formation that 1000 French troops have
landed at Matamoras and taken posses.

WASHINGTON, January l3.-Secretary
Chase, in answering resolution from
the House, says the soldiers have not
to raise loan by practicable method
under existing laws, and that the 500
bonds have not been sold because they
could not be under the restrictions i'm
posed by Congress.
He says the arrears of army pay
amounts to trebble the sum he can raise
by the existing act, exclusive of that pro-
viding for the 5-20s.
The original act for their issue pro-
vided also for the conversion into
them of any multiple of per cent U. S.
notes at the pleasure of the holders, and
permitted sales only at the market rate,
ascertained from the daily quotations of
the New York sales.
Had the supplemental act passed
omitted the conversion and market rate
clauses, the difficulty would have been
avoided. AS it is, acting in accordance
with the letter and the spirit of the law
he has made no sales, excepting to the
amount of $24, 100000 in that mode.
Had the expenditures been less or the
military success greater, more might
have been sold.
There has been obtained since July
1st from all sources, $287. .304,61S, ex-
elusive of receipts from customs, &C.
Total 1926, 10000 in round numbers.
There has been paid to the troops
$70,SS5, ,523; to the Quartermaster' De-
partment $ll0, ,4S2, 1856; to the Commits
sary Department $30,617, 1893. Miscel-

patch of the 18th from the Headquarters
of the Army of the Potomac, states that
a full brigade of the enemy previously

A Washington dispatch says: Paper
manufacturers would seem to have the
best of it in the House against the pub
fishers, judging from the fact that Mr.
Colfax was unable to secure the consent
of the Committee of Ways and Means
fror the consideration of the bill reduc-
ing the tax on imported paper from % to
10 per cent. His motion was tabled.
Mr.. Kellogg Of Illinois, secured the
passage of resolution instructing the
same Committee to enquire iuto the ex-
pedie1cy ofreducing the duty on foreign
rags.
The Herald says the Passaic lies at
anchor in the harbor of Beaufort She
suffered considerably in her passage.
The iron clad Nontauk Capt Worden,
attempting to enter the harbor On We'd
nesday morning in charge of a coast pi-
lot, struck on Shackelford Shoals. The
accident occurred by the displacement
of buoy. The Montauk remained fast

ance of tug boats she was got afoat and
towed into the harbor, anchoring abreast
Fort Macon. She was entirely uninjur-
ed.
