REPORT
OF THI SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
.#
Jn obe lienee to the direction* of the act , supplementary to the act , intituled
“An act to establish the Treasury Department)” the Secretary of tly Treasury
respectfully submit* the following
REPORT AND ESTIMATES:
THE nett revenue arising from dute* on merchandize and tonnage which accrued during
the year 1806, amounted to - - 16,61,5 430
And that which accrued during the year 1807, amounted, as will appear by
the statement (A) to ' 16,059,492
The same revenue, after deducting that portion which arose from the duty * {
on salt and from the additional duties constituting the Mediterranean fund,
amounted during the year 1806, to - - - *■ . • 14,818,784
And during the 1807, - .’14,375,855
But it is ascertained that the nett revenue which accrued tßuing the three lirst quarters of *
the vea -1808, did not exceed eiglit millions of dollars, and is daily decreasing.
The statement (B) exhibits in detail the several species of merchandise and other sources
from waich that revenue was collected during the year 1807.
It appears by the statement (Cl that the sales of the public lands have, during the year
ending c*. SOih of September, 1808, amounted to about 200,000 acres; and the" payments
by pur- V.sers to near 550,000 dollars. The proceeds of sales in the Miasislppi territory, be
ing, alter deducting the surveying a.id other incidental expences, appropriated in the first
place to the payment of a sum of 1,250,000 dollars to the State of Georgia, arc distinctly
stated.
It appears by the statement (D) that the payments on account of the ; incipal of the pub
lic debt, have, during the same period, amounted to only 2,.125,000 uoi::ns. Bin the pay
ments from the treasury for the annual reimbursement of the six per cent, and .<■ i
stocks, and for the final reimbursement of the 8 per cent, stock v ill (exclusively of a um of
730,00(1 dollars already in tin- hands of the treasurer as agent Fur the commissioners c; ti u
sinking fund) amount, during the last quarter of this vtar, to 53; ,000 dell, is: Mad h:r the
total of public debt reimbursed from the Ist of April, 1? 01, to «h** in; of January. 18 ;9, about
thirty-three millions six hundred thou and dollars, exclusively o! iik.it than six mi! - i.. panl
during the same period, in conformity wi'h the. provisions of the treaty and convention v.i.li
Great-Britain, and of the LouLiaoa convention.
The public debt will, on ti e first day of January, 1809, anlotmt to 56,647,663 do.iari,
consisting of the following items:
Old six per cent, stock,
nominal amount, 20,706,603 22, unredeemed jg 1 ] ,919,877 57
Deferred stock, do. 11 717,476 92, do. - - - 9,"06,627 08
New six per cent, stuck exchanged di par for eld six and deferred, 5,993,343 50
New six do. do. arising from conversion of three per cunt, stock at 65
new iix for 100 three per cent, stock, - - - 1,859,770 7Q
1796, six per cent, stock, - - - - 80,000
Louisiana do. - - • - - - - 11,250,000
Total six par cent, stock, .... 40,439 61,3 35
Three per cent, stock, ... . 76, iV, 4>
56,64/',665 27
The interest on the whole debt and the annual reimbursement on the six pier cent, and de
ferred 6tocks, will, f/r the ensuing year, amount to 4,226,000 dollars, leaving, in ord/jr to
complete the annual appropriation of 8,000,000 of dollars, a sum of 3,774 000 dollars, appli
cable to the reimbursement of the new exchanged six percent, stock. The whole of that
and of the other new six per cent, arising from the conversion <f three tier cent, stock, »-
mounting together to 7,853,000 dollars, would thus be reimbursed within two years. And
after the first day of January, 1811, the whole annual amount payable on account of interest
and anriKti reimbursement, could not, during the seven en.uing years, exceed 56,000 dol
lars. But under existing circumstances, it is believed that tlte reimbursement of that new six
per cent, stock will be nominal, and must be effected by incurring a new debt to an equal
amount.
The actual receipts into the treasury during the year ending on the 30th September, 1808
as they principally arose from the revenue accrued during the preceding yen (and the pay.
merits on account of drawbacks having been diminished by the embargo,) have been greater
than those of any preceding jear, and amounted to - - 17,952,419 90
And the specie in me treasury on the Ist October, 1807, amounted to
Making together .... 26,481,992 98
* -
The disbursements during the same period have amounted to % 12,655,275 46, consisting
of the following items.
Civil department and miscellaneous expenses. 1,258,967 1 8
Foreign intercourse and payment of American claims assumed
by the Louisiana convention, - - 406,499 37
Military and Indian departments, including fortifications and
the expenses of the new army, - - - 3,023,759 55
Naval department, including the appropriation of dollars
677,064 47, to cover the deficit of the preceding year, -2,257,064 47
Public debt, principal and interest (the greater part of tht
payments for the year 1808, falling as aheady stated in
the last quarter) have amounted only to - 3,688,984 89
Leaving a balance in the treasury on the 30th September,
1808, of------ - 13,846,717 52
% 26.481,992 98
The -cash in the hands of collectors and receivers, and the
outstanding revenue bonds, which will almost altoge
ther fall due prior to the first of January, 1810, may,
after deducting the debentures yet unpaid, and the cx
penses of collection, he estimated to have amounted,
on she 30th September, 1808, to 10,500,000
Making, together with the balance ki the treasury on that
dav of ..... 13,846,600
An aggregate of-- - - 24,346,000
Although the expenses of the present quarter cannet at present be precisely
ascertained, they will not, including the reimbursement of 5,576,000 dollars,
on account of the principal of the public debt, exceed - 8,316,009
Leaving on the Ist day of January, 1809, a sum 16,CQ0,0-9
of sixteen millions of dollars in cash or bond* payable during 'he year 18(>9, and applicable
to the expenses of that year. It is presumed that the receipt* o.ri.sitig from importations and
payments for lands subsequent to the 3oth September, 18 .8. v. ;ii 01 be greater than the de
ductions on account of bad debts and of the extension of credit on senate articles. -
The expenses of the year 1809, would, according to the api r< pria ic.ns already made, and
to the usual annual estimates, amount to thirteen millions ol cii.eoiiy.stkg ol the lol
follovving items: —
I. Civil list and miscellaneoms expenses, - - 9d0,800
