Secretary ofthe Treasury to the Second commit,

L The tariff.
It wilt be seen by a reference to the Congres-
ilor. it news In a succeeding column, that the Sen
ate have stricken out the clause in the Tariff Bil';
- imposing a prospective duty ol cj cents on cotton
flagging. Other amendments were also proposed,
- ' but the Senate adjourned before taking the ques
tion. The National Intelligencer, speaking of the
blows inflicted on the bill, rem^ks: “We under
stand, however, that the bill \t not yet entirely,
despaired of. It is supposed, as a possible event
that, in place of the duties on iron and hemp,
which have been successively rricken out, n
lower rate of duty on each of those articles, may
find favor with the Senate. We confess, however,
that we see little prospect, at present, of that bik
becoming a law, at this session, in any shape.”
■the Gudina Observer states that Mr. Adams
is the only one of the Presidential candidates who
is opposed to the Tariff, and ought therefore t"
receive the votes of th e southern states. In an
swer tJthis we only say, Credat Judaeui Appella.
The Washington Republican, has attempted to
disparage Gen.Chandler, and to elevate CoL R M.
Johnson, by a reference to the military conduct

though ho did not happen to kill an Indian. AH
the difference we know Of is, that Gen Chandler

The Petersburg Intelligencer, to commenting
upon Mr, Edward's memorial to Congress, ob-
nerves, “one specification .is, that Ur. Crawford ha*
ftiam.maged the finance!t and this charge is brought
fur , urd by Mr. E. notwithstanding the fact is
notorious; that Mr Crawford, since he cam? into
uthre, has paid off thirty'three millions of the
Public Debt, and has at present a surplus in the
I Jali(\nal Treasury of upwards of six million* of
dollars. Here’s mismanagement! But if Mr.
Crawford has managed ill, Mr Edwards has un
questionably managed well. He has showed him
self an able financier—for after pocketing 18,000
dollars of the people’s money, (bis outfit as Minis

ADDRESS OF'ttlNtAN EDWARDS
Prcuntedto the Route of Representative! by the
Speaker, April 19, 1824.
CONCLUDED.
Agi)in : Mr. Craw'ord in his testimony
says, “It is usual when resolutions require
information which the records or files orthe
office afford, to send copies} bif when there
is a press of business, the ORIGINALS
are sometimes sent, a&in the present tast."
Thus, it appears, from the oaths of these
two gentlemen, that Mr. Dickins delivered
all the “originals and rough drafts” to Mr.
Crawford; and that the latter sent them all e* of the
to the House. No one therefore could rea
sonably expect to find COPIES among
them. Vet, upon on examination of the
corrcspi ndenre with the Huntsville Bank
alone, it will he found that one third of the
pages it occupies, and more than that pro
portion of the letters, arc given as EX
TRACTS. These, surely, can not he O-
RIGINALS, unless Mr Crawford and the
President ot the Bank of Huntsville were
in the habit of sending EXTRACTS of
their own letters to each other—-a novelty
that can scarcely be believed to have occur
fed
But, besides the striking variance between
Mr. Crawford’s statement, of having sent
the originals to the House, and the fact nl
this case, the transformation of those orj'
ginals into extraits, requires explanation,
at least. It is difficult to conjecture am
motive for sending these extracts, instead
of the originals, unless, {it was for the
purpose of omitting and withholding sorm-
thing which Die latter contained; and i! Mr
Crawford "never sanctioned the omission
of ANY PART of the correspondence,”
by whom, and with what motives, coulr
these extracts have been made, and rois
tered into the place of the originals?
It cannot be too much to say that then
appears to have been considerable forg t
“illness in some part of this affair.
Mr. Crawford must also have forgbtte
the resolution of 1816, when, in direct vin
lation of its positive injunctions, he received
from certain local banks, in discharge o:
their debt3 to the United States, and at par,
the large amount ofuncurrent notes, which,
in his report, he admits he did receive from
them.
But his memory must have bacn much
more unfortunately treacherous to him, in
two other particulars, relating to this busi
ness, lor, I shall show that he has made
two palpable and important misstatements
in regard to it.
Being called on by a resolution of the
House of Representatives to Btate the a
mount of uncurront paper, which he receiv
ed from the local banks, that had been made
depositories of public money, received from
the sale of public lands, he admits the re
ceipt of a large amount from, tho Banks ol
Edwardsville, Missouri, and Tombeckbee.
But as art excuse for his conduct, he re
presents those notes to have been deposit ri
in these banks “before the date of their
contracts,” under which, they agreed tn
account for the public deposites as specie.
This I do most unequivocally and posi
tively aver to be a misrepresentation and
an indefensible apology, and your honora
ble body cannot fail to be convinced of it,
by adverting to the contracts themselves.
I will refer to only one of them at present.
The very first article of the contract with
the Bank of Edwardsville, under which it
received the first cent of public deposites,
is in the following words, viz : “1st. That
the public moneys shall be entered to the
credit of the Treasurer as cash:" which
may be seen in document No. 66, letter G.
No. 1 and 2.
But, for bis own opinion upon the sub
ject, even in a case where there had been
no express stipulation “to pay cash,” I re
fer your honorable body to his letter L, No
1, to the President of the Bank rf Hunts
ville, dated 11th Jan 1818, where it will be
found that he says, “In making the Plant
ers’ and Merchants’ Bank of Huntsville a
palace of deposite, at its particular solicita-

