The Marine Committee laid before Congress a letter of the 28 July, from Isaac Smith, Ebenezer Storer and William Phillips, commissioners appointed to settle the accounts of the continental agents, which was read, and wherein they set forth, that they have settled William Bartlett's account, and find a balance due to him from the states, of £4,504 2 0 15,013 60/90 dollars, and to Jonathan Glover, Esqr £16,527 9 2 55,091 47 /90 dollars, being the balance of his account; that they would have complied with the orders of the Marine Committee to pay these balances, but cannot find any person who wants the money in Philadelphia, and as Messrs. Bartlett and Glover are in great want of the money, in order to settle with the captors, they have advised them to send a person express for this purpose; Whereupon,

Resolved, That an order be drawn on the commissioner of the loan office, for the state of Massachusetts bay, in favor of Isaac Smith, Ebenezer Storer, and William Phillips, for the sum of 70,105 1/6 dollars, for the pay­ment of the balances due to Messrs. Bartlett and Glover.
