Yesterday the tvtvirt on the ch«ri»c. ut Kd
War's against the Secretary of the Treasury wa3
ni.de by Mr. Livingston in the Bouse uf Uepre
lent stive* which was not flualW d'ispose'i of, nor is
km) to this time (I o'cloclyV M ) decided on.
A warm debate is now gobrg on which is likely to
Oni.t'mue to a late hour The report, however,
♦i t be adopted maugreall-upp-uhion, which will

THE REFORT.
" The select committee of yhe House of R-pre-
Set a'ivis, to whom was r, /erred tbe memorial o<
Mr. tvlwards, impeaching (he i.lRcial conduct o*
Mr,. Crawford, lia* made * report entirely exhon
0: ini; him. The repot* is sufficiently condo
s'. (i»y, the National Intclligenctr,) though,
fr- 'Vi a ti yard to the digijty of the house, it pro
h:, y docs not bestow, upon charges which it de
Clares to be unfounded, the decided rep-obitio».
which they merit. Considering the character ot
the committee, however, and the unanimity of
tl.mr report, it must have a decisive effect. The
foiuwingjare the heads of the report of the com
nn'**jo:-» .
First, That the evidence referred to. ndexu
(hi m, dyes not support the charge of having
mi ..managed the public funds.
Second, That the uncurrent notes, mentioned
in 'he second charge, appear, by evidence satis.
ftc t ory to the committee, to have been received
end deposited by th- Public Receivers, at a time
wl.'O they were receivable under the resolutioi
of Congress of 1816; tdat, in the principal case t
th ,<>f the Bank of Missouri* the Bank did nut
Hi n - itself responsible for such notes as cash,and
th refore, the Secretary was bound to receive
ti - m from the Bankftbxt, although the banks ol
Tombeckbe and Edwardsville were liable to sc
count for such deposited, a« cash, if the construe
tlonr w.ich the committee gives to their contracts
bi. correct, yet that both the Secretary and the
bi>nks expressed a difftj^nt opinion as to the
lb wing of those contract^ and that the Secreta
ry in receiving glS.OOOIrom the one, and £20,000
fro the other of those banks, appears to have
♦ ! according to what be supposed to be the
ri. i*a of the parti, s, and with a proper regard to
th hi'erest of the United States, Under the cir
ci .-.lances which then existed.
't hird, That no internal misstatement hat been
nv ..0 to the House of the amount of «ncurrent
b' eceived from the banks, although a sum of
jf 0 .if such bills was omitted through mistake.
>. urth, That, although the Secretary may have
tt>’ strued the effect of some of the contracts
wt . :.e banks to the extent before mentioned,
the committee find no grounds for the charge
th .t he has misrepresented them, inasmuch as the
Conti acts themselves were submitted with hisre-
p .rr to the House.
Vif h, Tbf.l the Secretary did omil to commum.
pate to Congress the reasons which led him to di.
rc t the deposite of public monies in the three
lcca! banks of Chiliicothe, Cincinnati and Louifc-
vif., where the bank of the United States bad
Branches; but there is no reason for supposing
that any concealment was intended, or that the
emission was occasioned by design.
8ixtb, That, in some instances, papers, called
for by resolutions of the House, have" not been
communicated with other papers sent in answer
to such calls, but that these omissions have h.sp.
pened either fiom accident, or from a belief that
the papers, so omitted, were immaterial, or not
called for # and that there is no evidence that any
document or information has been withheld from
improper motives.
Having already expressed the opinion that this
Investigation ought not to be terminated, until the
person pressing the charges shall have been ex.
ijmined, and regretting the circumstances which
fender such an examination impracticable,-during
IhV present session of Congress, and thinking that
Mr Edwards msy be expected at Washington
within a few days, the Committee frelit their du
t) to recommend to'the Hbuye that they be re
paired to sit,after the adjournment, for the ptir
pose ol taking his Examination, if an opportunity
tfli.tfl bt 4 presented.
We shall give the report in extenso to-morrow.
