sixty seven dollars.

The stipulations of the treaty divide themselves into two parts, national & individual.

    The monies stipulated for in the treaty, may, therefore, be divided into two parts:

National portion.

    Five millions for the country east, payable to the nation.

Individual portion.

    One million, seven hundred & twenty two thousand & sixty seven dollars, for various other purposes. To this, certain minor allowances could be added, but they are immaterial & might only embarrass a statement of the case.
    I myself cannot discover any pretext for not keeping these two branches of the treaty stipulations entirely unmingled. To me there appear two distinct covenants, -- one with the nation for public property, one with the citizens of the nation for private. Both parties are equally entitled to be paid, under these covenants; & neither has a right to take pay out of what is set apart for the other. That such was the view taken of the subject by congress, seems evident from the conformity between the stipulations of the treaty & the consequent appropriations.

The acts of appropriation conform to the division of the treaty into two parts national and individual.

    I shall now proceed to recapitulate the amounts stipulated in the treaty itself, & afterwards granted by law, & the additional ones provided by congress towards carrying the treaty into effect, as just explained.
    I shall next show, as far as I have been able to ascertain, what has been done with these amounts; and among what functionaries the different branches of expenditure under the treaty, have been distributed.
