Debate on the Official conduct of the Secretary of the Treasury. (Continued.)
Friday, March 1.
A continuation of Mr. Madison's speech.
The law of August 4, 1790, authorised the President to cause to be borrowed 12,000,000 of dollars, to be applied to the foreign debt of the United States. A subsequent law of August 12, 1790, authorised another loan of 2,000,000 of dollars, to be applied to the domestic debt of the United States.
A power to make these loans was delegated on 28th of August 1790, to the Secretary by a general commission in the usual form, referring to the several acts above mentioned; but without any farther discrimination of the loans to be made. As the law however for applying loans to the foreign object was prior in date, the presumption would rather be that it was to have a priority of execution; that the first money borrowed was to belong to the first object provided for. It was unnecessary, however, to dwell on this consideration, because the President had removed all uncertainty by the precise explanations and instructions which accompanied the power to the Secretary, and which ought in truth to be deemed a part of the commission.
The instruction having been more than once read to the committee, he would content himself with referring to it. [The part referred to, is in the following words: "I do hereby make known to you, that in the execution of the said trust, you are to observe and follow the orders and directions following, viz: Except where otherwise especially directed by me, you shall employ in the negotiation of any loan or loans which may be made in any foreign country, Wm. Short Esq. You shall borrow, or cause to be borrowed, on the best terms which may be found practicable, within the limitations prescribed by law, as to time of repayment and rate of interest, such sum or sums, as shall be sufficient to discharge, as well as instalments or parts of the principal of the foreign debt, which now are due, or shall become payable to the end of the year 1791, as all interests and arrears of interest, which now are, or shall become due, in respect to the said debt, to the same end of the year 1791. And you shall apply, or cause to be applied, the monies which shall be so borrowed with all convenient dispatch, to the payment of the said instalments, and parts of the principal and interest, and arrears of interest of the said debt. You shall not exceed the amount of the loan which you shall make, or cause to be made, beyond the sum which shall be necessary for completing such payment, unless it can be done upon terms more advantageous to the United States, than those upon which the
residue of the said debt shall stand or be. But if the said residue, or any part of the same can be paid off by new loans, upon terms of advantage to the United States, you shall cause such further loans as may be requisite to be made, and the proceeds thereof to be applied accordingly. And for carrying into effect the objects and purposes aforesaid: I do hereby further empower you to make or cause to be made, with whomsoever it may concern, such contract or contracts, being of a nature relative thereto, as shall be found needful or conducive to the interest of the United States."] By this formal act issued along with the commission to the Secretary, the President designated the object to which the loans to be made, were to be applied; and by declaring the object to be that provided for by the act of August 4, 1790, he expressly placed the loan, under the authority and purview of that act: so that the moment the money should be borrowed, it was to stand legally appropriated to its specified object; as much as if another law, authorising another loan, for another purpose, had not existed.
This arrangement of the President was the more proper, not only because provision for the payment of the foreign debt had been the primary object of the legislature, and the payment of the French debt, the anxious wish of his constituents; but because payments to France were no longer matter of option, but of strict and positive obligation on the United States. In proof of this, he stated that the debt to France, calculated to the end of 1791, and computing the livre at 5 4-10 to a dollar, amounted to 4,814,354 dollars; whilst the payments actually made, computing the Florin at two and a half to a dollar, amounted to no more than 3,372,717; leaving a balance at the end of 1791, of 1,442,097 dollars. Adding to this balance, the instalments due for 1792, amounting to 638,833, there were to be paid within that year 2,080,936 dollars. The entire payment, however, composed of 656,500 dollars paid in Europe, and 726,000, put to the account of St. Domingo (at 40 to 1 only 444,263 83, were actually paid) amounted to 1,382,500 dollars, leaving due at the end of 1792, a balance of 698,485 dollars.
