^trespassers and the protection of the public pro-

In the correspondence between the Governor ofMaine and Sir John Harvey, Lieutenant Governorol the Province of New Brunswick, which hasgrown out of these ocurrences, and is likewiseherewith communicated, the former is requested torecall the armed party advanced into the disputedterritory for the arrest ol trespasses*, and is inform¬ed that a strong body of British troop* is to be heldin readiness to support and protect the authorityand subjects of Great Britain in said territory. Inanswer to that request, the Provincial Governoris informed of the determination of the State ofMaine to support the land agent and his party in theperformance of their duty, and the same determi¬nation, for the execution ol which provision'is madeby a resolution of the State Legislature, is commu¬nicated by the Governor to the General Govern¬ment.The Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick in

calling upon the Governor of Maine for the recallof the land agent and his party from the disputedterritory, and the British Minister, in making a si¬milar demand upon the Government of the UnitedSlates, proceed upon the assumption that an agree¬ment exists between the two nations conceding toGreat Britain, until the final sfttlernent of the bound¬ary question, exclusive possession of, and jurisdic¬tion over, the territory in dispute, the importantbearmg winch such an agreement, if it existedni°Mi «"av®uPon.the condition and interests of thepanies, and the influence it might have upon theadjustment of the dispute, are too obvious to allowhe error upon which thin assumption seems to restto pass for a moment without correction. The an¬swer of the Secretary of State to Mr. Fox's note willshow the ground taken by the Government of theUnited Stales upon this point. It is believed that allhe correspondence which has passed between thetwo Governments upon this subject has already

communicated to Congress, and is now ontheir files. An abstract of it, however, hastily pre-

^eiu( accompanies this communication. It fs pos-si le that in thus abridging a voluminous corres¬

pondence, commencing in 1825 and continuing to a

y recent period, a portion may have been acci-- a,'y overlooked ; but it is believed that nothingicW, r

e -,ch would ma'erially change thea. pect of the question as therein presented. Insteadr0£n»ri« ,Kg, .ssumPlion ol the British func¬tionaries, that correspondence disproves the exist¬ence of any such agreement, shows that the twoGovernments have differed not only in regard tothe main question of title to the territory in disputei h fr:er.?rls0 ,0, lhe r*ht of jurisdictionand the fact of the actual excrcise of it in differentportions thereof. Always aiming at an amicableadjustment of the dispute, both parties have enter¬tained and repeatedly urged upon each other a desire

SflrZ',km , e.xer.c,se its rigbts, whatever it con-sidered them to b?, in such a manner as to avoidcollision, and allay to the greatest practicable extentthe excitement likely to grow out of the controversyMSnVHn5,,MUanceu0f SUCh an understanding thaiMaine and Massachusetts, upon the remonstranceof Great Britain, desisted from making sales oflands, and the General Government from the con¬struction of a projected military road in a portion ofthe territory of which they claimed to have enjoyedh/rnnr ?0ssessioD i and 'hat Great Britain, on

ih- ^l?rence 10 aJsil?i'ar remonstrance fromthe United States, suspended the issue of licenses tocut timber in the territory in controversy, and alsothe survey and location of a railroad through a seV-lion of country over which she also claidSfto£exercised exclusive jurisdiction.The State of Maine had a right to arrest the depre¬

dations complained of; it belonged to her to judge ofthe exigency of lhe occasion cal ing for her inter¬ference; and it Is presumed that had the LieutenantGovernor of New Brunswick been correctly adv.s-ed of the nature of the proceedings of the State ofMaine, he would noi have regarded the transactionas requiring, on his part, any resort to force. Eachparty claiming a right lo the territory, and hence tothe exclusive jurisdiction over it, it is manifest thatto prevent the destruction of the timber by tresspass¬ers, acting against the authority of both, and at thesame lime avoid forcible collision between the con¬tiguous Governments during the pendency of nego¬tiations concerning the title, resort must be had tothe mutual exercise of jurisdiction in such extremecases, or to an amicable and temporaryarrangementas to the limits within which it should be exercisedby each party. The understanding supposed to ex¬ist between the United Stales and Great Britain hasbeen found heretofore sufficient for that purpose, andI believe will prove so liereafirr, if the parties onthe frontier, directly interested in the question are

respectively governed by a just spirit of conciliationand forbearance. If it shall be. found, as there isnow reason to apprehend, that there is, in lhe modesof construing that understanding bv the IwoGovern-ments, a difference not to be reconciled, I shall nolhesitate to propose to her Britanic Majesty's Govern¬ment a distinct arrangement for the temporary andmutual exercise of jurisdiction by means of whichsimilar difficulties may in future be prevented.

