The reports Of the Secretaries Of the Navy
and War are herewith transmitted. These
reports. though lengthy. are scarcely more
than brief abstracts Of the very numerous and
extensive transactions and operations con.
Quoted through these Departments, nor could
give q summary Of them here, upon any
principle which would admit Of its being
much shorter than the reports themselves.
/, therefore. content myself with laying the
reports before you and asking your attention
to them.

which embraces the revenue from oil the

if he does not succeed in capturing all his
