FRANKLIN PIERCE.

[The same message was also addressed to the Speaker of the House of

Representatives.]

WASHINGTON, _April 27, 1834_.

_To the Senate and House of Representatives_:

I transmit to Congress a copy of a correspondence between the Secretary

of State and Her Britannic Majesty's minister accredited to this

Government, and between the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the

Treasury, relative to the expediency of further measures for the safety,

health, and comfort of immigrants to the United States by sea. As it is

probable that further legislation may be necessary for the purpose of

securing those desirable objects, I commend the subject to the

consideration of Congress.
