; s@rThe Worlds Washington special
says: 1t is stated that Government has
arrived at an understanding with the
French Government, and that to all intents
and purposes the difficulty between themis
settled. The French are about to leave
Mexico, and the United States Govern
ment has waived any intention to enforce
the Monroe doctrine. There will prob
ably be no recognition Of Mexico, but
there is a pledge express or implied, that
the United States will take DO overt
means to displace Macmillan and put
Juarez or any one else in his place.
While it is not likely that formal diplo-
matte relations will be opened with the
Empire, a quasi recognition will result
from the present understanding that Con
tuls will be appointed and employed in
their proper function of protecting Amer
lean trade in Mexico. 1t is not likely
that the French will leave Mexico before
the close of the year, and while they are
going their place will be supplied by Aus
TRANS. Belgians and such OF the Mexicans
as will accept the empire.

empty, and drafts that are presented are
not honored. There is evidently some

PUBLIC DEBT INCREASED SEVENTEEN
MILLIONS IN JANUARY.-It was the ex-
peetation Of the public that the debt Of
the Federal Government would be- de-
creased, now that the war is over. The
expectation was Just. They will therefore
be surprised to learn from the regular
monthly statement Of the National Debt
by the Treasury Department, that It in
creased seventeen millions during the
month Of January.

The Fenian Fight. The Canadian
Scare - Organization OF Infan-
try and Cavalry Regiments.

There is no prospect, whatever, that
any portion of the Fenian Brotherhood
will invade Canada for some time, as the
leader of the Roberts section, who are SUBJ
posed to be favorable to such a move
men,, are now on a canvassing tour
among the circles Of the various States,
in order to secure a general representa-
ton of the organization at the Pittsburg
Congress. Hence the %"scare'' among the
Provincials and the warlike preparations
to resist the squadrons of the Senate
party, are unnecessary, if not ludicrous.
1t is believed hat interested suffers and
quartermasters in Canada started the re-
port of immediate invasion, in order to
make fortunes by the supply of arms and
equipments, &C., to the gallant hosts Of
blue noses who are ready to defend the
frontier.
1t is reported, however, that the Cir
Giles favorable to the Roberts party are
rapidly armlng themselves, and that they
have bound themselves to be ready for
any military call which General Sweeny
may make upon them. Infantry and cav
airy regiments are being organized in
this and other cities, and days have been
set apart to drill the troops; but no nov
ment is to commence till General Swee-
ny's return from his lecturing tour
None of the organizations, however, have
been completed, and in some Of them the
work of enrolment has but merely com
menced.

THE PITTsBURG CONGRESS.

The indications at present are that the
Congress called by President Roberts tc
assemble in Pittsburg, on the 10Th. will
consist of over five hundred delegates
from all parts of the country. After the
organization Gen. Sweeny is to present
an important report to the House, on the
military movements he designs to make
1t was stated yesterday that a number
of the friends of 0'Mahony are engaged
in addressing Fenian meetings along the
route now being canvassed by General
Sweeny and Colonel Roberts, in order t.
prevent them from sending delegates tt
the Fenian Congress.

The Rump Legislature are having things
al their own way. They rule in and rule
out as suits theit convenience, and as here
tofore, seem to have as little regard for law
and order as the great Bohemian robber,
Charles de Moore, had for the priests dia-
mond rings and "holy powder magazine. p
They have persistently denied the recently
elected conservative members seats, but took
two or three Of their own stripe in because
they wished to form quorum in order to

how to secure contracts for furnishing infe-
rior leather to rebels but it does not fol

What the United States must Pay il
Two Years

Two ears.
Mr. Schofeld's speech in the House of
Representatives at Washington, on the loan
bill, contains the following interesting state
ment:
What IS the amount Of indebtedness to be
met, and when must it be met? To this
question ! invite the earnest and careful at
tention Of the House. / shall give the Off
cial statement of the amount Of our total
Indebtedness, and also of that portion soon
to become due. The amount of our public
debt on the first day Of this month was 81
I'll, $4,000. Less than half of this amount
is funded. Within the next three years 81
GOO, 100000 Of this debt will fall due and
viii be presented at the counter Of the
Treasury Department for payment. That
payment must be promptly made, or our pa
per goes to protest. and our credit is broken.
L hold in my hands official statement
showing the amount of Indebtedness that
natures each half year for the next two years,
which, after word Of explanation, L will
read:
There was on the last day of February,
1865, portion Of our debt In the form of a
temporary loan to the amount Of S119, $780,
I94 so, payable at the option of the lender
after ten dayss notice. 1t would hardly be
fair to reckon the whole amount as payable
within the first six months, yet as it may be
! called for at any time, and is the least valu-
able form of loan, it must be added to the
statement Of indebtedness soon to be met
With this explanation, and supposing the
payment of this loan to be demanded within
! the next six months, I call attention to the
facts exhibited in the table.
Between this day and the Both of June
next, we must pay, in addition to the regu-
lar expenditures Of the Government, $685.
/ 674, 1914, so. During the six months ending
| December 31st, 1866, we must pay $47, $685.
000 During the six months ending June
so, 1867, we must pay $S,47I 900. During
the six months ending December 81, 1867,
we must pay S350,000,00O During the six
months ending June 30, 1863 we must pay
1868, 4l5, $50 During the six months end
ing December 80, 1868, we must pay $751;
564,482: So that between this and the as
sembling of the next Congress there must be
paid over the counter of the Treasury, be-
sides the ordinary expenses of the Govern
ment, 81 POI ,890607 g.
