NOTE. In the preceding statement, wines are calculated at the rates of duty which will be payable after March 3d 1834. In the additions there will be found some slight inaccuracies, arising from the inaccurate manner, in which the original statements are printed.

The foregoing official statement exhibits the rates of duties chargeable upon the various articles of import under the Tariff of 1828, and also the rates of duties that will be chargeable upon the same articles according to the Tariff of 14th July, 1832, which comes into operation on the 3d March, 1833. In the parallel columns may be seen the amount of duties on each particular article, and the aggregate of duties on the whole, which accrued in the year above mentioned, and which will accrue under the new Tariff, assuming the quantities and description of imported articles to be the same. This document will be found valuable in many respects;-to the merchant, as furnishing a correct specification of the quantities and value of all articles hitherto imported into the United States from abroad, and also to the politician, as showing the extent of the reduction of revenue effected by the Act of July, 1832.