His Own suppressed letter B, No. 7, flit
ted'29th. May, 1819. contains a notification
to the Bank of Missouri, of the failure of
the former of these banks. And a friend
has furnished me wfihmefollowing extract
from the files of the National Intejligcncer
in regard to the latter, viz: “August 2&th,
1810! The Mechanics’Bank ot Alexan
dria does not redeem its notes in specie, and
* its notes no longer pass here currently.”
The suppressed letters,. B, No 25, from
himself to the President - of the Bank of
Missouri, dated 14th Nnv, 1820, and the
President's answer’B, No 26, dated 12th
Dec. 1820, will show, that he received Trom
that bank $40,156, in notes on the Bank of
Tennessee, and its branches, which were
deposited in the Bunch of the U. Slates’
Bunk, nt L uisville, on the 21st ol May
1820, to meet the Treasurer’s draft.
A report from Luke Lea, Pension Agent
at Knoxville, to J L Edwards, of the Pen

that these Antes were "mostly on the branch

Letters from Rio Janeiro, of the 23d Feb. state
that Lord. Cochrane was there with a fleet destin-
• eil fot the blockade of Pernambuco, which place
hss refused to acknowlelge the authority of the
Emperor. The English have a large squadron on
the oast, and were daily expecting reinforce
ments—the French have two frigates, two sloops
and a brig, and were likewise expecting rein
forcements.
Another account from Rio, of the 25th February
tlotices the arrival bf the British 90 gun ship
Cambridge, with! Consuls on board for La Plate,
Chili and Peru, and states that it was reported
that the French vessels of war Which had arrived
there} were placed at the Order of the Emperor.
The U. S. ship Franklin, left Rio previous to
(he 2S.1 Feb. in pursuit of a piratical cruiser under
Spanish colors, which had ri bbed a Or. ship of
#135,000, and detained as a prisoner, the Ameri.
can consul at Coquimbo, who was on board of
her.
English vessels of war were daily arriving on
the const of Brazil, •
A report prevailed.at Rio, that Spain had ceded
the Island of Chiloe to the French.
Pernambuco dates of, the Slat March, notice
icme disturbances between the President and tb:
troops, and state that Lord Cochrane was daily
Expected there.
A letter frorn Rio Janeiro,of the 2lst February,
states that tlte King and Queen ofjKe Sandy,!.!;
islands, and suite,were at that phciyon their w,>y
■{q Ei'tJ.ncl eftd the RmteU'Sfetes/
tlon, it wa» expected that the transfer of !
the fhnds which it. undertook to make, would
be effected in funds that circulated at par
at the place where the transfer was direct
ed. As the Receiver had been directed to
teceive the bills on no banks which did not
discharge them in specie upon demand, it
was expected that the bank would be an
swerable for the amounudepOsited in spe
cie, or in bills which would be received ns
specie, at the place to which ’he money
should be directed to be transferred, unless
it should state the contrary.”
But this is not the w .rst case: he has, in
the same report, misstated the amount of
uncuri ent notes,which he did receive from
those hanks, making it much less than it
actually was; amJ some ot the suppressed
letters in the correspondence with the Bank
of Missouri will prove it.
1 his,statement, no doubt, will surprise
and astonish your honorable body; but, you
will not long regard it as a proof of temerity.
I shall, however, content myself with* bare
ly stating enough to carry resist!ess.convie
rion to your own minds of the truth of it.
None shall doubt, who-will either read ot
hear the testimony exhibited to you by Mr
Crawford himself.
The suppressed letters B, No. 15, from
tho President of the Bank of Missouri, da-
ted 11th Oct. 1819, and B, No. 19, from
Thomas Reddick, agent of that Bank, da
ird l Bib Pel) 1820, taken in connexion
•vith Mr. Crawford’s settlement with tin-
■iitid agent, will prbvc tl.ut.the sum of gi,*
175, which lie (Mr Crawford,) received
Irmo that bank, .though artfully stated so as
to disguise the (act, was composed ol $290
ul uoiea on the l’iankfin Bank of Alestan
ITnoxville Bank."
I have in my possession proof that those
branches slopped payment in ihe summer
of 1819, but I deem it unnecessary to ex
hibit, aa every member of the delegation in
Congress, from Tennessee, as well as other
members of Congress, must know that they
had failed to redeem their notes in specie,
long bolore the notes in question were re
ceived by Mr. Crawford. It is only neces.
sary to add, that none of these notes are in
eluded in the amount of uncurrent notes re
ported hy Mr. Crawford
. Now, though the probability that these
misstatements, were innocently made, is
somewhat weakened hy the suppression ol
