IN ANSWER

To a resolution of the Senate, calling for a statement of the amounts paid to the owners of certain vessels sunk for the defence of the harbor of Baltimore, in 1814.

FEBRUARY 14, 1854.-Ordered to lie on the table and be printed.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,

February 10, 1854.

SIR: In compliance with the resolution of the Senate of the 31st January, 1854,directing the Secretary of the Treasury, "to communicate to the Senate a statement showing the amount of money that has been allowed and paid, under the acts of 26th June, 1834, and 29th May, 1830, to the owners respectively of the following named vessels, sunk for the defence of the harbor of Baltimore, to wit: Ship Scioto, schooner Packet, ship Packet, brig Ann, brig Betsey, brig George, ship Adriana, schooner Scudder, brig Blanche, brig Sally, ship Mars, sloop Rosanna, schooner Enterprise, brig Eliza, brig Swallow, schooner Columbia, ship Thomas Wilson, and ship Chesapeake," I have the honor to submit a letter of the Third Auditor of the Treasury, accompanied by a statement which embraces the information required.

It seems that other allowances have been made to the owners of the vessels in question, under the provisions of the act of 26th April, 1822, (Little & Brown, private laws, p. 265;) but as these allowances are not within the inquiry of the resolution, I have not deemed it proper to report them

I have the honor to be, your obedient servant,

Hon. D. R. ATCHISON,

President pro tem. United States Senate.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,

SIR: I have the honor to enclose, herewith, a statement, showing the amount of money that has been allowed and paid, under the acts of May 29, 1830, and June 26, 1834, upon awards made by the Third

Auditor, and approved by the Secretary of the Navy, to the owners respectively, (or their legal representatives,) of the following named vessels, sunk for the defence of the harbor of Baltimore in 1814, to wit: Ship Scioto, schooner Packet, ship Packet, brig Ann, brig Betsy, brig George, ship Adriana, schooner Scudder, brig Blanche, brig Sally, ship Mars, sloop Rosanna, schooner Enterprise, brig Eliza, brig Swallow, schooner Columbia, ship Thomas Wilson, and ship Chesapeake, amounting altogether to the sum of $28,336,3%, in obedience to a resolution of the Senate of the 31st ultimo, and referred by you to this office on the 4th instant.

Although not asked for by the resolution, I think it proper to advise you that other allowances have been made upon the vessels sunk for the defence of Baltimore, by the Secretary of the Navy, under the act of the 26th of April, 1822, as appears by a letter addressed to the Fourth by the Third Auditor, on the 22d of June, 1830, a copy of which I enclose herewith.
