TH E Committee confiftiing of Mr. Dane, Mr. Williamson, Mr. Irvine, Mr Hamilton, and Mr. Blown, to whom was re jferred a Motion of Mr. Dane, relative to Jpublic and unsettled accounts, having report ed, That, on carefully examining the fubjef referred to them, they find that during the j late war, and efpecialiy in the early period- ■ jf it, many millions of dollars were advanced by the United States to sundry persons, of tht expenditures whereof proper accounts havcj riot been rendered ; and though the person who have been entrufled with public monies iave been frequently called upon to fettle heir accounts by the ads and officers of L’ongrefs, yet in many cases they have not produced or exhibited to the proper officers my documents or vouchers on which regulai ettlements can be, made.—That several ac counts of very considerable extent have been . r aken up, and so far palled on, that balance? tppear to be Hated generally, and in some cases payments made though it does not ap- < pear that the proper flatements were made ol \ the articles which composed thole accounts,J or that the regular vouchers were produced to' support the charges in them. Accounts thus imperfectly Hated and mifupported, the com mittee conceive are juflly liable to revition; and particularly so, as it does not appear that .he parties have at any time considered them as being finally fettled. —That from a general view of this iufcyed, the Committee are in duced to think and believe, that the United crates have already fuffered very great incon*- veniencies, by inexcusable negligence and unauthorifed delays, in peifons entrufled with public monies, in not rendering and fe tling heir accounts; and that it is become highly expedient, that decifiv-e measures be speedily adopted for clofin*f%ll the unsettled accounts of the late war—and therefore the Committee are cf opinion, That the Board' of Treasury be direfted, to caufefuits to be commenced,! in behalf of the United States, againtt all per-) Tons who Hand charged with public monies or other property ; and that they cause the fame to be commenced Within three months? from this date, against all those persons who! have been already specially required to fettle their accounts by the proper officers, and who’ ihall not within that time adopt and' pursue measures effectual, in the opinion of the said! Board, for fettling the fame ; and within five months from this date, against all other per sons so charged, and who ftiall not within that time adopt and pursue like measures: and, that when any material questions ihall arise concerning any doubtful or partial fcttle ments of accounts which may have been made, or concerning the operation of any particular suits, the said Board be diretfed to state to Congress, particularly tbe circum ' stances of the case, with their opinion there on.' i Rffcfo-cJ, That Congress agree to the said Report. • CHARLES THOMSON, Secy.
