In further compliance with a resolution
of the House.oi Representatives of the 8th
of May, 4828, the Secretary of the T^vasu
ty has now the honUr to transmit copies of
all the official correspondence between the
Secretary and the banks in which the pub
lie moneys were deposited,-from the 1st of
January, 1817, to theBttiof May, 1822,
that is considered as included, either di
rcctly or indirectly, in the terms of the re
solution, and that has not been heretofore
communicated to the House.
„ The Hon. Mr Edwards, late a Senator
' from Illinois, having sta cd, on his examin

the IStb of February, 1823, that the late
receiver of public money* at' Edwardsviile
had, on his advice, and in his presence
Witten a letter to the Secretary, enclosing
* copy of a publication which Mr. Edwards
represent himself to have made sometime
in the year'1819, announcing his intention
Of retiring from the directorship of the
' hunk of Edwardsviile; and that he had ad.
vised the Receiver to withhold his depo&ites
$-<<m the bank, untilJie could receive fur.

Mr EDWARDS’ ACCUSATION.
Mr Floyd, from the committee to whom
was reft rred the memorial of N. Edwards,
vindicating hhnself and accusing Mr Sec
retary Crawford, pursuant to instructions of
the cnpimittee, communicated the following
minutes of i s proceedings, yip: -
“The comtnittee to whom was referred
a communication from Ninian Edwards,
report the following minutes of their pro
ceedings to the Housp of Representative*:
Afru.21.
Present, all the members of the Commit
tee. • .
Voted, That the committee ought to
proceed To ihake inquiry into tjie matters
contained in the said memorial, dnd connec
ted therewith.
Voted, That, for the purpose of such
inquiry, the attendance oi the said Ninian
Edwards upon the Cdmmittce,to be by them
examined, is requisite; and that his alien
dance be accordingly ordered.
Voted; That the Chapman do inform
the House of the foregoing resolutions of
the'Committee, and inasmuch as it is sug
gested that the said Ninian Edwards is
about to leave the United States on foreign
diplomatic service,
Voted, That the Chairman do move the
House that information of said communica
tion, of the votes of the House thereon, and
«?f the foregoing resolutions of the commit
ue, be communicated to the President of
the United States.” •
The latter proposition having been put
into the form «f a motion by Mr. Taylor,
ol New York, and the question being upon
agreeing thereto*-
Mr. Forsyth, of Georgia, said he had the
honor, a day or two ago, of .submitting a
motion t(> toe House oo this subject, the ob
ject f which he had not an opportunity to
explain,.in ednsequenco of a call for the
question of consideration. The objoctl had
jn view, said Mr. F. was the same as that
which the committee aeem to have had in
'•ontemplatkm in their report of this morn
ing. I under-land this to be, to prevent
any collision between the orders of theExe
cutive Uranc'i of the Government and those
of the Legislature. I understand the com
mittee to have determined on calling Mr.'
Edwards before them' to ascertain what he
has to say upon this subject, in addition to
what he has stated in his memorial. As a
matter of courtesy, that being the ease, H
is proper for the House to. give notice oi
the tact to the President of the United
States, that the individual in question might
not seek to escape, under the plea of Exe
cutive orders, from the investigation which
he has himself asked of this House to insti
tute. The object of my motion was the
"same with that now before the House, and
it appears to,me that the form of mine was
more proper than the form of that which
has been*submitted. s What jnterest has the
President of the United States in knowing
what are the votes of any committee of this
House? All that is necessary fir him to
know is, that this House has taken up the
subject for investigation* We do not asK
from him any thing to enable ua to exer
cise our rightful power in this, matter, and
our motives for acting are therefore of no
importance to the due information of the
Executive. The- simple annunciation ol
the fact is sufficient.' Under, these impres
sions f Mr. F. Moved to strike out all the
above, aftet the Word “ Ordered, u and in
sert, in lieu thereof, his motion, in the fol
lowing words.
