LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES.
The undersigned, Charge d'Afiaires al interim
of The United States of America, has the honor
10 inform his Excellencv, ]. NJ. DC BocANEGRA,
Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Government
of the Mexican Republic, that by SPECIAL mes
sengcr he has Just received dispatches from his
Government which direct him to inform that OF
this Republic that there has been signed treaty
for The annexation of Texas to the United States,
by the Plenipotentiares of both Governments;
and that the said treaty would be Immediately
submitted to the Senate for its appreciation.
The President of the United States has directed
the undersigned to accompany this communlca-
ton to the Government of Mexico with the
strongest assurance, that in adopting that mea-
sure, the Government Of the United States had
not been impelled by any sentiments failing in
respect, or of indifference to the honor or dignity
of Mexico and were the Mexican Government
to view it in any other light, it would be subject
of great regret
lie has also directed the undersigned to de-
clare, that the Government of the United States
had found itself forced 10 make this step in its
own proper defence, on account of the policy
adopted by Great Britain relative to the abolition
Il. Ii G. tbe
United States to look with indifference on the ef-
forts of Great Britain to abolish slavery in that
territory. 1t could not also but be aware that
that nation had, in the present condition OF Tex
as, means within its reach amply sufficient TO
consummate its policy, unless impedsd by more
eficacious measures; and il that object were con-
summated, 1t would conduce to state Of affairs
extremely dangerous to the adjacent States and
to the Federal Union. In the view of all this
the Government OF the United States has been
comuelled nv toe necessity of the case, and with
a view to their Constitutional obli9 cations, to take
the step it has adopted. 1t has taken this sep
after full examination of all possible cnnse
quences, Iut nor without the desire and hope that
III, frenk aud enurc manifestation of the csus,
may preserve updrstmbed the harmony existing
between these countries.
The President of the said States has also d.
rcctcd the Undersigned to assure the Government
of Mexico that his de-ire is to arrange ali the
questio"s between the Iu.o countries, which enia
nae from the said treaty, from any other Cause,
in "A manner the most liberal end satisfactory IN
GLIDING the question of boundary. That The
President o! the United States would duly appre-
ciatc the concurrence Of Mexico in this step; Tor,
aside from its respect for Mexico, and It's lively
desire that both countries may continue their
friendly relations, he could not consent that
measure which he believes Can involve the secu-
rty of the Union, should depend on the contin.
eency of previously obtaining the consent Of Mex
leo.
He has, however, taken the precaution, that
the stipulations of the treaty shall be as unobec
tionable as possible 10 Mexico; and. among
others, he has omitted to specify as to the limits
of Texas, in order that the dividing line might be
question for future friendly and full discussion,
AVID be arranged conformably to the respective
rights. security and interests of both countries
The undersigned, &c.
