_To the House of Representatives of the United States_:

In compliance with a resolution of the House of Representatives

requesting the President to "cause that House to be informed whether the

commissioners appointed to lay out the continuation of the Cumberland

road from Wheeling, in the State of Virginia, through the States of

Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois to the Mississippi River, have completed

the same, and, if not completed, the reason why their duties have been

suspended," I transmit a report from the Secretary of the Treasury,

which furnishes the information desired.
