[Footnote 63: Containing information relative to the necessity of

American vessels abroad.]
WASHINGTON, _March 9, 1840_.
_To the Senate_:
In addition to information already communicated in compliance with the
resolutions of the Senate of the 17th January last, I think it proper
to transmit to the Senate copies of two letters, with inclosures, since
received from the governor of Maine, and of a correspondence relative
thereto between the Secretary of State and the British minister.
