No. 340.

[1st Session.

EXPENSE ANNUALLY INCURRED UNDER THE ACT FOR PROHIBITING THE SLAVE TRADE.

COMMUNICATED TO THE SENATE DECEMBER 6, 1827.

Washington, December 6, 1821.

To the Senate of the United States:

In compliance with a resolution of the Senate, of the 19th of February last, requesting a statement of all the expenses annually incurred in carrying into effect the act of March 2, 1819, for prohibiting the slave trade, including the cost of keeping the ships-of-war on the coast of Africa, and all the incidental expenses growing out of the operations of that act, I transmit a report from the Secretary of the Navy, with the statement, so far as it can be made, required by the resolution.

J. Q. ADAMS.

Navy Department, December 4, 1821.

The Secretary of the Navy has the honor to transmit to the President of the United States copies of three accounts, being statements of the expenditure of the appropriations for the support of the agency on the coast of Africa and the prohibition of the slave trade, since April, 1823, when that fund came under the control of this Department, to the 29th November, 1821, prepared in compliance with a resolution of the Senate, passed 19th February, 1821.

As no vessel-of-war of the United States has been exclusively attached to that station, one of those belonging to the West India squadron having been occasionally sent to afford protection to the agency, and for uncertain periods, an accurate statement of what has heretofore been "the cost of keeping ships-of-war on the coast of Africa" cannot be furnished. The annual expense would probably be about the average cost of keeping vessels of the same class in commission on other stations. An estimate is annexed of the expense of the several classes of our ships, for one year.

The original resolution and paper accompanying it are herewith returned.

Respectfully submitted.

SAM'L L. SOUTHARD.
