REPORT Of the Secretary of the Treasury, laid before the House of Representatives on Tuesday the 25th ult. 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.  REPORTS & ESTIMATES.
The annual nett proceeds of the duties on merchandise and tonnage had in former reports, been estimated at nine millions five hundred thousand dollars. That estimated revenue, predicated on the importations of the years immediately preceding the late European war, and on the ascertained ratio of increase of the population of the United States, appears from the experience of the two last years, to have been under rated. The nett revenue arising from that source, which accrued during the year 1802, exceeds ten millions one hundred thousand dollars. The revenue which has accrued during the two first quarters of the present year, appears from the best estimate that can now be formed, to have been only fifty thousand dollars less than that of the two corresponding quarters of the year 1802; and the receipts in the Treasury, on account of the same duties, during the year ending on the 30th of September last, have exceeded ten millions six hundred thousand dollars.
Those facts, afford satisfactory evidence that the wealth of the United States increases in a still greater ratio than their population, and induces a belief that this branch of the public revenue may now be safely calculated at ten millions of dollars.
From the statement [A] it will appear that the same revenue for the two last years of the late European war (1801 and 1802) calculated at the present rate of duties, averaged 11, 600,000 dollars a year; but although it might with some degree of probability be supposed that the renewal of hostilities will again produce a similar increase, no inference from that period is drawn in this report in relation to the revenue of the ensuing years.
The statement [B] shews the several species of merchandise on which the duties on importations were collected during the year 1802; the portion of that revenue which was derived from drawbacks, and that which arose from the extra duty on merchandise imported in foreign vessels.
Although the sales of the public lands during the year ending the 30th day of September last were affected by the situation of the western country; two hundred thousand acres have been sold during that period; and as it appears from the statement [C.] that independent of future sales, the sums already paid to the receivers, together with those which, exclusively of interest, fall due during the three ensuing years, amount to 1,250,000 dollars, the annual revenue arising from the proceeds of those sales, cannot be estimated at less than four hundred thousand dollars.
The extension of post roads, and the acceleration of the mail, whilst diffusing and increasing the benefits of the institution, have as an object of revenue, rendered it less productive. The receipts from that source have amounted, during last year to 27,000 dollars; but as neither these nor those arising from some other smaller incidental branches, are of sufficient importance to affect any general result, the whole existing revenue of the United States will be computed at only ten millions four hundred thousand dollars.
The permanent annual expenses of government which, under existing laws, must be defrayed out of that revenue, amount to nine millions eight hundred thousand dollars; to wit. 1. The annual appropriation of 7,300,000 dollars, for the payment of the principal and interest of the debt; of which about three millions and an half are at present applicable to the discharge of the principal, and the residue to the payment of interest, dolls. 7,300,000 2. The current expenses of government which, according to the estimates for the year 1804, consists of the following items, viz. For the civil department and all domestic expenses of a civil nature 791,000 For expenses attending the intercourse with foreign nations, including the permanent appropriation for Algiers, and all other expenses relative to the Barbary powers, 134,000 For the military and Indian departments, 875,000 For the naval establishment, calculated on the supposition that 2 frigates and 4 smaller vessels shall be kept in commission, 650,000 2,500,000 9,800,000 And deducted from the permanent revenue
  due of 10,400,000   Leave a surplus revenue of, 600,000   Six hundred thousand dollars applicable to other objects.   The following extraordinary resources and demands not being of a permanent nature, are not included in that calculation, to wit:   The specie in the treasury, which, on the 30th day of September last, amounted to 5,860,000 dollars.   The arrears of the direct tax, estimated at 250,000   The outstanding internal duties, amounting to near 400,000   And the sum which will be repaid to the United States, on account of advances heretofore made in England for the prosecution of claims; estimated at 150,000   Constituting an aggregate of 6,660,000   More than six millions, six hundred thousand dollars, which, after reserving the sum which it is necessary to keep in the treasury, will be sufficient to discharge the demands due on account of the convention with Great Britain, and amounting to 2,564,000 dollars.   