TO The House of Representatives. orhts y. STATES
| transmit to the House Of Representatives,
in compliance with their resolution, of March
the Goth, such information not heretofore com
inundated, as is in the possession Of the Exec
utive, relating 10 the occupation Of Amelia ISL
and. If any doubt had before existed of the
improper conduct Of persons who authorized,
and ofthose who were engaged in the invasion
and previous occupancy of that Island of
the unfifndly spirit towards the United
States, with which IL was commenced aud
prosecuted, and of its injurious effect on their
highest interests, particularly by its tendency
to compromit them with foreign powers 10 all
the understandable acts of the adventures, it is
presumed that these documents would remove
it. It appears by the letter ofM. Pazos, a.
Gent OF Com. Aury, that the project OF sezing
the Floridas was formed and executed at
time when ii was understood that Spain had
resolved 10 cede them to the United States,
and TO prevent such session from taking effect.
The whole proceeding in every stage and in
all its circumstances was unlawful The
commission to Gen. MGregor was granted,
II Philadelphia, in direct violation Of posi-
i've law, and all the measures pursued under
it, by him, in collecting his force, and direct
ing movements, were equally unlawful.
With the conduct Of these persons have al
ways been unwilling TO connect any OF the
colonial governments because never could
believe that they had given the sanction eth
er TO the project in lis origin, or to the meas
ures which were pursued in the execution OF
it. These documents confirm the opinion
which have invariably entertained and ex-
pressed in their favor.
