Finances of Virginia. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES-Saturday Jan. 6. The speaker laid before the house a letter om the treasurer, in closing his account with the commonwealth, between the first day of January, and the 31st day of December, 1812, inclusive; which account was read as follows: The public treasury between the 1st day of January and the 31st day of December, 1812.

Animated by the most sincere love of peace, the president of the United States, in the same despatch, announces to the British government, the existence of war, and the equitable, easy, and honorable means, by which its progress might be arrested, and its calamities permanently prevented. But this extraordinary proof of a humane and pacific disposition is treated with contempt. Familiarized to the slaughter of man around the globe, the British government prefers the effusion of human blood, to a suspension of the inhuman practice of impressment, even during the short space of an ar-. mistice agreed on for the purpose of negociating a just and honorable peace; nay, notwithstanding the offer made by the government of the United States, to exclude British subjects from our merchantmen and navy. But what atrocities are too enormous to be found in that government, whose characteristical features are cruelty and perfidy; which stimulates the savage to drench his tomahawk and scalping knife in the blood of our frontier men, women and infants; 614,046 44 which, making the most solemn professions of friendship and peace, strives, by the malignant breath of its secret emissaries, to kindle in our nation, dissatisfaction, discord, rebellion and civil war, with all its sanguinary and horrible consequences!
