Il with great pleasure we publish the fol-
lowing statement 1t exhibits tiattennS
proof of the enterprise of our merchants:
V4lae Of goods, wares and merchandise,
exported from the port of Alexandria to TO-
reign countries, during the quarter ending
the slst of March, 1871, dolls. 5o7,ess 81
of which there appears to have been export
Ell Fortv-seyen thousand six hundred * eighty
seven barrels Of -four: the other articles con-
sisted % fish, slaves, shingles, beef, pork,
hams, hard, corn, rye, oats, beans, peas, pota-
toes, bread, rice, tobacco, nase, Candles,
soap, oil, gin, rum, &c. We have given the
chief article of export sly Flour, which is es-
timated.;. kioll>is the barrel, that being the
average price for the last quarter. Had they
been valued ut the New-Fork aud Philatiei-

The National Inteliigcnccr of Tuesday con-
tansa long article Oh the subject Of the ln'ri-

sentence III it with which we are much pleas
ed, particularly when We consider that Mr.
Monroe entered Oh the duties of secretary OF
state on Saturday last. This argues favorablv,
VIC think !; and there is at least some hope tia
Mr.. Madison will vet abandon the destructive
system of measures introduced by MIR. Jcffer-
son. The following is the sentence alluded
to:
"On the whole it NAV be observed that the
United States eio not, by any claim whatsoe-

Alpha, does not seem to like the hubbuo
which has been raised by Messrs. Gallatin
Smith, & CO. and their understrappers, on ac-
count of the late change in the cabinet. He

of the treasury, authorizing him to admit to
an entry ali vessels which may have loaded and

ports previous to the I'd OF Feb ruary---not-

The Aurora expressly informs US, saws the
United States Gazette, that as MIR. Madison
and MIR. Gall-sin Can no longer be rendered
subseivient to the good Cause in which that
