In the Annual Repots of this state of the Tres. sury, of the sth of December, %817, the permanent revenue tees estimated et 14,525 1 000 dollars per an num ; and the stmeot.expenditsig, according to the then e iliting taws, was stated at t 1,946,351 74 cents. By the Acta of the last Session of Congress, the internal Mies, estimated et 2,500,000 dollars, per annum, were repealed, whilst the expenditure WU augmented to *early 25,000,000 dollars ; • • 4 and that FA the !►Oak than 24,51531 U (101 The apparent de► by the application . the payinent of the principal of the put the annua. . _ propriation of 10,000,000 dollars for that object, has rea supplied by the receipts into the Treasury on account of the arrearage of the direct tale and internal ties, and- by- the balance of more than 6,000,000 dnilara whirl; was in the Treasemoo the lst,day of January, 1818. These temporary sources of supply being nearly exhausted, the expenditure of the year 4819 meet, prinCipilty depend opon the receipttinio thelressuir from the permanent revenue during that year.. As was anticipated in the last Annual Report, the re action produced by the excessive importations oaf. foreign merchandize, during the years 1815. and 1816, acqoired its greatest force in the year 1817. . It is presumed that' the revenue which shit)! accrete . -during the present *ear from imports and •tonnage 1019 be considered as the average amount which will, be, atep . eally rec.verl 'tom that awes of the revenue. Its Is ascertained that the bonds taken for securing ditties, *bleb were outstanding on the 30th of Sep tember last, exceeded 43,000,000 dollars ; and ,the receipts into the Treasury, from that sonic* of ;re venue, during the year 1819, are estimated at. 24,220.000 dollars; • athich added to the iialattce in the Treasury ow the i lst day of January, .1819, esti. metal at 1412,401 dollars, 54 cents, makes the aggregate amount of 26,232,408 dollars, 54 cents. The probable authigrized olemsnds on the Treesury during 18419 "are eitimeted to amount to 24,515,90 dollars, 75 -rests; which being ,deducted frets •ba tiortognt estimated to be received into the Treasury, . incleditsetbi balance on the Ist day of Jinuary, 1819, team a balance in the Treasury, on the 14 4., of Jansiery, 18W, of 2,717,188 dollars, 83 011141., , In presenting this Estimate of receipts for the year 1819, it is necessary to premise, that the sum to be received from the customs is less than what, from the amount of the outmoding bonds, would, under the ordinary circumstances, be received. The amount of the sales of public lands during the last year, end the sum due at this time by the purchasers, would justify a much higher estimate of the receipts from that important branch of revenge, it the most serious dithcul y in making l'itiyuneuts was not known to exist. The excessive issues of the Banks during the suspension of specie permeate, and the great exportation of the precious metals to the East Indies 'during the 'present year, have produced a pressure upon them, which has rendered it necessary to con 'tact their discounts, for the purpose of withdraw ing from circulation a large proport ion of their notes. This operation, so oppressive to their debtors ? but indispensably necessary to eke esicence of specie payments, magi be con•inaiid, untiljeld and silver shall fore. a just proporti:.n of tha - citceletine cur rency, • In passing through this sprdeal, punctuality in the discharge of deMs, both to indiaititsils and tn. the Government, will he comaderably itipoited, anci welhfpuqded apprehensions are entertained, un til it isoissed,paysnsint• in some of the land districts' bategtly diminished. The extent into which paymente into the Trea sury during the dear 1819 be affected by the ge neral pressure upon the communit*„ which has been described, end • hich is the inevitable consequence of the over-trading of the bans, and the exportation of specie Co the East Indies, aggravated by the tem• porary failure of the ordinary supply of the precious metals from the Spanish American m i t ies,caosiot at this time be correctly appreciated. Should it exceed what has been contemplated in this Report," the appropri 'tiara must be diminished, the Revenue enlarged by new *Positions, or temporary loans authorized to meet che deficiency. As the expenditure of the year 1820 will he greatly reduced Icy the irredeem able quantity of the public debt, after the redemp dos '9l.the remaining moiety of the Lo u isiana st uc k, which May be effeved'on the 21st day of October, 1819, by a resort to temporary tonna, or to the issue of 'rreasury notes, to the amount of the deficiency, should xny occur, it is believed to be preferable to the imposition of new tales, which would not be required after that year.. , ~,--: ~_.

