COMMITTEE OF MANUFACTURES. Mr. Sawyer asked leave to lay upon the table the following resolution.
Resolved, That a standing committee be appointed to be called the committee of manufactures; whose duty it shall be to take into consideration all such petitions, matters and things touching the manufac- tures as shall be presented or shall or may come in question and be referred to them by the House, and to report from time to time their opinion thereon.

Violations of neutral Rights. —Mr. Troup submitted the following resolution to the consideration of the House:—
Resolved, That it is expedient to authorise the President by law to instruct the com- manders of the armed vessels of the U.

Britain and of the Emperor of France, bound to ports other than those within the dominion or colonies of either.
Resolved, That it is expedient further to authorise by law the detention of all ships or vessels with their cargoes the property of the subjects of the King of Great Britain until the duties to be regulated and ascertained by law shall be first levied and collected upon the goods and merchandise whereof the said ships or vessels shall be laden, and until the said ship or vessels shall have re- ceived due licence to depart.
Resolved, That it is expedient further to authorise by law the detention of all ships or vessels with their cargoes, the property of the subjects of the Emperor of France brought within the ports of the United States, there to abide the final decision or order of the government in relation to the same.
Resolved, That an ad-valorem duty be levied and collected on all goods, wares or merchandise of British product or man- ufacture.
Resolved, That it is expedient further to authorise the President to be paid on the duties authorised to be levied and collected on the goods laden on board vessels the pro- perty of the subjects of the King of Great Britain forthwith to grant a licence to such vessels to depart and to proceed to the port of original destination without further hin- drance or molestation.
The House having agreed to consider these resolutions—they were ordered to lie on the table.

Important Documents,
WHICH ACCOMPANIED THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE OF THE 29TH ULT.
[Continued.]
Mr. Oakley, his majesty's secretary of legation, is desired by Mr. Jackson to state to the secretary of state, that as Mr. Jackson has been already once most grossly insulted by the inhabitants of the town of Hampton, in the un- provoked language of abuse held by them to several officers bearing the king's uniform, when those officers were themselves violently assaulted and put in imminent danger; he con- ceives it to be indispensable to the safe- ty of himself, of the gentleman attach- ed to his mission and of his family, du- ring the remainder of their stay in the United States, to be provided with special passports or safeguards from the American government. This is the more necessary, since some of the newspapers of the United States are daily using a language, whose only tendency can be to excite the people to commit violence upon Mr. Jackson's person. In consequence he requires the undermentioned names may be inserted in the document to be fur- nished him
Francis James Jackson; Mrs. Jackson; their three children; Charles Oakley, Esq. his majesty's secretary of legation; Mr. George Ottey, private secretary. Servants—Robert Clevering, Francis Mar- tin, William Attree, Charles Berroff, Richard Lowe, John Prince, John Lilly, James Wright, Amelia George, Mary Smith, Harriet Patten, Martha Wood, Frances Blacknell.
[Received at the department of state on the 11th November, 1809.]
Mr. OAKLEY is desired by Mr. Jackson to say to the secretary of state;
That Mr. Jackson has seen with much regret that facts, which it has been his duty to state in his official correspondence, have been deemed by the American Government to afford a sufficient motive for breaking off an important negotiation and putting an end to all communication whatever with the minister charged by his sove- reign with that negotiation so inter- esting to both nations and on one point of which an answer has not even been returned to an official and written overture.
One of the facts alluded to has been admitted by the Secretary of State himself in his letter of the 16th Oct. viz. that the three conditions forming the substance of Mr. Erskine's origi- nal instruction were submitted to him by that gentleman. The other, viz. that that instruction is the only one in which the conditions were prescribed to Mr. Erskine for the conclusion of an arrangement on the matter to which it related, is known to Mr. Jack- son by the instructions which he has himself received.
In stating these facts, and in adher- ing to them as his duty imperiously enjoined him to do, Mr. Jackson could not imagine that offence would be taken at it by the American govern- ment, as most certainly none could be intended on his part; but since he has been informed by the secretary of state that no farther communications will be received from him, he conceives that he has no alternative that is con- sistent with what is due to the King's dignity, but to withdraw altogether from the seat of the American govern- ment, and await the arrival of his majesty's commands upon the unlook- ed for turn which has thus been given to his affairs in this country.
Mr. Jackson means to make New- York the place of his residence. Washington 13th, November, 1809.
Mr. SMITH to Mr. PINNEY. Department of State November, 23. Sir,
My letters in the correspondence with Mr. Jackson already transmitted to you, sufficiently evince the disap- pointment that was felt, on finding that he had not been charged to make to this government, either the frank explanation or the liberal propositions.
