For the sake of better illustrating the comparisons which I have frequently made in the course of this work, between the territorial wealth and extent of the United States and New Spain, I shall here subjoin statistical tables which I owe to the kindness of M. Gallatin, the treasurer of the United States, at Washington, drawn up from the customhouse books. These tables, exhibit the value of the exports of the United States, both in home and foreign produce, during the four years preceding 1803; the state of exportation of home produce in 1803; the state of the custom-house revenue in 1802 and 1803, drawn up, for the purpose of shewing the amount of the commerce, on different points of the coast; and finally, a state of the tonnage of the vessels of the United States, from 1799 to 1802. I preferred tables framed for the years 1802 and 1803, to more recent materials, because these tables embrace the period corresponding to the greatest part of the information, collected by me relative to Mexico. 1799 1800 1801 1802 1803 I..
