Under those acts, 65,171 warrants for 160 acres each, and 219 or 40 acres each, have alrea dy been issued. A Claims to the amount of 9,000 have been suspended or rejoe'ed,' and it is estima ted that the number of claims yet to be presented will amount to 17,003. The whole amount of warrants issuable under: the act above mentioned'may, "therefore", .be esti mated as equal to 90,000 6f'l60acres each, which at 8200each, "will amount to 18,000,000. Of ' . i . - ' course, until ttiese warrants shall be exhausted a Iare proportion of the revenue, from sales of pub lic lands must be hereby diverted. ; ' : '. ; My predecessor estimated the revenue fi-om pub lic lands, for the last fiscal year, to be received al tlte Treasury, at 83,000,000.

Adding, to that balance the instalment ? to Mexico, due in185l, three million three hundred and six ty thousand, and the revenue from lands diverted two million dollars, would made an aggregate of seventeen million, six hundred -and,. seventy-six thousand five hundred and cTCntccn dollars and one cent; from which deducting the estimated de ficit on the lit J;ily, 1851, 'ten million five hun dred and. forty-seven thousand ninety-two. dollars and scveritv-thrcc cents, would have made art es timated bafance in the Treasury, on that day of seven million otic hundred twenty-nine -thousand 11111 Oil OIK IIUIlurOM HV.11V uc i iiuuoauu 1 in iiou unv. -luii k j . cents. .Tlie Secretary then proposes that authority bo given to raise such sum, not exceeding j sixteen mil-ion five hundred thousand dollars, as may be found necessary, from, tirrle to time, by the. issuo of stock, or Treasury notes, on such' terms' of inter est (hot exceeding six per ccn'v.)tand repayment as tlie President in his discretion sh.ill. previous to' their being issued, "think fit to order. . To provide tor the. iiutalment due 'Mexico in the fiscal year ending Sprh June, 1852 ; to secure means for the extinguishment of the public debV and to ensure a stillieiency for all tho expenditures of the Government, it will be necessary,; in the rpin:on of. the Sccrftary, to adopt measures for means for which purpose are'to be found in raising the I duties on imports. . The Secretary, thus states" the uaiuiu ui iiio moamcaiions -wnicn it appears ex pedient to make id! the existing tarffr vv f.trS-Y: " The rates of duty are, in- my opinion, too low, especially 6h.aiticles.similar to our own sta ples; I conceive that the revenue has suffered materially, from this fcircumstance. -Indeed, I arn cximpelled to believe that it wotild have been greai ly 'diminished, but for':extraodinary demand far our .breadstufTs and nrovisions, produced by : the famine iikJEurope in 1847, and Jo'a great extent nntTniir1 1st.- li.-l'eVii-v'r n Wun-l :n i 43 " "C under . these favorable circumstances, the average revenue from woolens, cottons, Jiempen goodsV iron, sugar, hemp unmanufactured, salt, and coa, has fallen under the act of 46 j from fourteen rnij lion one hundred sixty-two thousand six" hundred and seven dollars to thirteen million three hundreti ninety-two thousand six hundred twenty-four, dol lars and hlty cents- taking the iaverage from the receipts of 1845'- '46 and those of 1848-9 ; being an "average diminution of seven hundred sixty-nine thousand nine hundred' eighty-two dollars and fif ty cents; the loss of annual, revenue being as fol lows i On cottons,': On hempen, goods "8918,894 00 01,794 50 181,741 5p 34t?,138 Op 70,030 00 $l,580,r89a OP On sugar, I ' On salt, On coal, The gain as follows i ' On "woolens, ' . : ; r j; 0n iron, " ' . :j ';.

The very small increase oti the staples' of wool lens ', iron. and unmanufactured hemp, -.compared with a vast injury j occasioned toour productioiji and the diminution thereby of our power of consump tion, cannot fail to attract attention; r while' on the oUier' artical named, the revenue and production have both suiTerd roaterially. jit is believed that.thb revenue cold be greatly "increased by increasing 'the duties of these and others articais."
