This document more extensive than the mes sage, is defers us, and we present a synoptical sketch of its moat important details, it open* with a funeral oat! oe of the duties of the office, which indicate* a pretty large Md of enperri- J sion end accountability. , The estimate of appropriations to the end of the fiscal year, 1852, is as fellows; • 18M.

In the “department proper’ a difference of ♦7,577 50 results from tbe fact that at the expi ration of tbe last fiscal year unexpended balances of former appropriations remained, which brought the estimates of the present year below tbe le gitimate amonat. In tbe “land service,” an excerc appears in the estimate for ISTAcaused by tbe unexpectedly Urge amoont required for serveys in California, w hich, together with deficiencies in the estimate for th'- present year, swells tbe amount beyond tbe run properly chargeable to tbe Department. Leav.ng these out. the amount properly chargea ble to tre next fiscal year will be *822,036 47 In the matter of “Indian Affairs’’ a difference oi about one million of dollars is referred to es timates for defieiences included in those of the pre&snt fiscal year; and the appropriation of un expended balances to the financial demands of the next. '■ j In rti* • eeasus" uepaitm-nt s further sum of ; 150. -00 is required. The excess in the estimates under the bead of ’ United State* Court*’’ for the next fiscal year, is caused by tbe demand for California, New Mexico and Utah. The diminution of expenses apparent iu the estimate for the Penitentiary of the District, for 1853. is attributed to tbe increased productive ness of'the institution arising from its better management. The difference in the estimates relating to tbe Mexican Boundary Survey is merely an apparent one. the expenditures for the present fiscal year amounting to SIBO,OOO, and leaviug only $120,- 000 property cbargeable to the next. On the business of the “Pension Office*' the most interesting statements refer to the claim.s under tbe bounty land law of 28th Sept. 1850. Since the passage of that law tbe number of ap plicantshas reach- 150,000 on tbe Ist of Nov. 1851. By great application, and perseverance, of this number, 76,000 bad been examined, and 54,000 earned into warrant; 22,000 have been rejected or suspended for further consideration. The number of warrants now issued daily exceeds 400. It is alleged to have been th* invariable 1 ule of tbe office to act on tbe cases in the order of their presentation. In all case* in which com plaint a* been made of a departure from this rule, they have proved to originate iu suspen sions for some detect ex informality. The f .lowing suggestions of amendments an J modifications of existing laws are made:— Firn. That the benefits of the pension laws be con fined to those who tendered tbe military ser \ Iceland to the widows and -minor children of inch as are dead. SrW. That more efficient provisions be adopted to prevent frauds under the various pen sion* la as, and mote especially under those re lating to invalid*. (Tut ot 231 applications for invalid pensions from two of the Western States, on investigation, “idy 61 were found to be just, tbe residue were 11 adjutant. Third. That warrants for bounty lands under the act of 28th September. 1830, be as signable —Most of the holders of these claims are peisoos far advanced in life, or widows or or phans v. bo have uot tbe means of locating them to advantage, and can therefore only make them available by sale. - Fourth. The enactment of a law making it a' felony *) forge, utter, or publish as genuine, any forged laud wsiraut er other evidence of claim against the U. States for land, or any endorse ment or assignment thereof. Tbe passage of a general law oa tbe subject of forgery, provision Cor th* appointment of an as sistant commissioner of pensions; and a law re gulating tbe compensation of clerka in this de partment are recommended. The disposal of toe public lands embraces a very active and prosperous condition of affairs. The m. mtity of laad sold daring tbe last fiscal year wis 1,846347 Which tbe *um of 52,370,947 45 was received.

WThe Mexican Boundary Commission is stated to be in operation, though it has been involved in difficulties orginating in misunderstandings about tbe respective functions and powers of its officers. Major Wm. H. Emory is now suppos ed to have joined the commission, and a vigor ous prosecution of duty is expeeted. The report doses with an earnest and appro- Effete recommendation of the interests of the district of Colambss to the liberal consideration, jostic’. and magnanimity of Congress.

