Sub joined is a statement of these incident al expenses from the year 1790, prepared by a clerk, at tlie request ot the Committee, accompanied bv a veiw of the "contingent ecrpeise, and of the sums appropriated by law for the salaries of the officers of the Depart ment, which must not be confounded with the'incidenral expenses." lij this the senate will perceive that, from a sum less than two thousand ooUars,; these expenses, under former admin-i istrauons, gradually increased for ma- ny years; tnerefterng air average anno- al autlition ot about one tl thousand i dollars. In 1829 they had swelled to the sum of 856,471, exceeding the sum expended in any former year; Si in the year commencing July-1 - 1832, em bracing; the period of the last Presiden- 4ia-H-4iotH-4hy - auu nted ta ahuut P1 year.

What ever expenses he chooses to consider as incidtntal,x Uk his department, he pays; and the only account which he renders for it is confined to a line in his annual report, thus: The inci dental expenses for last year were 87,70t dollars."
