Tho grass amount of duties on imports and tonnage which seemed from the Ist of January.; to the 30 t h of September last, both days included, is eat i tt iat*l at 18A0,000 dollars, anti that of the whole year at 23,000,0 0 " 14r s' It is estimated that the amount of debentur es Lisued (hiring the tome period excred „, the amouot issued during the corresponding period of the year !cal, by Bo,ltoo ; and that the amount of debentures outstanding ou the 30th of septenin( r lust, chargeable upon the rcvmue of 1023, is 234,000 dollars, more than was on the same day in 1021 thargeable upon the revenue of 1022. It is estimated the value of domestic articles exported from the United states in the year ending on the 30th of September • 2,265,500 - 90,7;7,431 60 27,437 0 last, has amounted to 49,874,078 dollars, and that foreign artici,s exported during the same period linve amounted to 22,286,202 dollars. As the receipts from the customs in the year 1323 depend, Ist, upon the amount of duty bonds which become due within that year, after deducting the cxpences of collection, and th e . amount of' debentures chargeable upon them ; and, 2d, upon -such portion of the duties scented in the first and second quar ters of that year as are payable within the year ; it is manifest that an increase in the amount of debentures chargeable upon the revenue of the year 1823, or a diminution of the importa tions of foreign, merchandise during the two first quarters of that year, must necessarily diminish the receipts into the Trea sury. As debentures can be issued at any time within twelve months alter importation, chargeable upoir bonds given for the duties upon such importation, it is impossible to foresee the amount which ,may be chargeable upon the bonds that are pay able during the year 1823, The fats, however, which have been stated, justify the conchision, that the amount of deben tures which will be issued arid charged upon the revenue of 1823 will considerably exceed the amount which was charge able upon that of 11322. From the same facts, it is also pre sumed that the importations of the two first quarters of the 'Year 1823 will be less than the corresponding quarters of the present year.' iv in . due weight to all the facts connected with the subject, the reeei 'Aim year 1823 may be estiniatetint Dols. 21,100,090 viz • - 19,908,080' Public Lan& - 1,600,000 Bank Dividends - • . 350,000 Arrears of internal duties and di- rect, and i n Cid en tal receipts :To which Is to be added* e sum of Remaining in the Treasury, af ter satisfying the balances of appropriations, chargeable up: : on the revenue of 1822, which makes the entire means of the year 1823 amount to The expenditure of the year 1823 is estimated at - • .

But the fact is incontestable that the United States, have enjoyed a mo re un i nterrupte d prospe rity, and have incre ase d their capital to a greater relative ex tent, than any of the nations with whom they have maintained commercial intercourse. To show that the custoin.house document's cannot be consider , ed conclusive evidence in this case, it is proper to observe--Ist, that the value of articles paying duties ad valorem, imported into the United States, is ascertained by edding to the invoice value 20 per cent. if from beyond the Cape of flood Tope, and 10 per cent. from all other places; whilst the. value of domestic articles exported is ascertained at the port of shipment without any such addition. 2d, The greatest porti o n of the itriporta tins, and exportations are made in vessels of the United States. 37, The capital employed in the trade of the Noah-we s t Coast and the Pacific Ocean, consists almost exclusively of the labour end enterprise of those engaged in it. Foreign articles, the pro. testis of those enterprises, imported inte the United States, are, therefore, only equivalent to the labour and enterprise by which they were procured. 4th, The value :of domestic articles ex ported is more imperfectly ascertained than of foreign articles imported, because it has not been considered necessary to resort to the same sanctions to cnforce a compliance with the regula. done which have been prescribed for that purpose. To ricer.. tain the relative value of imports and exports, it is neceesary, —lst, That the same additions should be made to the Invoice value of the latter as are required by law to be made to the for. Inc.e 2a, The freight of domestic ankles exported in Ameri. can vessels should be added to their value, 4(n:rib:ducting from it the freight of foreign articles imported in foreign vessels. 3d; The value of foreign articles imported. in Vesaels engaged in the trade of the North-west Coast and .Paeitie Ocean, the pro. reeds of the labour and enterprise of those by whom they are i n n a l v po ieni sa te it tl e , s t tm a ti s l c i e l r b tai e : a w e h a a to t ad‘ilidtioirsstillocueix beas m . at t o te to lt til i e s value of tile domestic exports, un account of the, omission of the exporters to state correctly the value of articles exported by them ; but, after making a liberal allowance tar fonagn articles illicitly introduced. or inaccurntely invoiced, it is believed that a considerable addition should I.e made. If, then, to the amount of domestic articles exported. during the year ending on the 30th of September last, already esti. mated at 49,874,079 dollars, the additions should be made which the preceding facts and consideration§ appear to authorize, the value of our domestic exports during that period may be esti mated at nearly 60,000,000. Although no calculation has been completed,: showing the ave. rage rate of duty upon the value of. foreign :trades imported into the United States, it iv presumed that nn importation of 80,000,000 dollars of foreign merchandise will not produce a less revenue than 1.7,00,0u0 dollars. . die receipts from the customs' during the year 1823 have been estimated at 19,000,000 it is probable that the receipts from the same source, in 1024, which will depend upon th e importat i ons of 1023, will not exceed 15,000,000 dollars. Under the most unfavourable eircumstan. ces, it is believed that the receipts of that year will be sufficient to discharge all demands upon the treasury which may be au thorized by law. lithe current appropriations for the year 1825 shall be equal to those required by the estimates or the ensuing year, the 'ex penditure of that year may be estimated at 29,253,597 22 Viz.—Current appropriations 0,570,722 22 Permanent appropriations for arm ing the nuhtia, and Indian tut . ntotios _ Gradual increase of the navy .

