WASHINGTON; _February 7, 1832_.
_To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States_:
A convention having been entered into between the United States and the
King of the French, it has been ratified with the advice and consent of
the Senate; and my ratification having been exchanged in due form on the
2d of February, 1832, by the Secretary of State and the envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the King of the French, it
is now communicated to you for consideration in your legislative
capacity.
You will observe that some important conditions can not be carried into
execution but with the aid of the Legislature, and that the proper
provisions for that purpose seem to be required without delay.
