IMPORTS.

Thus it seems that notw outstanding the amount Of
goods is less the duties more which is not unfa
vorable news for the country, inasmuch as we have
less, by two millions and quarter, TO pay for.
The exports of the two years so near alike, that
the small difference is unimportant.
Although these statements are made for this port
alone, and therefore do not give the result of the
whole country, yet it will be reco lected that nearly
two-thirds of the revenue collected here, and that
full that proportion Of the value of imports received
at this port, New York trade, therefore, forms a
pretty good guide for the whole country.
