The Repo!)lie of Colombia (comprising Venezuela, New Granada, and Quito, and embracing a popula- Con of three millions) has, after a wat of fourteen years duration, incurred a foreign debt of 6,750,0301. of wh ch there has been redeemed 82,0501. and of the produce of which foreign debt a portion still remains unexpended. The United States of North America, after a warfare of little more than half the above period, found itself encumbered with a debt, foreign and domestic, on the establishment of its independence, of 11,501,4471. The domestic debt of Colombia cannot be stated with great precision. A commission of liquidation has been sitting for the last two years, for the purphse of examin ing and admitting all claims agility the State. This commission reported the amount of debt admi.ted, in cluding interest, to the Seth of June, 1824 (see the Gaceto de Bogota), to !)! 2,426 . 1393 &Airs ;' some por tion of which has already been discharged out of the last loan. The Commission is continuink its labours, and supposing that as much mire remains to be admitted as has already been passed, the total amount of the debt of Colombia, foreign and domestic, will not be found to exceed 9,000,0001. sterling, Let those who a: e in the habit of describing Colom bia as a country destitute of internal resources, answer the question-13y what Means so long and bitter a war. fare, both by land and sea, has been sustaioed without the incurring of an infinitely larger debt? In proceeding to an examination of the financial situation of Colombia, we have not the facility which WAS afforded in the case of Mexico, in the comprehen sive report of a Finance Commission. A similar state ment is to he presented to the Colombian Congress, by the Minister of Finance, during the Session which is to commence on the list of January next; but we cannot expect to be enlightened by it for some few months hence. The first great branch of revenue in Colombia is the Customs. By Official Returns, published in the Co/ombierno, of Caraccas, it appears that the receipts of the Cutom hotss,es of LA Gudyra and Puerto Cabello were as ful low, viz. _ _ In the year ending June, 11194. Dollars. Import Duties . . . 613,721 Export ditto . . 143,975 Other Duties . . 49,132 818,828 In the year ending June, 1825. Import Duties . . . 850,267 Export ditto . . . 175,888 The Return of the other Duties is not yet publhlied, but it may be assumed as in 1824 . . . 49,152 $75,131 Of the produce of the other Custom-las:roses, official returns have not reached this country. Private ad vices state that the Carthagena Custom-house was yielding 100,000 dollars per month ; and considering with how much larger an event of country that port communicates than La Guayra and Puerto Cabello, the receipts at its Custom-house may safely be taken at 1,000,000 dollars per annum. The port of Guayaquil yields at last 70,000 dollars per month, making, per annum, 840,000 dollars. There will then remain the Custom-houses of Santa Martha, Coro, Barcelona, Maracnbo, Cumana, An gostura, Panama, Rio Hache, and Porto Bello. Who ever is acquainted with the extent of country and popu lation, with which these ports respectivcly commu nicate, will ni,t consider that 1 ovcrrate them in the whole at 900,000 dollars per annum.--This forms a revenue of Customs of 3,615,009 dollars. . _ There is next a duty of Alcabala, or Excise, levied in each town of the Republics on all articles consumed. The like duty in Mexico is estimated to produce 1,868,223 dollars. The population of Colombia being, numerically, nearly half that of Mexico (but of con sumers I apprehend a greater proportion than half), this branch of revenue may be fairly estimated at 934,000 dollars. The tobacco monopoly is a very important branch H of revenue. The amount of its produce depends en tirely on the extent to which the cultivation is carried ; and as the country is now rapidly resuming its agri cultural labours, this monopoly must soon come to be largely productive. Depons says, respecting this source of revenue, 41 I doubt whether in fiscal history there is to be found an impost which has nia4e such rapid progress as the exclusive sale of tobacco in the provinces of Caraccas. In the eight last months of 1779, the year of its establishment, it was but 77,139 dollars net. In 1781 . . 154,235 lln 1793 . . 326,353 In 1782 . . 300,319 In 1102 . 724,430 In 1788 . . 