LETTER FROM The Secretary of the Treasury, ACCOMPANYING HIS REPORT, Prepared in obedience to the directions of the act, supplementary to the act, entitled, "An act to establish the Treasury Department."
SIR, I HAVE the honor to enclose a Report prepared in obedience to the directions of the act, supplementary to the act entitled "An act to establish the treasury department."
I have the honor to be, Very respectfully, Sir, Your obedient servant, ALBERT GALLATIN. Treasury Department, Dec. 16, 1802. The Honorable the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
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.
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-emption claimed by purchasers under J. Cleves 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 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 years, 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-exportations 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 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-exportation, 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 estimate 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 sundry 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   For the Naval establishment , calculated on a supposition, that six frigates shall be kept in constant employment, 900,000   Dollars, 2,560,000 
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 on account of the 200,000 dollars loan obtained from the state of Maryland, for the city of Washington, are included in the calculation; as they may be defrayed out of the following resources which make no part of the Permanent Revenue , 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 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 U. States, 2,780 shares had been sold in the year 1796, by virtue of the act, entitled " An act making provision for the payment of the debts of the United States ;" and for the purpose of discharging a part of the debts 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 Sept. 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 & 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 as follows. 4,628,105 39   From which deducting one year's interest on the same, 3,470,250 75   Leaves a sum applied to the reimbursement of the principal of the six per ct. and deferred stocks, of 1,157,845 64   2d Paid to foreign officers, & for the registered debt, 9,603 18   3d. Principal of domestic loans, (exclusively of the 1,287,600 dolls. paid out of the proceeds of bank shares.) 202,400   4th. Evidences of public debt paid for lands, 17,162 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 1 year's interest and charges equal to 462,731   And on account of the different rates at which bills have been purchased, and of sundry bills returned for non-payment and now in suit, a further sum of 82,284 98   545,015 98 
Leaves applicable to payment of the principal
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 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
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 4,539,675 dollars and 57 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 415,286 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 dolls. 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   —VIZ.—   On account of the Domestic Debt , 4,334,942 81   On account of the Foreign debt , 3,302,543 63   And in re-payment 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 1802, did not exceed 1,794,044 dollars and 85 cents) amounts to
the difference in favor of the U. States,
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 7,300,000 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. Treasury Department, Dec. 16, 1802.
(C) At a Meeting of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund , on the Seventh of June, 1802.
PRESENT, The Secretary of State, The Secretary of the Treasury, The Attorney General of the U. States.
THE Secretary of the Treasury reported to the Board, that provision has already been made to meet nearly all the demands which will become due in Holland, during the course of the present year, but that it is necessary to make immediate provision for the payments on account of principal and interest which fall due there during the first five months of the year 1803, and amounting to four millions, four hundred and thirty-nine thousand eight hundred and thirty Guilders, and payable at the following periods, viz.
  1st of January, 872,700 Guilders.   1st of February, 986,350 do.   1st of March, 601,000 do.   1st of June, 1,979,780 do. 

That from the great diminution of trade, between this country and Holland, he has ascertained during his late excursion to New York and Philadelphia, that it is impracticable to obtain bills on Holland to that amount: That the rate of exchange is already forty-one cents per guilder, and that any attempt on the part of the government to procure the large amount now wanted, would undoubtedly raise considerably the rate of exchange; that if it shall be attempted to remit, by the way of England, the loss will be considerable, the present rate of exchange with that country, being now above par and rising, and would undoubtedly be enhanced, should government come into the market for large purchases: and the rate of exchange between England and Holland, being by the last advices ten guilders eight stivers per pound sterling, nor likely to become more favorable, which supposing the whole amount in bills on England to be procurable (which is not believed to be the fact) at 168, would, including the commission of one per cent. in England, amount to forty-three & a half cents per guilder. That the bank of the United States having been applied to, has refused to undertake to contract for making the necessary remittances: And that the two only considerable offers made to the Secretary, are now submitted to the Board, viz.
The Manhattan Company offer to remit the whole, at the rate of forty three cents per guilder.
Alexander Baring offers to remit guilders 3,140,487 16 3/4 payable in Amsterdam at the following dates, viz.
1st of Jan. 1803, 605,000 Guilders 1st of February, 685,000 do. 1st of March, 425,000 do. 1st of June, 1,425,415 16 3/4 do.
and at the rate of forty one cents per Guilder, provided, however, that the United States shall sell to him the two thousand two hundred and twenty shares in the Bank of the United States, owned 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 authorised 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.

NEW-YORK, December 24. GAUDALUPE. From a St. Vincent Paper, November 10.
We lay the following translation of an act of the governor of Gaudaloupe, regulating the commercial intercourse between that colony and other countries, before the public, for the information of our mercantile friends.
In the name of the French Republic. ARRET.

