JOHN TYLER.

WASHINGTON, _July 22, 1842_.

_To the House of Representatives of the United States_:

In answer to the resolution of the House of Representatives of the

13th instant, upon the subject of the relations between the United

States and the Republic of Texas, I transmit a report from the Secretary

of State. My last communication to Congress relating to that Republic

was my message of the 30th of March last, suggesting the expediency

of legislative provisions for improving the trade and facilitating

the intercourse by post between the United States and Texas. The

report of the Secretary of State is accompanied by a copy of all the

correspondence between the two Governments since that period which it

would be compatible with the public interest to communicate to the

House of Representatives at this time.