Kx-Pre«e«dta#s ot foe loglslatare. {From the Savannah Republican, 12 th mir.) Arrival of the Governor and Legislature. His Excellency Howell Cobb, Governor, tbe State House officers, and the officers and members of tbe Legislature oil tbe State of Georgia, arriv ed here last night at 8 o'clock. They were brought down on a special train despatched from Mi Hedge vi lie by Mr. Cuyler, President of the Central Kail Road. They were received at the depot by tbe Joint Committee of Council and Ci tizens, and by the Chatham Artillery', Capt. Gal lic. who fired a salute of twenty-one guns. The Guests were escorted by the Committee from the depot along West Broad sod Bay-sts. both of which were handsomely illuminated, to their quarters at the Pulaski House. There was a fine display of fire works on Bay-street and in Monument square as tbe procession moved along. We will be excused for saying that among tbe buildings illuminated was the Republican office —nay more, that we did “llsug out our banners on the outward wall*. the ever glorious stars and stripes. Arrived st the Pulaski House, the Honorable Guests weie entertained at wipper by the Committee of Ar rangement*. Mine host of tbe Pulaski, did him self much credit on tbe occasion. Several sen timents were given and speeches made, ami ail went “merry as a marriage bell.” There were t some five or six tliousaudfpersons assembled in | front of the Hotel to witness the arrival of our i distinguished Guests. It will be seen on reference to tlie programme ] in another column, that at 10 o’clock this morn- i iog his Excellency the Governor and Legislature 1 will be formally received and welcomed to the 1 city by bis Honor the Maylor, Dr. R. D. Arnold. At 12 o’clock the Governor will review the sev- J eral volunteer corpi of the city in the presence i of the Legislature, and to-night they will be en- I tertained with a ball at St. Andrew's Hall. Reception of tbe Governor and Legislature by tbe I Mayor. Hi* Excellency the Governor, the Executive officers, and officers and members of the Legisla ture of the State, were formally received this morning at 10 o'clock by bis Honor tbe Mayor, and welcomed to the city as its honored Guests. The ceremony took putce on a large platform erected in Monument square, in tbe presence of several thousand spectators. The square was filled almost to overflowing, during the ceremony.— Panged round it were many carriages, filled ; with feir occupants, while the windows, bal- 1 conies, perticoes and other elevated placet with- ! in view, were crowded with interested specta- j tors. The occasion altogether—whether we regard ! the immense numbers which thronged the square, tbe character of the Guerts, the addresses deliver- I ed, or the causes which had brought together tbe ! aggregated wisdom of the State from every coua- I ty within its broad limits—was one well caicu- 1 lilted to inspire the most indifferent spectator * with the liveliest interest. To tbe citizens of this j city, it was an occasion which filled them with I emotions of the highest gratification. They felt ‘ proud that she, the oldest daughter of Georgia, J should have been deemed worthy of the honor of I a visit from such distinguished guests. They felt no less proud of the character, the intelli gence. the patriotism of those guests. Elected as they had been tbe law givers of the State, for their wrtues and intelligence, and representing i in their official capacity the million of souls within her bonier*, our peoplfi felt that a com pliment had been _ paid them indeed, which j should tong be held in grateful remembrance.— . We had stretched out our iron arms, it is true, . from the Savannah to tbe Chattahoochee, from ! the seaboard to the mountains of Tennessee; but ! it Was not alone by “ books of steeP’ that we : would grapple the vast interior at our bosoms.— ’ There are other and more powerful bonds, less visible to the eye and yet stronger—bonds of! friendship, good will, and social Intercourse, 1 which we would extend to every man in the State end fender indissoluble by the enduring cc- • naent of brotherly love. When the guests had been eeated, His Honor . tiw Mayor, Dr. R. D. Arnold, proceeded to wel- i come them to th* hospitalities of the city, ia an appropriate and happy address. The several re •poases of His Excellency Governor Cobb, of the Boa. Andrew J. Miller, President of the Senate. I aad at the Hon, James A. Hern wether, Speaker , of the House of Representatives, were equally i happy and appropriate. We shall endeavor to ] lay three addresser before our readers as soon as i eopies of them can l>e obtained.

