their natural bounds, but are believed to be fully adequate to the support of all the national force that can be usefully and efficiently employed. The ability and will of the United States faithfully to perform their engagements, are universally known; and the terms of loans will in no shape whatever be affected by the want of confidence in either. They must, however, depend, not only on the state of public credit, and on the ability to lend, but also on the existing demand for capital required for other objects. Whatever this may be, the money wanted by the public must be purchased at its market price. Whenever the amount wanted for the service of the year, or the whole amount of stock in the market, shall exceed certain limits, it may be expected that legal interest wid not be sufficient to obtain the sums required. In that case the most simple and direct is also the cheapest and safest mode. It appears much more] eligible to pay at once the difference, either by a premium in lands or by allowing a higher rate of interest,than to increase the amount of stock created, or to attempt any operation which might injuriously affect the circulating medium of the country. This difficulty, and it is the only serious one which has been anticipated, will not, indeed, if analysed, appear very formidable. For to take an extreme case, and supposing even forty millions of dollars to be borrowed at eight instead of six per cent. a year the only difference would consist in the additional payment of eight hundred thousand dollars a year, until the principal is reimbursed, a payment inconvenient indeed, and to be avoided if practicable, but inconsiderable if compared either with the effects of other means of raising money, or with some other branches of the public expenditure. It appears from the preceding estimates, that no thing more may be strictly wanted for defraying, during the year 1812, the expenses as yet authorised by law, than an authority to borrow a sum equal to that which may be reimbursed on account of the principal of the public debt. With a view to the ensung years, and considering the aspect of pub lic affairs presented by the executive, and the mea sures of expense which he has recommended, it has been attempted to show, 1. That a fixed revenue of about nine millions of dollars is necessary and sufficient both under the existing situation of the United States, and in the event of their assuming a different attitude. 2. That an addition to the rate of duties on importations is at present sufficient for that purpose, although in the course of events it may require some aid from other sources of revenue. 3. That a just reliance may be placed on obtaining loans to a considerable amount, for defraying the extraordinary expences which may be incurred beyond the amount of revenue above stated. 4. That the peace revenue of the United States will be sufficient without any extraordinary exer tions, to discharge in a few years the debt which may be thus necessarily incurred.

Also consulting our own convenience, as well as the accommodation of our readers (who might feel disappointed in receiving a whole sheet of figures) we have determined 90 far to deviate from the plan offered in the prospectus as to proceed gradually with the publication of these highly interesting tables, somewhat in the following manner: The present number contains an account of the po pulation of the United States at four different periods-1753, 1790, 1800 and 1810;-the three last from official documents. We shall next commence a comparative view of the several counties and the several states, by the enumerations of 1790, 1800 and 1810;-after which will follow a statement of the population of all the towns, townships, hundreds or other minor divisions of the various counties of the different states, clearly and distinctly arranged, as laid down in the official papers; ac, companied by such remarks as may be deemed necessary to the complete understanding of the whole subject, and with some interesting tables growing out of the general results, comparative and expla natory.

As the matter will be very much compressed, we expect that all these statements may be con tained in about twenty of our heavy pages. The Chronicle. SAVANNAH, Nov. 16. Serious fracas. Within the last three or four days some serious disturbances have taken place between the American seamen and the crews of the French privateers La Vengeance, and L'Agile, (or Francaise) which had been lying in this port for some time past.
