Finance of that beriod. Dredicted that it would
become at useful to commerce and agriculture
ta peace, at to the Government during tear ;':
when the same public officer, speaking from an
arduous and Enlightened experience, subsequent
ly said, that without that Bank, imperfect as was
its organization, ."Me business of tie department I
of finance could not have been performed, it af
fords a testimony the memory of which is conceiv
ed to be not wholly irrelevant to that wnicn is Here
intended to ha borne to the kindred hut better
institution of -our day. The policy of Congress
having established a financial connexion between
the Bank of the United States and the Govern-
nrent of the Union, it is conceived to devolve
ttpon the officer of the latter, whose post charges
ihini with a close observance of that connexion, to
report to Congress its practical effects. The
benefits of a remedy become often most apparent
by a recollection of the evils which called
for it. A paper currency, too redundant, be
cause without any basis of com, or other efiec
tive check, and of no value as a medium of re
mittance or exchange beyond the jurisdiction of
the State whence it had been issued, a currency
that not unfrequently imposed upon tbo Treasu
ry the necessity of meeting, by extravagant pre'
miums, the mere act of transferring the revenues
, collected at one point to defray unavoidable ex
penditures at another : this is the state of things
which the Bank of the United States has super
seded. In the financial operations of the nation,
as in the pecuniary transactions between man and
man, confidence has succeeded to distrust ; stea
dincss to fluctuation ; and reasonable certainty
to general confusion and risk. The very millions
- of dollars ot funds not cliective, or which the
Treasury for many years has been obliged to
speak, is but a remnant of the losses arising from
the shattered currency, which the Bank, by a
wise management of its affairs, has cured. In
conclusion, the mode of its agency in large pay
ments of the principal of the debt, is not to be
overlooked. By its arrangements for them, it
avoids the inconvenience of too great an accu
mutation of money in the vaults of deposite used
by the Government, and of the vacuum that
would succeed to its too sudden distribution. It
does this by anticipating as the periods of pay
ment approach, the disbursement of a considers-
bio portion of the stock in the form of discounts in
favor of those who are to be paid off, thereby
enabling them otherwise to employ their capital
as opportunities may offer beforehand. In this
manner heavy payments of the debt are, in effect,
made gradually, instead of the whole mass being
thrown at once upon the money market, which
might produce injurious shocks. So prudently
in this and other respects does the Bank aid the
operation ot paying off the debt, that the com-
muoity hardly has a consciousness that it is going
on. I
An act of Congress was passed on the 24th of
last May, directing the Secretary of the Treasury
to subscribe in the name and for the use of the
United States, for ten thousand shares of capital
stock of the 'Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Com
pany, an enterprise designed to open the shortest
outlet between the waters of the Ohio and tho At
lantic ocean. This duty has been performed,
and it is satisfactory to be able to state that the
national work which it is designed to advance, a
work distinguished from kindred enterprises to
which Congress has heretofore lent its powerful
aid, by its connexion with the national metropo
lis, has been commenced. A considerable por
tion of the line of too canal is in process of exca
vation, and under circumstances that promise
well towards the successful prosecution of the
whole work. In its completion a large and en
riching increase of home trade in this part of the
Union, diffusing its commercial and fiscal bene
fits to other parts, and much of it concentrating
in a district under the peculiar and exclusive care
of Congress, cannot but be witnessed.
The rotrospect intended is here closed. It
looked to but two things : first, a condensed state
ment of the leading facts belonging to the his
tory of the Department at the termination of one
of those periods of time into which the constitu
tion has divided the movements of Government :
nd, secondly, to a general reference to the
principles of public policy which have guided
the present incumbent in the performance of its
leading duties. So deeply do the finances of a
State always enter into the estimate of its pros
perity, often of its very existence, that he has at
' no time felt himself at liberty to take a restricted
"vie"w of the law commanding him to make an an
nual report to Congress " on the subject of fi
but puts himself upon the indulgence of
nance ;
ha t body for having coupled with this annual per
formance of his duty, principles and recommen
dations which he believes eventually calculated,
In the language of that law, to improve and in
crease the finances of the Union.
' The Report will now proceed to state the re
ceipts and expenditures of the past and present
-years, as fir as ascertained, and an estimate of
'those for the year ensuing.
