GOVERNOR'S COMMUNICATION.

To the Ho'Use of Representatives:

IN compliance with an order of the 24th ult., asking for such information relating to the official action of the several agents for the tribe of Passamaquoddy Indians, as could be derived from the accounts by them rendered from the year 1842 to 1852 inclusive, I herewith transmit copies of those accounts.

In reply to that portion of the order which calls for information as to the population of the tribe, I have to say, that by the census taken in 185 L the whole number of the tribe was four hundred and thirty-three; the report of the present agent shows that the whole number in November last, as estimated by him, was four hundred and eight.
