”MESSAGE PROM TIIE PRESIDENT.

"To the Senate of the United States,—ln answer to the
resolution of the Senate of the 13th instant, requesting to be
informed ' whether a messenger has been sent to Mexico
with a view to obtain her consent to the treaty with Texas,
and, if so, to communicate to the Senate a copy of the dis-
patches of which he is bearer, and a copy of instructions
given the said messenger, and also to inform the Senate
within what time said messenger is expected to return,' I
have to say that no messenger has been sent to Mexico in
order to obtain her assent to the treaty with Texas, it not
being regarded by the executive as in any degree requisite
to obtain such consent in order (should the Senate ratify the
treaty) to perfect the title of the United States to the ter-
ritory thus acquired—the title to the same being full and per-
fect without the assent of a third Power. The executive has
negotiated with Texas as an independent Power of the world,
long since recognised as such by the United States and other
Powers, and as subordinate in all her rights of full sovereignty
to no other Power. _

" A messenger has been dispatched to our Minister at
Mexico, as bearer of the dispatch already communicated to
the Senate, and which is to be found in the letter addressed
to Mr. Green, and forms part of the documents ordered
confidentially to be printed for the use of the Senate. That
dispatch was dictated by a desire to preserve the peace of the
two countries, by denying to Mexico all pretext for assum-
ing a belligerent attitude to the United States, as she had
threatened to do in the event of the annexation of Texas to
the United States, by the dispatch of her Government com-
municated by me to Congress at the opening of its present
session. The messenger is expected to return before the 15th
of June next, but he may be detained to a later day. The
recently-appointed envoy from the United States to Mexico
will be sent so soon as the final action is had on the question
of annexation, at which time, and not before, can his instruc-
tions be understandingly prepared,
" Washington, May 15, 1844." " JOHN TYLER."
The Galveston Cirilian, of the Ist ult., which seems to be
well acquainted with the progress and condition of the an-
nexation treaty, intimates that the warlike preparations
directed by the President of the United States are in fulfil-
ment of conditions required by Texas before she would con-
sent to negotiate for annexation.

DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAIL.
THE HAGUE, JUNE 11.—His Majesty the Emperor of
Russia arrived here yesterday afternoon, accompanied by his
Majesty the King and the Prince of our Royal Family, who
had been to Helvoetsluys to meet him. This morning there
was a very brilliant review of the troops of our garrison. The
Emperor of Russia, the King, the Prince of Orange, and
Prince Alexander, followed by a numerous staff, arrived in
the field on horseback, and rode along the front -of the line,
where they were welcomed with, loud acclamations of the
troops. The Queen and the Princess of Orange were in an
open carriage, and the weather being extremely fine there
was a great multitude of spectators. The troops executed
various evolutions with great precision and readiness,
to which the Emperor paid the greatest attention, and ex-
pressed his entire satisfaction. Many foreigners, among
whom were several distinguished officers, expressed their ad-
miration of the appearance and discipline of our troops.
Accounts concerning the Imperial family, received from
St. Petersburgh, obliged the Emperor to shorten his stay here,
and he left the Hague to-day at two o'clock, to return to his
dominions.
BRUSSELS, JUNE B.—The King and Queen, Prince Augustus
and Princess Clementine of Saxe Coburg, will leave Brussols
on Tuesday for the King's country-seat at Ardenne, where
the Royal family will spend some time.
We are assured that the negotiations between our post-
offie and that of London for the daily transmission of mails
by steamers, between Ostend and Dover, are nearly concluded.
A principal clerk in the department of Public Works
(Post-office division) will soon proceed to London, with in-
structions to put the last hand to the treaty which is to be
made on the important subject. Thus, we hope, that we
shall have very shortly a daily and rapid- communication be-
tween England and Belgium, which has long been called for.
BRUSSELS, JUNE 10.—The Chamber of Representatives is
now nearly at the end of the whole discussion of the tariff of
differential duties, and the various amendments and additions
