More from Millard Fillmore
I transmit a report from the Secretary of State, to whom the resolution was referred.
Having in my message to Congress at the opening of the session adverted to the pending negotiations between this Government and that of Great Britain relative to the fisheries and commercial reciprocity with the British American Provinces
For these reasons I have deemed it proper to submit the whole matter to Congress, for such action as they may deem best.
