Resolved, That the contingency upon
which the consent of Massachusetts, was to be
given for the Separation of the District Of
Maine has not happened and that the pow

any measures tending to that event, have
ceased.
Resolved, That it is not expedient for

SR-I have tie honor, at this time, of
laying bofOre you. a report of the opera
tions Of the. mint, during the last year.
From the statement of the treasurer.
herewith Transmitted, it will appear, that
during thst period there have been
struck at the AInt--
la gold coins, 6S5 pieces, amounting
TO S,1T5 dollars:
In silver coins, 60, $50 pieces amount
ING to 1865 dollars making in the
whole 69,S67 pieces. amounting to co.
1875 dollars
The high price Of gold and silver bull
lion, Tor some time past, in the current
paper money of the country, has prevent
ed, and, as long as this shall continue
Ito be the case, must necessarily prevent
deposits Of these metals being made tor
coinage, toy any considerable amount,
but fresh supply Of copper having lately
been received at the mint, we have a
gain resumed the coinage of cents; and
III is believed that We shall in the course
LOT the year, should no failure IN the ex-
lpected supply ofcopper take place, be
Ifully able to cnin fifty tons weight, a.
Imounting to nearly 1900 dollars; and
that, with a regular supply of copper,
which can readily be procured, on terms
highly advantageous to government, we
lean continue to coin fifty tons Per an
nun, as lopg as it may be judged exPe-
idient.
The circulation Of these copper CONS

mint, amounting to s5l,646 dollars-)
