25, 27, 380; _House Doc_, 14 Cong. 2 sess. II. No. 77.
Finally, the presidential message of 1817 (_House Journal_, 15
Cong. 1 sess. p. 11), announcing the issuance of orders to
suppress the Amelia Island establishment, led to two other
committees in both Houses. The House committee under Middleton
made a report with a bill (_Amer. State Papers,

reported a bill.

304, 315, 333, 338, 340, 348, 377, 386, 388, 391, 403, 406;
_House Journal_, 15 Cong. 1 sess. pp. 19, 20, 29, 51, 92, 131,
362, 410, 450, 452, 456, 468, 479, 484, 492, 505.

view of the increased activity of the trade, that it would be
a failure.
[115] Nov. 18, 1818, the part of the presidential message
