A paper, In n to the communication heretofoie rtrciv ed bj the Committee Tom the Secretary, and another in he nature of an armimeni on the whole cue, hive also been preset, ttd by Mr. Ldwards, and considered by tbe Commiitre. The evidence has run into muh de tall, and some parts of it, pmhubly, have not a very material application to the main subject of the inquiry. It seemer" nroner. however, to the Committee, u allow to those concerned a liberal indul gence in this respect. After a patient attention to all the evi dence, and to whatever hat been uiRed in the way of reasoning on the case, the Committee see no cause lo change or modify, in any material respect, the re sults to which they came on the former investitrauon, and which they have al-ea dv submitted to the House. On tbe con trary, they find, in this further and fuller examination, a corrooorarton, generauy- spiking, of the opinions which the) Lave heretofore expressed.

I he CM.Ir reniainlng charge wbich ma be regarded as not before examined, is an allegation, or intimattoo, tbat, owing to the Lult of the Secretary, tbe pension ers and public creditors of tbe govern mem in Lat I enncssce, were, in some in.uoces, paid in bank paper not ccjuiva icni io aoriie f be circumstance! am tiding this trans aiiiiri, seem few be luily staled io the lea timony of Hugh L While. Il does not appear that any knowledge ol these payments having been made in de preciated paper, was communicated lo the Secretary. The measurea adopted by him tor the reasonable provision ol a proper fund st the place ol disbursement, were, s far the Committee cab juae, suitable nd juiiicious. He had a rignt to expect Ibt pa) itienltobe luauein specie, or itsequiv Itiil ; or at leat lo be informed if any thing abould happen to prevent such pay mriu. No iiilorioaiion was given to him ol any disuppoiuiuicnt of his expectation in lias respect, by those whose duty it s to pay i and uo complaint appears to have been preferred by Most wftoat rrgni it was to icceive. In ri'ard to the contested letter of r Iliujjmiu Mepurnion, of tbe 12th of October, 18 li), tne t.omtnittee see no caUat to change the opinion which was cii riuiiieu, and which they intended to ixv'-ss in tin ir former report, that al iiiai"jt, tre letiei was wrillen, al Hited by Mr Liiw.'ro in his testimony, there was noeviiln.ee t .at Mr. Stepneaaon com luunuattd or irnsiniucd it to tbe Secre tary ot thr I -eaaury. 1 be t onimiwce uo not deem it neces aary io extend their report by protracted observations on the various parts of the evidence, as the whole is submitted to the HousThTrconTehriTiernielveiw iih svitiK.that, in their opinion, nothing has been proved to impeach the integrity of tha Secretary, or to hrirttf into doubt Ihe general correctness and abilits of bis ad ministration of the public finances. To this point, as tbe main object of in quiry, tbe chief attention of the commit tee has been directed; and they have rome to the reult which haa now been stated, with the unanimous concurrence ol the members present. Other points there are, of less impor tance, but which may, nevertneiess, do supposed itol to have. escaped considera tion by the Committee- i hese, however, under all the circum starxea, they have thought it proper to leave without observation, in the light in which they are placed by the evidence.
