The public debt on the Ist of.) uly last; as appears by
the boobs of the Treasury, amounted to uns billion sev
en_ hundred and forty, thousand millions. six hundred

Iby not tar from five hundred .miltious, Held as it, is for
I the most part by our own people. it has become a sub

Privileges like these would render the possession of
such securities, to the amount limited, ; most, desirable
to eirery•person 'of small meatus who niight ha able to
