Commissione» a.
lor Indian Affairs, which still remain in die Treasury,
amount to about a million more. IIow much of ibis
nm-be required f'» discharge arrearages is not now
known: though it is not supposed that the whole will
lie necessary for tlint purpose. It was never contem
plated l»v the Department to invent the amounts for
ilm interest of which the faith of the United States is
pledged by treaty. It is deemed safi-r to keep these
sums in the Treasury forever, and appropriate an-
mialiv the amount ol interest due thereon, to the
Severn/ trines. They me not, therefore considered as
a part of the arrearages.
The amounts due tor pensions itt the present month
and until September next, have ;d! been sent to the;
several pension
rents, so dint m
is due on that
account.
I limit diatcl v on the passage ot the act authorizing
dir i-sne of Treasury notes, 1 directed that ail i lie out
standing claims against the Department wlii< li were
ready for settlement, and for which appropriation^ bad
been made, should immediately be liquidated. AH
those fur work done on the fortifications and at the
initials and armories, have accordingly h-en provi
ded l«»r except only about sixty thousand dollars, die
payment of which has been delayed only because the
accounts have not been pn s ’litcd.
For the otlmr various objects entrusted to the De-
partmeut. tin* unpaid claims are estimated to amount
to not more than $200,000 which have not been paid j
r a similar reason.
According to the reports of the different disbursing \
w as briefly debated by the counsel on each side, w hich
tne Court decided by directing the counsel for the
prisoner to proceed. For the following condensed
report, we are indebted to the Tribune.
Mr. Bradlv, one of McLeod’s counsel, then read the
Siierifl’s remrn to the writ, stating that McLeod was
in his custody under die order of die Court of Over
and Terminer in March term, IS41 under an arraign
ment on an indictment ior murder; also, bv virtue of a
writ of at pins respondendum on the part of die People
for trespass and ail order for commitment, for enter
ing upon, damaging and destroying die steamboat
Caroline, laying the damages at $50,000 and order
ing him to be held to bail in the slim of $7,000.
He then read an affidavit made by McLeod, setting
forth the fact and purpose of the occupation of Navy
Bland; that the Caroline w as emplovi d in conveying
stores, ammunition, k.r. thereto; that by order of Col.
McNab, the authorized commander of the British
force, nil expedition for the capture and destruction of
that boat, was got up and carried into eflcct; that in
the capture and destruction of the boat, Amos DuiTee,
for whose murder the prisoner u inflicted, w as killed,
and not at anv other time or in any oilier manner;
that the act of taking and destroying the boat, was
subsequently approved and adopted by the British
Government—that the Government of the United
States had opened a diplomatic correspondence with
the British Government in relation to that act, in w hivh
reparation and redress therefor were demanded, ami
which correspondence is not yet closed; and finally,
that be, the prisoner, w as not present at or engaged
