DEBATE on Mr. Griswold's motion to appoint a Committee to investigate the Report of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund.
[CONTINUED.]
Mr. Nicholson said he would beg the indulgence of the House while he offered a few remarks. These he should have thought totally unnecessary, if the observations of the gentleman from Connecticut (Griswold) had not been of a nature calculated to make an improper impression abroad. Whether it was the object of the gentleman, by postponing his motion to so late a period of the session, to preclude enquiry altogether, and thereby to induce a belief that he had given a fair statement of the report of the commissioners of the Sinking Fund, he should not now undertake to determine; but he would say that there was strong ground to believe that this was his object. If enquiry, and enquiry alone, was his object, why not lay the resolution on the table and suffer it immediately to be referred to the committee of Ways and Means in order that enquiry might be made? Why accompany it with observations calculated only to excite a belief that the commissioners of the Sinking Fund had been guilty of the grossest misconduct?
Through the various calculations which the gentleman had gone, in order to shew an erroneous statement of the interest on the debt, it was impossible to follow him; nor was there time to make statements in the House, to meet those which the gentleman had prepared at his leisure in his closet. He should leave this therefore for the committee of Ways and Means when the resolution came before them, and he ventured without hesitation to predict, that the error would be found on the side of the member from Connecticut. This part of the subject therefore he would leave to future investigation, and proceed directly to the two great points which seemed to be the gentleman's favorites, and upon which he appeared to expect to make the strongest impression.
These were first that the commissioners of the Sinking Fund had not applied the whole sum of seven millions three hundred thousand dollars, agreeably to the law of the last session, and secondly that there was a deficiency of one hundred and fourteen thousand dollars against the commissioners, which they had not accounted for.
On the first point he would endeavour to shew that much more than the sum of 7,300,000 dollars had been applied agreeably to law.
In the 6th page of the report of the commissioners they state the disbursements to have been applied.
1st To the payment of the interest which during 1802 accrued on the whole of the public debt, amounting to 4,065,738 47
2d To the payment of the principal of the Dutch debt 1,344,000
3d. Advanced to commissioners of loans for the re-imbursment of the eighth instalment of the 6 per cent stock, the second instalment of the deferred stock due January 1st, 1803, 1,117,869 37
4th. To pay temporary loans from the bank (exclusive of the proceeds of the bank shares,) 2,400
5th. Debts due to foreign officers, 7,994 92
6th. On account of certain parts of the domestic debt, 14,966 84
7th. Advanced to purchase bills in Holland, to meet that part of the Dutch debt which falls due in the first of the year 1803 to the amount of 3,600,760 guilders at 41 cents the guilder 1,476,311 60
making in the whole paid on account of the debt 8,029,282 20 or 729,000 dols. more than was actually required.
The four first items in this statement the gentleman from Connecticut admits as having been applied agreeably to law, and they amount to dols. 6,530,007 84, the fifth and sixth he took no notice of; but the seventh he combated with all his energy, in order to shew that it was not a proper charge upon the fund of dollars 7,300,000. Let us then examine this question, and see whether the gentleman's position is correct, that the whole sum of dollars 7,300,000 is to be applied to the discharge of debt due in any one year. The first section of the act of the last session provides that the sum of 7,300,000 dollars shall be appropriated to the Sinking Fund yearly, "to be applied to the payment of interest and charges, and to the re-imbursment and redemption of the principal of the public debt," and in the same section there is a proviso, "that after the whole of the said debt (except the 6 per cent stock,
the deferred stock, the 96 six per cent stock, and the three per cent stock) shall have been re-imbursed or redeemed, any balance of the sums annually appropriated by this act, remaining unexpended at the expiration of six months next succeeding the end of the Calendar year to which such annual appropriation refers, shall be carried to the surplus fund." Now Sir, said Mr. N. I beg leave to ask if this proviso contemplates that the whole sum of dols. 7,300,000 shall be applied to the discharge of debts actually due (though not payable) in any one Calendar year; or in other words between the first day of January and the 31st of December? Does it not suppose that a balance of the dollars 7,300,000 may remain in the hands of the commissioners of the Sinking Fund at the expiration of the year, and does it not provide that after certain species of debts are extinguished, that such balance