State of New Hampshire, Strafford ff.

Wolfborough, Nov. 28. 1809.

In his zeal to vindicate his government, which the occasion manifestly requires. Instead of this obvious course of proceeding, it was in the outset perceived, that his object was to bring us to resume the subjects of the arrangement of April in a way that would imply that we were aware that the arrangement was not binding on his government, because made with a knowledge on our part that Mr. Erskine had no authority to make it, and thus to convert the responsibility of his government, for the disavowal into the reproach on this for its conduct in the transaction disavowed. In the first instance it was deemed best rather to repel his observations argumentatively than to meet them as an offensive insinuation. This forbearance had not the expected effect of restraining him from a repetition of the offence. And even on his further insinuations nothing more was done than to premonish him of the inadmissibility of so indecorous a course of proceeding. This also being without effect, nothing remained but the step finally taken. And there was the less hesitation in shutting the door to further opportunities for infesting insinuations, as the disclosure had made and the spirit of his discussions had so entirely shut it to the hope of any favourable result from his mission.
I will not dwell on his reluctance to give up the uncertainties of verbal for the precision of written discussion, nor on the manner or the time of his denial that he had given any room at all for a statement, which in order to guard against the misconceptions inherent in verbal conferences, I had placed before him in writing, with a request that he would point out any inaccuracies, and to which he did not then object otherwise than by intimating, that he could not have made the statement with the particular view which seemed to be supposed. Nor will I dwell on the various inuendos in which partial or inconsistent views of the subject have taken place of its real merits. But it may not be amiss to make some observations on the correspondence, as it relates to the justification of his government in having disavowed the act of his predecessor.
With respect to the Orders in Council the ground of the disavowal is the difference between the arrangement and the printed despatch of Mr. Canning to Mr. Erskine of the 23d of January. According to this despatch then the arrangement failed in three points.
1st. In not relinquishing the trade of the United States with enemies colonies.
With respect to this point it is not necessary at this time to discuss the right of that trade. It is sufficient to remark, 1st that as the trade is admitted to have become in the view of Great Britain, of little practical importance, why has it been made a ground of the disavowal, and especially, as important considerations only could upon principles of public law have justified a measure of so serious a character? 2d that as colonial trade is a subject so wise connected either with the Orders in Council or with the affair of the Chesapeake, why has it been permitted to frustrate an arrangement relating to these subjects? and to these only? 3d, that as this condition is allowed to have originated in a supposition that it would be agreeable to the American government, why has it been persisted in after the error was made known by the representation of Mr. Erskine to his government, that neither this nor the other conditions of the despatch of the 23d Jan. were attainable here?
2d. Another point in the despatch, and not in the arrangement, is, that the British navy might capture our trade to ports prohibited by the United States.
This condition too appears to have had its origin in a mistake of your meaning in a conversation with Mr. Canning, as noted by yourself, and in an inference thence deduced as to the disposition of this government. But this double mistake must have been brought to light in time to have been corrected in the new mission. In urging it, Mr. Canning has taken a ground, forbidden by those principles of decorum, which regulate and mark the proceedings of governments towards each other. In his despatch, the condition is stated to be for the purpose of securing the bonafide intention of America to prevent her citizens from trading with France and certain other powers. In other words, to secure a pledge to that effect against the mala fide intention of the United States. And this despatch too was authorized to be communicated in extent to the government of which such language was used. Might it not have been reasonably expected that such a condition and such observations would at least on such an occasion have been given up by a government willing to smooth the way to an amicable settlement of existing differences.
In his zeal to vindicate his government, Mr. Jackson too has attempted a gloss on this most extraordinary idea of calling on a foreign sovereignty, not indeed to make laws for us, but, what is equivalent in principle, to supply a supposed inability to execute them. He calls such an interposition of his government, not an execution of the law of congress but of a compact binding as a public law on both parties, and which both would have a common interest in seeing duly executed. On his own principles there ought to be a reciprocity, not only in the execution of the compact but in the obligation and interest resulting from it. Besides where there is a reciprocity in compacts between nations touching attributes of sovereignty, there is always as much of sovereignty gained as is parted with, so that there be no loss nor indignity on either side.
3d The remaining point in the despatch, not secured by the arrangement is that which required that whilst our prohibitory laws should be repealed as to Great Britain, they should be left in force as to France and the powers adopting or acting under her decrees.
