WASHINGTON, _March 14, 1862_.
_To the Senate and House of Representatives_:
I submit to Congress the accompanying copy of a correspondence between
the Secretary of State, the Danish chargé d'affaires, and the Secretary
of the Navy, concerning the case of the bark _Jorgen Lorentzen_, a
Danish vessel seized on her voyage from Rio Janeiro to Havana by the
United States ship _Morning Light_ and subsequently released. I recommend
the appropriation of the amount of the award of the referees.
