SIR-Your's of the 5th inst, has been du
ly received with the accompanying docu-
lnents.


am directed by the President to express
his regret at the failure OF your efforts to
reconcile the Greeks to an acquiescence in
the treaty made at the Indian Springs, as it
was his sincere desire to have seen it car
ried into effect. But the determined oppo-
sition of the Indians to the treaty itselt Oil
the alleged grounds Of intrigue and treach
cry, OF the portion Of the tribe negotiating
th- treaty, as well as the sm.liness q their
numbers, from which they argue its invalid
ity, and their solemn appeal to the justice
and n2saanimity Of the Cnited States, Gre
atss such an obligation, that we should, ct
lest, pause before we proceed, or permit
others to do so, until these allegations can
be thoroughly investigated, and their effects
decided by the proper authority; the more
especially. as the eighth article Of the trea-
ty gives till September Of the next year, and
guarantees them from encroachment till
that time. 1t is in this posture of affairs,
Gov. rroup insists he will survey the land.
A collision BY overt acts between the Exec
utive of the Union, and that of state is so
against the theory of the constitution, and





that he would determine only under sol
emn sense Of duty to do all act by which 50
serious result w,dlld be produced


IfGovernor Troup should however pcrse-
we're in his declared purpose of surveying
the land against the repeated remonstrances
of this Department, it will prescAt one Of
the most unfortunate events which have yet
occurred in our history. It's possible occur
renee has induced the President to weigh
with the deliberate circumspection made
necessary, as we'll by its serious conse.
quences as its high responsibility. His lie
cison thereon has been made and transmitt'
ed to Governor 1roup in letter Of this d ate
a copy of which enclose you Tor lnforma
tion, and by which vow will learn the line o
conduct which the President has prescribct
to himself


1t is still devoutly to be hoped that GOV
Troup will abstain from any act that MA,
make it necessary to have recourse to tn
steps suggested; yet SHOULD he persevere i
sending persons to survey the lands embla
ced within the TreatY, you are hereby au
tho,ized to employ tn military to preven
theiv entrance On the Indian Territory, or
they should succeed il entering the countr,
to cause them to be arrested, and turn thel
over to the judicial 4Jtlority, to be dea
with as the law directs. have only to ad
that have transmitted to Gov. Troup CT
by OF this communication. | have the hoI