shall go to the surplus fund at the expiration of six months after the end of the year? If the construction of the gentleman is correct, this proviso is absurd; it is a perfect nullity in itself. The proviso in fact does suppose that a balance of the 7,300,000 dollars may remain after discharging all the demands which can be made against the United States in any one year, and does leave that balance in the hands of the Commissioners to be applied in such manner as they may think proper, until the whole debt is extinguished, except those kinds which have just been mentioned. What then, Sir, has been the conduct of the commissioners of the Sinking Fund? They have reimbursed all the principal both of the foreign and domestic debt, which was payable in the year 1802, they have paid all the interest which was due in that year, the two amounts to dollars 6,552,970 60-100, and finding a balance in their hands after discharging all the demands against the government, which could be made for that year, they have applied that balance amounting to dollars 747,019 40-100, together with the farther sum of dollars 729,282 20-100 to the purchase of bills of exchange on Holland in order to meet the debt of next year. In order farther to shew that this was the intention of the law it may be well to refer to the documents of the last year upon which the law was passed. It has been already seen that the legal demands against the government for the year 1802 could not exceed the sum of dollars 6,552,970 60-100, yet it was deemed expedient to appropriate the sum of dollars 7,300,000, or dollars 747,019 40-100 more than the amount of the demand. Will any gentleman now be so obliging as to inform me why this excess of appropriation was made, Sir, the reason is plain and obvious. It was that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund might in each year have in their hands, such a sum, after discharging all legal demands against the government for that year, as would enable them to make the necessary advances to meet the Dutch debt in the next year, in case the state of the Treasury should not authorize the disbursement of more money under the 2d section of the act; to prove that this was the idea at the time, I beg gentlemen to refer to the statement [R] accompanying the report of the Secretary of the Treasury last year; upon which it will be acknowledged that this law was passed.
This statement (R) shews in the sixth column "the total amounts in dollars to be provided each year in America, in order to meet the payments in Holland." It states that in 1801 the sum of 950,965 dollars 50 cents had been remitted to Holland to meet the debt due there in 1802, and it likewise states that the sum of 2,271,692 dollars would be required for the year 1802. These two sums added together make an aggregate of 3,222,387 dollars 50 cents, or about 1,300,000 more than the United States were bound to pay in Holland in the year 1802. This sixth column of the statement (R) is transferred to the statement (S) where it forms the second column, and clearly proves that the excess of appropriation was intended to enable the commissioners of the Sinking Fund to apply the balance of the 7,300,000 dollars to the purchase of bills of exchange in the antecedent year to meet the demands for the subsequent year. Further to prove that this was the intention of the law, it may not be amiss to state that the report of the Secretary of the Treasury of the last year before alluded to, calculates upon an amount of revenue equal to about dollars. 10,000,000
Deduct from that the expenses of government equal to, 2,660,000
And the annual appropriation of 7,300,000
9,960,000
Which sum of 9,960,000 deducted from the 10,000,000 dols. the annual revenue would leave only to be laid out in bills to meet the debt in Holland in each succeeding year 40,000
10,000,000
How far it would have been prudent to have placed the affairs of government
in this situation, I leave it for gentlemen to determine. This last calculation is not made to prove the necessity of the commissioners of the Sinking Fund, having applied this balance in this way at this particular period, but to show the real intention in passing the law. It is possible that this balance might have been expended in purchasing the stock of the United States, and a sufficient sum might have been drawn out of the treasury to meet the debt in Holland for 1803; but this was a matter of discretion with the commissioners, and they have thought it more advantageous to employ the money in purchasing bills, than in purchasing stock. The whole sum of 7,300,000 dollars, and considerably more has been applied to the payment of the debt, and after paying all that we were obliged to pay, the commissioners used their discretion in applying the balance to such particular kinds of debt, as they thought it would be best to provide for at that time.
I come now, Mr. Speaker, to the second point of the gentleman from Connecticut, and on which he has dwelt with great force; viz. that there is in the hands of the commissioners of the Sinking Fund an unaccounted balance of more than one hundred and fourteen thousand dollars.
