ApMschicola to the Perdido, the third. To t he^i* districts, the usual number of revenue offiten Here aH pointed, and. to secure the due opt** rniioti <>f these laws, one judge mid a district attorney were appointed, to reside at Pensacola and like wine on* judge and a district attorney to reside at St. Augustine, ^ ith a spe ciGrd boundary between them; and one marshal for the whi le, with au thority to appoint a deputy. In car T \ ing this law into effect, and e?|>e cially tli&t part of it relating tu the! powers of the existing government of :hose provinces, it was thought important, Hi consideration of the short term for which it was to oper ate, and the radical change which v ould be made at the approaching ?session of Congress, to avoid ex pense, to make no aj>p6intment which should not be absolutely necessary to ?i%e effect to tho>e powers, to with draw nohe of our citizens from other pursuits,' w hereby to subject the gov ernment to claims which could not he gratified, and the |>arties to losses, M Inch it would be painful to witness. It has been seen, with much con . ?ern, that, in tins performance of these duties, a collision arose be tween the Gwcraor of the territory, and the. judge appointed for the wes tan district. It was presumed, that the law under which v this transitory government was organised, ? and tue commissions which were granted to the officers whirw ere appoihled to exea\{e each branch of the ay s tem, and to which the commissions *rere adapted,^ ould have been un iW rsiood in the save sense, by them, in which they were understood by the Executive. Much allow ance is due to officers empldyen in encli branch of thHt ay-tern* arid the more so, as thcrti'fr good cause to believe ^thif eaoh ailed under a^ \convidiiHi tl>?? he possessed the power which I Iff undertook to exercise.

The new government . of Columbia lias extended its territories-and con siileraldy augmented it* strength, ami at Buenos Ay res, where civil dis seulioB had, tor some time l>elore, prevailed, greater harmony* and better order, appear to have been established. Equal success has at* tended their efforts in the provinces on the Pacific. it has long been manifest that it would be impossible for Hpaio to rednce these colonies by force, and equally so, that no condi tions, short of their independence* would be satisfactory to them* It may therefore be presumed, and it is earnestly hoped, that the govern ment of Hpain, guided bj enlighten ed and liberal counsels, will find it to couiport with its interests, and due to its magnanimity*' to terminate this exhausting controversy on that basis. To promote this result by friendl) counsel with tbe government of Spain, will be tbe otyect of tbe governflfent of ihe United btates. ?> In conducting tbe fiscal ^iterations of the yfcar, it has been found neces sary to carry into full effect the act of tbe last session of Congress, au thorizing a loan of five millions of dollam. -This sum has been raised ?t?n average premium of five dol-l lars fifty-nine hundredths fier cent, ufxin stock bearing an iiiteiest at the rate of the percent. |ter annum, re* deemitble ai the option idf the ; gov ernment after the first day of Janua ry, ISi 6. ? j o r There has heen issued, under the provisions of this act, four millions seven hundred; arid thirty?five thou sand two hundred land ninety-six dollars thirty ce iits of five per cent* stock 5 and there him been, ?r wilt be, redeemed during the year, three millions one fcuAdred And ninety seven thousand thirty dollars seven* ty -one cents of Lo^siana , six per cent and deferred Mm k, and !Viissis aippi l here .has* therefore, heen* an- actual increase of the pub lic debt, contrasted during the yeaty of one million ft ve hundred *ud thir ty?eight( thousand two hundred and i_i twit . ? . sixty.soi doMar* aiaty-nwo cents* ttt The receipts into the -treasury from the 1st if Januaiy >to the 30th qf September . last, have amounted to $ixteen million* to ro hundred and nineteen thonaatfd one hundred and ninety seven, dollar, e seventy cents , t clucks with the balance of one mil * lion one hundred and ^ninety-eight thousand Jour hundred and sixty- one dollars .twentynone cents, i??,< (he Treasury onthe former day, make the aggregate sum of seventeen mil* lions Jour hundred and seventeen thousand six hundred and fifty-eight dollars ninety-one cents - The payments from the Treasury during the same period have amount ed tojfteen milium six hundred and \t(py-jtVS thousa> d tiro hundred and eighty-eight fhAlars forty seven cents , j leaving tn the ' Treasury , otriHv last mentioned day, the sum <>j one mit-] lion seven hundred ai d sixty two thousand three hundred and seventu dollars forty four cents . It is estU nidteA that the receipts of thefoUrlk quarter of the year will exceed the demands which wilt be rnade on the fTreasury dwing the same period, and that the amount in the Treasury , on the 80th of September fast, will be increased on the Jirst day of Jfrn - ' ' ( -v At the close qf the tost session , it teas anticipated that the progressive diminution of the public revenue in 1&19 and I too, which had been the result if the languid state of our foreign "commerce in those years, had , in the latter year , reached its extreme poi nt of depression. Jt has , iowevet, been ascertained, that thai i ennt was reached only at the termii atwn if the first quarter of the pre - sent year. From that time , until the 30th of September last, the duties secured harp exceeded those of the corresponding quarters uf the lust year, one million (rne hundred and seventy