• 431 k RICAN CONGRESS. I 1 HOUsr. OF REPtif;s::NTATIYES.—DEc. 4. Mr. TAOCIP si.bmitted a number of Bastain-• lions, whose object was the viudicalien and pro. tectiog of our commercial tights a c valust the tor, : tile a,:zr e ssions of the belligerents or Europe. Jie seinar haul, that the colonic. ee, small remnant • of commerce., which are were 'uttered to enjoy un the ocean, it mac not 'difficult LO 115Cerlaili-50 Little walethere of it ! • lt was but . right Oat we ah.uW discover upon what priweiple it W 46 that EnAland and France had issued these Or. stets and pect...es apiost ucutral sounneree.;-- It was nut a belligerent • rtAlit ; because if' we submitted to the mere paper proclamations of I.lockatio and commercial exclusion in time of war, we Must liteuise 'submit to them in intervals of WM... They were equally illegal at all dank— . They were not founded upon any otto right what ewer growing out of s state of war. What, said. lw, was to prohibit us from doing to linglanil and France what they do to us ? if 'England gave out licenses to our vessels to trathito the Clontittent w , let us too levy duties} and grant licenses to her ships t o trade to the Brazils anti the Spanish Main; a Wade which was almost wholly engrossed by ber, and to which she Thad no more claim than we have. If France and England seize our vessels, and d..taiis.anil confiscate the property of our merchants, we have the same right to do so to them. These retulations would toot lead to hostilite more than anv other Ine,wirc .% hose (o.)j:et was similar to that •.s:iicti they were intended to ta(vetuate, the maititemoim of cur commercial rights. In ,re,:raral to France, they would approach nearer to war than in regard to England, as the ditierence in their application to those two nations will SUM. France- had little er !no commerce upon the emu ; and these, proem notsl.l seem to indicate to%varata her a tweet eacquirocal hostility than towards Great Britain. 1.

THE AMERICAN BUDGET. MR. GALLATIN'S REPORT. In obedience to, tbo directions of the act snp plementary to the act entitled An est to establish the Treasury ll..partment," the Secretary of the Treasury respectfully submits the following re. ports and estimates : The duties on merchandiie and tonnage which acerved during the year 1417 amounted, after del ieting the cryostat of collection, to - 25,136;64.3 dolls.

Mating together with faz balaiwe in the Treasury on the Ist of October, 1808, and 'amounting to 19,843,717,52 An aggregate of 29,162,470,68 . The disbursements during this same year have consisted of the following items,via.— Civil Department, ino.luding saisrella nevus ex peaces, and those incident to the intercourse with Foreign Nations 1;139,636 Tit • Military and Na.val Establishment!, in- , r • eluding the Indian Department, viz. • hlilitary, • including arni.i . and Fortifications - 3,366,403 12 N; - 2,379,167 80 • 10481,559 219,396 - 11,322,163 • davy Indian Department - 592,303 81 6,037,97 j 76 Interest on the Public Debt - - 13 • 10,639,75 1 14 ::eimbuisgment of the Prio s elpol Ist* • Public Debt - • •. 7 . „ • 6,799,717 . 51 Amounting together,nr.wirogrpear more in detail by the Stottment 08) to 17,,535,5% €5 - And leaving is Treasoey on the 111th of September, 1809, a batraCe of Whence it appears that the exsrtet3:9cy3' 01 of vefutuent, exelpstvely of the payMents olktccostut of the principal of the debt, have exceeded ac tux! receipts into the Treasury by a sent of sit thirteen hundred thousand dollars ; and that that S t, • deficiency, as well as the reimbursement of the principal of tlic debt, have been paid out of the sums previously in the Treasury, 'or in other wurik, out of the sarplus of tlio revenue of the preceding years. 'flue outstanding -revenue bondemay, after de ducting tin, expellees of collection, and iillowing for bad debts, he estimated to tare amounted On the 36th of Sept. 160), to - 7,..503,Q00 dolls. The duties on the importations during the last quarter will not probably, after waking a similar deduction, fall short of • - - -If thus-, will tall due prior to the Ist thy of January,•lBlO, and wake toy gether with the balance iw the Trews fury, on the 30to rcpt. 1809, NO amuuutioi; us above stated, to • - %MON 5,800.000 An arvegale of 16,100,0,0 The expenees of the present quarter, thuitga nist yet precisely ascertained, will not probahl), including the pay ment. on _account of the public debt, . exceed 3,603.000 Leaving on the ist day of January, litlo, a sum of 12,503,013 About twelve and a half millions of dollars in cash for bonds payable duaing the year 18.10, and applicable to the expimees of that year. This es. iimige !macro* is funded on the . supp,titiun that the amount of debentures payable in that year will not exceed too millions of