_ ' IN submitting to Cong'ress‘_the Annual Re-
port required bylaw, on the Fittences,_ the
Sect-etary-of tlte Treasury -is‘ happy in being
able to represent them 1'or..tlieTpresent year as
in a satisfactory condition. Whilst other
“countries, and some with which the U. States
M _
.._..
‘maintain extensive dealings, have beheld
‘great branches oftlieir industry, if not alto-
gether prostrated, interrupted to an extent
i-r.rlrit:tive of. high degree of suffering, the
Snit-ed States have experienced within tlle11i--
‘selves - no such calamitous occurrences. and
have been freed from all other except a slight
recoil of-the pecuniary evils which have been
seen to press so heavily in other regions.—
Wlieti adverting to the_complicated coutiex-
ions that bind together the pecuniary inter-
ests of 1‘ominercialStates, having large ex-
changes svith each other,the. reaction from
abroad has been fg less than might have
been expectetl, and‘ has brought with it no
results afilictive to the"coiumunity, or inaus-
picious to the regular operations ‘of the Gov-
ernment. The public obligations have all
been punctually fulfilled, without any increase
oftltepiiblic burdens; and 'National Reve-
ttiic, which derives no aid from the existence
of direct taxes or internal duties of any kind,
but rests upon the customs almost exclusively,
has been unusually abundant, in the sums re-
alised for the year drawing to a close, and
promises to be fully adequate‘ to meet, every
stated head ofthe public expenditure, includ-
ing the sum annually devoted to the extin-C
guishment ofthe debt,‘for the year thatis to_
come. This substantial prosperity, the result
ofthe general industry fostered by good laws,
and a just economy in the'public administra-
tion-—laws which, by enlarging the home de-
mand for the productions of the soil, have
aided in supplying the deficiencies in the for-
eign detiiatid,and which by superadding to
exports the results of manufacturing to those
of. agricultural labor, have tended to open new
flVe1|11_8S"l0 external traflic—tliis state of the
’coiirttry,in its fin-anical resources and concerns
-for the year, will be seen in tlierecapitulations
that follow. They will consist, first, ofthe
amount of moneys paid into the Treasury in
1826, and in the year preceding ; and the ex-
pettditures for those two years. Next, of the
state ofthe Public Debt, and the portions of
it iliat have been paid off; which will be seen
to exceed the sum regularly appropriated by
law for that purpose, within the year. And
lastly, ofthe Estimates ofthe Publié-'Reveriue
and Expenditure for the year 1827.

On this subject The Secretary’s statements
and calcolatiotis take up so large a space that
we Iiave substituted the following abstract,
Inliue by the editor ofthe NationalJournal.
The -aggregate of the igebt on the 1st of Ou-

gate of $73,920,844 76. Of this debt‘,

be obsun-etl that the portion of debt, the re-’

III.--Estimate of the Public Revenue and
Idzrperzditttre for 1827.
The importation of foreign articles into the
U. States, in 1825, was larger than common,
liavingamottnied, as by the statements trans-
mitted to. Congress on the 80th of last
March, to more than ninety six millions of
dollars in value. This exceeded, by’ about
sixteen millions of dollars, the average value
of itnportat-ions for three years precediug.—
The excess was larger than could be justified
by the tiiere gradually increasing demand of
the country, through its increasing populous-
ness, for foreign supplies,and could only have
proceeded from the influence of those acci-
dental and temporary causes, which, in com-
mercial countries, are always affecting the
operations of trade. A supply, so redundant,
for one year,miglit have been expected,by the
nattiral reflux oftltese operations, to he fol-
lowed by supplies tnore limited for the year
succeeding. On this account, as well as
through other causes that were adverted to in
the Annual Report of last December, the
probability of there being a falling off in the
value ofthe importations of 1826,as compared
with those of1825, was -intimated, and has
been the fact. The whole importatiotis for
1826 have amounted, from the returns and
estimates at present before the Treasury, to
about eighty five tnillioiis of dollars in value.
The whole ofthe exports, ‘for the satne time,
to about seventy eight tnilliotis. Ofthe im-
ports, about eighty millions have been carried
in American vessels; and, ofthe exports, ti-
About seventy million. Of the latter, about
fifty three millions consisted of the produc-
tion: of the U. States; and the reuiaitider of
foreign productions. The diminished value
of impotlations for 1826, has obviously arisen,
in some degree, front the fall of prices in
those countries of Europe from which the
larger! quantity oftnanufactured articles are
sent to the United States, and gives counte-
nance to the opinion that the decrease in
quantity has not been in ptoportion to the de-
crease in value. Ifindeed, the comparative
amount-and value ofexports be assumed as
the measure ofa correct judgment upon this
point, it would even lead to the iiifereuce that,.
as regards some ofthe principal articles of
importation into the United States’ for 1826.
there has been no decrease in qu.-iiitity, as
compared with the impurtations of I825.---
The value of exports, from the U. States, for
1825, exhibits at greater excess over those of
1826. than is seen in the imports ; -yet, in
oids of the Treasury attest. that the quantity,
as far as yet known, was greater in 1826. [n
1825, the export ofcottc-n was one hundred
and seventy-six millions ofpounds. In 1826,
11. was one hundred and ninety-two utillioiis.
