only JUST disposed Of one large mass of
documents, transmitted 10 Congress, and
another demands our attention, of still
greater volume.

30 Congress, consist OF, first, the report of
Judge Bia.d, one of the commissioners
sent By The Executive 10 South America,
Occupying nearly 300 closely written folio
pages. The great length of this letter will
prevent, probably, its Immediate publica-
lion.
Secondly. letter from Mr.. ]. r. Poin-
sett. of South Carolina, 10 the Secretary of
State, communicating, by request OF The
Executive, such information respecting
South America aud lis atfairs, as his long
residence III those countries, and subse-
qneut intelligence thereirom, have ena-
blei him to give. This letter is also very
long, filling about 300 folio pages and
wili also be precluded, by lis length, from
present publication.

Secretary ofsiatu and Don Louis de OniS,
