I transmit herewith, for the consideration of the Senate with a view to its ratification, a treaty of commerce and navigation between the United States and Portugal, signed at Lisbon on the 26th day of August, 1840, and certain letters relating thereto, of which a list is annexed.
With all the powers of the world our relations are those of honorable peace.
In further compliance with a resolution of the Senate passed December 30, 1839, I herewith submit reports* from the Secretary of the Navy and the Postmaster-General, together with a supplemental statement from the Secretary of the Treasury, and the correspondence annexed.
for such legislative action on the part of Congress as may be necessary to carry the engagements of the United States under the convention into full effect.