“That the President be officially inform
ed that this House has ordered ati investiga
tion of the memorial presented to this
House on the 19th instant, by N. Edwards,
lately appointed Minister to Me..l^-: that
the saw N. Edwards may be instructed not
to leave the U. States before that investiga
tion has taken piece-”
Mi. Randolph, of Virginia, said, as the
course pointed out by the committee would
°* ,e attain all the objects which The gentleman
fr <m Georgia had in view, he did not see
why the change should be made. If the
gentleman will attend to the terms of the
proposition before the House, said Mr. R.
he will see that there is nothing in it which,
in the smallest degree, compomits the pro-
cedihgs of this body: thsk we aro acting by
our own inherent power: that it is not pro
posed to call on the Executive Depart
ment, though a co-ordinate branch of the
government, for any auxiliary aid. We are
acting by our own virtue and power: but,
bavins done so, we have thought it propei
to advise the Executive branch of the gov
ernment, that he might take such order on
the matter, in his own exclusive sphere, as
to him may seem fit and proper. And
what more can we do ? I hope the amend,
ment will not be adopted, but that we shall
decide on this motion, and give to the chair
man an opportunity to make a further mo
tion which he is aut horized by the commit
tee to make.

from tire House of Representatives, “to

The senate haying'thus refused to strike
tObt tb'e original bill, the question recurred
' ^porfth'a\ bill. Mr Hay tie moved that the
further consideration of the subject be post
ported to Monday next. This motion gaie
rise to a short desultory debate, between
# Messrs* Findlay, Noble, aiid Brown, It was
Mr. Taylor, of N. Y. said, it .was true
that, on a formor occasion, when the gen
tleman from Georgia presented his motion,
he (Mr. T.)did call for the question of con
sideration upofl it. The reason why he had
done so, was, that -the subject had just been
referred to a commmjtee without any special
instruction. The first question, it was ap
parent, which would present itself to that
Committee would be, does the memorial
contain sufficient matter to justify proceed
ing in the. investigation of its contents:-—
That question had.not been in any manner
dccfded, when the gentleman from Georgia
offered his motion. It was not until last
night that the committee came to the de
termination that it was proper that they
should proceed; in their inquiry. This,
Mr. T, said; was necessarily a previous
question to be determined. For, if the com
mittee, had’been of opinion that tjie subject
was not, for'anyreason, fit tope inquired
iqfo, it would not'have beeri proper to give
to the President the intimation in question
A;fier*lie committee had decided the pre-
.Uromsfry qoeatioh, the next step was to re
quire the attendance of Mr. Edwards. The
House .will perceive That the committee
propOko to apply to the Executive for no
potyer, but to nutify.him ol the decision re-
quiring the attendance of Mr. Edwards, as
a fit regard for that comity and .respect
which is due from this House to R co or
dinate branch of the government Mr. T.
believed that the notification of both theae
decisions of the committed was necessary,
for the purpose of apprising the President
of the reasons of this House for requiring
the attendance of an individual who was
known to be abient on diplomatic services
& c;
Mr. Webster, of Mass, did not see tlQ|
any difficulty was presented by this question
to the House. Here, said he, is a commu
nication referred .to a committee of this
House, in the course of investigating which,
the personal attendance of an individual,
understood to have been recently dispatch
ed on a foreign service, is found to be ne
cessary, and is required. All that the com
mittee aim at, theiefore, is to infirm the
Executive oi.so much as to shew that busij
ness before us requires the personal atten
dance oi ono whom he has dispatched, or
is about to dispatch on foreign diplomatic
service. This is all that is proposed by the
resolution now before the House.
Mr. Bremer, of Penn, rose, and observe
to), that, before he voted on this question;
he must know whether the committee can
waif, for the retqrn oi the person proposal
to be sent for.. He kndw not, for his own 1
part, where Mr Edwards was to be-found,
The session was now near its close, and it
would be unnecessary to Bend for him if,
when he came, the Haufee had adjourned-;
or the committee was not prepared to go;
on. If we do send to Wheeling, when our.
messenger gets there Mr E will be gone,'
and we shall be pursuing him from town t«x’
town nobody knows how long. II it was
in order, he should move that tire resolu
tion lie on the table.
1 he motion to lay the subject on the ta
ble Was decided in the negative, by a large
majority. .