The gentleman has taken up this idea from the circumstance of his not being able to make the first and second statement on the 6th page of the report of the Commissioners quadrat with each other. I must beg leave to premise that it appears from the face of the report, that the commissioners themselves did not intend that these two statements should quadrat; for it will be found by recurring to them that the second statement is not added up, that nearly six millions of guilders, mentioned in the last paragraph of the report are not carried to the statement, and that they refer to sundry protested bills of exchange, and unexpended balances in the hands of agents which are all to be carried to their credit against the first statement. I will shew that the gentleman from Connecticut in his calculations, has not given the commissioners the credit that they are entitled to; that he has given them no credit for sums appearing from the face of the report itself to have been paid; that he has given them no credit for the advanced prices of bills of exchange, he calculating at 40 cents the guilder instead of 41, which is the average price at which purchases have been made, as appears from the report: that he has given them no credit for protested bills of exchange, which indeed he supposes can amount to little or nothing; and that he has given them no credit for unexpended balances in the hands of agents, although they expressly state that such balances do exist. They exist, Sir, from this cause. In order to purchase such bills of exchange as are required for the use of the government, the commissioners of the Sinking Fund find it necessary to authorise the cashiers of the several banks to make the purchase for them. Some of these contract for the bills and wait until they get a check for the amount upon their respective banks, where the money of the United States is lodged; but this is not the case with all; for there are some who will not make the purchases unless the money is previously deposited to their credit in the bank. Of course it is necessary to make advances at different periods, which are usually made to the amount of 50,000 dollars at a time. It follows that there is an account current between the commissioners and the cashiers which perhaps is settled once or twice a year. When the report was made on the 5th of February, these accounts were not settled, nor is it to be expected that they can always be in such a state as to enable the treasury officers to say at any one moment how much there is in the hands of a particular agent unexpended.
Mr. N. said he would now offer a statement to meet that of the gentleman from Connecticut, from which he flattered himself he should be enabled to shew, that the commissioners of the Sinking Fund were entitled not only to a credit equal to the 114,000 mentioned by the gentleman, but to a credit which would considerably exceed it in amount.
The commissioners of the Sinking Fund in their report state the disbursements from the treasury in the year 1802 to have amounted to the sum of dollars, 9,372,752 28
To which is to be added a balance of 2,313,846 guilders remaining unexpended on the 1st of January 1802, equal to 925,538 40
Making an aggregate chargeable to them for 1802 of dollars 10,298,290 68
They are to be credited as follows:
1st. For the payment of interest which in the year 1802 accrued on the whole of the public debt, in the report, not denied, 4,065,738 47
2d. For the payment of the bank debt including the proceeds of the 2,220 bank shares, 2,400 dollars paid from import duties, making together, 1,290,000
3d. For payment of the principal of the Dutch debt not denied 1,344,000
4th. For the provision necessary for the re-imbursment of the 8th instalment of the 6 per cent stock, and the 2d instalment of the deferred stock becoming payable January 1st, 1803, not denied, 1,117,869 37
5th. For the money laid out in the purchase of bills of exchange to the amount of 5,914,606 guilders, calculated by Mr. Griswold at 40 cents to the guilder equal to 2,365,842 40
Which several sums added together give the amount of credits admitted by the gentleman from Connecticut, 10,183,450 24
Learning the balance of 114,840 dollars 44 cents yet to be accounted for, and which the gentleman from Connecticut declares that he cannot account for. Mr. N. said he would endeavour to assist him, and he believed he could shew that the commissioners of the Sinking Fund were entitled to a credit even for a greater sum.
In the 1st place the gentleman from Connecticut has not given credit for two items stated in the report to have been paid, and which were paid, as follows: viz. on account of debts due to foreign officers, 7,994 92
On account of certain parts of the domestic debt, 14,966 84
On account of the difference in the price of exchange, Mr. Griswold calculating 5,914,606 guilders at 40 cents each whereas they really cost at the least 41 cents the guilder, making a difference of one cent the guilder equal to, 59,146 06
One bill of exchange drawn by a house in Baltimore, which Mr. N. said he knew had come back protested, and for which the indorsers had not repaid the money to the United States, amounting to 120,000 guilders, which even at par were equal to 48,000 dollars. 48,000
An unexpended balance in the hands of the cashiers of the banks at Philadelphia and Bolton, which considering the large advances made, might be fairly estimated at not less than dollars 10,000. 10,000
Making altogether the sum of 140,107 82
Which the commissioners of the Sinking Fund are entitled to a credit for more than the gentleman from Connecticut is willing to allow them, and dols. 25,267 and 33 cents more than the supposed deficiency of dols. 114,840 and 44 cents, which has been dwelt on so triumphantly to-day.
