The following is report of the Secreta-
ry of the Treasury to both houses OF Con.
gress, received on Friday last:
REPORT.
In obedience to the directions of the act
supplementary TO the act, entitled 6. An
act TO establish the Treasury Department, -
the Secretary ofthe Treasury respectfully
| submits the following report
The nett revenue arising from duties ON
merchandise and tonnage which accrued
during the year 1897, amounted as APP
peared by the last annual statement, to
dollars $1,000, 900
! correct statement of that revenue for
the year 1903 cannot be pr. pared at this
time, but may be estimated, as will appear
| by the estimate A, to about 1O,27O,Ooo
The revenue arising from the same sour
ces which accrued during the first quarter
0f this year did not much exceed one mil
lion OF dollars; and although considerable
!lmportations may be expected from Great
Britain and the West Indies during the last
six months of this year, yet, considering
that there will be no arrivals from Chi ma
ava the East indies, and the situation of
the commercial intercourse of the United
States with the rest of the world, it is not
probable that the revenue accruing during
ths year 1903 will exceed that of the year
1908.
The specie in the Treasury on the LIST.
OF October, 1903, amounted to
|. 10 $40, 717 So
Aud the receipts during
the last 9 months OF that
year, as appears by the state
ment (b) to 1856, SIG 90

cd have amounted, including CLOS, 600 dol
lars paid IN reimbursement of the principal
of the public debt, to 7,49i ,339 70

Making together with the bal
ance IN the Treasury on the

OF recommitting the bill to amend it

course law, and re. enact that part of

20 retain, in separate bill. This mo-
ton was opposed at great length by
Mr.. j. g. Jackson :and supported by
II essrs. Quincy, Livermore and Car

.sAlready in the month ofssAugust steps
were taken Whish caused an immediate rbp.
ture to be apprehsnded. The German prin-
ces. dependent upon France were calledup-
on TO furnish trobps even beyond their con-
tingents, 70 collect them together into
camps and to be every day prepared J. to
march. That, which with intentional per-
:yersi,y was called the Armaaments Of
Austria" was assigned as the. reason for
these measures. The. French armies them
selves made movements, the direction and
object Of which were for a long time yelled
in obscnrity. During severa! weeks, the
strongest apprehensions were raised on diff
ferent points of the Austrian frontier, and
numerous French agents, from Lisbon to
Constantinople, already announced the
speedy ruin OF this m monarchy.

Yesterday captain Coles, Of the United
States cavalry, the messenger who went out
in.the Mentor, with dispatches for France,
arrived at the Office Of the secretary of state.
Captain Coles came home in the Syren,
which sailed from I.'Orient on the 18th
June, and arrived at New York on Satur-
day lasss We suppose he has brought dis
patches to our government, bat what they
contain is not yet made known. We learn,
however, by letters, and papers, that no
alteration had taken place with respect to our
relations with France. BonaParte. has de-
clared that he is too much engaged as a ge-.
neral to attend TO triaing politics, such. as the
propositions Of our government, All Ame-
,ricn vessels which had arrived, or which
might arrive in any of the countries under
the con!roul of Bonaparte were seized and
would be sequestered. The Mentor was
expected to sail for America in about a
week after the SYren, on board of which it
was supposed Mr.. Armstrong would take
passage.

KINGSTON, { Jamaica) Jan. &c.
1t is with infinite satisfaction we state,
that direct contradiction is given to the
gasconading accounts by the Ephigene, o.
the disasters Of the British and Spanish
troops. BY late advices from Carthagena,
we are informed OF the most brilliant iIiu-
limitations having taken place there, as well
as every other demonstration of 10y evinced
in consequence Of the glorious news receiv-
ed, of the success Of the combined British
and Spanish force over The French, in an
action fought near Burgess, at the com
mencement CT December, when the latter
suffered most terribly in killed wounded,
and prisoners and in fact were so COM
plelely cut up, that the action was consi-
dered to be Of "a very decisive nature.
A stronger and further confederation OF
the same intelligence is also given from O.
Their ports in Spanish America. DISPATCHES
from Spain with official acyices Of the bat
tie, addressed to the captains general Of the
Caracas, had been received at Laguira
and at Maracaibo vessel arrived few
days since, with information Of the same
nature.
Thus, notwithstanding the attempts tc
make the efforts of the British and Spanish
in Spain appear dropping and dishcartened,
we ny now safely pronounce that they have
gained the day land we trust it will prove
a preliminary step to the total expulsion of
those enemies of the human race. who have
endeavored to suhjugate that country.
