A Summary of the value of articles exported from the United States, from the first of October 1798, to 30th September 1799: distinguishing the particular amount exported from each individual state, by which you are enabled to see the proportion which each state bears to the other, as relates to the extent of its commerce.
Value exported from New-Hampshire, 361,789 Dollars.
   Massachusetts, 11,422,591   Vermont, 20,480   Rhode-Island, 1,055,273   Connecticut, 1,143,818   New-York, 18,719,527   New-Jersey, 9,722   Pennsylvania, 12,431,967   Delaware, 207,065   Maryland, 16,299,609   Virginia, 6,292,986   North-Carolina, 485,921   South-Carolina, 8,729,015   Georgia, 1,396,759  
Total amount of exports for the year 1799, 78,665,522 dollars.
So that it appears the amount of exports for the year 1799, exceeds the amount of imports for the year 1798, the sum of 9,237,911 dollars.
The principal articles of produce and manufactures exported from the United States are as follows, beer, porter, cyder, beef, ship-bread, butter, corn, cheese, candles, coaches and other carriages, flour, salted fish, flax seed, ginseng, ham and bacon, raw hides, iron castings and other manufactured iron, lard, leather, rye, indian and buckwheat meals, spermaceti, whale and other oils, pork, rice, rosin, skins and furs, soap, snuff, tobacco, tar, turpentine, staves, shingles, hoops, boards, planks and timber for building.

I have been thus lengthy in making a sketch of the situation, the nature and extent of our trade, from a wish to give you a tolerable correct idea of our weight in the scale of national importance, and from a supposition that some account of this very interesting subject, might be pleasing not only to those engaged in commercial pursuits, but also to the farmers in general, whose interest is more or less connected with that of the Merchant.
I will now proceed to exhibit to your view, an estimate of the revenues and expenditures of the government of the United States, for the year 1800. And first of the expenditures as follows.
EXPENDITURES for the YEAR 1800
   Dollars.     Interest on the foreign debt due in Amsterdam and Antwerp. 911,121   Interest on the domestic funded debt, 3,402,369   Interest on stock purchased and transferred to the trustees of the sinking fund, 198,018   Interest and reimbursement of temporary domestic loans, 404,400   Expences of the civil list, 562,275   Payment of annuities and grants, 953   For the support of the mint establishment, 13,300   Expences of intercourse with foreign nations, 132,000   Expences incident to certain treaties 244,000   Sum, appropriated in consequence of the treaty with Algiers, 24,000   Expences incident to the valuation of dwelling houses and lands, 215,000   For the military establishment, 4,067,200   Annuities to Indians, 11,000   Expences of the navy establishment, 2,482,953   Payment of military pensions, 93,000   For the fabrication of cannon and arms and for the purchase of ammunition for the army, navy, and militia, 260,000   The sum unexpended the 1st October 1799, of the amount appropriated by the act of the 4th May 1798. 344,202   The sum granted by the act of July 6th, 1798, 400,000   For the support of light houses, 98,240   For miscellaneous claims, 34,000   For building six 74 gun ships as directed by the act of Congress of the 25th Feb. 1799. 700,000   And a further appropriation for the six 74 gun ships, 600,000   For satisfying various demands upon the treasury for which appropriations have already been made, 200,000   10,482,126  
Total estimated amount of expenditures for the year 1800.
15,393,034 dollars.
ESTIMATED Revenue for the year 1800, arising from the following sources, viz.
   Dollars.     From duties on imports and tonnage 7,000,000   From duties on domestic distilled spirits, and stills, sales at auction, licences for selling foreign spirits and wine by retail, duties on refined sugar, carriages and stamps, 800,000   For the direct tax, 1,200,000   From revenue of the postage of letters, 36,000   From fees on letters patent, 1,200   From dividends on bank stock, 61,040   From the proceeds of that part of the sinking fund, which consists of interest on the stock purchased or redeemed, and which is appropriated with other funds towards the reimbursement of the public debt, 193,018   Estimated amount of Revenue for 1800, 9,301,258   The monies which remained in the treasury on the 1st day of Jan. 1800, may be considered as a fund for defraying the expences above enumerated to the extent of 1,000,000   Leaving the balance to be provided for, of 5,091,775   15,393,034  
Of the above sum of 5,091,775 dollars which appears to be the balance left to

be provided for by special act of congress, it has been thought proper to save the following sums, out of this year's expence, By suspending all further enlistments in the 12 new regiments, 3,091,775 By suspending the building of the six 74 gun ships, 1,000,000 600,000

