SON.

Washington, _December 20, 1830_.
_To the Senate of the United States:_

In compliance with the resolution of the Senate of the 16th instant,
calling for certain papers relative to the negotiation of the treaty
between the United States and Turkey now before the Senate, I
communicate the inclosed report of the Secretary of State, accompanied
by the documents and containing the information requested.

ANDREW JACKSON.

_December 29, 1830_.
_To the Senate of the United States:_

I submit to the consideration of the Senate two treaties--one of peace,
the other of cession--concluded at Prairie du Chien on the 10th and 15th
July, 1830, by commissioners duly authorized on the part of the United
States and by deputations of the confederated tribes of Indians residing
on the Upper Mississippi.

ANDREW JACKSON.

_December 30, 1830_.
_To the Senate of the United States:_

A vacancy having arisen in the office of brigadier in consequence of the
removal of General John Nicks from the Territory of Arkansas to
Cantonment Gibson, I nominated at your last session William Montgomery
to be general of the second brigade of militia of said Territory. By
this communication I desire to correct the Journal of the Senate and my
message of the 22d of April, 1830, so as to exclude the idea that
General Nicks was removed from office.

ANDREW JACKSON.

Washington, _December 31, 1830_.
_To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States_:

I transmit herewith to Congress a copy of a correspondence which lately
passed between Major-General Von Scholten, His Danish Majesty's
governor-general of his West India possessions and special minister to
the United States, and Mr. Van Buren, Secretary of State, concerning the
regulation of the commercial intercourse between those possessions and
the United States, which comprehends the propositions that General Von
Scholten made to this Government in behalf of his Sovereign upon that
subject and the answers of the Secretary of State to the same, the last
showing the grounds upon which this Government declined acceding to the
overtures of the Danish envoy.

This correspondence is now submitted to the two Houses of Congress in
compliance with the wish and request of General Von Scholten himself,
and under the full persuasion upon my part that it will receive all the
attention and consideration to which the very friendly relations that
have so long subsisted between the
