BEERS, in eomplisiice with your rftqued has delivered to rtie 'an extratl fm.rn the Albany Register, of the 15th «f last month, which contains the following erro neous statement of the expenees incurred by the United States, for rtegociatiug the Treaty with Great Britain ! "Mr. Jay,for his Dols* Qs. the Treaty, - » i8,«oo «o Tor his paflage to Europe, 3,7*8 51 To pay incidental expenees, to,o»o 06 To do. in negociating the tn-aty s,o<Sj6 bo To get papers of Captures," 16,01*2 83 ¥ — l S*»7»> 34 This fhtrment is not a new or.e, it ap peared in Gre»nleaf's paper in March '97. It is calculated, and was doubtless defigneel, to impress an opinion that the adn-.iniftratieji of Pfdident-WASHINGTON, was too prodi gal of the public money, in the negotiation ■vVit(i Great.Britain, and that I defivedextra vagant emoluments from it.. Calumny, in)' dear Sir, has been nn en gine of party, in all countries, and pirticular ~ly in EUctisc Gpv.ernmentlt is an evil which, originating in the corruption of hu man nature, is without reined*, and conse quently is to be borne patiently. The es teem of the wife and good is valuable, and to acquire and preserve it, is all that ambi tion ought to aim at. As to the Itatement question, you are desirous to* know ex'ttly how far it deviates from the truth ; and to gratify this desire, I will give you a concise and aecurate (late of the faclt. Being at Philadelphia on official business, in May, 1794. Prelident Washington desired me to go as ' Envoy, to Great Britain. I earrefHy endeavoured to fix his attention elsewhere ; but he persevered, and I found jt impoljiblc to reconcile it with my. duty to persist ift declining*th'e"appointment. Cir <um{lareed as I was, and aware of the na ture of-the business, of Hhe tempsr of the times, and of t,K«iuni»n of Certain interests a gainst any amicable settlement with GreaN JJritcyn, personal considerations opposed my ■undertaking the talk. When I finally yield ed to the President's request, I told him, that I declined any compenfotioii for my services —that my neceflary and attual expencct only ftould be paid, but that my flatrd salary as Chief Justice wufl be continued. A veflel in ballad was chartered to carry me to England, for you that *n Embargo was then in operation, but in eontrafting or paying for thi* vessel I had no agency. The Secretary of State gave me a Bill for 18,#00 dollars towards the expences of the mission, and for which, I was to account. All my exptPices of every kind as Envoy to ftreat-Britain, including the salary of my Secretary, the expense of my paflage home, and shttj'tireepounds iterhng paid in coun sel fees, refpetting capture-cases, amounted to the fuin of 12 000 dollars and 36 cents, which beiog drduSid from the before-men _ tioned 18,000 dollars, left in my hinds a eonfiderabfe balance due to the l/oited Stutet. This balance I accounted for and fettlod with the Treasury in the following manner, vi*. By cash advanced to an Ameri can gentleman in the service of the United States, and whose ac» count with the public was charg ed with it by the Treasury, By amount of my order on the Banker,in favor of Mr, Pinckney wha wis the American Minister at London, tr wards a fund for fcxptnees refpefting capture safes to be accounted for by him to the Treasury, By cash paid fcy uie to the treas.

But how is it poflifcle with p:opr ety to compare irie.n who are placed in situations do wife analagubs ? " Were wc allowed to venture an opin ion bn this fubjedt we would observe, that if H'a/hington was inferior to some other il lustrious men in extant and boldnefa of mind, lie furpafTed them by the union of qualifies and talents ;he molt rarely found together, and by a character almoll faultlefs. " C< nftitution, foul, afld intelleft, were in him inconstant harmony, and perfeflly adapted to his public career.

" At the head of ti « Republic, heprtfervefi the lame uprightntft and tho fame spirit of eondiic* by which he had been guided in battle. He was- indebted to the excellence of his judgment, as well as to the afena dency of his public and private virtues, for the permanence of the reputation he enjoy, ed. Nisfpceches, letters, anions, were al ways marked with the fame real'on, and that ftion'g good sense whith is the highest gifi of nature to a public man, and his highefV merit ; that good feufe which alone the agitations of the foul, and corre&s the wandrnngi of the understanding. " The habitml moderation of Wasbing- Ich, his firmnefs which was ever calm and well-timed, his prudence, which neither difficulty nor pfciHnn, neither hop* nor fear i could shake, his superiority to all artifice and intrigue, and his ait Ms politics, dicta ted by a just rliiniation ot times, men, and things, have never degenerated for a ipo r mrnt. Placed >1 the head of an infant Re public, he acquired all the dignity . usually billowed on high offices by the force of cui ftom and of age } and'he preserved it as if he had ruled America for a century : his administration was better fuppnrted '•/ re fpe&t and confidence than by laws or armies^ "He has not been charged with a vjti h or a weakness. No one has railed a doubt of his integrity or his difintereftrd nefs. Free from ambition, he never would h:ive fought fnperier rank, or have been anxious «o make a figure: he was led to them by his services, the general eftrem he atfatfrd, and bycircumftantes. In him su periority was pardoned ; the jealouly #f his equals vanilhed before the. admirable fimpli ility of his manners, the purity of his morals, and the re&itude of his condadt-—ln short neither a vain love of glory, nor the desire of diftiuAion, nor any prrfoaal view, ever gave a bias to his patriotism, which was the principle of all his thoughts, and the spring of all his aflions. *33 33 s<*7® ** *9 S 9 JOHN JAY.
