Secre- tary of State of the United 7 Slates, of the723tl, of August, in renlr to the nro-l position which he had the honor to sub .ut, lie aiiiT tu tile in v mit on the 4th of the same month, to negotiate a treaty for the annexation of Texas to the United States. ' The undersigned wa aware that, in recognising th 4iu4 tpendenee of Texas, the rjuestion of right was not taken in to ctinsidcratiim br the Government of the United States.' It was with a pro per understanding of the settled policy of 'this Government in similar cases, that the claim of Texd to the justice of a recognition wa placed by his col league a; d himself upon her actual ex istent e us an independent Power, and the impossibility of a recoaquest ut the hands of Mexico. Although, by the issue ,if that negotiation,- the duration oi laci was SAttsiactoi iiy tietermmeU, .r r... e :. i . . the miHicniesentations of llie late en voy extraordinary and minister pleni potentiary of Mexico, to preface the (imposition fur the annexation of Tex as to the United Slates with a plain statement of the causes which let! to, and the events which grew out of her separation from MeTico, so conclusive ly showing that they ran never be re uttitedj and, ; for a additional reason, which he will presently show, (he un dersigned adheres to the opinion that the simple narrativejof facts which the honorable Secjirjrj)fedecJij)ei examining into, cannot be regarded as irrelevant in n proposition for the an nexation of Texas Jo. the United States. The venerable exTresident General Jaelrsofrwaso M rongly4mpfesed 4 Uh a belief, at one time ilurin Ins admin istration, that the negotiation then pending for the acquisition of Texas would be brought to a speedy and fa vorable issuer that lieIentTereiTthclDf lice of Governor of the Territory of Texas to the late Governor II. G. J5ur ton, of North Carolina, to be entered upon so soon as the treaty of cession should be completed. See a publica tion on the subjei t of Governor Burr ton's appointment. The same princi ples, it appears to the undrrsgncd, were involved in the T negotiation for the acquisition of Texas from Mexico, previously to the recognition of the in dependence of the latter by Spain, which arefnow presented by the ques tion of the annexation of Texas to the Umtetttates previously to. the recog nition of Tier ihdeBdeiceby'Mexico; and had his excellency the President of ihe United States entertained any incl nation to negotiate a treaty for the annexation of Texas, a hope which had been fondly cherished, as he had ex pressed a determination to carry out the measures and conform to the .gen eral policy of his venerable predeces sor, it does ap4iearto jhe'undefsignd, but with distinguished deference to the honorable Mr. Forsyth's opinions to the contrary, that neither a sense of duty nor ;'the setnedpbriIcy of lhis Gov eminent, during the adminstration of the venerable ex-President, would have preventend an examination into "$e-5eet companding the proposition. That biief compendium, which is believed to be correct, will show "tliaOTiere is as little prospect of the recovery of Texas by Mexico at this time as there was of i . eaa --t. O-'- -. tne reconqtiest tn aiesico oy npam, at the time that General Jackson belie veil that the charge d'affaires (Mr. Butter J of ihit.Government " bad-succeeded in negotiating the acquisition of lexas. If the act of the annexation ot Texas would involve the United states in a war with Mexico at this time, the un dersigned is at a toss to perceive why a similar result was not anticipated with Spam in event ol a cession ol Texas by . Mexico. Texas asked no thing more ot the United Mates, in proposiriiftffTieeotiate for her annexa tion, than the United States had pre" viously desired of Mexico, when Gen eral Jackson was at the head of this Government, for Mexico was then as much at war with Spain as Texas now is with Mexico) and it is believed that as friendly trtaty and commercial re lations existed between Spain and the United States at that time as are now maintained between (he United States and Mexico. In addition to the fact that this Gov eminent, when administered by the sage of the Hermitage; proposed the acquisition of Texas by purchase from Mexcio, many years belore the recog nition of her independence by Spain the undersigned most respectlully in vites the attention of the honorable the Secretary of State to the report of the House of Representative of the State ol Mississippi, contained in a news paper which he herewith presents. That report, which is said to have been adopted unanimously, alludes in strong terms to the subject of the right of this Government to admit Texas into itsTall she could bestow and jet declined 'confederacy; and the undersigned re- the offer, to coin plain of her on the Ier tUos particularly, inathemay U8talned T n,gh- uthontr. when I ue assures me oecreiaryoi niaieot me United States, that, in submitting the propusitiott