A PROCLAMATION. By his Excellency ANTHONY WAYNE esq. Major General and Commander in Chief of the Legion of the United States of America.
WHEREAS the President of the United States of America, did nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, has appointed three Commissioners to hold a treaty with the hostile Indians at the lower Sandusky on or about the 1st of June next ensuing to endeavor to effect a permanent peace with those Indians.
And whereas it would be highly improper that any hostile attempts should be made against any of the Indian towns or settlements, whilst the aforesaid treaty is pending.
I am therefore ordered by the President and I do hereby in his name most solemnly forbid and restrain any attempts being made against any of the Indian towns or settlements until the result of the aforesaid treaty is known. Given under my hand and seal at head quarters, Legionville the twenty second day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand, seven hundred and ninety-three, and XVIIth year of the independence of the United States.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
BERLIN, January 5.
Most of the Prussian forces are ready; and the march of a body of troops, commanded by Gen. Mollendorff, to Poland, and that of a corps of 25 000 Russians to the Rhine, an event much talked of, are about to take place. The horses and equipage of M. Mollendorff are gone, and orders have this day been sent for the troops to march; the military chest has already been sent off. During the absence of Gen. Mollendorff, who departs the 12th of this month, the government of this residence will be conducted by Lieutenant General de Braun, in quality of vice-Governor. Major-General de Keunnen-vant has been appointed Vice-Inspector of the garrison, and Lieutenant Colonel Llanglais Vice-Commandant.
The regiments who are to reinforce the army of the King, before Mentz, and those who are from the army of Westphalia, are on their way. Two regiments of infantry are gone to Fulde, and 4 to Wefel, where the army of Westphalia is to concentrate. It will be commanded by the Duke of Brunswick, who is gone to Frankfort to receive orders from the King for that purpose. The contingency of Hanover is to be joined to it.
WARSAW, December 22.
Letters from Cherson state, that the Russians are fitting out a fleet at Sebastopol, to meet the French, who with to appear with a formidable fleet before Constantinople.
JULIERS, (Germany) January 3.
A few days ago a detachment of between 3 and 400 French Chasseurs had taken possession of the village of Buren, beyond the river Rur, in which situation they used to harass frequently the Austrian troops.
Major Mahony, who commanded the advanced posts, grew impatient of being thus molested, and resolved last night to give them chase, at the head of some companies of Cheveur Servians, supported by a troop of Hussars.
The French had their general, two officers, and between 40 and 50 rank and file killed: 40 of them were made prisoners; the rest favored by the darkness of the night, saved themselves by flight; and on the day following, upwards of 20 of them were found drowned in the river.
CALAIS, January 6.
A number of privateers are ready in this harbor to issue out immediately on a declaration of war. Troops are raising very fast in all the departments. I was sorry to observe the day before yesterday, several chests of hard money landed out of three English vessels, and immediately proceeded under a strong escort, to the National Treasury at Paris. Several chests of this kind have been landed within these three weeks.
OSTEND, January 16.
A recommendation has come to the merchants of Dunkirk, from the Executive Council of France, to fit out all the privateers they possibly can, against England.
In consequence of this, all the vessels at this port, that are fit for the purpose, are buying up; but no
merchant of this city will be engaged in fitting out any vessel against Great-Britain.
LONDON, Jan. 9. Extract of a letter from Dublin, December 24.
On Friday last Archibald Hamilton Rowen, esq. was arrested in his own house, by Oliver Carleton, esq. high Constable of the district of Dublin, by virtue of a judge's warrant, on a charge of having distributed libellous handbills; and having been brought before Mr. Justice Downes, he entered into recognizances, himself in the sum of 200l. and two sureties in 100l. each, for his appearance on the first day of next term.
Saturday morning, the printer of the Hibernian Journal, was arrested in his own house, on a warrant from Lord Viscount Clonmell, Chief Justice of his Majesty's Court of King's Bench, on a charge of having, on the 7th inst. published an advertisement of a libellous and seditious tendency. On being brought before his Lordship, he was pleased to direct, that the printer should be bound in the sum of 100l. and his two sureties 50l. each, for his appearance on the first day of next term.
