therewith communicated, show-!
cJ that there was no danger of
loss to the United States.
The evidence now offered
and received, tends to show
that there is a probability of fi
nal loss from this Bank; but in
other respects there is no new
view of the case presented.
The debt due to the Govern
ment from the Bank of Vincen
ts, has also been brought for-
I 1 . 1 .1 l . r-
wara, anu maue tne subject ol
inquiry and proof. Nothing
distinguishing this case from
those of other Western Banks
in which the public money had
been deposited, and in regard to
which loss had happened, or
was expected, had attracted the
attention of the Committee, as
important to be considered, at
the time of their former Re
port. The case of this Bank had
been previously made the sub
ject of a Report to the House by
ihe Secretary, on the 21st of
February, 1823, in answer to a
resolution passed on the 3 1st of
January preceding, in which a
statement of the debt, and the
means which had been taken
and used to secure it, were laid
before Congress. The evi
dence now taken, relates prin
cipally, as in the preceding case,
to the amount of the loss which
may be expected to be incurred.
The only remaining charge
which may be regarded as not
before examined, is an allega
tion, or intimation, that, owing
to the fault of the Secretary, the
pensioners and public creditors
of the government in East Ten
nessee, were, in some instances,
paid in bank paper not equiva
lent to specie.
The circumstances attending
this transaction seem to be ful
lv stated in the testimony of
Hu-h L. White. It does not
appear that any knowledge of
these payments having been
made in depreciated paper was
unanimous concurrence of the;
members present. Other points
there arc, of less importance.
but which may, nevertheless,
be supposed not to have esca
ped consideration by the Com
mittee. These, however, un
der all the circumstances, they
have thought it proper to leave,
without observation, in the
light in which they are placed
by the evidence.
Washington, J une 24. We
published yesterday the report
ed resignation of Mr. Edwards
of his appointment as Minister
to Mexico. We are now able
to state, with more certainty,
that such is the fact. Mr. Ed
wards communicated his resig
nation immediately after the
Report of the Investigating
Committee was sent to the Pre-
sident, and before the President
had time to read the report and
evidence through. Nat. Int.
Resignation. -Mr. Edwards
it is reported, has transmitted
his resignation, as Minister to
Mexico, to the President; be
lieving it to be a duty he owes
to himself and friends to remain
in the country in order to de
fend himself, should circum
stances render it necessary.

From the Raleigh Reg. June 25.
Supreme Court. The sum

menced on Monday last. All
the judges are present.

men having passed approved
examinations, were licensed to

Benjamin F. Haywood, Raleigh,

lor tne reasonable provision ot
a proper fund at the place of
disbursement, were, as far as the
Committee can judge, suitable
and judicious, lie had a right
to expect the payments to be
made in specie, or its equiva
lent; or, at least, to be inform
ed if any thing should happen
to prevent such payment. No
information was given to him of
any disappointment of his ex
pectation in this respect, by
those whose duty it was to pay;
and no complaint appears to
have been preferred by those
whose right it was to receive.
In regard to the contested
letter of Benjamin Stephenson,
of the 12th of October, 1819,
the Committee see no cause to
change the opinion which was
entertained, and which they in
tended to express in their for
mer report that, although the
letter was written, as stated by
Mr. Edwards in his testimony,
that there was no evidence that
."Mr. Stephenson communicated
or transmitted it to the Secreta
ry of the Treasury.
The Committee do not deem
it necessary to extend their Re
port, by protracted observa
tions on the various parts of the
'-vidence, as the whole is sub
mitted to the House. They
content themselves with saying,
hit, in their opinion, nothing
nas been proved to impeach the
integrity of the Secretary, or to
bring into doubt the general
correctness and ability of his
administration of the public fi
nances. To this noint. as the
the day."
Hillsboro June 23. On
Friday last, a black man bv the
name of Robert Archer, went
to the house of Jacob Trollin-
ger, near Haw river bridsre. in
this county, from which he took
a gun, and after compelling a
DiacK woman, the only person
aboit the house, to give him
aumu aijuus, iook a station in
the barn, and when Mr. Trol-
linger was passing by towards
the house, Iired at him, but for
tunately missed his aim. Mr
Trollinger pursued after him
but upon coming up with him,
was knocked down with the
breech of the gun, which was
broken with the blow. The
black fellow then made his es
cape. He came from Guilford
county, and has been in Mr
Trollinger's neighborhood three
or four months: it is said he was
raised in the settlement about
same time to ridicule the credu
lity of avarice. It abounds in
allusions to the hobbies of the
times; and particularly in rela
tion to the practice of treating
at the polls, and in regard to the
depreciation of our currency it
has some good points.

dence was so direct that at firs

guilt. It turned, out, however
in the course of the investijra
tion, that the prisoner, who had
never borne any other name
than John Butler, had been mis
taken for a person named Hen
ry Chase, the actual thief, whose
resemblance to the prisoner was
so great, that it was difficult to
distinguish them apart. They
had both a scar of the same
kind, and on the same part of
the face, and in most other re
spects were like each other.
The character of the prisoner
was proved to be good, while
that of Chase was shown to be
extremely bad. The jury with