But between an effort on the pari of Maine to pre¬serve the property in dispute from destruction by in¬truders, and a military occupatien by that State ofthe territory, with a view to hold it by force, whilethe settlement is a subject of negotiation between thetwo Governments, there is an essential difference, aswell in respect to the position of the State, as to theiliiticsof the General Government. In a letter ad¬dressed by the Secretary of State to the Governor of

a >(,n 'he 1st of March last, giving a detaileds airment of the steps which had been taken bv theFederal Government to bring the controversy to a

7r,a;ulLrtes,Pned '« apprize the Governorf that State of the views of the Federal Executive

in respect to the future, it was stated, that while thebligations of the Federal Government to do all in

its power to effect the settlement of the bonndarvquestion were fully recognized, it had, in the event ofbeing unable to do so specifically, by mutual consent,ik°« k-r me?ns to "ccomf,lish ,hal obJect amicably,than by another arbitration, or by a commission withan umpire in the nature of an arbitration; and that,in the evtnt of all other measures failing, the Pre-« dent would feci it his duty to submit another propo¬sition Co the Government of Great Britain, to refer

PREFATORY REMARKS OF TIIECOMMITTEES REPORT.

The Select Committee, chosen by the House ofRepresentatives on the 17th and l!)ifi ultimo, to in¬vestigate the dtfalcations of Samuel Swartwout. latecollector of the customs at the port ol New York,and of other officers, have devoted to the faithfuldischarge of the duties assigned them the limitedtime allowed foi the purpose by the shortness of thepresent session of Congress.

It was most obvious, however, that the whole fieldof inquiry presented by the resolution appointingthe Cominiitee, could not be properly traversed toreport thereon, either satisfactorily to the country orto the Committee, during the snort remainder olthe present Congress. This impressed upon theCommittee at once n resolution, which has beenrigidly adhered to, of limiting the investigation tosuch branches of the subjects referred to them as hadmost deeply excited public anxiety and alarm, andto undertake only so much of these ns might bethoroughly exhausted within the allotted period ofthe Committee's researches. But the important re¬sults which have been attained, notwithstanding thedisadvantages adverted to, cannot fail to inspire thecountry with a confident hope, that the high t bliga-tion which will rest upon the successors of the pre¬sent Congress in the Legislature of the nation, toresume and complete the great work of investiga¬tion and reform of the alarming condition and abusesof the Executive departments of the Government,from the highest to the lowest, and from the nearestto the remotest functionaries, will engage the promptand efficient attention which its magnitude demands.Guided solely by the character of the develop¬

ment which the investigation imposed upon themby the House has elucidated, the Committee cannotresist the conviction, that at no period in the historyof the Federal Government has there been deeperor better founded cause than exists at the presentmoment, for every patriot heart to desire a promptconsummation of ihat signal "Uisk of rtform" irkichpublic sentiment many years since inscribed an the listof Executive duties, in characters too legible to be over¬looked, requiring, " particularly the correction ofthose abuses that have brought the patronage of theFederal Government into conflict with the freedomof elections, and the counteraction of those causeswhich have disturbed the rightful course of appoint¬ment, nud have placed or continued power in un¬

faithful or incompetent hands."*The first procedure of the Committee, after or¬

ganizing itself for business, was to visit the city ofNew York, to inspect there, in person, the originalrecords and papers of the custom house, in conjunc¬tion with the examination of such witnesses as mightbe supposed capable of shedding light upon the in¬quiry involved by the defalcations of Mr. Swart-wout. Thenceforward this branch of the investiga¬tion was conducted pursuant to the resolution of theHouse, viz: to ascertain "the causes and extent" ofthose defalcations; the length of time they have ex¬isted ; the correctness of the returns which havebeen made by Mr. Swartwout, and by the naval of¬ficer at New York, and by other officers connectedwith the adjustment of his accounts.Concurrently with the investigation ofMr. Swan

woul's defalcations, those of William M. Price,lale district attorney in New York, were likewisekept in view; and the fullest practicable extentof information respecting them has been i b-tained, and will be adverted to in the sequel of thisreport.

The correctness of the returns which have beenmade bytheprcsentcollectorof customsandlhe navalofficer at the port of New York, was also sought to beexamined bv the Committee w hile in that city. "Con¬sidering that the customs collected at New Yorkequal nearly two-thirds of the whole amount in allthe United States," as stated in the special report ofthe Secretary o( the Treasury on Mr. Swartwont'sdefalcations, (House document 13, p. C, of the pre¬sent session,) the Committee did notsupposethat ihevshould faithfully discharge their duly to the House,or pay a proper deference to that patriotic distrustwhich pervades the country at the present time inregard to the affairs of the custom house at NewYork, were they to limit their inquiries to the re¬turns of the late collector and naval officer, and ne¬glect entirely those of their successors, which must,af all times, be to the country of equal interest withthe former, and, at the present lime, of even moreimmediate importance to the security ofthe nationalTreasury. But, in the execution of' so much of thispart of their inquiries ns related to the present col¬lector of New York, they were compelled to encoun¬ter most unexpected obs acles, interposed by the col¬lector himself, aud setting at defiance the authoritydelegated to the Committee by the House. Thefacts connected with the battled endeavors of theCommittee to obtain information for the House andcountry from this officer of the Executive branch ofthe Government, who is in immediate chargcof andcontrol over public moneys that " equal nearly two-thirds of the whole amount" collected from customs" in alt the United States," will be more specially de¬tailed in a subsequent portion of this report.The Committee will remark here, that, in theonset of the investigation they have made, they sup¬posed it both proper and safe to place themselvessomewhat confidently under the guidance of the se-veral special reports which have been made to theHouse upon the subject of Mr. Swartwout's defalca¬tions, bv the Treasury officers, previous to the appointment of the Committee.combining, in thisview, reports from the Secretary of the Treasury,the First Comptroller, the Solicitor, and First Aii-dilorof the Treasury,as exhibited in House document

* Inaugural address of President Jackson, March4, 18*».

13. Ii, however, vcryaoon became evident that thosereport* were not to be implicitly relied on as auxilia¬ries in finding out either the law or the (acts of theease: and that, on the contrary, they furnished butan oblique view of both the causes and duratiou ofMr. 8wartwout's defalcation.*, as also of the lawand many material facts which develop the truecharacter of those defalcations. Of necessity, there-

I fore, these reports, although emanating from thehighest orders ol official functionaries employed inlh« collection end disbursement of the public teve-noes, became the subjects of as cautious and criticalexamination a* any other portions of evidencewhich the case presented, and as such it will beobligatory upou the Committee to lieal them in thisreport.

In reviewing the details of their labor.*, so thatthe progress ami results ol tbetn may be presentedin the simplest form, the Committee propose to con¬sider.

Psarl. The defacations of Mr. Swartwout.Past II. The defalcation* of Mr. Price.Pabt III. The correctness of the return* which have

been mad* by the present collector sod naval officer ofih* port of New York, respectively.Psbt IV. The defalcation* among receiver* of thepublic money.

Paar V. The (set* connected with the foregoing de¬falcation*, and deemed material to develop their truecharacter.

