How ENGLAND PRAcrIsEs NEurRALrrY.-The
London journals seem to take unusual pains to
convince their readers that the government OF
England Is strictly neutral in its relations with
this country. The said journals surely must be
aware how little foundation there is for their
assertions, or else they are wilfully deceiving
the English public. There can exist no doubt
as to the treachery Of the government of her
Britannia Majesty towards our administration.
Since the commencement of the war over one
hundred vessels have cleared from Nassau for
New Brunswick, not one OF which ever reported
at the latter colony. Many OF these ships have
been captured by our cruisers while endeavoring
to break the blockade. English capital thus
loses from ten to fifteen millions Of dollars: but
il is no wise daunted, and continues to clear
ships from Nassau for New Brunswick. OF
course the Custom House officials OF the former
place are aware OF the deceit they lend them
selves to in this matter, as is the home govern.
ment in England. On the day that the ship
Griswold arrived at Liverpool laden with food
sent by us to the starving operatives Of Ian
cashire, the English steamer Dolphin sailed from
that port for the seeded States with cargs OF
war munitions. An i'll return for kind deed.
and striking commentary upon English reu-
trality.

ExrRAvAGANcE or THE FRENCH CorEr-"he
fearful extravaganza Of the court OF Lsuis
XIV. laid the foundation for the horrors Of the
French Revolution. The extravagance Of Va
poleons court will plunge France once more
into revolution il they continue. We receive
each week descriptions from abroad OF tetesand
masquerades which have becon insanelyex ex-
travagant. Ladies spend from thirty THOUSAND to
fifty thousand francs for a fancy costume. and
that while hundreds OF thousands are starring
for bread in the provinces. Poor Marie Artoi-
nette fastened her dreadful fate by her bnd-
ness for travesties. Her fetes were modest in
deed, however, when compared to the mad
freaks which are now causing all Europe to
wonder The French were amazed at Marie
Antoinette, because she was foreigner, en-
joying private theatricals and playing at She
perdess while they were distressed for food.
Those maskers in Paris are dancing over
volcano which will surely engulf them they
do not take care.

In this estimate we include all able-bodied
forty-6ve years. Making liberal allowances for
the able-bodied young men between eighteen
and twenty, who are excluded by the act, and
for all other exemptions, we think the available
white militia forces of the loyal portions of the
Union-States, parts Of States and Territories
may be safely set down as fully up to he grand
aggregate of four millions Of mes--olmost equal
TO The entire ,ohite population, men, nomen and
children, Of The rebel Stotes From this sum
total, under the Presidents several requi-
sitions-irst for $4,000, second for 5000
third for 100000, and fourth for 800 ,000-there
have been drawn an aggregate, we dare say,
not exceeding one million OF men; and OF this
aggregate there are now some 100000 in the
field. The killed, wounded and missing and
those who have died Of disease, and those who
have been withdrawn from the field In conse-
quence OF the expiration Of their terms Of
volunteer service, will make up the difference
of three hundred thousand men.
Thus It appears that with 100000 men In the
field, and . naval force equal, for the purposes
Of this war, TO an army Of half million Of
men, we have a militia reserved force Of three
millions 10 fall back upon. The armed forces
of the rebellion in the field, on the other hand,
can hardly exceed four hundred thousand men,
and they are unsupported on the water except
by two or three piratical Flying Duichmen,
roaming about on the Atlantic, and few es-
temporizcd iron. clads Of the Merrimac and A.

MISTAKES MADE by THE FRENCH IN MExIco.-
We see by our latest advices from Europe that
still further reinforcsments are to be sent by
Napoleon to Mexico. The great difficulty which
the French have to contend with in that coun-
try is the want Of transportation, and until
they obtain the means for the speedy move
ments of troops reinforcsments will be more in
the way than aiding In contrast with the inefi-
cheney Of transportation which cripplcs the
movements of the French in Mexico Is the
course pursued by us at the date Of our cam
paign in that country. Quartermastcr General
Jessup furnished the army with such means for
transportation as to avoid the delay Of All hour
in our movements. He furnished teap,s in such
proiusion as to cause military critics to cry out
that wasteful provision had been made. The
results, however, proved the sagacity of our
Quartermastcr General, and insured our success.
The French will never succeed In Mexico until
they have learned to conduct their campaign
a. we did ours.