Last night, James Napper Tandy, esq. who was concluded in the warrant under which Mr. Rowan was arrested, and who had gone to Castle Bellingham a day or two before, arrived in town, for the purpose, as we understand, of delivering himself up to the proper officer, and meeting the charge alledged him.
A QUERY.
Suppose a man should take with him to any of the coffee or ale houses, in St. James parish, a pocket Bible, and as the book is not likely to be known in that police neighbourhood, should read the following verse from Isaiah; would not some loyal listener think it necessary, in consequence of the promised reward, to give information to the committee
Isa. 9, 16 v. 'The leaders of people cause them to err, and they that are led by them are destroyed.'
Isa. 16, 10 and 11 verses. 'His watchmen are all blind; they are ignorant; yea, they are greedy dogs, that can never have enough.'
January 12.
Letters from Germany state, that 22,000 Prussians are advancing to join the army at Frankfort; and that 27,000 Imperialists are on their march in the Palatinate. Conde's army is still kept up, and he endeavors to augment it, by inviting the disbanded emigrants to join him.
The French Princes and the Elector of Cologne are gone to Munster.
January 14.
Orders have been made out at the war-office, for raising one hundred independent companies, of 100 men each. This will encrease the army 10,000 men. The mode of raising men in this manner, is found to be not only the most expeditious, but the cheapest to government.
January 18.
An immediate attack is meditated by the French against the islands of Guernsey and Jersey. The 54th regiment of foot is ordered to embark at Dover, to reinforce the former.

AMERICAN OCCURRENCES.
SALEM, February 5.
Captain Joseph Ingraham, of the Brig Hope , of Boston, on a voyage to the North-West coast of America in April 1791, made the first discovery (as he supposes) of a cluster of Islands; to which he gave the names of Washington, Adams, Lincoln, Federal, Franklin, Hancock, and Knox. Washington's island is in S. lat. 8. 52. long. W. of London 140. 29 and the rest lying near—Capt. Ingraham called on his officers to witness that he claimed them as a new discovery, and belonging to the United States of America.
BENNINGTON, February 8.
A letter from Canada to a gentleman in this town informs that a conspiracy had lately been discovered, against the life of prince Edward, fourth son of George III and colonel of the seventh regiment of foot now in that province—The cause is supposed to have originated in the severity of his discipline established by the prince, and his repeated whimsical alterations in the uniform and equipments of his regiment which occasioned many stoppages in their pay: A general meeting of the regiment it is said has been agreed on, and the assassination of the prince; which was to have been executed in the following manner. A small building near the prince's quarters was to be set on fire, and an alarm given: three of the conspirators were to lay wait and shoot the prince on his appearance, and in the midst of the confusion, 60 in number, provided with 60 rounds of cartridges each, and make the best of their way to New England, by the road generally called Arnold's road. The plot was revealed to the prince, by one of the band of musick, who joining in the mutiny relented. On receiving this information, the prince, it is said, prepared to go to the barracks perfectly undaunted, but was dissuaded by General Clark, the Governor, who went himself, ordered the regiment out, and desired that all who were dissatisfied with the prince would manifest it by a certain token, which it is asserted, was given instantly, by all except the musician before mentioned and two others. The general it is said then ordered three men of each company to be arrested for trial, but their fate was not decided when our accounts left Canada.
March 1.
A deserter from the British 26th, of Cameronian Regiment of foot, just arrived in this town from Canada; informs, that the soldiers of the 7th regiment, who were lately confined and tried for mutiny, and for threatening the life of their colonel, Prince Edward, 4th son of George the III, as lately mentioned in our paper were all acquitted by the court martial, and that the prince himself is now under an arrest, for imposing the hardship on his men of procuring superfluous and fantastical equipments, and stopping their pay. It is said he will have to reimburse the whole to his regiment, and bear the burthen personally, and further that were he not the king's son, he would in all probability be broken.
March 15.
By private letters from Canada, we are informed, that republican principles are prevalent in that province. That revolution societies are formed, and hold frequent meetings; and the decrease of monarchical folly and vassalage becomes
conspicuous in the complexion of their public papers. The affairs of France are eagerly sought after, and regularly published, and the Rights of Man investigated with avidity. On the whole, it appears highly probable, that the extensive province of Canada will, at an early period, add one to the number of independent, free republics, to grace the western hemisphere.
