_To the House of Representatives_:
In compliance with the resolution of the House of Representatives of
yesterday, requesting any information which may have been received at
the Department of State showing the system of revenue and finance now
existing in any foreign country, I transmit a copy of a recent dispatch

understood to be the only information on the subject of the resolution
recently received which has not been made public.
