Whilst tliev recognize, with unmixed satisfaction, 4* that improvement in the condition of the public revenue, which will allow an immediate alleviation of tlic bur tlieiiH imputed by the necessities of the war,** they well know that such an ullcxiution ran onlv In; expected and wished to an extent '* which shull (cave to the government the means of niain taiuinu it. 4 faith inviolate, and of prosecuting hucccs.?l'iillv the mea?uic.tol'a liberal" and pro xident policy. Iii rormiti? an opinion upon the o \ pc n?

Pub lic debts have indeed sometime# been consider ed as giving htabilitv anil order to a state, but the committee can never believe that a govern ment which ttecut'cft every civil and political light to t'.ie grent body of the people, can want that security which would bo aflorded by the distribution of any amount of annual in'tercHt upon its debt, which to 1m received by the few must lie paid by the many. It may lie true, that a public debt only makes a different distribution of the income of society, but it pays the stock holders what should be'recoived for supporting the ncarnnn and the soldier. That government indeed does well, which when forced into w ar, Mug* into the content every rcsourco which cre dit or revenue, can furnish \ but it ueglecta one i?f its first duties, when it allow* the sou son of peace to pas? uwayAvithoutnu adequate* provi sion for removing^yery inc umbra lire upon it* ellective revenue.

In HMectiiig flic taxes which should < iimpoMt it, the* duties upon imported article* may hi* expected to furoisu flic principal supply. ( heap .tint ea?v in their collection, paid like all indirect tax?*,\vhe.n it ia convenient to pay tliein* they will li? found under a system of prudent moderation, to di?courage no branch of national industry. Duties indeed, either upon impor tation or exportation, lecm fo lic the natural re-, source of countries tldulv neuplfcd ; which, ex porting a Inrjre amount of tneir agricultural pro ductions, receive in return the manufactures of older states. Tho distance, too, of die states from which our importations arc made, renders it more, difficult to ecade the payment of duties here thtm ill countries which are separated from ar(i \ e at.d cnterpmiug neighbors by a river ??r rouveiitioiial line, Hut na our agriculture oh* i.wn* markets at home, t** wealth spreads it*ulf over inland countries, where commerce can hut no iierl'-ctly follow, our itnporls a.< well an our e\j oris, must Ik-ar a continually lessening l"'0* portion to the wealth of this country. t. \ut1 t'Yi'it now, while the principal Hourco or ordinal y re; enue in ncace mU?t bo furiiiahcd by tin ?Mi? iinii8, it in prof?;it>l? that they could not l,e cuiiiiit?it (l or iticre?*ed to.an amount which tin; intcn -i and rrimhurM-moiit of ourilebtaud the ItrovixiiiiiH for our Hocurity require, without in* critflHitig toi) far the temptation to illicit impor tation.

Ait a result of these general views, tbo com* mittec, with deference to tbo house, recommend the nilpplion of the plan of revenuo contained in tho report of tbo Hecretary of tbo Treasury, with the exception of (hat part of it which pro |H)Ae? to continue the additional duttWon post age, ami to reiieal tbo additional duties on li cense* to retailera of wines, spiritiioUH li<|iiort?, and foreign mcechandisc imposed by the act of I December, IBM. The communication -of intel ligence between the different parts of the coun try, it appears to tho committee to be tbo just policy of our government to facilitate and en courage | and although it might have been right to exact a revenue from it, under circumiitancRg which made it necessary to apply every resource to the defence of the state, the present Hituation of the Treatturv may well allow of itH repeal.? Tito duties on licenses to retailers admit, in tho opinion of the committee, of a mollification, which, by proportioning the price of the license in some degree to the business of ihe retailer, shall render ihem as productive as the new rates and le*s oppressiic than the old ones. -Hut as such modification could only apply to licenses for I Kir, the committee propone to make it tho subject of a future renort. i Tlie permanent laws now in force may bp ex pected, ufter the expiration ?f ioiiipvr*ry duties, to produce a nett animal revenue of ?05.378,840. i Thf-il reel tux ancii amount of 5. 0,300 TV salr <tf Iinhtr lands, 1,000,000 I. rcii-H'i todi?ldler?,|fro*?amonnl, 1,200,000 CarriaKVi, .... 17.S.000 I.xciucM to rvt.iilvr*ami auet.om, I.i.OOO nut am. , '2,676,000 .',514,000 tlot'm on furniture ami watches, 300,000 On iii:iitiifarltirt"?, 1,511,000 K.\ci*c on ilihtilli'd *pjrit.*, 2,3000,00") ??? v n.atnt. 4,111,000 .1,864,840 Postage .100,000?Outonu 12,000,000, 12,;lOO,OiXi 25,378,84'J Such in tlit* estimate of (lip annual revenue, which by low is declared tube pledged 44 (ii pro vide lor (he payment of the expenses ofgov ernment, for (lie punctual payment of the public debt nnd for creating an adequate linking fund.'* If the recommendations contained in tho report of tin* Secretary, with the modifications propo sed by the committee, Khali be carried into effort, there will be deducted from this revpnne of 935,978,840 'l'nc nett amount of dutieii oil furnitmp and wulchc.i, uiiiniifiicturva & kpiritH, 3,864,340 The postage duty, 300,000 From the licit product ofJaud tax, 3,900,000 7,064,840 Hut there will lie added to the revenue* Hy the additional duty on stills 1,3000,000, the duty on Htanip* 400<K>0, on refined vijfur 140- [n. amt. 000, on Mh 500.000(Cm??nmt.2,25O,OO0,)3,?l5,OOO lly an edditiou to the custom* ecjtuil to the pro- - ? / duet of an average addition of 43 per rent.

The considerations which have been atready adverted" to* an enjoining the policy of providing for tlie extinguishment of the public debt as hooii as tho resources of the country ami theconditions of it* contracts will permit, in duce the committee to proposo that to that ob ject muy be annually appropriated seven million after the Vein- fhi 0, which added to tin* sum ap propriated to the puyment of interest, will form a sinking fund of $13*100,000, ami extinguish the public debt in less than twelve years. This appropriation won lit still leave an excess of ail iiuul revenue above the estimates of ordinary ex penditure fufnished by tho secretary of the trea sury, of upwards of two millions ami a half, to i?u applied to any other branch of public service. | Tlie committee have confined their observa tions to tlie receipt* and expenditures of a pert | manent pepcc establishment. The motlification of the plan of the secretary of the ti easury which thofchave proposed, will produce too small an eflMt upon tho receipts of 18|(? to reunit e a dis tinct exposition of them* and the dcAciclicy ill tlie receipts of 1810 (suggested in the treasury report) cannot disturb the calculations which have been submitted of tho receipts and expend itures of succeeding years, since the estimated deficiency '?* \*** titan seven millions and the outstanding revenue on the first Jan. 1817, will be abirtlt twenty millions. If however, the de msnd upon the treasury in 1817, in consequence of Congress assuming the payment of expenses incurred during war, which it has not yet sanc tioned# or from other cause; shall be en creased beyontl the present estimate or beyond un a mount for whlth the unappropriated revetturrtiay provide, the sinking fulid may be chergeil ftir the year 1817 with the payment of tlie treasury notes which may be Issued under tho laws now in Ion e.
