The conveyance of correspondence between
this and foreign countries, and between the AT
lantic and Pacific portions of the United States,
has become large and important branch OF our
mail service. The means provided for this con-
veyance consist of sixteen steamships now in
actual service, with four more to be added under
the existing contracts. Connected with this SER
vice is the land service across the lsthmus Of
Panama, which is performed by the government
of New Granada, under treaty providing n
stipulated compensation, according to the weight
of the mails.
The whole duty of the Government in regard
to our correspondence with foreign countries,
is not discharged by simply providing and
supervising the means of conveyance. Arrange
ments should be made with the countries to
which our steamship lines extend, to specify and
secure mutual and satisfactory terms for the in
terchange of mails, and for the uninterrupted
transit of our correspondence, in the mails of
those countries, to the countries beyond. With
Germany such arrangements have been already
made. They yet remain to be adjusted with
France; but the subject is now in charge of our
diplomatic representatives, and an early and fl
vorable termination of their negotiations is an
ticipated.
in respect to our correspondence with the
West Indies and South America, some specific
arrangement is desirable and the early passage

For more detailed statement Of the fiscal
condition and affairs of the Department, you are
respectfully referred to Che report Of the Audi
tor, hereto annexed. .
The new contracts for mail transportation IN
the Northern section composed of the States OF
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New orK'
made in the spring of lS49, showed an increase
of annual compensation of $96,9ol being an
increase of more than eighteen per cent. upon
the previous cost of that section.
The new contracts made under the lettings OF
last spring for the Western section of the Union,
embracing the States of Michigan, Indiana, Hi
nois. Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Ten
nessee Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisi-
ana, and Texas, and the Territories, exhibit a
still greater increase in the annual cost of trans
portation in that section
This increase is estimated in the contract
office at Ss236,696 per annum, being about 20
per cent. advance upon the annual cost OF that
section under the contracts in force up 10 the
end of the last fiscal year. Or tins, about 10
and four-ffths per cent is attributable to the IN
crease of service in that section, and about IA
and one-fifth per cent. to the Increased rate OF
compensation provided for in the late contracts.
The increased cost in the other sections OF
the Union under the orders for the Improvement
and extension of the service on existing mail
routes, made by the Postmaster General during
the first quarter of the current fiscal year, will
amount, (after deducting the curtailments Or
dered,) to $l2,470 90

To meet these expenditures the Department
must rely on the receipts Of hostages, the annual
appropriation of 100000 under the 10Th sec
,ion of the act of l847, which has been before
referred to, and the trAing appropriation made
at the last session of Congress as a compensa-
ton for the transportation of the matter sent
free Trough the mails, under the act for taking
the seventh census.
Before giving an estimate of the revenue of
the current year, it is proper to remark that no
reliable estimate of the receipts from postage
can be made The increase for the year ending
June 30, l847, was II 27-l00 per cent. for the
year ending June 80, lS4S, only 7 43-lOO per
cent and for the year ending June 80, ls49
IA 2O-lOO per cent. being an average, for the
three years, of 10 96-l0O per cent. and the in
crease for the year ending June 30, 1850, ex-
