I transmit to the House a report from the Secretary of State, together
with the papers relating to the refusal of the French Government to make
provision for the execution of the treaty between the United States and
France concluded on the 4th July, 1831, requested by their resolution of
the 24th instant.
ANDREW JACKSON.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
_Washington, December 27, 1834_.
The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES:
The Secretary of State, to whom has been referred the resolution
of the House of Representatives of the 24th instant, requesting the
President of the United States "to communicate to the House, if not in
his opinion incompatible with the public interest, any communications or
correspondence which may have taken place between our minister at Paris
and the French Government, or between the minister from France to this
Government and the Secretary of State, on the subject of the refusal of
the French Government to make provision for the execution of the treaty
concluded between the United States and France on the 4th July, 1831,"
has the honor of reporting to the President copies of the papers desired
by that resolution.
It will be perceived that no authority was given to either of
the chargés d'affaires who succeeded Mr. Rives to enter into any
correspondence with the French Government in regard to the merits of
the convention, or in relation to its execution, except to urge the
prompt delivery of the papers stipulated for in the sixth article and to
apprise that Government of the arrangement made for receiving payment of
the first installment.
All which is respectfully submitted.
JOHN FORSYTH.
WASHINGTON, _January 5, 1835_.
_To the House of Representatives_:
In answer to the resolution of the House of Representatives passed on
the 24th ultimo, I transmit a report[10] from the Secretary of State upon
the subject.
ANDREW JACKSON.
[Footnote 10: Relating to claims of American citizens upon the Mexican
Government.]
WASHINGTON, _January 6, 1835_.
_To the House of Representatives of the United States_:
In answer to a resolution of the House of Representatives passed on the
27th ultimo, I transmit a report made to me by the Secretary of State on
the subject; and I have to acquaint the House that the negotiation for
the settlement of the northeastern boundary being now in progress, it
would, in my opinion, be incompatible with the public interest to lay
before the House any communications which have been had between the two
Governments since the period alluded to in the resolution.
ANDREW JACKSON.
WASHINGTON, _January 13, 1835_.
_To the House of Representatives_:
