The general claims for militia services and
supplies, arising under the authority of the in
dividual states. as well as of the United States,
have been partially exhibited (; hut neither the
principle ot settlement, nor the amount of the
claims, can at this time bs stated
Ill. In suggesting provisions to pay the
Interest and gradually to reduce the principal
OF the public debt, contracted since the decls-
ration OF war, the inconvenience, which has
been introduced, by making the payment of the
principal and interest of the treasury notes y
charge upon the sinking fund, is greatly to
be iamented. The treasury notes were in
their design, and ought 10 be in their use,
srecies ef circulating medium but it is evident
that sinking fund of S,00o,0Oe of dollars
could never supply the means of paying the
prior Claims, and, also, of discharging pune
tually the whole of the principal, as well as the
interest of annual issues OF treasury notes,
amounting to eight or ten millions of dol rs
IL is Indispensable, therefore, to the E. :: and
beneficial operation of the sinking fund, that it
should be discharged, as soon as possible, from
this burden The means of disengaging it are,
1st by the payment OF the treasury notes out
OF the current revinue; or ID, by funding them
upon reasonable terms, under the act by which
it is proposed to authorize loan for the SER.

Young Marquis

is chestnut sorrel, handsomely marked
with a star and snip, with one white foot,
sixteen hands 2 inches high, four years
old, remarkably well made and active--a
view of Young Marquis, with knowledge
of the stock from which he was bred, will
be sufficient inducements for good judges to
breed from him.
Young Marquis was got by the very just
1y celebrated horse Marquis, of the state
of New Jersey, whose sire was the noted
imported horse Old Rockingham, his dam
by Black Marquis, his grand dam by Old
Mercury, and his great grand dam by
Bullyrock. Young Marquis's dam by
Snap, his grand dam by Badger, both of
which are considered to be equal if not su-
perior to any stock of horses ever introduc-
ed in this neighbourhood.
