 "Mr. Samuel Harrison Smith (Margaret Bayard) speaks of the Misses
Onis as receiving considerable attention at an "intollerable squeeze" (a recep-
tion) in her First Forty Years of WaMIFato SBooiety, Gaillard Hunt, ed.
(New York, 1906), p. 189. But the Onis family appear to have been general
inactive in society. The illness of Ons wife was no doubt one reason. Another
was perhaps the usual delay in the receipt of his salary, of which the minister
continually complained; although Erring, in speaking of the corruption of the
Spanish court,,alleged (without giving any substantiation) that Onis had
"helped himself and was sa ito be a partner of Oevallo in draining the pub-
le treasury. See Erving to Monroe, August 31, 1816, in D.S., Despatches,
Spain, XII.
 Onis to Luyando (Spanish foreign minister), June 8,1814, in A.G.L, Indi-
ferente general, 1608. Onie' interest in such an objective was in part based on
his conviction of the illegality of the Louisiana Purhase. That view was up-
ported by Henry Adams, but has been upheld by few sinee his time. See Henry
Adams, history of th United States (New York, 1889-1891), f1:56.
 Monroe to Erving, October 6, 1814, in D.8, United States Ministers, In-
structions, VII I doubt that Ons was effectively person no gratm for other
than political causes.

 My own rough estimate, difficult to make because of the present distrib-
tion of his correspondence among many different bundles, and in various
archives.
 "Noroia, who was Portuguese, originally spelled his name "Noronha." A
sizable ile of correspondence relating to his connection with Toledo and his
later services, with several issues of Obserw dor, is in A.H.N, Est., 5555,
ENpediente 60.
 Ons to Monroe, December 80, 1815, in A.S.P., F., IV:422. A fairly com-
plete file of the notes which were enhanged by the two governments was sub-
mitted to Congress, and appeared in the State Papers, with the Adams-Oas
