tHoufai.d two hundred ninety-two, dollars and seventy c«M«, which were fubjeft to be applied to any objed, agreeably to the discretion of the commander in chief of the expedition, and might have been applied ; if he thought proper, to the payment of the difeharged levies, and would have been fuf&cieiit for two months pay to the ofLcers, aud four months pay to the privates. This sum is admitted by the to have been in his hands, at the time of the discharge of tl*e levies, and would have been ap plied to their pay, if orders had been given by the commandei in chief of the expedition, for that purpose. Bui that no fiich 01 deis ever were received by him. The Secretary at War inieis» from theie circumllanccs, that no censure lliould be imputed to the war department, tor not having paid implicit attention'to this sub- j ei^- The circumstances tefpectiiigthis tranl a&ion have been attentively examined oy the committee, and appear to them to be the following : The quaiter-maller gene ral, upon his leaving Philadelphia, was fiiinifhtd with the of twenty thou laod dollars, for the use of that depart ment. He was afterwards furnilhcd with two other sums, to wit : the sum of seven teen thousand eight bundled and forty four dollars and tifty cents, on the twenty third day of July, and the sum of two thousand, two hundred and twenty-four dollars and sixty cents, on the seventh day of July, making together, the ium of twenty thousand and sixty-nine dollars and ten cents. It appears by letter from the Secretary at War, to the commander in chief of the expedition, that live thou iand dollars of this sum were to be applied to the pay of the tegular troops, it the commander in chief Ihould deem that a proper application of the money, which, however was not done. The remaining part of this money was intended tu term a kind of military chest, to anfwet con tingent cxpences ; subject however to the controul of the commander in chief. It appears that the quatter-mafter general, in addition toihufe supplies ofcafh, was authorized to draw bills on the Secretary at War, with this reftrittion that the commander in chief (hi uld approve of all draughts, and certify the neceffi'.y or pro priety of making them. The quarter mailer general commenced his draughts at Fort Pitt, previouily to his arrival at head quarters, to the amount of two thou sand liy. hundred dollars, and continued them after his artival ; but it does not appear that thofc draughts were certified, 01 Unftiontd by the commander in chief: all which draughts were honored by the Secretary at War. It is suggested by the commander in chief, that he pever coi.hdered the money, hefore-mentroned,appropriated to the pay of the levies, upon their difbhargts, nor, that it was ever intended to be applied to that objedl- He further fuggelts a want of knowledge of the money, laid to be on hand, at the time of the dilcharges of the levies, although he admits, that the quar ter-maller-general, (hortly after his arrival at head quarters, tendered him a statement of the calh on hand, whith he returned, without examination, observing, that he had already received fufficient informati on relatively thereto, from the Secretary at War ; that he was informed of the a- monies originally received by the quarter-master-general, and conceived that he could form some idea of the ba lance on hand, from the sums disbursed in confequencw of warrants drawn by him, which, he expected, were paid from that fund—that has want of information, as to the real balance, arose from the cir cumstance of the bills drawn by the quar termailer general, without his knowledge, or the requisite certificate Irorn him, which bills operated, as a relief to that fund, for their amount.—The commander in chief of the expedition further suggest ed, to the committee, in presence of the quarter - mailer - general, that, upon making draughts upon the fund before alluded to, he usually enquired of the quarter-master-general, whether it was fufficient for the jiurpofe of answering the draught, and upon repeating this en quiry, just before the discharge of the levies, he received for answer, •' that the chest was very low." This statement was acquiesced in, orat.leaft, not denied by the quaiCsrrinafter-gentrah The quaster-msfttr-generalhas furniflr cd the committee with a statement of his account, by which it appears, that he Lad on hand, or. the fifth day of Novem ber, one thousand fcven hundred *nd nine ty one, ca(h, to the amount of fifteen thousand nine hundred and twelve dollars, and forty-two cents, and two thirds of a cent, which, he fuggells, have been since applied to the use of his department.— This balance is denied to have been on hand, by the commander in chief, at that time : and he has furnilhed a llatement of dilburfements from the original fund } which leaves the amount of the balance, at the time of the discharge of the levies of one thousand four hundred eighty tiiree dollars eighty-fix cepts, exclusive of five thousand dollais. appropriated to the j of the old troopn. The commander in chief further sug gests, that there was no paymaster to the army, liorany person authorised to lettk the accounts of the soldiers and afcertaiu the real balances due to them> until the arriyal of Mr. Swann, on the thiid day of January, on thousand seven hundred I and ninety two ; >and insets, that he had no authority to dire£t a fettlcment and or der pay to the foliiiers, until he was in fo. med of the arrangements made at the j war'office, relatively to that object. This fuggellion is llrongly confirmed by a let ter from the fecittary at war, addrefled to the commander in chief, and forward ed by Mr. Swann, which designates Mr. Swann as paymaltei, and contains instruc tions relatively to the terms of fettling the accounts of the soldiery. The fame let ter feiv'ei td (hew, that the twenty thou sand and fixity nine dollars, and.ten cents, put into the pofeffion of the quai ter maiter general, were not conclusively dettined for the pay of the levies, nor so consider ed by the secretary at war. Ikcaufe it is affertcd in the lettef, that Mr. Swann is furnilhed with a sum of money fumcient for the whole pay of the levies, without makiii"" any deduction in confequenee of the monies futmfhed the quarter mailer general. It is alferted by the Secretary at War, in his communication to the committee, that the time of the feivice of the levies did not expire until after the arrival of Mr. Swann at Fort Walhington, particularly Gaither's and Rhea's battalions, the term in their inlillments having been, to serve fix months aftertheir arrival at Fort Walh ington ; which was deemed at the place of rendezvous. The time which had e lapsed from tile period of inlillmeuts to their arrival at Foit Walhington, or the evident impropriety of annexing such a condition to the enlistments, caused the condition itfelf to be dispensed with, and those levieswere adually difenarged (hort iy after the twelfth of November, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-one, in consequence of having served fix months, which is the extent of the service authorized by law, and actually received certificates at that time, of having per formed fix months service. Upon a re-examination of the residue of the original report, and the evidence now before the committee, they are fa tisfied with the fame, and find no mate rial alterations 0.1 correttions necefiary. A regard for candor has induced the • • r committe to adopt this mode of leport ' ing ; because the original' repoit is there by preserved, mistakes exilting in the fame, and which are now corrected, and the causes of those mistakes rendered ob vious, and the whole fubjeft presented to view, upon the fairelt terms, in ttie opin ion of the committe, to all persons in a ny degree coucerened therein.
