POLI 11c,4L VIEW OF TILE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. • .1 • object on which to ripply the means at the ditioosal of the Commissioners. By the terms of the Loan sum* Conventioo. the redemption of this debt was to begin on the 21st of October. 1818 ; sod it was to be discharg e d in annual instalments of not leas than three tontine of dollars each. The debt then amounted is nearly lea million► of dollars ; and although the Convention would have been sata►Bed by the payment Of one-third. the provisions of the law, which required the Commissioners to apply as much of the ten millions, and of any monies in. the Treasury exceeding the appropriations by two Mil lions of dollars, as. by the conditions of the loan. could be applied, would net have been satisfied with that sum. The payment of at least one-half of the debt became, therefore, obligatory upon them. The instalment of the Louisiana debt, which the Commissioners dettrinired to pay off inOctoher last nominated to 4,977,950 dollars—of which 3.701,800 dollars was owned no Europe. The inateltnetat pay able next womb is 2,688.993 dollen •—of which nearly the same proportion i. owned abroad. The whole sum. hoe/ever, is payable in the United States ; and, if a part should be withdrawn from the country, by the foreign owners, whatever in convettieoce ntuy he produced by the transfer is chargeable to the law which permitted foreigners to own the debt, rind which prescribed the time of lay. menu—and not to the Secretary of the Treasury, who pays only what the law copal's. Respecting the pecuniary embarrassments, which the measure in question is supposed to have brought upon the country, it may not lie amiss to offer one observation. No charge was ever more utortatantled than that which attributes to the Secretary of the Treasury an indifference to the state of the times. It will be seen, by the records of Congress, that he more than once presented to the view of the Legislature the pressure lo t ion the community; and during the whole of his administration of the affairs of the Treasury. his endeavour has been to alleviate the distress. His conduct towards the publictlebtors, towards the Batik of the United State.. and towards the state batiks. affarits abundant evidence of the fact. As it respected the payment of the debt, his duty was imperative. All that he has done, was en joined by the laws; but, if any previous prepara tion were necessary, lies there been no cause of blame elsewhere ? Have the retrenchments required for the occasion beets made by the community itself? The Louisiana Convention has been sixteea years upon the striate book. It must, therefore, have been known to every one, that the first instalment of the Louisiana debt was payable on the 21st 'of October, 1818. It was equally well known, that this instalment could not be leas than three millions of dollars. And it was known by the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury, made to Congress nearly a year before the inrialinent was payabl!„ . that it would amount to nearly five millings of dollars. The measure, therefore, has not come upon the community by surprise ; amid. if due preparation has not been made to meet it. it is to themselves alone that they mast charge the came. queue... It is probable that no great evils have resulted, or will result, from these impotent.. As far as re spects that part of the debt which belonged to American citizens, the effect has been to die. engage so much of the in d capital of the cuuutry, which was before locked -up in a loam to the Government, and to make it active for other purposes; ■nd us to the foreign part of the debt. the incomreinence which was antici noted from withdrawing SO large r sum from the country has not occurred. The amount of the public debt of the United States owned abroad, was, on the lit of January. 1819, only five hun dred thousand dollars lea* than the amount on the let of January, 1818. Whence it may be inferred, that of the 3,701,800 dollars paid toff on the 21st of October, 1818, three millions of dollars were re-invested in Americau stocks before the close of the year. The reduction of the public debt has always been a primary object with the republican party. The mane policy is still adhered to. And to those who regard it as essential to the purity of our political tqstem, it will be gratifying to know. that during the administratiou of Mr. Monroe more than twen ty-live millions of the public debt have been extiu. guished. • This Matalmeet is redoeed below three willies•, by the purchases heretofore made of the LOY Walla debt by the Ceamedesioarre ante Making Feud. meat. from a survey by Captain Rims. of the I 10. colorable Company's Bombay Marine. which we shall have reduced to the rue of nor joae n al. engraved.

It was in this branch of the revenue that the greatest falling off was anticipated, owing to the disordered state of the currency in the principal part of the western country. Bat in pro portion to the difficulty which was apprehended, has been the care employed to obviate it ; and if, in this important branch of the national income, the receipts have not only not fallenlhort, but have exceeded the general expectation, it is. lii is great measure, to be attributed to the 'arrangements made by the Secretary of the Treasury for facilitating the means of payment by the purchases of lends. This accom• modation he has been able to afford with safety to the public. And, moreover, the measures adopted for that purpose have had a beneficial effect upon the money concern' of these parts of the Union in chided within their operation ; and, while they have tended to bring them to a sounder state, they have mitigated the evils to which they had exposed the whole western coontry.—The net sum paid into the Treasury during the last quarter, from the public lands, exceeded one steilliou one hundred thousand dollars !—besides a large amount of Miniasippi stock received for lands in Mississippi and Alabama.

Is the present conjuncture of our affair•, any cod. jectores respecting the future state of the revenue mutt be, necessarily. uncertain. It is hoped, however, that the causes which now affect it so un favourably will not increase. If this hope be well founded. it is probable that the receipts from the Customs. dining the whole of the year 1819, will approach the sum estimated by the S-cretrry ..r the Treasury ; while thane from the public lands have already almost doubled the amount estimated for the whole year. and will. perhaps. go on At nearly the same rate for the current six mouths. Indeed, there seems reason► to believe, that, notwithstanding all the adverse circumstances before alluded to, the revenue received into the Treasury during the pre. sent year will be sufficient to defray the whole ex• penchture of the year, besides paying off all the public debt. which, by the conditions of the re. spective loans, is now redeemable. Some observations have been made in various Papers or the United Slates respecting the pay. ment of the Louisiana Stock. These observatious have had reference wholly to the policy of that measure in the present circumstances of the count try. It is not, however. the sircan►dauces or the country, nor even the state of the Treasury, that the Consinieeioners of the Sinking Fund have to regard.

It was high time that we should have a settlement east of Malacca. as the Dutch are forcing •Il the native times and vessels to take port clearances from their ports to Malacca, and when they arrive there they are informed they hare nu leave to proceed further. We have to thank Sir Stamford Raffles for fixing on that grand and commanding position : with it and Aeheen we shall have a complete command of these Straits. Then. 'Nods of Chinese and Malays are flockong to the ancient capital of the Malay States. from Reho and Malacca. to reside under the mild government of Major Farquhar. 66 The place's where our flag is hoisted is in latitude 1. 16.