FACTS ron SECRETARY WErLEs.-The last
steamer left San Francisco with million and q
quarter of dollars on board. The British
steamer Solent sailed from Aspinwall very re-
Gently with five millions on freight. The
steamer Ariel, which arrived here few days
ago, brought oaly quarter Of million. These
are important facts for Secretary Wellcs. If
he had had the naval forces Of the country pro-
perly organized and distributed along the
coast and Atlantic seaboard instead Of quar-
ter of'a million. we should have more than
million By every arrival from Aspinwall

Power OF the Loyal states.
The bill for enrolling and calling out the
militia forces of the United States has become
q law Of the land. For the information Of our
readers, we this morning rspublish it in
full. The substance of the bill, how
ever, is comprehended in its first section, which
provides that 'all able-boded male citizens
(whites, Indians and negroes), and persons of
foreign birth who shall have declared on oath
their intention to become citizens, between the
ages OF twenty and forty-iive years, except as
hereinafter excepted, are hereby declared to
constitute the national forces, and shall be
liable to perform military duty in the service of
the United States when called out by the Presi-
dent for that purpose"
Now lot us briefly consider the comparative
strength of the forces Of the Union thus placed
at the service Of the President for the purpose
of putting down the armed forces of the rebel
lion From the census statistics of 1860 (white
basis) we make out the following as

THE DECENcIEs OF THE NEGRoW ,RsHIP-
PERs.-The negro worshipping journals seem to
be considerably annoyed at the fact that some
leading republicans have presented to Mrs.
General Mcclellan a handsome residence M
. token of their esteem for herself aud her hus-
band. The journals were very anxious to con-
tradict the announcement Of this presentation
when it was first mentioned in the HERALD. and
rushed off to ascertain whether the property
was duly recorded imagining, it seems, that
Mrs. Mcclellan would rush off with her title to
the property aud have it registered in haste.
When it became evident to the journals referred
to that the donation had been made, they in
dulged in slurs upon the affair, considering it
extremely queer that only one persons name
appeared in the matter as regards the payments
made for the property" What could be more
natural. however, than that treasurer should
have been appointed to pay over the sums sub
scribed by number of gentlemen! We should
not have mentioned this contemplate attempt
to injure the man most feared by the negro
worshippers were it not that lady's name is
mixed up in most ruffianly manner with the
affair. That such should be the case is sufficient
comment The public will Judge at its true
value the vile slander, though they will not be
astonished ct its PRONUNCIATION, which is on
par with the usual course pursued by the
negro-worshippers.

