RETRENCHMENT OF EXPENSES. DECLINE OF THE
REVENUES.

We would like TO have it understood that there is
wide difference between tho decline Of the public
revenues and the extravaganza Of the adninistra-
ton. This difference may be best illustrated by
stating two current facts in connexon with the rove-
nues and the appropriations aud expenditures Of the
government during tho present year
FIRST The receipts into tho treasury have greatly
declined.
Secondly. The expenditures of the government
have been less than heretofore.
Those who charge the President with the issue
Of treasury notes and bonds should credit him
with the current deficit Of the in order to
got at the true state of the accounts Had the
income Of the treasury been wholly cut off, it is
manifest that still larger amount Of notes snd bonds
would have been required meet expenses
because the amount Of cash on hand was insufh-
cient, nor would the administration be properly
chargeablc with such condition of things The re-
cent revusion, acting directly upon foreign trade,
has reduced the revenues moro than one-half; and
this fact is sufficient justification for the issue Of
treasury notes and bonds The present condition Of
monetary affairs was, to great extent, anticipated
by the head Of the Treasury Department and by the
Congress TO limit the appropriations to correspond
with the diminished receipts Of tho cxchequer.
These efforts, too in spite of the extraordinary de-
nands arising from the despatch of large force to
Utah, have been, in great degree successful. The
expenses of the government have been largely re-
trenched. motifs amount proportioncd to the dinin-
ished receipts, because that was impossible.
Besides, il is believed the striking diminution Of
The incomes of the treasury cannot be of long con-
tiauance The almost complete suspension Of i'm.
ports which have witnessed within the last eight
or nine month"; indicates rather healthy and recu-
perativs process by which the enterprise of the
natien will recover its wontcd tone and energy
We know Of no possible injury which is likely to
tsssalt from tho present depression to any Of our
rsst interests, not to the treasury ITSELF which
enduring temporary embarrassment, will be placed

NJ. BELLY'S PROJECTS IN NICARAGUA AND Gen
TRIAL AMERICA tt

There can be doubt that the proceedings of
Monsieur Belly tho pseudo agent of the French En-
peror in Nicaragua have been without the authority
and are without the sanction of the French govern
ment. Involving as the operations Of this person
age did, if they had been official clear violation of
the welknown policy of this government in regard
to European colonization and the establishment of
exclusive European jurisdiction on this continent it
was not to have been supposed that the French gov
ernment could have authorized the action which has
been taken by him in Nicaragua. But our Secretary
Of State has not been left to friendly conectures on
this subject; for the French government has been
very prompt to tender the fullest and most sasfac-
tory disavowals Of all completely in the recent trans-
actions Of M. Belly in the premises. That person
age is not in Nicaragua in the character of dpo.
mist agent of his government; but only as an in
dividual engaged in the prosecution of private enter
prise and in the establishment of private interests
His operations in Nicaragua therefore, at once sink
from the dignity Of great national movement of the
French government into the proportions of private
speculation of French adventurer
We believe it is in tho contemplation Of the ad-
Ininistration to order larger naval force than we
have heretofore had into the waters of Central
America and the Gulf; but this will be not on
account Of any new demonstrations of interference
by foreign powers in that quarter but with the gen
eral design Of moro eectuay protecting the lawful
rights Of our citizens and guarding our national in
terests from jeopardy in that part of the world.

ELoPEMENT.-We learn from the Herald that
Mr.. Robert J. Hawley, who has oficiated as Sex
ion of the Home Chapel" disappeared on Tues
day last, and that Rebecea Raymond, who was liv-
ing as servant with the Manx Family on the cor
ner of Oak and Walnut streets, disappeared at the
same time. The parties were both English and
came TO this country six or seven years ago in the
same ship, Rebecca being in company with her
father. The families (Hawley has a wife and sew
eral children) have been on intimate terms until
the present time. Last Tuesday evening the girl
told her employers that she wished to spend the
evening on the West Side, and started with that
ayOwed intention. Since that time nothing has
been heard of her.
Hawley took with him all the money he could
raise, amounting to about 800, He was so grasp
ing thathe took from his little daughter 81 with
which she was going to buy presents. The girl is
supposed to have about $50 with her Hawley has
hitherto borne an unexceptiOnabe character treat
ing his wife with the utmost kindness, providing
for his family and sustaining general good repu-
tation. He is nearly forty years of age. Rebecca
is twentytw years old. The families of both are
in the greatest distress in regard to them They
had heen previously well acquainted, but no i'm
proper intimacy was suspected. The Herald adds
Taken altogether this is one of the most astound
ing disclosures that las been made in this city tOl
many months. A man, who has hitherto been con
sidered very pattern of prOpriety and morality,
good husband and affectiOnate father, suddenly vi