dollars, a n d that the receipts during the year arising from importation subsequent to the Ist of January next, and from the sales on band, will bu sufficient to pay these debentures, and to leave at all times in the Tres, sury at least one million of dollars. Estimating the expences of a civil nature, bnth domestic and foreign, for the year MO, at the same amount annually expeaded fur those objects during the preceding year, or at about 1,5J0,0011 And adding thereto the annual appropria tion of - - - . - 8,00,000 For the public debt, (of which c:11, about three million .even hundred and • tifty thotound dollars will be applied to the final reintburseinent of the I::xclinge six per stock ; it follows, that unless the aggregate of the expences for the mili tary and nasal establishments blsouldbe reduced to about 3,000,030 , . • . 12,500,000 . - . 3,000,060 of dollars, a Loan will be necessary to make up the deficiency. " That state of the.Trea. ury ," says Mr. Gallatin, in his s itepurt, 64 had been anticipated ; and, for that reason, an increase of. duties had been rospectfully-selonitted in the last :Annual Report. Bet should that measure be now adopted, it would not, on account of the terms of credit allowed for the payment of duties, super. sede the necessity of a loan for the service vf . the year 1810, commensurate with the extent of those establishments, and with the appropriatiops which may be made for their lie:Tort by Congress. No precise is suggested, since his, mast vary accord ing to the-plans which may beadopted its relation 1,9 foreign nations, end will partieitiarly depend on the decision of Congress, on the question of War or Peace. It is sufficient to state, that • if, ;the actual expenditure of the year 1810, for, all. military and nava) purposes, should he estimated at the sane sum which was disbitritalby the Tries. . miry for these objects during the year ending • the 30th Sept. .1809, and exceeding, as attar* 4tated, six millions of dollars, the deficiency, ac. cording to the preceding estimates, would amount to three millions ; on which supposition it would seem prudent, in order to provide against any de ,ficiency in the receipts, beyond what has been estimated, to .anthorise• a loan' of four mil.: lions of dollars. litt the event of war, the ' necessity of rendering it efficient, and •of calling fur that purpose into action all the resources of. the country, is too obvious to require any come' 'anent. Ott that su'Aject nothing will at 'this time ' be added by this department to the suggestions respectfully submitted in the 'two preceding An. nual Reports. Loans .reimbursable by instal. mitts, and at fixed periods, after As return of peace, must constitute the principal resources for defraying the extraordinary expeuces of the war.l Fur the supp'ort of piiblic credit, she basis on Which rests the practicability of obtaining -loans on reasonable terms, it appears accessary that the revenue should, in the mean while, be equal to ,the interest on the public debt, including that on the new loans, and to all the current etpences of Government, cakulated on a peace establishinent, 'or, for the' preseut, Co* about eight • millions of dollars. An immediate and considerable biennia(' of the existing duties will, it is 'believed, be do.l quisito for that purpose, in order to cover the re. 410ations which a maritime war....eatutt.-seementhlr prothiceln a revenue almost,ekclesively depending on commerce. That increasoappears preferable, in the present situation .thu Ui‘ited States, tat any other source of to ktiOa t atnd is not r in timo of war,' liable to the oklectien of its encotaraging smuggling. It is only in ilitrestint of that reve nue being still mere etiectediy a war than is ap„ pretended, that a resort to internal taxes, either direct or indirect, may become necessary.. 6 * If war should not be resorted to,,it does -not appear requisite, unless Congress should resolve on a permanent increase of the Military and Na. •ral Establishment in time of peace., to lay at pre. sent any additional duties *beyond a mere continn. ancc of the two and a half per Cent. knqwn ma w (ler the name of 66 Mediterranean !Fund.'-..1t has . already been stated that' an increase of the impost would nct sop* the deficiency which may take place in the year 1810, and exclusively of thesre.:* imbersement of the loan which may be *anted for the service of that year, all the national eapesices calculated on a peace establishment amid on the average of the actual expenditure, of the six years 1802 to 180, will not exceed ten millions of dol. _lato tqr tits year 1011, and ei4ltt Millions after *that yeir.t! , • " Whatever may be the decision of- Congress in other respects, there is a subject which seem* to require . immediate • attention.
