LETTER
FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY,
ACCOMPANYING
HIS REPORT,
Prepared in obedience to the directions of the act, supplementary to the act, intituled, "An act to establish the TREASURY DEPARTMENT."
SIR,
I have the honour to enclose a Report prepared in obedience to the directions of the act, supplementary to the act intituled "An Act to establish the Treasury department."
I have the honor to be,
Very respectfully,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
ALBERT GALLATIN.
Treasury Department, } December 16th, 1802. }
The Honourable the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
REPORT.
In obedience to the directions of the act supplementary to the act, intituled, "An Act to establish the Treasury Department," the Secretary of the Treasury respectfully submits the following REPORT.
The permanent revenues of the United States, exclusively of fees, fines, and penalties, which in a general view of the subject, may be omitted, consist of, duties on Merchandise and Tonnage; proceeds of the sales of public Lands, and duties on Postage.
The duties on postage, which were, in the annual report of last year, estimated at 50,000 dollars, have, during the year ending on the 30th of September last, yielded 50,500 dollars. The decrease of ship letters, the extension of the establishment through unproductive roads, and the acceleration of the progress of the mail, may, however, cause some defalcation in the receipts of the ensuing year.
Three hundred and twenty six thousand and fifty-two dollars and eight cents have been received during the same year, on account of public lands; of which sum, 17,162 dollars and 50 cents were paid in the treasury, in evidences of the public debt, and 179,575 dollars, and 52 cents in specie. The local situation of the land offices not having yet rendered it practicable to draw the balance from the receivers of public monies.
Three hundred and forty thousand acres of land have been sold for six hundred and eighty thousand dollars, during the year ending on the 31st day of October last; of which quantity near ninety seven thousand acres were sold on account of pre-emptions claimed by purchasers under John Clegg Symmes , and two hundred and forty three thousand acres are the result of CURRENT SALES . The annexed statement (A) designates the quantities respectively sold in the several districts, and the annual payments receivable on account of the balance of nine hundred and sixty thousand dollars due on these and on the preceding sales.
From those several results, it appears probable that the annual receipts under this head, will not, on an average, fall short of the sum of four hundred thousand dollars, at which they have been estimated.
Although it had been anticipated that
the receipts in the Treasury, on account of duties on merchandise and tonnage, could not, for the present year, be affected by the restoration of peace in Europe, yet the sum actually paid has exceeded the most sanguine expectations.
Twelve millions, two hundred and eighty thousand dollars have been received during the course of the year ending on the 30th day of September last; a sum larger, by two millions of dollars, than the amount received for the same duties during the preceding, or any other year; and which exceeds, by twelve hundred thousand dollars, the aggregate heretofore collected, in any one year, on account of both the IMPOST and the INTERNAL DUTIES , repealed by an act of last session.
This excess, which had not been calculated upon, is considered, alone, as amply sufficient to cover any possible defalcation, which might, during the next and ensuing year, reduce that branch of the revenue below last year's estimate of nine millions five hundred thousand dollars. Such defalcation is not, however, apprehended, for although there are not yet sufficient data, precisely to ascertain the effect of peace on the amount of duties; those which are in the possession of this Department, tend to corroborate the presumption, that that sum at least, (nine millions and an half) will hereafter be annually received. The statement (B) which exhibits a comparative view of that Revenue, for each quarter during the last two years, shows that the amount of duties accrued during the nine first months of the present year, exceeds eleven millions three hundred thousand dollars; and after deducting three millions five hundred thousand dollars, amount of debentures issued during the same period, on account of the re-exports of foreign goods, leaves for those three quarters, a balance of more than seven millions eight hundred thousand dollars, subject to no other deduction than the expenses of collection; and from the knowledge already obtained of the importations during the present quarter, as well as from the gradual diminution of re-exports, no doubt remains that the net revenue accruing during the whole year will exceed the estimate.
From present appearances, the whole of the permanent REVENUES of the United States may therefore be reasonably computed at ten millions of dollars,—of which sum, seven millions three hundred thousand dollars are appropriated for the payment of the principal and interest of the Public Debt , and two millions seven hundred thousand dollars are applicable to the current expenses of Government.
According to the estimates for the year 1803, those expenses will, exclusively of a sum of 180,000 dollars, wanted to cover the Navy deficiencies of the years 1801 and 1802, but including fundry permanent appropriations which make no part of the annual estimates; amount to 2,660,000 dollars: to wit:
  For the Civil Department, and all Domestic Expenses of a civil nature 680,000   For expenses attending the intercourse with foreign Nations, including prize causes and Barbary powers , 250,000   For the Military and Indian departments , 830,000   From the Naval establishment , calculated on a supposition that six frigates shall be kept in constant employment, 900,000   Dollars, 2,660,000 
Neither the payments due on account of the convention with Great Britain, and which will, for three years, amount annually to eight hundred and eighty-eight thousand dollars, nor the installments and interests due account of the 200,000 dollars loan obtained from the state of Maryland, for the city of Washington, are included in that calculation; as they may be defrayed out of the following resources which make no part of the PERMANENT REVENUES , viz.
