From those it appears, that a sum of fifty mil lions six hundred and sixty-seven thousand four hundred and sixty-seven dollars and four cents has been paid into the treasury during that period, via. Front duties on tonnage and on the im port- Atitlll of foreign merchandise - 45,174,1137 42 Fro•n el other sattree (including 1,506,171 dollars and 43 tents, arising from tho sates of bank shares and of public ves.ols, - 5,492,629 St 50,667,4C7 04 And that the expenditures during the same pe riod. have amounted to forty-nine millions six hun dred and sixty-five thousand five hundred and twenty-seven dollars and fifty-six cents, which have been disbursed for the following purposes : 1 Less than one-third of the whole has been sufficient to defray all the current eapences of the United States, viz.

Nur one third was necessary to ray the interc.t on the public clzbt, vis. - 16;276,700 9b On which subjed it may not be improper to ob serve, that a part of that sum, amounting to 3,160,000 dollan, was paid on account of the in terest on the deferred stock ; a charge which cam menced only io the year 1801, and was therefore in addition to the annual sum wanted before that year, for the payment of interest on the public debt. S. More than one-third, and which may be con sidered as the surplus revenue of the United States, during that period, has been applied towards the reimbursement and eitinguishment of the debt, viz. On account of the principal of the public debt pauper - 16,917,463 92 bs payment of debts contracted before the Ist day of April, 1601, arising under the British Treaty, and under the French Convention of 30th Septem ber, 1200 - 2,963,79? 6) —19161,446 57 it is sufficiently evident, that, whilst one-third of the national revenue is necessarily absorbed by the payment of interest, a persevering application of the resources, afforded by seasons of peace and pros• perity, to the discharge of the principal, in the manner direlted by the Legislature, is the only eff,ffual made by which the United States can ul timately obtain the full command of their rev--nue, and the full disposal of all their resources. Every year produces a diminution of interest, and a po sitive increase •f revenue. Four years more will be sufficient to discharge .(in addition to the annual reimbursements on the sit per cent. and de ferred stocks) the remainder of the Dutch debt, and the whole of the eight per cent. navy ; six per cent. five and a hal per cent. and four and a half per cent. stocks. As the portion of the public debt which shall then remain unpaid will consist of the six per sent. deferred and Loui siana stocks, neither of which can be reimbursed, except at the periods and in the proportions fixed by contraa, and of the three per cent. stock, which it; law rate of interest will render ineligible to discharge at its nominal value ; the rapidity of the redu&ion of the debt, beyond the annual reimburse ments permitted by the contraas, will, after the year t Sq 9, depend on the price at which purchases may be ctreaccl. Aud, should circumstances ren der it eligible, a considerable.prittion of the revenue now appropilated fin that purpose, may then, in conformity with existing provisions, Le applied to other objeas. In the Molise of Representatives of the United States, on the :Bth last ; Mr. Morrow presented a petition, of a very intcrering nature, from Francis filessonier, a native of France, stating, that, from numerous experiments (MAJ.: bF him in the vicinity of Cincinnati, in the state of Ohin, he believes he will be able to cultivate the vitt: with complete suc cess ; that the experiments made have tinted in re sults equal to his moat sanguine expeflation; that he believes he will be able to supply wines of a quality equal to those of France, competent to the demand of the state, at ore-lou. th of the price of imported wines ; that the lever and agile,. so prevalent on the western water., is, in his oinnton, greatly owing to the 7bility of the people, from the exneritant price of wiues to consume it in conneaou'of the bark ; that he is cohAnced that the bottoms of 0::in are as favourable to the cultivation of the grape, as the hills of Prance; and soliciting either the grant, or the sale, on an extended credit, of seftion .29, in town ship No. 3, range 9, on !N. lad giver, a situation which he considers singularly favourable to a vineyard. The following intelligence. is said to have been received in town : "'That a body of eight hundred Indians had assembled near Detroit, on the British side of the Strait, and sent in a belt of rel and black wampum, to the Commanding Officer there. The militia have been called out, but it is feared that they arc not adequate to the exigency." Officers conversant with the Indians, say, that these colours of the beads, indicate determined war; an express has been forwarded to the seat of the ge neral government. NVe have to add, that the force at Detroit, which we apprehend was under Capt. M'Clary or Lieut. Starke, was very inconsiderable. Those officers have abed with a great deal of prudent circumspec tion. We have not heard which of the tribes have offered these preliminary menaces, but suppose them to be the Chippaway. It is worthy of re mark, that a considerable body of British troops have been, lately landed at Halifax, particularly the 98th regiment, from England. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, WIDULSDAY, FL,. 12. The Royal Assent was given, in the usual form, by commission, to the Malt Tax, and Place and Pension Duty Bills, and to the Bill for naturalizing John de Rickholme. The Lords Commissioners were, the Lord Chan cellor (first time of sitting as such), Earl Spencer. and Lord Walshigham. Mr. Whitbread, attended by several Members, brought sip from the Commons a Bill to indemnity all persons serving under Henry Lord Viscount Melville, as Treasurer of Isis Majesty's Navy, from and against all civil processes, to which they may be liable in consequence of the evidence they may give towards, or in the case of, the impeachment pending against the said Viscount Melville. Mr. Saville brought up a private Bill, which was forthwith read a first time. Lord Holland moved the first reading of the Impeachment Witnesses Indemnity Bill ; which being done accordingly, His Lordship moved, that the said Bill be printed.—Ordered. Several Orders, cn the motions of Lord Wal singharn, were made with respal to the heating, &c. of Appeal Causes ; and some private business disposed of. After which their Lordships adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr.- Rickman, _ regu lating the Officers of the House of Commons, pre. tented at the bar the certificate of the Commis sioners relative to the said aices. Ordered to lie on the table. Lord Henry Petty, and C. Long, Esq. took the oaths and their seats. Mr. Johnson, from the Office of the Chief Se. cratary for Iretind, pres^nted at the bar Returns from the Nlagistrates of the several counties in Ire land, pursuant to an order of the House ; and also an Account of the Disbursements and Receipts of the Commissioners for Public Accounts in that country. Sir J. NEWPORT rose and said, that is was true, the accounts just delivered in were very vo luminous, but, as they most intimately concerned the vital interests of Ireland, he hoped they would meet with the most serious attention and considera- from the Commissioners for lion of that House; and, in order that they mig ht be duly and fully investigated . he moved that they be printed. Ordered. Mr. J. FITZGERALD said, that the Bill, for leave to bring in which he was going to move, pur suant to his notice of yesterday, was nearly the same as that which passed last Sessions, and which had met with very general approbation throughout Ire. land ; the only difference was in a clause for more clearly ascertaining the rights of those who had rights of Common. He then moved, That leave be giszn to bring in a fill for the more et , par tition of Lands, subset to the lti:hts of Common, in asttiel. He also moved— That Copies of the Certificates of the Chiof Justice , of the King's !tench, and Common pica , , relative to dad re : s 414 Emoluments of the Patent Pace in the Couit •, in Ireland, pursuant to the Act of the 431 of the Ku, be laid before the House.—Ordered. The Impeachment Indemnity Bill, and Lady Nelson and Sir R. Szrachan's Annuity Bills, were severally read a third time, and pasiied. TAX BILLS. ... The Deputy Usher of the Black Rod appeared at the Bar, and summoned the House to attend the House of Lords, to hear the Royal Assent given by Commission to several pudlic and private Bills.— On their return, The SPEAKER informed the House that he had been in the House of Lords, and beard the Royal Assent given by Commission to the Malt Duty B. the Pension kc.