Dollars to be provided for by congress, and an act is passed authorising a loan to be taken up to the amount of three millions, five hundred thousand dollars.
NEW CONSTITUTION OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.
An Official Copy.
(Concluded from our last.)
CHAPTER V.
Of the Tribunal.
60. Every Communal Arrondissement shall have one or more Justices of the Peace, elected immediately by the Citizens, for three years.
Their principal duty consists in reconciling the Parties applying to them; and, in case of non-reconciliation, to decide their dispute by Arbitrators.
61. In civil matters there are Tribunals of First Instance, and Tribunal of Appeal. The law determines the organization of the one and the other; their competence and territory forming the jurisdiction of each.
62. In cases of crimes, to which are annexed a corporal or infamous punishment, a first Jury admits or rejects the charge. If it be admitted, a second Jury pronounces on the fact, and the Judges composing a Criminal Tribunal apply the punishment. Their judgment is without appeal.
63. The function of Public Accuser to a Criminal Tribunal, is filled by the Commissioner of Government.
64. The crimes which do not amount to corporal or infamous punishment, are tried before the Tribunals of correctional police.
65. There is for the whole Republic a Tribunal of Cassation, which pronounces on appeals against judgments in the dernier resort, given by the tribunals in cases referred from one tribunal to another, on account of lawful suspicion or the public safety, upon exceptions taken by the party against the whole Tribunal.
66. The Tribunal of Cassation does not inquire into the merits; but it reverses the judgment given on proceedings in which form it is violated, or which contain something contrary to the expressed law; but sends the case back to be tried, on the merits, by the Tribunal, which has cognizance of them.
67. The Judges who constitute the Tribunals of First Instance, and the Commissioners of Government established at the Tribunals, are taken from the Communal or Departmental List.
The Judges forming the Tribunals of Appeal, & the Commissioners placed with them, are taken from the Departmental List.
The Judges composing the Tribunals of Cassation, and Commissioners belonging to that Tribunal, are taken from the national list.
68. The Justices, except the Justice of Peace, remain in office for life, unless they should be condemned to forfeit their places, or should not be continued on the list of Eligibles corresponding with their Functions.
CHAP. VI.
Of the responsibility of Public Functionaries.
69. The functions of Members, whether of the Senate or of the Legislative Body, or of the Tribunate, and also those of the Consuls or Councillors of State, do not discharge them from responsibility.
70. Personal crimes, to which are annexed corporal or infamous punishment, committed by a Member either of the Senate, Tribunate, Legislative Body, or of the Council of State, are prosecuted before the ordinary Tribunals; after a deliberation of the body to which the person so charged belongs, has authorized such prosecution.
71. The Ministers arraigned, in their private capacity, of crimes to which are annexed corporal or infamous punishment, are considered as Members of the Council of State.
72. The Ministers are responsible: 1st, for every act of Government signed by them, and declared unconstitutional by the Senate; 2d, for the non-execution of the laws, and of the regulations of the Public Administration; 3d, for the particular orders which they have given, if these orders are contrary to the Constitution, the laws, and ordinances.
73. In the several cases of the preceding Article, the Tribunate denounces the Minister by an act on which the Legi-
lative Body deliberates in ordinary form, after having heard or summoned the person denounced. The Minister, placed in course of judgment, is tried by a High Court, without appeal or recourse, for a reversal.
The High Court is composed of Judges and Jurors. The Judges are chosen by the Tribunal of Cassation and from its bosom. The Jurors are chosen from the National List; the whole according to the forms prescribed by the laws.
74. The Judges, civil and criminal, for crimes relating to their Functions, are prosecuted before the Tribunals to which the Tribunal of Cassation sends them after having annulled their acts.
75. The Agents of Government, other than the Ministers, cannot be prosecuted for acts relating to their Functions, but by virtue of a decision of the Council of State; in this case the prosecution is carried on before the ordinary Tribunals.
CHAP. VII.
General Dispositions.
76. The house of every person inhabiting the French territory is an inviolable asylum.
During the night, no person has a right to enter it, except in case of fire, or inundation, at the request of the person within.
In the day, one may enter it for the special purpose, determined either by the Law, or an order emanating from a Public Authority.
77. In order that the act which ordains the arrest of a person may be executed, it is necessary; 1st, that it express, in form, the causes for such arrest, and the Law in execution of which it is ordered; 2dly, that it issues from a Functionary to whom the Law has formerly given power; 3dly, that it be notified to the person arrested and a copy of it left with him.
78. No Keeper or Gaoler can receive or detain any person, without having first transcribed on his Register the act ordering his arrest. This act must be a Mandate, given in the forms prescribed by the preceding Article, or a Warrant for taking the body, or a decree of accusation, or a judgment.
79. Every Keeper or Gaoler is bound, without any order being able to dispense with it, to represent the person in custody to the Civil officer having the police of the house of detention, whenever this Officer shall demand such account.
80. A representation of a person in custody shall not be refused to his parents and friends carrying an order from the civil officer, who shall be obliged always to grant it unless the keeper or gaoler produces an order of a judge to keep the prisoner secret.
81. All those who not being vested by the law with the power of arresting shall give, sign, or execute the arrest of any person whatever; all those, who even in the case of arrest authorised by law, shall receive or detain the person arrested in a place of confinement not publicly and legally designated as such; and all keepers or gaolers who shall act contrary to the dispositions of the three preceding articles, shall be guilty of arbitrary detention.
82. All severities used in arrest, detentions; or executions other than those commanded by the laws, are crimes.
83. Every person has a right of addressing private petitions to every constituted authority, and particularly to the tribunate.
84. The public force is necessarily in a state of obedience; no armed body can deliberate.
85. Military crimes are subjected to special tribunals and particular forms of judgment.
86. The French nation declares that it will grant pensions to all the military wounded in defence of their country, and also to the widows and children of such military as have died on the field of battle, or in consequence of their wounds.
87. It shall decree national rewards to the warriors, who shall have rendered distinguishing service in fighting for the Republic.
88. A constituted body cannot deliberate except in a sitting, at which two thirds of its members, at least, are present.
89. A national institute is charged with receiving discoveries, & perfecting the arts and sciences.
90. A committee of national comptabilité regulates and varies the accounts
of the receipts and expences of the republic. This committee is composed of seven members, chosen by the Senate from the national list.
91. The regiment of the French colonies is determined by special laws.
92. In case of the revolt of an armed body, or of troubles which menace the safety of the state, the law may suspend in the places and for the time it determines, the empire of the constitution.
The suspension may be provisionally declared in the same cases, by an arrest of Government, the legislative body not being sitting, provided this body be convened at a very short term by an article of the same arrest.
93. The French nation declares, that in no case will it suffer the return of the French who, having abandoned their country since 1789, are not comprised in the exceptions contained in the laws against emigrants. It interdicts every new exception on this point.
The property of emigrants irrevocably belongs to the Republic.
94. The French nation declares that after a sale legally completed of national property whatever may be its origin, the lawful purchaser cannot be dispossessed, saving the right of third persons, if such there should be, claiming to be indemnified out of the public treasury.
95. The present constitution shall be offered forthwith, for the acceptance of the French People.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 7.
Sir Sidney Smith has made another unsuccessful attempt to land at Damietta. The French, who maintain a strong position there, have routed the Turks, who, it is said, have lost 3000 men in killed, wounded, missing and prisoners. Sir Sidney has since had another conference with the Grand Vizier, at his head quarters at Jaffa.
In consequence of the unfavourable accounts from Syria it was resolved that the English general Koehler, who is returned thither from the Dardanelles with the whole of his staff, shall proceed within a few days to the Grand Vizier's camp. The French general Kleber is near Gaza with 12,000 men, and it is said that he maintains a correspondence with persons of consequence, and even in the metropolis some are suspected. Every thing depends on the issue of a battle between the Grand Vizier and the French, and the former must prevent the latter from appearing again before Acre, which is said to be their intention.
The English and Russian ministers have frequent conferences with the Res Effendi. The ratifications of the treaty of defensive alliance between England and the Porte were exchanged previous to the audience which Lord Elgin had of the Grand Seignor.
This treaty, in its principal points, is similar to that concluded between Russia and the Porte last year. Among the 13 articles, of which it consists, one contains the promise of the Porte to continue the war with France, even after the delivery of Egypt from the hands of that power.
Germany.
VIENNA, Jan. 15.
As the period for opening the campaign approaches, the preparations for carrying it on with vigour are redoubled. Reinforcements for the army of the Rhine are continually arriving here, who after a stay of a few days to recover from the fatigues, continue their march for the armies with the utmost speed. In the same manner troops are marching for Italy, from the interior of Austria and Hungary.
The owners of houses in our suburbs have received orders, within the space of two days, to give in a list of all their male lodgers from 15 to 45 years of age, on pain of a fine of 300 florins. If they omit to state the names of any of their inmates, or report their age otherwise than what it is, they are also subject to heavy penalties.
The same plan will now likewise be adopted in the city.
General Klencau having received reinforcements from Gen. Hohenzollern, repulsed the French, and re-occupies his former position.
The English Ambassador, Lord Minto, is returned hither from Prague.

