These expcr.ses were incurred at Paris,
at the ery time when Mr.'Adams is sup
posed, in a previous and subsequent item
of the account, to be travelling back to
St. Petersburg; but the tfarra o these
items are carefully omitted in the report
to Congress. Had they been cjtren, it
latin, had charged and received 1,566
dollars 54 cents each, for the expenses of
their , journey from St. Petersburg to
Ghent, and he. lujrthwuh puts tn a further
claim Ait an ecjual alluwance! fot his fire -tended
journey, in order to cover his fam
ily's travelling expenses! 1 his also is
allowed, deducting the previous "allow
mire ! Mirk the false reasons given for
this additional allowance 1 It is said Mr
Adam's journey from St.' Petersburg to
Ghent, was made chirhv bv water, " out
hi return mutt-ftare hern by land" avhen,
14-JUlKsft'eVr ITyjurwd- at all.. Il is
added, " and by the tame route at'thaVta
ken by Mert- Vutiatinpnd Ihyurd, and
equally erfientive." A mere pretext for
obtaining""679 dollars P8 cents more than
it had cost him, by his cAn account for
travelling over the same ground ! From
which it appears tbt the allowance ol
686 dollars 86 rents originally made un
der fjfse pretences, was afterwards en
laiged to 1566 dollars 54 cents, under ac
cumulated fictions ! Mc finally gets, un
der iictencc of a direct journey back to
St. Petersburg from Ghent, which he
never performed, as much as Mr. Bayard,
got for a circuitous journey from S. Pe
tersburg by Ghent to Loudon. How Mr.
Adams could descend to procure from the
public Treasury his family's travelling
exnenses, which he knew could not be
legally allowed, by filling Ihe records of
his country with Kro ana repeaiea mis
statements, I leave to his supporters to
explain !
When Mr Adams was appointed to aid
in negotiating the treaty of peace in April,
IHI3. the President sent out to him 813.
500; 4,500 dollars on account of his sal
arv as Minisier to Russia, and 9,000 do!
lars as an outfit for the peace mission
opinion, that the President had a right to
give the money, and .Mr. Adams to keep
it) in despite of the authority of Congress,
and without an appropriation, although
the Constitution says expressly, no mo
ney shall be drawn from the Treasury
but in consequence of appropriations made
by law," &c. . - .
Mr. Adams retained the money snd re
ceived the credit, although no appropris
tion has been made to this day. Thus it
was, that he realized an outfit of 9,000
dollars, when spent upon the peace mis
sion. The peace mission commenced
the 29:h of April, 1813, and ended the
27th of February, 1815, having continued
one year and ten months. Mr. Adams
was then appointed Minister to Great
Britain "d his mission commenced 21th
February. 1815. Upon this appointments
he claimed another outfit of 9,000 dollars.
The Government hesitated kt making tbV
jllowsDce. because there was i .ML of :
Congress s nkftldeclaredT1 ISEJtilBilJ
not be lawful in any case for the rresir .
dent to allow a Minister Plenipotentiary
SrChaeVAliattV
ted Siatei to any other foreign country t
salarv. It was -doubted whether any
outfit could" be lawfully allowed tons-Min-
ister who had been actually Jilted cut, and
was already in a foreign country, upon
transfer from one court to another. But it
was finally derided that this' law did not
bar an outfit in such a case, and Mr,
Adams received another 9.000 dollars on
being transferred from Ghent to London.
Thus did he receive, within two years.
two outfits of 9,000 dollars each, making
18,000 dollars.
It has been said, that during the Ghent
mission, Mr. Adams charged and received
a double salary ; viz. 9,000 dollara per
year as Minister to Ghent, and 9,000 dol
lars per yearns Minister to" Russia. rTht
document on which this charge is predi
cated know before me. It originated SB
follows r in-April II 22, the Housec of 'ESz
Representatives adopted a resolution talr