It being necessary to settle the terms upon which foreigners shall be permitted to trade with this island, and to regulate the duties to be paid for the public service; and
In obedience to the orders transmitted by the minister of marine of colonies:
The following ARRET is made: Article 1. The arrest of the consuls of the 4th of last Messidor, relative to the importation and exportation of merchandise to and from the island of Martinique, Guadalupe, St. Lucia and Tobago, as well as the regulations contained in the arrest of the ci-devant counsellor of state, of the 30th August, 1784, and also the 3d article of the law of the 21st September, 1793, shall be immediately enforced in Guadalupe, with the following modifications:
2d.

3d. The rum and molasses made in the colony being notoriously insufficient to pay for the cargos of provisions imported, foreigners shall be allowed to export colonial produce.

4th. The director and under director of the customs, each in his department, shall pay particular attention to the conduct of the masters of vessels, under pain of answering for any neglect that may happen.
5th. The exportation of dollars is prohibited; the director and under director of the customs shall require a declaration from the masters of vessels of all gold and silver money which they shall have bro't with them.
6th. Counting from the date of this present arrest, the duties to be paid upon the importation and exportation of cargos shall be regulated according to the following tarif; every other regulation shall be void.
7th. These duties shall be paid at the office of the receiver of the colony, when the amount of them has been settled by the director or the under director of the customs as it may happen; after which the security given shall be void.
8th. For the future the following sums shall be received by the director or under director of the customs at Basseterre and Point-Petre in lieu of charges for anchoring, pilotage, or the like.
1st. For all vessels of 200 tons or under, there shall be paid, if a French vessel, the sum of 60 francs; if a foreign vessel, 120 French money.

MARK SERRES. December 27.
Late from New-Orleans. Captain Steele, of the ship South Carolina, informs us, that a few days before he failed, a letter from the governor of the Mississippi territory had been received by the government of New Orleans, requesting an explanation of the infringement of the Spanish and American treaty, by depriving the Americans of a place of deposit on the Mississippi river; and wishing to be informed, whether this measure was to be deemed tantamount to a declaration of war against the United States.
This communication was under deliberation by the Governor and council of N. Orleans for four days; the substance of their reply was unknown; but, at the breaking up of the council, it was declared, that American vessels might enter and deposit their cargos, by giving security to the full value of the cargo, that it should not be removed, until the decision of the Spanish Court should be received. Property, declared to be Spanish, was permitted an entry.
Great quantities of produce, brought down the Mississippi in light built boats, had arrived at New Orleans, and a great deal of it lost in the river, in consequence of their being no place to deposit it.
To shew the hostility and hatred of the Intendant towards the citizens of the United States, it is sufficient to mention the following fact. A boat loaded with cotton, having come down the Mississippi, by accident was sunk in the river. The cotton was taken up and landed on one of the wharves, till it could be put on board of the ship South Carolina. The Intendant on hearing of it, gave orders for its immediate removal, on pain of its being thrown into the dock.
Cotton, at New Orleans, had experienced a reduction in price. Dry goods dear and in demand.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29. We are just favored with a copy of an Order, dated at Madrid, Oct. 16, commanding all vessels from Philadelphia, to perform a quarantine of 40 days, previous to their admission into the ports of Spain. The following letter accompanies it.
Extract of a letter from Cadiz, dated the 3d November.
"The ship Prosperity, of Philadelphia, is just arrived from New-Castle, but our board of health would not admit her, and compelled her to sail immediately, refusing even to admit letters on shore, which is a very singular circumstance."
We shall publish the official order in our next.
Alexandria Advertiser.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 1. The Hiland, Capt. Hand, from this place, has arrived at Philadelphia.
We understand that the Executive have received authentic information, that the late suspension of the right of deposit at NEW-ORLEANS was undertaken without orders from the Spanish Government, and that the measure had been immediately communicated to the Governor of Cuba, who has a superintending authority over Louisiana, as it doubtless was to the Spanish Government. It is certain also that the Governor at NEW-ORLEANS, who has no authority over the officer from whom the suspension issued, objected to the measure. Under these circumstances, and the interpositions of our own Govern-
ment, it may be reasonably hoped, that the matter will be peaceably and fairly adjusted. Nat. Intel.
CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, Dec. 29, 1807.
Mr. Gray addressed the House in the following words:
Mr. SPEAKER, I rise to offer to the consideration of this honorable house, a subject of an uncommon nature.
In order that the crime of murder may no longer be deemed honorable, and with a view to mark with disgrace a wicked & pernicious practice, which has lately destroyed the social harmony of some of our fairest cities, & brought some of our most valuable citizens to an untimely end, I move the following resolution.
Mr. Gray then offered a resolution for the appointment of a committee with instructions to enquire into the expediency of disqualifying any person from holding an office under the government of the United States, who shall hereafter be concerned in a duel, or in sending or carrying a challenge.
Ordered to lie on the table.
John C. Smith, from the committee of claims, made a report on the petition of Charles Hyde. The report disallows one part, and sanctions another part of the claim of the petitioner.
Referred to a committee of the whole on Friday next.
Mr. Southard offered a resolution for the appointment of a committee with instructions to enquire into the propriety of granting further time to the proprietors or holders of military land warrants to obtain and locate the same.
Carried, and referred to a select committee of five.
Mr. Davis called up his resolution instructing the committee of elections to enquire whether Mr. Van Ness had not forfeited his seat by accepting the appointment of major in the militia of the territory of Columbia.
Mr. Van Ness said that so far as the decision of the House might affect him personally, he felt little concern; but so far as it affected him as a representative of an important state, he was not indifferent. He had no objection whatever to the proposed enquiry being made. As it involved the decision of an important principle it deserved great attention. He had no doubt of the enquiry being made with that candour and fairness which, in most cases, characterised the proceedings of the house. He was far from implying any impute motives to the mover or supporter of the resolution. It would be a satisfactory in him to impute, as in the enquire, any views dishonorable to the state. He had risen barely to state his wish that an enquiry might be made.
Mr. Elmerdorf proposed a verbal amendment, which was not agreed to.
The resolution was then adopted without a division.
Mr. Davis said that while on the subject of seats improperly held, he hoped another member would, by resigning, relieve the House from the necessity of deciding on his case. He questioned whether a territorial delegate could represent a state. He alluded to the state of Ohio. It appeared to him that a state must be represented in a full manner, by representatives entitled as well to vote as to debate. The gentleman, therefore, who held his seat as the representative of the territory could not remain in that character after the territory had become a state; neither could he be considered as the representative of the state inasmuch as he had been appointed under the territorial government. Mr. Davis concluded by giving notice that unless the gentleman resigns, he should offer a motion to vacate his seat.

