The following statement shows a nominal increase amounting to $5,217.26 in the gross postal revenue of 1870 over that of 1869, but as the amount of uncollected revenue at the end of 1870 was $113.68 less than that which was outstanding at the end of 1869, the actual excess of gross revenue in 1870, as compared with the revenue of 1869, is $5,103.58, a result which I submit is very satisfactory in the present state of affairs on the Continent, which in partially paralyzing commerce, has doubtless diminished correspondence.
