_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.