This is the condition which alone properly belongs to the subject, and it is to be remarked in the first place, that the British project, of which this condition makes a part, contemplated two things in their nature incompossible; one, a repeal of the prohibitory acts as to Great Britain, without waiting for the conclusion of a regular treaty, the other, a pledge or engagement for their continuance as to other powers. Now, from the nature of our constitutions, which in this particular, ought to have been attended to by the British government, it is manifest that the executive authority could have given no such pledge, that the continuance of the prohibitory acts, being a subject of legislative consideration, could not have been provided for until the meeting of the legislature, and that the condition could not therefore but have failed either in the immediate renewal of commerce with Great Britain, or in the immediate engagement that it should not be renewed with France. The British government ought to have been acquainted with, and indeed ought to have been satisfied with the attainment of the important object of an immediate repeal of our prohibitory laws, and with the consideration, that the other object, not immediately attainable, was unnecessary at the time, because the prohibition as to France was then in force, and because there was every reason to inter not only from this fact, but from the spirit of the communications made from time to time, and from the overtures before submitted to the British government, that, without a repeal of the French decrees, our prohibitory laws would be continued in force against France, and especially, in the case of a repeal of the British orders, which would necessarily render a continuance of the French decrees doubly obnoxious.
But if on this head doubts could have been entertained, instead of rejecting the arrangement, ought not the repeating act on our part to have been met with a suspension at least of the orders in council, until it could have been seen whether the non-intercourse law would or would not have been continued against France. Such a suspension could not have given, in any point of view, more advantage to the United States, than was given to Great Britain by the repeal, which had taken place on their part.
If this reasonable course could not have been substituted for the disavowal, why was not a final disavowal suspended with a proposition, that the arrangement would be executed by Great Britain, in the event of a compliance on the part of the United States with the condition required as to France?
I am not unaware, you may be told, that the non-intercourse law of the United States did not extend to Holland, though so intimately connected with France, and so subservient to her decrees against neutral commerce.
It would not be improper on this occasion to observe that this objection can be less urged by Great Britain, as she has herself never in her alleged retaliations adhered to the principle on which they were founded.
Thus she has from the date of them, until very lately, directed them against the American trade even to Russia, although Russia had never adopted the French decrees, nor otherwise violated our neutral trade with Great Britain. So, in her order of April last, she has discriminated, not only between the countries devoted to France by the ties of blood, and other powers, but between Holland, Westphalia, and Naples, in enforcing her prohibitory order against the first, and not against the two last. Whilst, therefore, she finds it expedient to make these distinctions she ought to presume, that we too may perceive equal propriety in the distinctions we have made.
But it may be of more importance here to compare the British order in council of April last, with the arrangement of April, made by Mr. Erskine. I will thence be seen how little is the real difference and how trivial it is when compared to the extensive and serious consequences of the disavowal.
Under the order in council of April, all the ports of Europe, except France, including the kingdom of Italy and Holland with their dependencies, are opened to our commerce.
Under the arrangement of April combined with our act of non-intercourse all the ports of Europe, except France and her dependencies, including the kingdom of Italy, would have been opened to our commerce.
The difference then is reduced merely to Holland, and that again is reduced to the difference between a direct trade to the ports of Holland, and an indirect trade to Hol and through the neighbouring ports of Tonnigen, Hamburg, Bremen, and Emden.
Now as the injuring of the enemies of Great Britain is the only avowed object of her interdicting orders against our trade, let a computation be made of the effect which this difference between the order in council and the arrangement could possibly have in producing such an injury. And then let the question be candidly answered, whether laying aside all considerations of right and justice, sufficient inducements could have been found in that refusal for rejecting the arrangement and for producing the consequent embarrassments, as well to Great Britain, as to the United States.
It is necessary, as Mr. Jackson has stated to set bounds to a spirit of encroachment and universal dominion, which would bind all things to
its own standard, and to falsify by honorable and manly reliance an announcement that all Europe is submitting by degrees, the effort must be feeble indeed, which is to be found in the inconvenience accruing to the formidable foe from the operation of this order in council, and especially when we combine with it the strange phenomena of substituting for the lawful trade of the United States, a trade of British subjects, contrary to the laws of the adverse party, and amounting, without a special licence, in the eye of British law, to high treason.
Thus much for the orders in council. What has taken place with respect to the sale of the Chesapeake will equally engage your attention.
You will perceive, that throughout the early stages of the correspondence, this case was in some respects improperly confounded with, in others improperly separated from that of the orders in council; and particularly that pains had been taken by Mr. Jackson to substitute verbal and vague observations on the disavowal of this part of the arrangement for an explicit and formal explanation, such as was obviously due. It will be seen also that when finally brought to the point, he referred for a justification of the disavowal to the departure of Mr. Erskine from his instructions without specifying what those instructions were, and to a union of an expression in the arrangement, without giving to his meaning the distinctness prerequisite to a just reply.
