The Speaker laid before' the house the following address from the Public Treasurer : To the Honorable the General As sembly 6f North-Carolina. Gentlemen, In fulfilling that part of the law which requires an annual Report on the slate of the Treasury, it becomes my nuty to intorm you, that the Ke- ceijs at t&e Public Treasury of . . - - ' ;omT-v.aronna, irom tne iscaay 01 November, 1803, to the first day of November, 1804, including Arrear ages, the Public Taxes of every des cription, anil the Cotton-Gin Tax, a- mount to 24900, 6s. 4d. whichsum. added . to die balance remaining in yember, 1 803, viz. 57,422. 17s 4d. as reported to, the last General As ). the ast Central As- sembly, make an aggregate of 82,5231 1 3s 8d.

The Land-Office, by which you will understand the receipts at the Treasury for lands entered and paid for, has produced, from the 1st day of November, 1803, to the 1st day of Nbvember, 1604, the sum of 5,218 2s. 9d. and no more. This item, however,; is wholly and com- pletely covered y certificates and o- ther vouchers,' and does therefore, m Tin iTannfr. efiprt mv crfniral q count, in regard to the balance re maining in ihelTreasury on the 1st clay of the present month, as above stated. In compliance with the directions aurng the session, the General of the Assembly of 1802, I caused to Assembly would have to determine be purchased, since your last session at the same time who should print and in the moniSi of April last, 2000 it, which would occasion great con dollars of the 8 per cent Stock of the fusion.

This purchase was made in Philadel- .A This purchase was made in Philadel phia, at the rate of 106J-4 per cent and will, I hope, be satisfactory to you vt nu itiv iimvi vat TTiiiyii uvv-atliv due to the Statcjon her Stoeks in the With the interest which became funds of the United States up to' the ena ot aeptemoer quarter of the pre1 sent year, I have lately, that is to say on the 8th day of November, in stant, caused to be purchased, at the same place, 2000 other dollars of the 8 per cent stock of the U. States at the rate of 1(6 1-2 per cent. The warrants of Transfer for this last purchase are daily expected, and , shall' be placed on the books of the Loan Office of the United States for North-Carolina, so soon as they shall arrive, where, together with the purchase first above mentioned, and her other Stocks, they will stand to the credit of this State. As an act of justice towards the Sheriffs throughout the. State, who have been employed in collectings the Revenue of the last year, rI would ask leave to conclude this; report by? adding, that their4 punctuality in ac cotlnting for trie ; Taxes of 1803 does theni much credit, and exceeds! ail former example.
