A country clergyman about repairing to church on a Sunday morning, was informed by his wife that they had no meat for din ner, whereupon he 'despatched his black man, Osnr, to a neighbor of hig, generally known by the name of Paul, to borrow a piece of beef, aftei which he was directed to repair to church. The black fellow went for the beef, but was refused on the ground that his master had already borrowed very often, but had neglected to pay. Cxsar repaired to the church, the refusal of the meat still running in his head and it so hap pened that Inst as he was entering the door his master was dilating upon the words of the apostles, and thus addressed his hearers "What doe Paul say!" Ca:aar, supposing himself interrogated, answered, "What do Paul sav? whv. he sav. he cant let vou lnb no more meat, till you pay up de old 80! Waihingion City, Jlpril 4, 1842. Me'srn.

The subjoined Letter from the Secreta ry is at cnipsined by a Report from the Department uf State, ('not of the Treas ury, as stated in yesterday's daily paper) the extent and importance of which may be well imagined by the account which the Letter gires of it. This report is just in time, the reader will observe, to bear upon the'debates and votes in Congress on the re-arrangemenf of the Tariff. To the Hume of liepretcnlativei of the Cniltp Stale; t On the 3d day'of September last, the House of Representatives pfcsed a resolution in the following Icrma: "Jlesitlitd: That the Secretary of Stale be required to report to thia House, as soon after the eanjmeDcemeiit ol the nest session a pracr ucame, a-statement oi inn privileges anu res trictions of the commercial intercourse of the United State with all foreign nations, similar to that communicated to the Senate December 18, 1837,(ilocummtS.- 1st session, SJdConirress,) only changing the denominations of the foreign money, weights, and measure into-those ol the United Males, according- to the custom-house entries of domestic exports, and adding eol unins showing the average amout and value ol the articles exported to each country tor the years 1838, 1839, and 1810, and of the duties on the same; together with a summary of the average aggregate value of esports to each coun try for those years of article the growth, pro duce, or manufacture of the United States, with the average amount of duties thereon accruing to each country. And. on the 31st day of January last, it also "Jinolved, t hat, in adition to the lnlormation required of the Secretary of State by the reso lution of this House of the 3d of September, 1811, he he required to give a table exhibit ins; comparative statement between the tariffs of other nations and that of the United States," Upon the passage of the first of these resolu tions, all means supposed to be necessary, and proper for obtaining the information were adop ted. Circulars were written to the American Consu' in the principal commercial nations, their tariffs obtained, so far as practicable, ex isting treaties examined, and recent commer cial authorities extensively investigated. Com petent persons have been employed in arrang ing the information thus obtained, and in com plying with that, part of the first resolution which requires the denominations of .foreign moneys and foreign weights and measures to ha changed into those of the United States. This part of the duty has" been found to require great labor. Notwithstanding the diligence and assiduity bestowed ry those employed on the work in col lecting and arranging materials, and the degree of personal attention, not inconsiderable, given to it by the head of the Department, it ia not improbable that, in a matter so extensive and various, some omissions and mistakes may be Ion nil. It i believed, however, that not only have inaccuracies in the former publication been in in many instance corrected, but subsequently regulations in the commercial codes of foreign oationi stated with a good degree of accuracy. In some eases, indeed, it has been found impos sible to obtain the most recent changea of tar ifflaws.bnt these cases are supposed notlo.be numerous or very important.

