tinuance of the temporary duties heretofore

iciency, and is respectfully submitted This
mode appears preferable for the present to
any internal tax. With respect to the sales
of public lands, besides aFording q supple
mentaTy fund for the ultimate redemption or
the public debt, they may, without any di-
mmution OF revenue, be usefully applied as
a bounty to soldiers enlistiug iii the regular
service, and III facilitating the terms OF loans.
But IL does not appear that the actual re-
ceipts intothe Treasury arising from the
sales can be materially encreascd, without
a reduction in the price unless it be by an
attempt to- offer certain portions for sale III
the large cities of the Union.
The same amount of revenue would be
necessary, and, with the aid OF loans, woald,
it is believed, be sufficient in case Of war
The same encrease of duties would there

ON the truth Of which all prospects cf loss or

ged. They were bound to revoke as soon
as they were satiied Of the sincere revocation
of the French DEGREES. Such satisfaction they
nave not signihed, and l am bound to pre-
sumo that no such satisfaction is felt. With
respect to the demand of warning, the or

On the grounds OF the present evidence,
therefore see no reason to hold the claimants
discharged; but do not proceed TO an ulti-
mate decision upon their interests. till see
the effect OF that additional evidence which
IS promised to be produced upon the fact of
the krench rctraction of their DEGREES said
to have been very recently received from

from general Gazan tomarshal Soult, which
had been intercepted by some Of our par

marching with the wounded and from his
account OF those with him, from the account
Of those at Almendralejo, and those left on

found dead On the field, and the prisoners, the

My LORD,
have the honor to transmit to
your lordship the accompanying intercepted
letters OF some importance after tho severe
battle we hadit is satisfactory to know that
our calculations of-the enemy's loss was not
exaggerated, and you will see by general
Gazan,s letter to marshal Soult, that in kill
led and wouldedit cannot be less than 900
men left dead on the field and taken we
have the knowledge OF near three thousand :;
General Cazen states that he, has mere
than four thousand wounded with him; three
hundred and twenty three were at Almen-
drajelo by the same letters: Gazan says
MANY have died on the road, and which, we
Know must have been the-case, as it is the
lew first days that the bad cases die in num-
oers, and precipitate retreat and want of
convenient carriage must increase the NOR
taiity: thus we can scarcely calculate the
loss of the enemy from these data at less
than nine thousand men.
Our advance was close TO Azuchal and Al
mendralelo, and propose putting a strong
Column OF infantry in march towards those
places tomorrow morning, and shall acosn-
pany it.
Ihave the honor to se, &c.