Mr. McLane, of Del. said, the objection
he had to the matter now before the House,
would apply as well to the resolution of the
oentleman from Georgia, as to the recom
mendation of the committee. He could
perceive no necessity for the further inter
position of the House, .and it might be im
proper to call for it. We have referred
the memorial to a committee, said he, with
what propriety it is not for me now to say,
and have vested that committee with full
power to send for persons and papers We
could give no greater power. Under the
authority already possessed, the committee
were authorized to send, for this individual,
without our interference, and he thought
they should do so. It the public character
of the individual rendered it improper to
compel his attendance, without tho inter
Terence of the Executive, it would be com
petent for the committee, without applying
•o the House, to r quest such interference.
He had some experiehce of parliamentary
proceedings, and he believed it unprece
dented For a committee, vested with full
powers, to call upon the House to do what
might be as well done without, their aid
He .could easily conceive, that a subject ol
no great magnitude, in itself, might be
clothed with much artificial importance, by
such (proceedings; and he saw no propriety
in the committee reporting the journal of
their private proceedings, from time to time,
to Ibis House. He was averse to the re
peated agitation of the subject in this man
ner, to the prejudice of other business, by
the daily or weekly report of the journal of
the committee’s proceedings. He desired
-a full and prompt investigation: the prompt
er the better; but he tho t the committee
had ample power over the subject, and he
hoped the Houbu would not be called up
on to act uunecessarily in the business.
Mr. Cuthbert, ol Geo v referring to the
intimation, as he understood it, of the Com
mittee, that the presence of Mr. Edwards
was so necessary that the investigation of
the charges made by him could not go on
without his presence, said he thought there
could be no such indispensable necessity
for the presence of Mr. Edwards here. The
House would perceive, he 6aid, that any
individual, intending to do a serious mis
chief to another, might select a particular
moment to prefer charges against another,
and, by abandoning his position, preventing
an investigation of his motives as well as
hiB charges, leave an erroneous impression
on the public mind. It was desirable that
the accuser should be where he places his
accusation: the common sense of mankind
shews that the accuser ought to abide by
the consequences oi his accusation. But,
if he flies from that responsibility, the in
vestigation should not, therefore, be delay
ed. Such delay would be to furnish the in
dividual with an opportunity of doing all
the 'mischief hc/lesired. Unless it could
be ascertained that the individual in ques
tion could be bro't to this place within a
reasonable time, it was desirable,it appear
ed to him, that the investigation of his
charges should not be delayed until he co^ld
be sent for.

whether gentlemen t
ought to be brought before the committe*
or not, the writ is now on its way: that it
will be served upon himi and that he will
be brougut hero, whether we vote in one
way or another, on this question. In case
thib inquiry is to be prosecuted, said Mr. R.
1 cattn t consent'to act, on that committee,
except by the imperious mandate of this
Houso, without the presence pi the infor
mer. The committe. having first resolved
that this inquiry should be prosecuted—
that the informer should be brought before
the Grand Jury, have reported the .fact—-
lor what ? That the House, befog one of
the co-orditiate branches’of this government
of ours, should communicate to the other
co ordinate branch, that which, in courtesy,
the other branch ought (o’ be put in posse
sion of. What do we ask of the President.
To aid us to bring this Minister before us?
Not we need no authority from him We
will, in despite of any man in this land, have
him before us. If, indeed; he shall have
made his escape from the country, we can
not'foUow him to Mexico; but, any' where
abort of the Baitze, tne warrant of this
House is a» high authority as any krtown
in this land, andj as such, I trust it will be
supported. If 1 had thought that, in the
act of that Committee,^he privileges of this
House—the privileges of the American
People in tlieir Representatives, hod been
compromited, no consideration that man
can name, would have induced me to gfofc
it my sanction. It was at my motion that
the order Was passed to bring the accuser
before us.' I hope, the House will proceed
is proposed. The committee have matt,
tained the authority ol this House, which 1
never will surrender, and have, in theit
report, acted to the Executive with that
comity and urbanity which^when 'it shall
cease to prevail between tile co-ordinate
branches of any government like ours* mus
throw every thing into confusion.'
