BY the praise bestowed, from every

of that celebrated work are induced
once more to solicit the patronage of a
judicious and enlightened publick. Id

cured Ariosto the appellation of

amiss, to transcribe the opinions of a

celebrity as authors themselves, justly
entitle them to much respect.

An elegant edition of
ORLANDO FURIOSO :
CONDITIONS.
The work will be comprised in three
volumes, Octavo, to contain about
" He possesses all the elegance of
language ; his verses are strong and so
norous ; his descriptions admirable and
often sublime. Ariosto, whether se
rious or pleasant, is every where enter
taining, and preserves a degree of ma
jesty even in his pleasantry : he is the
only author that has found out the art
of blending the serious with the comic,
and the heroic with the familiar ; by
which means he is truly original, and
such an original, as no one has yet
successfully imitated."
The following is the summary of the
valuable opinion of that celebrated wit
and illustrious critick, Voltaire.
'' The Romance of Ariosto is so ex
tensive, so full of variety, so fruitful
in every kind of beauty, that after
having perused it, I have more than
once found my appetite excited to read
it again."
Gravina an Italian critick of great
taste and judgment, after a detail of
some of the author's peculiar and strik
ing beauties, concludes thus.
" But such is the power of Ariosto,
that while his work is perusing, almost
all his blemishes are lost in the multi
tude of his excellencies."
“ The ORLANDO FURIOSO
has a merit altogether unknown to the
writers of antiquity. The poet is,
by turns, moral, pleasant and gallant,
but never departing from truth and na
ture."

The President of the United States
addressed the following message to
both Houses, by Mr. Edward Coles,
his secretary:
To the Senate and House of
Representatives of the U. S.
I lay before Congress, and recom
mend to their early attention, a report
of the Secretary of State, from which
it will be seen that a very considera
ble demand, beyond the legal appro
priation, has been incurred for the
support of seamen distressed by seiz
ures in different ports of Europe, of
the vessels to which they belonged.
JAMES MADISON.
December 12th, 1810.
REPORT.
Department of State, December 11.
Sir—The funds which had been pro
vided by law for the relief and pro
tection of destitute American seamen
in foreign countries, have been this
year inadeqate to their contemplated
objeot by the extensive seizures of our
vessels in Europe, and the effect there
of on the situation of the crews. The
advances, which have been necessarily
made by our ministers and consuls a
iroad to supply the wants of those
seamen, and to procure them passages
to the United States, have greatly ex
ceeded the amount of these appropria
ted funds. Os those advances ac
counts, acquiring immediate reimburse
ment, have already been rendered to
he amount of 70,500 dollars, and it
is apprehended that others may yet be
received.
11TH CONGRESS::::::::3d session.
As these accounts cannot be paid
under an, existing law, it is respect
fully proposed to submit to the con
sideration of Congress the propriety
of passing a law, which will appro
priate a sum of money for the repay
ment of the advances of which accounts
have already been exhibited, and which
at the same time will provide for any
similar expences that they may have
occurred or may occur during the
ensuing year. With this view I have
the honor of laying before you the es
timate..
With sentiments of great respect
and consideration, I have the honor to
be, &c.

fraying moreover such expences of a
like nature as may be necessarily in

Adjourned to Monday.
IN obedience to the directions of
the act supplementary to the Act en
titled " An Act to establish the Treas
ury Department," the Secretary of the
Treasury respectfully submits the fol
lowing Report and Estimates :— >
REVENUE.
The nett revenue arising from du
ties on merchandize and tonnage which
accrued during the year 1808, amount
ed to Dols. 10,348,000
The nett revenue arising from the
the same sources, which accrued dur
ing the year 1809, amounted, as will
appear by the statement (A.) to
Dols. 6,527,000
The statement (B.) exhibits in de
tail the several species of merchandize
and other sources from which that rev
enue was derived during the year
1809.
It is ascertained that the nett reve
nue arising from the same duties, has
for the three first quarters of the year
1810, exceeded 7,500,000 dollars;
and it is believed that it will not, for
the whole year fall short of twelve
millions.
The sales of the public lands north
the River Ohio have, during the year
ending on the 30th of September, 1810,
as appears by the statement (C.) a
mounfed to 150,000 acres, and the
payments by purchasers to 610,000
dollars.
Mr. Secretary Gallatin communica
ted his annual report, which follows:
The same statement shows that the
total amount of sales, from the estab
lishment of land offices in the year
1800, to the 30th ofSeptember, 1810,
have amounted to 3,163,000 acres,
which have produced 6,681,000 dolls,
of which sum 1,646,000 dollars re
main due by, purchasers. The sales
in the Missisippi Territory,being (after
deducting expences)appropriated in the
Ist place so the payment of 1,250,000
dollars to the state of Georgia, are
distinctly stated.

Amounting together, as
will appear more in de
tail by the statement
(E.) to 11,058,7670

sury, on 30th of Sept.

^
14.517,797 13
It therefore appears that the actual
receipts into the Treasury have riot ex#
ceeded the current ex pences of govern
ment, including therein the interest od
'he debt by a sum of five hundred
housand dollars :—The expences had
during the proceeding year exceeded
the receipts by a sum of SI,3OO,(XXL
The difference arises, not from an in
crease in the receipts, but from d d;^
minuution in the expences, particulars
ly those of the military and naval de#
partmerits.
2. Last quarter of the year 1810.
The receipts for that quarter will, it
is believed, be more than sufficient to
defray the current expences and inters
est on the debt, accruing during the
same period. But the payments to be
made cm account of the principal of
the debt in order to complete the an
nual appropriation of eight millions of
dols.amounting to more thans, 100,000
of dollars, a loan first negotiated for
3,750,000, and afterwards reduced
to 2,750,000 dollars became necessary.
The receipts and disbursements for
that quarter are therefore estimated as
follows :
Receipts into the Treas
ury from the ordina
ry revenue 2,500,000
Proceeds of the loan re-.

Tire outstanding.revenue bonds, af

and a half of dollars; the actual re
ceipts for the tear 1811, on account
of the sale of lands, may be estimated
at five hundred thousand; ano it it
presumed that the portion of the reve
nue arising from importations subse
quent to the present year, which will
be recived in 1811, will be more than
sufficient to pay the debentures pay?

into the Treasury during that year