Behn's staff, ‘, then proceeded, in the presence of the members 1 . of the Legislature and an unroe nee concourse of ; ■ people, to review the Battalion, consisting ot the I 1 Volunteer Corpe of the city. It is needless to * • say he acquitted himself in handsome style. It j seemed as if the city had poured forth its entire i population to witness the interesting pageant. j The review over, the gnats repaired to For-> I i syth Place, where a most tempting collation was! spread in the best style by mine host of the Pa- J laski. Sentiment, wit and wine flowed freely j together. Many speeches were made and much j * good feeling exhibited, and all passed off most i happily. At four o’clock they sat down to din* I ner at the Pulaski House. | Among the speakers, we observed Col. Har- j moo and L. J. Glenn, and Henry M. Law, ; Esqures. There many have been others whom I I we did not see. We should add, that Gov. Cobb, j Mr. Miller. Judge Merriwether, Mr. Bartow, j Col. Harmon, Mr. Hill, Mr- Moore, and others I whose names we do not now remember, made ! short and appropriate addresses last night at ( wpper _ (Reported for the Baltimore Sim.) Thirty Second Congress—First Session. Washington, Dec. 10, 1851. SENATE. A large number of private petitions and memo- j rials were presented and referred. Mr.Berrien moved that the petition of the menu bars of the bar of the District of Columbia asking an increase of salary of the judge of civil court of the District of Columbia, be taken from the files of the Senate, and referred to the Committee on J udiriary. A readotion submitted by Mr. Underwood, of enquiry into the propriety of constructing artifi cial reservoirs lor the improvement of the navi* 1 gation of the Ohio river, was adopted. Mr. Clemens and Mr. Dodge, of lowa, intro- i duced bills, granting land to their respective j States for railroad purposes. Mr. Undbrwood reported back the ioint reso- j lotion, making land warrants assignable. 1 The resolution tendering to Kossuth a welcome . was then taken up. Mr. Sommer addressed the Senate most elo- j quentiy In favor of it. He gave the welcome to | toe man because he deserved it. Mr. Stockton followed in support of the reso lution. He was willing to welcome Kossuth. ; He, however, did not agree with the sentiments expressed by Kossuth with regard to the British monarchy. Mr, Clemens opposed the resolution. Kossuth | was nst a republican till after defeat. He enter- ( ed into the nistoryof the Hungarian difficulty, and argued that it was a war of races, the Mi- , gyars asking non rule over the Solavonians. He thought much of the sympathy misplaced. He denied that Congress ever invited Kossuth ex- 1 cent as an Emigrant. Mr. Shields and Mr. Foote, both replied, and j in favor of the resolution, the latter without con- , eluding, gave way to motion, and Senate ad- , journed. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The Journal having been read, the House, on motion of Mr. Harris, of Tenn., went into Com mittee on the State of the Union, Mr. Richard son, of Illinois, in the Chair, for the purpose of taking up the joint resolution relative to land warrants. Mr. Harris explained the object of the resolu- l tion, which is chiefly to authorize the transfer of lands and the payment ot the Receivers and I ; Surveyors; to be paid from the Treasury of the 1 United States. | j Mr. Evans, of Maryland, said he did not rise ■ ! to oppose the resolution, although he did so last I session- but. notwithstanding it hsd been read ! twice, ne did not comprehend it, and it might contain that which was not right. A copy, he ! said, should be before every member before he ■ was called upon to vote, and which might be to f the possession of all within three or lour days.— i He expressed himself opposed to such hurried , legislation, and which did not usually charade- f ! ize the proceedings of the House. With refer- , ] ence to paying expenses incurred where war ; rants have been issned, he conceived these should ; be borne by the individuals who had obtained I j them, In moving that the committee rise, he j pledged himself that he did not mean to vote ; i against the resolution or to impede its progress. \ He therefore moved that the committee rise, for I the purpose of moving that the resolution and | bill oe printed, j The Hou»<e resumed, apd the resolution was ! 1 referred to the committee, as was on amendment J I by Mr. Marshall. 