It appears, however, that he lays great stress on the proposals enclosed in his letter of the 27th October, as at once indicating the departure of Mr. Erskine from his instructions and as containing the conditions on the basis of which he was ready to enter on an adjustment. And from a note from the Secretary of the British Legation, it appears that he has complained of not having received an answer to this proposal, as he had before complained that no answer had been given to his verbal disclosures on this head in his interviews with me.
With respect to his intimations in conversation, as they were preceded by no proper assignment of the reasons for not having executed the original adjustment, it cannot be necessary to remark that no such notice as he wished to obtain, could with any sort of propriety have been taken of them.
With respect to his written project, it will suffice to remark:
1st. That besides his reluctant and indistinct explanation of the disavowal of the original adjustment, he did not present his proposal until he had made such progress in his offensive insinuation, as made it proper to wait the issue of the reply about to be given to it, and that this issue had necessarily put a stop to further communications. 2d. That although he had given us to understand that the ordinary credentials, such alone as he had delivered could not bind his government in such a case, his proposal had neither been preceded by nor accompanied with the exhibition of other commission or full power; nor indeed, has he ever given sufficient reason to suppose that he had any such full power to exhibit in relation to this particular case. It is true that in his letter of the 23d October, he has stated an authority eventually to conclude a convention between the two countries. Without advertting to the ambiguity of the term eventually with the mark of emphasis attached to it, and to other uncertainties in the phraseology, it is clear that the authority referred to whatever it may be, is derived from instructions subject to his own direction, and not from a patent commission, such as might be properly called for. It is true also that in his letter of the 4th November, subsequent to his proposal, he says he was possessed of a full power in due form for the express purpose of concluding a treaty or convention.
But it still remains uncertain, whether by the treaty or convention to which it related, was not meant an eventual or provisional treaty on the general relations between the two countries without reference to the case of the Chesapeake. Certain it is, that the British government in former like cases, as will be seen by the adjustment of that part of the affair of Nootka Sound, which is analogous to this case, did not consider any such distinct full power as necessary; nor is there the slightest ground for supposing, that Mr. Erskine, although confessedly instructed to adjust this very case of the Chesapeake, was furnished with any authority distinct from his credential letter. That Mr. Jackson has any such commission is the less to be supposed, as it but barely possible, that possessing it he should not on some occasion, or in some form have used a language susceptible of no possible doubt on this point.
But proceeding to the proposal itself, it is to be kept in mind that the conditions forming its basis, are the very conditions for the deviating from which, Mr. Erskine's adjustment was disavowed. Mr. Jackson, if not on others, is on this point explicit. "I now add," says he, "that the deviation consisted in not recording in the official document, signed here, the abrogation of the president's proclamation of the 2d July, 1807, as well as the two references specified in the paper or memoranda, inclosed in my official letter to you on the 27th ult."
Considering then the conditions in the proposal as an ultimatum, in what light are we compelled to view such an attempt to repair the outrage committed on the frigate Chesapeake, and to heal the disappointment produced by a disavowal of a previous equitable reparation?
It is impossible on such an occasion not to recall the circumstances which constituted the character of the outrage to which such an ultimatum is now applied. A national ship, proceeding on an important service was watched by a superior naval force enjoying at the time the hospitality of our ports, was followed and scarcely out of our waters when she was, after an insulting summons, attacked in a hostile manner; and the ship so injured as to require expensive repairs, the expedition frustrated, a number of the crew killed and wounded, several carried into captivity, and one of them put to death under a military sentence. The three seamen, tho' American citizens, and therefore on every supposition detained as wrongfully, as the ship would have been detained, have notwithstanding remained in captivity between two and three years; and it may be added, after it has long ceased to be denied that they are American citizens.
Under these circumstances we are called upon to ransom the captives. 1st. By acknowledging that a precautionary proclamation, justified by events preceding the outrage, by the outrage itself, and by what immediately followed it was justifiable, and that a repeal of it was proper,
a condition precedent to a reparation for the outrage. And this requisition is repeated too, after such an acknowledgment had been uniformly affected by this government to be utterly inadmissible and what is particularly remarkable, at a time when the proclamation, as is well understood, was no longer in force. The occasion obviously invited a silent assumption of the existing fact, and this would have excluded the difficulty heretofore found to be insuperable.
2d. Throwing into complete oblivion the conduct of the officer and answerable for the murderous transaction, with a knowledge too on our part, that instead of being punished or even brought to trial, he has been honored by his government with a new and more important command.
3d. By admitting a right on the part of Great Britain to claim a discharge from our service of defectors generally, and particularly of her natural born subjects without excepting such as had been naturalized in due form under the laws of the U. States.