the letters that would have detected theii'
inaccuiaciee, | do not deem it necessary
to insist that they prove any thing mor.t-
than a greater degree of forgetfulness and
inadvertence, than to have forgot or over
looked such u trifling affair ns the letter
mentioned in tny examination. If they
were intentional, it would prove the state
meat made against me so much the less
entitled to credit.
In making deposites in the local Banks
of Louisville, Cincinati, Chiilicothc, and ol
the District of Columbia, (in all of which
places Branches of the Bank ol tho Untied
States were established,) and, in some in
stances, commuting those deposites. for
vears in succession, without making any
report thereof to Congress, Mr Crawford
must have forgot, for a very long time, in
deed, and on a great Variety of occasions,
both the letter and intention of the following
section in the law establishing the Bank of
the United States, viz.
“ Be it enacted, ilc That the deposites
of the money oith- United States in places
in which the said Bank or Branches thereof
may be cstabiihsed, shall be made in said
Bank or Branches thereof, unless theSe
crclary of the Treasury shall, at any time,
otherwise order and direct ; in which case
the Secretary of the Treasury shall imme
diately lay before Congress, if in s'.ssion,
and if not, immediately after the commence
ment of the next session, the reasons of such
order or direction.”
Indeed, I am under the impression that,
notwithstanding his compliance with the
above requisition, on the 10th December,
1817, which proved that it was then fresh
in his recollection, and though !m connec
tion with the Bank of the United Slates, its
pressing wan s, and the nature of the busi
ness he had to transact with it, were all cal
culated to recal his attention to that oart gf
his duty, almost every day, he himself has,
in some one of his reports, admitted that he
had overlooked it through “ mere inadver
tenet"
I regret to have to say to your honorable
body, that bmh the state of my health, and
the want of time, absolutely compel mo,
most-rcluctantly to close this investigation
of Mr. Crawford’s well-timed statement a-
gainst me. In this situation, I beg leave to
to refer you, for further facts, of which I
might, under more favorable circumstances,
fairly and successful avail myself, to a lew
oi the publications under the signature
of “ AB,” herewith transmitted.
A vowing myself the author of these pub
lications, and, with the exception of a few
unimportant typographical errors, and a
mere verbal inaccuracy in regard to the
lime of a certain report’s being made, re-as
serting, before your honorable body, and the
nation, that the facts they allege are sub
stantially true, I do most respectfully shli
they,respectively rfefer to.
Ail. this I do defensively; fori If the facts
stated be true,' nt> rational man can dq.ubi
that they must weaken, aji least, the force
of Mr Crawford’s statement against me., f
l will not charge him with bud intentions
in any of thpse acts. It U more propgii>
the duty ol others to inquire into Bind judge
of that matter. I do not as^t tor an investi
gationof bis conduct. Such areq>iestoqgbt
more naturally to be looked for.froiji hinisel/ 1
But I will say, that, if being an officer of
tht; same government under which be holds
‘.is office, I have wilfully and maliciously
misrepresented him,.in the six foregoing
allegations, it is a misdemeanor that would
prove me unworthy of the office I hold, I
invite him,'or any of his friends, to make
this charge against me, pledging myself, to
| waive all notice, and, with all the disadven*
‘ 1 tages of absence, to submit to an investiga
tion thereof by either or both Houses of
Congress, and to abide by the decision there
upon If this proposition is declined, I trust
we shall have no more canting about an
“ A. B plot ” As to myself, 11 ar not the
consequences of any fair investigation, for
I know I shall be able, whatever may b. -
the result, to justify myself to the nation.
And nezer having obtained any office by
the slightest sacrifice «f indepenndece, I
never will owe the holding of one to reluc
tant forbearance, or the coarte y of my
eneuiies.
I will only add, that, if any attempt should
hereafter be made, meanly to take advanta
ges of my ubsence, by those who have for
borne to attack me when 1 could have nnd
an opportunity of defending myself, 1 must
beg of your honorable body, and the nation,
to suspend your opinions, and to be assured
that there shall be no avoidable delay in
indicating myself. I have in reserve much
matter of defensive accusation, and should
most certainly have invited your attention

