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.?
This force, aided by the |<orttons of the dragoon
regiments that would bo ^tattooed in .
that quarti t, and tlmse of the regular army
alrendy tb< rc, sue (ittmid amply sufficient {
or the protocuon of the tnmiicr near to be:

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. Should a necessity t
irise, the volunteer Brigade fiom East
renncssec w ill he ordered to the Western j
rontier as soon as their service can be j ?
lispenscd with where they now ore cut- r
doyrd. j f
1 would barely add further, that the I ^

to the requisition of General Gaines,
