Mr VINTON, from the select commineo f House of Kforeseiitiilivex. nntioiutcd tbe to investigate certain charges made by the Hon. Lhniies J I ugersoll against the Hon. Daniel Websler, lor official misconducl uhilo he held the office- of Secretary f Slate of the United States, made tho fol lowing repott : Thai Ihey have given to the subject referred to them a patient and laborious tuveitigaiioii, and have collected a large mass f testimony, the result if which oulv, without going into its details, they deem it necessary to present (o the UoiiMe. The committed; in the first place, directed their attention to the first charge agninM Mr Webster : thtft,- without the knowledge of the Piesident of the United Slates, aud contrary to usage, he had lakeu out of the hands of the ordinary disbursing agent, and iuto his own, a portion of thai pari of the foreign intercourse fund, corrfcrfoa ly known as the ' secret service fund," and appropriated it lo his own u-e. The com mittee hnd that, by law, this fund is comimt- i'd lo Ihe exclusive control of the President of the United Slates, who may, if he thinks proper, keep the money himself, and disburse it from his own hands, or he may commit the keeping and di.-buisement of ii lo Mich agent or agents, under his direction, as Ur. may deem it expedient lo appoint. In con sequence, as Ihe committee presume, of ihe many and important duties which necessarily occupy Ihe whole lime and attention of the President of the United Stales, so as lo ten der it very troublesome aud difficult for him in petson lo keep and disburse this fund, and make up its accounts, he has always, from the flist establishment of ihe government, en trusted the dUchaigo of these duties lo other hands. As the Secretary of Stale of ihe United Slates is peculiarly the ciiifideuli.il adviser of the Prcsideut, in whatever con cerns the foreign relations of the country, he would seem to be the natural and appropriate agent for the dtscha'ge of these duties il hi could perform ihein without detriment to oth er public business of higher importance. Ac cordingly, the committee find that in the ad ministrations of CJeneriil Washington, the elder Adams, and pait of that of Mr JefTci nOU, while the officer of Secretary of Sia'e was held in succession by Messrs. Jay, Jefferson, Kandolpb, Pickering, Marshall, and part -f me lime inai :ur inauisou neiu mat onice under Air Jefferson, the whole of ill is fund wa', under the direction and supervision of the President of the United Stutes, received, kept, and disbursed by Ihe Secretary of State. In the early part of Mr Jefferson's administration the Secretary of Stale, without any law requiring it, seems to have been re ceived from Ihe di.charge of this duty, and the kecprug and disbursing of this fund under the President's direction appears to have been passed over into tbe hands of agents whose accounts, alter receiving ihe sanction of the President, are settled at Ihe Treasury. Hut uo change has been made in the law, or in the powers, or duties of ihe Piesident in re spect to thiVfund from the lime of General Washington (o the present day. This hange mul have been made for the convenience of ihe Secretary of Slate, and not from any wont of confidence which Mr Jefferson had m Mr Madison. The committee have examined Mr Tyler, ihe late President of the United States'. He testified that when he came info the Picsi dency, he fouud ihe foreign relations of the country iu a very delicate condition, in cer tain particulars, which 1ft'.; committee do nol deem il expedient lo specify, requiring, in his opinion, the employment of confidential agents - and, and lor icasous assigned by him to Ihe committee, he reg-uded his Secre tary of State as the fittest person to select and employ them. Under an impressiou enter tained both by him aud Mr Webster, that ihia was the usual aud proper mode, he sug gested that the money should be disbursed by Mr Webster',' and for that purpose placed iu his hands a portion of ib: foreign it f -rcourse fund, which was thn l)ing iu deposit with Mr Sfubbs, the o dinary disbursing agent. This bad not been done before for a long time. A knowledge of the modern usage in respect to the keeping aud disbursing this hiudit is dot improbable, led Mr Ingers l into the erroneous belief that this money bad come improperly, and without tbe President's sanction, at M'r Webster's instance, into bis hhna-4. Bui there cau be no doubt that the President had amphe authoiity to commit to his secretary the keeping and dr-baislug f this money, nui h-tt he alone had a right to judge of if eXpedteucy. The committee find, fr 6m the testimony, thai all the m.uey put into his hands was place4nce w,'n ,be. knowledge and sarrctiou aud by tHe order of the Piesident,- and so much of i as was oe- Was disbursed in accoroance A balance, not neeoeo was allerwaius re- that, unexplained, might justly lead to Ihe im pression that he ( Mr Smith ) had used the money of the government in that Way. Tfe committee have fully investigated ibis charge. They do ut deem it necessary, or expedi ent, lo go into a specification of tbe acts of ibis agent, who was employed in a secret service, or lo inquire iuto tbe propriety of employing agents for secret service within the limits of the UuHcd States, aud paying them out of the contingent fund for foreign intercourse; but will content themselves with si.nply remarking that the tectimouy they have taken fully explains whatever is of ob-, scure or douhffuf meaning fn rflfs. fet'er, and removes every foundation for a belief, or ever a suspicion, 'hat the public money was ined or attempted lo boused, to corrupt tho party presses; This brings Ihe committee lo the