It has not been explained, whether it was meant, as the universality of the term "defectors," would import, to include American citizens who might have left the British service. But what possible consideration could have induced the British government to expect that the United States could admit a principle that would deprive our naturalized citizens of the legal privileges, which they hold in common with their native fellow citizens. The British government ought not to have made such a proposition; because it not only, like others, naturalizes aliens, but in relation to the United States has even receded to discharge from the British service native citizens of the United States involuntarily detained. If an American seaman has resided in Great Britain, or has married therein, or has accepted a bounty in her naval service, his discharge therefrom on the regular application to the British government, has been invariably refused by its board of admiralty. This I state on the authority of the official reports made to this department. It is, therefore, truly astonishing, that with a knowledge of these facts, such a pretension should have been advanced at all, but above all, that it should have been made a fine quo non to an act of plain justice, already so long delayed. This is the more to be regretted, as the omen does not favor the belief we would willingly cherish, that no pre-determination exists in the councils of his Britannic Majesty irreconcilable to an amicable arrangement of an affair, which affecting to decency the honor of the United States, must precede a general regulation of the mutual interests of the two countries.
After the correspondence with Mr. Jackson was terminated, two notes, of which copies are herewith sent to you, were presented to me in the name and by the hand of Mr. Oakley the British Secretary of Legation.
The first requested a document, having the effect of a special passport or safe guard to Mr. Jackson and his family during their stay in the United States. As the laws of this country allow an unobstructed passage through every part of it, and with the law of nations, equality in force, protect public ministers and their families in all their privileges, such an application was regarded as somewhat singular. There was no hesitation, however, in furnishing a certificate of his public character, and to be used in a mode he might choose. But what surprised most was the reasons assigned for the application. The insult he alluded to was then for the first time brought to the knowledge of this government. It had, indeed, been among the rumors of the day, that some unbecoming feche had taken place at Norfolk or Hampton between some officers belonging to the Africaine and some of the inhabitants, and that it originated in the indifference of the former. No attention having been called for, and no enquiries made, the truth of the case is unknown. But it was never supposed that Mr. Jackson himself, who was on board the frigate, had been personally insulted. Nor is it yet perceived in what way he considers it as having happened. It is needless to remark that any representation on the subject would have instantly received every proper attention.
Another ground on which a protection was asked for, is the supposed tendency of the language of our newspapers to excite popular violence on Mr. Jackson's person. Had he been longer and better acquainted with the habits and spirit of the American people, he would probably never have entertained an apprehension of that sort. If he meant to animadvert on the free language of the newspapers, he might justly be reminded that our laws, as those of his country, set bounds to that freedom; that the freedom of British prints, however great with respect to public characters of the U. States, has never been a topic of complaint, and that supposing the latitude of the American Press to exceed that of Great Britain, the difference is infinitely less in this respect between the two, than between the British press and that of the other nations of Europe.
The second note seems to be essentially intended as a justification of the conduct of Mr. Jackson in that part of his correspondence which has given umbrage. If he intended it as a conciliatory advance, he ought not to have preceded it by a demand of passports, nor by the spirit or the manner in which that demand was made. He ought, in fact, if such was his object, to have substituted an explanation in the place of his reply to my premonitory letter. But whether he had one or other, or both of these objects in view, it was necessary for him to have done more than is attempted in this paper.
It never was objected to him that he had stated it as a fact that the three propositions in question had been submitted to me by Mr. Erskine, nor that he stated it, as made known to him by the instructions of Mr. Canning that the instruction to Mr. Erskine containing those three conditions was the only one from which his authority was derived to conclude an arrangement in the matter to which it related. The objection was that a knowledge of this refraction of the authority of Mr. Erskine was imputed to this government, and the repetition of the imputation even after it had been peremptorily disclaimed. This was so gross an attack on the honor and veracity of the government, as to forbid all further communications from him. Care was nevertheless taken at the same time to leave the door open for such as might be made through any other channel, however little the probability that any satisfactory communications would be received thro' any channel here.
To the other enclosures I add a printed copy of a paper purporting to be a circular letter from Mr. Jackson to the British consuls in the United States. This paper speaks for itself. As its contents entirely corre-
pond with the paper left referred to, as they were unnecessary for the ostensible object of the letter, which was to make known Mr. Jackson's change of residence, and as the paper was at once put into circulation, it can only be regarded as a virtual address to the American people of a representation previously addressed to their government—a procedure which cannot fail to be seen in its true light by his sovereign.
The objections, to which so much extent has been given in this letter, with those contained in the correspondence with Mr. Jackson, will make you fully acquainted with the conduct and the character he has developed, with the necessity of the step taken in refusing further communications from him, and with the grounds on which the President instructs you to request that he may be immediately recalled. You are particularly instructed at the same time in making these communications to do it in a manner that will leave no doubt of the undiminished desire of the United States to unite in all the means the best calculated to establish the relations of the two countries on the solid foundation of justice, of friendship and of mutual interests.