HARTFORD, Feb. 25.
At the late Superior Court in this town, a number of actions of trespass, assault and battery were tried, and the defendants found guilty. But the damages were such as to afford no encouragement for breaking heads and bruising noses. To those who wish to know the value of hard knocks, the following price current may be acceptable, viz.
For pushing, jostling, collaring and sprinkling with cold water, £. 1 17 6 For a good thump under the eye, 10 0 For a blow on the nose, 10 0 For a stroke on the head with a heavy five-stick with intent to kill, and followed by a delirium, 30 0 "Vivat Republica."
BOSTON, February 27.
War between France and Great-Britain is, in Europe deemed inevitable.—At the date of our last accounts, the utmost warlike preparations were making in England. Particularly a large fleet, which was getting in readiness to sail for the West Indies under the command of the Duke of Clarence. The general expectation of the English, is, that the French Islands will prove an easy conquest to the British arms, owing to the disaffection of the planters to the new order of things in France, and to the insurrections which have raged in many of them.
If our recollection serves, there is an article in the treaty of alliance between France and the United States, stipulating that, in case the French Islands should be attacked by a foreign enemy the United States should furnish a subsidy of five thousand men, to be paid, fed and clothed by France. Should the British therefore, attack those islands the United States cannot remain entirely neuter—altho policy dictates neutrality.
We learn from Europe that the house of Hope and another respectable Banking-House, in Amsterdam, have purchased the whole debt due to France by the United States: and that the funds of the United States were rising.
NEW-YORK, March 27.
By the ship Jay , arrived here yesterday, in 56 days from Cork, which place she left about the 24th of last January, we hear, that the disturbances in that kingdom were very great, occasioned principally by a scarcity of provisions which prevailed throughout all Ireland, especially in the northern parts, where, it is reported, many thousands of the inhabitants were embodied, and had committed great outrages, and so alarming were their excesses that the most part of the troops from other parts were drawn off, in order to quell the rioters. When the Jay left Cork, pressing men to go on board ships of war, had not taken place, but was hourly expected.
PHILADELPHIA, March 22.
Extract of a letter from Oporto, to a respectable house in this city, dated January 15.
We are hourly expecting to hear that England, Holland and Spain have declared War with France—these combined forces by sea, intend to prevent any provisions from entering the ports of France, without respect to the flag of any coun-

try. Prussia, Germany, &c. will harass them by land; in short, all Europe seem combined against that nation. Most people are of opinion, that Portugal will maintain a neutrality, which will be very happy for us.
BALTIMORE, March 12.
Extract of a letter from a French gentleman to a mercantile house in this town, dated Port-au-Prince, Feb. 13.
I am just arrived from the army, where I spent a most disagreeable fortnight. When I set out from Baltimore, very little did I expect, on my arrival here, to find this unfortunate island infected with new crimes.
About a month ago, the most infamous plot was discovered.
Nothing less was contemplated but a general assassination of the
people of colour, and afterwards that of the whites. The two
classes of citizens then united, & marched forward to meet the
enemy. Our army at first was
in appearance, well received by
the slaves, who presented themselves by gangs before the gates
of the habitation: where a continual clapping of hands by the
slaves, took place, as it were to congratulate their masters on
their happy return to their own plantations. Behold the designing wretches! this scheme was
the better to conceal their intended future crimes. The army continued its march as far
as the habitation of seven leagues distant from Port-au-
Prince, where it encamped to wait for a convoy of provisions.
The next day the convoy, indeed set off, escorted by fifty
men and one piece of cannon. When at two leagues from the
town, on their way to the army, they found themselves involved
or surrounded on all sides by above two thousand negroes,
who disarmed them and afterwards cut them to pieces. Out
of our dear brethren, but eight, who were on horseback, could
effect their escape, and in full speed returned here to-day to
bring our General the melancholy intelligence: who without
lots of time, seized the S r Jumeccour, and the S r Cou-
fers; and with his army, set out immediately, and by a counter-
march, expects to come up with the negroes, and avenge the
death of our brethren. After half an hour's march, several
plantations were set on fire, and our rear attacked by an im-
mense horde of blacks, who were repulsed with great slaughter.