Friend of his, nut now in the House, but who would be there in the course of a few days, had expressed a wish to be present when the motion was made.

Adjt-urt. 1. THE BRITISH . PRESS. LON . 1)( :N, THURSO/It .Frisumer We have received a new set of Ne•.v.York Papers, to the s:h last, being the same date as then which we received on Saturday last. They contain an Official Report of the Revenue of the United States for the )eAr ending September .30th, 1805, and the Estimates for the year 1406 It appears from this financial statement, that the nett revenue arising from merchandise, in the year, ending in September last, was equal to that of any preceding year. It attributes its increase beyond that of !?:., the only year of European peace since 179 z, to the neutrality of the United States daring the continuance of the war in Europe. revenue arising from the sale of public lands, for the year endiag the 30th of S•ptember last, it adds, is greater than that of any preceding year, making, with other sources, an aggregate et more than eighteen millions of dollars. The cxpences of the year 1806, are estimated at 15,450,000 d,:ilars, so that the permanent revenues of the United States will, during the ensuing year. greatly exceed the expenditure. Extract of a Letter from Dominica, dated Dec. 21, 15.`5:—" Scarcely a day passes, without an English prize being carried into some of the Danish or Swedish Islands. Fourteen privateers (exclusive of those already cruising), from 14 to 18 guns each. are now fitting out at Guadaloupe, four of which have sailed to the windward of Hat badoes, for the purpose of intercepting the Cork fleet ; one at which, the Gr!larrt Scirrner, from Bristol, they have sent into Guadaloupe, and a very valuable Guinea man has, within these f.wr days, been carried into Sr. Martin's. The °Ned ‘if the French, in sendinz out the 5.000 men daily expected, is to strengthen their own islands, in the firs: instance, and, with the remaining, to take possession a the Swedish ani Danish Islandi, which will afford them the means of annnsing our trade, particularly our homeward bound convoy."
