unless toe United States take immediate steps 
to check the arbitrary interference of its officers 
in Mexican affairs, entire ruin will be brought 
upon the whole population of toe frontier. 
Tl»e National Kevenne System, 
Congress several weeks since authorized 
Commissioners to be appointed to investigate 
toe whole subject of taxation, with a view to toe 
simplification of our revenue system, so as to 
render onr taxer less multifarious and less bur¬ 
densome. The Commissioners have made their 
first report, and among the numerous and im¬ 
portant changes they propose are the following: 
L An exemption of all incomes below >1,000 
from the income tax. 
2. A reduction of the tax on distilled liquors 
from $2 to >1 per gallon. 
3. A remission of all taxes now levied on wear¬ 
ing apparel, 
4. A repeal of the taxes now levied on pig iron, 
(>2.40 per tun,) coal, (six cents per tun,) and crude 
petroleum. 
5. A repeal of all taxes now levied on books, 
magazine* and pamphlets; leaving toe present 
taxes on paper and leather. 
6. A reduction by one-half of the duties now 
levied on homo manufactures generally. 
7. A repeal of all taxes now levied on repairs 
of engines, cars, carriages ana ships. 
8. A repeal of all taxes embodied in schedule 
A. of the. Internal Revenne Act of last session, 
except those on billiard tables. 
P. A redaction of the tax now levied on brokers’ 
sales of stocks from $5 per >1,000 to >1 per >1,000. 
10. An increase of the tax on raw cotton from 
two to five ccntd per pound. 
These modifications (with many others) are 
proposed to take effect on the 1st day of July 
next, and their general effect will be a redaction 
of our present burden of internal taxes, it is ex¬ 
pected, by about one-fourth. Yet, even with 
the changes thus proposed to be made, the 
Commissioners calculate that our internal rev¬ 
enue will amount for the ensuing year to no less 
than >237,000.000, aud our duties on imports 
to 130,000,000, making an aggregate revenue of 
$367,000,000. If, then, the cost of supporting 
our Government shall be $100,000,000. and the 
interest on our public debt should reach >167,- 
000,000, there would be left >100,000,000 to apply 
to the reduction of toe principal of onr national 
debt, at which rate it would be utterly extin¬ 
guished in twenty-five years.

tees of order and security, w hich have developed 
its resources and raised its commerce with 
France alone from twenty-one to seventy-seven 
millions. A* I expreseed the hope last year, that 
our expedition was approaching its termination, 
I am coming to an understanding with toe Em¬ 
peror Maximilian to fix the epoch for the recall 
of our troops before their return is effectuated

which we have been defending in that remote

North America, issuing victoriously from a

the maintainance of the amicable relations which

The emotions produced in the United States 
by the presence of onr troops on toe Mexican 
soil, wiil be pacified by the/rankness of our dec¬ 
larations. The American people will compre¬ 
hend that our expedition to whioh we invited 
them was not opposed to their interests. Two 
nations, equally jealous of their independence, 
ought to avoid every step which might affect
