Since the LIST Of December last. the paw
menis in cash on account Of the public
debt. exclusive of interest. have amounted
to 81, 50l.456 Sc; which. however. inclu.
ded the sum of So 242 400 paid under the
18th article Of the treaty with Mexico. and
the further sum of 50 591.213 as. being
the amount OF awards to American citizens
under the late treaty with Mexico. for which
the issue of stock was authorized but which
was paid in cash from the Treasury.
The public debt on the Goth ultino. ey-
elusive of the stock authorized to be issued
TO Texas, by the act Of 9th September,
1850. was $62 560.395 &c.
The receipts for the next fiscal year are
estimated at S5I 800. 900. which. with the
probable unappropriated balance in the
Treasury. on the 30th June next. will give.
as the probable available means for that
year. the sum OF 1858 258.743 90.
1t has been deemed proper. in view OF
the large expenditures consequent upon
the acquisition OF territory from Mexico,
that the estimates for the next fiscal year
should be laid before Congress in such
manner as TO distinguish the expenditures
no required from the otherwise ordinary
demands upon tn" Treasury.
The total expenditure for the next fiscal
year are estimated at SAP 892 900 10. Of

sury in reference to the expenditures re-
quired for these Territories shall be met
by corresponding action on the part Of
Congress, and appropriations made in &C.
cordance herewith. there will be an est.
mated unappropriated balance in the
Treasury. or the 3Uth June. 1853. of $780,

ton Of the public debt due on the first of
July following. amounting to S6.937.-
931 So. as well as any appropriations
which may be made beyond the estimates.
In thus referring to the estimated eypen.
ditures on account Of our newly acquired
Territories. | may express the hope that
Congress will concur with me in the desire
that a liberal course OF policy may be pur-
sued towards them, and that every obliga-
ton. express or implied. entered into in
consequences o ftheir acquisition shall be
fulfilled By the most liberia | appropriations
for that purpose.

am happy to announce that an inter
oceanic communication from the mouth Of
the ST. John to the Pacific has been So far
accomplished as that passengers have &c.
tually traversed it and merchandise has
been transported over it; and when the ca.
nal shall have been completed. according
to the original plan, the means Of coMinu-
nication will be further improved.
1t is understood that a considerable part
ofthe railroad across the Isthmus Of Pan.
anna has been completed, and that the mail
and passengers will in future be conveyed
thereon. a-
Whichever of the several routes between
the two oceans may ultimately prove most
eligible for travellers TO and from the dil-
ierent States on the Atlantic and Gulf OF
Mexico and our coast on the Pacific. there
is little reason to doubt that all Of them
will be useful to the public, and will liber-
ally reward that individual enterprise, bv
which ~alone'they have been or are expect.
ed to be carried into effect.
Peace has been concluded between the
contending parties in the Island OF St. Do
ningo, anditi is hoped on a durable basis.
Such is the extent OF our commercial rela-
tons with that island, thatthe United States
cannot fail TO feel a strong in,eres! in its
tranquility.
The office of Commissioner to China re.
mains untitled; several persons have been
appointed. and the place has been offered
10 others, all Of whom have declined its
acceptance, on the ground Of the made.
quacy OF the compensation. The annual
allowance by law is six thousand dollars.
and there is no provision for any outfit. |
earnestly recommend the consideration OF
this subject to Congress. Our commerce
with China is highly important, and is be-
coming more and more so, in consequence
ofthe increasing intercourse between our
ports ofthe Pacific coast and Eastern Asia.
China is understood to be q country in

try at the courts of Europe.
BY reference to the Report Of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, it will be seen that
the aggregate receipts for the last fiscal
year amounted to S52.312.979 81; which,
with the balance in the Treasury on the
first July. 1850. gave. as the available
means for the year, the sum Of $53,9l7,-

The Hotels and Custom Houses burned-Ship-
ring and miilioas Of Property destroyed.
New ORLEANS, June l7th, 1851. +.
From the steamship Alabama arrived we
have our advices. She brings The lamenta-
bic and Astonishing intelligence that the city
of Sanfrancisco has been almos, entirely de-
stroyed by one of the most destructive con-
aaaralions in this or any other land. The
particulars of this terrible disaster are 100
long TO be transmitted by telegraph immedi-
ately and the facts must be very pretty sta
ted.
Property TO the amount of fifteen million
of dollars is believed 10 have been destroy
ed. Among the buildings destroyed are the
custom-house, Union, Parker's, and the ofti-
ces of the steamship company. The fire
spread 10 the shipping, consuming a large
number of vessels lying at the wharves. 1t
was discovered in Clay street and ran
through one dozen blocks, quickly spreading
10 other part; Of the city, a great part OF which
including Centre and Eldorado streets, are
completely Quilted. The utmost consterna-
lion prevailed during the fire and thousands
were left out of house, some having lost
their all. Measures were about being adop-
ted for the relief and shelter Of the sufferers.
1t is feared a number of lives have been
lost. Bushes was entirely lost sight OF. San
Francisco presents a %sorrowing and heart
sickeniug picture. The exertions made in
arresting The flames were on the whole OF
little avail, and so extensive were the Ia
bors of the fire department That but little was
provided by their efforts. The CONSERVATION
of tue inhabitants was very great, and oil
course every thing was in confusion. The
number of persons rendered houseless by
this calamity is beyond calculation, at pres
ent. The news from the mines continues to
be of a cheering character. New discover
les were daily beiNg made, and, and the
prospects of tho miners were highly favora-
bic.
The quartz crushing machines were reap
ing rich rewards in some instances the aver
age per man was from 30 10 so dollars per
day. Lynch law is still in force and several
new examples have been made.

Translated from the French by Thoma',W il
Iiams. Esq, with beautifully illustrated Gov

This novel is founded on the ce sbrated

Cardinal Conan purchased, as he S pposed,
for Maria Antoniette, but which fell into the
hands of a female sharper, who personated
the Queen, and so dooped the poor cardinal.
