Reparation for the attack on the frigate Chesapeake.
The following Message was received from the President of the United States:
To the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States:
I communicate to Congress copies of a correspondence between the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Great Britain and the Secretary of State, relative to the aggressions committed by a British ship of war on the United States frigate Chesapeake, by which it will be seen that that subject of difference between the two countries is terminated by an offer of reparation, which has been acceded to.
JAMES MADISON.