368,922 This, it will be observed, was the produce of the de partment of Venezuela alone. Would it be unreason able then to estimate this braoch of duty throughout the Republic, as capable of yielding 1,500,000 dollars annually? There are some other branches of revenue of minor importance. The salt mines produce to the Govern. ment about 300,000 dollars per annum. Those of Zipaquira alone were yielding, by recent letters from Bogota, 14,000 dollars monthly. The mint yielded a profit last year, including the duty en gold coined, of 200,000 dollars. This latter source of revenue must increase rapidly. The Government mines of Mariquita are now being worked by an English Company, and are 'now yielding ore. From ;his the Government derives not merely the duty on the silver, but a fixed per tentage as rent. All the other mines throughout the Republic are about being put in motwm. Humboldt states that New Gra nada produced, in 1801;2,500,000 dollars in gold. This must he susceptible of a vast increase, and every increase in production proportionably augments the revenue. Putting these several branches of revenue together, if we estimate the total income of Colombia at .seven Imillions of dollars, I am persuaded we.shall be keeping considerably within bounds. •This .eitiorate derives considerable confirmation from Humboldt. w,hoats.tes 11)..t (with all the disadvantages of the ez.logive systutt Of Spain) the revenue of New Granada amounted lu We come now to look at the other side of the account: What is the expenditure of Colombia ? The estimate presented by the Minister for the Home Department to the last Oongress states the whole ex pen ,e o' the Republia in the administration of the Executive Government, the expenses of the C .ogre-s, the Government of the Pro vinces, the Administration of Justice, the Public versities, Re. at now dollars. Whether any estimate was presented by the Minister at War does not appear, but it is at least clear that the great warlike expenses to which Colombiit was so long subjected are now at itn end. Nit a single Spanish soldier is to Ix" fourad within her border. The only warlike expense slit has incurred, of late, has been in renderin; assist. ance to Peru, for which the leiter country is indebted to her upwards of three inilli'ons of dollars ; but that demand upon her Mearrais at an end. For many monthi past Peru has ceased to receive, or to require, reinforce ments from Colombia. The expenses of the Navy for the department of Caractas, in the year ending 1814, by the official returns of that department, were 255,00 d dollars. At Carthagena, they probably amounted to ai much, or more. But if, for the Army and Navy, we allow the sum of 2,474,985 dollars, making in the whole 3,000,000, I think we shall n it underrate the total expenditure of the State. Instead of thinking about making fresh bans, the Government appears to be usefully employing itself id bringing forth the resources of the country. By a-Decrees recently published in the Colombian°, the Government appropria•es a million of dollars to the use of agricul turists, on loan at seven per cent. taking the security of their estates, of which sum 300;000 dollars are officially stated to have arrived in the department of Venextrin is September la,t. A considerable sum has been appro priated, in the same way, to making advan.-es on to bacco, and half a million of dollars to the Mint, for making advances of bullion. Nor has the Government been inattentive to another point, viz. the beginning to make provision f. r the interest op the foreign loans, a decree having been passed for that purpose. SPAIN.

The...! estimates shall be forwarded 'by the several departments to that •of Finance, on the l st of November in each year, at furthest. S. The Ministry of Finance, after submitting the same to the Director-General of the Royal Treasury, shall state thereon such observations as may. be deemed expedient, and therefrom an aggregate estimate shall be formed. which shall be sent as early as possible.to the Pay Office, and therein also shall be exhibited the total proceeds of the revenue and taxes, the pay and expenses of the administration, as well as the net pro ceeds remaining to be disposed of, and the whole shall then be presented to the 'Council of Ministers ' . on or before the 15th of the said month.-4. The Council shaU examine them, and make thereon such corrections or alterations as they may think ptopel ; and this being done, the Minister of Finance shall present the same to me for my Sovereign approbation.-5. 'lle estimates being approved by me, they shall be transmitted to the several departments, to the General Board of the Royal Treasury, and to the General Office of Assess ments, and all others whom the execution of the same may concern.-8. No amount shall be ti erein inserted under the title of unforeseen expenses ; and for all such of this class as may occur, the Council of M. nisters. shall each year fix what they may think requisite ; but on condition that the same shall not be disposed of without my express approbation, en a previous proposal Ircro the Council. —4. No payment shall be admitted in account, that is not comprehended in the approved Estimates ; and if any should be made without this requisite, those shall be jointly answerable for the reimbursement who may have urdered the same, er interfere therein. Trie same Shall be understood with those persons who may dis pose of the fund destined fir unforeseen expenses, unless my previous approbation has been °budged, en a pro posal from the Council of Ministers, as establ shed in the sixth regulation.-8.