Sundry extraordinary expenses in relation to the conventions with France & Great Britain, estimated at 100,000   The loan obtained from the state of Maryland, for the City of Washington amounting to 200,000   And also to pay two millions, 2,000,000   4,964,000 dollars,   on account of the purchase of Louisiana; being the same sum which was reserved for the purposes contemplated by the law of the last session, appropriating that amount for the extraordinary expenses attending the intercourse with foreign nations.   It appears by the estimate [D] that during the year ending on the 30th September last, the payments from the treasury on account of the public debt, have amounted to dolls. 3,096,700   Which, together with the increase of specie in the treasury during the same period, amounting to 1,320,000   4,416,700   makes an actual difference in favour of the United States of more than four hundred thousand dollars during that year.   The payments on account of the principal of the public debt, from the first day of April, 1801, to the 30th day of September, 1803, have amounted, as appears by the estimate [E] to dolls. 9,924,004   The specie in the treasury, on the 1st day of April, 1801, amounted to 1,794,000   And on the 30th day of September, 1803 to 5,860,000   Making an increase of 4,066,000   Those two items constitute an aggregate of dolls. 13,990,004   From which deducting the extraordinary resource arising from the sales of the bank shares, which produced 1,287,600   Leaves for the amount of the true difference 12,702,404   in favour of the United States, for that period of two years and an half, a sum of twelve millions seven hundred thousand dollars.   From that view of the present situation of the financial concerns of the United States, it seems that the only question which requires consideration, whether any additional revenues are wanted in order to provide for the new debt, which if Congress shall pass the laws necessary to carry the treaty with France into effect, will result from the purchase of Louisiana.   The sum which the United States may have to pay, by virtue of that treaty, amounts to 5f. 
teen millions of dollars, and consists of two items—1st, 11,250,000 dollars payable to the government of France, or to its assignees, in a stock bearing interest at six per cent. payable in Europe, and the principal of which will be discharged at the Treasury of the United States, in four instalments, the first of which shall commence in the year 1813—2dly, a sum which cannot exceed but may fall short of 3,750,000 dollars, payable in specie, at the Treasury of the United States, during the course of the ensuing year, to American citizens having claims of a certain description on the government of France.  It has already been stated that two millions of dollars may be paid from the specie now in the Treasury, on account of the last item; and the whole amount of the new debt which may be eventually created, cannot therefore exceed thirteen millions of dollars, the annual interest of which is equal to 780,000 dollars; but on account of commissions and variations of exchange will be estimated at eight hundred thousand dollars.  The existing surplus revenue of the United States will, as has been stated, be sufficient to discharge six hundred thousand dollars of that sum, and it is expected that the nett revenue collected at New Orleans will be equal to the remaining two hundred thousand dollars.  That opinion rests on the supposition that Congress shall place that port on the same footing as those of the United States; so that the same duties shall be collected there on the importation of foreign merchandise as are now by law levied in the United States; and that no duties shall be collected either on the exportations of produce or merchandise from New Orleans to any other place; nor any articles imported into the United States from the ceded territories, or into those territories from the United States.  The statements F. G. H. exhibit the annual exports and imports of the United States to and from Florida and Louisiana, for the years 1799 to 1802; and the statement (G) particularly shews that the exportation from the Atlantic States to those colonies, of articles not of the growth, produce, or manufacture of the United States, amounted for the year 1799, 1800, and 1801, to 6,622,189 dollars; making an average of more than two millions two hundred thousand dollars, of foreign articles, liable to pay duty, annually imported into Florida and Louisiana from the United States alone.  It is ascertained that the exportations from the United States to Florida, are so trifling that that statement may be considered as applying solely to New Orleans; and it is also known that almost the whole of those importations were consumed within that colony, and that during the war the supplies from the United States constituted by far the greater part of its imports.  From thence it results that the annual importations into the ceded territory, of articles destined for the consumption of its own inhabitants, and which will under the revenue laws of the United States, be liable to pay duty, may safely be estimated at two millions five hundred thousand dollars: an amount which at the present rate of duties, will yield a revenue of about 350,000 dollars. From that revenue must be deducted 150,000 dollars, for the following items, viz. 1st. The amount of duties on a quantity of sugar and indigo equal to that which shall be imported from New Orleans into the United States; as those articles being imported free from duty, will diminish by so much the revenue now collected in the sea ports of the United States. The whole amount of sugar exported from New Orleans is less than 4,000,000 of pounds, and that of indigo is stated at about 30,000 pounds. Supposing (which on account of that exemption, is not improbable) that the whole of those articles should hereafter be exported to the United States the loss to the revenue will be about 100,000 dollars.  