The actual receipts from all sources during the
year 1827, amounted (as will be seen in Docu
ment No. 2) to twenty-two millions nine hundred
and sixty-six thousand, three hundred and
sixty-three dollars and ninety-six cents which,
with the balance in the Treasury on the first
of Jan. of that year, of six millions three hun
dred and "fifty-eight thousand six hundred and
eighty-six dollars and eighteen cents, gives an
aggregate of twenty-nine millions three hundred
and twenty-five thousand and firry dollars and
fourteen cents. Of the sum received as above,
during 1827. tho Customs yielded upwards of
nineteen millions and a half, and the sales of the
public lands nearly one million and a half. Tho
expenditures of the United States for the same
year, amounted to twenty-two millions six hun
dred and fifty-six thousand, seven hundred
and sixty four dollars and four cents. The
same document will supply a specification of the
particulars, and show a balance in the Treasury
on the first of January 1828, of six millions six
hundred and sixty-eight thousand two hundred
and eighty-six dollars and ten cents.
The actual receipts during the three first quar
ters of 1828, (document No. 3.) are supposed to
have amounted to eighteen millions six hundred
and thirty-three thousand five hundred and eighty
dollars and twenty-seven cents ; and those of the
fourth quarter it is supposed will amount to five
millions four hundred and sixty one thousand two
hundred and eighty-three dollars and forty cents,
making the total receipts for 1828, twenty-four
millions and ninety-four thousand eight hundred
and sixty-three dollars and sixty-seven cents;
-which added to the balance in the treasury on
ft 6rst of January, as above stated, gives an ag-
I eregate of thirty millions seven hundred and six
J ty three thousand one hundred and forty -nine
dollars and seventy-seven cents. The expend
tures of the three first quarters of the year, (same
document,) are supposed to have' amounted to
eighteen millions two hundred and forty-four
thousand nine hundred and seven dollars and
ninety one cents 1 and those for the fourth quar
ter it is supposed will amount to seven millions
three hundred and ninety two thousand six bun
dred and three dollars and seventy-two cents
making for the whole year, twenty-five millions
six hundred and thirty-seven thousand five nun
I dred and eleven dollars and sixty-three cents,
f This expenditure includes,7 as the items in the
I document will show, upwards of twelve millions
on account of the debt, and will leave in the
Treasury, on the first of January; 1829, an es
timated balance of five millions one hundred and
twenty-five thousand six hundred and thirty
eiht dollars and fourteen "cents. This balance
will be subject to tlio appropriations of moneys
for the service of 1828, that have not as yet been
called for, a sum estimated at three millions five
hundred thousand dollars ; and includes the one
million of dollars in funds not now effective, as
heretofore explained.
Estimate of Revenue and Expenditure, for
1 829. I he gross amount of duties secured by
Custom House bonds, during the three first quar
ters of the present year, is estimated at twenty-
two millions nine hundred and ninety-seven
thousand dollars ; and the amount that will be
secured during the fourth quarter, at five millions;
making an aggregate for the whole year of 27
millions 9 hundred and 97 thousand dollars." The
debentures, for drawback of duty, issued during
the three first quarters, amounted to two millions
nino hundred and sixty-two thousand five bun
dred and eighty-four dollars and fifty-five cents,
and the amount outstanding on the lust day of
the third quarter, was two millions two hundred
and sixty-one thousand seven hundred and nine
ty-eight dollars and fiv' cents, of which one mil
lion forty-five thousand one hundred and forty
four dollars and forty-six cents are chargeable
upon the revenue of 1 829. The amount of bonds
in suit, at the close of the third quarter, was four
millions six hundred and twenty-four thousand
two hundred and seventy-eight dollars and seven
ty-five cents ; which exceeds, by four tpindred
and eighty-seven thousand four hundred and
sixty-six dollars and eleven cents, the amount
that was in suit on the corresponding day of 1827.
Making thv proper deductions on the foregoing
and other accounts from the gross amount of uu
secured in 128, the revenue, to be received
from tho customs , in 1829 may be estimated at
twenty-one mill ions five hundred thousand dollars;
tnat Ir0 the sales ot the public lands may be put
down at one million ; that from bank dividends
at foar hundred and ninety thousand dollars ; and
that from incidental sources at about one hundred
an hy thousand ; making a total of twenty-
nree minions one nunareo and forty tnousaud
aouars. i ne expenditures are estimated thus :
For the whole civil list, including miscellaneous
objects and tho ten millions for the debt, twelve
millions one hundred and sixty thousand dollars ;
for the military establishments and objects in con
nexion with them, five millions and sixty thou
sand ; and for the naval, four millions four hun
dred and twenty thousand ; making in the whole,
twenty-one millions six hundred and forty thou
sand dollars, and giving an excess of receipts for
the year 1829 over its expenditure, of one million
five hundred thousand dollars.
