To your firmer fetter on the

swer was unavoidably delayed for a

ed, being detained at tny residence
at that period, and not obtaining
your letter immediately on its arri
val here
I also regret that do provision has
been made by the*Legislaiure of this
state, whereby the state can be rep
resented iu the extension of the line
in question. Altbo* lam not appri
zed of any serious point of diffinul
ty attending the operation, yet iu a
matter ot such permanent import
ance, it would seem to be indispen
sably necessary to a final and satis
factory completion of the work, that
the state should be a party. I hope
that uo serious inconvenience will
be experienced, should the matter
be delayed until the Legislature
shall have made provision for ap
pointing one or more commis- i
stoners or artist*, which subject,will !
no doubt, receive the earliest atten- |

To Hi* Lx: G M. Troup, Georgia;
Sia—rThe President has read
with attention, the memorial of the
Legislature of Georgia, on the sub
ject of the claim* of its citizens un
der the Treaty of Bth January, 1821,
and directs me to inform you, that
his opinion on the subject of those
claims remains unchanged.—The
provisions of the Treaty of the Bth
of January, were fatly and deliber
ately examined previous to issuing
the original instructions to Governor
Preston, the Commissioner, by the
President, with the aid of his cabi
net, all tbe members of which con
curred in the principle, that for dep
redations during a period of hostil
ity, if not provided for by Treaty,
terminating such hostility, there
oouid be no claim.
The instructions given to Gover
nor Preston in oonformfty to that
view, were again deliberately re
viewed on tbe application of your
predecessor of the 17th May, 1821,
founded on a memorial of the Legis
lature of the state, aud remained un
changed on this point.
The President has felt through
out the whole, every disposition to
giye the most liberal construction
to the claims of tho citizen* of
Georgia, uuder the Treaty, and re
grets that the Legislature of the
slate should take a different view
from that which he has, after the
most mature deliberation which he
is oapable of giving to the subject,
I have the honor to be, Sir, your
most obedient servant,
