Extract from the Journal of Congress.
TUESDAY, September 30, 1788.
THE committee, consisting of Mr. Clark, Mr. Dane, Mr. Carrington, Mr. Bingham, and Mr. Williamson, appointed to enquire fully into the department of finance, beg leave to observe, that the objects of that department are to various and extensive in their nature, that the time allowed to your committee from their necessary business in Congress, would not permit them to prosecute their enquiries in such a manner as to give a minute detail of all the transactions of the treasury board, and those acting under their direction: They have however proceeded as far as their time and other circumstances would admit, and thereupon report,
That they have particularly examined the receipts and expenditures of the federal treasury from November 1, 1784, the day on which the late superintendant of finance closed his accounts, to the 21st of April, 1785, the day on which the board of treasury commenced their administration, and from that day to 1st April, 1788, comprehending in the whole three years and five months.—In making a statement, the committee have arranged under different heads the foreign and domestic receipts and expenditures—indents and specie payments—the first and second period of time abovementioned.
The first period—Domestic receipts and expenditures in specie.
   DOLLARS.     Nov. 1, 1784, there was in the treasury 21,986. 72   From Nov. 1, 1784, to April 21, 1785, there was paid into the treasury by the receivers of taxes 143,648. 34   By the post master general 2,000.   On account of the sale of public stores 4,077. 87   Total dollars, 171,713. 13   Expenditures during the same period.   Paid on account of the anticipations of 153,896. 11-90ths dollars made by the late superintendant of finance 58,065. 38   In the civil, military, contingent, and Indian departments 68,357. 80   April 21, 1785, balance in the treasury as then stated by the board 45,289. 75  
The register of the treasury stated that April 21, 1785, there was in the treasury.    On examining the registry, it appears there was only  43,605. 20    Error or difference  1,684. 55  
This difference arose from the circumstance that payments were made from the treasury before, but not entered in the registry till after the 21st April, 1785.
Foreign Receipts and Expenditures.
Nov. 1, 1784, the late superintendant of finance stated that the anticipations on the funds in Europe were 88,306. 89-90 dollars; that there was a balance due to messieurs Willink, Staphorst and Co. of 7,665. 74-90 dollars; but by a stated account received from Holland since that period, it appears there was a balance due from the said Messrs Willink, Staphorst and Co. on the 1st of November, 1784, of 403,894. 40 dollars, received by them in the months of August, September and October preceding; this sum, as well as some expenditures in Europe, prior to Nov. 1, 1784, not being included in the accounts of the superintendant, are placed among the receipts and expenditures from Nov. 1, 1784, to April 21, 1785, which stand as follows:

   DOLLARS.     April 21, 1785, Balance in the hands of Mr. Grand 17,193. 64   Balance in the hands of the commissioners of loans in Holland 396,728. 74   Received on loans from April 21, 1785, to April 1, 1788, 249,427. 76   Cargoes remitted from America by the late superintendant 26,680. 42   Remittances made from America by the board of treasury 258,971. 46   Monies received in Europe on account of Capt.

