REPORT OF

THE SECRETARY OF THE TREA-

suar.

In obedience to the directions of the act

supplementary to the erf, intituled " An

act to establish the Treasury Depart

ment" the Secrettry of the Treasury

respectfully tubmits the following ?PORT AND ESTIMATES. Fhe nett revenue arifing from duties on merchandize and tonnage which

accrued during the year 1806, amounted to dol. 16.615,430

And that which accrued

during the rear 1807, amounted, as will appear by the fttatement (A) to 16,059,924

The fame revenue, after

deducting that portion 1 which arofe from the duty on faltrand from the additional duties, cotjRi. tuting the Mediterranean fund, amounted during the year 1806, to 14,148,784 And during the year 1807, to 14,375,855 But it is afcertained that the nett reven-

ue which accrued during the three firft

quarters of the year 1808, did not exceed

eight millions of dollars, and is daily de-creafing.

The ftatement (B; exhibits in detail the

feveral fptc.ies nf Merchandize arid other fources, from which that revenue was collected during the year 1807.

It appears by the ftatement (C) that the

fales of public lands have during the year

ending on the 30th of Sept. 1808 amount

ed to about 200,000 acresand the pny. ments by purchafers to near 550,000 dollars. 'Mre proceeds of fales in the Miflif fippi Territory, being, after d ducting the uiveying and other iucdential evpencrs, appropriated in the firft place, to the pay. mentof a fum of 1,250,000 dollars to the

Hate of Georgia, are diftimflly ftited.

It appears by the ftatement (U) that the

payments on account of the principal of

the publick debt, have, duiing the Hme

period, amounted to only 2.335.0CO dollars.

But the payments from the treafury, for

the annual rcimburfmmnt of the fix per cent, and deferred ftocks, and for the final

reimhurfmeut of the eight per cent, (to. will (exclufivrly of a fum of 730,000 dollars already in the hands of the trrifnrcr, a tcnt for the commiflioners of the finking

fund) amount during the laft quarter of

this year to 5, o76, 000 dollars : making the otl I of publick debt reimburftd from the Ift of April, 1801, to the Ift of January, ne thoufand eight hundred and nine, a ut thirty-three millions fix hundred : thoufand dollars, exclufivcly of more than fix millions paid during the fame period, in conformity with the provifions of the trea

ty and convention with Great Britain, and

of the Louisiana convention.

The publick debt will, on the firft day of January, one thoufand eight hundred and nine, amount to 56.647,663 dollars, cenfifting of the following items.

Old fix per cent flock nominal amount 20,706,603 22 unredeemed dol. 1 1,9 19,877 57 Deferred ftock nominal amount 1 1,717,476 92

unredeemed

And after the firft day of January, 1811

the whole annual amount pavable on ac

count of the intereft and annual reimburfe

ment, could not during the feten tnfuing partments

years, exceed 3,756,000 dollars. But un-j5. Naval department

der exifting circumnances, it is believed

that the leimburlement of that new fix per

cent, ftock will be nominal, ar.d mull be

effected by incurring a new debt to an e-

qual amount.

l he actual receipts into the treafury during the year ending on the 30th September 1808, as they principally arcfe from the re venue accrued during the preceeding year, (and the payments on account of drawback having beer, diminilhed by the embargo,) have been greater than thofe of any preceding ycar ana amounted to dol. 17,952,419 90 And the fpecie in the trea. fury on the 1ft October 1807, amounted to ' 8,529,573 08

an authority to borrow five millions, woul

only cratr, a new debt equal to the principal of old debt reimburftd during that year,

ind appears iufhcient to provide for any

deficiency arifing from the extraordinary

expences which may be thas authorifedby ronyrrefs.

It thus 'appears, that notwithstanding

tile general warrare 01 tne ceJIigerent pow

ers agaiuft neutral nations, and the confequent fufpenfion of commerce which took

place m the latter end of the year 18o7,

and not witbftandmg the increafed rate

of expenditure naturally arifing from that

ftate of things ; the ordinary revenue will

have been futr.cieiit to defray all the expences of the years 18o9 and 18o9, including" for I808 a reunburfement of debt exceeding fix millions of dollars, and without making any addition to that debt in 18o9. The meafurrs nectflary to be adopted in order to make a timely provifion for the fervice oftthe eufuing years, depend on the courfe which the U. States will purfue in relation to foreign aggrcfllons. And that being yet unafecrtaintd, it becomes neceffary to examine the feveral alternativea left to the choice of congrefs. Either the navigation of the ocean will be abandoned by the U. States; or it will be relumed. The firft fuppofition is that of continuance of the embargo of the vefiels of the United States, and admits of two alternatives. 1. Either a provifion generally forbidding exportation, may continue to make pait of the fydem, in which cafe, importations, whether exprefsly interdicted or not, muft, for want of the means of payment', be alfo difcontinuede 2. Or cxportations and rorrefponding importations may be permitted in foreign vefT-ls. The fecond fuppofition alfo offers two, and only two alternatives. It may indeed
