The strong desire to establish peace with Mex ico, on libeCal and honorable terms, and the midi ness of this , government to regulate and adjust our boundary, and nther causes of difference with that power, on such fair and equitable principles as would'lead to perManent relations of the most friendly nature, induced me in September to seek the reopening of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Every measure on our part had for its object the furtherance of these desired re sults. In communicating to Congress a succinct statement of the injUries which we had: suffered from Mexico, and which have been accumulating during . a period - of more than twenty years, every expression that could tend to infhune the people of Mexico, or defeat or delay a pacific result, we carefully avoided. An envoy of the United States .repaired to Mexico - with full powers to adjust ev ery.existing .difference.. But though present on the Mexican soil, by agreement between the two governments, invested with full powers, and bear ing evidence of the most friendly disposition, his mission has been unavaling. The Mexican gov ernment not only refused to receive him,; or listen to his propositions, but after a long continued se ries of menaces have at last invaded our territory and shed the blood of our fellow citizens on• our own soil. , It now becomes my duty to state more in detail the origin, progress, and failure of that mission.— In pursuance of the instructions given in Sev.ein ber last, an inquiry was made, on the thirteentliof October, in 1845, in the most friendly terms, through: our consul ih Mexico, of the minister 'of foreign affairs, whether the Mexican govern ment "would. receive an envoy from the United States intrusted with full powers to adjust all the questions in dispute between the two govern ments;" with the assurance that '-should the an swer be in the affirmative, such an envoy would be 'immediately despatched to itlex'.co." The Mexican minister on the fifteenth of October, gave an affirmative answer to this inquiry, request- ing, at the same time, that our naval force at Vera Cruz 'night he withdrawn, lest itscontined presence might assume the appearance of menace and coer cion pending the : negotiations. This force was immediately withdrawn. On the 10th of Novem ber, 1845, Mr. John Slidell, of Louisaua, was commissioned by me as envoy . extrordinary and minister plenipothry of the United States to Mexico,, and was intrusted with full powers to adjust both the,questions of the Texas boundary and of indemnifications to our citizens. The re-, dress of the wrongs of our citizens naturally and I inseparably blended itself with the question of boundary. The settlement of the one question in any correct view of the subject involves that of the other. I could not, fur a moment entertain the idea that the claims of our much injured and long suffering citizens, many of which had existed for more than twenty years, should be, , postponed, or separated from the settlement of the boundary question. Mr. Slidell arrived at Vera Cruz on the 30th of November, and was courteously received by the authorities of that city. But the government of Gen. Herrera was, then tottering to its fall. The revolutionary party. Lad seized 'ups! the Texas question to effect or has:en its overthrow. Its de terminationio.restore friendly relations with the United States, and, to rece,v e our minister, to nego tiate for•the settlement of this question, was vio lently assailed, and was made the great theme of denunciation against it. The Government of Gen. Herrera, there is a good reason to believe, was sincerely desirous to receive our minister, but it yielded to the storm raised by its enemies, and on the 21st of December refused to accredit Mr. Sli dell upon the most frivolous pretexts. These are so fully and ably, exposed in the note of Mr. Sli dell of the 24th of December last to the Mexican minister of foreign relations,herewith transmitted, that Ideem it unnecessary to enter into further de tail on this portion of the subject. Five days aiter, the date of Mr. Slidell's uree, I Gen: Herrernyielded the government to General IParedealvithout a struggle, and on the 26th of December resigned the presidency. This revolu tion was accomplished solely by the army, the peo ple having taken little part in the contest; and thus the supreme poWer in Mexico passed into the hands of e military leader. Determined to leave no effort untried to effect lan amicable adjusttnent with Mexico, 1 directed Mr. Slidell to present his credentials to the govern. ment of Gen. Paiedes, and ask to be afiicially re ceived by him. There would have been less ground for takingthis step hid Gen. Paredes come into power by a regular constitutional succession. In that event his administration would have been considerediby a, Mere constitutional continuance of the government of Gen. Herrera, arid the refusal of 'the latter'to receive our minister would have been conehtsive, umbrae an intimation had been given by Gen. Pared* of his desire to reverse the decision of his predecessor. . ! • But the government of General 'Peretles owes its existence to a Military revolution, by which the 'subsisting Constitutional authorities had been sub vetted. The, form of goVernment was entirely changed, as well as all the high functionaries by whom it was adminirstered. Under these circumstance*, Mr. Slidell, in obe dience to my direction,addrased a note to the Mex ican minister of foreign relations, under date of the Ist of March last, asking to be received by that government in the diplomatic character to which he had been appointed. This minister, in his reply. under date of the 12th of March, reiterated the ar guments of his predecessor, and in terms that may be considered as ,giving just grounds of