matters of not less importance, had time

order to strengthen my claim to this indul
gence, combining all the rightaof defence,
of accusation, and of asking for investiga
t:on, which can entitle me, as a citizen of
the United States, or an officer of their gov
erhment, to appear before your honorable
body, I do expressly state:
1. That the Honorable \V illiarn H. Craw,

managed the national funds.
2. That he has received a,large amount
of uncurrent notes from ceitain banns, in
part discharge gf their debts to tho United
States, contrary tb the resolution of Con
gress of 18 f6.
3 That, being called on by a resolution
of the House of Representatives to state the
amount of uncurront notes which be receiv
ed from these banks, he has misstated it,
making it less than it really was.
4. That he has, in his report to the House,
misrepresented the obligations of those
banks, or some one of them, at least, and
predicated thereon an indefensible excuse
lor bi3 conduct in receiving tbosg qnpur-
rent note?.'
5. That he has acted illegally, in a variety
of instances, by making and continuing
deposites of public money in certain local
banks, without making report thereof to
Congress, according to law; and
6. That tie has, in several instances, with

The bill for the settlement of the claim of the

estly hope hat the present session will not close
without providing for the equitable adjustment of

us, is concerned in it; and the laws of hospitality,

Wo observe a singular misapprehension, on the
part of some of our public prints, in respect *o
the effect of the bill, which nas passed the Senile
and now before the House of Representatives of
the United Stutes, for abolishing Improvement
fur debt I seems to be supposed that the bill, if
it becomes a law, is to be universally operative,
and is to abolish imprisonment for debt through
out the land. The least reflection, however, will
shew, that an act ofthe Congress of the United
States, on the subiect. can apply only to cases i.>
which the Courts pf the United States have cog.
nizance, and of course, not to cases of judgments
in the courts of the several states, which man,
even should this bill pass, continue to be regulat
ed by the laws of the states There is a good
ground to believe, however, that the example ol
thr general government on this point would be
followed, at no long distance, by the governments
of the several states.

TRIAL FOR PIRACY.
Tub United States vs. Josef Perez.
The prisoner who was indicted for a piracy
committed off the Island of Cuba in the month of
August, 1822, on board the schr. Bee, ofCharles-
ton, was tried yesterday before the Hon Smith
Thompson, in the Circuit Court of the U. States.
He had been formerly put upon his trial, but the
jury being unable to agree ujfon a verdict, were
discharged, which led to an application to the su
preme Court, which was determined against the
prisoner. -
The fact of a piracy having been committed
was proved beyond doubt by Capt Johnson, nnd
a seaman by the name of Porter; who, it will be
remembered by nur readers, apprehended the
prisoner in the street, and occompanied him to
the Police Office. ;
The Bee was bound froth Charleston to S}. JCan
dc Itemed ie, in the Island -of Cuba, within a few
miles of which place she was brought to by the
pirates, the vessel robbed, and the crew barbar.
ously put into a leaky yawl, with an oar and a half
and turned adrift upon the ocean. At the end of
five days they providentially landed at Matanzas,
where they separated, and Porter returned to N.
•York. K
The trial occupied the whole day, and at about
half past 9 o’clock the Jury, after an absence of an
hour, returned into Court with a verdict of
Guilty.