6f Ky.. securing rights of de- 1 ! ceased officers and soldiers. Mr. Cobb, of Alabama, introduced a bill ex- | ' tending the provisions of the act of 1830 to that ! of 1700, conveying to revolutionary soldiers the ) same advantages, as to settlement, as is enjoyed j by those who were engaged in the Mexican war. Messrs. Ross, of Pennsylvania, and Smith, of Alabama, were excused from acting—the former on naval affairs and the latter on claims. Mr. Stephens, of Georgia reported that the committee to whom the subject had been re ferred, reported that the doorkeeper be directed to provide three seats for the Congressional repor ters of the Globe, in the same manner as the re- I porters are accommodated in the Senate. The Speaker then proceeded to call on the ! different members by States and territories for , motions. Among others. Mr. Walsh, of Mary i land, presented the memorial of the Printers , National Convention, against the present system . of public printing, as injurious to the public interests and the rights of labor—contracts being • made with persons who are not practical printers j end at the lowest rates, without regard to the ! mode of executing the same. Mr. Smith, of Alabama, gave notice that at an I early day he should move a joint resolution, di- I recting the Secretary of State to furnish Louis I Kossuth with the Acts of Congress,against tre-a- I son and misdemeanors, to prevent his making | any more seditious speeches, Mr. Stanton, of Ky., inquired if the gentlemen from Alabama wished to re-enact the law against sedition. Mr. Smith did not wish to re-enact any such * law, but be wanted no more Pampero expedi tions. The Speaker said, as the motion had been ob- I j jected to, it was not competent for the House to ! take a vote, but a motion coaid be given by leav- I ing it with the Clerk. Mr. Robinson, of Indiana gave noticeofare -1 solution, extending a welcome to Louis Kossuth ; which was objected to. Mr. Johnaon, of Tennesaee, requested to be excused from acting as chairman of the Cora- 1 mitteeon Claims. ! An attempt was made to bring forward the re- 1 solutions for authorizing the Clerk of the House to furnish members with newspapers, but was 1 again deferred. - < Mr. Jones has introduced a resolution, the ob- < ject of which is to prevent members from de- * riving emoluments for presenting claims, which Mr. Bocoek, of Virginia, considered as conveying 1 undeserved imputation, but which was referred 1 to the committea on judiciary. 1 The Speaker having got through with call. ' ing upon the Slates and Territories, the House 1 adjourned. . i I < We notice with much pleasure, the arrivalj ’ yesterday of the iron steamer D. L Adams from 1 ft.«T I- I, wito Utt toheefettoe.

Bat we waive this objection, and for all practical purposes consider it an invitation direct, positive and unequivocal, to visit the United States, and ask, does that imply that this government shall abandon the policy established coteranoraneously with its foundation, and en tangle its foreign relations at the bidding of Kof i sutfa, who seeks to obtain its aid to sustain his i sinking fortunes, and threatens, ii not granted, to j appeal from the government to the people * We ; j think not, and we feel satisfied that no intelli gent, well balanced mind will desire to see this government commit itself to any such wild and extravagant policy. We bad intended the preparation of an article expressive of our opinions upon tins extraordina ry positions assumed by Kossutb, in his recent speeches in New York, (positions which we j think most extraordinary, not to apply any i stronger term, under the circumstances;) but we | find in the Americas an aditorial so entirely cor ■ responding with our own views that we adopt it: { In the glowing reception given to this illus . trious stranger on his arrival amongst ns, the j claim* of the exile and the patriot to our sym ' petty and to our hospitality are recogivved with | most imposing demonstrations. The leader of | a nation struggling for freedom and falling in the conflict; a man endowed with extraordinary ; faculties of mind ; with indomitable energy and I courage; with enthusiasm, and a touching elo : qnence to sway the hearts of men—the advent 1 of such a hero flying from imprisonment or the ' scaffold, could not but awaken the liveliest sen ] sibilities in the American heart, and ensure to , the noble fugitive an enthusiastic welcome and , the cordial proffer ol a refuge and a home. The eminent distinction wbicn Kossuth bad attained in his country’s struggle for freedom, gave him such a claim to the consideration of the American people, that the invitation which the spirit 6t our institutions holds forth to all suffer , ers from political tyranny in the Old World. , was specially extended to him and his : in captivity, by the resolutions of the two houses of Congress, authorizing tlie employment of a public vessel to receive and convey them to the United States, if it should be their wish to come. The distinguished honor thus extended to the Hungarian Chief, was so extended in full accor dance with the public sentiment of the country, and so far all is sympathy, cordiakty, and good understrnding. Whatever demonstrations of welcome the public enthusiasm might prompt upon the arrival ot one