offence to the government and people of the United States, denied the application of Mr. Slidell. Nothing, therefore, remained for our envoy but to demand his passports, and return to his own country. This the government of Mexicc;, though sol emnly pledged by official acts in October last to receive and accredit an A tuerican envoy, violated their plighted faith, and refused the offer of a peaceful adjustment of our difficulties. Not only was the otter rejected, but the indignity of its re. jection was enhanced by the manifest breach of faith in refusing to admit the envoy, who came because they had bound themselves to receive him. Nor can it be said that:the offer was fruitless from the want of opportcility . of discussing it our en.' voy was preaent on their own soil. , Nor can it be ascribed to a want of Sufficient powers; our envoy had full powers to adjust every question of differ ence. Nor was there room for complaint that our propositions for settlemeut were unreasonable: per• mission was not even given our envoy to make any propositionwhatever. Nor can it be objected that we, on our part, would not listen to any rea sonable terms ;of their suggestion: the Mexican government refused all negotiation, and have made no propesition bf any kind. . In my message at the commencement of the present session; I informed you that upon the'ear nest appeal, both of Congress and convention of', Texas, I had ordered an efficient military force to take position between the Netices and Del Norte." This had become•necessary to 'meet P. threatened invasion of:Deeps ,y the Mexican forces, for whicb mrtendve military preparations had been made.— The invasion watetreatehed solely bebause Texas had determined, inaecoidance"wittra.solemn reso lution of the Congress of the U. S.:to anuex-her eelf Co our Uniine.and, , ,under thessetirentestantes, it..was plainly:our duty to extend otir..protection over her citizens and:sail. • , • r The force was concentrated ati CorPus.Christi, and remained there until after I had received such informatioh frOm Mexico as Tendered it probable, if not certain, that the Mexican gOvernment would Tense to recent! our envoy.

OM own Con grim; had, moreover, with great unanmity, by, the act approved December. 31st; 1845, recognised the, country beyond the Nuece; as a part ofourterrito ty by including itwithin our own revenue system, and a - revenue officer to reside within that district has been - stppointed by and.with the-advice and con-. sent of the Senate. It became, therefore of -urgent necessity to pro vide for the defence of that portian of our coun try. Accordingly, on the 13th ,of January last in trietions were issued to the general in command olt these troops to.occupy the left bank of the Del Nirte. This. river—Which is the ;southwestern bodary. of the State of Texas--is, - an exposed frontier. ' From this quarter invasion wag threat ened; upon it: andin its immediate vicinity, in the judgement of high military experience, and 'the proper stations for the, protecting forces of the gov ernment. In addition to this important considera tion, several others occurred to induce this move ment. Among these are the facilities afforded by the ports of Brazos Santiago and the mouth of the Del Norte for the reception of supplies by'sea, , the stronger and more healthful military positions, the convenience for obtaining a ready and a more abundant supply of provisions, water, fuel, and fo rage, and the advantages which are afforded by, the Del Norte in forwarding supplies to such posts as may be established in the interior and upon. the Indian frontier. The movement of the troops to the - Del Norte was made by the commanding general; under pos itive instructions toabstain from all aggresivi'acts towards Mexico, or Mexican citizens and to, re gard the relations between that repidilie and the United States as peaceful; unlessshe should declare' war, or commit acts of hostilities -indicative of war. He was specially directed to protect private property and respect personal rights. The army moved from Corpus Christi on the 11th of March, and on the 28th of that month ar rived on the left bank of the Del Norte, opposite to Matamoros, where it encamped on a command ing position, which has since beep strengthened by the erection of field works. A deficit has also been established at Point Isabel nearthe Brazos Sontia go, thirty miles in rear of the.endunpmerit: "The selection of his position was necessarily confided to the judgement of the general in command. The Mexican force at Matamoros 'asssumed a be ligerent attitude, and on the 12th April, Gen. Am pudia,then in command, notified Gen Taylor to bleak up his camp within twenty-four hours,and to retire beyond the Nueces river, and in the event of his failure to comply with these demands, announced that arms, and arms alone, must decide the ques tion. But no open act of hostility was committed until the 24th of April. On that day, General' A rista, who had sccceeded to the command of the Mexican forces, communicated to General Taylor that -he considered hostilities commenced and should prosecute them." A party of dragoons of sixty-three men and officers were on the same day despatched from the American ramp up the Rio del Norte, on its left bank, to ascertain whether, the Mexican troops had crossed, or were prep4ring to cross the river, "became engaged with a large body of these trops' and after a short affray, in which some sixteen were killed and wounded, ap pear to have been surrounded and compelled to sm.; render." - In the grievous wrongs perpetrated by Mexico upon our citizens, throughout a long period of years, remain unredressed; and solemn treaties, pledging her public faith for this redress, have been disregarded. A government either unable or un willing to enforce