Letter from t'n Sen ctury of f/ie Ireasu
’ if, refecting the Public Debt.
Treasury Department, Teh. 27, 1807.
Sir—I have the honour to transmit
a statement of the public debt, on the
I first days of January 1801, 1802, 1803,
j 1804, 1805, 1800, and 1807, respcctive
| ly, together with sundry explanatory
I statements and notes, prepared in pur
suance of a resolution of the house of
representatives of the eighth of January
last.
It has not been practicable to com
plete before the adjournment of Con
gress, similar statements for the preced
ing years, but they will he prepared du
ring the recess. Quarterly statements
would have been attended with still more
considerable labour, in investigation, as
the accounts for several parts of the pub
lie debt are rendered only semi-annual
i ,, and hey are all settled annually.
It a; ' nrs from the statement here- **
v. 11 !> ci'UUSluU t ■ d, that the whole public
d '.-t oi ihe l tilled .Tates, unprov i icd
for on the days ,-mentioned, a
i i ‘i! s.ed n the following sums 'respec
tiv , chat is to say,

The total amount of payments of ti *»

have bet n,

in 1802, - 3,657,945 95
in 1803, - 5,627,565 42
in 1804, - 4,114,970 38
in 1805, - 6,588,879 84
in 1805, - 6,505,293 10.
and the iliilcia nee between
the anticipated provision
made on the 1st Jan. 1807,
and that v.hich had been
made on the 1st Jan. 1801,
is, as w ill appear by ihe
statement (C,)* * 445,439 AQF
Making altogether, 29,208,511 78
Which deducted from
the amount of debt on the
1st day of J an. 1801, 81,996,208 49
leaves a sum of 52,727,750 76
to which adding the debt
contracted by the purchase
ol Louisiana, 15,000,000
leaves the amount of debt
on the first ol Jan. lbt>7,
as ubo\ e stated, 07,727,756 76
1 he <K i>t lut5, therefore, din ing those
six years, and notwithstanding the addi •
lion made by tile porch ise ol Louisiana,
been diminished more than ,14200,000
dollars.
Although the amount stated for the
first Janutuv 1807, :s necessarily on esti
mate, and not Ijoin accounts actually
settled at the tr< usury, it is believed
not to ddler materially from the pre -
cisc amount.
