FROM THE NATIO*AL friTaramitnlit. Wilda 9.
We have given co-day as much of theAnntial Re-
port of the Secretary of 'the Treasury, at we had tithe
to. put in type. The portion we have pilithed, em.
binds, as will be seen, the principal part of one
branch of the Report, which is chiefly of an historical
thiracter.
remainder of the Report, thefugeh not More
valuable than thp first branch, it more immediately
interesting to. our leader: generally, as containing
Secretary's propositions for the improvement and
romagement of the Revenue, and for the support of,
public tredii; besides the meal statement of the R':-
Seisu for the past, and estitnate of the expenses for
• . the aiming. year.
As to the Revenue, Mr. DALLAS proposes that the
dut?ec'on imports be continued until the Stith
• thy of June; 18 le; that the present thities on sugart
refined within the United.Stiites, on stamps, on sales
aad en postage. be coatinised : that the
I.):reet Tali be reduced Iron six to three millions of
doilats ; that the duties on the quantity of distilled
Writs be discontinued after the SOth day of June,
1816. and, in lieu thereof, that . the duty on licenses
ttelistillers be doubled after that day ; that the duties
oil licenses to retailers, be reduced to the rates of the
year' ISIS; that the duties on the articles mantffac.
tared in the United States, and the duties on house!
hold•tnrnitttre and witches, be repealea:
The third branch '6l the Report relates to the Na.
tonal Circulating Medium,_ and concluding with the
following propoiition : —44 That a National Dank be
istabli►fied ::t. the City of Philadelphia, having power
• , to erect branches elsewhere; and that the Capital of
*the Bank (being of a competent amount) consist of
three•foiirthp of the public stock, add one•fourth of
gold add silver."
This Report via, anxiously expected, as well be-
Cease of the importance of the subject, as that the
subjects of finance and the circulating medium are of
primary importance, and will probably claim the at-
tention Of Congress in preference to any other. The
puliiic expectation, however highly iaised, will not
be di appointed as to the importance and ability of it.

l:Apia., tor all the necessary support, upon the un-

and in indutitty. The confidence teas justly reposed;
yee it may, perhaps, bC considered as a subject for

ot tote earl tbight hate preserved the public
cr,:tsit ok:inliatred ; and would have rendered the pe-

wrfil As more effective. But owing to the want of
such a :y stem, a sudden and almost an exclusive re-
sort to the public predit was necessarily adopted as
'hi t:i0" instrument of finance. The stature of the
instrvitent employed war soon developed: and it
was f.,tiud that public credit could only be durably
su.tint.iined upon the broad foundations of public
revenue.
On the opening of the. Session of Cangtess Hoe
'reinter 1811, the legislative attention was devoted
to the Organization of the military and naval de-
partrbehts upon the enlarged scale of a sear establish-
ment ; so that the appropriations for this purpose, far
eaceeded, in a short time, the estimates and the re-
souries of the Treasury, as they have been already
described, Ways and Means wore* therefore, pro-
vidird to Own the extraordinary demands thus created;

of foreign commerce and df public credit.

The effect of the additional ways and means pro-
vided by Congress, from tithe to time, during the
late war, may readily be traced. From the Treasury
report, dated the lst of December, 1812, it appears
that the actual receipts Into the Treasury, during the
year ending (In the 30th ot September, 1812, includ-
iug a portion of the loan, and of the issue of Tree-
sury Notes, amounted to We sum of 18,782,159 dol.

mencel in November, 1812, and closed on the 3d of
March, 1813. the appropriations for the armyi the,
navy, and the ether 'branches of the public set vice,
were considerably auottented, but, without advert-
ing to the imposition of a small duty upon imported
iron ware, no new' source of revenue was tLen
opened ; hut additional aid was extended to the Trea-
sury, by &de/lei:sing a repetition of -the .appeal to
public credit.
1. An authority was given to raisz by loon a stint set exceeding
18,000,n00 or dollars, sad to create stuck ter the amount, bear-
ing interest not exceeding the rate of 6 per cent. per alinum, and
reintburiable any time :her the elpiration of twelve years from
the lit of January, 1314. The payment of the Interest, and the
irelcruptratt of purchase of this stock, are charged upon the Sit.k-

visional authorit y to issue an !additional 'mint of five milliners of
dollars, to be &tined and beld•to Si a part of the loan of sisseen
minions of dollers, authorised as above stated to to raised. The
notes were to lyor inte,est at the rate of S dellare per tem.

