SIR,
I have been informed by Mr.. Morier,
that So long ago as the Sd, of last January, in
consequence Of Il written communication
from Sir James Craig. his Ma;esty's G over
nor General and con- mander in chief in Ca
NADIA, dated the 25th November, 1910, ac-
quant;ng him with his suspicions Of its being
the intention Of some of the Indian tribes,
from the great fermentation among them,
to make an attack on the United States, and
authorising him to impart his suspicious to
the American Secretary Of State; he had
actually done SO verbally to Mr.. Smith, your
predecessor i'll Office, and on searching a.
nong the archives of this mission, l have
found the letter alluded to of Sir James CraiS,
by which lie did authorize MIR. Morier to
make the communication in question, as we'll
as 4 memorandum of its having so been
made, as also an express declaration Of
Sir James Craig, that although he doubted
there would not be wanting persons who
would be ready to attribute the movements
of the Indians to the influence Of the British
government, yet that his department were
actually making every cxerton in their pow
er to assist in preventing their attempts.
This evidence, sir, of friendly disposition
toput the United States government on their
guard against the Vaccinations of the sava-
ges, and even to aid in preventing the ca
lamity which has taken place, is SO honora-
bic to the Governor General of Canada, and
so clearly in contradiction to the late I'M
founded reports which have been spread of a
contrary nature, that cannot resist the i'm
pulse have to draw your attention towards
it, not that conceive, that it was necessary
to produce this proof to the United States
government of the falsity of such reports,
which the character OF the British nation,
and the manifest inutility of urging the In
dians TO their destruction, should have rem
lercd improbable, but in order that you may
be enabled, in case il shall seem fitting to You,
by giving publicity to this letter, to correct
the mistaken notions on the subject, which
have unfortunately found their way even a
mong persons of the highest responsibility,
only, as am convinced, from their having
been misiRformed.

SIR,
have had the honor to receive your
letter of the 2Sth ult. disavowing any agency
of your government in the hostile measures
of the Indian tribes towards the United
States. If the Indians derived any encou-
ragement from any persons in those measures
of hostility, it very satisfactory to the Pre-
sident to receive from you an assurance that
no authority or countenance was given to
them by the British government.