Thevalne of the latter, or larger qtiatitity,
of the former, or smaller quantity, was thirty
six itiillioiis. Indike manner, the quantity of
flour exported in 1826 was greater than in
1825, whilst the value was less, though not in
the same proportion as with cotton. The same
is trite withrice. The export offiuur in 1826
was, in quantity, 858.860 barrels—in value
barrels ; and, in value, 4,212,127 dollars.
The export ofrice in 1826, was 110,636 tier-
ces in quaiitity,and 1,909 227 dollars in value.
In 1825. it was 97,015 ticrces in quantity, and
1,925,243 dollarsin value. It may be proper
to subjotn, ihat,_of the export of cotton in
1825, between nine and ten millions ofpouuds
were ofthe Sea Island cotton; and of the ex
port of-1826, between six and seven millions.
Of tobacco, the quantity exporited, as well as
its value, rose higlier in 1825 than in 1826.-
But, in 1826, the export of tobacco, though
considerably less than that of 1824, in quan-
amounts, in quantity and value, for the three
and 6,115.628 dollars; for 1826, 59,780 hogs-
the three years, tlierefore, it appears, that the
quantity exported was greatest in 1824, and
the value less. . -
It would be desirable, with a view tojudge
accurately of the effects of the tariff upon the
importations of foreign merchandize, to as-
certaiu the fluctnatioits from year to year in
the quantity ofsuch iuiportaiions. This cati
not be done, at present, so far as any official
or satisfactory standard at the Treasury is
concerned. The returns of the Collectors of
the Custoins in relation to goods which pay
lduiy ad valorctn, have hitherto, fixed nothing
but their value; and it is known, that goods
subject to duty under this form coinpreheud
,much the largest class offoreign impoftaiiotts.
Measures have been put in train for ascertain-
ing, henceforth, as far as practicable, the eti-
_iire quantity of goods subject to this descrip-
jiiou ofduty, as well as the value. But eveti
it hen time shall have tuatured these measures
and exhibited their results,tliey will furnish no
standard ofcoitiparison as to the quantity of
itnportations to their adoption. The inform-
ation will,'however, become useful after the
lapse ofa few years, in its bearing upon the
course and developements of our home indus-
,try and foreign tadc;sliowing how each under
wise principles adapted to each, may advance
co-equally; faizts that may shed a dlellllcl
light-upon the whole subjects should bi: wed .
itlously collected, to serve, need be, as tin:
I
of legislation in relation to "it courseofz ‘policy
to ..l_osely interwoven with-‘ the interest and
character of the social state, and with nation-
al prosperity and power. _ ' ‘j w
The value. of cotton ‘goods, subject to ad
valoretit duty, imported into the U. States in
1826, vvas,as far as at present ascertained,-
$8,905,816. The value of the saute descrip-
tion ufgor-._ds,importetl in l825,was 12,509,516
dollars. The value of woollen goods, subject
to ad valorem duty, itnported in «-,1826,-Was-
$7,445,498. The value ofthe same descrip-
tion of goods,impotted in 1825,was 11,992,264
dollars. But, as already intimated, this dif-
ference in value cannot be relied upon as a-
safe test ofihb difference in quantity. There
are seasons when it would be peculiarly mis-
leading, and the present is -believed to be one
of them. The duties on each description of
these manufactures, were calculated on the
prices which each respectively bore at the
places of exportation during the respective
years; and the great fall in prices in 1826,
will undoubtedly serve to account, in part, for
the difference in the aggregate value of the
two importations. Further elucidation will
be afforded to the point, when it is added that
although the value of cotton manufactures
imported in 1826 stands beldw those itnported
in 1825, in the proportion stated, it exceeds
the value of the same kind of maiiufaciures
imported during either of the two years pre-
ceding, 1324 and 1823. The same is not true
of -the woollen mantifactures. The value of
thelatter, paying ad valorem duties,impo:ted
in 1826, is found, from the returns as yet be-
fore the treasury, robe below the valuegofthe
same kind ofimportatioits for 1824 and 1823,
"though the difference is far less considerable
than between their value in 1825 and 1826 ;
nor is it known at this department what may
have been the comparative value of woollen
goods at the places of exportation during the
fottr consecutive years itidicated. The valu-
ation of ttierchandize constituting the total
aggregate ofour foreign trade,is always made
atthe p'ort or place ofshipnient, and the rule
applies ‘consequently both ways; that is, to
all articles ofexport as well as import ; there:
by freeing it frotn objections to which it
might otherwise be open. The mode of val-
tiing is, in effect,as follows; the party making
the shipment annexes the value to the titani-
fest or list ofarticles ; superadding his oath
that the value according totheir acttial cost,
or according to the value which they truly
hear, at the port and tiiue ofshipttient. This
oath istaken under the supervision of the.col-
lectors as regards exports, and under that of
ted agency abroad. as regardsimports. Som .
