Important State Paper.
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY, OF THE UNITED STATES. In obedience to the direction of the act supplemental to the act, intitled "An act to establish the Treasury Department," the Secretary of the Treasury respectfully submits the following REPORT AND ESTIMATES: THE net revenue arising from duties on merchandise and tonnage which accrued during the year 1806, amounted to Dollars 16,615,430. And that which accrued during the year 1807, amounted, as will appear by the statement (A) to 16,059,924. The same revenue, after deducting that portion which arose from the duty on salt and from the additional duties constituting the Mediterranean fund, amounted during the year 1806, to 14,848,784. And during the year 1807, to 14,375,855. But it is ascertained that the net revenue which accrued during the three first quarters of the year 1808, did not exceed eight millions of dollars, and is daily decreasing. The statement (B) exhibits in detail the several species of merchandise and other sources, from which that revenue was collected during the year 1807. It appears by the statement (C) that the sales of the public lands have, during the year ending on the 30th of September 1808, amounted to about 200,000 acres; and the payments by purchasers to near 550,000 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 only 2,335,000 dollars. But the payments from the treasury for the annual reimbursement of the six per cent. and deferred stocks, and for the final reimbursement of the 8 per cent. stock will (exclusive of a sum of 730,000 dollars already in the hands of the treasurer as agent for the commissioners of the sinking fund) amount, during the last quarter of this year, to 5,376,000 dollars. Making the total of public debt reimbursed from the 1st of April, 1801, to the 1st of January, 1809, about thirty-three millions six hundred thousand dollars, exclusively of more than six millions paid during the same period, in conformity with the provisions of the treaty and convention with Great Britain, and of the Louisiana convention. The public debt will, on the first day of January, 1809, amount to 26,647,603 dollars, consisting of the following items: Old six per cent. stock, nominal amount, 20,706,603 22, unredeemed dollars 11,919,877 57. Deferred stock, do. 11,717,476 92, do. 9,386,627 08. New six per cent stock exchanged at par for old six and deferred, 5,993,543 50.
Table with 2 columns: Description of stock, Amount. New six do. do. arising from conversion of three per cent stock at 65 per cent for 100 three per cent stock, 1,859,770 70. Three per cent stock, 80,000. Louisiana do. 11,250,000. Total six per cent stock, 40,489,618 25. Three per cent stock, 16,158,044 42. 56,647,663 27. The interest on the whole debt and the annual reimbursement on the six per cent and deferred stocks, will, for the ensuing year, amount to 4,226,000 dollars, leaving in order to complete the annual appropriation of 8,000,000 of dollars, a sum of 3,774,000 dollars, applicable to the reimbursement of the new exchanged six per cent stock. The whole of that and of the other new six per cent, arising from the conversion of three per cent. stock, amounting together to 7,853,000 dollars, would thus be reimbursed within two years. And after the first day of January 1810, the whole annual amount payable on account of interest and annual reimbursement, could not, during the seven ensuing years, exceed 3,756,000 dollars. But under existing circumstances, it is believed that the reimbursement of that new six per cent. stock will be nominal, and must be effected by incurring a new debt to an equal amount. The actual receipts into the treasury during the year ending on the 30th September, 1808, as they principally arose from the revenue accrued during the preceding year (and the payments on account of drawback having been diminished by the embargo) have been greater than those of any preceding year, and amounted to D. 17,952,419 99. And the specie in the treasury on the 1st October, 1807, amounted to 8,529,573 08. Making together 26,481,992 98.
Table with 2 columns: Description, Amount. The disbursements during the same period have amounted to D. 12,035,275 46, consisting of the following items: Civil department and miscellaneous expenses, dollars 1,258,967 18. Foreign intercourse and payment of American claims assumed by the Louisiana convention, 406,499 37. Military and Indian departments, including fortifications and the expenses of the new army, 3,022,759 55. Naval department, including the appropriation of dollars 677,064 47, to cover the deficit of the preceding year, 2,257,064 47. Public debt, principal and interest (the greater part of the payments for the year 1808, falling as already stated in the last quarter) have amounted only to 5,088,984 89. Leaving a balance in the treasury on 30th September, 1808, of 13,846,717 52. dollars 26,481,992 98.
