To the Senate of the United States: I herewith transmit a letter from the Secretary of State, accompanied by copies of the correspondence asked for by your resolution of the 12th instant. JOHN TYLER. WASHINGTON, December 23, 1844. DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Washington, December 19, 1844. The Secretary of State has received from the President the resolution of the Senate of the 12th instant, requesting him "to communicate to the Senate (if not incompatible with the public interest) copies of all the cor- respondence, not heretofore transmitted to the Senate, which may have taken place between the Department of State and the present minister of the United States to France, and between that minister and the Govern- ment of France, relating to the proposed annexation of Texas to the United States;" and, in answer thereto, has the honor to transmit herewith extracts from the instructions of this department to Mr. King, dated April 23, 1844, and from a despatch dated the 26th of August, 1844. These include all the instructions given to Mr. King in relation to the subject re- ferred to in the resolution. The main object of his mission was to strength- en and confirm those friendly relations which have so long subsisted be- tween the two countries; and, in the fulfilment of this purpose, it was left to his discretion as he was, from his position in the Government, fully ac- quainted with the proposed measure of annexation in all its bearings- to adopt such course as might seem to him best calculated to prevent any misunderstanding in regard to so important a subject.