of annexation, it was far fruiii Ins intention lo ask tfie Govern- i mem ol llie f the Uniied Statest6"acce3e'1o 8tr.ttC'eJ MnJUst P'P- .: " - "n,df rs,f "f d ?T"Tf - . of . .of ,he .Un!,e,, States that he could not know. ingly consent to be the medium of pre senting any proposition asking of the United States a disregard of just prin ciples. The honorable Mr. Forsrth will L pardon the undersigned for expressing lh'6 opinion which "appear a Tii" Itiiri on tleniable that a sovereign Power has as perfect a right to dispose of the whole of itself, and a second I'ower to acquire it, as it has to dispose of only a part of itself, and a second Power to acrjuire that part onlj; and that the acquisition of the whole territory of a sovereign Power coultl no more ba objected to ua the ground of constitutional right, than the acquisition of a part uf that tfiriio ry on y.. Tho mtterial difference al luded to by Mr. Forsyth, between the annexation or independent Texas, by tarv act, anu tne acq sition oilUu rolomal provinces of Lou isiana and Florida, by the acl of tlieie respective Governments, is acknowl eilzi'd. But the difference is conceiv ed to be ulioxeiher in favor of the former, for (lie reason that the annexa tion of Texas would , be. an act of free will and choice on the part of the Gov eminent and people, who own, and Hctully occnpjU We very lerritnTy pro posed to be transferred, while the tat ter would seem lo have been the result of an arbitrary right on the part of the wefFopoiitait (jovernment,- to dispose of the territorial possessions ceiled by them, without regard to the wishes of the inhabitants residing thereon. After the assurance of the honorable Mr FoMytHrhat-sei,erdiT a reverence lor consistency, leu ins Government no alternative in leading the way in recognising the Independ ence of Texas, the undersigned con fesses some surprise at the intimation of Mr. Forsyth, that the circumstance of her having been ,irr recognised by the United states, should jn any man ner" influence the foreign intercourse of Texas. However much the Govern ment of Texas may be disposed to en courage tne most iricmiiy relations with (he Government of the United States, the undersigned assures the honorable Secretary of State, that the Government of lexas does nt consid er that any particular foreign policy t . - i i was implied or maue oinuing uuou nei by the circumstance of her independence-having-been first recognised.. by tteGovernmenFoT flie" United States. The representative of Texas, in their interchanges with foreign Powers, will not accept the recogintion of her in dependence, unless it is unconditional in this respect. In all t'icir negotia tions and treaties with foreign Powers, ihe be3t interests ol their own bov ernmcnt and people will doutless be consulted, and must indicate .the poli cy wh'di they will be directed to adopt. With even the same permanent policy in its commercial interchanges with the United lStater;vhielr"tnar exist -wfrh the most favored nation, the under- signed cannot guaranty for his Govern ment that any advantages accrue lucre- ihr Uai ted $tatesTtrt4t that, that gret interest is mainly sus tained in ihe Uniied States, by the protection afforded by high duties a gainst the competition of similar inter ests in foreign nations, where lab.tr and tl'C facilities for manufacturing are more tvadable, and at cheaper rates Such Wing ;the vase. it is apparent lha t,7 even should 110 detriment accrue to the ; Slates from lite vicinity ot 'Texas as an independent nation, certainly no ad vantages affecting that interest can be anticipated.' Ihe apprehension ol tne honorable Mr. Forsyth, that the refusal of this Government to negotiate for treaty of annexation, thereby declining all the comntcicial and other advantages which would be secured by that mea sure, may induce an attempt on tne part of the Government of Texas to ex tend its commercial relations elsewhere on terms most favorable to its own welfare and prosperity is perfectly natural; but the undersigned assures Mr. Forsyth that such endeavors will not proceed from any unkind feelings to the Government and peonle of the United -States; and he would take this occasion to reiterate the ftiendly dis position "of the Government and peo ple of Texas towards the Government and people of the United States, which he had the honor to commanicate in his note of the 4th of August. Should, however, the foreign commercial and other re-'ations of the republic of Texan necessarily become such asseriously to affect the interests of the United States, or any portion thereof, the un dersigned conceives that it.woudd be unreasonable for the Government and peoj'e irho had been freely proffered grounaor iooktnsto her own interest i imaitlj. Texas has generously of fered to merge her national sovereignty in a domestic one, and to become a SoMtLtoeBtaart-m'll, wrtat jwtifetlttr,. cy. me reiusm oi tnts uuvernment toie'eept screen her from