CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Wednesday March 2.
DEBATE.
Upon Mr. Griswold's resolution, to institute an investigation of the report of the commissioners of the Sinking Fund.
(Continued.)
Mr. S. Smith said there was nothing in which gentlemen would be more frequently or grossly mistaken, than in taking up accounts of the nature of those before the house, and attempting hastily to judge on them. It is to be regretted that this enquiry was not earlier brought forward, when it might have resulted in a fair decision, drawn from a full view of the subject. But when at so late an hour, the gentleman has seen fit to bring forward his motion, and when the documents on which we decide are packed up in our trunks, it will not be extraordinary that I am unable to follow. But for one or two remarks of the gentleman I should not have thought it necessary to make the least reply. My only astonishment is that the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Randolph) and my colleague (Mr. Nicholson) have been able off hand to answer so effectually the objections that have been raised.
The gentleman says, the commissioners ought not to have given in an estimate, when they could have stated the precise sums disbursed. So far as they could furnish a statement of precise sums they have done it. But in some cases they could not, as the thing was impossible. The commissioners say, "that besides the abovementioned reimbursements and payments, there remained at the close of the year 1802, exclusively of the amount of sundry protested bills still outstanding and of unexpended balances in the hands of agents, an unapplied balance, estimated at 5,914,600 guilders, applicable, &c. If they had said estimated at dollars, the objection might hold, but they say guilders. These are purchased in bills of exchange on Amsterdam, and so far they are explicit; or bills are bought on London in sterling money, and the proceeds of those bills are to be laid out in the purchase of bills on Amsterdam, which are in guilders, and which can only be stated by estimate. This part of the business then, can only be ascertained by calculation; and where is the injury? At the next session, what is now an estimate will be a precise statement. So much for this objection. The commissioners were not competent to furnish any other than estimate.
The gentleman further observes that the names of those to whom bills have been sold ought to have been brought forward, to enable gentlemen to determine whether in these transactions there has not been some favoritism. But at this time, this would be highly improper. The fit time will come at the next session of Congress.
The gentleman has taken a retrospective view of the payments made by the commissioners of the sinking fund respecting the foreign debt. To remit the instalments, as they became due, has always been attended with great difficulty. Mr. Wolcott, a former secretary of the treasury, found it, in his time, extremely difficult to remit money to Amsterdam. He did me the honor to converse with me on the subject. I pointed out a mode which he adopted. He was able to buy bills on London, but not on Amsterdam; but to have done this would have been a losing game. The merchants brought to him a cargo which, it was estimated would in Amsterdam produce a certain sum. He agreed to advance two thirds of this sum on the merchant's consigning the property to our agent at Amsterdam; and to pay the remaining third on receiving advice that the amount of debt, contracted to be paid, was discharged. Could the Secretary have spent the amount of this money in Amsterdam? Nobody ever doubted of the transaction being a proper one. There was then a confidence in the government; and there must still be a confidence in the government.
Subsequent to that period, the trade to Amsterdam has increased in consequence of the war, by which our merchants, who have debts there to pay, are enabled to
buy bills. But on the reflection of his facilities this facility in a great measure ceased. Another mode, therefore, was to be pursued, to make the necessary remittance for the payment of the public debt. In the year 1802 the Secretary found it difficult to remit; he was asked 42 cents per guilder, for the merchants and my house among the rest held out, they thought they had the Secretary in their power, knowing that he must at all events remit to a large amount, and that they would have got the better of him, but for his judicious sale of the bank shares. He thereby compelled us to sell out, and saved to the United States 58,000 dollars—and compelled the merchants to sell for 41 cents the guilder. If he had not done so, I should have got 42 cents a guilder for my bills—for that was the proportion that bills on Amsterdam then bore to bills on London. But by taking the demand from the market, he reduced their value.
Since the beginning of the year 1802, one million nine hundred thousand dollars have been required to be remitted to Holland. The secretary again found difficulty from the high exchange required. I understand that he has made a judicious contract, and with gentlemen too who are not favorites—a contract which I should not have been willing to make, by which means he has been enabled to obtain exchange at 41 cents the guilder. It is true, the merchants get the money now, and make the payment in September. He appears, at first view, to gain the interest for the intervening period, but this is not the fact, as he sells the bills proportionably lower; and government loses nothing as the money, if remitted would be useless in Holland. In all this there is no favoritism. For the secretary places his terms in the banks and every merchant of credit may buy; all, who have the means may participate; it is an affair of public notoriety.
Mr. Smith concluded by observing, that tho' this subject had never before come to his view, he thought it best to throw out these few remarks in answer to the gentleman from Connecticut.