In the Senate of the United States, March 11,1842. The resolutions of Mr. Clay, in relation to the adjustment el the duties on imports, the limi tation of the expenditures of the Government. and suggesting a curtailment of all unnecessa- ly expenses, and the observance of a rigid economy, being under consideration Mr. Simmons, of Rhode Island, addres sed the Senste as follows: Mr. President: I propose to say a few words upon the questions now before the Senate, but shall eonfine my remarks to such of them as arc contained in the five first resolutions of the series, and to the amendmjnts proposed, because fiey relate to matters now under consideration in a enmmmittee of which I am a member. The purpose of these five first resolu tions is, to have the Senate declare what shall be the annusl amount of revenue; and how it shall be levied and collected. "Other and subsequent resolutioni pro pose modes of retrenchment. In thete the result is stated; and they assume that, with proper retrenchment and economy, it will be requisite that an annual amount of twenty-six millions of dollars be "rais ed to meet all the engagements of the Gov ernment, viz: twenty-two millions for or dinary annual expenditures, two millions for the gtadual payment of the existing tieor: ana two minions lor contingencies, and for a reserved fund. They propose to raise these twenty-six millions by such a modification of exieting lawt aa will prevent those reductions of the rates of duties to twenty per cent, which are contemplated by those lawt. but which re-iuctioct cannot be made con sistently with the public interest. They propose other direct and distinct changes from the practice of the Government un der the late administration, tuch at.thtt we shall stop running in debt, and also, cease to apply the land fund to the payment of ordinary daily - expenset in time of pesce. . All these propositions appear to me to be recommended by evert consideration ggn-liftrmi n , , t asjnuM.mjij, jui .romf merits' propo'rtil 'by"th'e''1oh'oraul) Senator from New York,- (M rr V arc rrr. which I suppose should be first considered, al though, as I construe the rules, they bring the original resolutions also within the range of the debate. The first resolution agrees with the vievrsof all tides. The amendments to the other four, and "which four, and "which" I propose first to examine, teen to ha v t wo- ohjecsr one rs to complain of what wat done at the extra session, and the other to prevent any declaration by the Senate of what it pro per to be done at thU; and thus defeat the whole purpose of the original, resolutions, which was to make tuch a dccJmtii n. upon the subject embraced, as would form the bais of present legislation. 'Ihea mendincnls propose no such thing; and make no declaration of the amount to br raised for revenue. As this appears upon the face of the amendments, it might teem to be auflicient to dispose of them at once; but the argument of the honorable mover, seems" Jo be In support of them, or, I should rather say, in defence or ex cuse of the expenditures of the .lale ad ministration. The amendment has indeed vert little, and the argument less, to do with the real qnettion presented in (he re solution, viz: the annual amount of re venue necessary for. the Government for years to come, ' ' .This argument, at a defence or excuse of the late administration s nd it frien ' in Conjrcs, for the appropriation and expenditure of immensely larger same f money than was ever bifore known in our Goyernment;-in any Presidential term! in time of peace, I am free to admit was, at the arguments of the distinguished Senator usually are, ingenious, able, and fearless. It remains to be teen whether it hat suflkient warrant in Ihe'factt it re fers to, and upon which it entirely depends, to prevent the public judgment from de termining that it was also a reckless one. I will not say what may be expected from the public judgment, ut propose to examine and present thefats upon which tne argument rests these ire drawn from the tame source, by the mover of the original resolutions, and also by the mo ver of the amendments, viz:' the tablet showing the expenditures of former Tears, The honorable Senator from Kentucky at af .a . (Mr. ulat) gave the aesregate expend iture for each of the four years of the last administration, from 1837 to 1840 inclu sive, amounting, in all. to over nne hun dred and forty-one millions of dollars. making an average 01 over thirty-live millions per annum; a ad from this he de ducted his own estimate of what outrht to be the annual amount of ordinary expen ses, (viz: twenty-two millions.) and there by showed an excess, of thir een millions a year .over t,lie expenditure prop i d by himself. He declined to go into the de tails of the expenditure of the late ad ministration, to show how this excess was caused. The honorable Senator frdtn New York went into the detail, in hisretly to the Senator from Kentucky, snd complained of the liability of such general statements to mislead the public. He admitted that the expenditures for the whole four years were I4I,5H4.ZZ1 but allege (hat a large amount (S30.59r.848) was for other than the ordinary expensei ofGottef nmenl. and that the balance of about one hun dred and eleven millions was the actual amount of the ortlinary expense! of the Government for the four years; making, in round numbers, an avers.' expenditure of about twenty-eight millions per year for ordinary expenses, and of about seven millions per year for debit, contingencies, 5-c . This detailed statement. I think, civet a plainer, if not a more correct, view of the actual expenditures of the late admin istration, and enables us more clearly to see the difference between them and the proposed estimate for the future revenue snd expenditures of the Government. It shows that the amount for the actual ex penses of the late administration (of twen y-eight millions a year; greatly exceeds he proposed estimate of twenty-two mil- linns for the same objects in future, ex hibiting a clear tavinnoftix millions a year, by the present estimate and putt in strong contrast their seven millions and a half per year for debts and contingen cies, compared with the Jour millions now proposed, for the gradual payment of the debt" thrown upon ut, unpaid - by the late administration, and for contingen cies. The Senator from New York here in ter posed, and said, "But two millions of. thit it now proposed for Ihe payment of me aeur.. j Mr. Simmons continued. - I agree it is proposed that two inillinot a year shall be, but more of it may be, applied to that object if it can be, and a sufficient a mount be retained in a course of yeaat to meet contingencies. It it in part for contingencies; and whether more than two millions may be regarded as an im provement of our condition, by lessening our debts, cannot . now be told. AH will agree, ho we very that the contrast afforded by the detailed mode of stating the ac counts, adopted by the Senator, it highly favorable, whether the" actual saving be six millions or eight millions a yer. i he nonorauie senator contends that this srx millions a year, as proposed for the re XHiaAiaW"' -"-"mar y ripensna. is TIOI so IuVrg1rWlTrSmriB'iWlte be ut tlewn to a greater extent, It is proper to examine hit reasons for this. He sayt these very large sppronria- tiom and expenditures of the late admin istration were pressed up, to an unwarrant able and extravagant point, by the fact that they then had an immense surplus, and were driven 4m n x tra vsgj n t ex pen ditere -to prevent grefirrr evili -which they regarded such a surplus to ie. No detenre it pretended, and no other excuse offered for their immense outlays, which the Senatorhimaetf characterizes at extrav agant and unwarrantable, but this octuoV orL. apprehended urplus.J8ut lbejayt thing are now different; that we are out of money, obliged to borrow, and should immediately make a great reduction; and, without naming any amount, insists that it s'iou!d be more than six millions a rear, tnd that twenty-two millions a year js too murh, for fjw expenditure. The honorable Senator from New York wss at the head of the committee -in this body, having charge of the expenditures of the la adminUtrationt. None well at himscll", therefore, can g vc ex ptsnatinn or excuse Tor those expenditures which I suppose he reported 'and recom mended. Bull wish fottsfejhe cl as they appear on the record; 'and the ex Chancellor of the Exchequer will hardlv deny them. The late ndminWlratinn ftor". rowel money upon Treasury notes, every year during ft exiatenre, and slso borrow t.d to pay these vtr: extravaianl appro priations. - the very lirst out reported by fit- hon orsble Senator, under Mr. Van Burro's homo of our affections." " , I No IC atl mi nut ration, (Senate bill No. 1 wat one sutiioriziug tne administration to slop payment, ( mean the payment ot the fourth and last instalment to the states, or dered to be made by a former and then existing law. The second bill of the House of Repre tcntativet, ( House bill INo 2,) also re ported to the Senate by the tame Senator without amendment, was a bill to borrow money upon Treasury notes. These arc me ta. is. i nts was none at dir. van Buren's extra session, called, as tee be licved, for thit very purpose. And yet Jn a year after the administration is turned out, the excuse for an extravagant expen uuure oi an average oi iwemy-eigiu mil lions annually (the amount wat over thir ty-one millions, the . very year and the year after thev began to borrow) is, that they were putlted up to it by a surplus a rttfunaanl treasury. Mr. Vri.oht interposed and said, "that what he inlentkd was to say that da ring the idministsation of General Jachsnn, as well as Mr- Van Buren, ther were dri ven to make extravagant appropriations ne meant to spetk of the whole twelve years. "J Mr, aiMMOKt resumed. I did not to undcrsta d the honorable Senator. He Wis replying to fie honorable Senator from Kentuckv, T.Mr. Clay,) -anil attempting to show that the Senator had made an over estimate of the expenses of the ale administration. Those during Gen eral Jackson's time had not, to thy recol lection, been ttated in the debate.. And besides, to far as I recolject, during the first term of General