Department for the present month, which is
nearly completed and wllappear in two or three
days, discloscs, among other matters, the follow
ing facts:
LIST. That the aggregate amount of public
monies now on deposit throughout the Union, is
reduced below four millions of dollars
ID. That the acquisitions on the Treasury De.
partmcnt during the month have been unusually
heavy, while the revenue has diminished and
that the disbursements have exceeded, by $780,
600 the receipts ofthc month.
Sd. That the whole amount of specie in the
vault of the Treasury Department, commonly
known as the Sub-Treasury, does not exceed
100000, and may perhaps, be not more thar
$4,000.
4th That the revenue lately received, and
that which is now coming in, is mostly, or en-
tirely in Treasury notes.
MIR. Walker is sorey driven TO make both ends

made him responsible for the mistakes which

The papers are ~ tccming with accounts
from Mexico, from private individuals and news
paper correspondents. We have published all
the transactions, substantially. of our army now
operating in that quarter. The following, from
the Journal of Commerce, will show the pro-
grcss of invasion on the west coast of Mexico:
Tepic, Sept. IL, 1876. We have now the
disagrceabe task to inform you that Commodore
Stockton has declared the whole Mexican coast
on the Pacific in state of blockade. The Cv-
anc arrived from California off st. Blass on the
I'd of the present month. and sent to the author
tiles on shore the enclosed notification A cou-
ple of coastinr vessels have been seized BY this
corvette. She is cruising off the coast, and &C.
casionally anchors in the bay.
Another vessel has also arrived off Mazatan,
and has cut off the harbor a coasting vessel
We have not heard of her name, but suppose it
will be the Warren. 1t is said that there are
two other vessels coming to blockade Guavama
and Acapulco, so that we shall have a formal
blockade of all the harbors on the coast In
| the present state of aff,iirs nothing can be in
| troduced
The notification of the blockade is the latest
advice which we have from Upper California
but by which you will perceive that Commodore
Stockton had established himself in the capo
as governor &c. 1t is reported that the port.
of Lower California are to be taken possession
Of and San Bias made a rendezvous for the
blockadng squadron and their prizes.
The officers who came on shore at st. Bias
minated that all property and persons Oh shore
would be respected. and that the blockade woult
be enforced in the mildcst manner that the law.
of war permitted and that all neutral propert,
found in Mexican vessels would be given up OF
being claimed by the owners. The blockade
however, will cause an entire stoppage of al
commerce on this side of the Republic, but vii
not produce much sensation among this apathet
ic people.