Table with 2 columns: Description, Amount. The cash in the hands of collectors and receivers, and the outstanding revenue bonds which will almost altogether fall due prior to the 1st of January, 1810, may, after deducting the debentures yet unpaid, and the expenses of collection, be estimated to have amounted, on the 30th September, 1808, to 10,500,000. Making, together with the balance in the treasury on that day of 13,846,000. An aggregate of 24,346,000. Although the expenses of the present quarter cannot at present be precisely ascertained, they will not, including the reimbursement of 5,376,000 dollars, on account of the principal of the public debt, exceed 8,346,000. Leaving on the 1st day of January, 1809, a sum of 16,000,000. Sixteen millions of dollars in cash or bonds payable during the year 1809, and applicable to the expenses of that year. It is presumed that the receipts arising from importations and payments for lands subsequent to the 30th September, 1808, will not be greater than the deductions on account of bad debts and of the extension of credit on certain articles. The expenses of the year 1809, would, according to the appropriations already made, and to the usual annual estimates, amount to thirteen millions of dollars, consisting of the following items: 1. Civil list and miscellaneous expenses, 900,000. 2. Foreign intercourse, 200,000. 3. Grants by congress and other miscellaneous unforeseen demands, 150,000. 4. Military and Indian departments, 2,736,000. 5. Naval department, 1,014,000. 6. Annual appropriation for the public debt, 8,000,000. dollars 15,000,000. Leaving a surplus of only three millions of dollars for defraying all the expenses for fortifications, military stores, increase of the army and navy, or otherwise incident to a state of actual war or of preparations for war.
The annual appropriation on account of the public debt, amounting to eight millions, and the interest for the year 1809, being less than three millions of dollars; an authority to borrow five millions would only create a new debt equal to the principal of old debt reimbursed during that year, and appears sufficient to provide for any deficiency arising from the extraordinary expenses which may be thus authorised by congress. It thus appears, that notwithstanding the general warfare of the belligerent powers against neutral nations, and the consequent suspension of commerce which took place in the latter end of the year 1807, notwithstanding the increased rate of expenditure naturally arising from that state of things; the ordinary revenue will have been sufficient to defray all the expenses of the years 1808 and 1809, including for 1808 a reimbursement of debt exceeding six millions of dollars, and without making any addition to that debt in 1809. The measures necessary to be adopted in order to make a timely provision for the service of the ensuing years, depend on the course which the United States will pursue in relation to foreign aggressions. And that being yet unascertained, it becomes necessary to examine the several alternatives left to the choice of Congress. Either the navigation of the ocean will be abandoned by the United States; or it will be resumed. The first supposition is that of a continuance of the embargo of the vessels of the United States, and admits of two alternatives. 1. Either a provision generally forbidding exportations, may continue to make part of the system, in which case, importations, whether expressly interdicted or not, must for want of the means of payment, be also discontinued. 2. Or exportations and corresponding importations may be permitted in foreign vessels. The second supposition also offers two, and only two alternatives. It may indeed be admitted that the decrees of France can be enforced only in her own territories, and in those of her allies; that however efficient in preventing any commerce between the United States and herself, those decrees cannot materially affect that between her enemies and the United States, and may therefore in that respect be disregarded. But Great Britain having the means of enforcing her orders on the ocean, the navigation of that element cannot be resumed without encountering those orders; and they must either be submitted to or resisted. There can be no middle way between those two courses. 3. Either America must accept the portion of commerce allocated to her by the British edicts, and abandon all that is forbidden, (and it is not material whether this be done by legal provisions limiting the commerce of the United States to the permitted places) or, by acquiescing in the capture of vessels, stepping beyond the preferred bounds. 4. Or the nation must oppose force to the execution of the orders of England: and this, however done, and by whatever name called, will be war. Of those four alternatives, the second and third differ neither in principle, nor in their effect on the revenue. As both plans consist in permitting partial exportations and importations, it must be acknowledged, that objectionable as that course may be in other respects, if considered merely in relation to the fiscal concerns of the nation, it will for the moment be attended with less difficulty than either the present system or war. For however narrow the limits to which, on that plan, the exportations and importations of the United States may be reduced, yet there will still be some commerce, and some revenue arising from commerce. And as, in pursuing that humble path, means of defence will become unnecessary as there will be no occasion for either an army or a navy, it is believed that there would be no difficulty in reducing the public expenditure to a rate corresponding with the fragments of impost which might still be collected. If that course be adopted, no other provision seems necessary, than an immediate reduction of expenses. The system now in force, and war, however dissimilar in some respects, are both considered as resistance. Nor is it believed that their effect on national wealth and public revenue would be materially different. In either case a portion, and a portion only, of the national industry and capital, heretofore employed in the production, transportation, and exchange of agricultural products, or in foreign carrying trade, can immediately be diverted to other objects. In case of a continuance of the embargo and non-exportation, either a less quantity of commodities must be produced, or a portion will accumulate until the freedom of commerce shall be restored. In case of war that surplus will be exported; and although a part must be lost by capture, a portion of the returns will be received. If the embargo and suspension of commerce shall be continued, the revenue arising from commerce will, in a short time, entirely disappear. In case of war some part of that revenue will remain; but it will be absorbed by the increase of public expenditure. In either case, new resources, to an amount yet unascertained, will be resorted to. But the assertion, that that amount will be nearly the same to either of the two alternatives of embargo or war, is correct only on the supposition, that the embargo and non-exportation are, after a certain time, to be superseded by war, unless foreign aggressions shall cease; and that rendering, therefore, preparations for war necessary, they require a rate of expenditure far beyond that of a peace establishment. If, however, the embargo and non-intercourse are to have equal continuance with
