* This sum is estimated by adding to the ascertained product of the year 1791 an ascertained excess of the product of the first two quarters of the year 1792, beyond the product of the first two quarters of the year 1791 being 252,319 dollars and eleven cents, and the estimated product for a half year of the additional duties on imports laid during the last session of Congress and commencing on the 1st. of July last, being 261,750 dollars. According to the information hitherto received at the Treasury, there is every probability that the amount of the duties for the last half year of 1792 will fully equal this calculation of their product; if in the ratio of the first half year, will exceed it.