Mr. Cook,o! Illinois, said, it had been,
and should be, his course, pending thi-
subject, to abstain from saying any thing
tn relation to the merits of it, and toabstait
from exhibiting any thing like feeling i<
relation to it. In his opinion, the cours-
Wltich the Committee had pursued, on thi
occasion, was a proper one. The ExecVt
tive had probably given its orders to On
individual, and his actual position might
not be so vyell known to (toy '>nc as to tit-
Executive. Mr C- thought it was probabn
that before any procoss could reach him,ht.
would have left Illinois,8c might have reach
ed N, Orleans, and the information commu
nicatcd to the Executive might be eftectua
to an&wer the end of the process of .thi,
House reaching him. Mr. G. concluded,
by repeating that he would not trust hi*
feelings on this occasion, for he wished to
suppress them, so for as to speak' on tin
merits of this controversy, 8cc.

anti Mat the
wbic, the process
Mr. Webster replied to the gentleman
from Delaware, as to the report made from
the committee, It was certainly no unusu
al thing for the Chairnan of a Committee to
make a'motion in this House, by (jie ins*
truction ol tt>e committee: and, if a portion
of the minutes ol the committee were cou
pled with it, he did not see that would alter
the case, as to the expediency or propriety
of the practice. With respect to the gu-
gestion, which had been made, that send
ing for Mr Edwards would procras'inate
the inquiry, the gentleman from Georgia
was not to suppose that the committee was
going wholly to suspend this investigation,
to wait for any body’s attendance.
Mr. McLean, still fully impressed with
the correctness of tjjie view which he had
taken of this matteri'moved to re commit
ahe report of the select commUee,
Mr. Randolph said, he hoped the motion
for re-commitment would not prevail; and
he rose for the purpose only of calling the
Cook said that, whenup before, he hadfo*
tended-to suggest, that the vessel which was del-
tine 1 to carry Mr. Edwards to Mexico, wag yet at
this Jlace; that by this vessel, information could
m of his presence being desired here,
only, at least most probable way, 1-.
process of this House could reach liim,
and h • could be recalled for the purposes of this
house, would be by means ofthis vessel.
Mr. Floyd said, that the commiite« had thought
it necessary that this individual should be present
during the examination of his charges. They
were perfectly aware that the authority-with
which they were invested by the house, was suf-
ficient for all the purposes of bringing him here,
and, in the course which they had pursued, - had
no object but to give the President of the U States
in a respectful manner, information of the course
which it had been thought propfer, b£ the com
mittee, to pursue; and he hoped the opposition
to it would be withdrawn.
Mr. M'Lane said he wa9 not anxious to embjarass
the proceedings by themotion-wfoch he had made
under the conviction, in hia own tpind,*'that the
President ought not to be callbd upon to do what
the house has the perfect power to do. *He was
anxious for this investigation to go on. He tho’t.
with the gentleman from Virginia, that the infor.
mer on this occasion ought to be present; but he
thought also, that the whole matter was already
within the power of the committee. To save
trouble to the Housv, however, he would with
draw bis motion for re-commitment.
Mr, Mallary, of Vermont, said, the house had
given the committee all the power# which it pos
sesses in relation to this matter. The question is,
now whether it is necessary to call upon the house
to aid the committee to Carry it# powers into exe
cution. The committee have all the powers of
this house on the subject, and have certainly the
same power to communicate the fact pftheirprb-
ceedings to the President, that this house has^nd
on the same principle ohVrhich they would have
power to ask information from' him,
Mr. Forsyth said, that he had ifot offered his
first motion on the subject, (that which the house
refused to consider,) before this house had refer
red the inquiry, into the subject to a committee,
with power to serid for persons and papers. It
appeared to him, he said, at the time he made the
motion, that such a proceeding was absolutely due
m courtesy to the Executive, Perhaps, he said,
he bad some little feeling on this subject, arising
from the difference of the manner in which his
proposition, and the nearly, similar one of another
gentleman, had beep received, He saw no ne
cessity, however, for pressing his amendment,
though he could hot see any occasion for all this
particularly on the subject.. In deference, there
fore, to the wishes of several of his friends, whose
opinions he always respected, he withdrew his
motion for amehament.
The question recurring, on the report of the
committee •
Mr.Fuller, of Massachusetts^],he was rather
sorry that the gentleman from Georgia had With
drawn his motion, because it was perfectly free
from any ambiguity, whifeh the proppsition of the
committee was not. If the amendment bad pre-
vailed, however, he could not have voted for the
proposition, for this reason: He was one of tbdse
who hoped, the other, day, that the motion for
Printing the mefnorial would have prevailed, and
municate this information to the President Mr