The receipts for 1828 were estimated at twen
ty-two millions three hundred thousand dollars ;
but are likely to amount, in point of fact, to above
twenty-four millions. The receipts for 1829 are
estimated, as is seen above, at twenty-three mil
lions one hundred and forty thousand. . It has not
been considered safe to place them, by any deci
ded anticipation, at a higher sum ; yet there are
appearances in the commercial and political
world which, in their further developement, may
carry the actual receipts cf 1829 at least as far
above their estimated amount, as is likely to be
the case with those of 1828. If, for example,
without alluding to other contingencies, any con
tinued or further activity in the demand for grain
and Hour should lead to heavier exportations of
our produce than usual, within a few months to
come, there would of course be a re-flow of hea
vier importations. The revenue of 1829 would
feel the effects of these increased receipts ; be
cause, even under the long credits allowed on du
ty bonds, a portion of the duties that accrue with
in the year are receivable within the year. But
fuch events a? these though fit. perhaps, to be
incidentally hinted at, are to be viewed with cau
tion as the ground work of any positive financial
calculations ; and accordingly, have not been
adopted in that sense upon the present occasion.
Upon the whole, in bringing this Report to a
close, there is room for mingling a feeling of con
gratulation to the National Legislature, with the
statements which it has exhibited. The receipts
of theexistingyear, greater by nearly two millions
of dollars than had been foreseen, with a prospect
of income for the next scarcely less abundant ;
the receipts of the last four years presenting a large
and gratifying excess over those of the four years
preceding;' the foreign commerce of the country
in a state of solid prosperity, from the improving
condition of its leading Departments of industry
at home, and consequent increase in the exporta
tions of its products, the increase of its tonnage,
that foundation of naval strength as well as com
mercial riches, keeping pace with the increase of
commerce ; tha public debt annually and rapidly
decreasing under the applications of surplift
funds annually and rapidly increasing ; the
public revenue preserved at an equal value in
every part of the Union through the power
of transfers promptly made by the Bank of
the United States, without expense or risk to
the nation, and the currency maintained in a
healthful state by the same institution. Such
is the great outline of the financial and commer
cial condition of the country ; a condition the re
sult of good laws faithfully administered, and of
tho aggregate industry ot an enterprising and
free people.
All which is respectfully submitted,

j LIFE OF COLUMBUS. B. Irving. :
From the hut Edinbwg Review. '
, After paying some high compliments to Mr.
Irving's work in general terms, and adverting to
the previous imperfect histories of the great na
vigator and his discoveries, the Review proceeds
in the following eloquent language :
By a happy concurrence of circumstances, an
elegant writer, altogether unconnected either
with Spain or her rivals and enemies, and known
all over tho civilized world as a man of intelli
gence and principle, repaired to Madrid at
time when the publication of Navarette had
turned the public attention, in an extraordinary
degree, to the memorable era of Columbus ; and,
by the force of his literary and personal charac
ter, obtained the fullest disclosure of every thing
that bore upon his history that was ever made, to
native or foreigner at the same time that he
had the means of discussing personally, with the
best infouned individuals of tho nation, all the
points on which the written documents might
seem to leave room for doubt or explanation.
Of these rare advantages Mr. Irvine: has
availed himself, we think, with singular judg
ment and ability. He has written the history of
the greatest event in the annals of mankind, with
the fullness and the feeling it deserved; and has
presented us with a flowing and continuous nar
rative of the events which he had to record, far
more luminous and comprehensive ' than any
which previously existed, and yet much less dif
fuse and discursive than the earlier accounts,
from which it is mainly derived ; . while, without
sacrificing in any degree the intense interest of
personal adventure and individual sympathy, he
has brought the lights of a more cultivated age
to bear on the obscure places of the story ; and
touched skilfully on the errors and prejudices of
the times at once to enliven his picture by their
singularity, and to instruct us by their explana
tion or apology. Above, all, he has composed
the whole work in a temper that is beyond all
praise. It breathes throughout a genuine spirit
of humanity ; and, embellished as it is by beauti
ful descriptions and wonderful tales, its principal
attraction in our eyes consists in its soft-hearted
sympathy with suffering, its fearless reprobation
of injustice and oppression, and the magnani
mous candour of its judgments, even on the de
linquent. .
