Sir,
I have the honor to transmit a
report prepared in obedience to thi
resolution of the Senate of yester
day. J
I have the honor to be,
Wih great respect, air,
Your obedLnt servant,
ALBERT GALLATIN.
To the Honorable the President of
the Senate.
REPO R T.
The Secretary of the Treasury, in o
bedience to the resolution of the Se
nate of the second insi. respectfully
Reports :-L.
That the statement annexed to the
report made to the Senate on the *c-j
cood day of March, 1809, contained!
all the dividends made by the bank of!
the United States from its establish
ment to the date of the report as sta
ted to the Treasury by the bank.
1 hat the annexed table (A.) being
I a transcript of the above mentioned
'statement, with the addition of the
! dividends made on the 1st day of July,
1809, and on the 1st day of Januarv
last, embraces not nnlv th<> nrri;n..»
semi-annual dividends ©f four per cent
i but also all the extra dividends which
are within the knowledge of this de
|p Ttment, and which, it is believed,
'have ever been made by the bank ;
making in the whole, an average of
8 13 36 per cent, a year.
1 bat there remained to the credit
of the hank, after payment of the di- j
videntl made on the first day of Jnnu
-.ry last, a surplus of 40J,44b dollars,
consisting of two items, viz: 12 5,000
dollars, designated bv the name of
“ General Bank Estate,” intended as
an offset against the decay and presum
i d lass, in case of salo of the real es
tate of the bank, th.t estate h.iviny
been paid for from the capital stock,
and not from the profits of the bink;
and 264,410 dollars, designated b^
the name rf «*Contingent Fund,” in
tended in the first place to cover losses
arising from bn 1 debts, not yet avtu
a ly lost f mti th- residue of which, if
■my, will be applicable to another ex
tra dividend.
1 h «t the nominal profit resulting 0

ceriaiucu without an investigation <* j
s’l the weekly returns made to Ui'is de

| urns from which die actual loss sns*
i ained by each office can be known,
i But that the statement (B) shows
the permanent capital given to encji
ufRce of discount and deposit; the bHl
nce due in account cum n: by. the
offices to the hank (exclusive and in
addition to the said permanent capi- ^
tal) on the 27ih day of March laJtj
‘.he amount of the nores actually cli3
connted and due to the hank by the
las: returns, specifying the amoun t dis
counted at Philadelphia, and at each
office respectively ; and an estimate of
The gross amount of the annual expen
ses and losses of the bank, including
;is several offic< s, by which it appears
that the annual expenses being about
125,000 dollars a year, the ascertain*
ed losses must in the whole have a.
counted to about 35,000 dollars a
year.
