amounts to 2,261,001 dollars, and fur many years has
not been applied as intended, is expected to ammo t
to 26,177,663 dole., leaving a surplus in favour uf
re-
vetue of 1,122,333 dole. The following statement,
showing the present amount of the domestic funded

The funded debt of the province of Rio de Janeiro,
after deducting 600.000 &As., which had been
redeemed up to December, 1819, amounts to
3,971,000 dole., bearing 6 per cont. annual interest.
The sinking fund bag been suspended for the re-
demption of the foreign debt, which it was proposed
to continue. The Custom-house receipts at Rio fur
the year 1849 were 11,062,203 milreu, sad in 1818,
9,371.379 milieu, being an increase of 1,470,824 rs.
The Minister of Finance in his address to the chambers