2d. No increase of expense in the military establishment of the United States, is contemplated on account of the acquisition of territory; but the expenses of the civil administration of the Province and those incident to the intercourse with the Indians, are estimated at 50,000 dollars; leaving for the nett revenue derived from the Province, and applicable to the payment of the interest of the new debt, 200,000 dollars as above stated.  The only provisions which, if that view of the subject be correct, appear necessary, and are respectfully submitted, are  I. In relation to the stock of 11,250,000 dollars to be created in favour of the government of France or of its assignees.  That the debt may be made a charge on the Sinking Fund, directing the commissioners of the fund to apply so much of its proceeds as may be necessary for the payment of interest and reimbursement or redemption of the principal, in the same manner as by the existing laws, they are directed to do in relation to the payment of interest and discharge of the principal of the debt now charged on that fund.  That so much of the duties on merchandise and tonnage as will be equal to seven hundred thousand dollars, being the sum wanted to pay the interest of the new stock, be added to the annual permanent appropriation for the Sinking Fund making together with the existing appropriation, eight million of dollars, annually applicable to the payment of the interest and principal of the public debt.  And that the said annual sum of eight millions of dollars remain thus pledged and be vested in the commissioners of the Sinking Fund in trust for the said payments, until the whole of the existing debt of the United States, and of the new stock, shall have been reimbursed or redeemed.

As a sum equal to the interest accruing on the new stock will thus be added to the sinking fund, the operation of that fund, as it relates to the extinguishment of the existing debt, will remain precisely on the same footing as has been heretofore provided by Congress. The new debt will neither impede nor retard the payment of the principal of the old debt; and the fund will be sufficient besides paying the interest on both, to discharge the principal of the old debt, before the year 1818, and that of the new within one year and a half after that year.
II. In relation to the American claims the payment of which is assumed by the convention with France:
That a sum not exceeding 3,750,000 dollars inclusive of the two millions appropriated by a law of the last session of Congress for defraying the extraordinary expenses incident to the intercourse with foreign nations, be appropriated for the payment of those claims, to be paid out of any monies in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated.
That for the purpose of effecting the whole of that payment, the President of the United States be authorized to borrow a sum not exceeding 1,750,000 dollars, at an interest not exceeding six per cent a year:
And that so much of the proceeds of the duties on merchandise and tonnage as may be necessary, be appropriated for the payment of the interest and for the reimbursement of the principal of the loan which may eventually be effected by virtue of the preceding provision.
It is not proposed to charge that loan on the sinking fund, because it's amount, in case it shall be effected, cannot at present be ascertained; and because it may, perhaps under the then existing circumstances of the Treasury, be found more expedient not to borrow the money, and in lieu of it, to pay out of the sinking fund the whole or part of the two last instalments payable by virtue of the Convention with Great Britain, as authorized by the act making provision for the payment of the whole of the public debt.
It is evident that the possibility of thus providing for the payment of the interest of a new debt of thirteen millions of dollars, without either recurring to new taxes or interfering with the provisions heretofore made for the payment of the existing debt, depends on the correctness of the estimate of the public Revenue which has been submitted. Although it is not without diffidence that the hope of such favorable result is entertained, some reliance is placed on the solidity of the basis on which the estimate is grounded. It rests principally on the expectation that the revenue of the ensuing year shall not be less than that which accrued in the year 1802.
No part of it depends on the probable increase which may result from the neutrality of the United States during the continuance of the war in Europe; nor even on the progressive augmentation, which from past experience may naturally be expected to arise from the gradual increase of population and wealth. Nor has that effect been taken into consideration which the uninterrupted free navigation of the Mississippi, and the acquisition of New Orleans may have either on the sales of public lands, or on the general resources of the inhabitants of the western states.
