These sums were applied to the payment of salaries on the 
civil establishment, the expences of the several departments, 
the repairs of Government buildings, and the contingencies 
and extraordinaries of the colony, to all which, by a prudent; 
economy, they were much more than adequate ; for, on clos- 
ing the public accounts the year after the departure of Lord 
Macartney from his government, there was a balance in the 
Treasury, amounting to between two and three hundred 
thousand rixdollars, after every expence of the year had 
been liquidated.