At the break of day our army continued their march, and in
less than one hour, our van guard came up with the enemy,
and in sight of our unfortunate brethren who escorted the con-
voy of provisions.
At that awful fight our soldiers became furious, they precipi-
tated their march to reach the
enemy, who boldly presented themselves: it was just what we
wanted; and would you believe
† These two gentlemen are aristocrats of the first rate; and were both at the head of the insurgents ever since the beginning of the troubles.
that in a few minutes above six hundred of these wretches were left on the spot, without a single individual on our side receiving a scratch! our army came back to-day, having retaken the
convoy and piece of cannon.
Two days after, our army went out again, and having come up with them,
we killed about 70 of them, and on their retreat they set on fire an extent of ten leagues. What a dreadful spectacle, to see, in a few hours, millions of property reduced to ashes.
A third army went out yesterday, and if, in a fortnight, they do not cut or destroy the very last vestage of them,
S t . Domingo is lost, without any resource.
March 27.
Captain Joshua Barney of the ship Sampson, arrived here from the
Havannah, which place he left on the 10th inst. informs, that the day
before he sailed, the Spanish frigate Juno, arrived there from Ferrol, in
28 days, with dispatches for the different Spanish governments. The
advice by the Juno were, that the King of France had been decapitated—that hostilities had commenced
between England and France, and that there was an hourly expectation of a declaration of war between
France and Spain—that the Empress of Russia had acknowledged the republic of France, and declared herself her ally. The Juno stopped but four hours off the Havannah,
and then proceeded to la Vera-Cruz, to prevent the sailing of a seventy four gunship and a frigate, which
had gone down to take on board eight millions of dollars, till a further convoy should arrive.—Captain
Barney also informs, that an embargo was to take place at the Havannah
the day left it.
PETERSBURGH, March 6.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Norfolk, to the Editors of this paper, dated February 28.
Yesterday arrived here the brig Zephyr, from London; she left the
ill-of-Wight the thirteenth of January. The news
at that time was, that general Coffine had had an engagement
with the Prussians, in which he had been beat, and was obliged
to retreat with great precipitation. Frankfort has been re-
taken. The Salley, from Rotterdam, arrived here on Monday
last, by whom we learn, that the Scheldt was not forced open
as was reported: a small fleet of armed Dutch vessels had fol-
lowed the French frigates up the Scheldt, to watch them, but it
did not seem likely that the Dutch would engage them—
Several Dutch frigates were also arming, but no ships of the line.
By the Zephyr we also learn, that it was not imagined that
England would take a part in the war, but that the armament
seemed more fore for diverting the minds of the people and to
prevent the internal commotions they were so apprehensive of.
KNOXVILLE, April 29.
Alexander McGillivray, of the
Creeks, is DEAD: So say the Cherokee accounts.—This idolized
Chief of the Creeks, styled himself King of Kings. But alas he could
neither restrain the meanest fellow of his nation from the commission
of a crime, nor punish him after he had committed it!—He might per-
suade or advise—all the good an Indian King or Chief can do.
LEXINGTON, May 18.
By a gentleman who arrived in town the day before yesterday from
Baltimore, we are informed, that the Governor of Canada is at Phi-
ladelphia, in treaty for delivery of the important post of Detroit into
the possession of the United States. About the middle of last week,
the Indians killed a man and his wife on Ruisel's creek.
We are informed, that the members returned to serve in the ensuing

LEXINGTON, May 18.
[From the National Gazette.] Debate on the Official Conduct of the Secretary of the Treasury.
[Continued from our last.]