LONDON, Feb. 7.
A proclamation has been issued for a general fast, on Wednesday, the 12th of March.
Last night the Paris Journals to the 13th Pluviose, the second inst. inclusive, came to hand and this morning we received those of the 3d which were brought to Dover last night in a neutral vessel from Calais.
According to these Journals the warfare in the western department has been rather favorable to the Republicans. Several of the chiefs d'Autichamp, Chatillon and Bourmont have accepted terms of peace. Their troops have been disarmed and disbanded, but it seems that some difficulties have occurred in this, and that the men were not satisfied with their commanders. Bourmont had been attacked and severely beaten before he accepted terms. Several severe skirmishes have taken place in various quarters, with the division of M. M. Frotte and Georges, in which the Republicans claim the victory. In these the Chouans lost a great number of men. Upon the 25th of Jan. a very severe action was fought in which the Chouans first had the advantage, but the republicans being reinforced, put them to flight, after killing a great number of them. Georges is said to have been wounded. The greatest activity is now employed against those who are refractory. Brune has declared, that he will pursue them in every direction, from the plains to the mountains, through woods and morasses, till he compels them to surrender; but it is much easier to talk of pursuing than to execute it to any good purpose, where the ground is so unfavorable. On this subject the following paragraph from one of the Journals may be offered as a proof, that the minds of the Parisians are far from being satisfied with the official account of affairs in Brittany:
"Several citizens ask us the reason why public papers, while they announce the pacification of the insurgent departments, are every day publishing accounts of battles fought, and victories gained in that part of the Republic? We shall observe to them in reply, that the pacification has not been every where extended, that the malcontents have been joined by a great number of robbers, assassins and banditti, who must be either dispersed or exterminated; that the example of the chiefs who submit, is not always immediately followed by all the bodies which they command, and that general peace in these unhappy districts can be the work only of force, prudence, negotiations and time."
Lord Grenville's refusal of the second offer of the French government to enter on negotiation for peace, appears in these papers. As might be expected, it is treated with much acrimony by the journalists. How could it be otherwise? In its nature it was calculated to unite all the parties in France, and to inspire them with one sentiment of animosity, hatred and revenge against Britain.
A letter from Ratisbon dated 27th Nov. states, that the Emperor Paul had written to the Archduke Charles a letter in which, after bestowing upon him the most flattering compliments, he assures him, that when military operations are resumed, they will receive the most energetic support from his army.
At Rome some disturbances have taken place on account of the scarcity of bread, but they were in daily expectation of supplies from the Neapolitan ports.
The Russians which were to have been embarked at Naples for Malta, have received orders to remain there. The inhabitants of Malta, it is said, have considerably abated in their ardor against the French, as they have not received the promised supply of men and provisions.