1st. The surplus of specie in the treasury which, as the whole amount there will not at the close of the present year, fall much short of five millions of dollars, far exceed the sum which it is prudent to keep.
2dly. The uncollected arrears of the
DIRECT TAX , estimated at four hundred thousand dollars.
And 3dly. The outstanding uncollected INTERNAL DUTIES , amounting to near seven hundred thousand dollars.
The only embarrassment experienced during the course of last year, arose from the difficulty of procuring the remittances necessary to meet the large installments of the debt due in Holland . The impossibility of obtaining bills on that country, to the amount wanted by government, and the loss which, on account of the rate of exchange, must be incurred by remitting circuitously through England, induced the secretary of the treasury to recommend, in a report to the commissioners of the SINKING FUND (marked C.) a recourse to bank stock as the most favorable mode of remitting.
Of the five thousand shares in the stock of the bank of the United States, originally subscribed by the United States, 2,780 shares had been sold in the year 1796, by virtue of the act, intituled "An act making provision for the payment of certain debts of the United States;" and for the purpose of discharging a part of the debt due to the bank. The remaining 2,220 shares were now, under the same authority, sold at 45 per cent. advance: the 1,287,600 dollars which they produced were, in conformity to the provisions of the said act, applied towards discharging an equal amount of that part of the debt, which had become due to the bank before or during the year 1796; and the purchaser of the stock, sold, at the same time, to the treasury, an equal sum in bills on Holland at 41 cents per guilder; the securing of which large amount, at that rate, was the inducement on the part of government to dispose of the bank stock on those terms. As the dividend usually received on the bank stock sold, and the annual interest payable on the debt due to the bank, thus extinguished, were nearly equal, the July half yearly dividend on the stock, was in fact the premium paid for the purpose of effecting the remittance; and government has thereby been enabled to obtain, without raising the price of exchange, the whole amount wanted to meet the payments due in Holland , till the month of September 1803.
Exclusively of, and in addition to the debt of 1,287,600 dollars thus paid to the Bank, out of the proceeds of the sales of Bank Shares; a sum of eight millions three hundred and thirty four thousand, seven hundred and fifty seven dollars and eighty-nine cents, has been paid out of the treasury during the year ending on the 30th day of September last, on account of the principal and interest of the Public Debt , and the payments in part of the principal of the debt, made during the same period, have been as followeth:—
  1st. The payments on account of the principal and interest of the Domestic Debt , have been Dolls. 4,628,105 39   From which deducting one year's interest on the same, 3,470,259 75   Leaves a sum applied to the reimbursement of the principal of the six per cent. and deferred stock, 1,157,845 64   2d. Paid to foreign officers, and/or the registered debt, 9,603 18   3d. Principal of domestic loans, (exclusively of the 1,287,600 dollars paid out of the proceeds of Bank Shares) 302,400   4th. Evidences of public debt paid for lands, 27,162 50   5th. The payments on account of the principal and interest of the foreign debt have been, 3,310,874 32   From which sum deducting a year's interest and charges, equal to 464 221   And on account of the different rates at which bills have 
been purchased, and of fundry bills returned for non-payment, and now in lieu, a further sum of
545,015 98
Leaves applicable to payment of the principal,
2,763,838 34
4,152,869 68
Amounting altogether to four millions, one hundred and fifty two thousand, eight hundred and sixty-nine dollars and sixty-six cents.
And if to that sum shall be added the
1,287,000
dollars paid on account of the principal of the debt due to the Bank, out of the proceeds of the sale of the Bank shares the
5,440,469 68
total amount of debt extinguished during that year, will be found to exceed five millions, four hundred & forty thousand dollars.
