A copy of my letter, and the col lector's reply, I also transmit t you, and a copy of tha passport mentioned, which had previously been transmitted to me by General John Cofl'ee, of Tel fair couatv, oa whom the Surveyor of the port of Dariea called'. ot hi way to KPancn widi the Africans he had stized. by thit communication and tl.a ac companying' papers, embracing a detail ed report wluchVit is believed, fully de- eloied tlie particulars were wiUiheld fram the House, or suppressed by the lonorable, Secretary of tho Treasury, remains yet to be explained. The Pre; sident, when- called on for information exercises v. by toment hia discretion in withholding such as he deems rrper; bat I have yet to learn, that the Secre tary of the Treasury hat any such pnvr en however, he might possibly have ap prehended, some detriment to the Union, by then laying that communication, and the accompanying papers, marked As 13, C, before the llonse, and therefore with held them. Amongst the papers for warded to the Secretary, yoa will ob serve one was the passport given by D. 11. Mitchell to Jared E.

I he production of this passport, at. that time before the House, might have leu; to some unplea sant' inquiries, such s what right, had the Agent soiii uof or, ty what authon ty diu-h act? It may be recollected, that the Agent, in his letter to Governor Rabun, published in the Journal the 17th February, 1818, speaking of the Afri cans, stated that on "say the 25th.. De cember, 18ir,M he wrote to the Secreta ry of the Treasury of the United States a oiaiciiiciimi uicuociiuw oc't no thing of this letter, nor statement of the case from the Agent, amongst the docu ments laid belore the Huuseby lhe Sec. retary, Th Afnccns remained until the 23th January, 1818, yvhen he pnss was given to convey them awyv hear from therefaryof , tlieTcasu'i ry" before he acted; and whether tlie course he pursued was, authorised or suggested by that Department, can only at present be Judged of by the facts and circumstances known. If the Agent had determined to pursue1 the course a,- dopted, -without the authority or advice oLthe Secretary, there would rave ex- isted no need ot the reriort to the cecre tary, or of the delay which succeeded, as it is presumed tliat Mr. Gross, or par- ticularly uowen, wno uuciviy mxrouu ced the negroeswould at anytime have been willinc.to convey .their share of them ta a place of safety; and the infer ence, that the course pursues oy, tne a srent . was approved , by "the honorabl e Secretary, js strongly supported by the ueciaration ai iiieneu 10 veuiam wi vin, who had been instructed by Colonel Brearly to watchthe movements of the Airicans, ana 11 maicaiea a removal of them, to take charge of them n til they were removed by " proper, au thority.'
