SIR-I have Just received from the War
Department detailed estimate Of the sums
required 10 be paid out of the Treasury to
meet the pensions which fall due on the
4th of March next. The amount payable
to the pensioners on that day is 81 1926, :

A large portion OF tnoL sum appears %
be for the arrearages due to widows and
orphans under the act Of July, 1888, foI
whom no appropriation was made during
the last session of Congress. That por.
ton exceeds half a million.
It must be obvious that in the existing
lcondition of the Treasury in the first quar-

met with the other current expenses anC

Star received:
eve do not know which most to ad-
mire, the audacity of those brigands in
sending US their pedIar, (meychante,) to
ask us to allow them the quiet and paci-

answer the commandant general gave to
the individual who apprised him of the
arrival of this Quixotic ambassador.
From The tenor of the reply, it appears
that if he lands, he will be accommodate
ed with lodgings at the prison. Never
theless, the supreme government will
designate what definitely ought to be
done. The commandant says, he is not
aware of the existence of a nation cal
led the republic of Texas, but only Of

the laws of the government of the re-