Mr. Griswold said, that he should not have troubled the house with any further remarks on the resolution which he had offered, as there appeared to be a disposition in gentlemen to adopt it, had it not been for some allusions which had been made by the three gentlemen who had been up, to the time of bringing the resolution into the house. He had been accused by those gentlemen of introducing his motion at the heel of the session, when sufficient time did not remain for a full investigation. These remarks he tho' required an answer.
I did expect, said Mr. G. that the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Randolph) would, in justice to me, have stated the circumstances which preceded the bringing forward of the resolution, but since that gentleman has not thought proper to do it, I will state those circumstances myself and as the gentleman is present, he will correct me if I commit an error.
The journals of the house show, that the report of the commissioners of the sinking fund was transmitted to the legislature on the seventh of Feb. The report was not read in this house but ordered to be printed, and in two or three days appeared in a printed form on our tables—From a cursory view of the report he found (to say no more of it) that it contained many errors and required much explanation, and he then moved the reference to the committee of ways and means (of which committee the gentleman from Virginia [Mr. Randolph] is chairman) and he communicated verbally, on the same morning, the objections which he had discovered to the report. On the same or the following day he committed the objections which he then made, to writing, and delivered them to the gentleman from Virginia, with a request that he would confer with the secretary of the treasury, (who was the acting and responsible officer of the board of commissioners) and if possible, obtain from him a satisfactory explanation of the report. The gentleman from Virginia did accordingly, as he understood, confer with the secretary, and in a short time afterwards gave to him certain explanations which were not satisfactory. He therefore informed the gentleman from Virginia, at that time, that he should move a resolution in the house for instructions to the committee of ways and means on the subject. And having drawn up a resolution, which was substantially the same with that on the table, he presented it to the gentleman from
Virginia, for his information and appropriation; and that gentleman made no objection to any part of the resolution except to two words, which at his request he expunged.
[Mr. Randolph required what words had been expunged at his request.]
Mr. Griswold replied, that the resolution originally directed the committee to enquire whether the commissioners of the sinking fund, had in fact applied the fund of dols. 7,300,000 to the payment, &c. The gentleman from Virginia thought the words 'in fact,' sounded harsh, and implied more than was intended, and proposed that they should be expunged. And, said Mr. G. I accordingly expunged them from the resolution. The reason why the motion has not been brought into the house, before this day, must, said Mr. G. be well understood to have resulted from the press of other business. Many gentlemen who sit near me, can witness the frequent attempts which I have made, for more than one week to introduce it, and it is no longer ago than yesterday, that I proposed it to the house, but was voted down. With how much propriety then I have been charged with an improper delay of this resolution until the heel of the session, the house will decide. Mr. Griswold further said, that he presumed the gentleman from Virginia had several weeks ago communicated to his friends and the Secretary of the Treasury the objections to the report, and that those gentlemen were, or ought to be prepared to give every explanation, of which the report was susceptible.
But since I am up, said Mr. Griswold I will proceed to consider some of the observations, which have been made in answer to those which I had the honor of submitting, upon this subject. The gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Randolph) supposes, that the commissioners of the sinking fund have a right to claim, that the payment of dols. 1,287,300 made to the bank from the proceeds of the sale of the bank shares was a payment from the funds of 7,300,000 dols. and that the remittances made to Holland in 1802, to meet the instalment of the Dutch Debt falling due in 1803, may also be considered a payment of the debt from the same fund for the year 1802, and that if either of these be added to the other payments, which are confessed to have been applied to the debt in 1802, it will be found that the whole fund of 7,300,000 dollars was duly applied to the debt in that year. To these two claims said Mr. G. I shall endeavor to give concise but I trust satisfactory answers.
And in the first place, I admit that if the payment to the bank from the sales of the bank shares, is to be considered as a payment from the fund of dols. 7,300,000 or if the remittances to Holland to meet instalments of 1803, are to be considered as payment of the debt in 1802, then will it appear (supposing the estimate of remittances to be correct) that the commissioners have applied the whole fund of 7,300,000 dols. for 1802 to the debt in that year. But a slight attention to the documents and the law, will prove that the claims are unfounded. The fund of 7,300,000 dols. has been correctly stated by the commissioners to have been drawn from the following sources, that is to say:
   From interest arising on the domestic debt transferred to the commissioners, 326,449 92   From the payment of debts originating under the late government 888 79   From one dividend on the bank stock of December 31, 1801, 23,960   From the sales of public lands, 179,575 52   From impost and tonnage, 6,759,126 77   Dols. 7,300,000  
Making in the whole (to use the commissioners words) "the annual appropriation by law for the year 1802, under the act aforementioned." The act aforementioned in the report, was the act to provide for the redemption of the whole public debt. By this statement it will appear that the commissioners received the whole fund of seven millions three hundred thousand dollars, for the year eight hundred and two, exclusive of the bank shares, and of course, were bound by law to apply, in that year, this fund to the payment of the principal and interest of the debt. The fund arising from the sale
of the bank shares is not only altogether disjoined from the fund in question, but is so considered by the commissioners in their report. It will likewise be seen on page 6 of the same page, and on pages 14 and 15 of the report of the secretary of the treasury of December last, that the bank shares were sold under pretence of a law of May 31st, agreeably to the provisions of that law, were applied to pay a debt due to the bank in the same year. So that the sale of the bank shares, and the application of the money has nothing to do, either with the law of the last session for the redemption of the debt, or the fund of dols. seven millions three hundred thousand, which was received by the commissioners under that law, as already observed. Indeed the commissioners have not pretended that any such connection exists; they have acknowledged that they received the dols. 7,300,000 as a distinct fund; and I ask why they have not applied it within the year, as the law requires, to the payment of the public debt?
