REPORT.

The Secretary of state, to whom was re-
ierred the resolution OF the Senate request
ing information on certain points respecting
the trade Of the y. S. to France. has the ho-
nor to report to the President, that he has
examined the files Of this department, and
found no precise information on the subject of
the said resolution, which hasnot been here
toiore communicated to Congress.
Ihatin consequence thersof, he applied to
the French minister for the requisite infor-
nation, who not possessing it, referred the
application to the consul-gencral of France,
from whom as yet, nothing has been receiv-
ed, as viii most fully appear by the accom-
panying letters, marked a. and b. ne,
1t may be proper to observe, that it is gen
orally understood, as well from the letters
OF Mr.. RUSSELL communicated to Congress
at the commencement of the present session,
as from other sources, that the trade of the
u. states to France, is subjected to very Sc
we're restrictions but the precise extent &
nature of them is not distinctly known to this
department. The Instructions of the minis
ter OF the U. 5. at Paris embracing this as
well as other subjects, communications from
that source may soon furnish more particu-
larinformation. An expectation of the spec
dy arrival of dispatches from France, toge-
ther with Il hope that the FRENCH consul
general would have been enabled to throw
some light upon the enquiry, have caused the
postponemcnt of this report until The present
time.

a sum somewhat less than the presumed
surplus OF threc millions, as above stated, *
winch VIII lie nearly sufficient to reimburse
before the year 1928 the whole existing debt
OF the United States, with the exception of
the three per cent. stock. The loans con-
trac;cd during the war being made irrcdec-
nablc tor at least ten years, the hrst reim-
oursemcnt would fall Oh that year and the
whole of the appropriation OF 5 millions, fer
|deducting S tS5 COO for the interest Of the
three per cent. stock, would thcnccforth be
applicable to the payment of the interest s.
principal of the new debt. The precise pc
ROD OF final cXtinguishment, and the pre-
else amount of annual payments will de
pend OH the terms of the loans and OIL the
number of years for which it may be neces-
sary to make each loan irredeemable. But
this sketch is sufficient to show, lst. That
no. Inconvenience will arise in making the
loans irredeemable for ten years. since there
rs not much probability that they could be
sooner discharged. 2dly. That the appro-
priation of eight millions will be sufficient
tor their final reimbursement. 3dly. That
that reimbursement, and that of the whole
debt of the United States (the three per
cent. stock excepted) will probably be cffec ,
Ted within fifteen years after the restoration
VI peace. 1t must always be remember
ed that those estimates are prcdicatcd OH
the supposition that an additional revenue to
he amount already stated will be provided,
and that the increase of debt, during the war,
Will not exceed fifty millions.
In answering the inquiries of the commit
tee on subjects SO intimately connected with
the most important questions of national con-
Germ, it became an imperious duty to repre-
sent every circumstance precisely as it was
or appeared to be, and without eXaggerating
OF Disgusting any of the difficulties which
must be encountered. To understand these
TO their full extent will afford the best means
OF overcoming them and there is none
which appears insurmountable or even dis
couragng What appears to be of vital
Importance is, that the crisis should at once
emet by the adoption of efficient measures,
which will with certainty provide means
commensurate with the expense, Slby preser-
ing unimpaired, instead of abusing, that pub.
credit on which the public resources so G.
ninenty depend, will enable the United
States to persevere in the contest until an
honorable peace shall have been obtained.
