DEPARTMENT OF STATE.
| Washington, March 10, 1S45.(
The Undersigned, Secretary of State os
the United States, has received the potc Of
ersf Almonte, The Envoy Extraordina-


u ai Minister Plenipotentary Of The
Mexlcan republic, Of the 9Th inst, adj
dressed to his predecessor, the Hon. John
Z. Calhoun, protesting in the name of his
government against the resolution of the
late Congress for annexing Tcxas to the
United States, and he has snbmi,ted the
saine to The President K
In answer, the undersignoli u instructed
TO say, that having received Inc sanction
both Of the Legislative and Executive De-
partment of the Government, it is now ire
vocably decided, SO far as the u. States
are concerned. Nothing but the refusal
OF Texas to ratify the terms and conditions
on which her admission depends, can de-
feat this object. II is, therefore, too late
at present 10 reopen q discussion which
has already been exhausted, and again to
prove that Texas has long since achieved
her independence of Mexico, and now
stands before the world, both de lure and
de fdcto, as sovereign and independent
State amid the family of nations. Sus-
tanning this character, and having mani
Tested stronge desire to become one of
the members of our Confederacy, neither
Mexico nor any other nation will have
just cause oicomplaint against the United
States for admitting her into the Union.


The President nevertheless regrets that
the government Of Mexico should have
taken offence at these proceedings, and he
earnestly trusts thatit may hereafter be
disposed to view them in more favorable
and friendly light. Whilst entering upon
the duties Of the Presidential office, he
cheerfuly declares in advance, that his
most strenuous efforts shall be devoted to
the amicable adjustment of every cause
Of complaint between the two governments,
and to the cultivation Of the kindest and
most friendly relations bctween the sister
Republics.


The undersigned has the honor 10 trans
nit TO General Almonfe his passport &C.
cording TO his request, and to assure him
Of his distinguished consideration and 70.
gard. (Signed) JAMES BUCHANAN.
To the Brigadier General,


DoN. t. N. ALMoSTE, &c. &c. sc.