Before I proceed, Mr. Chairman, I would with to remark that whilst I confide to principles in legislation more correct, than that no money shall be drawn from the Treasury but under appropriations by law; yet I consider, both as impracticable and mischievous, the doctrine, that the money arising from a special tax shall in no instance be used for any other than that special purpose for which the tax was imposed; but am of opinion that the sums raised ought rather to be considered as an aggregate found applicable to aggregate purposes, and indeed if a rigid adherence to the precise letter is necessary there has been no occasion to go abroad to search for violations: for our government at home has been able to act only by this violation. It is well known that the duties of import and tonage are appropriated first to produce the sum of 600,000 dollars for the civil list, then to pay the interest of the foreign debt and so on; so that by a rigid observance of this law the secretary must have first collected the 600,000 dollars into the public coffers and then a sum sufficient to pay the interest of the foreign debt, a process which only requires stating to show its absurdity and which must nevertheless have been connected with a minute construction of the law. Indeed Mr. Chairman if the acts of common life bear any analogy with public management, which I believe, what could be considered as being more extraordinary than that an individual should appropriate the proceeds of one farm to purchase bread, of another drink and to declare in the case of contingencies, that happen what may, he would starve should the bread crop fail rather than use the surplus of that appropriated to purchase drink, for its purchase. But to return; what was this charge, a sum of money was due abroad for the interest of 1791 and 1792 to be paid out of the domestic revenues of 1791 and 1792; the United States had an offer to make a payment in part of what was due France, for which money had been borrowed and was already in hand abroad, in a supply of provisions from here to the island of St. Domingo, the Secretary, therefore, and doubtless with the consent of the President, instead of transmitting either bills or money from this country to France in order to pay the interest due there, and bringing the money borrowed to pay the French debt in to this country, in order to furnish supplies for St. Domingo, has committed the great crime of directing the money borrowed and already upon the spot to be applied to the payment of the interest due, and has taken the sums applicable to the payments of that interest, which was already here, and made use of it to pay the debt due to France in the produce of the United States. So that altho' apparently a portion of the principal borrowed has been applied to pay an interest due, yet in reality its capacity to be thus used arose from its constituting in this country an equivalent sum applicable and which has been applied to pay off the principle of the French debt, the object for which
the money was borrowed. Let candor investigate this transaction and sure I am its deductions will be directly the contrary of a charge of crimination. I shall conclude with observing, that I should have proceeded to examine the other resolutions which I consider as weak as those I have made these short comments upon, were I not restrained by the rules of the house. But this I will venture to say, that they will be proved unfounded in their investigation, and will merit the witty observation of a celebrated writer, that tho' they rose like a rocket, they will fall like the stick."
Mr. Findley next rose and expressed himself nearly as follows:
Mr. Chairman, Being strongly impressed with the importance of our time which is now so near at an end, tho' I had the honor of seconding the resolutions, I took no part in the debates of yesterday; nor will I now detain you with replies to many of the arguments which have been offered against the resolutions now under discussion.
Upon one argument, frequently introduced by the gentleman last up, viz. the greatness of the Secretary's character, &c. I will only make a single remark; there is no character officially known in the executive departments of this government who merits pre-eminence or to whom a degree of greatness can be ascribed, but in proportion to his prompt execution of the laws and the attention with which he discharges the duties of his office. From this rule the President himself is not exempted, much less a subordinate Secretary whose appointment is only during pleasure, and the duties assigned him of a changeable and temporary nature.
But to come to the resolution before us; the first enquires that offer themselves are, whether the money in question was appropriated to special and distinct purposes? Did the Secretary of the Treasury apply the money to other uses than the law directed?
In answer to the first it is only necessary to advert to the law authorizing the loans. The law authorizing the twelve million loan, appropriates whatever amount may be borrowed solely to the payment of debts then due to France and Holland.
The law authorizing the two million loan directs the application thereof to the redemption of the domestic debt in aid of about ——— dollars, arising from the revenue previous to the first of January.
These appropriations were precise, distinct and unconditional; with respect to the uses no room was left for the exercise of discretion; the will of the legislature was express & clearly defined it left no room for evasion nor any excuse for mistake; nor did the President transfer to the Secretary any other authority or instruction than what the law expressed.
But the gentleman from South-Carolina says, that the presumption is, that the President did give other instructions than he has communicated; that in this case presumption should be admitted as conclusive testimony; and that the Secretary or the President are not obliged to communicate the instructions or authorities to us.
The gentleman is a lawyer; I will appeal to himself, I will appeal
to all the professional members on the floor, whether presumption can be admitted as proof where in the nature of the case positive testimony can be procured.
