Lieutenant Parry enteied by Lan*

which continued successively until
they reached th • yxtrume westerly
point o' oral in 115: here, winter ovor
took them, and they turned back to
\lB, and wintered in a snug harbm
in five fathoms water. [There is
some error in the figure* here • ei
thci they me transposed, the vessels
having reached 11b and returned to
115, or if >45 be the extreme point,
then we should probably read 108 or
11.3 in place of 118 ] On the break

were oinfe to nroceod westerly, but
immense barriers ot ice in- jn,>

offered no reasonable chance of
succeeding this year; independent
of whioh, provisions would not. have
held out in so precarious and dan
gCrous a navigation lor the winter,
and <he ti tic they would certainly
have been frozen up. The existence

practicable one, hut not open to any

was extreme; in one case, about iGo.
I.icutcnant Parry is represented to
possess all the peculiar talent and
prowess for proceeding in this ardu

cdlv be accomplished j|by the shores
of America, a continuity of hml. es

It is certainly a astern ]
ishment, that the late ny ,
the Secretary of.the f Trcast*rf (Tthtrt m, ,

little*hotice. It seems to have ?kcitevl rtm
more fttrptise than would have been ex

dinary nature. How to account for this
apparent apathy, is a task widen Js u
leave for others, contenting myself with
observing, that as much danger. lreqneudy
arises from placing a dull anil sleepy-to a
dedcentinel iu the watch tower, as would
occur frmn trusting a traitor with lite im
portant post.
IV’heu the report above alluded to first
came out, it was pronounced, 'pretty gei.e
.rally, to be an able exposition of the s'ale
of our money concerns, and the Hohors
ble Secretary was extolled as the ‘'able
financiei,” and as one fully capable ot
managing the department ok which he was
the head, he, &c. All this was perhaps
well enough then—liut, scarcely does a
week or a fortnight ebpse, when away
goes his infallibility, and it is discovered
that a email mistake has been made in the
report ofnot more than the very tr fling sum
of THHKF. JULtIOKS OF DOLLAHS ! AIIUWUO
detected this error, the secretary? No—it
was discovered, it is said, by a membr.t of
Corigress—thanks to his sharp-sighted
ness and enquiring disposition! say I
ter the error is detected, the secretary
comes out with a supplemental statement,
in which he :icl;novvledg'es the mistake,
but gives no very satisfactory explanation
of the Planner in which it was made; and
although the true or last pltjces
the financial coucci ns. of .the in,a
RetfFFsiiUAlion by nearly three millions of
dollars, yet this oiroumsbince seems to
produce but a.trifllng (if any) alteration in
the opinion of‘the Honorable Secretary,
as expressed in his first report. —Amazing
pertinacity!
One of two things is certain on this sub
ject:—The. error either occurred through
carelessness and iriattention, or an incur
reel statement was made designedly. If it
happened from the first-named cause, il
must be evident that the person at the
head of the financial department is unfit
f,r the station, and doubt will tftvqn be en
tertained of his capacity—ls from the lat
ter, there should be no hesitation, on the
part of the proper authority, in appointing
some more trust-worthy person to the
management of the business.
In making the., above remarks, I have
been guided by no other motive than a
desire that the attention of the people
should be awakened to a fujl sense of the
danger of being governed fly prejudices.
Mical feelings ai<c apt to have so undue an
influence as to warp the. judgment, and
frequently to make that which is foul and
impure Appear fair and healthful -Ucware,
therefore, iif trusting too much to such
and when a public servant is
found to be unfit for the station he occu
*pies, let him be'dismissed, without regard
to his birth place,-whether that be in the
Northern, Western, Middle, or Southern
sedion of the United States. Ry adopting
thjs plan, and strictly adhering to it, there
will be but little danger of the vessel of

Wasiilnutos, Jan. 7.
’• " TO THE EDITOR. •
Congress (in the House of Reprenta
tives) is deeply engaged in discussing
Mr. Cobb’s resolutions Retrenchments,
catting down economy, although they
may go to shake, or even destroy, some
of the useful institutions and defences of
the country; are fine themes for declama
linn, when a man wishes to render him
'self or his political friends (who pursue
the same course) popular and acceptable
to the people. This effort at economy
is covered by many other subjects which
give it the appearance of impartiality, but
the real blow, and I fear a death blow, is
aimed at the army. This will be the in
ference, I think, of any impartial man
who has been an attentive observer of e
vents here, during the last, and this ses
stpn. The current has been principally
directed against the War Department,
and pains seem to have been taken to
render it steady and strong; and, lately,
to increase it i velocity ahd force.
This is now too plainly seen tube doubt
ed, and gentlemen, who before were in
credulous, have lately acknowledged their
conviction of the fact. Indeed the pub-.
lie journals will shew that every sort of
I tuspicion, has engendered a resolution
| and a retotuiion'-mairia if 1 may sp speak;
I bottomed upon an apparent disirfai.- cali-
I tog, in many instances, for information
Hot ofr |) assessed tefr-rt; and
when the information is given in great de
.tail, and with equal perspicuity, ate
being printed at, great expense, it sesm;
not to have been read, and in very lev.
instances has resulted in any practical ts
feci, by any bill introduced or even in an;
report made, as to facts. I could quoi
many cases, out omit them now. The pub
lic shall know them in due ttm«. Many
of the were (air. We object,
not to enquiry Enquiry and responsible
ty are in.ltss- I-ihly connected with the
well - being i f a Kcpnbllcaiv Government;
but enquiry and responsibility should bj,
general, in/Juirlial, and founded (when
lliey may be construed tg imply censureJ
upon ■ something like xeellgrouudrcl sus

