MINT OF THE UNITED STATES.
PMladelnhia, January Is. $50.

SIR,
IN compliance with the request OF the
committee Of rcyisaI and unfinished bust
ness, made known 10 me by your polite
letter of the 10th instant, hasten to give
the best answer in my power.
As list of the public property belong
ing to the Mint, under my care is pretty
accurately enumerated in letter I wrote
to the secretary of the treasury, under date
of 22d March last, in consequence ola ike
application from him, take the liberty
OF enclosing you copy Of it, for the infor-
nation ofthe committee.
have endeavored to estimate, as nearly
as possible, the probable amount for which
the real estate therein mentioned would
sell, in the present low state of such pro-
perty, in this city. ] have been led to AK
on the sum Of eight thousand dollars, as
the extent OF its present value. Asto the
rest of the items, they being peculiarly APP
propriatc 10 Mint, for which alone they
are valuable, am of opinion, they would
not exclusive of the copper) bring one
thousand dollars.
With orr present experience, should
think that new and complete Mint, ex-
elusive Of steam engine with the expense
| of which | am unacquainted) might be
( built for thirteen thousand dollars, not in
} Guiding the scite, which should not con-
slider as costing any thing, asifwell chosen,
! is rise in value in few years, might more
tuan double it's first cost. However, a
bout half the value Of the present real es-
tate, would be fully equal to the purchase.
] Thus having literally answered your re-
quest, shall l take the liberty to suggest,
what is really the effect of longer expert
enrc, and closer application to the subject,
than before. Wehayc hitherto been sup
Piled with the precious metals, beyond our
highest expectations but continuance of
an equal supply in future, cannot be lock
ed for with any degree ofcertainty, unless
congress in their wisdom, can point out
some new source of supply. We never
yet have coined a single dollar ofthc pre-
cious metals for congress. On this view
of The subject, conceive the present es-
Enlistment may answer for some years TO
come, as well as it has for some years past,
| with the small expense of a few hundred
/ dollars, and particularly for the purpose Of
getting rid ola trlliiIg incumbrance in our
| local situation. The supply of bullion is
not such, as to render steam engine so
necessary, as to Justify the expense, unless
a new Mint should be thought eligible ;
in which case, should advise its adoption
without hesitation.
| II will be necessary, that some determi-
nation OF congress should take place this
session for although the law for establish
| ing the Mint is without limitation, yet the
temporary law for continuing it IN this CT
ty, expires on the 4th March next; ne
vertheless there is no law requiring its re-
moval.
hope, sir, that have been as explicit
on the reference in your letter, as you
have wished, at least so, that you may be
possessed of my ideas on the subject.

The polls were opened, upwards of soc
