_To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United
States_:
I now render to Congress the account of the fund established by
the act of May 1st, 1802, for defraying the contingent charges
of Government. No occasion having arisen for making use of any
part of the balance of $18,560, unexpended on the 31st day of
December, 1803, when the last account was rendered by Message,
that balance has been carried to the credit of the surplus fund.
