20. The following Statement shews 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 paralysing commerce, has doubtless diminished correspondence.