Here he adverted to and read a paragraph in the report of the Secretary, page sixteen, where in allusion to the measure of drawing bills in in the latter part of 1792, he says "I felt myself the more at liberty to do it, because it did not interfere with a complete fulfilment of the public engagements in regard to the foreign debt. It could be done consistent with a full reimbursement of all arrears and instalments which had accrued on account of that debt." Mr. M. observed that as he could not reconcile this paragraph with the calculations which he had stated, and
which were drawn from official documents, he must regard it as an unquestionable error, produced by some hasty view of the subject.
Returning to the commission, Mr. M. repeated that all the money which that instrument, defined and qualified by the instruction annexed to it, authorised the Secretary to borrow, was actually and specifically appropriated to the payment of the foreign debt, and under circumstances particularly urgent, in relation to a part of it.
In what manner had this trust been carried into execution? It was to be observed with regret, that on the very day, on which the commission and instruction issued from the President, the Secretary commenced his arrangements for diverting part of a loan, accepted and ratified by virtue of his commission, to a purpose different from that specified and required by his instruction. That a fact of so extraordinary a complexion, might be grounded on the most unexceptionable proof, Mr. M. said he should take the liberty of supporting it by the authority of the Secretary himself. Here he read from the Secretary's letter dated August 28, 1790, to the Dutch Houses from whom the loan had been accepted, the following passages, viz: "I should also wish, for particular reasons, that the business may be so regulated as to give it the form of two loans, one for two millions under the first act, and the other for one million under the second. But neither about this am I so solicitous as to be willing it should constitute an embarrassment."
"I desire a million and a half of this sum as a payment to France under the direction of Mr. Short, our charge des affaires at that court, whose orders for that purpose you will please to follow."
The aspect here presented by a comparison of the several documents was singular and remarkable. The subordinate officer appeared in direct opposition to the chief magistrate. The agent was seen overruling by his own orders, the orders of his principal. The language of the President, was—By virtue of the power vested in me by law, I desire the money to be borrowed to the discharge of the instalments and interest of the foreign debt.—The language of the Secretary was—I desire a part of the money only to that purpose, and a part to be brought to the U. S. for other purposes. He left every member to make his own reflection on this view of the subject. He would only observe in general, that it demonstrated the truth asserted in the proposition, that the Secretary had violated both the law of August 4, 1790, and the instructions of the President relating to it.
He then proceeded to a more dis-
tinct view of the two points particularly stated in the resolution.
The first was, "that a certain portion of the principal borrowed under the act of August 4th, 1790, had been applied to the payment of the interest falling due on that principal." As the fact would not be presumed, be denied, he forebore to quote that part of the documents which admitted and authenticated it.
He would, however, premise, to any observations on it, a cursory view of the nature of appropriations.
It was unnecessary to repeat the emphatic remarks on this subject which had fallen from the member from Pennsylvania (Mr. Findley.) It was sufficiently understood, he concluded, that appropriations of money were of a high and sacred character; that they were the great bulwark which our constitution had carefully and jealously established against executive usurpations. He meant only take notice of the different plans into which appropriations might be moulded and of the particular operation which ought to be given to them.
One of the plans was that of appropriating specified funds to the specified objects, in which the supposed certainty of the funds was adjusted to the supposed importance of the object.
The other plan formed all the branches of revenue into an aggregate fund, on which the several objects should have a priority of claim, according to the superiority of importance.
It was evident, that in both cases, the legislature alone possessed the competent authority. The exclusive right of that department of the government to make the proper regulations, was the basis of the utility and efficacy of appropriations.
There was a third question incident to the doctrine of appropriations, viz: Whether, under specific appropriations, such as had been adopted by Congress, the executive authority could, without special permission of the law, apply the excess of one fund to the aid of a deficient one; or borrow from one fund for the object of another. On this question there might perhaps be a difference of opinion. He would only remark, that admitting such a discretion to be implied in the trust of executing the laws it would still be requisite that the due function of the executive should be given, that a regular account should be kept between the different funds, and that all advances from one to the other, should be replaced as soon as possible. This was equally necessary to the preservation of order in the public finances, and to a proper respect for the authority of the laws.
