Washington,
_May 16, 1828_.
_To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States_:

the vessels of the United States and their cargoes have been abolished
since the 15th of April, 1826. I recommend to the consideration of
Congress a legislative provision whereby the reciprocal application of
the same principle may be extended to Prussian vessels and their cargoes
which may have arrived in the ports of the United States from and after
that day.