All which is respectfully submitted, ALBERT GALLATIN, Secretary of the Treasury.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2.
Minutes of the Proceedings of Congress taken for the Alexandria Advertiser.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. MONDAY, October 31.
Motion to Exclude Strangers. Mr. Early of Georgia observed, that the house must often have experienced the great interruption their business and debates met with, from the admission of strangers upon the floor. He therefore moved, that it be resolved, that no person shall be admitted within the bar of this house without being introduced by one of the members thereof, Foreign Ambassadors and their suits excepted.
Mr. Nicholson, said, it will be well to define what is meant by being within the bar. He did not apprehend that the gentleman from Georgia meant that this resolution should extend to the exclusion of Stenographers; or to the total exclusion of a certain part of their auditors (females) whose company he was always happy to see in that part of the house from which the gentleman was for excluding strangers.
Mr. Early, declared that he was as much pleased to have the company alluded to within the bar as the gentleman who spoke last. It was not, continued Mr. E. from an idea of excluding them—but that their presence draws after them another description of strangers, who greatly disturb the business of the house. If the gentleman will form a resolution so as to admit the former and reject the latter, I shall give my hearty assent.
Mr. J. Randolph, was thankful to the gentleman from Georgia, for having introduced this motion. It was an invidious task, in moving for that which went to interrupt the egress and ingress of the house. Since his being a member of the house, he had not once seen the gallery entirely full. He wished to give every citizen a right to hear the proceedings of the house. In the disorders and interruption which so frequently happen in the house, he has remarked that the
gallery is almost always exempt from them. The gallery is immediately before the Speaker and under the cognizance of the Chair. Those who occupy it are seated, and cannot walk about. As long as persons are suffered indiscriminately to come within the bar, and talk, no officer can keep order in the house. I have frequently seen great intrusion from strangers—they occupy the fireplaces, and they interrupt our debates. I do not think Foreign Ministers should attend the debates of this house, and I could wish to have them excluded in the present motion. Their business is with the executive—they can have no business in this house.
Mr. Elliot observed, that it was not meant by the gentleman's motion, who sat near him, so exclude Stenographers; and he would suggest that the word "Stenographers" be added—to which Mr. Early consented.
Mr. Varnum, wished to know the difference between the standing rules, respecting Stenographers, and the motion of the gentleman from Georgia.
The Speaker read part of the order of the last session, which said "Stenographers shall be admitted into the house, and the Speaker shall assign to them such places as may be proper."
Mr. Huger, understood that the motion went to exclude any person coming within the second door, if so, he might perhaps vote for it; yet, it was rather hard if a member could not introduce a particular friend—one who might have come a great distance to hear the debates or to see his representatives; and upon some momentous question find it difficult to be conveniently seated in the gallery.
Mr. Randolph, moved to strike out the words "Foreign Ministers."
Mr. Elliot opposed, and Mr. Sanford moved, that the question be postponed until tomorrow. Agreed.
The order of the day, respecting balances due from Individual States to the United States, was, upon motion, postponed until the first Monday in December.
Tuesday, November 1.
The motion to exclude strangers from the floor of the House was again taken up—and, after considerable debate, it was agreed, upon the motion of Mr. Dawson, to be postponed until the first day of June next.
Mr. Jackson moved that provision be made by law, that a twentieth part of the net proceeds of the sale of land now sold, or to be sold by Congress, be appropriated for making public roads to the Ohio. Moved be referred to a select committee.
Mr. R. Griswold thought a committee of the whole house, most proper for this business, to which Mr. Jackson agreed. It was therefore referred to a committee of the whole house. Ordered to be printed and made the order of the day for to-morrow.
Mr. Varnum moved the order of the day, respecting the appropriation of fifty thousand dollars for the purpose of carrying into effect the 7th article of the treaty of amity and commerce with the King of Great Britain. Agreed without a division.
