The revenues as now established, are es-
timated to produce during the year 1915,
the following sums, viz.
Customs. While the whole navy of the
enemy is disposable for the inter- upton
of our trade, this source of revenue can
not be very productive. From bonds
which will be out standing at the com
mencement of the year 1915, and from
the duties which will accrue during that
year, it is estimated tn at there will be
received in the treasury 1900, 900
Sales OF Public Lands, 800, 1000
Internal Duties. These will
all bring their full amounts
into the Treasury during the
year 1915, and will, it is be-
lieved, produce net sum
of 100000
Arrears of direct tax of 1914,
which will be received in
1915, 100000
Postage and ether incidental
receipts 100000
Total amount 5000, 900
and leaving to be provided $500, 900
1880. 900
Towards making up this sum of !, 500, 900
dollars, continuance of the direct tax will
it is believed, be necessary, bat at its pre-
sent rate, 1t will not produce net to the
Treasury more than 100000 dollars.
In order to provide the remaining sum of
100000 dollars, as well as such other
sums as may be deemed requisite for the
objects herein before suggested, it will be
for Congress to consider how far it would

The difficulties already experienced in
obtaining loans, and the terms Oh which
it has been found necessary to accept them
sufficiently shew the propriety OF Congress
adopting effective measures for procuring
the SUNS still required for the service
of the residue of the present, as we'll as
for that of the ensuing year.
The suspension of payments in specie
by many Of the most considerable banks In
the U. States, and of those most impor-
tant in the money operations of the Urea
sury, has produced, and will continue to
cause difficulties and embarrassments in
those operations. The circulating medium
of the country, which has consisted prin-
cipai'y of bank notes, is placed upon new
and uncertain footing and those diffical
ties and embarrassments will extend In a
greater or less degree into the pecuniary
operations of the citizens in general. The
powers of Congress, so far as they extend,
will be required to be exerted in providing
remedy for these evils; and III placing,
if practicable, the currency of the country
on a more uniform, certain and stable foot
ing.
If further reliance must be had on loans,
1t is respectfully suggested, that additional
inducements should B's offered to capitalists
to advance their money, by affording an
ample and unequivocal security for the re-
gular payment Of the interest, and reim-
bursement of the principal of such loans
as may be obtained. This may be effected
by establishing an adequate revenue and
pledging the same specifically for that
purpose.
1t is also submitted for the consideration
of Congress whether Treasury Notes might
not, By augmenting the rate Of interest
they now bear, and securing its payment
as well as their eventual reimbursement,
by'an adequate revenue pledged for that
purpose, be placed on a footing better cal
culated than at present, to sustain their
credit, encourage their circulation, and aus
wer with more certainty the purposes of
the government.
The estimates for the service of the year
1915 have not yet been prepared Il is Ger.
tain, however, if the war continues, that
sum will be required, at least equal to
that demanded for the present year; and
under the head Of public debt, an addition
al sum sufficient for the payment OF the
interest on the loans made in the mean
time. ~.s
By the plan of finance which was adopt
ed at the commencement of the present
war, this additional sum would be all that
would be required to be raised by new
taxes during the year 1915, except what
might be necessary to make good def
cheney in any Of the existing revenues
According to that plan of finance, the ex-
penditures to be covered by the revenue
during the year 1878, would be Is follows !:
Expence of the peace
establishment 1000, 600
Interest on the debt exist
ing prior to the war 100000
Interest on the debt con-
tracted since the war,
including Treasury
Notes, and including
the interest which will
become payable dur
ing the year 1915, on
debt contracted within
that year 4,600,O 600

It's impossible to ascertain correctly the loss Of

Conhance, / calculate the number of men on board
that ship at the commencement of the action at

more, making in the whole, killed and wounded,
200. This is doubtless short Of the real nGmber.

Extract from The Prince Regents Sheech.
The war between this country and the u
niud States Of America still continues but
l have the satisfaction TO inform you, that the
MEASURES ADOPTED by the governmens of the
Unted States, for the conquest Of Canada,
haze been frustrated by the yalor of his Ma
jesy's troops, and by the zeal aud loyalty OF
hi American subjects.
Whilst Great Britain, in conjunction with
he allies, IS exertiDg her utmost strength a
ganst the Common enemy of Independent: Nd
tiuns, it must be matter OF deep regret to find
anaddltional enemy in the government Of a
co,ntry, whose real interest in the issue OF
tbs great contest, must be the same a. our
own.
1T is known TO The world that this country
wss not the aggres,or IN this war.
f" have not hitherto seen any disposition
on the part Of the government of the United
States to close il, of which could avail my
sef consistently with due attention to the
inerests OF his MaJes,y's subjects.
!" am at all times ready TO enter into dis.
crssions with that government for conciiia-
tory adjustment of the differences between
the-two countries, upon principles of perfect
reciprocity not inconsistent with the establish
cd maxims Of public law, and with the mari
time lights Of the British empire"
