Delinquency 'lis one of the great .charges . which thofe now in power are anxious to fix upon their predeceffors. They who acknowledge no other 'obliga tion: cannot refill the duty of at- emptingto give colour to the calum nies their partisans had circulated and which were the principal means of their elevation.

But the document (D.) which would alone fupport the allegation, is kept b-,tck from public examination.

I do not mean to be the advo cate of delinquency ; but merely to dilpel the oblcurity, witti which the report of the committee lias fur rounded transitions which have been conduced with fidelity, regu larity and fuccefs" Under the next head of inquiry madd by the Committee they Itate that the expenfes of infer courfe with foreign- nations were, " till lately, paid to the Secretary of State, who ufed to difburfe the fame.' r From Mr. Gallatin's letter it appears ' t hat, the Secretary, of State no longtr rtctiws manly ;' that the lums " required for ihs part of the public fervice, are paid immediately at the 1 realu ry to the agents of other individuals to whom they were former ly ad-. vahced by him, and thefe are at once charged and made accountable io tie irenun" That k thoft agents are principally' the purveyors of public fupplies at Philadelphia, and bankers in Lngland and Holland."

What confequences are expected from this deviation fr6m a practice commenced when Mr. JeffeHon vvas Secretary of State, and continued to the era of thepreient administration? fhe,only anfwer, Which can be given, involves a dilemma" which cannot recommend the n:w practice. a tner the requifnions of the Secreta ry ol State are imperative or they are tut. If they are hnpernnvri the Se cretary of State can deftzmrft the agent who is to be the receiver, and the fain to be advanced it. he is, moreover, competent to direct .the mode of-j- plin'ihf'mitny after the advance has been made if the ; Tiealury,- as ftiTiner' ly, are merely to judge whether there exifts an appropriation iy Aiw,and afterwards $-ihil the aceouits of the Secretary ot State ; then the ncrtr prac tice is a mere change of form with-. out any real object or effect, except that ot obliging the. officers ot the Treafury, to perform the duty ot CrTiFs "lie Department of State. On the Other hahd, if the Secretary of the I ream ry is xgi jiUfignate the agents, judge ot the expediency of making advances, or, in any manner, to direct thz jubequent 'application of ' the money to as tor.v- empt the Secret o State from repon(ibi litii then the Secretary of theTreaitu ry has indeed, acquired a nezv audh- lid addition: of pwer and influence in Jthe government, at the experife of a co-ordi-mte Department.