The Chairman having resumed the chair and read the resolution,
Mr. R. Griswold rose and observed, that the 7th section of that treaty provides that the commissioners shall examine the claims and award thereon, and that six per cent. interest be paid upon such claims—now he objected to this, and thought it sufficient to allow them interest from the time of the award, and therefore moved to strike out claims, and insert the word 'award.'
Mr. Early observing the gentleman who brought this business forward not in his place (Mr. Randolph) he moved the postponement of the business until to-morrow. Ayes 60. Noes 32.
POST OFFICE.
Mr. Dawson offered the following resolutions:
Resolved , That provision ought to be made for establishing Post Offices.
Resolved , That the money received in the department of the Post Office, after discharging the expenses of the establishment, be appropriated to the improvement of the post roads.
Mr. Nicholson observed, that the government had great need of this surplus, many heavy claims being at this time impending. He stated that last year the net surplus was sixty thousand dollars; but that the present year it was not supposed to exceed twenty eight thousand dollars. He observed that the United States have no post roads; as they belonged to individual states, tho' they are used by government for the conveyance of the mail.
Mr. Mitchell imputed the small surplus of the present year, to the additional expense of the Post Master General, whereby great improvements were made, & the mails accelerated.
After some conversation, it was agreed to strike out the first, and refer the second to a committee of the whole House—It was named the order of the day for to-mor-
row, then for Monday, when a majority appeared in favor of Monday.
Mr. J. C. Smith made a report on the petition of Mary Dargen, which was not granted; but upon the motion of Mr. Claiborne, who represented it as a singularly hard case, it was referred to a committee of the whole house, and made the order of the day for Friday, and to be printed. Adjourned.

PRIVATE applications having proved fruitless, I now call publicly on William Triplett, (the inspector of tobacco at Colchester) to pay me seventeen dollars and thirty cents, which he has long ago received for a hoghead of tobacco he sold and applied to his own use, and has promised four several times to pay, asserting each time that he had money either at home, at the Occoquan Mills, or in Alexandria. But all his imaginary funds have failed, and all his promises are broken. When Peter Coulter was presented with the tobacco note, he immediately paid one half of it, and referred to his brother inspector for payment of the other moiety, who has offered no other coin but broken promises. Had he confessed the truth at first, that he was without money, and promised to pay as soon as he could, I should have believed him, and probably not said a word to him on the subject from that day to this. But his pride and self-importance would not allow him to make such a confession, and when shuffling and false promises could no longer avail him, he had recourse to ill manners and insult. If payment is not very shortly made, I must drag the little great man into a court of justice on his four assumptions, where his conduct will be properly exposed with costs of suit. The above-mentioned facts will be substantiated by the evidence of Wm. Hukins, Thos. Barrott, Lee Massey, jun. and Peter Coulter. Lee Massey. Oct. 30. (N. 2) d1w
FOR SALE,
SIX IMPROVED FARMS,
LYING in the county of Fairfax, on Sugar Land Run, 18 miles from Alexandria, and 19 from the City of Washington, containing about 500 acres each; the improvements are a tolerable good Farm House, Stables and sundry other out houses; Apple and Peach Orchards of the best Fruit; each abounding with Springs of excellent Water, and plenty of fine Timber; they lie generally level, and are capable of high improvement, being of that kind of soil most adapted to the Planter of Paris. On one of the Farms there are 90 acres fallow sowed with wheat, and plastered, the other five are rented to tenants at will. These lands are considered the most healthy on this side of the ridge; they will be sold reasonable, and length of time given for greater part of the purchase money. Any person who would purchase the entire tract may have a great bargain. Their contiguity to three flourishing towns must in a little time enhance their value greatly. The title is unquestionable, as may be seen by conveyances made to me by Ferdinando Fairfax, esq. Information as to situation quality, &c. may be had from Colonel James Coleman, or Dr. Richard Coleman, living adjoining. I also wish to sell about 200 acres of land, about three miles from town; it may be had in lots of 25 acres; lies remarkable high, and healthy; has a sufficiency of Wood to each lot, and will suit well for Country Seats for gentlemen in town to remove to in the Summer months, and be sufficiently near to do their business in town. Several lots may be so laid off as to have a full and commanding view of the City, George town and Alexandria. For further information apply to the subscriber, living adjoining the town of Alexandria. B. DADE.

