I transmit herewith, for the information of Congress, a report of the
Secretary of State, respecting tonnage duties levied at Martinique and
Guadaloupe on American vessels and on French vessels from those islands
to the United States.
ANDREW JACKSON.
WASHINGTON CITY, _December 21, 1831_.
_Gentlemen of the Senate_:
Since my message of the 7th instant, transmitting the award of the King
of the Netherlands, I have received the official communication, then
expected, of the determination of the British Government to abide by the
award. This communication is now respectfully laid before you for the
purpose of aiding your deliberations on the same subject.
ANDREW JACKSON.
WASHINGTON, _December 29, 1831_.
_To the House of Representatives_:
In compliance with a resolution of the House of Representatives of the
19th instant, requesting the President of the United States to
communicate to it "the correspondence between the governor of Georgia
and any Department of this Government, in the years 1830 and 1831, in
relation to the boundary line between the State of Georgia and the
Territory of Florida," I transmit herewith a communication from the
Secretary of State, with copies of the papers referred to. It is proper
to add, as the resolutions on this subject from the governor and
legislature of Georgia were received after the adjournment of the last
Congress, and as that body, after having the same subject under
consideration, had failed to authorize the President to take any steps
in relation to it, that it was my intention to present it in due time to
the attention of the present Congress by special message. This
determination has been hastened by the call of the House for the
information now communicated, and it only remains for me to await the
action of Congress upon the subject.
ANDREW JACKSON.
WASHINGTON, _January 5, 1832_.
_To the Senate_:
I herewith lay before the Senate, for their advice and consent as to the
ratification of the same, a treaty between the United States and the
principal chiefs and warriors of the mixed band of Seneca and Shawnee
Indians living on the waters of the Great Miami and within the
territorial limits of the county of Logan, in the State of Ohio, entered
into on the 30th day of July, 1831; and also a treaty between the United
States and the chiefs, headmen, and warriors of the band of Ottaway
Indians residing within the State of Ohio, entered into on the 30th of
August, 1831.
ANDREW JACKSON.
WASHINGTON, _January 10, 1832_.
_To the Senate and House of Representatives_:
I herewith transmit a report made by the Secretary of State on the
subject of a commercial arrangement with the Republic of Colombia, which
requires legislative action to carry it into effect.
ANDREW JACKSON.
WASHINGTON, _January 12, 1832_.
_To the Senate of the United States_:
