WASHlNGION, Juiy, ~, lo4o'
Sir: The President of the United States,
no less anxious to terminate than he was to
avoid the present unhappy War with the
Mexican Republic, has determined to make an
effort to accomplish this purpose. He has ac-
cordingly instructed the undersigned, Secre-
tary Of State, to propose through your Excel
iency to the Mexican Government, that ne
gotiations shall forthwith commence for the
| conclusion of peace just and honorable for
both parties. Should this offer lie received
and responded to by the Mexican Govern
ment in the same frank and friendly spirit by
which it has been dictated, he will immediate
~ dispatch an Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary to the City of Mex
leo, with instructions and full power to con-
clude treaty of peace which shall adjust all
the questions in dispute between the two Re-
pubics. If the Mexican Government should
prefer to send Minister to Washington to
conduct the negotiation here, he shall be re-
ccived with kindness and respect, and every
effort shall DE made to accomplish the object
of his mission with the least possible delay.
In the present communication it is deemed
useless, and might prove injurious, to discuss
the causes of the existing war. This might
tend to delay or defeat the restoration of
peace The past is already consigned to his
tory; the future, under Providence, is within
our own power
The occasion may, however, be embraced
to state that the President has ever cherished
the kindest feelings for Mexico, and that one
of the first wishes OF his heart is, that she may
be a powerful and prosperous Republic, in
perpetual amity with the United States
Commodore Conner will transmit this dis
patch for your Excellency to the Governor of
Vera Cruz, under flag of truce and you
are respectfully invited to adopt the same
channel for communicating your answer
laval myself Of this occasion to offer your
Excelency the assurance of my most distin-
guished consideration.

In the two cases to which have referred,
the special purpose of the appropriation did
not appear on the face Of the law, as this
might have defeated the object; neither, for
the same reason, in my opinion, ought it now
to be stated
