IMPORT OF TILE SECRETARY OF TILE TREASURY OF

THE UNITED STATES.
Communicated to Congress, Nov. 6,1807.

In obedience to the directions of the Act Supplemen-
tary to the Act intituled " An Act to establish the
Treasury Department," the Secretary of the Trea-
sury respectfully submits the following Report and
Estimate :

REVENUE AND RECEIPTS.
The net revenue arising from duties on mer-
chandize and tonnage, which accrued during the
year 1805, amAunted to - -
And that which accrued during the year 1806,
amounted, as will appear by the statement (A) to 16,576,4,54
The same revenue, after deducting that portion
which arose from the duty on salt, and from the ad-
ditienalduties constituting the Mediterranean fund,
amounted, during the year 1805, to - - 12,520,532
And during the year 1806, to - - 14 80111 758
. . .

S 14,135,158

It is ascertained that the net revenue which ha.s accrued during
the three first quarters of the year 1807, exceeds that of the cur-
responding quarters of the year 1806 ; and that branch of the re-
venue may, exclusively of the duty on salt, and of the Mediterra-
nean fund, both of which expire on the Ist day of January next,
be safely estimated for the present, and if no change takes place in
the relations of the United States with foreign nations, at fourteen
millions of dollars.

The statement (13) exhibits in detail, the several species of
merchandise and other sources, from which the revenue was col-
lected during the year MS.
It appears by the statement (C) that the sales of the public
lands have, during the year ending on the 30th September, INO7,
exceeded 384,0160 acres. Some returns are not yet received ; and
the proceeds of sales in the Mississippi territory being, after de-
ducting the surveying and other incidental expences, appropriated
in the first place to the payment of a suns of 1,250,000 dollars to
the state of Georgia, have not been included, but are distinctly
stated. The actual payments by purchase, have, during the same
period, exceeded 680,000 &airs : and the receipts into the Tre-
asury from that source may, after deducting charges and the five per
cent, reserved for roads, be estimated for the ensuing year at
500,000 dollars.

The receipt, arising from thipermanent revenue
of the United States may, therefore, without Inclu-
ding the duties on postage and other incidental
branches, be computed, for th t year Isol4, at
And the payments into the tee.tsury during the
same year, on account of the -alt and Mediterra-
nean duties previously accrue 1, are estimated at one
million three hundred thousand dollars -
