M. SÉRURIER,
_Envoy Extraordinary, etc., of the King of the French_:
Official information having been received by the President of the recall
of Mr. Sérurier by his Government, and the papers of the morning having
announced the arrival of a French sloop of war at New York for the
supposed object of carrying him from the United States, the undersigned,
Secretary of State of the United States, tenders to Mr. Sérurier all
possible facilities in the power of this Government to afford to enable
him to comply speedily with the orders he may have received or may
receive.
The undersigned avails himself of the occasion to renew to Mr. Sérurier
the assurance of his very great consideration.
JOHN FORSYTH.
_Mr. Forsyth to Mr. Sérurier_.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

The undersigned, Secretary of State of the United States, informs M.
Sérurier, in reply to his note of this instant, demanding the indication
of an hour for an immediate audience, that he is ready to receive in
writing any communication the minister of France desires to have made
to the Government of the United States.
The undersigned has the honor to offer M. Sérurier the assurances of his
very great consideration,
JOHN FORSYTH.
_Mr. Sérurier to Mr. Forsyth_.
[Translation.]
WASHINGTON, _February 23, 1835_.
Hon. JOHN FORSYTH,
_Secretary of State_.
SIR: My object in asking you this morning to name the hour at which it
would suit you to receive me was in order that I might, in consequence
of my recall as minister of His Majesty near the United States, present
and accredit M. Pageot, the first secretary of this legation, as chargé
d'affaires of the King. This presentation, which, according to usage, I
calculated on making in person, I have the honor, in compliance with the
desire expressed to me by you, to make in the form which you appear to
prefer.
I thank you, sir, for the facilities which you have been kind enough
to afford me in the note preceding that now answered, also of this
morning's date, and which crossed the letter in which I demanded an
interview.
I have the honor to renew to you, sir, the assurance of my high
consideration.
SÉRURIER.
WASHINGTON, _February 28, 1835_.
_To the Senate of the United States_:
I transmit to the Senate of the United States a report[13] of the
Secretary of State, to whom was referred the resolutions of that body
passed on the 2d and 17th days of the present month, together with such
portion of the correspondence and instructions requested by the said
resolutions as could be transcribed within the time that has elapsed
since they were received and as can be communicated without prejudice
to the public interest.
ANDREW JACKSON.
[Footnote 13: Relating to the treaty of indemnity with Spain of
February 17, 1834.]