Of the Treasury. Congress has given him COM
plete control both Of the sword and the purse.
He can call every man In the country, Jew or
Gentle, bond or free, into bis army, and his
treasury is like the portemonnaie of Fortunstus,
which wish will fll. Let him use this power
rightly, and all is well.
When this war called for increased financial
resources Secretary Chase had two schemes be-
fore him, both sanctioned by high precedent.
These schemes were the plan of Napoleon and
that of Pitt Napoleon raised all his money by
taxation. He issued no legal tender paper to
pay his military debts. He taxed his own peo-
pie and levied upon the provinces he con-
quered. In this way he generally managed to
make war pay its own expenses as he went
along. Pitt taxed the English for half the
amount he required and issued legal tender
for the other half By this means he carried Eng
land through long war without raising gold
to 80 great premium as it has reached now, in
this country, before our war has lasted two
years. Secretary Chase might have adopted
either of these plans. The people were clamor-
ous to be taxed, and were rich enough to be
taxed heavily. But Mr.: Chase chose to be origi-
nal. Napoleon and Pitt were deemed old
fogies, and Chase began by issuing legal tender,
and ends by taxation; for, singularly enough, the
very last of his measures is the one taxing local
currency. This idea reminds us Of the madman
who wanted to build house upside down, with
its foundation in the air. The foundation of
Mr.. Chase's currency should have been taxa
ton: it was legal tender notes. Taxation
comes like an after thought. If we had
begun by passing the tax bills, follow
ed this up by bonds, and then issued
legal tender for the deficiency, the bonds would
have kept legal tender at par, or nearly so, and
the taxes would have sustained the bonds.
Now we have legal tender, bonds and taxes all
in tumble, and it will require very shrewd
fnancier to bring order out Of this chaos For
such a dnancier we must look to our armies.
touch of electricity often restores con-
glomeration Of atoms to symmetrical FORM The
world is supposed to have been shaped from
chaotic gases by fash of electric power.
We have the electricity which will reorganize
our currency in one simple word victory.
Let us have victories, and gold will fall, in
spite of the grasping, greedy, unpatrotic specu-
lators Of Wall street. Let us have victories,
and our taxes will be cheeriully paid, bonds
will be easily negotiated, and legal tender
money will be eagerly received in preference
to local bank bills. Napoleon and Pitt pre-
pared their finances to endure either triumph
or disaster. Secretary Chase has given us
system which is adapted only to success. Fail
ure is ruin and there must be no such word as
fail. Let the President remember that with die
tator's powers goes a dctator's responsibility,
and that the only way to retrieve the finances
of the country is to urge on the war. Our
army is our treasury, and we must never draw
upon it for victory and have our draft un-
honored.
The New York herald., 1863-03-02
The Financial Condition OF the Coun-
trv.

try.
The passage in Congress on Saturday last of
the bill taxing banks concludes the series of
financial measures urged by the administration,
and invests Secretary Chase with more power
than was ever possessed by any other Secretary
Of the Treasury. lie is now authorized to sell,
at whatever price he may choose, nine hundred
millions Of dollars worth of bonds, to run not less
than ten nor more than forty years He is permit
ted to issue four hundred millions of dollars in
Treasury notes, to run not more than three years,
to bear any interest he pleases under six per cent,
and to be a legal tender or exchangeable for
legal tender notes on presentation, as he may
desire. He is allowed to issue one hundred and
fifty millions Of dollars more in legal tender
notes (including the one hundred millions lately
authorized by joint resolution) If he deems
it necessary. In other words, Congress has
placed the finances Of the country entirely in
the hands Of Secretary Chase, and through him,
under the control of President Lincoln. The
following table will show the amount of paper
money we are about to have, without including
the one hundred and fifty millions Of new legal
tender authorized to be used in converting the

The best thing which can be said of this re-
cord is that we could not do otherwise under
the circumstances. Secretary Chase started our
finances upon the wrong tack, and We had no
choice but to go ahead or back out of the war;
That an unparalleled expansion Of credit and
to deny. Instead of wasting time in grumbling
at this state Of affairs, let us consider how we
can make the best of our bad bargain. Much
depends upon Secretary Chase, and it would be
we'll for the country IL q more sensible, circum-
spect and sagacious statesmen were in his place
during this crisis. II he remains at his post,
however, we advise him to proceed with his
labors most dscrestly. A panic will ruin both
himself and the country. Should he attempt to
float any of his bonds at present he would fail
Government receives nothing but legal tender
notes for bonds and these are now too scarce
to be collected in sufficient quantities by
our bankers. Let the Secretary issue
few millions more of legal tender, and then he
may float few bonds. Then let us have more
paper and then more bonds. If few victories
can be Immediately thrown in the effect will
be advantageous. Thus by discreet and careful
management the Secretary Of the Treasury may
be able to negotiate considerable quantity Of
his bonds during this financial year. BY so
doing he will relieve the currency proper
tionately. But to achieve anything OF real i'm
portance we must have military and naval sue
cesses. The sword must sustain the purse.
Money used to be the sinews Of war; but now
the war is the basis Of the currency. Push On
the war; bring II to triumphant conclusion,
and our finances will be healthy. Permit the
war to languish, and the currency will depre-
ciate. President Lincoln is not only our Com
mander-in Chief but he is also the real Secretary