LECTURES. IN a science so various and complicated as the present system of the LAW, nothing which tends to facilitate the progress of the student can be deemed useless. It is with this view that the subscriber proposes to deliver, the ensuing winter, (and if suitable encouragement offers, annually) A course of Lectures, On Education, Belles Letters, Composition, History and Law. The subscriber means to divide the same into two distinct courses. The object of this division is, that such young gentlemen who are designed to all stations in active life, distinct from those of the learned professions, may resort to that course of lectures which will be delivered without a re- lation to the LAW, which will be the sole foun- dation of the other. If the plan should meet with success, the sub- scriber contemplates furnishing, next winter, a handsome library, for the use of such gentlemen as feel desirous of patronizing the undertaking. The principal laws of each state will then be provided. That students at law from any part of the United States will find it their interest to re- pair to the metropolis to pursue their studies; where they will have the advantage of attending the congressional debates. The facility of access which the houses of con- gress offer, is a circumstance peculiarly advan- tageous to the student, and the youthful pleader, not only from the light which is thrown in the course of debate on controverted questions of law; not only to be derived from witnessing the eager contests, the vigorous attacks, the wary methods of defence, exhibited by men of the most conspi- cuous talents, rivals alike in abilities and inter- est; but especially from this consideration, that the speakers are, in general, exempted by the na- ture of their functions, from those defects to which pleaders are peculiarly exposed. The LECTURES will commence the first week in December next, and continue until twelve dis- tinct Lectures in each course shall have been deli- vered. The terms may be known by application per- sonally, or by letters post-paid to ROBERT WARE PEACOCK. Attorney at Law. City of Washington, Oct. 7. m&th 11 D.
Stoughton's Bitters. During the present sickly season, the use of STOUGHTON'S BITTERS , (imported from London) will be found of great service, as pre- ventive to disease, especially where there is an infectious atmosphere and a predisposition in the habit to contagion. It eminently braces the con- stitution, and renovates the whole system. It may be used instead of spirits in water, tea, or other drink. It restores lost appetite, expels worms in children, and, if regularly used during the fall season, will prevent the ague and fever. In short, it only needs to be tried, to convince every one of its great efficacy. These Bitters may be had, with copious direc- tions, (prepared at the original warehouse in London) in quart bottles at one fourth of the for- mer charge for the same in vials, at S. Snow- den's Printing Office, Alexandria, where a bottle is constantly kept open for trial. Also, at A. BUCK's, Fredericksburg.

For Sale, by ROBERT & JOHN GRAY, WHEATON'S GENUINE PATENT JAUNDICE BITTERS, A MEDICINE extremely useful when Jaundicy and Bilious Complaints are so prevalent among the citizens of America and the West Indies. They are a useful and efficacious Medicine for curing Jaundicy and Bilious dis- orders, and removing that sinking, faint, distressed feeling at the stomach, difficulty of breathing, loss of appetite, and sleepy, dull heaviness in the fore- part of the day, weakness and trembling of the limbs, dizainess of the head, and yellowness of countenance, complaints so common to jaundicy and bilious people. Also removing constipation of the bowels, ob- structions of urine, cholicy complaints, pukings and purgings, indigestion, sick head ache, rheu- matic complaints, &c. (which arise from a collec- tion of sour, bilious matter in the stomach) and at length restoring the constitution to strength and vigor. They are also found very useful to carry off worms, and cure rickety children, and may be used with safety in all constitutions, ages and sexes. The many cures that have been effected in New England, by the above medicine, (as may be seen in the bills) prevent the necessity of further recommendation. LIKEWISE, Wheaton's Patent Ich Ointment. The only medicine in the world which will certainly cure the ITCH, without having in it any thing either dangerous or disagreeable; it being composed mostly of ingredients never before discovered or used in that disorder. One box cures a person, and there need be no washing after the use of it, as the skin is generally left cleaner and smoother after the use of it than before. August 2. 22w6m