so highly appreciated and admired, let them go forth in the most , imposing displays ; each • e reception would be ; due to the man and to bis cause , It appears, however, that Kossuth does not : come te our shores to accept the hospitality of a home ; but to plead the cause of his country, < and to enlist the people of the United States in | behalf of another effort to give freedom and in -1 dependence to Hungary. He would have , us endorse that effort and stand strety against Russian interposition, which would as certainly ■ take place as that the effort should be made. He has come to solicit our u ojtenuice sympathy 1 to obtain for his country’s cause our “financial, material and political aid”-«which means our | miiunty aid; he calls upon us, in effect, to pledge ourselves to take arms against “the sacrilegous : league of despotism” and go over the Atlantic to confront it on its own ground. An entirely new aspect of the subject is here ; presented. The avowals of Kossuth are open and explicit; he affects no concealment, no res | ervatiou. In the thundering shout of aedaim i which greeted him in New York, he would hear j only the sound of tba trumpet announcing the ’ resurrection of Hungarian freedom ; in the mil itary array that surrounded him he would see | nothing but the bayonets that were to gleam in I the battlefields of Europe in mortal conflict with I the hosts of Russia and Austria. Nay, so deep ly is he absorbed in his enthumam on this subject, and so confident apparently in the hopes it has engendered, that he even ventures to avow in difference as to the action of our Government, if not to bid defiance to it, whatever it may be ; for “irfiaJever may he the declaration of your Ooverm fmnt, u he says at Staten Island, u l know that I have the honor to be in a country tnxert the Bam retgm it not the Government , but the people, and where every man in office most be the represen tative of the direction which the public spirit of the people takes.” Between the cordial welcome that awaits the arrival of distressed patriots in this laud, and the disposition to acquiesce in the policy which Koesuth desires to see this country committed to, there is a difference as wide as the entire ex panse of the Atlantic. To all who may come from Europe as apostles on such a mission, the answer arises : “We have in our the guardianship of Republicanism where we know that we can uphold it, if we prove faithful to our trust. We know no other land urfder the sun where we have anv reasonable assurance that it can be upheld. If it can stand in Europe, let Europe make it stand. We are not called unon to carry the heritage of our fathers abroad. We cannot prove traiiois to our selves, in order to make a fruitless attempt to befriend you.

No distinction be tween Government and People is known in this Republic—whatever the case may be in Prance; nor is it likely that a foreigner, however distin guished, oaa make any. When this was prepared by the American, the the editor had nc* probably sera the following report of Ins reply to the committee, who invited him to visit Phiiadelphis, in which he not only expresses his august displeasure at the action of Congress, but threatens to return immediately to Europe. M. Kossuth has evidently much to learn of the republican simplicity of this country and of the American chancier. He is not now ia Europe, where the most prominent trait of the body politic is man-worship—and he may find, unless his tone is changed, that his retire ment will be as cordially greeted as was his ap proach. But to the extract : “Kossuth said be was extremely rejoiced at this demonstration en the part of Philadelphia, and that be felt the highest gratification is being thus honored by the glorious corporation of that renowned city. Before ho left Europe' one of the oleamre* be had DromiMfi bim«*ir w«j to «*» pieJiwrwi ue uaa promisea BUUsilt, wai to meet and mingle with the citizen* of that great city, where the Declaration of Indapendence had been proclaimed; and he felt now very auxiou* to visit the hallowed spot where immortal charter had been adopted. Bat he went on to •ay, that at the present moment, it was quite impossible for him to declare at what time he could go there, and that, indeed, it wu not eertain that he could go there at all His object in visiting this country was not a person al one —Ue did not come to promote any selfish purpose, and be could not, therefore, do any thing th it was calculated merely to gratify Lim aelf. His object was to promote the great cause of liberty throughout the world, and especially in Hungary: and while ha was sure the people of the U. S. sympathised iu that object, be could not . but say that be was deeply dbtres.