From this view, which I have taken of the subject, as briefly as I could, I venture to indulge a hope that it will be seen that the commissioners of the Sinking Fund have applied not only the 7,300,000 dollars agreeably to law, but a considerably larger sum, and that no impression will be made even upon their greatest enemies, that they hold a single dollar unaccounted for; as the time of the house is, particularly at this period, extremely precious, I will not venture to trespass on it farther, but shall most cheerfully give my assent to the resolution, under the fullest conviction that every objection can be fully answered even during the present session of Congress, although it can continue but one day longer. (To be Continued.)

WASHINGTON CITY.
WEDNESDAY, March 16, 1803.
Letter from Mr. Pichon, Charge des Affaires of the French Republic, to the Governor of his Catholic Majesty in Louisiana—
(Communicated to the Secretary of State)
George-town, near Washington City, 11th March, 1803.
Sir, The Marquis d'Yrujo has communicated to me the contents of the dispatches, which he has just received from your Excellency, and from the Intendant of his Catholic Majesty in the province under your command, in answer to those which he wrote to you in relation to the late suspension of the right of deposit conceded to the United States at New Orleans.
The Marquis d'Yrujo finds himself necessitated, again to remonstrate to your Excellency on that subject. I avail myself of the opportunity, to beg of you, Sir, in the name of the French government, whose interests are implicated in this case, namely to consider the alarming consequences which may result, if the Intendant should persist in his measures. The intelligence which has been transmitted to the Marquis d'Yrujo has, at last, made it appear indubitable that the measure alluded to was exclusively grounded on the personal opinions of this officer; and supported by no order from his Catholic Majesty, or any intimation from the French government. This information, while it screens from suspicion the dispositions of both governments, and lays entirely on the Intendant the consequences of the present state of things, does not however remove the apprehensions which that state is calculated to excite. These advices, Sir, give an additional force to the remonstrances, which, for my part, and in the anticipated conviction which I entertained that these measures had a cause merely local, I had no hesitation, lately, to address to the authorities, hourly expected, of the French Republic at New Orleans, under cover to the Intendant. So pressing are the circumstances, that I deem it my duty to renew these remonstrances, and to intreat your Excellency to exert your superior authority, to prevent the consequences which the prolongation of the present order of things may produce.
It will not escape your notice, Sir, that France now being notoriously the proprietor of Louisiana, and the authorities of his Catholic Majesty exercising in this colony, at present, only an intermediary power, any measure having a tendency to commit France, on whom the odium and the consequences of what has been done visibly fall, ought, were its justice and its lawfulness doubtful only, to be suspended; otherwise France may find herself committed, and her relations with the United States materially changed without her consent. I enter into no farther details with your Excellency, being satisfied that they would be superfluous; your Excellency will be aware that the present is a most critical moment. In the collision of two authorities, one of which undertakes to initiate a construction of treaties, which may lead to war, it fortunately happens, that the paramount authority, which is eminently entrusted with the preservation and safety of the colony, is of an opinion calculated to maintain peace. In such an alternative, Sir, your Excellency ought to hesitate no longer in using your powers to preserve this peace: If it should be disturbed, the responsibility of the event must inevitably lie on your Excellency. His Catholic Majesty, who is in some measure guarantee to France for Louisiana, until France shall have occupied it, would have to blame you for not having taken the measures necessary to fulfil that guarantee towards his ally.
The contents of this letter, Sir, will, I am confident, be fully justified to your Excellency by the existing circumstances, which the Marquis d'Yrujo, in behalf of his court, will doubtless make known to you more particularly. It only remains for me therefore, to pray your Excellency to accept the assurance of my respect and high consideration.
(Signed)
L. A. PICHON.

Mr. Munroe failed from New-York in the ship Richmond, on the 9th instant.