Each of the division* thu* proposed will properly in¬volve the law appertaining to it, a* the appropriate *d«junct of it* fact*. And a* the lavage of the lawiiaetf will in each instance be cited in detafl, that its au¬thority and injunction may be correctly onderatood byovary one, *o the language of the individual teatimonyrelied on in each instance will be adduced, that its im¬port and fore* may he left neither to uncertain construc¬tion or doubtful inference. Tlie increased fidelity oftheir report, in the eetiination of the Committee, will be,by this mode, sn ample offset to ita consequent enlarge¬ment

Bcforepioceeding to the general topic* of thi* report,a* al.csdy laid down, it m*y be proper here to expressthe deep aei.ee of diaappointment and regret whicn theCommittee feel, in not being able to communicate to theHouse one document that waa called for at an early day,regarded s* having an important and interesting influ¬ence upon the judgment which the Home might form onthe subject of defalcation* among public officers, andthe cause* which have led to their multiplication. It will!.* perceived from the following letter, that the Commit¬tee availed itself of the earliest period after their organ-nation to make a call upon the Preaident to furuiali alist of the defalcation* that have taken place among col¬lector*, receivers, snd disbursing officers of public mo-r.ev. and other public officers, since the 4th of March,1U29, showing the amount of each, dtc.More than tour weeks hsve now elapsed since that

call waa made upon the President, snd the only infor¬mation winch the Committee haa obtained to refiort up¬on to the liooae is contsmed in the following letter ; thedistinguishing festure of which information is, that stillmore time than even the whole remainder of the sessionwill Lo requisite to snswer the call. From thia theCommittee are compelled reluctantly to infer, either.

lat. That the accounts and recorde of the aeversl De¬partments, in general, are so incomplete and defectiveas not to exhibit, without great labor and delay, the truer< lationa of collectora,receiver*and disburse. of the pub¬lic money, and of other officer* of the Government, asto distinguish debtor* from defaulters, and creditorsfrom both.

2dly. That the number of the defaulter* have multi-pin d so rapidly since 1839, under theayatem of accoun¬

tability pursued toward* collector*, receiver*, and dis¬burse ra of the public money, and other officers, aa topreclude the practicability of receiving sn account cur¬rent of thrir defalcations with all the clerical force atthe command of those Departments, under existing lawaand appropriationa.If either inference be juat, (and none other of equalweight aecrns to be fairly deducible from the letter of theSecretary of the Treasury.) it manifest* a laxity of ad¬ministration which demsnds the earliest application ofsuitable remedies within the reach of Congress and ofthe country.

For the papers No*. 1 and 3, referred to in the sub¬joined latter, reference is respectfully msde to the jour¬nal of the committee, p. 470 and onward.

Treasury Department, Feb 18, 1839.Si* The Preaident, on the 23d ultimo, referred to

thi* Department the following resolution passed by theInvestigsting Committee:" Ketolvid, That the President of the United States

be requested to cause this committee to be furnished bythe proper Executive Department with a table showingthe defalcationa which have occurred among the collec¬tors, receivers, and disbursers of the public money, sndother public officers, since the 4th day of March, 1829 ;the names of the defaulters ; the amount of each defal¬cation ; when each case occurred; the length of timeasch case has existed ; what atep* have been taken bythe proper department* or officer* to proaecute the de¬faulters snd to aeenre the United States, In each case ;and what defaulter* are retained ir. the same offices inwhich thev became defaultera, or have been appointedto other officea "

He accompanied it with a reqneat that ail the infor¬mation desired should be procured a* early as practica¬ble, and submitted by me lo the committee. Accord¬ingly, on the same day, I enclosed copies of it to theother Departments, and alao to the proper bureaus inthe Treasury Department, and denrea that replies mightbe furnisheo, so fsr a* in their power, and soon as intheir power, to the several inquiriea made. I furtherrequested the bureaus connected with this Departmentto employ any extra assistance that could ite advantage-oualy applied in haatcning their anawera.

I would now inform the committee that (Treat propresahaa been made in respect to those part* of the aniwersconnected with tho Hegiater'* office, and all whichcould be made, conaiatent with the difficulty and extentof the labor, in the Third Auditor'a office. But it i*feared that, on account of thi* labor, and the greatma** of previous calla by eommitteea and by the twoHouse* of Congress, which are alao to he answered,bende* transacting the current business in the differentbureaus, the whole details and tho tabular statementrequired cannot be completed during the session. Eve¬ry effort, however, winch, under *11 the circumstance*,can be made, ia believed to be exerted to meet thecall at tie earliest dav practicable.