In the present case it did not appear that the monies taken at different times from the loans designated

by the President, and thereby placed under the appropriation of the act of August 4th, 1793, to the foreign debt, had ever been replaced. It did not appear that any such replacement was regularly planned or provided for. It was particularly worthy of observation, moreover that the only use within the United States for which any loan in Europe could be assigned, was that of the sinking fund; that the trustees of this fund had never been even informed of the drafts; that if all the monies drawn had been carried to the sinking fund, the limited sum of 2,000,000 dollars would have been exceeded; and that the statements needed; and that in fact been so wound up, as not a single dollar Secretary, that out in purchasing of the money laid had been charged to the public debt to the United States; altho' such were legal for purpose to which they principal applicable, and such the reason assigned for making
He did not go into a particular proof that the sum drawn into the United States, after subtracting the whole sum placed to a foreign account, exceeded the sum of 2,000,000 of dollars, because the fact had been concealed on the other side particularly by the statement of the member from Connecticut, (Mr. H. Houk.)
Thus it appeared clearly, in confirmation of the first point, that the application of a certain portion of the principal borrowed in Europe, to the payment of the interest was not a mere transposition of monies, to prevent the sending them backwards or forwards, nor an advance of money from one overflowing fund in favor of a deficient one, but an absolute diversion of appropriated money; and consequently a violation of the law making the appropriation.
The second point in the resolution related to the drawing of monies into the United States without the instruction of the President.
This point had been fully established by the documents and explanations applied to the first. They had done more: They had demonstrated that the instructions of the President which dedicated the loans, to be made under his commission, to a foreign object, were an express prohibition of drafts for any domestic objects. It was sufficient therefore to refer to the instructions of the President, and to the contradictory steps taken by the Secretary.
Two steps have been made to exclude the force of these official proofs.
The first appealed to the President's speech at the opening of the session in 1793; to the report of the Secretary made in consequence of it to the house; and to the supplementary act of Congress passed in conformity to the report.
Had the circumstances involved in this transaction been attended to by those who seemed to rely on it. Mr. Madison was persuaded that a reference to it would never have been made by gentlemen on that side. As they had thought fit, however, to draw arguments from that source, it was proper to give an answer to them; and the best answer would be a naked statement of facts.

Letter from the Commissioners in Belgium.
"Douay, March 8.
"We send you three dispatches from General Dumourier. By a letter from General Miranda, we
have received the disagreeable intelligence that Liege is occupied by the Austrians. It appears happily, by the same letter, that our troops are in a good situation. General Dumourier, in his letter, consoles us for the check experienced at Aix La Chapelle, which rendered the raising of the siege of Maastricht necessary. "Unless the people absolutely lose their senses," says he. "I cannot see how 25 or 30,000 can venture to pass the Meuse before more than 50,000 united, who for some days past, have had no other object than to defend that passage. I am here engaged in two sieges; should they be prolonged, I shall not persist. I shall myself join the army, and bring with me a reinforcement of more than 20,000. What has happened should give us no uneasiness, provided we confine ourselves for two weeks to a regular defensive system, which we shall soon change into a terrible offensive one."
The Marine Minister informed the Convention that the United States of America, in fraternal affection towards the French Republic, had celebrated her victories by repeated festivities.
LONDON, March 21.
From a late Dublin Paper.
On Saturday last, the Attorney General, in the Court of King's Bench, filed an information ex officio, against the Printer of the Hibernian Journal, for publishing a scandalous and seditious libel, tending to excite his Majesty's subjects to take arms.
On the same day, the Attorney General moved to renew the conditional order conceived in the last term, that the Defendant should show three causes, why an information should not be filed against Edward Goghegan, Gen. for framing, and against Michael O'Leary for printing and publishing a libel against the Right honorable John Forster, the Speaker of the House of Commons, which was granted accordingly.
Monday, the Attorney General filed six ex officio informations, against William Cleary, tanner; Wm. Tennant, merchant; John Hassett, woolen draper; Henry Hassett, broker; Wm. Magee, Printer; Samuel Neilson, wholesale woolen draper; John Boyle, merchant; Robert Simms, tanner; Wm. Simms, tanner; Gilbert Millwayn, linen draper; John Tisdall, printer; Robert Calwell, stationer, and John Rabb, printer; all of Belfast, for six several libels on his Majesty and his Government, published in the Northern Star, a Belfast newspaper.
