To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States:
I transmit, for the information of Congress, copies of a correspondence between John Mitchell, agent for American prisoners of war at Halifax, and the British admiral commanding at that station.
I transmit, for the like purpose, copies of a letter from Commodore Rodgers to the Secretary of the Navy,
JAMES MADISON.
