mounted to S7,501,45G IS; which, how
ever, includes the sum of 1922, 400
paid under the 10Th article of the treaty
with Mexico, and the further sum of
$2,591,3l3 45, being the amount of

late treaty with Mexico, for which the
issue of stock was authorized, but which
was paid in cash from the Treasury.
The public debt on the Goth ultimo,
exclusive of the stock authorized to be
issued to Texas by the act of 9th Sep
TENDER, 1880, was 500, 800, 295 %.
The receipts for the next fiscal year
are estimated at $51, 100000, which
with the probable unappropriatcd bal
ance in the Treasury, on the goth June
next, will give, as the probable available
means for that year, the sum OF $G3,-
25S, 743 90.
1t has been deemed proper, in view of
the large expenditures consequent upon
the acquisition of territory from Mexico,
that the estimates for the next fiscal
year should be laid before Congress in
such a manner as to distinguish the cx-
penditnres so required from the other
wise ordinary demands upon the Urea.

The total expenditures for the next
fiscal year are estimated at S42, $50 ,299-

ordinary purposes Of the Government,
other than those consequent upon the

In the views of the Secretary Of the
Treasury in reference to the expendi-
lures required for these Territories shall
be met BY corresponding action on the
part OF Congress, and appropriations
made in accordance Herewith there
will be an estimated unapproprated bal
ancr IN the Treasury on the Both June,
1859, Of 500, 1856, lab 30, wherewith to
meet that portion Of the public debt due
on the first July following, amounting
to $6,237, S3l 35, as well as any appro-
priations which may be made beyond
the estimates.
In thus referring to the estimated ex-
pendtures on account of our newly-ac-
CURED Territories, | may express the
hope that Congress will concur with me
in the desire that liberal course of vol.
icy muy be pursued towards them, and
that every obligation, express or implied,
entered into in consequence of their ac-
QUESTION, shall be fulfilled bv the most
liberal appropriations for that purpose.
The values of our domestic exports
for the last fiscal year, as compared with
those OF the previous year, exhibit an
increase Of 'S43, 646, 322. At first view,
this condition of our trade with foreign
nations, would seem to present the most
tlattering hopes OF its future prosperity.
An examination OF the details of our en-
ports, however, will show that the in
creased value of our exports for the last
fiscal year is to be found in the high price
of cotton which prevailed during the
first half fthat year, which price has
since declined about one-half.
