We cannot come to ‘any other conclusion than what we have heretofore presented—that the peace of these two great countries will be preserved ; and we sincerely hope that the present favorable oceasion will not be allowed to pass away without the re-establishment of the most friendly relations ; for we should be apprehensive, if the negotiation be delayed until the adjournment of Congress, some other elements of discord may be introduced, to widen the breach.

This improvement has been caused partly by the important and favorable commercial ad- vices from Europe, partly bya slight improvement 49 our money market, and partly by the ecoumulation of interest on the investments. There is now. very littlé doubt but that Maryland will resume the payment of the interest on her public debt, some time during the present year. The Committes of Ways and Means, in the House of Delegates, to whom that part of the Governor's message relating to the | Ginances of the State, was referred, report thet a period of four years has elapsed singe the State discontinued the regular and punctual paymentof interestenthe | public debt. On the let day of February, 1842, the Stale of Maryland was unable to meet the interest then due on her public debt. The revenue of the past year,epplicable to the payment of the interest on the public debt, ex ceeded the amount of interest which accrued during the year, by the sum of fifty-five thousand, three hundred and sixty three dollars and thirty-one cents, and tne excess extinguished so much of the arrearages which had accumulated in precediog years. The Committee have, after a careful ioves™ tigation, come to the conclusion thate resumption f the regular payment of the interest on the public debt can be made with a reasonable expectation of oer tainty, to do eo hereafter without interruption. 4 ‘They recommend that the attempt be made, and in de” Ance of this recommendation, present the annexed state ment of the finances of the State :— Fivances or Manvianp, 1845 axp 1846.
