While we were thus carrying to Europe these valuable articles of colonial produce, we imported from thence, and particularly from Great-Britain, great quantities of manufactured goods, and other articles, which were again exported, and principally to the West-Indies, and Spanish American Colonies. In 1806, goods free of duty and subject to duties ad valorem to the value of $18,571,477 and in 1807, to the value of $18,564,507 were exported from the United States. Of these in 1806, $2,383,910 and in 1807, $2,080,114 were free of duty. The whole amount of goods paying ad valorem duties, imported in the years 1806 and 1807, was as follows, viz. In 1806 1807 $54,461,957 Between one third and one quarter, therefore, of all the goods paying duties ad valorem, imported during these years, were again exported. These goods were imported from the different quarters of the world in 1807, in the following proportions, viz. And principally from the following countries and places in each. quarter, viz. Dolls. From the United Kingdom of G. Britain and Ireland, 38,901,838 Russia, 1,804,860 Hamburg, Bremen, and other parts of Germany, 2,190,732 French European ports on the Atlantic, 3,371,489 347,571 67,138 112,273 91,088 1,188 636,432 Trieste and other Austrian ports on the Adriatic, 203,461 Mocha, Aden, and other ports on the Red Sea, 49,447 imported from Of these goods, it appears, that $43,525,320 were the United Kingdom of Great-Britain and Ireland and their dependencies, $3,812,065 from France and its dependencies, and the residue, being $11,318,532 from other parts of the world. The other articles of foreign produce and manufacture of considerable value exported from the United States, when their trade was free, and before the late war between the United States and Great-Britan, were wines, spirits, teas of various kinds, spices of all kinds, paints, lead, and manufactures of lead, iron, fish, and many others of minor importance. On an average of the years 1805, 1806, and 1807, the annual quantity of wines, spirits, teas, cocoa, and pepper, exported, was as follows, viz. That this trade in foreign articles, or the carrying trade, as it has been called, added much to our national wealth cannot be doubted. While it increased our commercial tonnage, it enriched the public treasury, as well as individuals. Many of the goods and other articles exported were not entitled to a drawback, in consequence of the owners not having complied with the law on that subject. The duties collected and secured on articles exported, without the benefit of drawback, and which, of course, were not paid by consumers in the United States, during the years 1805, 1806, and 1807, amounted to the following sums, viz.— Add to this the amount of the three and a half per cent. retained on the drawbacks, and which for the same years, was as follows, viz.→ and the whole amount received into the public treasury, for these three years, from duties, in consequence of this trade, and which was not paid by the people of the United States, will be $5,253,697 68 being about one ninth of all the duties, collected or secured, during that period. In 1816, the amount of revenue derived from foreign articles exported, but not entitled to drawback, was $845,789 44. The amount, which this trade has added to the wealth of individuals, and of course to the nation, it is impossible to ascertain with any degree of precision. Some light, however, may be thrown on this subject, in the subsequent chapters.
