The goods, wares and merchandize of domestic growth or manufacture, included in this statement, are estimated at forty-five millions, four hundred and sixty-seven thousand, four hundred and seventy-seven dollars, and those of foreign growth or manufacture at thirtysix millions, two hundred and thirty-one thousand, five hundred and ninety-seven dollars. It is presumed that for the sums total, a reference will be had in this, and in all other instances of inquiry, to the GENERAL STATISTICAL TABLE, to aid a comparative view, and to answer the interesting questions that may arise from any thing in natural connection therewith. "Although SULLY was not ignorant of the minutia, his mind was chiefly occupied by grand results."

TABLE of the Value and Destination of the Exports of the United States for the year 1804.

TABLE, CONTINUED.

*From the 1st of October to the 31st of December, inclusive.

To the foregoing detail and summary of exports for the year 1804 only, we here add another for the year 1803, chiefly to shew the new method of classing the different articles under the appropriate and descriptive heads, by which we have embraced the sums total only, in the last item. The next table presents an interesting view of all the exports yet ascertained at all the custom-houses of the United States, but it is to be lamented that these are generally short of the truth, owing to the unwillingness that many individuals have shewn to inform (unnecessarily as they conceive) any one of the extent of their trade; but, as by these errors the imports sometimes appear to over-run the exports, they injure their own mercantile reputation, with that of commerce generally, in the eyes of the legislature, whenever the delusive balance is thus presented. In following this subject, it has been discovered that at least five millions were omitted in one year, yet the general official account is suffered to stand till the next edition of this work, before which time, if these facts can be more fully discovered by any new means, they will be given to the public; in the mean time, shippers are cautioned to be more attentive to their future entries of articles for exportation, for their general regard to truth as well as for the general weal.
