HI I've received your letter OF the
iyth okOct. enclosing the memorial of
the Convention of Yves. Florida. To
repress the unreasonable expectations.
therein indicated, in relation to the
vacant land in that Territory, il is
deemed proper to lose no tic "a CON-.
rnunicsing to you and to Governor
Claiborne the sentiments of the Presi-
dent on the subject.
The right ofthe United States to the
Territory of West Florida, as far as the
River Perdido, was fairly acquired by
purchase, and has been formally ratified
by Treaty. The delivery of possession
has, indeed, been deferred, and the
procrastination has been heretofore
acquisssed in by this government from
hope. patiently INDUCED, thar AMIGA
ole ne gsciation would accomplish the
equitable purpose Of the Unit d States.
But this delay, which proceeded only
from the fcrbearrnce of the United
Safes to enforce legitimate and well
known claim, could not impair the le-
HdttY Oi tncU OtiC, nOf COulu any
change in the internal state of things.
without their sanction, howsoever bro't
about, vary their right. Itremains, of
course, as perfect as it was before the
interppsiiion of the Conventions And
the people of West Florida must not
for moment b. misled by the expec-
tation that the United States will sur
render for their exclusive benefit what
had been purchased with the treasure
and for the benefit Of he whole. The
vacant lspd ofthis Territory, thrownin-
60 comn1hn. stock with all the other va
cant lam of the Union, will be pro-
perty In Common for the national uses
Of all the people of the United States.
The community ofiuterests upon which
this government invariably acts, the
liberal policy which it has uniformly
displayed towards the people of the
Territories "a part of which policy has
ever been just regard to homes; set.
ilers) viii, nevertheless, be sufficient
'ledgs 10 the Inhabitants of West Flo
ida, fer the early and continued stten-
ion 9th Federal Legislature TO their
i,pation and their wants.
