In obedience to the direftions of the aft fupple mem ary to the aft. entitled “ An aft to elUbllh the treasury department” the secretary of liic iieafur) refpeftfu ly fubmittthe.following report : The permanent revenue* of the United States, rr. clidively of fees fines and penalties, which in a gene ral view of the fiibjeft may be omitted, coufifi of du - tie* on merchandise and tonnage, proceed* oi the lales of public lands, and duties on postage. The du’ies on pollage which were, in the annua’ report of hdl year edimated at 50CJOP.dollars, have, during the vear ending on the 2 Jth September lall, y v cldrd 50500 dollais. fine decrease of (hip leitrr*, the extension of the ettablifnment through unproduc live road* ar.d the acceleration oi the progrds of the trail may, however, c.aufe Come defalcation in the re •ceiptu of the er.futng year. Three hundred and twenty-fix thousand and fifty two dollars and eight cents, have been received dur Sngthefame year, on account of public lands ; of which sum 1765 dollars and 5G cents were paid in the treasury in evidences of the public debt, & 1 jrj 575 dollars and fifty two cent* in . (p**ci The iocai ii uation of the land ofiiccs not having rendered it pra&itahh to draw the balances from ihe receivers of public monies. Three hundred and forty thousand acres have been folcFfor lilt hundred and eighty thousand dollars dur ing the vear ending on the 3111 day of Oftjber /alt —of which quantity near ninety (even thousand acre were fold on accrynt ot preemption* claiii cd t>y pur clvafers under johnCleves Simines and two-hundred and forty-three thousand acres are the relult of cur rent (ales. The annexed (latement (A) designates the quantities rcfprftivtly fold in the several dillricts & the annua! payments receivable on account of t ,e ba lance of nine bundled and sixty thouf.iml dollars due on these and the preceding files. From these preceding refults.it appears probable, that the annual receipts under this head, will not, on an average, tail short of the (urn ol four hundred thousand dollars. at which theyha.e been eirimated. Although it had been anticipated that the receip.s lu the trealury, on account of duties on mcrcha.mliie *ud tonnage, * could not fer the present year he afFeftrc ov the rftloration of peace in Europe ; yet the (uni already paid has exceeded the molt ianguine exprfta ions. Twelve millions two hundred and cigli ty (lioufind dollars have been ’ received during the ye ar ending the SOih ot September latt ; a sum larger b> two million ot dollars, than the amount received fertile fame duties during the preceding or any Other year; and which exceeds by twelve hundred tho.il and dollars, the aggregate heretofore co’slefted, in aiiy one year, on account of both the impolt and internal duties, repealed by an aft of the la(l lefiion. This excess which had roth'cn calculated upon, is considered alone as amply fuflicient to cover any de falcation, which might during the next and enluin? year, reduce that branch ol the revenues below lad } ear’s etitnv.itr of nine millions five hundred thou find dollars. Such defalcation iw not however, apprehend ed; for although there are not fifiiclent data, orecit** ly to aicertaiti the efiYft ol per.ee on the amount of duties t ,v ofe which are in the pofihssion of this dc partment tend cormhc.i a*e Ihe pnTimp'ton, that that sum at leait (nine millions and anh it w ill here •fter be annual) - received Ihe U icn'-e; ts B • whico exhibits a comparative view of that revenue, lor each quarter during the last two years, (hows fat the a mount of duties accrued during the nine fir'd months o the prelent ve.tr, exceeds eleven millions three hundred thousand coil?rs : aid after uedufting threr millions five hundred thousand dollars, amourt ot dr. bentnres ifliied during the fame period, on account, o’ the tr-exportations of foreign Roods leaves f.>r thru three quarters, a balance ot more 1! r..ic-tcx: nv.i!’ cun, eight hundred thousand dollars uKy-ft to no other rie and lift ion than the ol collection : and Ironi the knowledge already obtained of the importations din ing the prelent quarter, as well s* from thr gradual diminution of re-exportations no doubt remains ih.m the belt revenue accruing during the whole year will exceed the eltimate. From present appearances the whole of the perma nent revenues of the United States may be reasonably computed at ten millions of do! im s— of which sum seven millions three hundred thousand dol lars are appropriated for the payment of the princi pal and interest f the public debt, and two millions leven hundred thousand dollars are applicable to the current e pences of government. According: to the estimates for the year I3o3,thefe exigences w ill exclusively of a sum of 180000 and ■wanted to cover the navy deficiencies ot the year 1801 and 1802. but including sundry permanent ap propriations which make no part of th* annual clti otafpx. amount to 2660000 dollars, to writ : For the ciul department and all da* meflic expetjees of a civil nature 680000 For expences attending the inter com le with foreign ration*, in •luding prize causes and B-rbry powers, 250000 j For the military and Indian depart ments, 830000 From the naval eftabiifhment, calcu lated on a fupuotution that fix fri gates P'all bn kept in cooiiant cm* ploymtm, • 900000 2660000 Neither the payments du* op aeceunt rs the con vention with Great Britain, and which will for three years amount annually to eight hundred a d eighty eight thoufaud dollars, nor the infiallirent and inte rests due on account of the Sooooo dollars loan oh’ Gained from the state of Meryland for the City of TVafliington, are included in that calculation ; as they nay be defrayed out of the following rcfources, which make no part of the permanent revenues, viz : Ist. The surplus of specie in the treasury which as the whole amount there will not. at the close of the present year, fall much Ihort of five million of dollars, ♦kr exceed the sum which it is prudent to keep. 2ndty. *1 he uncoilr&ed arrears of the dirc£fc tax estimated at four hundred thousand dollars. 1 And, Fire ouift:i.ung uocoiiettcd iMieruai duties, amounting to near 7 hundred ihou *nd doll if . The only embarrafment experienced during thr comde of 2 ast year, arufe from the difficult/ of procur ing the remittances nec. fTiry to meet the infialments ot the debts due in Holland. The impoffihility ot ob taining bills 0.1 that country, to ihe amount wanted by government, and the I T* which, on tiie account ot the rare of exchange, mull he incurred by remitting circuitoufiy thro’ England, induced the secretary of the trcafury to recommend, in a report to the commis sioners of the finking fund, (marked G) a recourse r> bank flock as tlie moll favorable mode of remitting. Os the five thousand (hares in the Itock of the bar.k of the United States, originally fublcribed by tlie U. states, 2730 (hares had been fold in the year 1796, by virtue of the aft, entiiled “an aft making provision ! for the payment ofeertaio debts of the Uoi'ec* states” and lor the purpose ot difeharging part of the debt due to the bank. The remain’ng 2‘220 (liares were no* under the fiime authority fold at 4> percent aclv.iiiie the 1 £87600 dollars which they produced, were in conformity to the provisions of the faicl aft, applied to wards difeharging an equil amount of that parr of rht rk-br which h-d become due to r+.ebank or dur ing the year 1796; and the pnreftifer of ti.ieflock fld at the fame time, to the treafurv an equal sum in bills on Holland at 4l cents per guilder ; the securing o’ which Urge amount at that rate was the inducemen’ on the part ol government 10 dispose of he bank Hock on those terms. As the dividend usu dly re ceived on the bank (lock fold and the annual ilitere-it payable on the debr due to the hank thus extinguifh cd, were nearly equal, the July half \earlv dividend’ on the do k was in fact the premium piid *or the pur pose of rHefting the re pittance ; and government has thereby been enabled to obtain, without railing ihe price of exchange, the whole amount wanted to meet the payments due in Holland, till the month of S p tember lßo^.
