It Ili -probable that the ensued reeeasewill be equal
to that sum. To provide for the estimated deficit et
the years 1825 and 1826, as well as to meet soy ips-
traordiaery demands upon Me Treasury. which taw-
foresees itelgeocies may require. it is believed to_ bs
expedient that the revenue should be increased. Thin
may be eenveniently effected by a judicious misled • ,
of all tariff ; whieb„mbil• it will not prove onerous
to the consumer, w:11 simplify the labours os the *S-
eers of the revenue. At present, articles composed of
wool. cotton. Aim and hemp, pay different rates of
duty. Difficiorties frequently occur in detormittilig tit*
duties to which such articles are subject. Tim pro-
vision in the tariff, that the duty epos artioler tom-
peseta various materials shall be regulated by deems-
terial of chief 'sista of which it is composed. Is pro-
ductive of frequent miner:ginned and mach *no:
variance. It is, therefore, teepee...gully mibmitteu,
1 that all articles composed of wool, cotton, ilaX. Iraq:
or silk, or of which any of these materials is a tempo-
neat part, be subject to a duty of 25 per cent, ad ye-
lerem.
The duties upon glass and paper, upon iron and lead,
and upon all articles composed of the two latter ma-
terials, may also be increased with a view to the aug-
mentation of the revenue. In all these cases, except ar-
ticles composed of silk, it is probable that the effect of
the proposed argrnentation of duties, will gradeally leed
so an ample supply of those articles from our domestic
manufactories. It is, however, presamed, that the re-
venue will continue to be augmented by the proposed
alterations in the tariff until the public debt shall have
been redeemed ; after which the public 'eruditely, be
time of peace, will he diminished to the event *Utile
sinking fund, which is, at present, g 10,000,000. liat if,
cons rat y to present anticipations, the proposed augmen-
tation of duties should. before the public debt be redeem-
ed, produce a diminution of the revenue arising (rout
thelimpertation of thi--earticles a corresponding„if not
a greater, augmentation may be confidently expected
upon other articles imported into the United States,
This supposition rests upon the two-fold conviction, that
foreign articles, nearly equal to the value of the domes-
tic exports, will be Imported and consumed ; sad that
the substirutioa of particular classes of domestic articles
fqr those of foreign nations not only doeanot mere/only
diminish the value of domestic importer bat useidlyltkiwiti
to increase the value.
The desks upon various other articles net UMW/ de-
gree ooneeeted alit our domestic isiasery, way.like-
wise, be increased with a view to the itegmeetattos of
the public revenue.—lf the existing tariff shall, during
the present session of Congress, be judiciously revised
fur the purpose of augmenting tba revenue, it is confi-
dently believed that it will not only be amply sufficient
to defray all the drmsuds upon the treasury at present
authorised by law, but that there will remain an annual
surplus, subject to such disposition, for the proino•
tiou of the public wellore, as the wisdom of Congress
may direct.
Under the art of the 20th of April line, authorising
the exchange of certain portions of the public debt for
five per cent. stock, 556,7114,77 only have been exchang-
ed. The increased demand for capital, for the prosecu-
tion of commercial enter ices during the present year,
and the rise in the rate of interest, consequent upon that
demand, which were not anticipated at the time that
the measure was proposed, have prevented its execution.
i Existing circumstances do noteauthorise the conclusion,
that a measure of this nature will be more Successful
, du ring the next year. If the price of the public debt, id
1825, should be as high as it is at present, any portion
of it redeemable at the pleasure of the government,
which should be unre.leemed is that and subsequent
, years, after the appiicalion of the sinking fund, to Clot
object, may be advantageously exchanged for stock re-
, deemable at such periods as to give full operation to the

A few days ago, after the commencement of the pre-

prisoner to his sty, was let out fur the purpose of being
cleaned, and his bed replenished. On opening the sty
door he anticipated the purpose of his liberation by
running to the stable, from which he carried,one byonr,
two Aimee, of straw to his sty, bolding them in his
mouth by the band. The straw being intended for an-
other purpose, he was nut allowed to retain it, and it
was carried hack to the stable; but Porctts seizing an-
