The Committee of Finance made their re-
port to the House on Saturday It concludes
thus:
Your committee communicate with great
pleasure the improving state of the finances
of government, that the taxes though light &
Inconsiderable, are commensurate with all
the necessary purposes OF government
Your committee also feel satisfaction In
stating, that the ADVERTISEMENTS heretofore
experienced by the treasury, arising from the
temporary deficiencies of our resources, have
in no instance been felt during the last year.
The cause of embarrassment has been gra-
dually diminishing for some time past, and
your committee feel confidence that it will
be entirely removed in few years, without
additional taxes.
Your committee suggest the propriety OF
charging the literary fund with such sums OF
money, as May hereafter be demanded ofthe
treasury untlcr any existing law, for the ex-
pense OF the prosecution Of any fine, foriei-
ture, penalty, escheat, or any other claim,
which if recovered would be applied to the
literary fluid
Resolved, as the opinion ofthis committee,
that it is unnecessary to raise the taxes tor the
present year.
