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. The form (B) at toot he eof, ot a letter of attor
ney for receiving interest, and the directions therewith, it is ex
pected will be carefully pursued.
