TREASURY DEPARTMENT,] New-York, Sept. 28, 1790. J THE following regulations, which have been adopted towards carrying into execution the aCt, making provi(ion for the debt ot the United States, are announced for the information ot the public creditors. • WHEN a transfer is to be made from one person to another, the Certificate or certificates of the debt to be transferred, mull be pio riu cd at the proper office, in order that the fame may be can celled, and a new one, or new ones issue, as the cafe (hall require. When a transfer is desired from one office to appli cation mud in the firft instance be made at the office where the <JVedit exists, whereupon the certificate or certificates of the debt to be transferred will be cancelled, afict a special one granted, as a voucher to the Secretary of the Treasury ; upon the production and delivery ot which to him, a warrant will Hlue to the office, to which thf debt is to be transferred, where the business will be completed. The form (A) at foot heteof, has been adopted for letters of attorney, to make transfers, whlcn, and the directions for completing it, it is expcClcd will be carefully observed. In every cafc of a transfer of the fubferibed or funded debt, the new certificate will bear inured, only from the fir ft day ot the quarter, in which the transfer is made. The unpaid interest which may have accrued prior to that quarter, will be paid only to the person, who was ftockholdcr at the time it accrued, or to his spe cial aflignee. Fourteen days before the expiratiop of cach quarter, the books of cac!i office will heclofcd so that no transfers w'fl be made, nor, except at the Treasury, will any fubferipttons be received, or o!d certificate? exchanged for new ones, on the application ot non-fubferibers, during that period. Those intending to become fubferibers to the proposed Loan, who do not fubferibe, prior to the commencement of any such period—or those intending not to fubfefibe, who do not their old certificates to be exchang ed, or if holdeis of certificates of the Register ot the Treasury, who do not notify to theTreafurv their intention not to fubferibe, prior to such commencement of such period, will not receive the i ntereft, which may have accrued antecedently, 'till the evd of the quarter in which their fubferiptions arc made, or in which their certificates areexchang d,or in which they ftiall lo notify their in tention not to fubferibe. This, the proper distribution of the funds, and the preservation of order render iod if pen Cable. On the fubferibed or funded debt, interest as it becomes due, will be paid without production of the certificates ilfued for the fame. On the unfubfcribed debt, if any there (hall be, the pro duction of the certificates will be nectffary, in order to the receipt of the interest, and an indorsement of the payment of it upon the certificates. This however, in consideration of the rifle and incon venicnce of tranfiniflion, will not be required of those who hold certificates of tlic Register of the Treasury, and reside out of the United States.
