speaking of the President, says
ale entertains doubt that the general pros

measures recommended by him, nor that he has
originated the whole of our financial system. On
occasion he remarked, that if there not a

either evying taxes, or borrowing money. On be-
ing asked how no would provide the ways nd
means Or sustaining our army and navy, he re-
piled that perfectly easy-why said he, l
would issue bills payable at four and an half or five
per cent. interest. He says, the payment of our
national debt will have wonderful moral influence
other countries and that he believes it will cause
other governments and nations to pay off their
tonai debts. When talking about paying off the
national debt, he frequently becomes quito cnthusi
aStic. Ona recent occasion, he SAID he would pay
off the national debt in nine months. The Senate,

force, OF speedy and thorough redress for the LONG

against the Government of the Celestial Empire.
Inc Chinese do not seem yet, to apprchend any

OF the arrival of the armed force, and rely upon
repetition OF former examinations to disputes of this
nature.
Upon no previous occasion has SO formidable a
demonstration been made by the officers of his Ma

issue: No fleet has, at any previous time been or

from ITS Government satisfaction for oppressive