however, slionld be most rip id, there ap
pears to be b ss of it j and although diuse
gentlemen who are conceived to oe most
devoted to the Treasury Depart nenl,
seem in general to have Deeii move ac
tively engaged in directing enquiries
into every other department, and.even
inlo lhe. minutest deiails ot the /lae De
partment ; yet the friends of.the latter,
seeing the vast importance of union aim
co-operation in each branch of the -xecu
five, have dot followed the example, it
may not always be so It may beedtm
indispensihle to the public interest, that
the detail of that department to a certain
but a fair extent, should be presented.—
When this done, it will not be bottomed
on rivalry and opposition. You must have
seen the annual Treasury report, making
a deficiency of more than 7 UOO.OOufor
1821 You must also iiave seen froln the
same department, a correction of an oh.
vious error in that report, making hede
ficiency 2,6(jO,OOCltss lliant at first rep re.
sented. You will still see If i am not
much mistaken, another over calculation
of the deficiency not corrected in the last
explanatory reports of about 2,000,000
more, when the resolutions submitted by
Mr. Lowndes calling for the balances in
the Treasury on the Ist January, 1821,
are answered. Whether this informa
tion can be obtained or not, it certainly
exists to a considerable ex tent; so that
the deficiency for 1821 will not bv even
2,0C0000, provided the 6(j0,000, which
cannot be made available, is not taken in
to the estimate. If i t is, the sum neces
sary to be borrowed, will be. hot little
more than 2,000,000, and allowing for ?,-
000,000, which it is said should always be
a surplus in the Treasury, and the sum to
be borrowed will be scarcely 3,000,000 I
pretend not to speak with arithmetical
precision. lam well assured I am not
far from the truth; and yet we are told we
must borrow this year more than 7,000,-
000. It is acknowledged on all hands that
the deficiency for the next succeeding
three years will be very littie, if any, ac
cording even to our present expenditure s;
and they will be lessened in fortifications,
&c. in succeeding years, from the very
nature of things.
It is still, however contented, & warmly
contented too, that our navy mnst in part,
be stopped, all salaries reduced, the mili
tary peace establishment cut tjown ,'to s
single Brigadier General’s command,( and
the Staff, at once the'pledge of both qrga
mzation and economy, be so prunediaslo
destroy its force and efficacy, and in the
end, ensure its destruction. '
Is there any evidence that the Army
should be reduced, and much of the moral
energy, strength, talent and experience
1)6 torn from the country by dismissing
Jackson, liromn, Scott, Gaines and others
from its service?
The Postmaster General issued, some
two or three years ago, to afl Deputy
Pt)s(masters, a standing order, or to give
notice to the Printer thereof of any news
paper which should remain in their of
fices, respectively, uncalled for or not ta
ken up, by the person to whom it should
be addressed, and to state whether
person refused to receive the paper, or
was dead, had removed, and, if so,where
to. 'I bis order, we believe, has been
generally observed by the gentlemen to
whom it was given, but, having reason -to
believe that it was in some instances ne
glected, we promised, in the course of
the last summer, if any case of such ne
glect should come to our knowledge, to
lay it before the Post Master Genera l , i.t
order that the delinquent might be de:,lt
with accordingly. Such an instance of
neglect having occurred at a distant post
office not long since, and the fact being
established to the satisfaction of the Post
mastvr General, we have the pleasure to
state, that he immediately dismissed the
offender from office. We deemed it proper
to mention the fact, for the information
of publishers as well us postmasters, and
as an assurance that information of simi
lar misconduct, from any quarter,'will be
promptly attended to by the Postmaster
General,
We lake this opportunity to offer our
thanks to those gentlemen of the Post
Office establishment, in various parts of

I have no time to go into the argument
of this question, is not the mere state
ment, such as to make the American peo
ple revolt at the idea?
Even in the most economical time of
Mr- Jufsueok, so perpetually brought in
to view, which was are action on the high
handed measures of Mr. Adams’ adminis
tration, which went on the other hand,
too far, as to the Army, being since ac
knowledged the greatest error into which
Mr. J.fell—even then then the peace es
tablishment was 3300: a force, who ah
though without an efficient staff, was
perhaps, nearly equal to our present
10,000, considering the Increase of our
exposed frontier, the gieat and necessary
augmentation of our fortifications, the
present number of our posts, (then only
27. now upwards of 80,) and the rapid
increase of our population and resources.
Hut, Mr. Jkffkiisox himself affords the
best commentary on his own administra
tion in this regard, for in the latter part
of it, the Army w..s increased to lo‘ooo
men. Yes, in the pure, simple and econ
omical days of Mr. J. with far less fron
tier, fewer -posts -and fortification, and
] with a miicU more limited population—.
