LETTE&R OF THE SECRETARY. The Secretary of the Navy has submitted to Congress a letter setting forth the amount of the deficiency in the pay of the navy, the naval hospital fand, and the fund for the pay of the marine corps, at the close of the fiscal year ending June Seth, 1877. He re- serves the report of the deficiencies for con- strociion and repairs arising out of coutracts with individuals for clothing, steam mi chinery, &c., for the reguiar session. He bas deemed it best not to allow any portion of the appropriations for the present yeur ta be expended before the year commenced. H+ bas found it necessary to omit to pay officers and men of ihe navy for the last quarter of the last fiscal year. The pay roils of the navy in the Fourth Ao- ditor’s ‘office show that there is now due for the last quarter of the last year the sum of $1,446 16, there Is also due for tae same quarter tbe sum of $311,955 153, which has been advanced for the foreign service by the financial agents of the government i on dor; besides this there is due to office arrearaces and difference of there is now due to the Hosptial faod, $50,000; vo the enlisted men of the Marine vice there is due $15,219.50; making tu $2,003,801 2.

This invitation was communicated to this vernment in May, 15i6, oy the M nister of rance at this Capital, and a copy thereof was submitted to the proper committees of Congress at its last session, bu: no actiou was taken upon the subject. The Department of State has received many letters from various parts of the coun- try expressing @ desire to participate in tne Exhibition, and numerous applicativas of a similar nature have also a made at the United States Legation at Paris.