They are chiedy occupied with the documents submitted to Congress along with, the PRESIDENT'S Message. Their latest notice of the proceedings of Congress is from the Washifition Gv.tete of the 26th November. This is only to the same date as the details we bate received throogh the medium of the other Papers, whose contents me flare given. There is no news from South America. ft Is noticed that the Secretary of State of the Repablic of iisyti, has issued an order esplanetory of the Decrees imposing duties on imposts, from which It appears that all merchandise of British mencfseture, imported in British vessels. h admitted at b per *cent. import duty, and all other goods, or British goods in vessels of any other nation, pay a duty of 10 pot , cent. Accounts from Ana Cayes represent the trade • whit shims People as exceedingly unpromising and precarious. The produce of the country is scarce, anti 'hi coast is infested faith pirates. We have for some time suspected (rem the Stake el' the French Funds, and other circumstance', that some' important political changes were expected. They have now taken place. The whole frame of the French Ministry has fallen to pieces, awl, " quick, Presto, begone," M. DC CATF.II and all the instru ments end puppets of foreign power, who held the reins of Government in France for her oppressors, have vanished into political inanity. The divisions of Louts's Cabinet having led to a general rupture, nn Thursday last (Christmas-eve) all the Ministers gave in their resignations, and the King accepted of them all, with the exception of the Duke of RIcIsE LIEU, who immediately exerted himself to All op the vacancies, end formed a new Ministry, thespecifica. tion of which was as follows:- 66 M. CUTIER (the great naturalist, wire was lately in FAglantl), the new Miniater of the Interior; M. MOLLIEN (formerly Minister of the Treasury during the reign of BONAPARTE, a place which he oczepied also daring the hundred days), .Minister of Finance; M. St bison (Member of the Chamber of Deputies, who had been Councillor of Softie under BONAPARTE, and Minister of Justice in the kingdom of West pha. lie), Minister of Justice; M. nu VILLELE (Member of the Chamber of Deputies), Minister of Marine.: and Count .I.,tw DC I.4untrrow (Peer of France, Ald-deXamp of BONAPARTE, sod his Ambassador at the Coirt of Peteraborgh daring the years 1811 and 1812), Minister of War. The principal cause of this esiraordinery event, appears to have been the apprehended consequence' of annulling the Election Law, for the Recruiting Project is a subor'dinate consideration. The ' real cause, however, of the change may be found in the. characters of the late Ministers, and the timidity and indecision of the King in a c. Isis of such national importance as France is about to be in. volved.—The same timidity induced his Maks. Iy to give to the Doke nu Ricnst.two uGarte4lanche for the formation of a responsible Ministry, which the situation of the Monarch and the eircumstanies of the country now more than ever require. France demands a free Constitution—the People of that Mussed country still require a more general voice in the election of their Representatives, end the Ultra-enemies of individual and national liberty would still withhold that right from the mass of so. 'levy. Without the exercise of this right, boa ever,. the peace and government of society cannot be as.' sired, and all the boasted establishments and crier-- cive plans of the Powers of Europe will go for nothing. It is impossible to calculate the result of this crisis 1n French affair!, though we think it ; ~: ~=„ PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, Dsc. 25.—(Afteranon.) The crisis of the Ministry has as yet bad no info. ince nn the Public Funds. fu-day, at the Exchange, the Five per Cents. are 63f. 03e. Nothing is es yet decided regarding a new Ministry. The Duke of Richelieu is in negociation with M. Wife to induce him to remain in the Ministry with M. de Villele, and to prevail upon him to accept of the Department of Marine. In this case the Ultras would triumph, and M. de Cases would kilobit; infleeoce. 1 cannot give credit to this theory.
