Bo,c is the Government to get Money

ITis subject of much inquiry, an inquiry
r,h;cb does not readily meet with u solution,
whence the government IS to obtain FUNDS lor
,bs nrosecution Of the war they have so need
lessly waged. In the letter OF the secretary
of the Treasury, of January 10, l8l2,to the
Committee OF WAYS and Means, we ind the
Secretary Laws it down as the basis OF his re-
mort. that the peace establishment OF the
St.fes during the war, is TO be maintained by
areyenue 20 be derived from imports, iromthe
sales of public lands, and ilon internal taxes
And that the expenses OF the war are 70 oe ue1
frayed by loans, calculating that the sum OIL
ten millions yearly viii be sufficient Tor mat
purpose. We shall take the liberty OF o1er-
Ing a few general observations, with view 10
examine whether the grounds on whlch TINS
statement is made be correct; and II me re-
sources on which the secretary seems SO con
6aently to RELY, be Of so celtain and lneXhaos-
t;ble nature as they should 5e,Sto justify SO lar

duration cannot be foreseen, and whose horrl-
HE consequences the warmest imagination can
HARDLY anficipate.-The train of reasoning In
The renort of the Secretary OF Nov. %, l8 /,
and in the letter above referred to, goes to sup
port the three following proposiuons
lei That a fixed revenue of 100000 dollars
will be sufficient in the event OF war.
Cd. That the duties on imports, taxes on land and
and excuses, and sales of public lands, Will
be s, eicient to produce that sum.
Sd. That aa Just reliance may be placed on
obtaining loans Of sufficient amount to carry
on the war. -
We shall consider the first proposition
The Secretary informs US, that

French Bulletins, 10 1he 25th July.

Tho 9Th and 9th bulletins of the French
grand army of the north, have been resolved.
As usual they are filled with details of battles
aud other war events. 's We occupy Mohi-
low, Orcha, Disna and Po!o,sk, (say the 9th
Balledn,) We are marching on Witcpsk,
where, ilappears, the Russian army IS con-
centrated.'
IL is to be regretted that the Seuensh Bule-
tin of the French grand army is missing or
suppressed, as it must contain the account Of
a very serious affair at Romanofr However,
from the tenor Of the Eighth Bulletin, reca.
Patuiatlng various events resulting from that
action, II is clear that the Russians were de-
feated, and the wholo army thrown into dis
cord and confasion---in consequence Of which,
varons French corps advanced, passed The
: DwiRa, turned the Russian line ON the right
of that river, and obliged them to abandon
their Immensely expensive and formidable
works OF Driifa. BY this bold and skiltui
mannuvre, the French had possession Of the
communication from tho Baltic to the Black
Sea, formed by canal between the Dwina
and the Dniepsr.--Twcnty-s thousand Poles
had deseredthc Russian army from the be-
ginning of the campaign. The Emperor Al