the execution of such treaties, fails to perform one of its plainest duties." ' Our commerce with Mexico has been almost annihilated. It was formerly highly beneficial to both nations; but our merchants have been de terred from prosecuting it by the system of out rage and extortion which the Mexican authoities have pursued against them, whilst their appeals through their own government for indemnity have i been made in vain. Our forbearance has gone to such an extreme as to be mistakenin its character. Had we acted with vigor in repelling the insults and redressing the injuries inflicted by Mexico at the commencement, we Fhtiuld doubtless have escaped all the difficulties in which we are now in t volved. Instead of this, however, we have been exerting our best efforts to propitiate her good will. Upon the pretext that Texas, a nation as independent as herself, thought proper to unite its destinies with our own, she has affected to believe that we have severed her rightful territory, and, in official pro clamations and manifestos, has repeatedly threat ened to make war upon us for the purpose of re conquering Texas. In the mean time, we have tried every effort at leconcilliation. The cup of forbear ance had been exhausted even before the recent in formation from the frontier of the Del Norte.— But now, after reitered menaces, Mexico has pas sed the boundary of the United States, has invaded our territory, and shed American blood upon the American soil. She has proclaimed that hostili ties have commenced, and that the two nations are now at war. As war exists, and, notwithstanding alraur ef. forts to avoid it, exists by the act of Mexico her self, we are called upon, by every consideration of duly and patriotism, to vindicate, with decision, the honor, the rights, and the interest of our coun- try. Anticipating the possibility of a crisis like that which has arrived, instructions were given in Au gust last, "as a precautionary measure," against invasion, authorizing Gen. Taylor, if the emergen cies required, to accept volunteers, not from Texas only, but from the states of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Sentuky; and corres ponding letters were addressed to; the respective governors of these States. These instructions we repeated; and in January last, soon after the incorporatidn of "Texas into our union of States," Gen. Taylor was further "authorized by the Pres ident to make a requsition upon the executive of that State for such of its militia force as may be needed to repel invasion or to secure the country against apprehended invasion." On the 2d day of March. he was again reminded, "in the event of the approach of any considerable Mexican force, I promptly and efficiently to use the authority with which he was clothed, to call to him such auxilliary force as he might need." War actual ly existed, our territory having,been invaded, Gen. Taylor, pursuant to authority tested itr him by my direction, has called on the 'toVernor of Tex as for four regiments of State troops—,-two to be mounted, and two to serve on foot; and on the Governor of Louisiana for four regiments of in fantry, to be sent to hint as soon as practicable.; In further vindication of our rights and defence out territory, I invoke the promt action of Con gress to recognize the existance of the war, and to place at the disposition of the Executive the means of prosecuting the war with vigor, and thus hastening the restoration of peace. To this end I recommend that authority should be given to call into the public service a large body of volunteers to serve for not less than six or twelve months wiles sooner discharged. A volunteer force is, be yond question, more efficient than any other de. scription of citizen soldiers. and it is not to be doubted that a number far beyoittl that required, would readily rush to the field upon the call of their country. I further recommend that a liberal provision be made for sustaining our military force, and furnishing with supplies munitions of war. The most energetic and prompt measures, and the immediate appearance in arms of a large and overpowering force, are recommended to Congress as the most certain and efficient means of bring-, ing the existing collision with Mexico.th . a.speedy. and successful termination. . ; In making these recommendations I deem it proper to declare that it is my anxiousndesire not only to terminate hostilities "speedily, hiit to bring all matters in - dispute between this .grivern; meat and Mexico to an.early and amicable adjust-' ment and, in this view,..l shall be preparea. to. re new negotiatinus, whenever Mexico shall be rea dy. to receive propositions, or to make propositions •of her‘own. .

It is tonic and stomachic: invigorating the diges tive powers when administered in small doses, whilst it possesses also a cathartic tinted with an astringent power; in no way, however, mterfering: as the, purgative effect invariably Precedes the a stringment. As a medicine, Rhubarb'(the Turkey) has for a considerable period Mild a high placle in the medical world,:and has thus far proved itself' em inently deserving its great reputation„ through through the valuable properties, universally conceded to he pe culiar, to it, when' procured in its pure; state, The effect of this preparation in its purgative op eration is moderate, carrying off the acrid matter,' which is the cause of the disease, and afterwards by its tonic and astringent qualities nfsoothing the system, and subduing the inordinate action which had previously existed. In cases of Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, it is an in valuable remedy; and as a preventive of the various diseases arising from that very disagreeable Com plaint, holds a high place in the estimation of the medical profession.
