The period is now at hand, when the British ports in the West Indies are to be closed to our shipping, and when, of course, our ports will be closed to Brit ish shipping, from, or Roing to, the Is- any ofTiciul knowledge of, or intercourse wiih, the individual states. Such is not the fact witli respect to the British colo nies which the mother country will not permit us to consider as forming with her one whole. In furihrrance of her own views she expressly (Xcepts theA\ from the treaties which govern the inter course between'her and other naticns; lands.

Wednesday, dec. 13.—This reportj says the Fayetteville Observer, is usually interesting : but the present one exceeds t!ie President’s Message in length—pre cluding the possibility of its publication at length in the Observer. We must, however, skim its surface, and endeavor to gather the most prominent parts into a brief space. The total receipts into the Treasury during the year, and the balance at tho close of the last jear, are estimati’d at; S31,03/,582,93. And tue eKpendiiures, including more than eleven miiiions for the i)ayment of public debt, aie estima ted at 2-1.662,043 96, leaving an estima ted bahjiic of 6,125,538 97 in the Tieas- IIry Jan. 1, 1827. The public debt will be reduced, on the 1st Jan., to S"3,020,31-4 76. Tiie Secretary reconimends ,hatu loan to the umoutu of sixteen millions, at interest n>i txceiding 5 percent, be immediately authoris. il, for tlie pui-pose of paying oft a correspondit!g amount of the debt >> iiich now boc.rs ati interest of 6 per f.eiit. By tiiis operation, which tise Se- I i eiary doubts not may be eflected, a saving of 5160,000 a year would be made. hi consequeiice of the diminution ot imports, fi-om which so large a portion of the revenu* is derived, it isrstimaicd that tht'ce wiil be a considerable falling ott‘ Hi the revenue for the year 1827, wiiich is set down at g23,150,000. A- mung the souixes from which Uus sum is to be derived, u is staieci that 4 i^rgc |;oi tion of the best of the rioridu lauds, together with some in Alabama, wiil be sold in the course of the year. “It is understood that these lands are in de mand, and anticipated that they w ill scH well.” The expenditures for the year 1827,, including the annual appropriation of ten inilllions towards the payment of the public debt, are estimated at only 820,- 702,P54, which will leave in the Treasu ry, Dcc. 31, 1827, an eslimatetl balance of near two and a half millions j sui^ject, of course, to be reduced by any extraor dinary appropriation by Congress. The lolloAving condensed statement of the value of imports and exports, cannot but be acceptable : “The whole importations for 1826 have amounted, from the returns and es timates at present before the 'I'revsury. to about eighty -five millions of do( ;'.rs iix vj'.lue. The whole of the exports ior the >;.tme time, to about seventy-eigiii niili lions. Of the imports, about eighty mil lions have been carried in Americarj ves sels; and, of tiie exports, about St venty millions. Of the latter, about fifty-ihree millions consisted of the productions of the Uniled Statesj and the remainder oC futeign productions. Ti.e diminished Value of importations for 1826, has oi>vi- oiisly arisen, in some degree, fr- m the fall of j)rices in those couraries ofEu- repe from v/hich the large,st quantity of manufac ured articles are sent to the U. States, and gives countenance to the opin ion that the decrease in quantity iias not been in propor'ion to the decrease m va lue. If, indeed, the comparative c.iuonut and value of exports be assumed as ihc measure of a correct judgment ujjon this point, it would even lead to iht infer ence that, as regards some of the princi pal at tides of imi)ortation into the Uni ted States for 1825, there has been n.) decrease in quantity, as compared with the importations oT 1825. I'iie vaiue oI’ exports from the United Straes, lor 1825, exiiibits a greater (xcess over those of 1826, than is seen in the imports; yet, ia son'ic of the chief articles of ervport, the records of the Treasury attes;, that the quantity, as far as yet known, was great er in 1826.' In 1825, the export of‘ cot ton was one bundled and seventy-six mil- lionsof pounds. In 1826, it was one hun dred and ninety-two millions. 'I'he val ue of the latter, or larger quantity, was twenty-four millions of dollars. 'I'he val ue ofthe former, or smallei- qiianti y wan thirty-six millions. In like ruai.ner, the (juantity of Hour exported in 1626 was greater than in 1825, whilst the value was less, though not in the same pro portion as with cotton. The same is true of rice. The export of flour it; 1826, was, in (juantity, 858,360 barrels—in v*^al- ue 4,133.063 dollars. In 1825, it was 8I: ' ‘ ■ (loil ! 10,635 tierces in quantity, aiul 1.90'J,J27 dollars in value. In 1825, it was 9:,’oi.‘, tierccs in quantity, and 1,925,213 dollars in value. tl.e fallacy ofthe argument lies in this—1 that the United States jiresent hut one 1 exterior to foreign nations.
