Os the Estimates of the Public Revenue and Expenditure for the year 1 822. The diminution of the revenue from imports and tonnage, which .occurred in 1819, advanced with progressive force through 1820, and reached its lowest point of de pression in the first quarter of the present yejir. The duties secured in that quarter were 727,000 dol 1 irs less than (hose ofthe coirespou ding quarter of 1820 ; whilst the amount secured in tho second and third quarters exceeded that of the same j oriod of ihc preceding year by 1,172,000 dollars ; thus present ing, on the 30;h of last, an aggregate excess of 445,000 dol lars, for the three first quarters cl 1821, which sum, there is just rea son to believe, will be considerably augtnented id the end ofthe year. W hilst the duties have progres sively increased, the debentures clmrgeablq upon tliein have consi derably diminished : the amount of debentures issued from the first of January to the B('th of September last, being 952,000 loss than was is sued during the same period of the preceding year. The same causes which, in 1819 and 1820, effected so great a redac tion ofthe revenue arising from urn ports and tonnage, were felt in an equal degree in the Side of the pub lic lands, Those who, from an an ticipation of Ihtir resources previ ously to those years, were unable to purchase foreign merchandise, were equally incapable of purchas ing public lands, or of discharging debts contracted with the govern ment by purchases antecedently made. in the animal report ofthe Trea sury at the commencement of the l ist session of Congress, the receipt ft mu the public lands for the year 18.21 were estimated at 1,600 000 dollars, if no change should he made by law affecting (lie obligations which the purchasers were then under to be punctual in their pay ments. But, at the close of that session, an act was passed for the relief of the purchasers of public lands, which so far impaired that obligation as to induce the Commit tee of Ways and Means to estimate the proceeds of that source of re venue at onh Soo,odo dollars, it has been show n, however, that the receipts tc the 80th of Septemuer last have exceeded 940. 1 00 dollars ; and those ofthe whole y ear are now estimated at 1,300,080 dollars. This result in relation to the pub lie lauds, and the improvement which has taken place in the reve nue arising from imports and ton nage. indicate a favorable change in the condition of the nation ; from which a progressive increase of the public revenue may be confidently anticipated. / Independently, however, of any such increase, the facts disclosed by the fiscal operations of the year, some of which have been enumerat ed, warrant the conclusion, That the receipt* ofthe year 1822 may be estimated at $’6,110,000 CO Viz. Customs, 14,800,000 00 Public kinds, l ,60U,00n 00 flank dividends, 350,1/00 00 A itchrs ol direct tax and internal duties, 75,000 00 Moneys recovered out of advances made in the War Department, be fore the Ist July 1815, 60.000 00 Incidental receipts, 2a,u00,00 The expenditures of the year 1822 are estimated at $14,947,661 80 Viz ; Civil, diplomatic, and miscellaneous, 1,664,297 00 Public debt, 5,722,957 01 Military service, in cluding fortifications, ordnance, Indian de partment, revolu- > tionary and military pensions arming the the militia, and ar rearages prior to the Ist 6f January, 1917, 5,108,097 62 Naval service, inclu ding the gradual in crease of tho navy, 2,452,110 27 The receipts ofthe year will, therefore, exceed the t-slimrded expendi ture, by $1,162,338 20 Which, after discharging the dif ference between the balance in the Treasury on the Ist of January, 1822, and the balance of appropria tions chargeable upon it, will leave in the Treasury, on the Ist of Jan-- uaiy, 1823, a balance estimated at $671,375 50. It is, however, proper to state, that, iu the estimate for the naval service, only $200,000 ofthe annu al appropriation of $500,000 for the gradual increase of the navy is in eluded; but that, of the amount estimated by the Secretary of War, a sum larger than the balance of that appropriation as for arrearages for revolutionary pensions and the Indian deparVient, which will not be embraced in the estimates for the year 1823. The expenditure of the two suc ceeding years, it is believed, will not exceed that of the year 1822, unless a further expenditure shall,' in the intermediate *iine, he aethor- ; *eij by law. But, in the expendi ture year 1522, arrJ also ol 182.5 and -Oil-., - .