Potpotae, J.ts- It.image, E-vp commander,
arrived yesterday in this port, from a long
and interesting ctuisc on the coast ol

Porto Cabello is the only place that now
bolds out against the Colombian three*;
but it ia mote Ilian probable, that etc thia,
that has also surrendered.
* The Government of Colombia, Hi the
potta above-mentioned, appeared to be
well organised, and every disposition e
vinced to favor the commerce at the I'tit
led States.

assure our readers that the papers alluded

guish their partittin*. The advocates of
the Secretary at War are called Libe 'als,
while those of the Serrotary of the Trea
sury are designated Radicals. Mr. Cal
Ituuti is the friend of liberal salaries nf a
large army and navy, anti of all thosp
expences and establishments which it is
raid will make ns respectable tn the eyes

they say Mr. Crawford is in favour of mo
derate salaries and of keeping up no
greater iiavul or army enablishoient than
the ’ xigencies t,f the country m. y require,
lie is represented as deairous to go into

principles nf Mr. J If rson which are sup
posed by many to be obsolete.
Without feeling called upon tn give an

permitted to say, that' the advocate* of

ver will be popular and nothing but a
mistaken notion of public opiniun could
tempt the advocates of sny candidate to
offer him for support under the expects
lion that he would be the head of such an
administration. If Mr. Calhoun is tho
urged forward, Mr. Crawford’s friends
will have very little io do but. vote aud

It will be recollected that in the annual
-p rt of the Secretary of the Treasury,
transmitted to Congress nit the 10th day
nf' IKr.embet, 1891, Ihe receipts fur the
year 1849 were e-timatetl at sixteen mil
lions, one hundred and ten thousand dot
Ilia. Of tnia amount it was computed
that Ihe coaloma would afford fourteen
mi’linns—leaving two millinni one hut)
d and ten thouaand dollars to be aup
plied from other sources of revenue
aud ev -n on thal basis, it was calculated
that the receipts of the current year would
exceed the expenditure by one million,
one hundred and sixty two thouaand three
hundred and thirty eight dollars.
It is with much satislatlinn that we feel
ourselves atithont' d to congratulate nur
renders aud tlie nation, upon the clrar,
and almost indubitable prospect, that tho
estimates ol the Treasury will be more
than realtxed.
We have been favoured by s friend on
whose acquaintance with the subject we
can very implicitly rely—whose state
ments may be received sa verity, is,d
whose estimates are founded upon the best
knowledge of the subject, with the follow
ing obstruct of duties received and re-
ceivuble at the purl ul New-York fur the

This statement and estimates are made
only upon the dutira on goods, wares and
mcrcltandicet, anil are independent of the
duties on tonnage, $r. which, in this port
only, will probubly amount to three nr
four hundred thousand dollars, and which
are understood to have been included in