With great respect, &c. R. SMITH. William Pinkney, Esq., &c., &c. [Documents to be continued.]
Treasury Report.
Treasury Department, Dec. 7, 1809.
REPORT. In obedience to the directions of the act supplementary to the act entitled "An act to establish the treasury department," the secretary of the treasury respectfully submits the following report and estimates:
The duties of merchandise and tonnage which accrued during the year 1807, amounted after deducting the expenses of collection to Dolls. 26,116,648 From which deducting for debts and bounties on account of re-exportation 10,067,191 Left for the net revenue accrued during that year 16,059,457 The same duties during the year 1808, amounted after deducting the expense of collection, to 10,381,559 From which deducting for debts and bounties, &c. which, on account of the embargo, did not exceed 249,396 Leaves for the net revenue accrued during that year, as will appear by the statement (A) 10,132,163 The statement (B) exhibits in detail the several species of merchandise and other sources from which that revenue was collected during the year 1808; and the statement (A) gives a comparative view of the importations and re-exportations of the several species of merchandise for the years 1807 & 1808, showing thereby distinctly the effect of foreign aggressions and commercial restrictions on the importations of foreign articles. From the returns already received for the three first quarters of the preceding year and from the general knowledge of the importations made during the last two months, it is believed that the gross amount of duties on merchandise imported during the whole year, will after deducting the expenses of collection, amount to about ten millions dollars. But as the debentures issued on account of re-exportations (principally of colonial produce) will amount to about 3,500,000 dollars, the net revenue accrued during the year 1809 cannot be estimated at more than six millions and a half. It appears by the statement (C) that the sales of public lands, have during the year ending on the 30th Sept. 1809, amounted to 143,000 acres; and the payments by purchasers to 500,000 dollars. The proceeds of sales in the Mississippi Territory, being after deducting the surveying and other incidental expenses, appropriated in the first place to the payment of a sum of 1,250,000 dollars to the state of Georgia, are distinctly stated. It appears by the statement (D) that the payments on account of the principal of the public debt, have, during the same period, amounted to near 6,730,000 dollars, the reimbursement of the eight per cent stock having taken place on the first of January last. But the aggregate of payments on account of principal and interest will not for the two years 1808 and 1809 exceed the sum of 16 millions of dollars appropriated by law. The same statement shows that about 34,796,000 dollars of the principal of the debt have been reimbursed during the eight years and a half, commencing on the 1st of April, 1801, and ending on the 30th Sept. 1809; exclusively of more than six millions of dollars paid in conformity with the provisions of the convention with Great Britain and of the Louisiana convention. The actual receipts into the Treasury during the year ending on the 30th of Sept. 1809, have amounted to Dolls. 9,345,753 16 Making, together with the balance in the Treasury on the 1st of October, 1808, and amounting to 13,846,717 52 An aggregate of 23,162,470 68
The disbursements during the same year have consisted of the following items, viz.
Civil Department, including miscellaneous expenses, & those incident to the intercourse with foreign nations, 1,439,633 23 Military and naval establishments including the Indian Department, viz. Military, including arms and fortifications, 3,366,403 12 Navy, 2,379,267 80 Indian Department, 292,303 84 Interest on the public debt, 3,126,149 13 Reimbursement of principal of the public debt 6,729,777 53 Amounting together, as will appear more in detail by the statement (E) to 17,383,534 67 And leaving in the Treasury on the 30th of September, 1809, a balance of 5,828,936 01 23,162,470 68
Whence it appears that the expenses of government exclusive of the payments on account of the principal of the debt, have exceeded the actual receipts into the treasury by a sum of near 1,300,000 dollars; and that that deficiency, as well as the reimbursement of the principal of the debt, have been

paid out of the funds previously in the treasury, or in other words out of the surplus of the revenue of the preceding years.  The outstanding revenue bonds may, after deducting the expenses of collecting, and allowing for bad debts, be estimated to have amounted on the 30th of September, 1809, to Dolls. 7,500,000  The duties on the importations during the last quarter will not probably, after making a similar deduction fall short of 2,800,000  All those will fall due prior to the first day of January, 1811, and make, together with the balance in the treasury on the 30th September, 1809, and amounting as above stated to 5,800,000  An aggregate of 16,100,000  The expenses of the present quarter, tho' not yet precisely ascertained, will not probably including the payments on account of the public debt exceed 3,600,000  Leaving on the first day of January, 1810, a sum of 12,500,000
About twelve and a half millions of dollars in cash or bonds payable during the year 1810 and applicable to the expenses of that year. This estimate, however, is founded on the supposition that the amount of debenture payable in that year will not exceed two millions of dollars, and that the receipts during the year arising from importation subsequent to the first of January next, and from the sales of land, will be sufficient to pay those debentures and to leave at all times in the treasury at least one million of dollars.  Estimating the expenses of a civil nature, both domestic and foreign, for the year 1810, at the same amount actually expended for those objects during the preceding year, or at about 1,500,000  And adding thereto the annual appropriation of 8,000,000  For the publick debts; (of which sum about three millions seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars will be applied to the final reimbursement of the exchanged six per cent stock;) It follows that unless the aggregate of expenses for the military and naval establishments should be reduced to about 3,000,000  12,500,000
