[44] *Mr. Graham, Secretary of State, to Mr. McCulloch, collector.

Sir: In the absence of the Secretary, I take the liberty of inclosing the copy of a letter to the Chevalier de Onis, which has been communicated by him to this Department, in relation to a military expedition against the Spanish colonies, connected with a vessel in your district, which a person, calling himself General Mina, is said to be preparing at Baltimore. A copy of the letter referred to has been sent to the district attorney, Mr. Glenn, who will, it is presumed, confer with you upon the subject of it.

I have the honor to be, &c.,

JOHN GRAHAM.
