To the Senate of the United States:
In answer to the resolution of the Senate of the 11th December, 1844, requesting the President “to lay before the Senate, if in his judgment that may be done without prejudice to the public interests, a copy of any instructions which may have been given by the Executive to the American minister in England on the subject of the title to and occupation of the Territory of Oregon since the 4th day of March, 1841; also a copy of any correspondence which may have passed between this Government and that of Great Britain, or between either of the two Governments and the minister of the other, in relation to that subject since that time,” I have to say that in my opinion, as the negotiation is still pending, the information sought for cannot be communicated without prejudice to the public service.