-ed at the ac tion which had been taken by (one brauch of) Congress. He bad the highest respect and re gard for Congress—be recognized it as the ex ponent c if the national will, and in view bf wbat it had done, his own movements were necessa rily emh irrassed. Whether he would be con tent to go beyond New York he could not now’ say ; but lie was free to declare, that had the proceedings in r ongre*s, to which he had ad verted, reached him before he left Europe, be would have hesitated about coming to this coun try at all. “The reason why I say this is, that though I am fnlly aware of the circumstance, that in the ! U. States it is the public opinion of the people j which decides in the last instance on public af fair), and though 1 must confess that 1 have re ceived here in New York such a manifestation of the sympathy of the people as gives me hope and coosohstioo, still 1 regard myself invited t» this country by an act of Congress initiated in the Senate. Now, bad I known that iu the some place where I was invited, the same tody would now decline to bid me a welcome, 1 ! would have thought that I was not a welcome ■ guest; so much the more as the President of the Uuite’d States has formally invited the Con gress iu hi* message to consider what steps are to be taken In receive the man for whom he lias sent a frigate to Asi *, complying with the will of the same body in which now, a resolution of further political tendency—the simple reso iution to bid men welcome —was withdrawn, on account of an expected opposition. Under such circumstances 1 would not have wished to intrude.” And as it was, with the utmost gratitude to all who bestowed on him such marks of kindness aa the City of Philadelphia bad ottered, and espe cially with sentiments of sincere regard for Philadelphia and its citizens, be must deter for a day or two any positive reply to the request which hid heeu made to him. Again, in reply to a committee of the Ncu \ ork Press, who waited on him to solicit bis at tendance upon a public banquet, to be giveu st such lime as might suit his convenience, he took occasion to express his disapprobation of the course of Congress, and to intimate his purpose to withdraw trom the country. We give an extract; “M. Kossuth received Uio committee with S;reat cordiality, and expressed his warm thanks or ihe compliment. He appreciated folly the importance of the press, which he characterized as the grest power of the age, and said that no more welcome invitation could have bean ex tended to him. He felt greatly embarrassed as to fab star in this country hr the i IfiftlAtl €\i # 'An. I vvuuuj uj uie ■cuon oi t ou fresg. He said he should probably have come to the United Slates, upon his release from cap tivity, whether he had been invited or not, be cause his high admiration «f the institutions and people of America bad made him long desirous of visiting oar shares. But be had pot coins wholly of his own motion. He bad come at the invitation of Congress; and he feh bound, therefore, to abide by their express will as to re. maining. If they should reject the resolution now before them, which simply declares he is welcome here, be could draw ixTether infer*nee than that he was not wanted, and of course he should withdraw He skunld consider the door shat in his face. Out if this should not prove to be so. it would give him great pleasure to accept the dinner tendered by the press at as early'a aft . er 1,16 .entertainment of the Common Council, as might suit the convenience us its members. After some consultatiuii the evening of Monday next was fixed upon ” If Congress has one spark of true American pride and dignity, we are greatly mistaken if he has not adopted the best possible course to pre* vent the passage by Congress of any invitation to him to visit Washington, and to secure his early withdrawal from the country. in reference to hu purpose of obtaining the intervention of this country, in the affairs of Hungary, varying in the slightest degree from the established policy of lha government, we regard U the wildest chimera that could have entered any mao’s brain. And certainly no man, not a demagog up, or who is not I adoring under a sort nf hallucination, amounting te monomania, tfpoa the subject of the spread of liberal principles in Europe* could ever have fur a moment entertained the idea that gov ernment would emb rail itself in their straggles. Yet, aa the Timas and Herald both contain the following paragraph, apparently giving an an thoritativa explanation es the nature of the “intervention’’ which Kaseutfa expects of the United States government, we give it for whet it ia worth.” “Kossuth simply asks that *-g u -' 1 and Am#, rica shall unite in affireiwg the policy that ovraymriiom Krillhewn the riefct to wMrarisfrifcriri MfomooU - Anmrica) shod aoT*o3k gytr^a , srfty-.fc srts srzsrjsl stt- £ IP** ■*. •*?P* w * r ,« *or rsnimj in this asttr* Mby •mammmi* position, ha ■sUMUmia tNwd ha of oarhe «■* ****fved m war.