Surely in courts of justice positive testimony is always required, and presumptive is rarely admitted; but in this case the presumptive is by the gentleman set in opposition to the positive. However, this is not the case in fact. The President did give commission and instructions, & these are fully communicated to us. If he conceived we had no right to demand them, he would have told us so, if he had kept any part of them back he would have informed us, and assigned his reasons for doing so. I presume that the President has acted the part of a candid honest man, the gentleman presumes the reverse. The suggestion that this house, which has the exclusive right of originating the appropriation of money, has no right to be informed of the application of it, is so novel and extraordinary, so inconsistent with every idea of propriety and good government that it requires no reply.
Did the Secretary apply the money borrowed in Europe agreeably to the legal appropriations of the President? No he did not; though some of the gentlemen do not acknowledge this, yet the Secretary has clearly acknowledged it himself and has filled his reports with laboured and ingenious apologies for so doing; he has suggested a variety of motives, and taking infinite liberty to charm us with the mighty public advantages resulting from his doing so. He acknowledges having drawn to this country and applied in Europe to uses for which other monies were appropriated, 3 millions of dollars; out of this he has paid upwards of 400,000 dollars of the French debt to St. Domingo. I do not complain of paying the interest due in Europe out of the money obtained there. The gentlemen apply the force of their arguments with great attention to support or apologise for this part of the Secretary's conduct, as if against this only the charge in the resolution lay. But we do not object to applying that money in Holland, which ought to have been brought here, if the money which according to the appropriation should have gone to Holland had been put to the use here for which the other was intended, a simple exchange of money for the purpose of convenience and economy is properly one of those cases to which ministerial discretion may solely be extended: but the question is, whether the money has been replaced. The amount of money has not been applied to the uses intended, consequently the appropriation has been disregarded. It is acknowledged that tho' there were upwards of 1,300,000 dollars of the domestic sinking fund, and upwards of 2,300,000 dollars drawn from Europe, besides the monies applied to the relief of St. Domingo, yet when these enquires began, there was not 1,000,000 dollars applied to the redemption of the public debt, and even yet the whole of the domestic appropriations has not been applied to the sinking fund, notwithstanding that the public debt now is and has for some time been under par.
We have it on record, that the Secretary never informed the commissioners, of draughts he made on
Europe, altho' the fund was exclusively to be at their disposal.
However, I will not detain the committee with minute statements, they are not necessary; the Secretary has acknowledged that he drew more money from Europe than the law authorised him to do; that he was influenced to do so by motives not contemplated in the law, and had either applied it or drawn from Europe with the design of applying it to uses not authorised, and that he has broken in upon the fund appropriated to the discharge of the French debt. Indeed the delay of information, the receiving it piecemeal, the abundance of reasoning and apologies, when only simple and plain statements were required, renders a scrutiny of all his calculations a work of time and labour; therefore I have contented myself with the facts that the Secretary acknowledges and vindicates on the questionable ground of policy. It remains to be enquired, had the Secretary a right to depart from the directions of the law, in the execution of it? could he, without a violation of the law, divert the money from its appropriate use to purposes foreign to the attention of the legislature? He certainly could not. The application of appropriation is the most sacred and important trust the legislature can confer; if they may be made to bend to the will or projecting policy of a financier, there is an end to all security and confidence. When a legislature makes an appropriation of a general fund to a variety of uses, as has been done with respect to the import, tonage, excise, &c. there is necessarily a considerable degree of discretion left with the executive, as far as respects preferences to one or other of the appropriate uses; but where the money is appropriated solely to a special purpose, as in the case of the loans, he who executes the laws has no degree of power over the appropriation. There is a noble room indeed for discretion in many material circumstances respecting them: such as the terms of contract, the times of drawing, the agents employed, &c. But to assume or use a power of changing the appropriations, is assuming a power to repeal the law itself in its most essential authority; it is assuming that power of dispensing with the laws which produced the late revolution with Great-Britain.
If the will of the minister may control and give another direction to the will of the legislature the sovereign legislative authority is transferred from the representatives of the people to the temporary minister.
If we admit that the ministerial agent is not responsible for his conduct, nor subject to censure, because he is appointed, and in this instance authorised by the President, we will introduce the long exploded doctrine of Charles I. of Britain, which brought ruin on the king and government. However there is an essential difference, for in the case before us the authority and instructions given by the President were agreeable to the law; but the conduct of the minister was contrary to both.