The claim that the remittances to Holland, to meet the instalments of the foreign debt, falling due in 1803, are to be considered as payments of debt in 1802, is equally extraordinary. The law of the last session declares, that "it shall be the duty of the commissioners, to cause to be applied and paid yearly and every year, this fund of dols. 7,300,000 of the debt. The commissioners in their report declare, that they have received the fund for the year 1802, and their advocates on this floor say, that they have applied the fund to the payment of the debt, yearly and in the year 1802, because they have made provision for paying a debt which falls due in 1803. Or in other words, the commissioners have drawn the money from the treasury, and now keep it in the hands of their agents, or in their own pockets, and honestly intend to apply it to the payment of the public debt at some future period, and this has been a payment and application of the money to the debt in the year 1802.
This said Mr. Griswold is a mere evasion of the law, and it is absurd to expect that such expotions, will go down either in this house or in the country.—The law said Mr. Griswold, cannot be mistaken, and I did not believe that it would be misrepresented. The object of the law was, to secure with certainty the application of this fund of dollars seven million three hundred thousand in each year to the debt and the law is so expressed as to define with perfect certainty the duty of the Commissioners. Now if it is a good execution of this law, to provide only for the payment of debts in future years, your law is only made for the benefit of the acting officer of the board of commissioners; for if a provision to meet payment in the next year is to be considered as a payment in the present year, a provision to meet a payment falling due ten years hence, on the same principle, is a good payment, within the year, and the only effect of the law is, to place millions of the public money under the controul of the commissioners of the sinking fund without interest, who when called upon to know whether they have applied it to the debt within the year have only to answer, that the money has been well applied, for that it remains in their hands or in the hands of their friends to be delivered ten years hence, to the public creditors, whose demands will then become due.
But gentlemen have said that the application of the dollars 7,300,000 within the year was impossible, because the remittances to Holland must be made in advance, and the commissioners were authorized to draw annually from the treasury the sum of 7,300,000 dollars only, and out of this sum they were bound to make reasonable provision for discharging the foreign debt of next year.
[Mr. Nicholson said, if the gentleman alluded to him, he was incorrect. He had not said that the commissioners could draw no more than dols. 7,300,000; he said it was discretionary with the Secretary to permit a greater sum to be drawn or not. He was to judge whether the state of the treasury would justify a larger draught.]
Mr. Griswold said he was willing to consider the case under the gentleman's explanation, as the result would be precisely the same. By the law so often referred to, respecting the public debt, in the second section of the law, it was made the duty of the secretary of the treasury to ad-

vance to the commissioners of the sinking fund, all such payments, as might be necessary to discharge any demands, against the United States as should become due at such time and times as would enable the commissioners punctually to comply with the public engagements. Admitting then that a discretion is given to the secretary, as extensive as contended by the gentleman from Maryland [but which by the bye is not the case, in the point under consideration] yet as it is admitted that there remained more than four millions of dollars, in the treasury, on the first of October 1802, I ask why was not the sum which was wanted for the payments in Holland in 1803, advanced by the secretary under authority of that section of the law, to which I have referred? If the commissioners had demanded this advantage would the secretary in his discretion, with four millions lying dead, have dared to refuse it? The plea therefore of imperious necessity cannot prevail. The law, in commanding terms required the whole fund should be applied within the year to the debt, and there was no necessity for breaking in upon it.

Torgreen, was in 1802, wittingly sunk in the Baltic, for the purpose of defrauding the underwriters, and a young man, who was concerned in the conspiracy, but who had quarreled with and been beaten by the captain, was left in his birth and perished. The following is the sentence pronounced by the Swedish Tribunal on the persons concerned in this most atrocious transaction.
