cation. The reports had nearly all been
read before the Convention when our in
formant left.
1t will be borne in mind that the Con-
vention can do nothing decisive as to the
location Of the route. They can only collect
the best information & submit it to the Cor
poraton for their decision. In actthere was
a general understanding among the dele
gates, for the purpose ofpreserving harmo-
ny and avoiding sectional differences, that
no peculiar location should be spoken of,
even in private conversation.
A patriotic zeal for the success of the
undertaking was manifested by the dele
gates, from all sections; and, altogether,
the meeting was characterized by a har-
mony truly gratifying, and which it is not
doubted will be continued till the close of
its session. The Convention was en-
pected to adjourn on the Sth.
The Secretary of the Treasury, under
, the direction Of the President, has issued 4
circular to the receivers Of public monies
requiring them TO receive nothing in pay
ment for public lands after the 18th of Au-
gust, but gold and silver. But for quanti-
ties of land not exceeding 32O acres, the
l..ou.es formerly received may be tuken till
December 18th.
The aggregate amount ofapproprialions
made by the acts passed during the late
session of Congress is about thirty-five
millions Of dollars. Ofthis amount it is
curious to sec the very large proportion
made for objects connected with our In
dian relations. For carrying into effect
treaties or supprcssing hostities with the
Indian tribes, exclusive Of the expenses
Of TIE Army proper,) the amount aPpro-
priated is more than thirteen millions anda
half dollars. The appropriations for the
Army amount to four millions of dollars:
for the Navy, to six millions and quarter;
tor Notifications, to nearly three millions;
for harbours, TO over one million; tor the
Cumberland road, six hundred thousand
dollars; besides three millions Of dollars
for the Civil List.
Notwithstanding this enormous amount
of appropriations, there is no doubt that
the surplus in the Treasury on the lst OF
January next, subject to distribution un-
der the late act of Congress, will exceed
twenty millions ars.--Nalional In

! Passcngers'--We learn from a source
entitled to credit, that the sleerage passage
Of over 10000 persons has been paid to
different agents, in England, Ireland, and
Scotland, for persons to leave there for
America, prior to July, most of whom will
arrive at this port. From the best calcu-
Iations we can make, there will be from
10000 to 100000 emigrants arrive here
between the months of May and Noyem-