Jackson's adminis tration; th? expense! were not try high", Mr Wright said, "look at the appro priations and expenditoret for the latt year." Mr. 8-1 perceive that they were both high; but the Senate will also recol lect that thia was after the surplus tnoneu hail been disposed of by law. I hey were certainly very high, and al . so extraordinary. - On looking at the csti- mites of the secretary tor appropriations for that tear, I find they amount to six teen millions; but actual .approprirtiont' were made to the amount of thirty seven millions ttmjy-on , millions mors than the estimate, it was, in fact, believed that tiu was done on purpose to defeat the in tentions of the law of Congress for deposi ting tne surplus money with the Slates a law which recciv !, at wat tiid by him, "the reluctant assent"' of the Ex ecutive. Twenty-nine millions were ac tually expended that year. Bat the high expenditures which have been stated in the debate on these molu. tions, were those made during the lat$ ad ministration, in tvery year of which they borrowed money upon Treasury notes. Should the present administration contin ue so to borrow throughout the term .their opponents here, the friends of the late, will hove nothing to boasi of in that respect, much tt we, who support the Government, may regret it. In retard to-being obliged to borrow, money, the two administration are alike. ' '' Hiving thut shown (hat there it no foun dation ti fact for the argument of the honorable Senstor, I suppose the sriru- mentitself is disposed of, and that their n.7- mhted extravagance is without pretext or r.-wac. The question now to settle, is, whether six millions a year, the amount estimated in the resolutions, U enough to deduct for the extravagance, on an average, of the entire four years of Mr? Van Buren. The honorable Senato?' from New York tays it is not. If hit friends here who voted the appropriations, and those who spent them, agree with him in thit, let them show how much more than sir. mil lions a rear should be deducted torn thrir I t ffi e m f rb p'TfieTf xpfcTffint U f ei ii KTeT ' fcMJ4- w "V. v as say i n i , as . each head, and confess that to much more - r - kt . . was spent than was necessary -on one brinch, and so much on another, until (heyget through; and if they make ott that, in the aggregate, they spent eight millions a year tcastrfuUy, and if we should con aidetJlhe estimate jrorreel and tjie .confes sion astneere anl an honest- one, I will a gree to make it the basis of legislation, set down just two millions more to the score pftAeir extravagance, and write tfoedf.y in stead of twenty-two millions against their ttwity-eigit, lor ordinary expenses.

" It wis peculiar that he did no',' An honorable Senator, a political friend of hi, wat remarking tome when he wss speaking, that it was unsaft for sny Senator to content! with the Senator from Mew York where calculations and figures wera concerned. At the ftry moment Ihe Senator himself disclaimed all knowl edge of such calculations, and therefore declined presenting sny estimate whslever on the subject of the future revenue. Hut this part of the subject was taken up by (hp honorable Senator form New Hamp shire, who declarrd at the outset that he had spent nearly half his ' life in what ho called the drudgery of figuret and calcu lations. Such an experience entitle hit pmductiont to contideration. He has submitted so many and to va rious estimates for reducing the expendi tures, t' at, I cannot recollect their details) but the result o the -whole aremt to be, that the Government tan "be gd n.inirtered at ah annual expense of front seventeen to twenty millions of dollars thus show- . ing that, in his opinion; from eight to ten million! a year, certainU,. there spent by the late administration more tAon trof necessary I Hit account nt the can ,! thia extravagance it different Irom the one given by the Senator from New York) alihoueh he took rare to include tha nnU one which that-Senatnr relied upon that of a surplus in the Treasury. The Sen- a tor from New Hampshire sayt that the Executive department, h the other end "f the avenue, wis in nowise responsible for thete appropriations and expenddi lu res, and read from hit own reports to Congress, to show how tharptr he had re buked his friends here for tnakinc them.

York (then the head of the financial depart ment jn this body) in a new attitude, and in a very different position from that which be wat supposed tu ccupy, in the quarter ' of the country from which I come. No one t here, ever suspecied the honorable Senator from New York of being ignnaant of, or indisposed to earr? out, the wishes of the Executive, o of his part v. We -looked upon what he said or did at ' by authority," when it happened not toaV . gree with what wat tpriven in the report of the Secretary, And it mutt have been very different under that adminis tration, from what it has been since I have had a teat in (hit bodj, if the pa ty could not count upori its. friend in Congress ( rarry out its views. J have seldom seen the time when they could not be counted to a man upon the yes and nott in tuch a case.
