The statement (B) exhibits in detail the several
species of merchandize and other sources from
which that revenue was colle6to :daring the year
1801; ; and the s' atement (A.) gives a- comparative
view of the importations and re-exportations of the
several species of Merchandise for the years 1807
and 1808, shewing thereby distinaly the effeti of
foreign aggressions and Commercial restrictions on
the importations or foreign articles.
Froin the returns already received for the three
first quarters of the p?esent year, and from the ge-.
peral knowledge of the importations made during
the two latil months; it is believed that the gross
amount of duties on merchandise imported during
the whole year, will, after deducting the expenses
of colleaions amount to about ten milliOns of &l-

It appears by the statement (C) that the., sales of
pubic lands haves during, the year ending on the
30th September; 1809, amounted to 143,000 acres;
and the payment by purchasers to twai• 500,000 dol-
lars. The proceeds of sales in the Mississippi Ter-
ritory, being, after deduaing the surveying and other
incidental expences, appropriated in the first place
to the payment of a sum of 1,250,000 dollars to
the State of Georgia, are distinctly stated.
It appears by the statement (D) that the pay,
ments on account of the principal of the public debt
have; during the stene period, amounted to near
6,730,000 duilarSj the reimbursement of the S per
cent. st,,ek having taken place on the Ist of January
last. But the aggregate of payments on account of
principal and interest will not for the two years
1803 and 1809 exceed the sum of sixteen millions
of dollars appropriated by law.
The same statement shews thit about 343 196,000
dollars of the principal of the debt have been reim-
bursed during the 8 years and a half commencing
OD the fst of April, 1801, and ending on the 30th
Sept. 1609 ; exclusively of more than six millions of
dollars paid in conformity with the provisions of the'
Contention with Great Britain and of the Louisiana
Convention.
