TREASURY DEPARTMENT, October 22, 1846. This Department will issue Treasury notes to the amount of three millions of dollars, bearing an interest of 5 2-5 per cent. per annum, payable to the order of persons or corporations making deposites therefor, in specie, in sums not of less than one thousand dollars, with either the Treasurer of the United States, Assistant Treasurer at Boston, New York, Charleston, or St. Louis, or Treasurers of the mint at Philadelphia or New Orleans. The notes will bear even date with the date of deposite. R. J. WALKER, Secretary of the Treasury. No. 5. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, February 9, 1847. Sealed proposals will be received, until the 10th day of April next, inclusive, for a loan of eighteen millions of dollars, under the act of the 28th January last, authorizing the issue of Treasury notes, &c., on Treasury notes to be issued under said act, payable two years after the date of said notes, with interest, at the rate of six per cent. per annum, payable semi-annually. The bids, in all cases, must be unconditional, and without any reference to the supposed bids of others, or they may not be considered. The bids should state distinctly, in all cases, the premium offered. No bids will be received below par. To give an opportunity to all persons to participate in the investment of funds in these notes, which, on account of the privilege of funding, may hereafter be materially enhanced in value, bids will be received for the lowest denomination of notes authorized by the law, as well as for higher sums. The Department reserves the right of fixing the periods when the money must be paid, so as not to be required to anticipate the wants of the Government, or allow any interest until the money is actually paid. The money payable on the loan can be deposited with the Treasurer of the United States, the Treasurer of the mint at Philadelphia or the branch mint at New Orleans, or with any of the Assistant Treasurers at Boston, New York, Charleston, or St. Louis. R. J. WALKER, Secretary of the Treasury. |
