In aiverting to the present condit-
ion Of onr fiscal concernss and 10 the
prospects, Of our revenue, tbe,first re
marx that calls our attention, is,, that
they. are less exuberantly prosperous
than they were at the corresponding
period Of the last year. The severe
shock so extensively sustained by the
commercial aud manufacturing in.er-
ests in Great Britain, has not bees
without a percep'ible recoil upon our
selves. A reduced importation from
ahroab is neces ssa-ily succeeded by q
reduced return to the treasury at home
The act revenue of the present year
viii not equal that Of the last. And
the receipts Of thai which is to come,
will fall short of those in the current
year. The diminution. however. is in
part attributable to the floorishing con.
dition Of some Of our domestick manu-.
Z factureres, and so far is compensated
by an equival snt more, profitable to the
NATION. It is also highly gratifying to
perceise. fiat the deficiency in the
revenue, while it scarcely exceeds the
anticipations Of the last years estimates
from the treasury. has not interrupted
the application Of more than eleven
millions during the present year, to the
discharge OF the principal and interest
OF the debt. nor the reduction Of up
wards Of seven millions of the capital
debt itself. The balance ir the treas-

were nineteen millions Eve hundred and
eighty five Thousand nine hupdrcd and
thirty-two dollars and fifty Cents. The
receip's ofthe current quarter, estima-
ted six millions Of dollars, yield. with
the snm already received, a revenue
OF about twenty-five millions and a half