The balance of specie in the treasury which, on the 1st day of October 1801, amounted to 2,948,718 dollars and 73 cents, had increased on the 1st October 1802, to the sum of 4,539,673 dollars and 37 cents, making a difference in favor of the treasury, of 1,590,956 dollars and 84 cents: which last sum added to the above mentioned payment of 4,152,869 dollars and 66 cents, made out of the treasury on account of the principal of the public debt, makes an actual difference in favor of the United States, of more than five millions, seven hundred and forty 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 1802, (exclusively of and in addition to the Bank Debt discharged out of the proceeds of Bank Shares) amounts to
Dolls. 5,339,886 44
On account of the Domestic Debt ,
1,334,942 81
On account of the Foreign debt ,
3,502,543 63
And in repayment of temporary loans,
702,400
5,339,886 44
And if to that sum shall be added the increase of specie in the Treasury, during the same period, which (as the amount on the 1st April 1801, did not exceed 1,794,044 dollars & 85 cents) amounts to
2 745,630 72
the difference in favor the United States,
8,085,517 16
for those eighteen months will be found equal to eight millions, eighty-five thousand five hundred and seventeen dollars and sixteen cents. Of the annual appropriation of 7,800,000 dollars for the principal and interest of the Public Debt , near three millions, nine hundred thousand dollars will be wanted to pay the interest which falls due in the year 1803, and the residue, amounting to three millions, four hundred thousand dollars may be considered as the sum applicable, during that year to the extinguishment of the principal of the public debt.
From all which, it results that so long as the United States shall not be afflicted by any unforeseen calamity, and whilst the public expenditures shall be kept within their present limits, there does not appear any necessity for increasing the public Revenues .
All which is most respectfully submitted by
ALBERT GALLATIN,
Secretary of the Treasury.

by the United States, at forty five per cent advance, or at the rate of five hundred and eighty dollars per share; which last proposition is recommended by the Secretary of the Treasury, as the most eligible; as exclusively of the advantageous rate of Exchange, thereby secured, the transaction will not have any unfavorable effect on the rate of Exchange generally, and by so considerably diminishing the demand, will enable the United States to obtain what is still wanted at a reasonable rate: And because in his opinion, the price obtained for the Bank Shares, is more than could be obtained, were they thrown in the market for sale, and more than their intrinsic value.
Whereupon, it was resolved, by the Board, "That the Secretary of the Treasury be authorized to sell the shares of the Stock of the Bank of the United States, belonging to the United States; and that the proceeds thereof be applied to the payment of the capital or principal of any part of the debt of the United States, which had become due to the Bank of the United States, before or during the course of the year 1796, and which remains still unpaid, in conformity to the provisions of the act entitled "An act making provision for the payment of certain debts of the United States," passed on the 31st day of May 1796."

GOVERNOR'S ADDRESS. Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives.
By your public act of the eighteenth it is authenticated, that my fellow citizens have re-elected me as their governor for the three years next ensuing. In obedience to their will, I have taken the necessary oaths to qualify me for the execution of the important trust. The approbation of my conduct in that station for the last constitutional term, manifested by their votes, merits and receives my most grateful acknowledgements. A majority of more than thirty thousand free and independent citizens have been pleased to sanction my late administration, and when I perceive myself surrounded by enlightened and virtuous co-adjutors in the government of the state, whom I can call my personal friends, I am encouraged to hope, that our joint endeavors will still add to the security of liberty, property, and every thing deemed valuable in society.
Heretofore, the constitutions and laws of the United States and of this state have been my constant guides and the peculiar happiness of the inhabitants of Pennsylvania has been my chiefest care; I shall persevere in the same principles. The early education and unfounded prejudices of some among us, inimical to a republican form of government, in a degree darkened our prospects and impeded our political movements, but I do not despair of reconciling even those to our system, by using reason, persuasion and lenient measures. In compliance with precedent, I have said thus much; I shall add no more, but that my fame, and talents and all the powers I possess, shall be devoted to the service of my native state, and in alleviating the miseries and increasing the comforts of my fellow mortals.
THOMAS M'KEAN. Lancaster, December 21, 1802.
The following is the answer of the house of representatives, to the governor's speech at the opening of the session, with his reply.
TO THOMAS M'KEAN, Governor of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
SIR, Impressed with sentiments of esteem and respect, as the representatives of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, we congratulate you on your re-election. We regard it, not only as a popular recognition of political principles, but as a practical proof, that the officer who discharges his official duties with integrity and firmness, will receive the approbation and support of a free and independent people.
We hear with indignation and regret, that the repeated efforts made to prevent the encroachments on the soil and sovereignty of Pennsylvania, have not produced the desired effect. We agree, with you, that the peace and honor of the government have been too long violated and insulted, by the lawless and arrogant combination of Connecticut intruders. And should the judicial authority be defeated in its legitimate endeavours to punish the delinquent intruders, and to protect the rights of property, you may rely on our support, in the decisive measures which it will be your duty to pursue.
