MESSAGE

FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. APRIL 20, 1802.

I TRANSMIT you report from the Secretary of State, with the information desired by a resolution of the House of Representatives of the 8th of January, relative to certain spoliations and other proceedings therein referred to. TH: JEFFERSON.

Department of State, April 18, 1802.

THE Secretary of State respectfully reports to the President the information requested by the resolution of the House of Representatives, of the 8th of January last, relative to spoliations, committed on the commerce of the United States, under Spanish authority; and also, relative to the imprisonment of the American consul at Saint Jago de Cuba.

This report has been delayed longer than was wished; but the delay has been made unavoidable by the sickness and absence of the chief clerk in this department, who had partially gone through the necessary researches, and could most readily have completed them.

JAMES MADISON.

Philadelphia, October 10, 1801. SIR,-The situation in which I am placed, as president of an incorporated insurance company, affords me a pretence for addressing the Secretary of State on a subject in which I conceive the honour and interest of the United States are in a considerable degree involved. But as you will probably receive more formal applications on the same subject from other quarters, I shall be the less formal in my communication, considering it merely as an auxiliary which may or may not, be brought into action,
