U. STATKS.
Julv JSth 1SU. Sir I have had the honor of rcciving your letter of the 'M inst. requesting that the dividend of the stock of the Bank
owned by the United States should be placed to'thc credit of the Treasurer ol the United States at the office of this bank in Washington, which was this morning submitted to the board of directors. At the same time was presented a copy of your letter to the cashier of that office, dated the J inst. containing the final refusal of the Treasury to allow
the claim of the bank for damages in the protested bill against the French government. After due consideration of the contents of these communications, I am instructed by the board of directors to inform you that from the dividend payable the 17th of this month there will be deducted the amount due to the bank for damages, cost and interest upon the bill of exchange drawn by the Secretary of the Treasury
on the French government and that the

large portion of the public dividends while

lion of dollars belonging to the govern meni1 but hitherto uncalled for by its ere
ditors or the treasury this department docs not consider that it has yet enjoyed a suitable opportunity in relatton to so unexpected a measure to know the views or

the proceedings the bank has been pleas

In the mean time, if the bank desires, before a report is prepared, that the facts and reasons in detail, on which its decisions and especially its claim for damages on the bill of exchange
are founded, should be examined by this department, the statement of them, whenever forwarded, will receive respectful consideration. 1 have the honor to be yours. LEVI WOODBURY. Secretary of the Treasury. X. Biddle, Esq.
