The Sec'retary of Stace, 10 whom the
President has been pleased to refer the re
solution of the house of reprevntativrs of
the 22d of last month, but the honor to
etate that it appears from the records in this ,
ssdepartma-nt that in the years 1801 and !SOLsi
the executive had end.-avored to obtain for
she citizem of the Unitcd State; rcsiding
on the waters of 'som'oigbee and Alalmma
rivers, the free navigation of the Mohile
river to its conﬂaence with the ocean—lat.
by claimsiing this navigucion as a natural
right sanctioncd by "the general. principle:
dish: lm of nations applicalole to rivers
similarly situated ; and 2-1. by end.-:woring
to purchase the country held by Spain on
the Mohilc.
-Tl\ese eﬀorts were made before it was
known that'Spain had ceded Louisiana to
tþ'mncc, And consequently before the pur
eKne-of that provinoe by the U.S. Since
thatpurchase, the country held by Spnin
on the Mobik has been dnimed in being
included therein.
