_To the House of Representatives of the United States_:
I transmit to the House of Representatives copies of such documents
referred to in the message of the 17th ultimo as have been prepared
since that period. They present a full view of the operations of our
troops employed in the Seminole war who entered Florida.
The residue of the documents, which are very voluminous, will be
transmitted as soon as they can be prepared.

I lay before the Senate, for their consideration, a convention, signed
at London on the 20th of October last, between the United States and
