We have received a new set of Ne•.v.York Papers,
to the s:h last, being the same date as then which
we received on Saturday last. They contain an
Official Report of the Revenue of the United States
for the )eAr ending September .30th, 1805, and the
Estimates for the year 1406 It appears from this
financial statement, that the nett revenue arising
from merchandise, in the year, ending in September
last, was equal to that of any preceding year. It
attributes its increase beyond that of !?:.,
the only year of European peace since 179 z,
to the neutrality of the United States daring
the continuance of the war in Europe.
revenue arising from the sale of public lands,
for the year endiag the 30th of S•ptember last, it
adds, is greater than that of any preceding year,
making, with other sources, an aggregate et more
than eighteen millions of dollars. The cxpences of
the

year 1806, are estimated at 15,450,000 d,:ilars,
so that the permanent revenues of the United States
will, during the ensuing year. greatly exceed the
expenditure.

Extract of a Letter from Dominica, dated Dec.

21, 15.`5:—" Scarcely a day passes, without an
English prize being carried into some of the Danish
or Swedish Islands. Fourteen privateers (exclusive
of those already cruising), from 14 to 18 guns each.
are now fitting out at Guadaloupe, four of which
have sailed to the windward of Hat badoes, for the
purpose of intercepting the Cork fleet ; one at
which, the Gr!larrt Scirrner, from Bristol, they have
sent into Guadaloupe, and a very valuable Guinea-
man has, within these f.wr days, been carried into
Sr. Martin's. The °Ned ‘if the French, in sendinz
out the 5.000 men daily expected, is to strengthen
their own islands, in the firs: instance, and, with the
remaining, to take possession a the Swedish ani
Danish Islandi, which will afford them the means of
annnsing our trade, particularly our homeward-
bound convoy."

Sir Guilin s 'mow, we hear, is certainly to

The Government of Holland, in ril•edience to the
commands of the Pt etch Ru!s7s, have issued a Pro-

nalties, 311 commercial and friendly intercoms° with
the snileas of Great Britain.
The anxiety of HOP • P +writ to shut the Ports of

been lately strongly evinced by a variety of articles
inverted in the Paris Papers, all tending to that oh.
j.ea, the attainment of which, intimated by that
ignorance of the principles of Commerce which ba.
invariably marked his conduCt, he absurdly ima,,,inis
would destroy our commercial superiority. Too
