Gentlemen: Your dispatches, including the treaty and two conven- tions signed with a French Plenipotentiary, on the 30th of April, were safely delivered on the 14th instant by Mr. Hughes, to whose care you had committed them. Digitized by Googk PURCHASE OF THE TERRITORY OF LOUISIANA. 223 In concurring with the disposition of the French Governnent to treat for the whole of Louisiana, although the western part of it was not embraced by your powers, you were justified by the solid reasons which yo...u give for it; and I am charged by the President to express to you his entire approbation for so doing. This approbation is in no respect precluded by the silence of your commission and instructions. When these were made out, the object of the most sanguine was limited to the establishment of the Missis- sippi as our boundary. It was not presumed, that more could be sought by the United States, either with a chance of success, or perhaps with- out being suspected of greedy ambition, than the island of New Orleans and the two Floridas; it being little doubted that the latter was, or would be comprehended in the cession from Spain to France.
