The Secretary of the Treasury reports to
the House of Representatives in answer to
Mr.. Darngton's call for information, that no
money arising from Militia fines, in the state
Of Pennsylvania, has been paid into the Treas
ury ofihe U. States. Connecting this fact
With the Information derived from common
report, that something like 100000 dollars
were TO be collected in this way it is one of no
little interest. Mr.. Smith, the late Marshal.
II appears, never paid any money over on
this account 10 Mr.. Conard, the present Mar
sbal, nor gave him any definite information
ON the subject. 1t further appears that the
Deputies ofthe late Marshal had generally re /.
fused to pay over to the present Marshal the
balances n their hands, and it also appears
from papers delivered over by Mr.. Smith, and
from information derived from other sources,
tliat Lewis Defebach one of DIr. Smiths

We learn by letter from Canton, of
the 4th Feb. that the differences with
the English were adjusted, and the En-
glish vessels permitted to 60 up and
load. The letter states that the terms
insisted upon by the Chinese, were COM
Piled with by the English traders, who
have agreed to send out two men from
England within fixed period, to be gi-
ven to appease the death of the Chinese
subjects.
The arrival Of the Dorothea, at Phi.
ladelphia gives us the following article
which seems not exactly in unison with
the above.
Capt. Hartman, of the Dorothea, from
Canton, informs us, that the English
company ships still remained at Chum-
pee on the 9Th, and were busily employ
ed in loading the Kemp. from the other
ships, in order to despatch her for Lon
don, previous to their sailing for sinca-
pour, having already loaded and DIES
patched the Repulse, and another ship
home. The Frigate Topaz which eau
sed the suspension of the trade, sailed
on the Sth for"Penang, the. Admirals
station. Capt. III. learned from an Off
Ger who came on board at Chumpee.
that it was the intention of the Compa-
ny as soon as they dispatched the Kemp,
and unloaded a country ship, from Ben
gal of cotton, on their account, to sail

/ the North and South Americans were po-
litically and geographically brothers ana
sisters aud that il gave us great pleasure
| that their visits afforded an opportunity OF
more closely uniting the bonds OF friend
ship"
The writer next speaks of having diped
together with the other officers OF the
Franklin on board the British sloop OF war
Blossom. The compliment was reclpro-
Gated by the American officers. I" They
seem much disposed" says he, $ to cult
vate good fellowship and good feeling, and
| they meet corresponding disposition on
our part. They speak without reserve on
the propriesy Of avoiding every thing CAL
cuated to excite national feelings andpre-
JUDGES; and trust this good beginning
may have good end. IN truth | never
saw so much unrestralned cordiality be-
tween Englishmen and Americans and |
must do them the justice to add that they
are gentlemen in the full sense OF the
word"
The season of the ear was unfavorabie
to seeing Chill to advantage. as the luxurl-
ance of the vegetable kingdom prevailed
during the rainy season Of winters in tew
months they expected to see'the parched
and apparently barren hills arrayed in
all the pomp aud glory Of Flora's gayest
colours The wheat crops had been
cut short by Insects.
OF the political state of the country the
writer says little but observes that the Chi
lians appear to be united in their detesla-
ton of the Spanish despotism, and ready
to sacrifice their lives in resisting their old
| masters. Indeed" says he, Sin this they
are ron, ontscly patriotic, and brave to in
discretion; but their rulers. it is to be fear
ed are destitute of disintered patriotism,
and the populsce too ignorant to perceive
that change from foreign despotism to
domestic tyranny is not calculated to I'M
prove their condition"
| Some difficulty. it appears, existed be-
tween Lord Cochrane and Gen. San Mar
tin. Reports untavorable to the latter,
| were in circulation, and such epitbets as
selfish" "cruel, " detestable," "vil-
lain," and "plunderer. were applied to
him. The Chilians reJoiced that Coch-
| rane was appropria!ing to his own purpose
500 900 dollars of the sum which San
Martin entrusted to his safe keeping, and
which constituted one half OF the amount of
which he had defrauded the Chilian CO.
