ced Immediately after the signing of the Treaty by my
noble fend neal mo Without. If course. explaining
to your oshps any Of the steps that have been taken
ia Inc proafess Of that negotiation. wish 10 draw
your attention 10 the last act OF the late President before
his retiring from office. The SENATE OF the u. States
haviHg addressed MIR. Tyler A. long ago as the month
Vt December, requesting him TO communicate with them
and inform them u the progress ol this negotiation.
Mr.. Tyler in answer, which was not delivered until
the l9lh oi February, states IN my opinion as this
negotiation Is sill pending. the in1rmaton sought Tor
cannot be communicated without prejudice to the public
service, but deem 1t proper 10 add TINT considerable
progress has been made in the negotiation, which ha,
been carried on III very amlrahe spirit between the
Two governments, and that there /, 10 hope that
it may be brought 10 a close within short period
have delayed answering the resolution Of the Senate,
under the expectation expressed IN my annual message,
that the negotiation would be terminated beiofc the close
Of the present session. and that the information called
for by that resolution might be communicated" | am
bound say thai think the lac President took
what too favorable view Of The .iate Of the negotia
ton when he made That answer TO the Senate. A. the
SAME Tine u, an indication Of friendly feeling aud of
desire 10 6flug anicabIe termination, such
declare ion 81 opinion must be highly satisfactory. My
lords ia anlgh after the delivery Of thi, answer 10

Inaugural speech referred u by my nnble friend wish