further formalities are observed under our
laws, particularly in relation to imports; but
they are all in aid ofthe chief provision here
stated.‘ '
The articles of American Manufactures ex-
ported from the United States, in 1828, will,
it is believed, he found to exceed six itiillious
ofdollars in value. The particular kinds of
manufacture which have made tip this profit-
able and growing branch ofthe export trade,
will be presented in detail, and their total va-
lue ascertained with more precision, at the
getieral Statistical Tables, now in course of
preparation, under the act ofthe 10th ofFeb.
I820 ; which willbe transmitted to Congress
at as early at day as their voluminous nature
will allow. Of the amount of American
M-.ttitit'at~.tures, produced for consuii-tptioii
within the United States during the year, it
is impossible to speak with exactness; but,
from indications that cannot deceive, it is ev-
ideiit that it is large ;so large,that the amount
exported, would sink to a level below all coni-
parison with it. The surest guide to our he
lief, under this head, is, that in those branches
which have at length been enabled, through
a provident legislation, to stand up against
that overwhelming competition of pre-estab-
lished excellence and capital from abroad,
which must otherwise have keptdown forever
their first attenipts,ihe article can now be had
cheaper in price, as well as better in quality,
._ihaii the satne article, from abroad, as it was
seen in our markets, prior to the efficient pro-
tection afforded io our own. Hence, the ap
prehettsions of monopoly, pass away. Hence.
the certainty that competition -at home will
bring down prices, eventually, ifitot immedi-
ately, whilst it creates and diffuses new wealth
at home ; labour being the foundation of
iuore universally, and in higher degrees, in
and in full activdy. It is then, thatihe farm-
er, the artisan, and the tnerchant, give sup-
port to each otlter, each enlarging the occupa-
tions and the gains ofeach ; the State, mean-
while, reaping the fruits iii- fiscal prosperity
and political power. As regards the Cotton
Manufactories of the Country, there are
grounds for supposing that they ‘now make a
call for full one-fourth part ofall the raw Cot-
ton grown in the United States. It is grati-
fying to add, that those parts of the United
States, where ntanufacturing establishments,
of all kinds, flourish inost,exhihit an animated
industry, an orderly aspect and an increasing
population. Towns atid villages are seen
rapidly to rise up in such districts, in resorting
to which the rural population of the vicinity
find ready and profitable sales for the various
productions offarming enterprise and labor.
A resolution passed the House of Repre
seniatives in May, directing the Secretary of
the Treasury to cause to be prepared a well
digested manual, containing the best practical
information that could be collected on the
growth and manufacture of Silk, adapted to
the different parts ofthe Union, containing
also such facts atid observations in relation to
the growth 81." manufacture of Silkin other
countries as might be useful; and that the
same should be laid before Congress at the
commencement of their present Session.-
Steps were taken wthout loss oftiine to ob-
lain the informationcontemplated by the res-
olution, as well as from all parts ofthe coun-
try as 'from Europe. But from the scope
which the subject was found to assutiie, all
the information expected under inquiries that
have been instituted, ltas not yet got to hatid ;
nor will it be now practicable to have it di-
gested and arranged, even should it all be. re-
ceived by-the time designated. The resolu-
tion will continue to command every atten-
tion, and be finally acted upon as soon asgmay-_
be compatible with the accomplishment ol
the object. A branch ofiiidustry that may be-
turned 1.0 so many purposes, useful and orna;
meiital,& which ministers to the wealth oftini
tions with so little cost in Iii-.2 material, as weil
_a§ in the species of labour‘ that is applied :o it,
ground work to us, of a more perfect systemmaturally merited, asJ_’Ji,t,,li‘t:=t:3 ‘received, all the
our coiisnls, or other commercial or substitii-'
wealth, and producing and disseminating it‘ _
proportion as it exists, under diversified forms. I
attention whichjtlic terms and spirit of the
‘resolution bespeak.