There is reason to believe that the rights and interests of this country will be successfully vindicated and ably promoted by our envoy to France and Spain. His intimate knowledge of whatever relates to the subject on which he is sent, the industry and fidelity with which he invariably discharges every duty assigned him by his country, the uniform sentiments which he has ever entertained respecting the Mississippi, and the zeal with which he is animated on a subject worthy of his talents and his best exertions, unite to render him one of the fittest, if not the fittest individual, that
could have been selected for the purpose. When, too, it is considered that the objects of our government are fair and honorable, founded on right, and such as we must obtain; and that they are also such as it is no less the interest than the duty of other nations to yield; we can entertain but little doubt of the successful issue of the mission.—The intraction of our rights on the Mississippi has certainly arisen either from the unauthorized acts of subordinate agents, or from a mistaken sense of interest on the part of the principals. The new facts, every day presented, offer the highest presumptive proof of the former; and it would seem to require a degree of scepticism bordering on lunacy not to yield to the clear and decided evidence contained in the Spanish Minister's letter to the Secretary of State inserted in our last paper, and to the corroborating and additional evidence furnished in the letter of Mr. Pichon, inserted this day. But granting that it is possible (and surely this is all that can be rationally asked or ceded)—granting that it is possible that these solemn and official declarations spring either from ignorance or a worse source;—still it can, and we presume it will be demonstrated to Spain and France, that the interests of both those countries would be deeply injured by the necessity, the inevitable effect of a deliberative invasion of our rights on the Mississippi. On this point it is unnecessary to dilate—There is, and can be but one opinion in America; and there is but one sentiment. The spirit that exists on the Atlantic is as indignant as that beyond the mountains; and if negotiation should fail; if moderate means should not avail; there is an appeal which the undissenting suffrage of America would call for, and which her united strength would render successful.
Under these circumstances, and a thousand others, which it may at this moment be prudent rather to reflect on, than express, we hope, and our hope is rational, that in a short time our rights will be fully restored, our character vindicated, and a new fashion giving to the superiority of those principles which control the measures of our government, over those which prevail too frequently in the councils of other nations.

Extract of a letter to the Editor, dated Philadelphia, March 12.
The Philosophical Society gave an elegant dinner last Saturday to Dr. Priestley in token of their personal regard, as well as respect for his Philosophical discoveries, and useful labours in the application of them. The toasts drank were appropriate to the object in view, and appeared to have the good fortune of being unexceptionable. It was pleasing to see all distinctions of religious sects and political opinions buried in the pleasing sentiments of fraternal esteem.
The Evening Post, and many other federal prints, continue to propagate the fabricated account that Kentucky is in arms, on the false authority of the alleged report of an arrival of an express in this city on the 2d of March. We have this day received the Kentucky Herald of the 1st of March, printed at Lexington, which so far from furnishing the slightest evidence in corroboration of the report, is perfectly silent on the measures at New Orleans. So deep rooted, however, is the spirit of misrepresentation, that we shall not be surprised if the federal prints still continue to circulate the story.

From the New-York Chronicle.
By Capt. Masters, of the ship American Hero, from Gibraltar, we have information, that accounts had been received there of the Spaniards having ordered all American vessels immediately to leave the port of Cadiz. These orders have been probably occasioned by
their conduct at New Orleans, and from an expectation that the arbitrary measures adopted by Spain towards the United States, would produce a rupture between the two nations. It also gives strength to the belief (if any is still necessary) that the conduct of the Spanish Intendant is not unauthorized, but that all his acts have been predicated in the court of Spain, or by a power to which Spain is subservient, and which is inimical to the interests of the United States. The above account, also, (if it is correct) evinces a disposition averse to accommodation, and rather inclined to widen the breach as much as possible.
Reposing full confidence in the wisdom of our executive, we trust such measures will be pursued as will best secure the interests and dignity of our country.
We cannot but express our surprise and regret that so precipitate a credit should be given to a mere report, founded on verbal information, and unconnected with any corroborating circumstances. Before the inferences contained in the above paragraph were drawn, there should have been some small time allowed to investigate the accuracy of the fact. It is scarcely conceivable that respecting a measure so injurious our government would not have received immediate intimation; and it might have been relied on that when received it would not have been concealed. We make this remark to inculcate more caution. No such intimation, we are well informed, has been received; and it is to be presumed that the rumour has entirely arisen from the recent quarantine regulations adopted in the Spanish ports.
