The internal taxes altogether, produced but a very jmall ftura, then ft they afforded ample means for creating party dependants,ami it ought net to pass unnoticed that the present govern ment has voluntarily deprived it [elf of that fce des of influence, which was attached to the pow er if dtfmiffion at pie a fur e over above 1000 persons, including clerks. The internal revenue altogether did net produce more than 900,000 dol lars : of which little more than 600,000 ever went into the treafiay, the difference cf course remained in the lands cf the off dr s employed in ihe allcfhcn,fo that about 30 0000 debars was paid by ihe people to tax-gatherers, and we cammoi forgot what use was made of thier agency under the former cdmtniftration. Tea will, per cii\e also that the retrenchments made in the an nual expenditure as above fated , exceeds ihe gross amount cf the internal taxes, more than 200,000 dollars and mere than the re-urns into the treasury by 500,000 dollars. Hand in hand with theft beneficial regulations and reforms , prevision is made for the appropri ation cf 7,300,000 dollars for ihe difeharge cf the public debt in Lefts than- fix teen years. The alien law puffed in the reign cf terror has been repealed, and a liberal rule cf naturaliza tion adopted , the period being fixed at fiveyears.