But though we think all this of Mr. li ving s
work, we suspect it may not be altogether un
necessary to caution our more sensitive and san
guine readers against giving way to certain feel
ings of disappointment, which it is not impossi
ble they may encounter at the outset of their
task; and to which two or three very innocent
ses are likely enough to expose them. In
the first place, many great admirers of Mr. Ir
ving's former works will probably miss the bril
liant, highly finished, and rythmical style which
attracted them so much in those performances ;
and may find the less artificial and elaborate dic
tion of this history comparatively weak and care
less. In this judgment, however, we can by no
means agree. Mr. Irving's former style, though
unquestionably very elegant and harmonious, al
ways struck us as somewhat too laboured and ex
quisite and at all -events, but ill fitted for an
extensive work, where the interest turned too
much on tho weight of the matter, to be safely
divided with the mere polish of the diction, or
the balance of the periods. He has done well,
therefore, we think, to discard it on this occa
sion, for the more varied, careless, and natural
style, which distinguishes the volumes before us
a style not only without sententious preten
tion, or antithetical prcttmess, but even in some
degree loose and unequal (lowing easily on,
with something of the fullness and clearness of
Herodotus or Boccaccio sometimes languid,
and often inexact, but furnishing in its very fresh
ness and variety, the very best mirror, perhaps,
in which the romantic adventures, the sweet
descriptions, or the soft humanities, with which
the author had to deal, could have been dis
played. ' '
Another, and perhaps a more general source
of disappointment to impatient readers, is likely
to be found in the extent and minuteness of the
prefatory details, with which Mr. Irving has
crowded the foreground of his picture, and de
tained us, apparently without necessity, from its
principal features. The genealogy and educa
tion of Columbus his early love of adventure
his long and vain solicitations at the different
European courts the intrigues and jealousies
by which lie was baffled the prejudices against
which he had to contend, and the lofty spirit and
doubtful logic by which they were opposed are
all given with a fulness for which, however in
structive it may be, tho reader, who knows al
ready what it is to end in, feels any thing but
grateful. His mind, from the very title page, is
among the billows of the Atlantic and the islands
of tho Caribs ; and he docs not submit without
impatience to be informed of all the energy that
was to be exerted, and all the obstacles to be
overcome, before he can get there. It is only
after we have perused the whole work that we
perceive the fitness of the introductory chapters;
and then, w hen the whole grand series of suffer
ings and exploits has been unfolded, and the
greatness of the event, and of the character with
which it is inseparably blended, have been im
pressed on our minds, we feel how necessary it
was to tell, and how grateful it is to know, all
that can now be known of tho causes by which
both were prepared ; and instead of murmuring
at the length of these precions details, feel no
thing but regret that time should have so grie
vously abridged them.
The last disappointment, for which the reader
should be prepared, will probably fall upon those
who expect new information as to the first great
voyage of discovery, or suppose that the chief
interest of the work must be exhausted by its
completion. That portion of the story of Co
lumbus has always, from obviou3 causes, been
given with more amplitude and fidelity than any
other; and Mr. Irving, accordingly, has been
able to add but few additional traits of any con
siderable importance. But it is not there, wo
think, that the great interest or the true cha
racter of the work is to be found. Tho mere
geographical discovery, sublime as it undoubted
ly b, is far less impressive, to our minds, than
the moral emotions to which it opens the scene.
The whole history of the settlement of Ilispa
niola, and the sufferings of its gentle people
the daring progress of the great discoverer,
through unheard-of forms of peril, and the over
whelming disasters that stem at last to weigh
him down, constitute the real business of the
piece, and are what truly bring out, not only the
character of the hian, but that of the events with
which his memory is identified. It is here, too,
that both the power and the beauty of the au
thor's stylo chiefly display themselves in his
account of the innocence and gentleness of the
simple races that were then first introduced to
their elder brethren of Europe, and his glowing
pictures of the lovely land, which ministered to
their' primitive luxury- or in his many sketches
of the great commander himself, now towering in
paternal majestey in the midst of his newly-found
children -now invested with the dark gorgeous
ness of deep and superstitious devotion, and
burning thirst of fame or, still more sublime,
in his silent struggles with malevolence and mis
fortune, and his steadfast reliance on the justice
of posterity. " ", , . ;
The work before us embodies all these, and
many other touching representations ; and in the
vivacity of its colouring, and the novelty of its
scene, possesses all the interest of a novel of in
vention, with the startling and thrilling assurance
of its actual truth and exactness a sentiment
which enhances and every moment presses home
to our hearts the deep pity and resentment in
spired by the sufferings of the confiding beings it
introduces to our knowledge mingled with
feeling of something like envy and delighted
wonder, at the story of their child-like inno
cence, and humble apparatus of enjoyment. No
savages certainly ever were so engaging and love
able 'as those savages. Affectionate, sociable,
and without cunning, sullenness, inconstancy, or
any of the savage vices, but an aversion from toil,
which their happy climate at once inspired and
rendered innoxious, they seem .to ha vo passed
their days in a blissful ignorance of all that hu
man intellect has contrived for human misery,
and almost to have enjoyed an exemption from
the doom that followed man's first unhallowed
appetite for knowledge of good and ' evil. It is
appalling to think with what tremendous rapidity
the whole of these happy races were swept
away ! How soon, after the feet of civilized
Christians had touched their shores, those shores
were desolate, or filled only with mourning !
