revenue derived from customs will. il
IS believed. be more than twenty eight |
ana the public lands, will
yield about three millions. The ex-
penditures within the year for all OBJ
lects, including S2,572,2fO 80 OH ac-
count of the public debt, will not a.
mount TO twenty-five millions; aud a
large balance will remain in the Trea-
sury after satisfying all the appropria-
lions chargeable On the revenue for
he present year.
The measures taken by the Seccc.a.