should be expressed on the fuse of thins, one year aster the day

lands sold by their &rabidity; and the payment of the intere,l,
and the redern,.::,,r. or pitraa:e of them Notes were tharged,like
the funded deot upon ttie tsi:Aing Fund.
The neceisittes of the Treasury becoming, however,
more urgent, and the reliftnce on the public credit
becoming more hazardous, Congress determined, at
a spttial session, which commenced in May, 1813,
to lay the foundation of a system of internal revenue,
selecting in particular those subjects of taxation which
were recommended by the experience of a former
period; and 'computing their general product at the
sum of 5,000,000 of dollars.
The continuance of these taxes being limited. at
firsti to one year after the termination of the war,
they acquired the denornination of ,4 the war taxes ;"
but, by subsequent laws, almost all the existing re-
venues are pledged, with the faith of the United States,
to provide for the payment of the expenses of Go-
vernment, for 'the punctual payment of the public
debt) principal and interest, according to the con:
tracts ; and for creating an adequate Sinking Fund,
gradually to reduce, and eventually to extinguish the
public debt ; until• thoie purposes shall be accom,
plished, or until Congress shall provide and substitute
by,law, for the same purposes, other duties which shall
be equally productive.—ln the session of May, 1313,
I. A direct Tax of 3,000,000 of dollars was laid upon the
United States, and appertiOned to the States respectively for the
year 1814, and It Was afterwards subjected to the general pledge
above stated.
2. A duty Of 4 cents per pound was laid upon all sugar re-
lined within the Visited States. The cantinuatiee of-the duty
was limited to one year after the Star j and as the general pledge
has not been applied to it, the duty will cease on the 17th of Fe-
bruary, 1816.
S. A duty was laid tin all carriages for the conveyance of per►
sons, kept by any person tot his own sue, or to be let out for
hire, or for the conveyance cif passeogers which *as graduated
according to the dignomination of the carriage, from the yearly
sum of twehty dollars to the yearly sem of two dollirs. The cou-
tinware of rids dutywas originally limited to the war • but the

4. A duty was imposed on licence& to distillers of spirits** 11.

the tithe of employing it, and the tnaterials consumed. The son-
dnuarice of this duty Was originaUx limited to the war; but the
general pledge has been applied to It with considerible modals-

S. A duty was laid on sales at auction of marebandlke, and of
Ships and vessels, at the rate of one per cent. of the purchase
money of geode, and 25 cents fir every hondred dollars of the

was prnelded that no certificate of stock should be sol I at a rate
less than 88 per cent. et 88 dollies in money for 100 dollars in
stock. The payment of the interest and the redemption, or the
purchase of this stock, are charged upon the sinking fund.
The sources of revenue thus opened in 1013 could, not,
howeier, be expected to aid the Treasury until 1814; and ay:-
eordingly, in the annual report front this deft:in:nem. dated tit.
Bth of January, 1814, neither the direct tat, nor die internal d.s-
ties, win be found as =item of the actual receipts into the 'Trea-
sury, during the year ending the snth September, 1813. Till.,
amount of those receipts Was stated, in the proceeds of the cus-
toms, of the safes of public lauds, t:e. at 1:4568,042 dollars 4:1

three millions nine hundred and seventy-six thousand nine hun-
dred and twelve dollars 50 cents. making together 39,907,5.07

riod were stated at 3:430,10.5 dollars 19 cents, independent of
the balances in the treasury, at the commencement and the do c

Fur the deficit thus approaching the Eno or X3110(1,000, the
only provision made during the ses,ioit whicit'comnuniced in
December 1813, rested again upon th' credit.
1. An authority was given to issy! Treasury n•ttes for a sum
not exceeding 5,0c0,0119 of dollars abablutely 1 with a provNonal
authority to issue an addi,ion..l sum of .5,0U0,604 of do:lars, to be

to supply this deficit of 10,167,586 dollars 91 cents; to pro-
vide an additional sum for the contingencies of the year; and to.
actelerate the fiicai measures which Were essential to the prose-
' cotton of the war, in 1815, the interposition of the legislature
was deemed indispensable. The plan of finance, which was pre-
dicated upon the theory of defraying the extraordinary expenses
of tbeiear by successive loans, had already become inoperative.
The product of the revenues bad ceased to furnish an amount
equal to the expenditure of the former peace establishment, with
an addition of the interest upon the debt contracted on account
of war. And the sudden suspension of specie payments at the
principal banks established in the different States (however it.
may be excused or justified by the apparent necessity of the
case) had exposed the Governsttent as well as private citizens,
to all the inconveniences of a variable currency, devoid alike of
national authority and of national circulation. The treasury
could no longer transfer its funds from pleat to place; and it be-
eerie, of course, impracticable to maintain the accustomed punc-
tuality in the payment of the public engagements.
Under these circumstances, the Congress was convened by the
weal call of the President,in September, 1814; when the citi-
zens of every occupation and pursuit seemed eager to second the
-legislative efforts to replenish an exhausted country, and to rem.
rate the public credit. Commerce continued to contribute, per-
haps, to extent of its capacity.—Agriculture, though suffering
the want of a vent for some of its important staples, was every
wherrprepaied for the requisite exertion. Domestic manufac--
tures,*hich had scarcely surmounted the first struggle for exist-
ence, 'lidded to the patriotic impulse. And the capital of indi-
viduals, in all its iaziety of form, offered a ready tribute to re
Sere the necessisies of the country. Thus during the Session
which commenced in September, 1814, and closed on the 8d of
March, 1815,
