The Committee OF Investigation on the sub-
jet OF the charges preferred by Mr. Edwards
against the Secretary OF the Treasury made
their report in the House Of Representatives On
the 25th ult. The following is the conclusion OF
the report -

amined, does NOT support--the charge Of hav-
ing mismanaged the public funds

IN the second charge, appear, by evidence salts

Having partially recovered from nervous dis
temper, brought on by severe course of academl-
cal studies, determined to withdraw for the sum-
mer months into the country, where my constltu-
ton, naturally weak, might be invgorated, and my
mind be diverted from preying on my body, by the
novelty and variety of such amusements as woods,
and rivers and mountains, and valleys, afford Both
inclination and necessity (for was not atfluenD in
duced me to seek place Of retirement at once
humble and private, where my expenditure would
Beinconsiderable, and my actions might escape from
that ceremonious restraint which tue forms OF So
ciety impose upon its members. / had travelled
for some time in search of such an abode, but with
little success when one evening as was returning,
quite chagrined to the village, where had lain the
night before, my eyes were attracted to a narrow
sheep-walk, which deviated nearly at right angles
from the high road, by something which thought
resembled an ornament of dress lying in the middle
of the path. Upon taking it up, found it to be
pale blue rbband, simply folded in the form of
starknot and held together by sken thread OF
the same colour. This some proof at least, that
a hab;tation was not far distant, and l Immediately
determined to attempt discovering it +; for, beside
the desire of returning the trihe to its owner, was
strongly tinctured with that theory which appropr-
ates much of our future destiny to such accidental
occurrences, and firmly believed that this path
way and no other would lead me to the object in
search of which had set out; especially as the
aforesaid ribband did not lie the road was pur-
suing, but considerable distance from it on the
byepath, thereby obviously pointing out to me the
way should choose.
The path speak of sunk down between two hills,
descending much below the level of the high road,
overlooked still deeper declivity. l shall never
forget the enchanting prospect which offered itself
10 my view as stood in the green recess, formed