   989,888. 36  
   On a statement of the public Receipts and Expenditures the committee find that on the 1st April, 1788, the anticipations upon the public credit made by the board of treasury, were 20,128. 86   Ditto, made by the late superintendant of finance 93,463. 22  
   Total 113,592. 18  
That on the same day there were the following sums subject to the order of the commissioners of the treasury    In the hands of the loan-officers and late receivers  22,307. 80     42,536. 85  
So that the anticipations on that day, did not much exceed the monies subject to the orders of the board.
The committee find that specie demands arising against the treasury are, in general, satisfied with considerable punctuality, except those arising on account of interest, which has become due on the French and Spanish loans—Interest on these loans is much in arrears.
The committee have herewith submitted to Congress, general accounts of monies that have been advanced in the department of the commissary, quarter-master, clothing, marine and hospital, marked from No. 1 to 6, inclusive—many of which accounts are settled, and others of them are in a fair way to be settled, by the officers of the treasury, and the commissioners of the five departments.
Your committee turning their attention to an act of Congress of the 22d May last, directing the board of treasury to call upon all such persons as had been entrusted with public money, and had neglected to account for the same, and such other persons as may have made partial or vague settlements, without producing proper vouchers, were desirous to obtain a particular statement of the accounts which are in the above predicament; but they are sorry to find that such a detail is too lengthy to be here inserted. Some of those accounts are stated in the file of papers marked papers respecting unsettled accounts , which is herewith submitted. From the general aspect of those accounts, your committee are constrained to observe, that there are many strong marks of the want of responsibility or attention in the former transactions respecting the public treasures. No less a sum than 2,102,600 dollars has been advanced to the secret committee of Congress, before 2d August, 1777, and a considerable part of this money remains to be accounted for otherwise than by contracts made with individuals of their own body, while those individuals neglect to account.
Your committee find that other considerable sums have been paid out of the treasury, of which no appropriation is to be found on the public journal of Congress. Several of them remain to be accounted for.
Of the accounts which have been partially settled, or settled without authority, or without proper vouchers, two or three, by reason of their magnitude, have claimed the particular attention of your committee. Their amount is little short of half a million of dollars specie. And tho' by acts of June 14 and 20, 1781, and April 10, 1783, those accounts appear to have claimed the attention of Congress, your committee find that it remains very doubtful to this day whether many of the charges against the United States, which are stated in those accounts, have any solid foundation.
Your committee were desirous to discover in what manner the large sums of money received in France, have been accounted for,—but the subject of this enquiry seems to be involved in darkness.
   LIVRES. f. d.     The amount of the several receipts—is 47,111,859. 12 8   Of this sum there has been sent over or drawn for and expended in America 26,246,727. 5 5   Salaries of foreign ministers 1,160. 183.  
   There remains 27,466,910. 5 5   19,704,949. 7 3  
The documents for the expenditure of this balance have never been produced at the treasury—They must be in France if there are any such papers. A full enquiry into the premises now claims the attention of the board of treasury,—Some time must be expended in making the necessary investigation, but the result may be of important service to the United States.
Your committee further report, that the board of treasury, pursuant to an act of Congress, have sold at public vendue, of the first four ranges of townships, the quantity of 150,896 acres, in sections and fractional parts of sections, upon condition that one third of the purchase should be paid down, and the remaining two thirds in three months after the sale, and in case of failure in the last payment,
for the exercise of surveying at the rate of one dollar for every 640 acres—the whole of those sales amounted to 176,000. 6 dollars; of which there has been paid into the treasury the whole amount of the purchase, with the exception for surveying, except one large purchase amounting to 88,764. 30 dollars, on which only the first payment being one third was paid; by which the whole receipts in the treasury on those sales (including in some instances a small overplus where certificates would not produce the exact sum) amounts as per account marked No. 7, to 117,104. 45 dollars.
The said board have also by order of Congress made a contract with Sargent and Cutler for a tract of land supposed to contain between four and five millions of acres, exclusive of donations for public uses, and lands reserved for the United States, in which contract army rights for bounties in lands, to the amount of one seventh part of the purchase are to be admitted in part of payment; the other part thereof were stipulated to be paid as follows:
   On executing the contract 500,000 dollars.   Within one month after the executing the survey 500,000   At six other payments of 332,192. 30 dollars, each half yearly 1,993,1

Delaware, { Examined, but not complete for entry. { Settled by the commissioner of the state, but not yet inspected so as to be ready for entry. The papers of the first loan-officer in this state are alleged to have been lost; the documents respecting his receipts and expenditures, which had been forwarded to the treasury, have been collected, and copies thereof transmitted to the late commissioner of the state; but no settlement appears to have been made. His successor has settled all his transactions with the state commissioner, which settlement is now in the loan-office of that state.  Virginia, { Not settled. In the two last states, the principal sums loaned is said to have been appropriated by the respective states in which the same were loaned.
N. Carolina,  S. Carolina & Georgia, { With respect to the commissioners appointed for settling accounts in the several states, no return of books and papers have been made by them, except from the states of New-York, New-Jersey, Maryland, Georgia and Pennsylvania. The certificates liquidated and taken up, included in those returns, were lodged in the comptroller's office; but they were not cancelled or otherwise defaced; in this situation they lay neglected, until a number of those taken up in the state of New-York, which were negotiable, were feloniously taken away by one of the clerks in the register's office, to which office those papers had been removed upon the dissolution of the comptroller's office; of those certificates, thus stolen, the greater part have since been recovered, but a deficiency of 2,087 dollars and 47 ninetieths of a dollar yet remains. What, or whether any other certificates have been taken away in like manner, is not yet discovered. The above robbery, however, in the opinion of your committee, clearly evinces the impropriety of suffering public securities taken up by the commissioners, or paid into the treasury, to remain as they now are, uncanceled.

COAL TAR. A Quantity of this Tar, of black and clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by  Charles Wilkes, No. 12, H. over-square. The sole Agent in America for the British Tar Company. THE superior excellence of this Tar in preserving the bottoms of vessels from the worms, and in keeping them clean, has been proved by repeated experiments. It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the British Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1788.
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York, is added for the information of the Public.  New-York, April 26, 1788. We the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 13th June last, we attended at Van Tuyl's wharf , on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimension, one payed over with Jowd Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other, two pieces with a stout thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we afterwards saw them all chained to and sunk along side said wharf. That nearly six months after, to wit, on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf, when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grass and barnacles; the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as sound and fresh as when put down. From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bottom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. Signed, John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Grosfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.
