TO the Senate Qfthe Y. States:


BY an act of the last session Of Con-
gress, it was made the duty OF the ac-
counting officers of the Treasury to adi lust
aud settle the accounts of Daniel u. Tom
kins, late governor of the state of n. York,
on princi ,,les of equity and justice, sub
ject to the revision and final decision of the
President Of the United States. The ac-
officers have, in compliance with
this act, reported to me balance of $500
dollars in favor of Governor Tomkins ;
which report have under consideration,
Together with his claim to an additional
allowance, and should have decided on
the same before the present time, had |
mt delayed my decision at his request.
From the view which have taken of the
subject, am satisfied, considering all the
circumstances of the case, that larger
5 sum ought to be allowed him than that re.
'Iported by the accounting officer of the


Treasury. No appropriation, however


having been made by the act, ard it ap
r pearing, by recent information from him


that the sum reported would afford him al
Z essential accommodation at this time, th
: subject is submitted to the consideration
: of Congress, with view to that subject.