The same day, the Attorney General filed an ex officio information against Mr. Peter Cooney, Printer of the morning Post, in this city, for publishing a scandalous and seditious libel of, and concerning the King and his Government.
He also filed two ex officio informations against Wm. Pawlett Carey, of the city of Dublin, printer of the Rights of Irishmen, for two scandalous and seditious libels of the like tendency with the last, in his newspaper.
A similar information was filed by the Attorney General, against James O'Conner, of Sligo, the printer of the Sligo Morning Herald, for a similar libelous and seditious publication in that newspaper.
And a like information was filed up by the Attorney General, against George Hargrave and John Gloker, both of Limerick, printers and proprietors of the Limerick Herald, for a similar libel published in that paper.
BY THE LORD LIEUTENANT AND COUNCIL OF IRELAND.
A PROCLAMATION. WESTMORELAND.
Whereas it appears by the report from the lords committee, appointed to enquire into the causes of the disorders and disturbances which prevail in several parts of this kingdom, that certain seditious ill-effected persons, in several parts of this kingdom, particularly in the town of Belfast, have endeavored to foment and encourage discontent, and by seditious publications circulated amongst the people, and calculated to defame the government and the parliament, have endeavored to render the people dissatisfied with their condition, and the laws.
And whereas it appears to us, by the said report, that several bodies of men have been collected into armed associations, and have been levied and arrayed in the said town of Belfast, and that arms and gunpowder, to a very large amount, have been sent thither; that bodies of men in arms are drilled and exercised by day and by night, and that the declared object of the said armed bodies is redress of alleged grievances, but that the obvious intentions of most of them appears to be to overawe the parliament and the government, and to dictate to both.
And whereas these dangerous and seditious proceedings tend to the disturbance of the public peace, the obstruction of good order and government, to the great injury and public credit, and the subversion of the constitution, and have raised great alarms in the minds of his majesty's loyal subjects.
Now we the lord lieutenant and council, being determined to maintain the public peace, against all attempts to disturb the same, and being desirous to forward all such persons as might unadvisedly incur the penalties of the law in this behalf, by concurring in practices of a tendency so dangerous and alarming, do hereby strictly charge all persons whatsoever, in allegiance to his majesty, to abstain from committing such offences, respectively.
And we do charge and command the magistrates, sheriffs, bailiffs and other peace officers, having jurisdiction with the said town of Belfast, and the several districts adjacent thereto, to be careful in preserving the peace within the same, and to disperse all seditious and unlawful assemblies, and if they shall be resisted, to apprehend the offenders, that they may be dealt with according to law.
Given at the Council Chamber at Dublin, the 11th day of March 1793.
God save the King.
AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE.
BOSTON, May 4. We have seen a letter just re-
ceived from Paris, which mentions that the lady (of that unfortunate friend to America, the Marquis de la Fayette, may be soon expected to sail for the United States—where she will receive a cordial welcome.
FAYETTEVILLE, April 30.
A letter from Wilmington says, 'a small French privateer, manned chiefly by Americans, have taken a station off the entrance of our harbour, for the purpose of capturing all the British vessels which are making for or sailing from this port; one of the latter was taken a few days since, and carried into Charlestown.'
LEXINGTON, June 22.
From the reply to the memorial presented to their High Excellencies, by Lord Auckland, on the 18th of March 1793, it appears, that the French arms were repelled by those of Austria and Prussia from the cities of Maastricht and Venlo, and compelled to raise the siege of Williamstadt, after a bombardment kept up for three weeks—that the cities of Sessenbergen and Husdon, have resisted the attacks of the French with equal valor.
It is reported, that the Indians have lately taken three men prisoners near Fort Hamilton, one of which made his escape.
At a Court of Quarter Sessions continued and held for the County of Fayette, at the Court-house in Lexington, on Tuesday the thirteenth day of June, 1793.
