value $2.00 per share ("Common Stock"), of The Chase Manhattan
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Chase"), and attached
Junior Participating Preferred Stock Purchase Rights (the

4 dated February 9, 1995 in connection with the merger of U.S.

Chase (the "Merger").

          On September 2, 1995, the Merger became effective and

 .680 shares of Chase Common Stock, with the result that only
6,618,928 shares of Chase Common Stock and attached Rights will
be issued.  In accordance with the Item 22 in Part II of the
Registration Statement relating to certain undertakings, this
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is being filed by Chase for the
purpose of deregistering 5,106,878 shares of Chase Common Stock
