To the Senate and House of Representatives.

I transmit for the consideration of Congress, and with a view to the adoption of such measures in relation to the subject of it as may be deemed expedient, a copy of a note of the 8th instant, addressed to the Secretary of State by the Minister Resident of the Hanseatic Republics accredited to this Government, concerning an International Agricultural Exhibition to be held next summer in the City of Hamburg. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Washington, 9th January, 1863.
