INTERNAL REVENUE.

CIRCULAR.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has issued !
circular letters to collectors of customs in
charge of revenue cutters. Itssys, among |
other things, that the requirements of law
will not be satisfied by simply speaking !
incoming vessels. they must be boarded and |
examined, and manifest certified
copy received, and matches fastened, if on |
such examination there be just ground of |
suspicion that the vessel contains dutysble |
good not on the manifest and designed to |
be smuggled into the United States, the |
commissioned officer of the cutter, or if one |
be not available, petty officer of
the cutter will be placed on board of
vessel to remain with her till she arrives
at her destination. Their duties are inn
perative and faithful performance of
them will be vigorously enacted. The regu'
lations are modified 30 as to forbid the d.
version of cutter under any circumstances
or on any pretext whatever, from the SER
vice, except by express authority of the
Department. One of the objects of this
modification is to prevent cutters from
being used for mere pleasure excursions.
In addition to the duty especially devolved
upon cutters by the law, of boarding in
coming vessels and certifying to msnitests,
they will maintain general surveillance
Of the coast, lying within their cruising
limits with view to preventing the unsu-
thorized landing of foreign goods and
evasion Of important duties. When cutters
are supplied with both sails and steam power
they should ordinarily depend upon the
former and use the latter as propelling
power only on emergencies, when it may be
necessary to increase the speed of the vessel
to accomplish some important and definite
object. This is required as measure of
economy.
COUNTERPART.
A dangerous counterfeit was received at
the Treasury to-day Of 500 compound
interest note, bearing date May 18th, 1866 4
It is much better executed than any coun-
terfeit heretofore presented and requires
some scanning for detection. Both the face
and back are printed in paler ink than the
genuine, and on careful examination the
lettering on the face appears defective. The
brokers, bankers and others should compare
those offered with the genuine before
accepting them. No other denomination
than the 800 compound interest note has
bean countsrfeited, and all compound
interest notes except the 800 note can
therefore be taken without special examin-
ation-
One of ths counterfeits was sent from
New York and the other from, Philadel-
phia.
