According to the monthly report Of the Urea
sury Department for August, it appears that tn
amount of money in the hands of the Assistan
Treasurers and in the different minis, wa
$3,727 ,05l. This comprises the whole available
capital Of the government. The other resources
are not so tangible, but are, however, available
at short notice.
1t appears by the report of the register of the
Treasury, that the whole amount of treasury
notes outstanding on the lst instant, was $l5,
SOS, 439 81, of this more than fourteen millions
were Of the issue authorized under the act Of
January %, lS47, leaving but about nine millions
of the amount authorized yet to be issued. The
resources of the Government to carry on the
war, from this to the time Congress convenes,
are pretty well reduced, and unless something
is done to lessen the expenditures, there will be
deficiency before ways aNd means can be pro-
vided for raising more money.
The expenditures of the government during
the past year have been about one million OF dol
lars per week, and there is every probability OF
the expenses continuing at this rate so long as
the same policy is pursued in carrying on
the war, which has marked its progress thus
far. 1t is full twelve weeks from this to the
meeting of Congress, which, with the two weeks
elapsed since the financial reports alluded to
were made, make period of fourteen weeks,
equal to an expenditure of at least fourteen MIL
lions of dollars. 1t is impossible to make an es-
innate, with any degree of correctness, as to the
amount of revenue likely to be received from
customs from the LIST of September to the LIST OF
December, but we do not anticipate an income
of more than five millions from that source.
The aggregate resources OF the government
from all sources, upto the LIST of December, with
the amount of funds now on hand, will not vary
much from eighteen millions of dollars, and the
expenditures, for the same period, we estimate
at fourteen millions. This will leave surplus OF
four millions; every cent of which will, without
doubt, be expended before Congress gets ready
to provide ways and means to carry. on the war.
We are rapidly running up respectable sized
debt On the LIST of December, l847, the aggregate
amount of the debt of the general government
will not vary much from sixty millions OF dol
lars the annual interest of which will amount
to pretty handsome sum. If our Indebtedness
was arrested at that point, there would be no
cause for apprehension, but we see no immedi-
ate prospect of any suspension of our extraOrdi-
nary expenditures. Millions must be piled upon
millions to almost an unlimited extent; and it
becomes matter for serious consideration, whe-
Their we shall not soon be compelled to submit to
a material alteration in our commercial system,
for the purpose of providing for the payment of
the interest on the immense debt we are rapidly
creating.