the belligerent edicts, indefinite as that is; if it be determined to rely exclusively on that measure, and at all events not to risk a war on account of those aggressions, preparations for war will become useless, and the extraordinary expenses need not be incurred. In that case, the expenditure for the year 1809 ought not to exceed the sum of thirteen millions of dollars, which, as has been stated, is requisite for the support of the present establishment. And this would leave, for the service of the year 1810, the above-mentioned surplus of three millions, and the proposed loan of five millions, which, when paid, would be sufficient to defray the interest on the public debt during that year. Thus two years more would be provided for, without either increasing the public debt, or laying any new taxes. It is certainly only with a view to war, either immediate or contemplated, that it will become necessary to resort, at least to any considerable extent to extraordinary sources of supply. Legitimate resources can be derived only from loans or taxes: and the reasons which induce a belief, that loans should be principally relied on, in case of war, were stated in the annual report of last year. That opinion has been corroborated by every subsequent view which has been taken of the subject, as well as by the present situation of the country. The embargo has brought into, and kept in the United States, almost all the floating property of the nation. And whilst the depreciated value of domestic products increases the difficulty of raising a considerable revenue by internal taxes, at no former time has there been so much specie, so much redundant, unemployed capital, in the country. The high price of public stocks, and indeed of all species of stocks, the reduction of the public debt, the unimpaired credit of the general government, and the large amount of existing bank stock in the United States, leave no doubt of the practicability of obtaining the necessary loans on reasonable terms. The geographical situation of the United States, their history since the revolution, and above all, present events, remove every apprehension of frequent wars. It may therefore be confidently expected that a revenue derived solely from duties on importations, though necessarily impaired by war, will always be amply sufficient, during long intervals of peace, not only to defray current expenses, but also to reimburse the debt contracted during the few periods of war. No internal taxes, either direct or indirect, are therefore contemplated, even in the case of hostilities carried against the two great belligerent powers. Exclusively of the authority which must, from time to time, be given to borrow the sums required (always providing for the reimbursement of such loans within limited periods) and of a due economy in the several branches of expenditure, nothing more appears necessary than such modifications, and increase of the duties on importations, as are naturally suggested by existing circumstances. 1. Although importations have already considerably diminished, and may, under the system now in force, shortly be altogether discontinued, no reasonable objection is perceived against an increase of duties on such as may still take place. Had the duties been doubled on the 1st January, 1808, as was then suggested in case of war, the receipts into the treasury during that and the ensuing year, would have been increased nine or ten millions of dollars. Those articles of most universal consumption, on which an increase of duty would be inconvenient, are generally either free of duty or abundant. It is therefore proposed that not only the Mediterranean duties, which will expire on the 1st day of January next, should be continued, but that all the existing duties should be doubled on importations subsequent to that day. 2. The present system of drawbacks also appears susceptible of modifications. The propriety of continuing generally that provision of the embargo laws which allows a drawback on articles exported more than one year after they have been imported, is doubtful. A modification might check speculations and monopolies. The elimination of importations has afforded sufficient profits on most of the articles which had been imported: and a provision which would have a tendency to bring into market, and to lessen the price of those articles, would be generally beneficial. 3. The causes which induced the adoption of a partial non-importation act, have ceased to exist. The object then in view has merged into a far more important one. The selection of interdicted articles was founded on the possibility of obtaining them in other countries than England, and does not agree with existing circumstances. The act producing now no other effect than to increase the temptations, and to produce habits of smuggling, impairs and injures the revenue. A general non-intercourse with that country would supersede that partial measure, and might be executed with greater facility. And it is believed that, under every event, its repeal will be beneficial, and that a permanent increase of duties on articles selected with a view to those which may be manufactured in the United States, would be preferable. 4. It is believed that the present system of accountability of the military and naval establishments may be rendered more prompt and direct, and is susceptible of improvements which, without embarrassing the public service, will have a tendency more effectually to check any abuses by subordinate agents. Provisions to that effect are rendered more necessary by the probable increase of expense in those departments, All which is respectfully submitted. ALBERT GALLATIN, Secretary of the Treasury.

