tobe advisable at an early nay. "'"Tt-iT understood that the colonics in

louth merica have had great success dining tiie present year, in the stiuggle for thtir independence. The new govcrnment of Columbia has extended its tenitoties ar.d considerably augmented its strength, and at liucnos Ay its, where civil diss-antion had, for some time before prevailed, greater harm.my, and better order, appear to have b-.-en established. m Ktpial success has attended tlieir efforts I in the provinces on the Pacific. It has long been manifest that it would be imrossibie for Spain to reduce these colonies by force, and equally so, that no conditions, short ot their independance, would beVuisfac'ory to them. It may thorefoiebe presumed, and it is earnestly hoped, teat the government of Spain, juried bv enlightened ami liberal counsels, will "find it to comport with its inter

In conducting the fiscal operations of the year, it has been found necessary to

Under the influence of the most unfa-

year 1825, will exceed the demands at

present authorized by law. h may fairly be presumed, that, under the protection given to domestic manufactures, by the existing laws, we shall become, at no distant period, a manufacturing country, on an ex.enbive scale. Possessing, as wa do, the raw materials in such vast amount, with a capacity to augment them to an indefinite extent; raising within the country aliment of e vcrv kind, lo nn amount far exceeding the demand, for home consumption, even in the most unfavorable years, and to be obtained always at a very moderate price; skilled also as our people arc in the mechanic aits, and in every improvement calculated to lessen the demand for, and the price of labor, H is manifest that their success, in every branch of domestic industry, may, and w ill be cairied, under the encouragement given by the present duties, to an extent to mett any demar.d, which, under a fair competition, mav be made on it. A considerable increase of domestic manufactures, by diminishing the impor talion of foreign, will probably tend to lessen the amount of the public revenue As, iiowever. a targe proportion of the re venue, w hich is derived fiom duties, is aised from other articles than manufactures, the demand for which will increase