A PROPOSAL BY SAMUEL BISHOP, For publishing by Subscription, LETTERS ON THE Elementary Principles OF EDUCATION. By Elizabeth Hamilton, Author of the "Memoirs of Modern Philosophers," &c.
ON this interesting and highly important branch of science, several valuable works have within a few years, been presented to the public, among which the above, as it is the most recent, is so it is pre-eminently useful. Led by her subject into an inquiry concerning the nature of the active powers, and intellectual faculties of the human mind, Mrs. Hamilton has developed those powers and faculties with a perspicuity and ability which, while it arrests the attention of those who have insufficiently studied the subject, must render a competent knowledge of them familiar to the most ordinary capacity. The superficialness and levity of character engendered by the modern system of education, have been long, and justly, a subject of complaint; but the particular evils by which these serious evils have been produced, were hitherto but imperfectly known, or little attended to: To trace these evils to their source, and to point out the proper remedy, is the ultimate object to which the meritorious efforts of this Author have been directed; and in these efforts she has, it is believed, succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectations. Such indeed, is the importance of the inquiries which form the subject of this work, and so great the success with which these inquiries have been pursued that the happiest consequences to society may reasonably be expected to result from the recent publication. To all it is interesting in a very high degree, but to mothers of families, and others engaged in the formation of the minds of children and youth, it will prove an acquisition truly invaluable.
The rapid sale of two impressions of this work in England, sufficiently evinces the high estimation in which it is there held: An American edition—equal to, and at little more than half the price of the British edition—is now offered to the patronage of the American public by whom its merits will, doubtless, be justly appreciated. [An Extract from the above Work.] From most of the writers on education it would appear, that it is only to people of rank and fortune that education is a matter of any importance. By such alone can the systems that are generally proposed, be adopted. To such, therefore, must we believe them to be exclusively addressed. To make fine ladies and finished gentlemen forms no part of my plan, which is for its object the succession of the passions, the direction of the affections, and the cultivation of the faculties that are common to the whole human race. The price of the British edition, is fifteen shillings, Staring, in boards.
CONDITIONS. I. The Work shall be comprised in two Duodecimo volumes, of about 450 pages each, & shall be printed in the best manner, on a fine Paper, and new Type. II. The price shall be one Dollar per volume in boards, payable on delivery.
*** A very considerable number of Copies being already subscribed for, the work shall be put to Press, and finished without delay. Subscriptions received by the Publisher
