          The Statement on Schedule 13D of The Chase Manhattan Corporation
(formerly Chemical Banking Corporation) (the "Company"), dated September 6,
1995 (the "Statement"), is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

          Item 2.  Identity and Background.

          The merger (the "Merger") of The Chase Manhattan Corporation ("Old
Chase") with and into Chemical Banking Corporation ("Chemical") was consummated
on March 31, 1996.  As a result of the Merger, the Company, which is the
surviving corporation of the Merger, changed its name from "Chemical Banking
Corporation" to "The Chase Manhattan Corporation".  The principal bank
subsidiaries of the Company are currently The Chase Manhattan Bank (National
Association), a national banking association ("Chase Bank"), Chemical Bank, a
New York banking corporation ("Chemical Bank"), and Texas Commerce Bank
National Association, a subsidiary of Texas Commerce Equity Holdings, Inc., a
Delaware holding company subsidiary of the Company.  Chase Bank and Chemical
Bank have entered into an agreement pursuant to which Chase Bank will merge
with and into Chemical Bank, with Chemical Bank continuing as the surviving
corporation in the bank merger under the name "The Chase Manhattan Bank".  The
bank merger is expected to be completed in July 1996.

          The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 270
Park Avenue, New York, New York 10017.

          The name, address, present principal occupation or employment, and
citizenship of each director and executive officer of the Company as of the
date hereof are set forth on Schedule I hereto and are incorporated herein by
reference.


          Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          As a result of the Merger, no shares of common stock, par value $2
per share (the "Old Chase Common Stock"), of Old Chase remain outstanding.  At
the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Old
Chase Common Stock that was owned by Old Chase as treasury stock or was owned
by Chemical or any wholly owned subsidiary of Old Chase or Chemical (other than
shares in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like that were beneficially
owned by third parties) were cancelled and retired.  Each issued and
outstanding share of Old Chase Common Stock (other than those cancelled as
described in the preceding sentence and other than fractional shares which were
converted into cash) was converted into 1.04 shares of Common Stock, par value
$1.00 per share, of the Company. 

          The option granted by Old Chase to Chemical, pursuant to which
Chemical had the right, upon the occurrence of certain events, to purchase from
Old Chase up to 34,551,183 shares of Old Chase Common Stock (or such greater
number as at the time of purchase equalled 19.9% of the then outstanding shares
of Old Chase Common Stock) for $51.875 per share, subject to customary anti-
dilution adjustments, terminated at the effective time of the Merger.

I certify that the information set forth in this Statement is true, complete