three millions of dollars, a loan will be necessary to make up the deficiency. That state of the treasury had been anticipated; and for that reason increase of duties had been respectfully submitted in the last annual report. But should that measure be now adopted, it would not, on account of the terms of credit allowed for the payment of duties, supercede the necessity of a loan for the service of the year 1810, commensurate with the extent of those establishments and with the appropriations which may be made for their support by congress. No precise sum is suggested, since this must vary according to the plans which may be adopted in relation to foreign nations, and will particularly depend on the decision of congress on the question of war or peace. It is sufficient that if the actual expenditure of the year 1810 for all military and naval purposes should be estimated at the same sum which was disbursed by the treasury for those objects during the year ending on the 30th September, 1809, exceeding as above stated six million of dollars, the deficiency according to the preceding estimates would amount to three millions; on which supposition it would seem prudent, in order to provide against any deficiency in the receipts beyond what has been estimated, to authorize a loan of four millions of dollars.
In the event of war the necessity of rendering it efficient, and of calling for that purpose into action all the resources of the country, is too obvious to require any comment. On that subject nothing will at this time be added by this department to the suggestions respectfully submitted in the two preceding annual reports — Loans reimbursable by instalments and at fixed periods after the return of peace, must constitute the principal resource for defraying the extraordinary expenses of the war. For the support of publick credit, the basis on which rests the practicability of obtaining loans on reasonable terms, it appears necessary that the revenue should, in the meanwhile, be equal to the interest on the publick debt, including that on the new loans, and to all the current expenses of government calculated on the peace establishment, or, for the present, to about eight millions of dollars. An immediate and considerable increase of the existing duties will, it is believed, be requisite for the purpose in order to cover defalcation which a maritime war must necessarily produce in a revenue almost exclusively depending on commerce. That increase appears preferable in the present situation of the United States to any other source of taxation, and is not, in time of war, liable to the objection of its encouraging smuggling. It is only in the event of that revenue being still more affected by a war than is apprehended, that a resort to internal taxes either direct or indirect may become necessary.
If war should not be resorted to it does not appear requisite unless congress should resolve on a permanent increase of the military and naval establishments in time of peace, to lay at present any additional duties, beyond a mere continuance of two and a half per cent known under the name of "Mediterranean fund." It has already been stated that an increase of the import would not supply the deficiency which may take place in the year 1810, and exclusively of the reimbursement of the loan which may be wanted for the service of that year, all the national expense calculated on a peace establishment and on an average of the actual expenditure of the six years 1804 to 1809, will not exceed ten millions of dollars for the year 1811, and eight millions after that year.
For the only portion of the existing debt which according to law it will be practicable after the year 1810 to reimburse, will exclusively of the annual reimbursement of the six per cent and deferred stocks, consist only of the converted six per cent stock, which amounts to less than two millions of dollars. The payments, on account of the annual appropriation of eight millions of dollars, for the debt cannot for that reason (except for the purpose of reimbursing the loan which may be wanted for the service
of the year 1810) much exceed six millions of dollars in the year 1811, and four millions of dollars annually after that year. The expenses for the year 1811 and the ensuing years may, therefore, if calculated on a peace establishment, be estimated as follows, viz.  Civil expenses, domestic and foreign, 1,500,000  Military and naval establishments (including the Indian department) calculated on the average of the actual expenditure for those objects during the six years, 1804—1809, as will appear by the statement (F) about 2,500,000  Interest on the public debt including the annual reimbursement on the six per cent and deferred stocks 4,100,000  Total of the annual expenses after the year 1811. 8,100,000  Reimbursement of the converted six per cent stock. 1,860,000  Total of expenses for the year 1811. Dolls. 9,960,000
Whatever may be the decision of congress, in other respects, there is a subject which seems to require immediate attention. The provisions adopted for the purpose of carrying into effect the nonintercourse with England and France, particularly as modified by the act of last session under an expectation that the orders in council of Great Britain had been revoked, are inefficient and altogether inapplicable to existing circumstances. It will be sufficient to observe that exportation by land is not forbidden, and that no bonds being required from vessels ostensibly employed in the coasting trade, nor any authority vested by law which will justify detention, those vessels daily sail for British ports, without any other remedy but the precarious mode of instituting prosecutions against the apparent owners. It is unnecessary, and it would be painful to dwell on all the effects of those violations of the laws. But without any allusion to the efficiency or political object of any system, and merely with a view to its execution, it is incumbent to state that from the experience of the two last years, a perfect conviction arises, that either the system of restriction partially abandoned must be reinstated in all its parts, and with all the provisions necessary for its strict and complete execution, or that all the restrictions, so far at least as they affect the commerce and navigation of the citizens of the United States, ought to be removed.