-fiaf the annual appropriation or SIO,OUO,Ouo u.. ,stitutmg the sinking fund, is com prehended, except what is necessa ry to discharge the interest of tSie public debt, ami the reimbursement of the six per cent, deferred stock. On the Ist of January, 1825, and the three succeeding years, the debt contracted during the years 1812, ISIS, 1814. and 1815, becomes redeemable at the will of the gov ernment. These sums greatly ex ceed the amount of the sinking fund applicable in those years to the re demption of the public debt. As the current value of the live per -cent, stock, created during the last and present years, exceeds thin of the seven per cent, stork, and of the six percent, stock of!Cl2 and 1813, it is presumed that the ladders of those stocks will be disposed to exchange them for an equal amount of five percent, stock, redeemable at such periods as to give full ope ration to the sinking fund, as at present constituted. According to tI.H view of the subject, $24,000,- 0. 0 of the storks which will be ro j deemable in the years 1825 and 1826, may be exchanged for five per cent, stock, redeemable, one third on the Ist of January, 1831. and one third on the same days of 1832 ams 1833. This exchange of six per cent- stock, if effected on the Ist of January, 1823, will pro duce an annual reduction of the in terestfof the public debt, from that time to the first mentioned period, of $240,000, and an aggregate sav ing. through the whole period, of $2,1C0 000. If the whole of the seven percent, stock should be ex changed, the saving wilt be con siderably increased. If sitch an exchange of stock should be deemed inexpedient or impracticable, a saving of equal, if not greater extent, may he effected in the years 1825, 1826, 1827, and 1828 by borrowing, at the rate of five per cent, in the first and each successive year, a sum equal to the difference between the amount re deemable. and that portion of the Sinking Fund, applicable to its re demption ; the five per cent, stock, so created, to be redeemable at such periods as to give full operation to (be Sinking Fund, until the whole ofthe public debt shall be redeemed, if (he five per cent, stock shall, during those years, be above par, a saving beyond that proposed to be effected by the exchange of stock in 1822 will be secured, to the extent of that difference, by the latter pro iess. But, it is possible, that the pro gross! ye increase of the revenue, which has been anticipated, and w hich is necessary to the full opera (ion ofthe Sinking Fund, may not !>■ realized. In that event, the publn expenditure authorized by law may. after the Ist of January, 1825, ex coed the public revenue. The remedy in such case must be—lst, an increase ofthe public revenue by an addition to the ex isting impositions ; or, 2d, a reduc tion ofthe Sinking Fund. First. A general revision and correction ofthe duties imposed up on foreign merchandise seem to be required. Many of the articles which pay hut fifteen per cent, ad valorem, ought, in justice as well as policy, to be pl aced at twenty-five per cent, which is the duty paid up on the principal articles of woollen and cotton manufacture*. The same observation is applicable to some of the articles which pay twenty per cent, ad valorem. A correction of the existing duties, with « view to an increase of tite public revenue, could hardly fail to effect that object to the extent of neatly 1,000.000 dollars annually, It is highly probable, however, than an increase of duty on some of those articles might eventually cause a reduction of the revenue ; but this can only take place where similar articles are manufactured in the country. In that event, do mestic manufactures will have been fostered, and the general ability of the community to contribute to the public exigencies will have been proportionality increased. Second. If it should he deemed expedient to reduce the Sinking Fund, in preference to the imposi tion of additional duties, it may be satisfactory to know that all annual appropriation for that object of .(1.000,000 dollars, commencing on the first of January, 1825, will ex tinguish the whole of the public debt, exclusive of the three per cent stock, in the year 1839- Should the Sinking Fund be reduced to 8.000. dollars, an exchange of 30.000. dollars of six per cent for five percent, stock may be es fected in the course of the year 1822, if *he present price ofthe lat ter stock should continue, without diminishing, in any degree the ope ration of that fund, in the redemp tion of the public debt. Such an exchange would reduce the interest annually 3(30,000 dollars.