From the Aurora. Extract of a letter from a near relation of Mr. Brown, senator from Kentucky in congress, to his friend in this city, dated February 4th.
Since your departure nothing new of a political nature has occurred. The question of the Mississippi has excited some anxiety, but the confidence we feel in the good dispositions of the general government has suspended the violence of popular clamor, and suggested a general disposition to await the result of diplomatic exertions.

From the New-York Morning Chronicle.
On Friday the 4th of March, the anniversary of Mr. Jefferson's election to the presidency, which formed a new era in the political affairs of this country, and transferred the reins of government from a federal to a republican administration, was celebrated with much festivity at Albany. The day was ushered in with a salute of artillery and the ringing of bells. In the afternoon the republican members of both houses, and a number of citizens, dined at Tontine Coffee-house—the president of the senate sitting as president, and the speaker of the house of assembly as vice.
The utmost hilarity prevailed, and the following toasts were drank, accompanied with discharges of artillery.
1. The 4th of March, 1801.—May it be held in lasting remembrance by all genuine republicans. 2. The people of the United States—a bright example of the practicability of self-government. 3. The president of the United States, a tried patriot of 1776—his character has never been assailed by the enemies of freedom and republican fun. 4. The Congress of the United States—the wisdom of their measures will defeat the machinations of our enemies. 5. The elective franchise—a barrier against the encroachments of aristocracy. 6. The governor of the state of New York—the unflinching friend of his country. 7. The memory of George Washington, and the other departed worthies of the revolution. 8. The heads of departments—May the government of the United States always have the aid of such talents and virtue. 9. James Monroe—His mission will secure the continuance of peace, or produce a union of exertion that will maintain our national rights. 10. The powers of Europe—Enemies in war, in peace friends. 11. The 4th of July, 1776—Let us cherish a remembrance of the day which secured our freedom and independence. 12. Agriculture and Commerce, the great sources of national wealth. 13. Samuel Adams, the inexorable patriot of 1778, and decided republican of 1801. 14. The State of New-York, an important pillar in the federal fabric. 15. Internal Taxes—a long reprieve to the whole family. 16. The American Fair—virtuous, good and amiable. 17. The State of Ohio—an additional security to republicanism.

FOR SALE.
A TRAT of Land on Acquia Creek in the County of Stafford and State of Virginia, containing 105 Acres—it adjoins Mr. Daniel C. Brent's Richland tract, is one mile from Potomac river, 12 from Fredericksburg, and 48 from the City of Washington. The Land is level and the soil of a good quality, it is uncommonly well adapted to the growth of wheat and Indian corn, it has on it an overflier's house, a good barn and some other final houses, a good apple orchard, a stone quarry on the bank of the creek, from which stone may be conveyed to market at less expense than from any other in that part of the country; eight or ten acres of valuable meadow Land, and several of the best fishing shores on that creek, one of which, and four acres of land are rented for 22 pounds per annum. On the opposite side of the creek are large banks of the richest shell marl, by which the whole of this land might, with little expense, be rendered very fertile. It being nearly surrounded by the creek—the name might be carried in boats to almost any part of it. The tract is supposed to have a sufficiency of timber on it, but should the purchaser with it, he may be supplied with any quantity of the proprietor's wood land on the opposite side of the creek, not exceeding fifty acres at a moderate price. The facility of conveying produce to Alexandria and the City of Washington from this farm must render it an advantageous possession to any person residing in either. For terms apply to Mr. PHINEAS JANNEY of Alexandria or to the editor of this paper.
105 acres of land, for 2500 dollars—the payment as follows, viz:
One thousand dollars on the first day of September next, and two equal annual payments for the balance, or two thousand paid on the first day of September next will be received as a full payment, and an inalienable title made when the money is received. Should the wood land on the opposite side of the creek be required, the price of that will be 20 dollars per acre, to be paid in three equal annual payments. Possession of the whole will be given on the first day of January next. Feb. 28. tawjgw.