“Captain Tongreen to be beheaded, and his body exposed on a wheel; his property to defray the expenses of the prosecution; Lustig, the mate, and another sailor, most active in the crime, to be beheaded, the merchant to pay a fine of four times the value of the landing fraudulently taken off, or to receive forty pair of stripes, three to the pair, and to do penance on a Sunday at the church door, after which he is to work three years at the hulks in Carlscrona, and his property to answer all judicial expenses. The Broker, J. Lovell, with his brother T. Lovell, the district Crown Executor, for complicity, to be deprived of their offices to be confined for one month on bread and water, and to do three years hard labor at the hulks; the Postschiffer, and two lightermen, who conveyed the goods off in the night, to be imprisoned twenty eight days on bread and water; the Strand Surveyor, for neglect of duty sixteen days of the same penance; and the pilot twelve days, besides a number of pecuniary fines on all such as were proved to have bought any of the goods composing the cargo.

Extract of a Letter from a Merchant in Aux-Cayes to his correspondent in New-York, dated March 14 th , received via Philadelphia.
“On the 7 th instant we were attacked by the negroes, who, after a close engagement of three quarters of an hour, were repulsed, with the loss of 500 men killed. On their retreat they left 300 muskets on the field. Our loss was only one Polish captain killed and 3 men wounded. Nearly all the mulattoes in Aux Cayes had revolted, and joined the negroes. The latter had burnt the greater part of La Plaine, and assassinated several white inhabitants.
Our troops made a sortie on the 9 th , and found many black women amongst the killed; a great number of the men wounded in the engagement of the 7 th had since died. Upon one plantation five black women were found dead, with 18 demi-johns of rum in their possession. Orders from the Cape were received on the 13 th , to prepare 900 additional rations for troops which might be hourly expected.
A frigate, it is said, has landed between 3 and 400 at Aquin. The inhabitants are much alarmed, and constantly on duty; and the Commander in Chief, fearful that he should be surprised in the night, has ordered alarm guns to be frequently fired, that the inhabitants and the troops may be vigilant at their posts.”

Let the democrats, who have been wickedly industrious in charging Mr. Rutledge with forgery, now show their skill on the defensive. A late Recorder alleges that Mr. Jefferson's favorite nephew Peter Carr, educated in infidelity by his Uncle, in the year 1797, according to his own confession, forged a letter to President Washington in the name of John Langhorne, with the infamous design of drawing something from a correspondence “to injure Gen. Washington's character,” and “to betray his confidence.” The General's answer, “the sentiments of which do him the highest honor,” is in the possession of a Col. John Nicholas and will be published; and it is further stated as on the authority of Col. Nicholas, that, when all the circumstances shall be known and taken together, no doubt will or can remain, that a greater personage was privy to the scheme, if he was not the prime mover of it.”
(Fred. Her.)
The policy of Bonaparte and his secret views, seem to be much better known in Great Britain, than in this country.—Those who confide in the justice of the First Consul, are there regarded as simpletons or fools. His acquisition of Louisiana is looked upon as the prelude to the conquest of the United States, and indeed if we survey attentively all the late actions, schemes and contrivances of Bonaparte, it is not easy to resist the idea, that this is his intention. If the following account had been published originally in the American papers, Duane, no doubt, would call it a federal forgery, but as it is extracted from the London papers of January 28 th , we presume, the existence of such a publication in Paris, will not be disputed even by the Organ.
“A voyage to Louisiana has just been published at Paris, where, as our readers know, the wisdom of government does not permit private individuals to hazard their unauthorised speculations; and where, consequently, whatever issues from the press, is of far more importance than in those countries of anarchy, where every man may write and publish his opinions. The author of the voyage tells us, that the natural limits of Louisiana extend to the sources of the Mississippi and Missouri, “known and unknown,” i. e. a space of two thousand miles! Not content with this specimen of modest geography, he distinctly tells us, that within these natural limits is “all the country between the Mississippi and the Apalachian Mountains, or, in other words, the states of Kentucky and Tennessee (not to mention the Western Territory,) two of the most prosperous and rapidly progressive members of the American confederacy, and which may, indeed, be considered as the region of the earth which is making the greatest strides in improvement.
The post of the Natchez has it seems, been ceded to the United States by Spain. But, this post, says our traveller, must now be ceded by America to France, for three reasons which, in the stile of French diplomacy, are perfectly conclusive.—First, Because it is very convenient to France. Secondly, Because it is within the NATURAL LIMITS of Louisiana: and thirdly, Because France has only to demand it, and America will not chuse to risk a quarrel! But this is not all.—The author is pleased to allow that the United States ought to have a fair price for this settlement. But France is not to pay that price. She is to compel Spain to pay it on the principle that she ought to cede Louisiana, whole and entire, i. e. to the utmost extent of her natural limits, comprehending more than one half of the territory of the United States of America.
The Louisiana of this writer is a country four times the size even of Modern France. He complains of a projected line of demarcation, which is to exclude Lake Erie, and Lake Superior from the French province! Our friends at Philadelphia may smile at the visions. But we must tell them, that we have fair dreams of ambition apparently almost as extravagant realised in Europe.”
