public treasury, from the 14th day of May, 1781, to the
Ift of January, 1783, amounts to 2,726,334 dollars.
That the whole expenditure for
that period amounts 10 3,131,046
Out of which has been paid to
the army, 439,574
That there was expended for ra
tions for the army in 1782, 617,152
That the quarterma^er general's
department in 1782, is charged
with 343, 6 97
And the medical department in
that year, 22,629
That the expenditures in 1782 exceeded the receipts
404,713 dollars, which was (applied by a circulation in
the notes of the financier.
Upon comparing the accounts of the public receipts
and expenditu res (exhibited to Congress) with the
books of the treasury, they found that they pad been
fairly and regulars slated; and it appears to them
that the business of that office is conduced with great
diligence and accuracy, and in conformity with the
rules laid down by Congress.
With refpe€ t to the foregoing money tranfaflions,
the committee confined their enquiry principally to
what refpe&ed the fu perintendant of finance, and find
that the bills of exchange which he has drawn is duly
credited at the treasury-
