It is submitted to the wisdom of Congress to
determine whether any further act of legislation may be necessary or
expedient to meet the emergency which these transactions may produce.

Washington,
_February 8, 1827_
_To the Senate of the United States_:
I transmit to the Senate, for their advice with regard to its
ratification, a treaty between the United States and the Mexican
Confederation, signed by the plenipotentiaries of the respective
Governments on the 10th of July last. It will be seen by its terms that
if ratified by both parties the ratifications are to be exchanged at
this city on or before the 10th day of next month. The ratification on
the part of the Government of Mexico has not yet been received, though
it has probably before this been effected. To avoid all unnecessary
delay the treaty is now communicated to the Senate, that it may receive
all the deliberation which, in their wisdom, it may require, without
pressing upon their time at a near approach to the close of their
session.