In deliberating on the various other important objects, recommended to our consideration, we will cordially co-operate with you, to remedy existing evils and promote the welfare of the commonwealth; anticipating, as the result of our united endeavours a continuation of those inestimable blessings attached to a free republican government.  GOVERNOR'S REPLY. TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Gentlemen,
Order of the Board. 2d October, 1802.

In which cases care shall be taken that the government of the United States shall be reimbursed for its advances for costs and expenses therein, and indemnified for its responsibility for any such costs and expenses to the satisfaction of the public agent."

WASHINGTON CITY.
WEDNESDAY, December 29, 1802.
We consider it scarcely necessary to attract the attention of the nation to the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, in our preceding columns. The friends of their country will rejoice in the unrivaled prosperity of its finances, and the unprejudiced will find new grounds of confidence in an administration that opposes facts to slander, and the flourishing situation of the empire to the false statements of party prejudice and personal malice.
It is with pleasure we announce the re-election of General Stevens Thompson Mason, Senator of the United States from the State of Virginia. The nearly unanimous vote given is at once an evidence of the strength of republican principles in that state, and of the high confidence which the active talents and unshaken patriotism of Mr. Mason have inspired. The votes were,

COMMUNICATION.
DRY DOCKS.
Mr. John Gardiner of this City, has obtained a Patent for erecting Dry Docks (where there is little or no ebb and flow of tide) to repair ships in.
Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Monday, Dec. 27, 1802.
On motion of Mr. Mitchell, ordered that 500 copies of the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury of the 16th inst. be printed for the use of the members.
Mr. Davis observed that he was of opinion that a member of the House retained his seat contrary to the spirit and sense of the constitution. It, therefore, became his duty to offer a resolution instituting an enquiry into the subject, in doing which he disclaimed all personal view. He then made the following motion:
Resolved that the committee of elections be, and they are hereby instructed to enquire whether John P. Van Ness, one of the members of this House from the State of New-York, returned by said State to serve as one of its members in the seventh Congress of the United States, has not, since his election as a member of this House, and since he occupied a seat as a member, accepted of, and exercised the office of a major of militia under the authority of the United States within the Territory of Columbia, and thereby forfeited his right to a seat as a member of this House.
Mr. Mitchell considered the point as interesting in two relations; that which involved the decision of a principle, and that which went to deprive the State, (New-York) one of whose representatives he was, of a member. For these reasons he hoped the business would not be immediately pressed. He acknowledged this was not the first intimation he had received of the contemplation of such a motion; but he had entertained a hope that the gentleman, with whom it originated, had, on reflection, considered it not inconsistent with his duty, to abandon it.
Mr. Davis replied that he felt no disposition to press a decision. He had communicated, the first day he took his seat, his ideas on the subject to certain members, the friends of the gentleman implicated by the resolution, in hopes that he would resign. He now entertained no wish to push the business. He supposed, however, that the resolution would of course go to the committee of elections. He repeated that he was governed by no personal prejudice, but entirely by a sense of duty. He concluded with saying he was in favor of the question of reference being immediately taken.
But on Mr. Mitchell repeating his desire for some delay, Mr. Davis agreed to let the resolution lie till tomorrow.
Leave of absence was granted to Mr. Dawson till Thursday; to Mr. Huger till Friday; and to Mr. Campbell for one week.
Tuesday, Dec. 28, 1802.
A message was received from the President of the United States, inclosing plans and estimates for a Dry Dock on the Eastern Branch of the Potomac, capable of containing twelve frigates of 44 guns.
The proposed plan, in an accompanying report to the Secretary of the Navy, is exhibited, at considerable length, by Mr. Latrobe; with estimates for two plans; one for supplying the Dock with water from the Tyber, the expence of which is estimated at 27,000 Dollars; the other for supplying it from the Potomac at the Little Falls, the expence of which is estimated at 222,000 Dollars.
[Details, which are long, hereafter.]
Referred to the Committee to whom was referred so much of the President's Message as relates to Dry Docks.
A letter was received through the Speaker, and read, from James M'Henry, containing certain animadversions on the Report of the Committee of Investigation, made during the last session.
Considerable progress having been made by the Clerk in the reading of the above letter, Mr. Alston said that the paper which the clerk was reading appeared to him to be a very voluminous one, and that he did not think the House were bound to listen to the reading of it. He conceived them only bound to attend to such documents as might be received from public officers, or to petitions for a redress of grievances. He did not believe the paper now before the House to be one of that description, or that the House ought to take any notice of it. If the House were bound to take notice of every letter any individual might think proper to write and address to the Speaker, very little time might be left to do any other business. He concluded by saying he thought they ought to take no more notice of it than they should of any paragraph in a News-paper which might be inclosed to the Speaker. He therefore moved that the paper should not be read.