It is probable, how ever, that the receipts may exe c , to a small extent, the ex penditures ; but there is at least an equal probability that the receipts for the year 11125 are estimated too high. in the year 1020, the expenditure, assuming the current appropriations to be the atone as in die year 1 82 s, may be estimated at 19,457,000 dollars, and the rectii,:s at 1 9,000,000 dollars. AS the uPPre priation of 4500,000 dollars tirr the gradual increase of the navy expires in that year, the annual expenditure may, fin subso quent years; be estimated at 19,000,000 dollars., unless it shall I>o considered expedient to make further provision for the in crease of that essential means of national defeoce. It is probable that the annual revenue ivill be equul to th a t 'sum, I,`o provide for the estiniattni deficit of the years - hitt% and 11126, well as to meet arty extritonlinary demands upon the Treasury, which unforeseen exigencies may require., it is be lieved to be eXPediatt , that tke ftverivre ineteaSed.— Thia May be conveniently erected by a judicious revision of the tariiF; which, while it will not prove Oat - t 643 to the consumes, will sitnplitY the labours of the saucers of the revenue.

The 'pro vision in the tariff, that the duty upon artieles composed; el various inaterials shell be regulated by the material of 'chief value of which it is composed, is prouuctive of 'frequent em barrassment andniuch inconvenience. It is. therefore respect fully submitted, that all articles composed of wool, cotton, flax, hemp, or silk, or of which any of these Materials is a com potte.nt part, be subject to a duty of 25 per cent. ad valorem: The eludes upon glass and, paper, upon him and lead; and upon all articles composed of the two latter materials, maY 4 1 , 0 be increased with a view to the augmentation of the revenue. -Lin all these cas e s, e xcept articles composed of silk, it •ie probable that the effect of the proposed augmentation of ditties will gradually had to an ample supply of those articles from Our, domestic manufactories. - It nr, however, prestnned, diet V revenue will continue to be augmented by the proposed altera tions in the teriffuntil the publicdebt shall have !teen redeemed afterwhich the public expenditure in time olpeace will be dimi nished to the extent of the sinking fund, which itpresent, 10,000,000 dollars. But if, contrary to preseatanticipattene, the proposed augmentation of duties should, before the publi.: debt be - redeemed, produce a diminution of the revenue arising from the importation of those articles, a corresponding, it not a greater, augmentation may be confidently expected upon other articles imported into the Uilited States. This ew e , piatirion'reets upon the twofold conviction, that foreign artleh'ne nearly equal to the value of the domestic exports will be im ported andeeenstnnedteeand ,thetk *• S' of Eklia t lttee.44e e e, classes of domestic articles fdr those of foreign natiotts,ifrtr only does not necessarily diminiah the value of domestic exports, but usually tends to increase.the value. The duties upon various other articles, not in any degree con netted with our domestic industry, may likewise !AS increased with a view to the augmentation of the public revenue. If the existing tariff shall, during the present simian of Congress, be judiciously revised for the purpose of augmenting the reveeue, it is confidently believed that it will not only be amply sufficient ete e defray all the demands upon the Treasury at present autho rized by law, but that there will remain an annual surplus, sub ject to such disposition, for the promotion of the public welfare, as the wisdom of Congress may direct. Under the Act of the 20th of April last, authorizing the ex change of certain portions of the public debt for five per cent. stock, 58,704 dollars, 77c. only have been exchanged. The increased demand for capital for the prosecution of commercial enterprises during the present year, and the rise in the rate of interest consequent upon that demand, which were not anti cipated at the time that the measure was proposed, have pre vented its execution. Existing circumstances do not authorize the conclusion, that a measure of this nature will be more sue. ceesful during the next year. .If the price of the public debt in 1825 should be as high as it is at present, any portion of it, re deemable at the pleasure of the government, which should be un f redeemed in that and subsequent years, after the application o the Sinking Fund to that object, may be advantageously ex changed fur stock redeemable at such periods as to give full operation to the sinking fund. This may be effected either directly by an exchange of stock, or indirectly by authorizing 3 loan to the amount of stock annually redeemable beyond the amount of the sinking find applicable to that object.