two thousand dollars , whilst the amount of debentures issued du ring the three first quarters of this year , is nine ha dred and fifty -two thousand dollars l^ss than that q) the same quarters of the last year. There are just grounds to believe that the improvement which has oc curred in the revenue, during the Aits! montioned period, it ill not only be maintained, but that it will pro gressively increase through the next and several succeeding years, so as to realize the result*, which were presented upon that subject, by the etftciat reports trf the Treasury , at the commence me ut of the last session of Congress. | Under the influence of the most favora ble circumstances, the. revenue for the next and subsequent years, to the year 1825, will exceed the demands at pie sept author ized by law* It may fairly be presumed, that, undtr the protection given to domestic manulac* tures, by the existing laws, we shall be come, at no distant period, a manufacturing country, on an extensive scale. Possessing, as We do, the taw malaria te in tnrh t amount, with a capacity to augment them to an indefinite extent ; raising within the country aliment of every kind, to an amount far exceeding the demund, for home con sumption, even in the most unfavorable years, and to be obtained always at a very moderate price ; skilled also as our people are in the mechanic ai^s, and, in every im provement calculated to lessen the demand for, and the price of labor, it is manifest their success, in every branch of domestic industry, may, and will be earned, under the encouragement given by the present duties, to an extent to meet any demand, which, under a fair competition, may be made oft it. _ ? ~ . r A considerable increase of domestic manulacturcs, by diminishing tfce importa tion of foreign, will probably tend to lessen the amount of the public revenue*. As, TuVweverT a lafgc portion of the revenue, which is derived from duties, is raised from other articles than manufactures, the de mand for which will increase with our pop ulation, it it believed, that o fund will still be raised from that source) adequate to the greater patt of the national expenditures, especially as those expenditures, should we comiue to be blessed With peace, will be diminished bv the completion of the for tifications, dock yards, and other public works ; by the augmentation of the navy to the point to which it is proposed tp carry it, and by the payment of t?ie public debt, in cluding pensions for military services. ? It cannot be doubted that the more conv plete our internal resources, and the less dependant we are on foreign powers, >or every national as well as domestic purpose, toe' greater and more stable will \ye the public felicity* by the increase of do mestic. manufactures, will the demand for the rude : materials at home be increased, and thus wiU the dependence of the sever al parts our Union on each other, and the strength of the Union itself, be proportion ably augmented. In this process, which is very desirable, and inevitable under the existing dutierf, the resources which obvi ously present themselves to supply a defi ciency iu the revenue, should it odcur, are the interests which may derive the princi pal benefit from the change* If domestic manufactures are, raised by duties on for eign, the deficiency in the fund necessary for public purposes should be supptid by duties on tbe former. At the last s??sion, }t: teemed doubtful, whether the revenue derived from t he present sources would be ?dequate to the great purposes of our un ion, including the constftiction of our fbf* tificationb, the augmentation of our navy,' and the protection of our commerce a ?ainst the dangers to which it is expose^ Had the deficiency been such, as to subject us to the necessity, either to abandon those measures of defence, ov to resort toother means for adequate funds; tbe eourse pre seated to the adoption of a virtuous and enlightened people appeared to be a plain one. It musfbe gratifying to all to know, that this necessity does not exist.' Noth ing, however, in contemplation of such im portant objects, which can be easily pro vided for, should be left to hazard. It is thought that the revenue may receive an augmentation fuorrv the existing sources, and in ? manner aid our fna.wficuftres* without hastening prematurely the result which has been suggested. It is believed that a moderate additional duty on certain articles would have that effect, without be ing hable (0 any serious objection# The examination of the whole coantrfor the construction of permanent fortifica tions, from Su Croix to the Sabine, with the exception of a part of the territory late ly acquired, will be eomplefed in the pres ent year, as will the eurrey of the Missis sippi, under the resolution of ihe House o< Hept rsentatives, from the mouth of tl?* Ohio to the Ocean? and, likewise,- of tire Ohio, from |/onisvil)e to the Mississippi \ progress, corfesponding with the sums appropriated, has also been made in tii< Construction of mese fortifications, at tt>i points Ucbi^u?veC% As they will form a system of defence, for the whole mariurre frontier, ai?d, in consequence, for the inu - not. ami are lo last lor ages, the utmost f aie has been taken o fix ilu position . each work, and to form it on such h NC.nt dS\>iil be adequate w> the purpose intend- , ed by it.

From past experience, and the best information respecting the views of those powers, it is distinct)} understood that, should our squadron be withdrawn, ? they would soon commence their hostilities i and depredations on our commerce.
