The above letters from the War Denart-! meat having been enclosed to the President ' by llie Governor, the toUowiug was received in answer: Hermitage, "Aug. G, 183G. Sir:?I have received your letters of the 29th uSt and the 4th instant, accompaniedby the copies of communications which were addressed to you on the 4th of May, and the 25th July, by the Secretary of War, and -ilso accompanied" by your Proclamation of fhe20ib founded on the requisition made by Genera! ^ ? 4 .t rvrt.i r t l_ . uaines, ocaring aaie mc^uui 01 judo lasi.? The documents referred to in the communication to you of the 25th till, from the War Department, bare not jet been received. The obligations of oar treaty with Mexico, as well as the general principles which govern our intercourse with, foreign powers, require us to maintain a strict neutrality in tbc contest which now agitates 'a portion of that Republic. So long as Mexico fulfils her duties to us as they are defined by the treaty, and violates none ol the rights which arc secured by it to our citizens, any act on tlie part of the Government of tlic United States, which would tend to (osier a spirit of resis UIICC 1U HIV gVTCIlliiiliii auu nuaKisi Jpay be their character or form, when admini-turcd within her own limits and jurisdiction, would be unauthorized and highly improper. A scrupulous sense of these obligations has prevented me thus far from doing any thiug which can authorize the suspicion 1 that our government is unmindful of them, and I hope to be equally cautious and circumspect in all my future conduct. It is in rc-1 fcrcnce to these obligations that the requisition ol Gen. Gaines in the present instance must be considered; and unless there is a strong necessity for it, it should not be sane- j tioncd. Should this necessity not be manliest,' when it is well known that the disposition to befriend the Tcxians is a common feeling with i the citizens of the United States, it is obvi- j oos that that requisition may furnish a reason ; to Mexico for supposing that the government ! of ibo United States may be induced, by inadequate caoscs, to overstep the lines of the neutrality which it proteases to maintain, j Belore I k>U Washington, Gen. Gaines intimated to the Department of War that some indications of hostilities from the Indians on i"? wMintn frnntirr had bem made, and that if il became necessary, ho would make a call for lite militia, lie had also in lor mod the department of hi* ill health, and a*kcd for a furlough to enable him to risit the White Sulphur Springs. I directed the Secretary of War to grant him the lurlough, and to inform him of the apportionment which had been marie of the 10,000 militia under the recent | roluntrcr act; and if the emergency should ? artse which uould make it necessary to i?-< crcaw.11lie force uud< r his command, thai a: thousand volunteers in Arkansas, nnd another in Missouri, raised agreeably totbisacr, u ,uld > be enrolled and held ready Tor the service.?

AAlimuMtAil toil! kss I IOTI IU1I IUV KNVC 1IWIC VUUUKIWVV W HI UV I insufficient, and I can do therefore junction ; a at the present time. To aancuoo that requisition for the reasons which accompany it, j would warrant the belief thai it eras done to i aid Texas, and not from a desire to prevent an j infringement of our tcrritotiai or national' rights. 1 deeply regret that the Tennessee Vo iuMtccra, trliese prowess and pitriotisro! 4re displayed so promptly on ail occasions that threaten the ncace or safety of their beloved country, hare been called out on this occasion without proper con* -ideraliun. They can for the present only be mustered into the srrtirc and dis-,| charged. If there arc lunds appropriated om of which they cart be paid, an order 1 l<* this elfert will be gircn. The lea thousand volunteers euuiorizeu 1( under the laic act of Congress are inten- i ded for one year's service, sod must be ' employed to meet all necessary calls for ', the defence of our frontier borders.? j Should the occassion arise for a greater < number on the Western frontier, the call ;1 would be made on Ohio, Kentncky, In- j ^ diana. and Illinois. There is, however,1 no information to justify lite apprehension r i?f hostilities, to any serious extent, from ' he Western Indians.
