Note. To this I should, for the reasons stated in the preceding Section, add, at least, one million of dollars, in order to cover the expences in the Departments of War and Foreign Affairs, not included in Mr. Estera's estimate; so that Fourteen millions and a half of dollars may be taken as the lowest (boná fide) Expenditure in the year. In 1829, when the War expences are brought down to the Minimum of Seven millions. Thirteen millions and a half will cover all the ordinary charges.

I have already expressed my opinion as to the probability of this sum being realized.