NEW-YORK, April 10.
Yesterday arrived the British Packet Earl Gower, Captain Deake, in 54 days from Falmouth—the latest London Papers brought by her are to the 8th of February inclusive.
A SUMMARY.
Of late European news, received by the British Packet Earl Gower.
The English government had received dispatches from James Saumares, at Jersey, containing accounts of two engagements between the Chouans and Republicans, which terminated in favor of the former.
That hostilities had commenced between Pashwan Oglou and the Bashiaw of Belgrade.

That the committee of the States of Wirttemberg, whose meeting was lately dissolved by the Duke, had laid their complaints before the public in a pamphlet—That Paris accounts to the 2d of February stated that the warfare in the western departments has been rather favourable to the republicans—Several of the chiefs have accepted terms of peace—the troops disarmed and disbanded—The Paris papers also state, that on the 25th of January a severe engagement took place between the Chouans and the Republicans, which terminated in favor of the latter.
Mr. Wallace in the British House of Commons, Feb. 7, called the recollection of the house to the vote for the navy last year.—There was then voted 120,000 seamen, but from the alteration of circumstances since that time, particularly by the surrender of the Dutch fleet, it was deemed prudent to reduce the allowance this year 10,000 men. He should therefore move it as a resolution of the committee, that 110,000 men should be employed for the service of the navy for the year 1800, including 22,000 marines.
That Lord Grenville's refusal to treat with the French, was spoken of with much acrimony by the Paris Journalists.
That a quarrel has taken place between Mr. Windham, the British minister, and the commander of the Austrian troops in Tuscany in consequence of the disbandment of the peasants, contrary to the wish of Mr. Windham.
That Cadiz and St. Lucar have been officially declared in a state of blockade by Lord Keith.
That the long expected revolution in Switzerland had taken place on the 7th of Jan. the five directors displaced and the Executive power entrusted to a provisional government.
That Mamain so detestable for the assassination of the princes of Lambelle, has been arrested.
That on the 5th of Feb. 400 vessels under convoy, failed from Portsmouth, for different parts of the world.
That on the 3d, the American West-India and Lisbon Packets for January, were detained by contrary winds.
That at a late meeting of the Whig Club Mr. Fox was toasted with unbounded testimonies of regard.

