A state of things, indeed, existed dent must have been in possession of the w hich was anomalous arid unprecedented; facts, could seareelv be attributed to in ad- for while the price of all sorts of commo-

vertence. Mr. Uwing went on to refer to a speech made by himself, in which he stated the evils to'be apprehended from the irresistible influx of money into the treasury: when he was met with declarations that we should want all our means to sustain us through nn expected war with I'rancc; that we were to look for a French squadron battering down the walls of the capitol, and to defend us, in these dangerous contingencies, we should require expenditures in the erection of fortifications: we were further told that the contest with the Seminoles in Florida would spread into an Indian war along the whole of our western frontier, and that we must expend liberally to build forts in the west. Heavy appropriations had been made for fortifications, heavier than had ever before been made in time of peace. Still their remained a large surplus in th? treasury. When

( i vory other expedient failed, only seven 1 days nfter the adjournment of congress, this ' treasury rircul.tr was issued. It was net issued by the advice of congress, but v. as ! sent abroad in seven days after the ad journ-

'i ties'? attempts however had r.ot j l-i-cti successful. The true source of the -;v'l was well utidcrstoodjaiiil was doubtless ; foreseen by those who advised the order , to ! e issued.

It had been said that this or- ! - 11 . . , - oer woiii.i prevent trie over issue ot the banks. He replied to this that there were no overissues except by the deposite banks, and these would not be effected by this order. These banks had made great' loans to speculators, and the effect of the order would be to accumulate specie to relieve them from the elfeet of their improvident loans. He took views in c.rtenso of the condition of the western banks, which had increased their issues of late years. as called for by the increasing commerce of that part of the country; but there had been no over-issues. As soon as this order was issued, these banks had closed their doors against all who wished to borrow, and had been compelled to push their oeotors. Thus the whole commcrci west had bee;i eriiinled " at i"ur:ii on those points. f the Mr. Uenton. al'ter a f reference to some of the topics of marks, (not heard with ir. liwing's reutlieient distinctness by the reporter), said that some time would be requisite for a reply at large to the senator from Ohio. I!e would now say that he concurred with lain in his construction of the law in relation to the deposites remaining in the treasury. I'ut he denied that any one had said, at the last sesnon, th.att! ere wouK 1 be no surplus remain!:1 the treasury at the end of the year. Assertions in any way like this were always ni l. Ij with some qtiaiihcation. It is now declared, on the other hand, that there is a 1 arge surplus. Hut tb.e president's mes

Mr. 15. said he had only intended now to state some points on which he concur red with the senator from Ohio, and to say what he thought of the construction whieh be ( Mr. H.Jhad given to the deposite 'la lie had shown that the surplus is 'not a surplus in the ordinary import of tnc tcr itse't. :, but a surplus created by congress lie wished now that some such tion should be made of the resoludis dities was unusually Inch, there existed, at the same moment, a scarcity of money. JSueh a state of the pecuniary interests of the country called for investigation, and demanded the prompt attention of congress. He concluded by expressing a hope that Monday might be fixed upon for the furtiter consideration of the resolution. Mr. Ewing had no objection to such arrangement, though he was opposed to any unnecessary delay. He S3id a few words in reply to some of the remarks which had fallen from Mr. Trenton, disclaiming all agency in retarding the appropriations for the purpose of creating a surplus. Ate. but reserved himself for the fuller discussion of the subject The resolution was then postponed to and made the order of the day for Mon day.

From a haty perusal of it we collect the following facts and suo-Testions: The regular army of the United States consists of 618 coinmisioned officers, and 7.111(1 non-commissioned officers, musicians and privates making an aggregate of 7,953. Tins is the legal strength of the army when full; but a, present the whole regular force does not amount to more than G,2B3, of which not more than 4,2'i, were by the latest returns, fit for service. This force is divided between the eastern and westcrm departments, the former under the command of Gen. Scott and the latter that of (Jen. Gaines. In the eastern department, there are thirty posts garrisoned at present by about 1,100 men. The western department includes twenty posfs garrisoned by 2,4 d.

