_Washington, December 23, 1824_.
The Secretary of State, to whom has been referred a resolution of the
House of Representatives of the 26th of May last, requesting that the
President of the United States would lay before that House at the
then next session, as early as the public interest would permit, the
correspondence which might be held with the Government of France prior
to that time on the subject of injuries sustained by citizens of the
United States since the year 1806, has the honor of reporting to the
President copies of the documents requested by that resolution.