In reaped to the la*t branch of the resolution, asking" what defaulter* are retained in the **me office* inwhich they became defaulters, or have been appointedto other offices." I am able to preeent the report of theKegister, from hi* r<Acf, which exhilrit* such name* a*arc on hia hook* connected with the State and TreasuiyDepartments. It ia annexed, and contain* no name a*to thia, and but one aa to the State Department. Thatone is Commodore D Porter , arid by the correspond¬ence anneaed. it will b« seen that he does not considerhimself a defaulter, though h* stands charged on theRegister'* books for a considerable sum on account ofprixe money, as explained in the papera (Nos I and 2.)

3d. Tbat hi* omianiou to carry a debit to kiniellof the moneys received by him from the Treasury,or from other sources, prior to 1837, to the clone oiaccounts kept onlv at the custom house, called hiscask accounts, and his carrying a debit to himself ofany soch items to MOV other class ot accounta keptoutv at the cuUomkoute, called tutytnu and unsettledaccounts, or by any other name, would not operate asa concealment, innocent or fraudulent, from theTreasury Department, of the true cuik balance in *bis hands. First, because neither his cash account

.tior his suspense and unsettled account, nor anyother subordinate account, kept at the coatom-house,was ever exhibited to, or formed the basis of anyquarterly settlement made by him with the account¬ing officers of the Treasury. Secondly, because inhis quarterly accounts settled at the Treasury De¬partment, the aggregate and true balance oI all hissubordinate accounts kept at the custom-house, in¬cluding both his cash account and suspense account,was uniformly, prior to 1837, carried into hia quar¬terly account under the item of " cask, and unseltUdaccounts."

4th. That the defalcations of Mr. Swartwout, bymeaus of fraud and false returns, commenced in1837, and not sooner, and have existed since that pe¬riod ; and the defalcations thus acct uing, added tomoneys previously retained by hlrn, according tohis returns to the Treasury Department, and by thesilent acquiescence of the officers of that Depart¬ment until the close of his term of office, constitutethe aggregate of his defalcations at the present pe¬riod.

3. TIIE CAUSES OP MR. aWABTWOUT's DEFALCATION.

Causk I. Th*irresponslbility of Mr. Swartwoutin pecuniary character at the time of his appoint¬ment to office.

Conclusions of the Committee.1st. That nt the time of Mr. Swartwout's appoint¬

ment, and of his reappointment to office, he waswholly irresponsible in pecuniary reputation, andwas Involved in debt.

Sd. That at the time of his appointment and of hisreappointment, and for the whole period he was inoltice, he was notoriously engaged in large andhazardous speculations, and deeply embarrassed bythem.

,, ,3d. That his pecuniary responsibility and conse¬quent involvements by hazardous speculations, con¬stitute one of the primary causes of his defalcationsto the Government.

, , .Cause II. Culpable disregard of law, and neglectof official duty, by the lale naval officer at NewYork.

Conclusions of I've Committee.1st. That the late naval officer at the port of New

York, throughout the term of his set vice, from 1829 to1838, wholly disregarded the requirements of lawprescribing the duties of his office.

2d. That said naval officer, for the same period,wholly disregarded the instructions of the Comp¬troller of the Treasury of November 10, 1821.

3d. That said naval officer by so disregarding therequirements of law and the instructions of ie

Treasury Department, culpably neglected to keepthe accounts and records appertaining to his ottice,and thereby rendered the office nugatory as a cnecKon the »ecounts ol the collector.

4th. That if the duties of said naval officer, asauthorized and directed by existing laws, had beenexecuted with proper care and vigilance, they wouldhave rendered it impracticable for any fraud or errorin any of the accounts of the collector of said port toescape immediate detection.

5th. That the culpable disregard of the plain re¬quirements of law and of Treasury instructions pre¬scribing the duties of naval officers, hv navaloflicer, and his continued neglect of official duty, isa primary cause of the immense defalcations ol thelate collector of New York.Cause III. Culpable disregard of law ami neglect

of official duty by the First Auditor of the Treasury.Conclusions of the Committee.

