The Message and documents were read, and one thousand copies thereof
ordered to be printed for the use of the two Houses of Congress.
In compliance with the resolution of the Senate, so far as
the same is not complied with by the report of the Secretary
of the Treasury of the 20th instant, the Secretary of State
respectfully reports, that neither the whole nor any portion of
the two millions of dollars appropriated by the act of Congress
of the 21st of February, 1806, "for defraying any extraordinary
expenses attending the intercourse between the United States
and foreign nations," was ever authorized or intended to be
applied to the use of either France, Holland, or any country
other than Spain; nor otherwise to be applied to Spain than
by treaty with the Government thereof, and exclusively in
consideration of a cession and delivery to the United States of
the territory held by Spain, eastward of the river Mississippi.
All which is respectfully submitted.
