REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF

 NAR ON INDIAN AftAIRS

 svesmuch regret, that3wez are unable 10 lay before our readers, this very in- tcresfing document entirc. We must. however, content ourselves with some extracts. As to tic number of elni- grants, he says:

 Agreeable to the best estimate. that can be made at this Department, the following is the nsiiHber of Eniiaus, who have already migrated to that region: Gretks. 2,5o0 Kaskasias,

 Choctaws, 6,0o0 Pianxcshas, 400 Cherokces, $500 Peorias,

 Delawares, 5000 Weas, $50 Shawnesc, f,5OO Senecas, $40 kiclSapoos, I,s00

 Making an aggregate of nineteen thousand, three hundred and ninety.

 eeialoFifstJ with tiii the existing trea- y stipulations, about twelve thousand Choctaws, will probably be added to this number within the present year, though possibly the departure of some of them may be delayed until the next. A And should the arrangement, provision ally made with the Chickasaws, become absolute,and he ratified by the govern mcnt, together with the treaties recent y concluded in Ohio, the number of emlgrants, during this season may be estimated as follows.

 Cloctaws, I2,000 Chic1asa.vs. 3 300 Shawnese, $50 Shawnese and Scnecas, 32O Ottawas, 400

 lf; .57n There would then remain, eastof the Mississippi, and south of the Territory of Michigan, the following tribes, and portions of tribes, who will probably, ere long, feel the necessity of joining their countrymen in the same region; Greeks, 20 ,OO0 CherolSees, Il ,0OO Florida Indians, 1000 1AsfIianlis, ,00o Wyandots, 150

 3G,45O It will be thus seen, that the country ssoliiil of the Missouri, and west of the State of Missouri, and the Territory of Arkansas, which has been plrchascdiby the United States from the original oc- cupants, for tho purpose of division a mong the cmigrated Indians, and with a aview to their final establishment, will contain, when this measure is accom- piished, population of seventy thou: sand, four hundred and ten persons.

 Itis impossible, in the present imper' feet state of our knowledge of the to pography of that country, to ascertain with much precision, the quantity Q land heretofore ccded to the unites States, the quantity already granted t the transplanted bands, or that whicf remains for future assignment. The az gregate amount may however he esti mated. from the best materials in tI1' possession of the department, at ou' hundred millions of acres. Of these there have already been granted, ! round numbers, to the
