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.

On the first of January, 1826, a hu ge a-
mouut of debt incurred by the late war. viz:
19,500,01)0 of tho nix per cent, stock of the
year 1813, will ho redeemable. As it is not
probiiUle iliac die surplus mn«>» .ctL. r —.-
1826 will be more than equal the amount
of the sinking fund for that year, only
7,uot),000 of that slock can be dischargi d
out of the ordinary revenues of the year.—
On the 1st of Jauury. 1827, the 6 per cents
of 1814, another portion of the war dent
amounting to 13,000,000, will become re
deemable ; and, in that year, also, it
is probable that not mure than 7,000,000 of
the principal can be discharged. There w ill
then remain in those two years 18.000,000,
which cuinnot be paid out of tuc revenue ol
those two years. In 1828, the union.H of
principal redeemable will probably not ex
ceed the means ef the Ticviaury. In the
years 1829 and 1830, no par! of the public
debt is redeemable, »i*d. in 1831, loss man

In the fourth quarter of tho

will be added, in four and a
half per cent, stock, under

reasons already slated, it may be presumed,
that, indeprndant of any influence which
the new tarilf may have upon the revenue,
the amount which will be received into the
Treasury from customs during the yeur
1825, will be about equal to that sum.
The operation of the new tariti upnn the
revenue cannot, now, he correctly estima
ted. On one .important hrknehof imports,
those from bavond the Cape of Good Hope,
its provisions'will not take effect until tlie
l-i of January next. As it is only since the
1st ol July last that it lias been in opera
tion in regard to other importations, and us
the collectors arc allowed, by law, three
the excess ofthodebt on tic 1st of January,
1828, may beborr-wed at 5 per cent, reim
bursable in 1!>2U, and lt.Jtl. And, if such
an arrangement is approved, it is respect
fully proposed tlml authority be given bv
law lor that purpose.
Tlie same object might, perhaps, he ac
complished by an exciiaitge uf the slock re
deemable on tile 1st of January, 11:26, for a
■5 percent, stock, redeemable "in III-23 and
1838. But, it is believed that better terms
may be obtamed by a loan. A proposal tor

wholp amount of importations during the
third quarter ofthe year 1H23, was 211.36 ;
and, (luring the corresponding quarter of
the year 1H24, it was 30|98 per cent. But,
it is to be observed that, in the third quar
ter of 1824, the importations from beyond
the Cape of good Hope were not subject to
the increased rate ofthe new tariff'. Tlicse
it is estimated, would have made the rale
ot duties in that quarter 31.40 per cent.:
which iv equal to an increase, upon the a-
mount of duties, of 7.57 per cent. Tile
new tariff may, perhaps, have some effect

On Saturday last, being the first day ef tie
year, the ditors of the. President’s Home
were thrown open, in conformity with bug
established custom, for the rcceplion ofslj
classes ofpersons who desired to avail tVm-
sclves of the opportun ity of offering comp'.i-
inents to our venerable and most excellent
Chief Magistrate. On no similar occasion
have we witnessed such an eager press of
citizens and distinguished srrongers, all
anxious to get a lust shake of thu hand, cr*
last look at tho Purtnwoil *1 e arc won, chests
of our last Revolutionary Fresideut. The
visitors began to assemble at 1 o’clock, tnd
from that hour until after 3, notwitlistind-
ingthe inclemency ofthe weather, tlienin
descending during the whole time in torirnt*
there was a constant succession of newer-
rivals. The President, wc rejoice to kv,
socius to he in excellent health and spi(ts,
which wo fervently pray may be long un
turned to him.
Chrittmni, Police, S(C—That all rt ligjn*
are tolerated by the laws is true ; but Lt
exactly by public opinion. VSekiol tin-
ford, came to complain of Terry O’RouTe.
He was sawing a load of wood in his «>*-
tion, patiently and horn ally, on Clirhtnu
day, because wood is necessary on Chrivt-
mas, which always i'«U« j n , Tent
was coming from church, and swore thc
no man should work on Christmas, by th*
powers he would nut tolerate such tlonga.
so he despoiled poor Zekiclof his buck aid
saw, throw the wood about, ami Hays, Juni
interfering and arresting Terry, he was rc»
cued by his companions, but after sundr
bustlings he succeeded in securing his mar
ami lodging him in Bridewell. Terry swor
that there was no freedom in this countn
in locking up a inuu because he protects
religion.—vY. F. Abt. -Id?.