IMPORTANT.
This morning arrived the ship Reserve, Cap. Marscalk, in 56 days from Cadiz—consigned to Scott and Seamen.

April 4th lat. 34. 45. long. 67, spoke the Schooner Mary & Eliza, from Boston, bound to Havannah, out 7 days, all well.
Captain Marscalk saw a letter just before he sailed, from Consul at Algiers, to the Consul at Cadiz, informing him that in consequence of the Bey of Tunis not receiving the presents promised that nation by our government, he was about, or actually had given orders to his cruisers to capture all American vessels that might come within their reach. This information was made public by the consul at Cadiz that our vessels might be on their guard.
Captain M. brought dispatches from Mr. Yznardi, to the Secretary of State. Most probable these dispatches are on the subject abovenoted.

BY LAST EVENING'S MAIL.
PARIS, January 25.
THE ARMIES.
Letters from Genoa of the 12th inst. state, that the Austrians, after having assembled a considerable force at Novi, made a fresh attempt to force the passage of the Bochetta, but were repulsed with loss. The French have pushed their advanced posts as far as the heights of Novi. Buonaparte, says the Publiciste, has written to the Emperor of Germany a letter similar to that which he addressed to the King of England, but no answer has as yet been received.
Buonaparte has traced a plan of the campaign for the spring, which will necessarily bring with it a peace. Troops are already disposing to strike a great blow.
January 26.
The French army changes its position in Switzerland. The fortifications of Zurich are demolished: from whence it is supposed the French are going to the Aar, where they will find less difficulty in procuring subsistence.
FRANKFORT, January 16.
The number of troops detached from the army of the Archduke Charles to repair to the army of Italy is estimated at 15,000 men. It is reported that 40,000 Russians have passed the Bog, to join the army of Sawarow.
January 17.
For these twelve days past we have been surrounded anew with Austrians and Mentz troops, and also a part of the Mentz levy.—These troops occupy, on one side, a line which extends upon the right bank of the Rhine, along the Nidda, and passes upon the left bank of Grossgerau.
BRUSSELS, Jan. 22.
The army of the Rhine is progressively reinforcing itself with troops coming from Holland, ci-devant Belgium, and the interior of France, as they successively reach their destination. It is in the act of being placed on the most imposing war footing; and every thing announces, that, conducted by such a General as Moreau, it will be able not only to resist the allied force, but even to compel them to renounce their projects. Gen. Moreau is employed in visiting the whole of his army, and reviewing the corps that compose it. He is expected immediately at the left wing, which extends from Spire to below Mentz. The forces concentra-
ted in that part are waiting only for the last order to effect the passage of the Rhine and totally disengage the fort of Cassel. However, this fort is abundantly supplied with provisions and stores from the left bank; in its environs several skirmishes of advanced posts have taken place, which have been attended only with the loss of some men on both sides.
ZURICH, Jan. 18.
Troops are daily passing by this city, and repairing beyond the Thur, from the side of St. Gall and Constance. There have been, it is said, within these few days, some engagements of advanced posts in the neighborhood of this latter city. The generals have a watchful eye on the projects of the Austrians, who are receiving very great reinforcements, and might be able to attempt the passage of the Rhine, if a point was left exposed.
GENOA, Jan. 12.
The Austrians have made a fresh attempt to force the line of Sorì, for the purpose of advancing against that city, but have been repulsed with very great loss, and the want of provisions has obliged them to abandon the Riviere du Levant. They have retired beyond Magra.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
SONG. By Mrs. RADCLIFFE.
Life's a varied, bright illusion, Joy and sorrow: light and shade; Turn from sorrow's dark suffusion, Catch the pleasures ere they fade.
Fancy paints with hues unreal, Smiles of bliss, and sorrow's mood; If they both are but ideal, Why reject the seeming good?
Hence! no more! 'tis wisdom calls ye, Bid ye court time's present aid; The future trust not: hope enthrals ye, Catch the pleasures ere they fade.
ANECDOTE.
An enthusiastic federalist conversing on commodore Truxton's victory, exulting- ly exclaimed, "Before ten years are over, nothing on earth will be able to resist the Americans at sea."
