• VIII.—Provision for a sinking fund.
• IX.—Our revenues in the aggregate have continued to answer expectation as to productiveness, but if the various objects pointed out, and which appear to be necessary to the public interest, are to be accomplished, it can hardly be hoped that there will not be a necessity for some moderate addition to them.

• XI.—Provision for the second instalment due to the Bank of the United States.
• XII.—For interest in the unsubscribed debt during the present year. Quere.
