Di dueling from the whole amount of duties outstanding on bonds and otherwise, an th«* 30tli of Sept, last, the debentures actually c.liargeabb; up on them and the bonds in suit, it is estima ted, that the sum payable after the expira tion of the present yeur, will be ubuut §12,- 200,000. Ti is amount, however, is sub ject to debentures which may si ill be issued —but, as an u'iownnce has already b' ,n n made for those which are now chargeable upon i’, no considerable deduction on that account is to he expected. A portion of the amount, also, is not payable until IH2C; but the residue, together with so much of the duties accruing in the 4th quarter of tho present, and in the wlmlc of the next year, as may be received during that year, will, after deducting the expenses of collection, constitute the receipts from the customs during the year 1825. Tho productiveness of the customs, how ever, depends upon the state of the foreign commerce of the nation. It is estimated that, in the year ending on the 30th of Sep tember last, the value of domestic articles exported was §19,684.710 ; which exceeded by §2,529,302, the amount exported in the preceding year ; and that the value offor- •4an artirW exported whs §25,248,782 ; which was less, by $2,294,840, Hum the a- mouut exptfjrtod in the preceding year. The value ofimports, during the same period, is estimated at §78,516,183; which exceeds the imports of the preceding year by §9.16,- For three years past the average annual value ofimports has be»;ii§79,?78,: , !'7 ; that of foreign articles exported 25,026,201; and that ofd'um'stic articles exported §13,- 901.732. The little fluctuation that has ta ken place in those years, and the improve ment in the hist year, may be regarded as indications that the connmrce of the coun try is tending to u regular ami sound state. If no extraordinary events should occur to interrupt it. it is reasonable to infer that there will be no material or unfavorable change in the ensuing year.
