crew that they might work or not just as they
pleased-that he had possessin OF the vessel;
and ordered the anchor let 90.
At noon the British an.of-war anchored
close to the w. and F. and the commander
came on board with two boats crews, armed.
The first boarding officer told his commander
that Captain F. refused to deliver up his feg-
ister, and held it for their perusal, as before
stated. The commander persisted in having
possession Of the register, which Captain +.
would not permit, for fear Gifts being destroyed,
as the officers said they, believed the w. and F.
to be Spanish property underAmerican papers.
The commander then ordered the crew ofthe
w, and F. .mustred; after whichs the vessel
was searched in the cabin, in trunks, and among
clothing belonging to the officers and crew;
sealed letters were opened, and also barrels Of
bread. The English commander said that if
he found twenty barrels Of bread on boards ne
would take her as prize to Sierra Leone; aud
had he fallen In with her previous to discharg
mo. and found the specie on board, he would
have condemned her Immediately. Capt F
} said ifhe had done so he would have commit

legally SHIPPED, for which bills OF ladlng had
been signed. The Englishman, in range
called Captain F. damned saucy Yankee
About 5 D. m. they lett the w. and F. afte

The Secretary Of the Treasury sent to
,ho Senate on Friday a short report on the
revision ofthe Tariff, in obedience to
resolution Of that body.
The gist Of the report, after excluding
redundant verbisge, is this.
The reduction in the duties, on imports |
which is to take place in ls42, is about
five millions Of dollars.
The chief existing law on the subject IS
the Compromise Act Of 1888, which the
Secretary proposes not to disturb ny his
revision.
II any changes are made, they should
be sole for purposes ofrevenre'
That these changes should be confined
to articles not paying duty so high as 20
per cent, and that generally, it should not
90 above that rate
That the existing provisions for the pay.
rnent of duties in cash, and the assessment
&c them on the value ofthe merchandise
at the port of entry after 1912, ough. to be
regarded.
II IS doubtless sound axiom to select
for highest taxation articles ofluxury, ra'
Their than Of necessity.
II Is expedient to select such articles OF
luxury as compete most with slminr artI-
cles of American growth or manufacture,
though not to tax them above 20 per cent
Il may be useful, also, to select these
articles, for an increased impost, which
may be proper for countervailing injurious
imposts, placed on our own productions By
80 ~ roiOn nr,uvpr.
There are some anomalies in the pre-
sent tarIffwhicifmight be abolished sucl
as determinations more favorable to luxu
RES than to necessities.
The value of free articles imported i
1888 exclusive Of specie, was about e3sr
16I,5s3. A duty Of Is per cent on thes
would weld nett revenue near the iv
millions that may be needed in lS42.
Selecting from the free articles thos
which may be regarded most as luxurle
as teas, cofees, silks, &C., and addin
them 10 those which conflict with Amer
can productions, as worsteds, linens, DC
and there would be an amount $29,O26
44s .(taking the year 1888 still as guid
on which duty of 20 per cent would al
weld the uuiOuuh VI oOSNS nv N'At
On some articles not now free, but pa
inc a duty oFless than Is or 90 per eel
The tax might be raised. Wines are
this description
Half the amount of increased du
should be made to accrue only from
1st of January, in 1912, and the resid
commence the first of July next there
ter.
The warehouse system might be ada
ted and adopted.
It might be expedient to provide for
assessment of the whole Of the higher CT
of duties after 1912 on the Gd UGIOT
principle. >,
Some lofthe large drawbacks and Boz
Ties now allowed, could be benefcially
duced SO as to correspond in the prop
tons with the reduced duties.
This, we believe, is tolerable synol
ofMr Woodbury's report Of revision, v
the exception Of that part oft which mi
" describes the stipuiations and rest
i,ons ofthe existing tariff. We have
terposed no opinions of our own.
