Week before last, we said something a.
bout the Inconvenience which we feared
would arise to our friends in the country,
under he operation Of the late Act of Con-
grcss, reducing the rates of postage, taking
away the ranking privilege from deputy
Postmasters, &c. From the Washington
Union, of the 10th inst, we see that Cave
johnson, the Postmaster General, has
consulted the Attorney General, MIR. Ma
son, as to whether he has power to apply
the appropriations made at tn last session
of Congress, to meet any deficiency in the
revenues Of the Department which may a.
rise, in consequence of the reduction III the
rates of postage. which that Act provides
for. In the bill, as originally reported by
the Committee. if we remember rightly,
thcre was clause approprating seven hun
dreA and fifty thousand dollars out Of the
treasury, to meet any deficit in The receipts
Subsequently, it was provided that the
Postmaster General might draw on the
treasury, for any amount, up to four a"d a
halt millions. This was the amount which
it was estimated would defray the oSpen-
SIS of the Department, for the now current
year. But the question was, had the Post
master General the right 10 apply any of
this appropriation towards increasing the
pay of the deputy Post-masters, when, in
his judgment, he thought the compensation
allowed ;hem under the Act of March As,
was inadequate. The Attorney General
gives it as his opinion, that the post,mas-
ter General has the right. MIR. Johnson
was Of this opinion himself, but it was his
duty to consult with the legal officer of the
administration. They have agreed, and
the Postmaster General has ordered that
| the deputy Postmasters be paid the same
compensation which they received during
the last year. Now what we want to
know, is. docs this order Of Mr.. Johnson

say of the whole world, for the paitry sup
plies which England receives from the
banks Of the Nile, from Surat and from
South America, are mere drops III the buck

of this is, that England breads V ar with

event occur, what would her looms and

continue, even but few years, manutac-

States would step in and take the place
