The finances of the Republic are in the most
fourishiuy condition. The whole expenses of
their Government do not much exceed a million
and half sterling, including the civil, military,
and naval departments. Our civil list only, costs
very nearly as much. The whole debt of the
United States is but Is millions sterling. little
than half of our outstanding Exchequer bills, and
about 3-5ths OF one years interest on the debt oil
England. The set apart Tor the redemption |
of debt in the United States amounts to I-l3th OF
the whole national debt remaining due, and TO
G. ;hs Of the whole ordinary expense of the Go
yernnent! So much for economy and foresight.

Spanish prisoners who fell into their power. It's
not known what fate is reserved for those Colon

very certain is, that Decree of his Catholic Ma

bands OF the American Insurgents We must add,
that this Decree was issued after long diplomatic
correspondence on the official answers of the Co.