The value ofimportations for the year, giv-
' ing the basis of’ the iuipost revenue rather
than their quantity, it follows that, as the val-
ue of those for 1826 has fallen below the val-
he of those for 1825-, so will also the revenue '
from this source be less. The amount of du-
ties secured by bond on merchandize import-
ed during the first three quarters ofthe pres-
ent year, is estiniaied at $21,250,000. The
amount that will probably accrue during the
last quarter, is estimated at about 4,250,000,
making for the whole year $25,500,000. The
languid state of the tea trade for 1826, a trade
always so productive in revenue when it flour-
ishes, has lent its aid, in conjunction with the
fall of prices abroad, in diminislting the ac-
Gluing amount from the customs during the
year. Some revival of this valuable trade,
valuable under fiscal and commercial views,
and from its tendency to encourage an inno-
cent and wholesome drink,may be anticipated
next year. It may also be presumed, that the
extensive depression of prices: witnessed this
year in Europe will not take plac it a sim-‘
ilar scale the next; Nevertheless, witli the
causes, little likely in their combination at
least, to be marked by speedy repetition, that
have operated to lower the accruing revenue
from the customs for the current year, below
the year preceding, there is every reason for
supposing that it will exceed the revenue aris-
ing from this source, during one ofthe four
years that immediately preceded 1825 ; and
even go beyond the amount received in that
year, though not the amount that accrued in
that-year. This fact will be entitletl to its
proper weight, in determining to what extent
the regulations of the present tariff are likely
to bring injurious inroads upon the commer-
cial revenue ofthe Nation.
The debenture bonds isstied for drawbacks
during the three first quarters of the present
years amounted to 83,840, 868 40. This is
less, by $648,841 19, than those issued during
the correspoiidiug period of 1825. The ani’t
oftliose outstanding on the 13th of Septem-
ber last, and chargeable upon the revenue of
the next year was 81,294,310 04, which is
less, by $524,604 70. than was chargeable oti
the same day in 1825, upon the revenue of
1826. The deduction in the shape of draw-
backs from the accruing revenue of 1826,will
therefore perhaps exceed 5 tnillion dollars.
The amount of duty bonds in suit on the
thirtieth of September, was 84,007,832,76.—— *
This is a ‘large sunt,exceediiig by 81,020,535,
the sum that was in suit on the same day in
the year;preecding. The excess is l1i'€l great
degree to be accounted for, by the fraudulent
transactions in one or two of the principal
cities ofthe U. States, in relation to imported
teas. .
Whilst the impost revenue. receivable next
year, will beless-thati that which accrued in
1825, and has been received, or is still to be
received, in 1826, the publiclands promiseto
yield next yeartiiore than they have this.-
The probability of increased productiveness
in this bratich of revenue rests oti the follow-
ing grouuds: The act ofthe last session,ma|t-
ing “ provision for the extinguishment of the
debt to the United States by the purchasers
of public laifds,” hasarrested almost entirely,
for the present year, the payments for lands
sold on credit. That law will, liowetier, ex-
pire next July, and the payntents under it will
be thrown upon the year 1827. 2. A consid
erahle quantity ofthe lands relinquished to the
U. S. will it is expected, be brought into mar-
list in the course of the next year ; amongst
others, those at Huntsville,which are valuable
being tlispersed through a fertile country, oc-
cupied by a thriving population. It is believ-
ed they will sell promptly, 8:. at a good price.
8. A large portion ofthe best of the public
lands in Florida will be offered for sale in
I827. [tis understood that these lands are
in demand, and anticipated that they will sell
well.
From the foregoing facts and considera-
tions, affecting the Customs and the Public
Lands, it. is believed that the whole revenue
of the United States, for 1827, from these
and other_less itnportaiii sources, may be es-
timated at upwards of twenty-three millions
of dollars ;and that it will arise thus :

Miscellaneous 8:. inciden-
ta] ‘receipts
2,000,000
420,000
330,000
523,150,000
The expenditures for 1827 are estimated es
follows, viz ;
Civil, miscellaneous, and di-
ploniatic
Military service, including
fortifications, Ordnance,
Indian Department, Rev-
olutionary and Military
Pensions, arming the .11 i-
litia, and arretirages prior

Which will leave in the Treasury, on the
31st ofDecembei, 1827, after satisfying all
the deinauds of that year, on the basis ofthe
foregoing calculations, a surplus estimated at.
82,447,045 87. This surplus will be a dispo-
sable surplus, over and above the sum before
stated as not in effective funds,aud of the two
millions of dollars to bereserved in the trea-
sury under the Sinking Fund act of March
the 3d 1817.
In the estitnate of expenditures for 1827,
the autiual appropriation of $500,000, for the
gradual increase of the Navy, under the Act
of the 3d of March, 1821, has not been inser-
ted, that appropriation expiring with the pre-
sent year. Whatever reiiewed sum the wis-
dom of Congress may set apart for this efl'ec-
tive arm of the public defence, will add ano-
ther item to the list of expenditures for the "
year, and lessen, by‘ so much, the estimated -' ' - . - i
