I transmit herewith a report of the Secretary of War, prepared in compliance with a resolution of the House of Representatives of the 26th ultimo.
It affords me much satisfaction to say that it was produced by no carelessness or inattention on the part of the officers and crew of the Princeton, but must be set down as one of those casualties which to a greater or less degree attend upon every service.
With equal, if not greater, propriety might the United States demand of other governments to surrender their numerous and valuable acquisitions.
I regard the question involved in these proceedings as one of vast magnitude.
