drawn from time to time, in order to difcharge
the public expenditures, and have ALTO fome-
times been transferred, as the public fervice re-
fquired, from one part of the union to another,
and from one bank to another; 70 that the bal
auces, actually depofited in the feyeral banks,
have huc.uated from week to week, and from
day to day; 4 circumftance which renders it
impra6icable, without great delay, to give a
prscife Gatement from which to deduce the
average balances or permanent depofts in each
bank.
That the annexed table exhibits the balances
which were actually depoGted in each bank,
on the lat days of every quarter of the three
years aforefaid, being the days on which the
Treafurer's accounts are periodically rettled by
the accounting officers of the treafury; but that
the largef regular payments being made by the
treafury towards the end of each quarter, it
follows, that the balances, particularly in the
bank of the United States and its branches, have
generally been greater than is there exhibited.
And that taking that table as the BATS on
which to form an Ultimate, it appears that the
average balances in the feyeral banks, in which
public monies are now depofited, which bal
anees may he con6dered as the permanent pub
lie depofits in fuch banks, have, for each Of the

We are informed by gentleman who left
Columbia latt Friday evening, that the Legilla-
ture was to adjourn the following morning, af-
ter having done little other bulinefs OF irnoor-
lance, than pafiing the Tax Bill. The Bill TO
prohibit the importation of Negroes had been
loft in the Senate, and the Bill for eftabllhing
a Penitentiary, had two readings in the Senate
and was then laid over. 1t was fnppofed that
nothing would be done on Saturday but fgning
the Bills.

the merchandise fuppofed tc be Britifh, was
con6fcated. The general opinion in Germany,
was, that the battle was by no means decihve;
that the fate of Pruffia did not hang on 70 flen-
der thread that a great and powerful people,
affettionately attached to their fovcreign and to
their laws, cannot be conquered until the whole
of them are extinct that the people appear
to be united in their hatred and detetation of
Bonapartc's conduct, and equally as determin-
ed, to perth beneath the ruins of their coun-
try, rather than to yield to the tyrant, and be-
come applicants at the foot OF the Jumpers
throne.
In addition to the flies of Hamburg papers
which we received ON Sunday, to the sOth Oct.
we laR evening received, by the brig Ann and
Efzsbefh, file OF 4fItena papers to the fame
date. BY thefe papers we find that the Prince
of Hatfield had publiihed, in Berlin, on the

mand of his excellency the Count of Schulem-
burg, would Withdraw from that city, as it was
probable the French would foon enter it. He
called upon the citizens to form a national
