
The Duke of Daimatia had to re-
solve upon onening the trenches but
from the cath to the 25th, various
movements were manifest in the town.
The 18th regiment of light infantry
had repaired to Mugardos the 3ist
regiment of light infantry were at the
forts of La Pama and St. Martin, and
at Lagrana and as they blockaded
the fort ST. Philip, the people began
TO feel the consequences of an assault,
and TO listen to men of sense. On the
Goth, three flags Of truce, furnished
with authority, arrived at the head
quarters and signed the surrender oil
the place.
On the 27th at Z o'clock in the NOR
ming, the town was occupied by the di.
vision of Mermet, aud by brigade oil
dragons.
On the same day the garrison was
disarmed the disarming also produ,
ced 5000 muskets. The people who
do not belong to Ferrol, have been re-
handed of their villages. The mer
who had stained themselves with BLOOD
during the insurrectioD, have been ar,
rested.
Admiral Oregon, whom the PEG
! pie had arrested during the insurrec
ton, has been put at the head Of tn,
arsenal.
! There have beehj foups in the por
Virginia Argus. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1796-1816, 1809-05-02

three vessels of 1i2 guns, two of SO,
two OF "a, two "a, three frigates, and
a considerable number OF corvcttes,
briggs, and unarmed vessels, more than
$500 pieces of cannon of every size,
and ammunition of ali kinds.
1t is probable. that but for the pre-.
