WASHINGTON, _February 10, 1848_.

In answer to the resolution of the House of Representatives of the 7th
instant, I transmit herewith a report from the Secretary of State.
No communication has been received from Mexico "containing propositions
from the Mexican authorities or commissioners for a treaty of peace,"
except the "counter projet" presented by the Mexican commissioners to
the commissioners of the United States on the 6th of September last,
a copy of which, with the documents accompanying it, I communicated
to the Senate of the United States on the 2d instant. A copy of my
communication to the Senate embracing this "projet" is herewith
