Sir—Wo had tits honor to Receive yourilel- KT of the 3,i instant directing its to examine nud report upon tint Expense account of the Hank of the United States, for the lust two years. Those of ns to whom it was addressed, requested the attendance of our colleague,'Mr. M’Elderry, to assist us in the examination. On his arrival, we proceeded to invcstigale tfio various charges, and to look into such • of the vouchers on which they were founded, as we had time and opportunity to do. These are so numerous, and embrace so many small items of various kinds, that a full'view of them can only Le given to yon,‘by transmitting copies, made by some person authorized or requested hj yon or the Secretary of the Treasury^— Tito time and labor necessary for this;modo, wo aid have, prevented our resorting to.it at present, even had you authorized us to do so, tor we have believed it would be more consist ent with your wishes, that we shpuld at once report the resulrof our own labors, leaving you to decide, after'you shall have .bcen.Tnrule acquainted with them. wliether such a more uilaulc statement of the Exjkt.’sc Account' be ’ ec insite. We may add,'too, that finding the pm id - of many expenditures yre\fi to be ; • tie kit Board, Smith's atid Mr. M’Duffie’s reports, and Mr. Gallatin’s 'pamphlet; -hut the ..rest, stated .'Ondrany.that it was made-, under- the rcsolu- ion of 11 th March, 1831. -There were also numerous bills and receipts for expenditures to individuals, among them of Gales Seaton, .$1,300 for distributing Mr.- Galkrtln’s-pamph- let; of William Fry for Garden As Thompsoi;,- $1,675 75 for 5,0.00 copies of General Smith’s and JMr. M’Dufiie’s reports,-&c.; of Jesse Harding, $410 for 11,000 extra papers; of the American Sentinel.$125 74 fur printing, fold- ine, packingWcL postage* on 3,000 extras'; o'f William-Fry, $1,830 -27 for upwards of50,000 copies t.l the National Gazette, r .. ! supplt- ments 'containing addresses to members of the State Legislatures, review of Mr..

A|j expenditures 'of this kind, introduced into the Expense Account, and discovered by us, wc found to be, so far as regards the institution in this city, embraced under the head of Stationary and Printing. To it, therefore, we chiefly directed our inquiries and an examination off hat item of the account, tor the last three years, undoubtedly presents Circumstances which, in our opinion, fully war rant the belief \ oil have-been led to entertain. The Expense Account is .made up at the end of evi-rv six months, and submitted vhb the vouchers to the Dividend Committee, for examination. Commencing with the last six months of tbe war 1829, we find that the sum paid for Stationary and Printing amounted to $3,765 94, which \\e presume to ho the neces sary expense of the institution, under this item, w hen no extraordinary, disbursements are made. During the year 1*50, tho expenditures- in- creasod to $7,131 27 during the first, and 6,950 20 (hiring the last balf year, and.enij-ies are made in both, of Live sums, m dd-.-> together jihoni 7,000, paid for printing and distributing Mr. M’Duffie’s report raid Mr. Gallatin’s pamph let. These seem to he the commencement of a system of expenditure which was .the next year, immi ns, Iy increased., and received the sanction of the Iloaul, ns appears by the cn- tri s »n the minutes, and t wo resolutions'passed at the close of this year and in the succeeding spring. On the 30th November, 1S30, if is.slatcd in the minutes, that “the President submitted to tiie Board a copy of an anicle.'on Banks and Currency, just published in the Anierican Quar terly Itovie W, of this city, containing a favora- lilc notice of this.institution,and suggested the expediency <,f making the. views of the author more extensively kn-.wn to the' public, than firsy can be by means of the sul-scription list— wlvfetipon it was, .m motion, ltesulved, TJia.t the President be nuth'driicil take such meas ures, iit n gard to the circulation of the con tents of the said article, either ill whole-or-'ill part, ns bo may doom most for the interest qf tiie Bank. On the lltb .March, 1831, it again appears, by the minutes, tint “the President Stated to the Board, that in consequence’of the general desire expressed by the Directors, at one of their meetings of the last year, subse quent to the adjourumnt of Congress, and a verbal understanding with the Board, meas ures had been taken by him in the course of that year for furnishing numerous copies of ilie reports of Gen.