How soon, how frightfully soon, the swarming
myriads of idle and light-hearted creatures, who
came trooping from their fragrant woods to re
ceive them with smiles of welcome and jestures
of worship, and whose songs and shoutings first
hailed them so sweetly over their fresh and sun
ny bays, were plunged by the hands of those fa
tal visitants, into all the agonies of despair!
how soon released from them by a bloody exter
mination ! It humbles and almost crushes tha
heart, even at this distance of time, to think of
such a catastrophe, brought about by such in
struments. Tho learned, the educated, the re
fined, the champions of chivalry, the messengers
of the gospel of peace come to tho land of the
ignorant, the savage, the heathen. They find
them docile in their ignorance, submissive in
their rudeness, and grateful and affectionate in
their darkness ; and the result of the mission is
mutual corruption, misery, desolation ! The ex
perience or remorse of four centuries has not
yet been able to expiate the crime, or to reverse
the spell. Those once smiling and swarming
shores are still silent and mournful ; or resound
only to the groans of the slave and lash of the
slave-driver or to the strange industry of ano
ther race, dragged by a yet deeper guilt from a
distant land, and now calmly establishing them
selves on the graves of their oppressors.
QO
NAPOLEON.
The Duke of Rovigo, in the last volume of
his Memoirs, gives the following as his opinion
of the character of Napoleon :
44 1 have related, with the most rigid adhe
rence to truth, every circumstance that has come
to my knowledge during that long and active ca
reer of glory which is unparalleled in the annals
of history. The hero has fallen, and the Sove
reigns who entered upon a crusade to dethrone
him hav e long since discovered that if he had not
arrested tho progress of the French Revolution,
they would all have been hurled before him from
their thrones. They were much beholden to him
for what he had done in support of every mo
narchy ; and such is the misfortune of his situa
tion, that it will yet be embittered by the re
proaches of the very nations that 'had coalesced
against him, whon they shall have discovered that
the hopes with which they were fed when they
were called on to the struggle were nothing more
than snares held out to their credulity, in order
to exasperate them against France, and thus ac
complish the downfall of her ruler. They will
call tho Emperor to a strict account for what
they expected from him on behalf of the common
interest, without the obstacles thrown in his way;
and as mankind is generally unjust in its judg
ments, they will forget that the abolished feudal
laws in every country which he added to his sys
tem, or to his power. They will demand of him
why he abandoned the cause of tho people, to
embrace the cause of kings ; and they will add,
that the face of the whole world might havo been
changed after the battles of Austerlit7,, of Fried-
land, or of Wagram, if the Emperor Napoleon
had still had it in his power to do what would not
havo been difficult of accomplishment for the
First Consul, or for General Buonaparte, whose
career was marked by the most lofty ideas. He
will be styled a tyrant, and yet this was the very
character he stood in need of. No man ever
did so much good, or met with so much ingrati
tude. Great stress will be laid upon the sacri
fices which humanity had to endure, and the wars
which it was not in his power to avert; but no
notice will betaken of the service which he ex
clusively conferred, of drying up the sources of
our civil discords, and of arresting the torrents of
national blood they had caused to flow. The
most rigid severity will be exercised towards him,
as a compensation for the profound honiago of
which he was once the object. The bitterest re
proaches will be directed against him, by those
who were habitually conspiring against his power
and his existence. This will bo much easier for
them than tho language of justification. In spite,
mwever, of all these attacks, his brilliant career
remains to defend him ; it is exclusively the off
spring of his genius, and his immortal works will
ong remain as objects ot comparison difficult ol

ardently Wished for a son'; my wishes have been grati

more, but it was easy to perceive, that were it not for the
Empress and his son, he would have let the nations of
Europe loose upon those who had set them against him."

will be admitted, that no one possessed in so
great a degree as himself the means of render
