web as BY their own desire to be iiber--
ated from debt, they at length proposed
to make cession which should be to
our convenience. BY a treaty signed at
Fooshapukanuk, on the 10th Of Novem-
Der, 1905, they accordingly ceded all
theirlands south of line to be run from
their and our boundary at the Omochi-
ia, eastwardly to their boundary with
the Greeks on the ridge between the
Iombigbee and Albania, as is more
particularly described in the treaty, con-
tanning about FIVE millions of acres, as
is supposed, and uniting our possessions
there from Adams to Washington coun-
ty.---The location contemplated in the
instructions to the commissioners was
on the Mississippi. That in the treaty.
being entirely different, 1 was at that
time disinclined to- its ratification, and
have suffered it to lie Enacted on. But
progressive difficulties in our foreign re-
latlons, have brought into view consi-
derations other than those which then
prevailed. 1t is now perhaps as inter-
esting to obtain footing for strong set

frontier, eastward of the Mississippi, as

than higher up the river itself. The con-
solidation of the Mississippi territory,
and the establishment of barrier of Sc
paration between the Indians and our
southern neighbours, are also important
objects /; and the Choctaws and their
creditors being still anxious that the
sale should be made, submitted the
treaty to the Senate, who have advised
and consented to its ratification.
therefore now lay it before both houses
of Congress, for the exercise of their
constitutional powers as to the means of
fulfilling it. Tn: JEFFERSON.

the second day, the house refused by
majority of two members to give the
subject the usual direction by commit
ing it to the whole house. The friends /
of the removal perceiving that there
was no likelihood of success, very pro-
perly withdrew the resolution. 1t was
Immediately renewed by Mr.. Blount,
decided opponent of the removal, and
three days have since been employed
in an attempt to obtain some decision,
but hitherto without success. tits pro-

Monday. There is no prospect that
the resolution to remove will be adopt
