LOAN OF 7,soo.ooO DOLLARS.


On Saturday last, being the day fixed for
receiving proposals for the loan of 100000
dollars, authorized by an act of the last session
OF Congress, proposals for more than twelve
millions and half Of dollars were offered 10
the Secretary oflhe Treasury. The loan was
taken at SO dollars IS cents in money for 100
dollars in stock bearing an interes, Of s per
cent. The privilege Of prompt payment for
the latter intalments not being given TO the
tenders in this loan, measure which subjects
the Treasury TO pay interest on the money be.
iorc il is wanted, the terms are one per ccn'
better TO the government, than those on which
the loan Of sixteen millions was contracted
;or six months since.
IL thus appears that the loan closed in a
manner the most satisfactory, and promising
very gtsst facility and advantage ~ any future
occasion The several offers accepted were
by he excess OF their amount beyond the SUN
,u'horised to he loaned, obliged TO be reduced
30 per cent. on thci- amount. This result
.fords . sure pledge to the government of
,nple resources, as far ss il may be necessary

gratifying to the friends Of the government

What gratitude ought our naval victories
to excite in the heart of every American to
wards our brave tars !-They have raised the
national character, and added a personal dig
nifty to every American. These arc the men

These arc the men whose rights Mr.. Picker
ing say, are not worth defending. 1t is bet
ter, says this wrelched old man, in his letter
10 Gov. Sullivan, to suffer the British to take