1st. That the First Auditor of the Tressury hasbeen guilty of culpable disregard of law, snd neglectof duty, in examining and certifying the correctness ofthe accounts of the late collector at New York withouthaving compared them thoroughly with the vouchersaccompanying the same ; and also in transmitting saidaccounta to the First Comptroller, certified, for revision,whilo the mojt important vouchera therefor were re¬tained in his own office.

......2d That no fraud prtctiiftd by the said collector inhit weekly returna of caah to the Secretary of the Trea¬sury could affect the just and true settlement of the ac¬counta of said collector at the Auditors gjjkfojs saidweekly returna form no part of the basis oT the settle¬ment of aaid quarterly accounts by the Auditor: andtherefore furnish no apology for the neglect of the Au¬ditor to examine the same thoroughly.

,3d That, without the aid of the regiater of bond ac¬

counts of collectors, required by law and 1 reasury cir¬cular to be kept by the Auditor, to enable him to detectfrauds and defalcations, if any exiat, the said Auditorcould have thoroughly examined said Swartwout s quar¬terly accounts during any quarter said Auditor has beenin office, inasmuch as the original quarterly accountswere retained, against law, in hia office, and furnish¬ed the same meana of comparison as a register wouldhave furnished.

,4th. Tlist, in the culpable disregard of law and ne¬

glect of duty, as aforesaid, by said Auditor, is found &

primary cause why the defalcations of said Swartwoutin 1837, and subsequently, escaped early detection, andhave resulted in the probable loss of the public trca-

,1Caus« IV. Culpable diaregard of law and neglect ofduty by the lato and present Comptrollers of the 1 rea¬

sury.Conclusions of the Committee.

1st. That the late Comptroller of the Treasury,George Wolf, Esq , now collector of the port of Phila¬delphia, was guilty, while in aaid office of Comptroller,of culpable disregard of law and neglect of duty, bothin regard to the bonds of collectors filed in his office,and the records thereof required by law, and in settlingand certifying to the Register the accounts of SamuelSwartwout, late collector, without having transmutedto him the vouchers therefor required by positive m-

J '2 l'°Thst the present Comptroller of the Treasuryhas been guilty-of culpable disregard of law and ne¬

glect of duty in settling and certifying to the Registerthe quarterly accounts of Samuel Swartwout, late col¬lector, without having transmitted to him the voucherstherefor required by positive injunction of law.

3d. Tlist said Comptroller is also guilty of culpabledisregard of law and neglect of duty.1st In not hav¬ing sought and sscertained from the "invoices and ap¬praisements" st the custom-house, either through theSolicitor of the Treasury of otherwise, the true ornoontof Swartwout's clsim upon the 8201,000. retained byhiin in going out of office, as suggested in the letter o

the district attorney that was before him, dated April2!S 1838 2dly, In not causing the accounts of saidSwartwout to be forthwith stated, or instituting mca-

aures therefor, immediately on the neglect of saidSwartwout to return atid settle his accounts at the ex-

ptralion of the time allowed him by law for^ that pur¬pose, to wit: in the early part of July, 1838. 3dly.In continuing the same neglect, and foibcaring to issue

warrants of distress against said Swartwout and hissureties from the 3Wt of August, 1838, when apprizedhv the letter of the F.rst Auditor that ssid sccounts stillre,named untitled, until the month of Novembel, whenthe detection of Swartwout's Isrger defalcstion was

such sijnsl inefficiency. ss well as neglect of duty, as

rmd.r nugstorv many of the most important checksupon the First Auditor, snd collectors, receivers, snddisburse** of the public moneys, which the laws creatingand regulating lie duties contemplated, and have aum-eienl'v provided.

...., . ,Aih Thst. in said disregard of Isw snd neglect ofduty by the said Comptrollers, snd inefficiency of thei.lTut as now administered, is to be found a primsrycause of the immense defalcations of the Iste collector(i the port ol New York, snd consequent loss of pub-Cai s* V The discontinusi.ee of the use of bsnks