All which is respectfully submitted. ALBERT GALLATIN, Secretary of the Treasury. Treasury Department, Dec. 7th, 1809.
Portsmouth. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1809.  The Definitive Treaty of Peace between France and Austria has been received—but conceiving that the documents relating to our national concerns of higher importance we have given them precedence.  The interesting letter of Mr. Smith to Mr. Pinkney which we could not consent to divide, will excuse the omission of other matter to give it room.
At the present momentous crisis, we are often questioned, What is Congress doing? But we can yet give no satisfactory answer. Various conjectures are afloat as to the probable course that will be pursued. That now most current, states that
"The Committee of Foreign Relations have unanimously agreed to report—that it is expedient to remove all restrictions on commerce—and to prohibit by law the admission of British or French vessels into our harbors armed or unarmed."  This report is confirmed by last night's mail.  A letter from Washington, Dec. 16, says, "It is impossible to give any information what measures Congress will adopt at this important crisis. The opinions of gentlemen from the different parts of the union are very dissimilar, and no question of national consequence has yet been agitated, by which the minds of the House can be brought to a point. Mr. Giles's Resolutions were the order of the day for Thursday last, but have been postponed for further information—which was asked for from the federal side of the house. I hope the coming week will produce something."
The Grand Jury of New Castle county, Delaware, have presented James A. Bayard, a Senator, and Nicholas Van Dyke, the Representative from that State in the Congress of the United States, for neglecting to attend the duties of their station the present session.
The federal editors are far more indignant to find an honest man in their ranks, than at all the wrongs inflicted by Britain. At the first report of the late rupture with the British minister, several who affect to be the leaders, immediately declared in favor of Jackson—and vilified our own government for inflicting him.—They openly proclaimed, that should war result from that event the people would join with Britain. Although this clearly develops their wishes, we know it to be a most infamous libel on our citizens. Where is the American, ready to dip his sword in the blood of his countrymen, in vindication of foreign tyranny? A few such may be found among the desperate incendiaries which peace has engendered among us; but should war ensue they would be insignificant, as justice might then boldly claim its victims, and vengeance purge the land of traitors. Though their attempts to disturb the public tranquility, have hitherto proved abortive, their perseverance may produce a tempest of fearful destruction.
When the particulars of Jackson's insult to our government were first made known, Maj. Jackson, editor of the Political Register , and Mr. Relf, editor of the Philadelphia Gazette , had the honesty and independence to take the side of their country. Their remarks on the subject were given in our paper of the 24th inst. We believe they have not yet asked the pardon of their federal brethren, for deserting the cause of Britain in this exigency, as Coleman, the field marshal, and Park, the drill sergeant under the Copenhagen negotiator, have noted the defection of Messrs. Jackson and Relf.
The Repository thus compliments Major Jackson (for we deem it as honorable to receive the censure of Park, as it would be disgraceful to meet his approbation.)  "The editor of the Philadelphia Political Register is floundering as usual on great questions; dashing away in seas of his own fancies, which evince both a want of political knowledge and common judgement."  There is a most substantial reason why Major Jackson is no favorite with the apologists and tools of the British Minister:—Major Jackson was an honorable officer in the American revolutionary army. He contributed his aid to break the iron bondage from our necks which British tyranny had imposed—to pluck the brightest gem from the British crown. No wonder then he is viewed by these choice spirits as a speckled bird amongst them—as an intruder at whose honor every assassin has privilege to thrust his dagger.  Coleman, after declaring his coincidence with Park in support of the British minister, and tickling his elbow in return for a scratch on the back, pays a similar compliment to the Philadelphia editors:  "Messrs. Jackson and Relf are welcome to the honor of holding an opposite one, (an opposite opinion to his) that the conduct of the British minister was neither rude nor insulting, and they may if they please abandon their columns to the pens of the democrats."
State of New Hampshire, —Coos ss.
