spun. 9 tit. Octtssor to our depai ted Minister his
. ,
beets apponstru„ and is ready to proceed on 1.13
mission. The course Which be will pursuc,in
filling it, .is that prescribed tw to steady regard to
the true interests of the United States, which
equally avoids au abandonment.of their just de-
mands, and a connexion of their features a ith the
system of other powers.
.The receipts into the Treasury from the Ist of
October to the 31st of 'March last including the
sums received on account of Treasury no,tes,
anvl
Of the loans authorised by the Acts of the last
and. the preceding Bession Of Congress, have
amounted to 1'5,412,000 dollars. The expendi-
tures during the same', period amounted -to
15,920,000, and left in the Treasury on the Ist
of April 1,837,000 dollars. The loan (41.16 mil-
lions of dollars, authorised by the Act of the Bth
February last„ has been.coutracted tor: Of that
sum more than a million of dollars had been paid
into the Treasury prior to the Ist of April, mat
formed a part of the receipts as above stated.—
The retnainder of that luau, amounting to near
15 millions of dollars, with tlse.stn of five mil-,
lions at'dollars authorised to. be issued in Trea-
sury Notes, and the. estimated receipts front the
customs and the sales'of public lands, amounting
to. 9,000,000 dollars, and ne•?,.ing in the whole
29,300,000 dollars, to be received during the
last nine months of the present 'year, will he ne-
cessary to meet the expenditures . already autho-
rised', and the engagements contracted in relation
to the pithlie debt. .TheSe engagements amount,'
during that period, to 10,500,000 dollars, which,
with near'l,ooo,ooo fur the civil, miscellaneous,
and diploMatie expenses; both foreign and domes'.
tic ; and 17,800,04 for the military and naval
expenditures, incitiding the ships of war building,
and to be built svill leave a Sam in the Treasury
at the end of the present year,, equal, to that of
the Ist of April last. A past of Otis stun may be
considered as a resource 'by 1ii,v,,1-3:yond the sums
übOve mentioned ; and a' further resource for any
emergency may be folind in the suns of 1,000,000
of dollars the loan of which to the United States
has been authorised by the State of, Pensyivunia,
but whiels.has not yet been brought into effect:
This view of our finances, whilst it shews that
due provision has 'been made for the expenses of
the,current year,, shews at the same time, by the
limited amount_oLehe neural revenue, 'and the
dependence' on leans, the necessity of providing
• more adequately for the 'future supplies of the
Treasury. This can. best be. done by a well di-
gested system of internal revenue, in aid of exist»
ingsourees ; which will have the effect both of
abridging the amount of necessary loans, and on
that account,. us well as by placing the public
credit on a more satisfactory basis of improving
the terms on which loans may be obtained.
The loan of sixteen millions was not contracted
for at a less interest thawabout seven and a half
per cent. and although Other causes may, have had
• an agency, it cannot be doubted, that with the
advantage of a more extended and less precarious
revenue, u lower rate Of-interest might have suf-
ficed. A longer postponement of the advantage
could not fail to have a still greater influence on
future loans. .

In recommending to the National Legislature
this resort to additional taxes, 1 feel great satis-
faction in the assurance, that our constituents,
who have already ,tlisplayed so Much zeal and
firmness in the cause of their country, will cheer-
fuly give other proofs of their patriotism which
it calls for. Happily no people, with local and
territorial exceptions never to be wholly avoided,
are more able than the people of the United Stares
to spare. for the public wouts a portion of their
private 'means, ‘vhether regard he had to the ordi-
nary profits of. industry., or the ordinary price of
subsistence in our country, compared with those
in any other. And in no case could sfronger rea-
sons be felt for the yielding the requisite contri-
butions.
By rendering the public resources certain, and
commensurate, to the public ,exi;rencies, the Con-
stituted Authorities will be able to prosecute the
sear rapidly to its .proper issue ; every hostile hope
founded- on a calculated failure of our resources,:
will be cut off ; and by adding to the evidence of
braveryand skill, in, combats on the ocean and on
the land; an alacrity in supplying' the Treausry
necessary to give them their fullest effect ; and,
thus demonstrating to 'the world the public energy
which our political institutions combine, with the
perSonal liberty distinguishing them, the best se-
curity will be provided againSt future enterprises
on the rights, of the peace of the nation. '
The contest in which the United States are en—
gaged appeals for its support,to every motive that
can animate an uncorrupted and enlightened peo.
pie, to the rove of their .country, to the pride of li-
berty, to the glorious founders of their-independ-
ence, by a successful vindication of its violated at-
tributes ; to the gratitude and Syrnpatity which
demands security from the most degrading,wrongs
of a class of citizens; who have proved so worthy
of the pr tteerion"of their country, by their heroic
zeal in its defence ; and. finally,,to the
gations of transmitting entire to futere genera-.
Lions, that precious patrimony of 'national rights
tied iadependenee, which is held in trust by. the
present from the goadneis of Divine Providence.
Being aware of the inconveniences to which a
protracted Session at: this season ,would be liable,
I limit the present communication to the 'objectsi
of primary importance. lu.special messages which
may ensue, regard will be hail to the Same consi
deration. • JAMES MADISON.
Waihington, May 2b, 1813.

On Tuesday afternoon, as Thomas Baker, who
was upwards of sixty years of age, was oiling one
of the main wheels of the steam engine in Mr.
Kedgate's pin and avirc mlnufactory in Notting-
ham, it caught sonic part of bis clothes, as is
supposed, by which he %vas dragged ,through
an
aperture about nine inches wide but, a brush he
had in his baud coming itt contact with the wheel
and th 6 cog, in their conjunctive motion, stopt
the engine, or the old man would
.have been
ground to pieces. At it was, however, he was
so much injured as to cause his death' that even-
iug, at the gene'ral hospitiil, where surgical aid
had been admiuister6l in vain. It is rewarltable,
that though' his stuall-cloaws were litel'ktilY torn
to Pieces, his watch remained uninjured in his
pocket.'