the imputation of wit fully injuring the great interests of tho United States, should such a result, ac crue from any commercial or other re lations which she may find it necessa ry or expedient to enter into with for eign nations. Should it be found necessary or ex pedient hereafter, tor the proper pro motion of the interests of her own citi zens, to lay high' duties upon the. cot ton-bigin " si extensively, manu factured in the .Western States, and upon the pork and beef and bread stuff, so abundantly produced in that such as would amount to an almost total prohibition of, the intro duction of those articles into the coun try, much as her Government and pco- would regret the necessity ! the adoption of such a policy, she would be exculpated from the slightest imputa tion of liTairic Tor faking care" oTReH' own welfare and prosperity after hav- inbeg.a.J.c.f9s Union. ; -7""fAvitavaljd-mi-e The efforts whtch the Government of the undors'tjjned is , making to op -n a commercial intercourau with Great Untaiu anu,-Jeranceit.-.is , believed. will succeed. Apart from tha dispo sition ol those two i'oweri to. avail tlrcmselvea of the great advantages which must result to every nation with which Texas may form 'ultimate com mercial Tidiitionsj-it is tielievd that they, as well as the United State, cherish a liberal sympathy for a people wlw have encountered the most cruel treatmcntat ihehandsnifMxico a nation which has so little regarded the laws of civilited countries, in prosecuting a savage war of exter mination againlt tho citizens of the that too, against a people who proutlly claim the realms of Britain and France asthe homes of their ances try. And the undersigned express es a belief that -the crowm-d heads ol England and France, and their ma jesties' ministers, will not be without some feelings of gratification when t-iey become apprized of the sccessfui civil and military career, although on a limited scale it is true, of the dc- j rscendants of Britislk and French pro genitors tn Texas. General Houston-,' the President of the republic, is a na tive of the United Slates, but de scended from English and . Irish pa rentage. He commanded at San Ja cinto; in' one of the best battles, it is supposed, which have . beenfoughl since the introduction of fire-arms. llie valiant General Mirabeau . La mar, Vice President of Texas, who commanded the calvary in the same light, is likewise a native of the Uni ted States, but claims his descent with pride from the French. And the un dersigned again avows his persuasion that the crowned heads of England anil France, ami their majesties min isters, will not be altogether insensi ble to feelings of sympathy and regard for a people whose Government is headed by individuals boasting their descent from the-listiTrguishcdTaces over which their majesties preside. v Reason would seem to indicate that the foreign policy of Texas will be continue to be. an almost purely ag ricultural country; The agricultu ral interest will claim the almost exclusive attention of the Government. Possibly, from the circumstance of her climate and soil being so well adapt ed to the exowth of hemp,' and the great demand for rope and bagging tn a cotton-growing country, (he man- nfactures ol these solitary articles may be encouraged at an early period, but with these sinU etcrntions. It is not . apprehended that the capital and 1 1 bor of the country can be so profitably employed in any other specie of in dustry as in the planting interest. . On , the other haod.tlic i!ereslt of the Uni- ted States are numerous and greatly diversified) and it is presumed - that it was found necessary to establish such a foreign policy asr jvould best recon cile them and redound to the advan tage of each. ' ' ' -" ' With the most rtgul adherence to whatever is just and right, the Gov ernment of Texas wilt naturally pur-1 sue ,such a course ' of " policy, foreign j anil domestic, as will best conduce to the increase of her' wealth and popu-' lation, and thereby Iter natural power ami consideration. In its intercourse abroad, it will endeavor to bind those markets where her agricultural pro ducts, cotton, sugar, rice, tobacco, iic, will obtain the highest" prices, and where such articles as may . be needed for her home consumption may be produced at the;, lowest rates. If these advantages are nresented in a commercial intercourse with tlio tJni ted States, the undersigned Deed not say that the warm predilection of the Government and people of Texas for the Government and people of the U- i I fti . It a a tercourse as agreeable to the former as it would doubtless bo advantageous to both. The undersigned most respectfully assures, tha honorable Mr. Fursyth, and f!iniup,h4'un lii..exceUeiicy the rresitlent ol tne United States, that the prompt 'ahd'de proposition lor the annexation or Tex as to the United Slates will not be im puted to an unfriendly spirit to the Government and people of Texas.
