ndence requested by a resolution of the 21st ultimo, relative to the northeastern boundary of the United States. At the last session of Congress I felt it my duty to decline complying with a request made by the House of Representatives for copies of this correspondence, feeling, as I did, that it would be inexpedient to publish it while the negotiation was pending; but as the negotiation was undertaken under the special advice of the Senate, I deem it improper to withhold the information which that body has requested, submitting to them to decide whether it will be expedient to publish the correspondence before the negotiation has been closed. ANDREW JACKSON. WASHINGTON, _June 23, 1836_. _To the Senate of the United States_: In compliance with a resolution of the Senate of the 18th instant, I transmit a report[20] from the Secretary of State, with the papers therewith presented.

ANDREW JACKSON. WASHINGTON, _June 30, 1836_. _To the Senate and House of Representatives_: It becomes my painful duty to announce to you the melancholy intelligence of the death of James Madison, ex-President of the United States. He departed this life at half past 6 o'clock on the morning of the 28th instant, full of years
