Post Office Department We are has
lenirig tu 1 -iy before our rentiers the Re
ports of nil the Public, Departments at
Washington. The Report from theGe
nernl Post Office seems to have sealed
lhe lips of slander itself. Instead of lhe
enormous deficit which was blazoned
forth by some of the Opposition prints, of
8800,000, it appears that the nctual defi
cit was no more than 192,135 04. And
how was this deficit occasioned! By any
defalcation, or fraud, on the part of Mr.
Barry or his clerks! Not at all but
principally by the extension of new
routes under I he acts of Congress, and
lhe laudable anxiety of the Postmaster
Cietieral to carry the benefits of the mail
to the flours 'of the people. There is no
neglect no malversation no abuse of
lhe funds. There has been a remarka
ble improvement in manv resnects in tlm

War Department. lhe Report of
lite Secretary ot War is worthy ot the
talents ot Mr. Cass. It lays many inte
resting facts before the public and ma-'
ny important suggestions before Con
gress. But, lhe views it exhibits of our
Indian relations, on both sides of the
Mississippi, are particularly striking. It
appears, among other things, that not
more than 5,000 Indians will be left in
the great region, thai lies north of the
Ohio, and east of the Mississippi. And
that "the Cherokces occupying portions
of land in Georgia, Alabama, North Ca
rolina, and Tennessee, and probably not
exceeding 11,000 persons, are the only
Indians south of lhe Ohio, and east of
the Mississippi, with whom ;m arrange
meat hits not been made, either for emi
gration or for a change of political rela
tions. It is to be regretted, that the
same causes which have heretofore pre
vented an adjustment of the difficulties of
that tribe, and their removal west, yet
continue to defeat the efforts of the Go
vernment. These causes are no doubt
principally to be traced to the ascendan
cy of particular individuals, and to their
desire to retain political influence and
power. Jt is expeeied that about 500
of these Indians will remove west this
season, and the rest of lhe Cherokces,
ihen remaining east of the Mississippi,
will be, agreeably to previous computa
tions, about 10,500." Richmond Entj.

rrom the state of the revenue, the Se
cretary says, "It is evident that a reduc
tion of the revenue cannot, at this lime,
be made, without injury to the service."
The Secretary also says, that, under such
circumstances, "there seems to be no
sufficient reason to open, at this lime, the
vexed question ot the Tariff." The only
recommendations in the Report, refer to
the necessity of a regard to economy by
Congress in the appropriations of money;
the unclaimed dividends on United States'
stock; and the necessity for new build
ings for the Treasury, on different plans
and sites from the old ones. Nat. Int.

Treasury Department. From the
annual Report of the Secretary of the
Treasury, it appears that the receipts in
to the Treasury during the three first
quarters of this year are estimated at
$24,355,317; the "receipts for the fourth
quarter are estimated at $7,G75,000; ma
king the total revenue for the year 1333,
$32,030,317.
The expenditures of the first three
quarters of the present year are estima
ted at $18,243,388. The expenditures
for the 4th quarter, including $2,301,710
on account ot the Public Debt, are esti
mated at $6,409,910; making a total ex
penditure within the year of $24,058,304.
The estimated balance which will be in
the Treasury on the 1st day of January
next, (including $1,400,000, unavailable
funds, heretofore reported, and also in
cluding more than five millions of dol
lars of unexpended appropriations) is es
timated at $9,383,790.
The estimate for 1834 is, that, after
the entire extinction of the Public Debt,
during the year, there will be in the
Treasury, on the let day of July, 1835, a
Engineer Department. From the Re
port of the Engineer Department to the
Secretary of War, just made, we extract
lhe following notice of the progress of
national works in this Stale:
Ocracock Inlet, N. C. Though much
retarded on account of tempestuous wea
ther and the breaking of machinery, the
operations at this place have been attend
ed with considerable success, and with
lhe most flattering effects upon the navi
gation through the Inlet. A dred"ing
machine has been kept at work when the
weather would permit in Wallace's
channel, from which about 34,000 yards
of cubic earth have been removed within
the year. A navigation of 3 feel has
been obtained through this channel.
Cape Ftar River. -The ietiee near
Barnhard's creek, on the eastern side of
the river, and the one near Old Town, on
the western side, have been completed;
that near Barnhard's creek continued to
wash up during the last winter; and near
ly the whole of the labor applied this vear
litis been for the purpose of keeping
these two jettecs in repair. Notwith
standing lhe difficulties that have hereto
fore attended the. construction of jettees,
it is confidently anticipated that a navi
gation of 14 feet will be obtained when
they are permanently secured.

will be completed and ready for inspec

for which they were begun.
Fort Casicell, Oak Island. As was
anticipated in my last Report this Fort
will be completed and may be garrisoned
before the end of this year. Ral. Re.
tt?"The following is the Message of
the I resident, which elicited the remarks
of Mr. Mangum, published in our last:
To the Senate of the United States:
1 have attentively considered the reso
lution of the Senate of the 11th instant,
requesting the President of the United
States to communicate to the Senate "a
copy of the paper which has been pub
lished, and which purports lo have been
read by him to the Heads of the Execu
tive Departments, dated the 13th day of
September last, relative lo the removal of
the Deposites of the public money from
the Bank of the United States and its
offices."
The Executive is a co-ordinate and in
dependent branch of the government,
equally with the Senate: and 1 have yet
to learn under what constitutional autho
rity that branch of the Legislature has a
right lo require of me an account of any
communication, either verbally or in wri
ting, made to the Heads of Departments,
acting as a Cabinet Council. As well
might 1 be required to detail to the Sen
ate the free and private conversation I
have held with those officers on any sub
jecta relating to their duties and my own.
Feeling my responsibility to the Ame
rican people, I am willing upon all occa
sions, to explain to them the grounds of
my conduct; and I am willing, upon all
proper occasions, to give to either branch
ol the Legislature any information in my
possession that can be useful in the exe
cution of the appropriate duties confided
to them.
Knowing the constitutional right of iho
Senate, 1 shall be the last man, under
"ny circumstances, to interfere with
I hem. Knowing those of the Exec utive,
I shall, at all limes endeavor lo maintain
them, agreeably to the provisions of the
Constitution, and the solemn oath 1 have
taken to support arid -defend it.
I am constrained, therefore, by a pro
per sense of my own self respect, and of
the. rights secured by the Constitution to
the Executive branch of the Government,
lo decline a compliance with vour re
quest. ANDREW JACKSON.

that Charles Lewis, Esq. aged about 70
years, for many years Register of Ruther
ford county, was, on the 15ih h. stint,
found dead about a mile from thai place,
on the public road leading to Asheville.
It is supposed he fell from hisliorse in a
slate of intoxication, and dislocated his
neck.
It is stated in the same paper that part
of a human skeleton was found on the
7th of last month, which is believed to bo
lhe remains of Miss Fanny Carpenter, an
unfortunate young lady who left her mo
ther's residence thai day 12 months ago,
in a state of derangement. The skele
ton was found about a mile and a half
from the house of her mother, in such a
situation as to leave no doubt that sho
came to her death by hanging herself..z&.
Case of Habeas Corpus. Robert B.
Randolph is discharged. On Saturday
the Federal Court pronounced its deci

recourse to the ordinary remedies for the
recovery of whatever balance may bo

The Creek controversy. We have re

for the interference of military force to
remove the settlers. Huntsville Adv.
