No answer was received to the application to the Register of the Cincinnati land office, and the Registers at Jeffersonville and Yincennesat first declined encaging on term- that the appropriation last cession would have justified.

to one million five hundred and twenty -eight thousand, eight hundred, and ttventy one miles annually; a dirtarce nearly equal to one sixth of its annual transportation throughout the Union previous to that time ; and only falline short about two hundred thousand mills per annum of its entire c onveyance in the year 1707. Such lias been the accession of receipts for p stage, that the additional expenditure required by this exter sion of the mail, will he met without difficulty; and, if Congress should think proper to relieve the Treasury from all charge on ac count of thi Department, the usual appropriations may be drawn fremi its own funds. Since the 1st July, 1 C23, there have been established one thousand and forty Post Ollices; a greater i umber than existed in the Union in the year 1G01. Suits have been commenced on the balances standing against late Postmasters, before the 1st July, 1C23, vibe-re there existed an) probability of collee tig the nholc