I know it is said that the people of the southern states are the enemies of foreign trade...
But the gentleman from Massachusetts warns us against a perseverance in the system of the embargo...
Sir, many of these observations have been made with extreme reluctance...
Sir, it is remarkable that we have been so gradually familiarized with British out-
rages, and have at length become so completely reconciled to the most extravagant excesses of them...
I know this measure of embargo has been condemned, loudly condemned, but only by men who propose to repeat themselves in power...
Sir, it is not to such a people as those, and I trust in God, a majority of the people of New England are very different...
If the embargo were raised to morrow, none would trade but men of desperate character...
Permission to arm is tantamount to a declaration of war, and the people of this country want peace...
friends are exalted. To such an event, deplorable as it would be, I could be reconciled if I believed the gentleman and his friends would govern in the true spirit of the constitution...
It would appear to me from the tenor of the argument of the gentleman from Massachusetts...
As to the embargo so much has been said both in and out of doors in its justification...
As to a declaration of war against France and G. Britain, and the policy of making it immediately...
One word before I sit down, as to what fell from the gentleman from N. York. He proposed to repeal the embargo in relation to Spain and Portugal...
MONDAY, December 19. A bill from the Senate authorizing the President of the United States to arm, man and fit out for service...
Mr. Dana presented a letter from the Society of United Brethren for propagating the Gospel...

Mr. Newton reported a "bill to deprive in certain cases vessels of their American character, and to prevent under certain difficulties any citizen of the U. S. from taking a license from any foreign power to navigate the ocean or trade with any other foreign and independent power."
The bill authorizing the President of the United States to employ an additional number of seamen and marines (2000) went through a committee of the whole.
FRIDAY, DEC. 23. Mr. Burwell offered the following resolution: Resolved, That it is expedient that a committee be appointed to enquire into the extent to which the article of salt is, or can be supplied from the salt establishments within the United States...
A message was received from the President, transmitting, agreeably to a resolution of the house, copies of all the acts, orders, and decrees of foreign governments violating neutral rights, issued since the year 1791...
Genuine Patriotism.
The town of Marblehead lies adjacent to the sea, and presents every facility which could induce its inhabitants, (were they so inclined) to violate the embargo laws...
MARBLEHEAD, DEC. 7, 1808. JOSEPH STORY, Esq. SIR.
Having heard that government intends employing some cutters and gun boats to prevent the evasions of the laws of the country, we with humility beg leave to suggest to you our opinion that on this coast (that is to say) from Cape Cod to Cape Sable, any cutters which government may send will not so well answer the purpose...
Herewith we transmit you the doings of the town.
With due respect, we remain Sir, your humble servants, W. STORY, NATHAN B. MARTIN, JOSEPH PEDRICK, Committee.
At a meeting of the freeholders and others, inhabitants of the town of Marblehead, legally convened in the town house in said town, on Tuesday the 7th day of December, 1808.
The following resolves being read, it was voted unanimously that they pass.
Resolved, That this town continues steadfast in the faith that the Embargo law was a law of wisdom, and the President and Congress of the United States are entitled and shall receive our warmest thanks for their early attention to the independence, liberty, and just rights of the union, and particularly of the commercial part thereof.
Resolved, That this town will use all the energy they possess to carry into full effect all laws the present Congress have or may enact for the support of our just and equal rights as an independent nation...
Voted, That a committee be appointed to transmit to Joseph Story, Esq. our representative in Congress, the doings of this meeting.
Voted, The above committee consist of the following persons, viz. captains William Story, Nathan B. Martin, and Joseph Pedrick. Attest, JOSHUA PAENISS, Town Clerk.
From paragraphs in several papers it would appear that the British Admiral Coffin is reconnoitring our country in disguise, and even taking minute surveys of our harbors, fortifications, &c. If Mr. Coffin don't take care, he'll get in a grave before he thinks of it! [Trenton Amer.]

State of New-Hampshire—Coos County. ALL persons interested take notice, that Samuel Halkins, late of Colebrook, State and county aforesaid, had a school tax legally assessed on him for the year 1809, in the sum of nineteen dollars, seventy three cents; also a school tax legally assessed for 1808, in the sum of twenty three dollars and seventy seven cents, making the sum of forty three dollars and fifty cents.