The fiscal concerns of the department r.ppear somewhat intricate; at least, in consequence of so many objects of appropriation being included in the aggregates it is difficult to ascertain the precise disbursement for the military service. Should the expenditures of the fourth quarter of 1830, says the Secretary, r.mouni to $0,807,000, as estimated, the expenditures of the year will have amounted to $20,332,000.'

We copy the above as an item of intelligence, and for the purpose of inquiring by whose authority these changes are made. Is there any act of Congress authorizing ii? The "lurahlric ojiptniluges, as toe 1 atnot words it, were formerly designated by an act of Congress. In 1702 a debate of some length was carried on in the House of Representatives upon the proposition whether we should not have the heads of all their excellencies, the Presidents of the United States, stamped upon our coins, and it failed by a very small majority the Virginia A lee President, William Smith, voting for it. Congress may have authorized the Director of the Mint to make these changes, though we are not aware of any act to that effect. If there be none, it is an usurpation to be put down among many others that have distinguished the administration. While on the subject it may be well enough to inform the reader thut Mr. Denton proposes to strike a new amalgamation coin, composed of copper and silver, and called in the French language miis billon. We have not heard what the "heraldric appendages'" are to be; but as it may be supposed that the coin is struck, or proposed to be, in honor of a distin guished individual of the party, we respectfully suggest that the head may ornament the reverse of the coin; and thit insted of the word ''i.inniTV," there be stamped upon its temples the word "amal gamation.

Horrid Condition of Society in Tdcuico. No man with Anglo Saxon blood in his veins, can have any sympathy for the mongrel race that disgrace tb.e name of humanity and pollute the soil of Mexico. A late letter from the City of Mexico details the following few items of horror to w hich the writer was eye-witness. I have seen 10 squads of 300 men each impres-ed against their own protestations, and these of their wives and chiooee., in to the armed service of the country. I have seen 000 men chained with not a rag to hide their nakedness, up to their middle in the common fowcis of this city, guarded by half as many soldiers; who, besides their arms, carried long switches with which they unmercifully lashed tb.e poor prisoners, if petchance they should shrink from or hesitate to plunge into the vilest collection of the vilest filth. I have seen a bayonet presented to the bifiastof a man for refusing to knee! in the streets, when the Host was passing. I have seen a man stoned for neglecting to doff his hat when before the image of a Virgin or a Saint. I have seen a man conveyed three bun tired miles to be incarcerated for having written and published his honest opinion in opposition to fho?e of the general belief, that Don Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna was just and good and great; that lie w as a God and invincible.

A late periodical expresses an opinion that a cure for consumption will never be discovered that the greal French Pathologists have at length shown the fallacy of all such hopes. "As well," continues the writer, "iniidit we hope to produce by ar- ' thh-ial inean.i the absorption of the liver, the brain, as to effect, by medicine, the absorption of alrtady embedded tuberculous matter." We ihfl'. r foin this author entirelv in t.iii matter -ami should much regret if his sentiments should be generally adopted by the faculty. Tubercular consumption hat heen cured and consequently it can be cured and we hope that a mode will yet he devised for effectually removing tubercules from the lungs, and thus checking at least, if not put a stop to, the ravages of one of the most deadly diseases incident to civ ilizcd m.-m. In this vicinity, well authenticated cases can be cited, where persons have been alllieted with diseases, accompanied with the pathognomonics of consumption they have afterwards rccOTered, much to the joy of their physicians; have died of another disease after the lapse of years, and on a post mortem examination, it has been ascertained by the appearance of cicatrices on the limgs, &c. that tubereules of large size once existed there, and which, owing to some cause, were happily removed. Such cases we presume are by no means tnifrequent. Let us then hear no more of the doctrine that tuberculr consumption, when so far advanced that it may be at once recognized by the symptoms, is incurable. On the contrary, let wtll directed efforts b mado to provide a cure for this horrible disease. Host on Med. Jour, .2 Serial',? .Monition.