If, as I have said, the application of money to its appropriated uses is the most sacred and important trust which the legislature can confer, if the person directed to apply the money applies it to what use he pleases, he may by that means command

all the force of the government. I conclude, that betraying that important trust, partakes of the nature of treason.
The question before us is not whether the Secretary has applied it to a good or bad use; whether he, by departing from the legal appropriation supported public credit better, or made a more convenient accommodation to what he or his friends suppose to be the national interest. The constitution or the laws have not constituted him the judge of the national interest; nor submitted it to his wisdom to prescribe the degree of public credit which the nation ought to possess. The public credit and other national interests ought to be no other than the legislature wills it to be, and ought only to be supported by the means and in the manner thereby prescribed; this is the voice of the constitution, the voice of the law, and the voice of reason. The president, and both branches of the legislature being the real as well as the legal representatives of the people, it is reasonable that they should be the sole judges of their interest. When this house repeatedly called for information from the Secretary, they did not call for political essays, nor for apologies, they did not constitute him the judge, or the instructor of the legislature; they cared nothing about his variety of motives nor extensive and self-important plans; these he might have reserved to embellish a system of finance, when he would again be called upon to report to the house; they only required an account of his stewardship. It was time enough to make apologies when he was blamed. Prefacing his statements with apologies and being irritated at enquiries, and artfully evading so many calls for information, discovered a consciousness of blame.
However, I will admit that an executive officer, pressed by some urgent and unexpected necessity, may be induced to depart from the authorised path of duty, and have great merit in so doing. This may be the case with a general of an army or an admiral of a fleet, and the more nearly, even with a financier. But in such emergency, the officer so acting will embrace earliest opportunity to explain the matter and obtain a justification whilst the recent feelings arising from the occasion advocates his cause in the public mind.
Has the Secretary done so in the present instance? No; his conduct has been the very reverse. Notwithstanding repeated and explicit calls both the last session and this present, the extent of these transactions was concealed; a bill passed this house authorising another loan of 800,000 dollars—a second bill was urged in an unprecedented manner for a loan of 2,000,000 dollars, and tho' this was a favorite bill with the minister, the very enquiry after this information induced his friends to shrink from the business and desert the object about which they had discovered so much solicitude.
But when the disclosure is made does there appear any urgent necessity to justify the measure? No—there was none except what existed in the unauthorised plans of the financier. He informs us that he thought it necessary to have always 5 or 6 hundred thousand dollars at his command. I ask what law authorised him to think so? Did the legislature judge this necessary? No, Did he ever state the necessity to the Legislature? No, he did not, and we know he has never been backward in recommending revenue systems or in contriving uses for revenue. Supposing a sudden necessity for money, arising from a disappoint-
ment of some remittance, where was the boasted aid of the bank which was to have administered aid in all sudden emergencies? Could not bills have been sold for cash when the necessity pressed, or could not a temporary loan have been procured from any of the banks? Certainly they could; loans were obtained at the bank when necessity required such aid, and when the public money to a much greater amount was deposited with the bank. In short no necessity of state purposes, authorised by the legislature, existed. If there was a necessity at all it must have arisen from another quarter; most probably from the bank itself and its branches.
A key to this suggestion may be discovered from a comparison of the times of drawing and situation of the bank at such times.
[Here Mr. Findley was called to order upon the ground of this argument not being confined to the resolution before the committee. He alleged his arguments applied strictly to the charges of violating the law contained in the resolution; but as a further opportunity of applying the arguments arising from necessity and discretion, would be given, when a subsequent resolution was brought before the committee, he would pass it now with a very few remarks.]
He said the exercise of the power assumed by the Secretary was inconsistent with that public confidence upon which alone the government was founded; that it was inconsistent with public safety and a government of laws. That the Secretary seemed to take the whole government upon his shoulders and to consider all the great interests thereof to be committed to his providence.
His reports spoke the language of a Frederick of Prussia or some other despotic tyrant, who had all the power vested in himself; not the language of a dependant Secretary, under a free and well ordered government!
