From THE STATE Secretary
C. II. Mason, of this territory, has received
from Hon. WM. L. MARCY, Secretary Of
State, letter in reply to an application for
information, relative to the terms of the
appropriation by congress, "to enable the
Secretary of State to defray the expenses Of
releasing from captivity among the Indians
of Queen Charlotte's Island, the crew and
passengers of the sloop Georgianna," in
which Mr.. Marcy says that it is evident
that congress intended that the claims under
it should be adjusted at the State Depart
ment at Washington. To enable that de
partment to make such adjustment, Mr..
Marcy says it will be necessary for the par
ties interested to transmit to it their claims
properly authenticated. On that having
been done, the subject will receive immed-
ate attention, and notice will be given Of the
result.
