The amount expended in 1811, was 813,090,795,41. For the.

For tie last fiscal year it was reduced to �2,112,814, 57. These favo Rahla results Are in part owing to the cessation of Neil service in the in Iii j slates and in part to a Enre i n 1 review of. i tie expenditures in that department on the interest of Economy.

The Indian tribes. Trio Indian tribes upon our frontiers have during Trio past year manifested a spirit of insubordination and at several Points have engaged in opon hostilities against tho White settlements in their Vicinity. Trio tribes occupying tho Indian country South of Kansas renounced their Aile Giunco to Trio United states and entered into treaties with Trio insurgents.