Mr. Stanley observed that he did not perceive the difference stated by his colleague; nor did he know how the gentleman could anticipate the contents of a communication before read. We shall be enabled to judge better of it when we hear it. By what inspiration could the gentleman form a judgment now? The communication appeared to him of the utmost importance. He hoped, therefore, it would be read.
Mr. Morris could not omit making a remark or two. From the communication, so far as read, it appeared that it was charged, that the character of a former public officer had been aspersed. The house ought, therefore, not only to read the communication, but also to enquire into the complaint. There was not an indecent expression in it. The writer complains that his character has been attacked; he thinks unjustly attacked. It will be the height of injustice to refuse him an opportunity of being heard.
The Speaker said that it was a rule of the House that when the reading of a paper is called for, it shall be read, unless dispensed with by general consent.
Mr. Randolph said he wished only to observe, that there was but one principle (and that had been stated by the Speaker) on which these papers ought to be read. Any member had a right to call for the reading of papers. To him, however, it appeared that there was no occasion for inspiration to perceive that the papers, so far as read, were in a high degree indecent, unworthy of any man who had held, or ought to hold an office under government, and derogatory from the dignity of the House. Members were cited by name; insults were offered to individual members; a committee was divided into different sets; on one class illiberal calumnies were thrown, while the other class was shielded from reflection. Was this decent, or indecent? He congratulated himself that he differed as widely on this subject, as he did on others, from gentlemen.
Mr. Morris said however widely he might differ on this as well as other subjects from the gentleman from Virginia, he believed his own ideas of what was decent or indecent as correct as those of that gentleman. The letter states that a report had been made during the last session implicating the character of the writer. It further states that certain gentlemen on the committee did not concur in the report. This the writer knew from the debates upon the Report. He therefore, thought it his duty, in vindicating himself, to exonerate those members from censure. Was this indecent? He conceived not.
Mr. Morris said that when he had observed that there was not an indecent expression in the letter, he meant that there was no such expression applied to the House collectively. He did not mean to say there were no charges against individual members. But if there were charges against individual members, that was no reason for the House refusing to hear it. That could only be done when charges were made against the House in its collective character.
The Speaker read the rules of the house that applied to the case before them.
Mr. Alston said he only rose to notice the observation of his colleague (Mr.
Stanley) who supposed he saw the inside of the communication before it was presented. This he denied. He had grounded his motion exclusively on what he had heard read.
Mr. Bacon was at a loss to decide on the propriety of reading or not reading these papers. He perceived that they contained not only a complaint, but a high charge against a committee of the House, stating that the major part assumed to act exclusively upon the business assigned to the whole committee, without consulting the other members. This was a high charge. Whether proper or regularly made, he did not know. It was rather his opinion that the House ought to proceed in reading the papers, and afterwards to pass proper order on them.
The Speaker declared the rule for reading imperative, and Mr. Alston withdrew his motion; on which the Clerk proceeded in the reading, which was continued for more than an hour; when
Mr. Davis renewed the motion for suspending the further reading. He asked what reason there was in consuming the time of the house in having long papers read, on which, when read, the House could not act? He read a rule of the House enjoining upon every member or the Speaker, before presenting any paper, briefly to state its contents, and asked of what avail this rule could be unless it were in the power of the House to refuse the reading?
The Speaker again declared his opinion that the reading was imperative, unless dispensed with by unanimous consent.
Mr. Mitchell was proceeding to make some remarks; when Mr. Griswold called him to order, as the decision of the Speaker had settled the point, unless an appeal was made therefrom.
Mr. Davis said he was so tired with the papers, and thought the precedent so bad a one, that he appealed from the decision of the chair.
Mr. Dana called for the yeas and nays.
The question was taken, according to a rule, without debate, on the question "Is the decision of the chair in order?" Carried in the affirmative—Yeas 62. Nays 16.
On which the reading was continued till a quarter past two o'clock.

Raleigh, Decembes 14, 1802.
We have it from undoubted authority, that it is not true that the grand jury or any of them at the last Superior court in Wilmington district, expressed to Mr. Hill or to Major Moore, sentiments unfavourable to the political conduct of Mr. Hill, or inimical to the re-erection of a successor.—From the best information we can collect, we have no reason to suppose any change has taken place in the political sentiments of the division M c Hill represents in Congress. The last expression of the public sentiment in that division as well in the election of an Elector as in the last election for Representative in Congress, was decidedly federal. We should not have taken notice of this attempt to ridicule the character of two respectable men, had we not observed in the last Newbern paper a paragraph stating that the Printer of Wilmington who published the falsity had refused to give publicity to a correct statement.