thiid aud last charge ; that when Mr Webster went out of offjre he was a public defaulter. From an examination of his accounts,' it appears that when he retired from office, there was of thu moneys lhat had been intrusted lo him, an appearaut balance of $2,290 in his hands a staled by Mr lugersoll. Tile ex penditure ol ibis sum lemaiucd to be account ed for by hi'tn. Tlieie seems to have been delay To procuring vouches from the agents whom Mr Webster had employed, for the mo ueys advanced' by him to them. For n pay -. trie nt' of ri'ihousHniT dollars which he claimed to have made out of ihe fund iu his hands,' ho alleged the voucher bad beeu lost, mislaid, or not procured, aud ii has not yet been found or obtained, though cfioita were made by him to dud or procure it. These causes occasioned a delay in ihe settlement 61' his ffecouuts for" some eighteen or twenty nVo'u'fh'sV . In ihe autumn of 1844, the period, having ai rived when it was necessary for Mr olubb lo close his accoti'nfs a the Ireu'suryy and Mr Websler not having then procured the neces sary vouchers, he pioposed In pay the appa rent balance against him, with the under standing that tbe government should refuud lo him, if he subsequently procured the evi dence of hi- nnyineuts. This proposition, which proceeded liom Mr Webster, was uc ceetLnl to by (he Piesident of tWe U.' States. Iu tbe m n b of Novell ber of that year, Mr Webster procured a voucher for a pay the ut of $200, and paid iu cash $2,090, the lesidue of ihe apparent balance in his hands. This mouey was le-nilled by him iu pait from Bos ton, and iu part from Philadelphia. In the following w iutor, he visited Washington, and on llie Jsl of Febru rrv. 1845. nresenif)' - i (- i .hers for pnymeuls made by hl'in, while' vouci iu cessary his views. ...... .r- ..n0innlited turned by Mr Web,ter lo Mr Siubbs, the dM bursing agent, witb whom the test, nouy shows ihere i dually on deposit a larger amount of mouey than is required to meet present de mands. Witti these rerna k?, the' committee dismiss this, aud proceed to notice the becond charge. In that charge Mr Ingersbll accuses Mr Webster with using the public money lo cor rupt the parly presses. Among ibe agents employed by Mr Websler, under tbe autdori ty of ihe President, as above explained, was Mr Francis O. J; Smith, of the State of Maine. There is 4u the Department of State, among the" papers relating to the secret service fund, a letter from that gentleman to Mr Websler, which ccutains an expression, ffir-e, aud not before credited to him, to Ibe amount of 1,050 which tbe President of Ihe Uuited Stales di ecled lo be refunded. aud thai amount was then repaid lo him.- Mr Webster was u ged by Mr Stubbs to col- I'hM, and transmit his Hccoti'uts oiid' vouchers that h Mr Stubbs might close bis accounts with die l-easuiy, but the committee find no' evidence ol any threst of exj o'sure having beeu made by ihe President, which ruducc-cf the pa)incul of ihl appaieut balauco against him. I fit be assumed thai' Mr Webster was cor rect iu his impressiou thai he had paid' the above meti'.ioucd thousand dollars out of the fund in his hands, and if to this amount'.' bo added ihe vouchers for $1,25$) procured' by him after his retirement fiorn ofnee, rniiRitig together $2,250, aud this last amovi'nt be de ducted from $2,290, the apparent balance against him, it will show thn the real balance iu his hands when ha went out of office was $ 10 only. On review" fug- his accounts, iho ket ping of which was for the most part in trusted by him to Mr Stubbs, tbe disbursing age ut, the committee have beeu lid to doul t whether on the final settlement an item of $5U0 was not' by' mistake Canied id' bis cred it, which hall been before allowed him. This error was pointed out to the committee by the disbursing ageut, by whom Ibe occoimf was drawn up aud 'he settlement madjd. lio proves lhat it wad at his own suggestion, and not at lhat of Mr Webster, that this item was carried to his crcd.t in Ihe final settlement. Il is uol necessary to go into Ihe particufarif of the history of this ilem,'aod of the cause of Ihe mistake, if one was made. The com mittee deem il sufficient lo remark, that" no blame is imputable lo Mr Websler, who, they are sati-tied, was dot aware, and probably is not now, that this item had been b foro crccT iled to him ; nor is the disbursing-ageut, who drew up ihe items of the final settlement, lia ble to the charge of negligeude. If it bo assumed thai ini item was twice allowed Iu' him, and that ihe fiual settlement was iu all oth r rt -spec-is correct, men, iu it fundi tig to Mr Web.ier, be should have been repaid $j5J ouiy, iiisteuu oi B1.U50. But if Mr Webster was not mistaken iu ibe belief that' he had paid ibe $1,000 above mentioned, iheu ihe governiiteul still owes him $500. 1 be committee tfeem any comment on the above facts connected with this charge unne cessary. In their opinion, there is nd'nioof in tt'l iltoo to any of the charges to impeach' Mr Webster's integrity or the purity of his motives in ttie di-?harge of the duties of bis office. Tbe value of ibis ooiuion is. oer- S f traps, to some extent, enhanced bv the fact, lhat iu their investigation' the committee.' iu' observance of tho usage in similar caaai. have taken the testimony without' notice to him, in'hh abaVnce, without communication witb him, or explanation from birr. In con clusion, they bog permission to remark that their investigation has" b: ought out tacts" (which are embodied iu the testimony) con nected wiA the foreign rebitious of ihe couu by, the daolosure of which public policy wouli seem to forbid. On thi subject they .ent'nely concur with the President of the U,
