 DEAR SIR: Your letter of yesterday relates to meeting ofthe cabinet in the summer of 1878, rela- tive to the Seminole war. should not feel myself at liberty to disclose the proceeding of any cabinet meeting without the concurrence of the President, and olal the members who attended it; but as your inquiry relates to your own course only, and can speak ofthat without involving any one else, see no impropriety in doing at your request Among other Ideas thrown out for consideration according. to the usual course of cabinet consultations think that at the first meeting you suggested the proprety of an inquiry into the conduct of the commanding general; but remember that the course ultimately adopted hadyour hearty concurrence ; and remem- Der it the distinctly because you mentioned ii repeatedly to me afterwards as a striking evidence of the practical wisdom oftie President who suggest ed it. Thus much feel myself authorized by the call to say of those deliberations The crcunstah- ces mentioned in the extract you enclose purporting to be "an extract of letter from w. H. Crawford Esq to John Forsyth. Esq. dated April 30, 1s3O." have no place in my recollection. The letter from Gen. Jackson to President Monioe, therein men, tioned, IS entirely new to me. According to the description of the letter. given of it in the extract it IS one ofso singular character, that if it had een exhibited at any meeting at whichI was present, I thinH that could not have forgotten it. The occur renee IS said to have taken place twelve years ago. Kept no notes in writing of any of those dsbera- tons, and am speaking merely from memory. But stli think, that if such letter had been produced and read in my presence, should have retained some recollection oft whereas it strikes me, in tne description, as a thing perfectly new, and of wnch never heard before, In the close of the ex tract, the writer says; #Afer that letter was pro

an article explanatory of the grounds upon which the administration had proceeded in regard to General Jackson's military movements. Mir Crawford ad-, verted to some part of the uricle, which laid down a principle of the law of natons if mistake not, which went to show that neutral territory could only be invaded in fresh pursuit of an enemy, and added, "Mr Adams denies all that" He represent ed MT Adams going much further in justifying Gen. Jackson than even MT Monroe, stating that the latter was induced to pass over :he conduct of Gen. Jackson without public censure but from po- litcal considerations connected with relations with Spain. Your obedient servant,

 DEAR SIR: In answer to the inquiries contained in your note of this morning, Isubmt the following statement: l very distinctly recollect to have heard Mt Crawford q think in the summer of 1e16,) in conversation with Eldred Simpkns, Esq. relative to the proceedings of Gen. Jackson in the Seminole war; and to the pursued by the cabinet ouch- ing those proceedings. MT Crawford spoke without any kind of reserve as the respective parts taken by the different members of the cabinet while the subject was under delberation. He stated that you had been in favor of inquiry into the conduct of Gen. Jackson, and that he was the only member of the cabinet that had concurred with you. He spoke in strong terms of disapprobaton, of the course pur sued by Gen. Jackson not only in his military pro- ceedings but in prematurey bringing the grounds of his defence before the country, and forestamg pub lie opinion, thus anticipating the administrations On this point he remarked that 1.-the administration could not give direction to public opinion, but permitted military officer, who had violated his orders, to anti
 cipate them, they had no business to be at Washing ton, and had better return home. I also remember that the National Intelligencer which was lying the sofa where MT Crawford was sitting, contained

 was sorry to find that you understood your in- structons relative to operations in Florida differently from what we intended. was satisfied, however, that you had good reasons for your conduct, and have acted in all things on that principle By sup posing that you understood them we did, con. cluded that you proceeded on your responsibii- ty alone, in which, knowing the purity of your mo-
 ves have done all that could to justify the mea- sure. well knew, also the misconduct of the Spa nsh authorities in that quarter not of recent date only.
 Finding that you had different view of your pow er it remains only to do justice to you that ground. Nothing can be further from my intention than to expose you to responsibility, in any sense, which you did not contemplate.
 The best course to be pursued seems to me to be for you to write letter to the Department, in which you will state that having to think that diff ference of opinion existed between you and the Ex- ecutlve, relative to the extent of your powers you thought it due to yourself to state your view of them and on which you acted. This will be answered, so as to explain ours, in a friendly manner by Mir Cal houn, who has very just and liberal sentiments on the subject This will be necessary Tn the case of call for papers by Congress, or may be- Thus we shall all stand on the ground of honor, each do- ing justice to the other, which is the ground on which we wish to place each other. . | l hope that your health is improved, and Mrs Monroe untes in her best respects to Mrs Jackson.
