tion on the other part, signed in this city on the 16th instant. MILLARD FILLMORE. WASHINGTON, _June 23, 1852_. _To the Senate of the United States_: I transmit herewith a report from the Secretary of State, with the accompanying documents,[22] in compliance with the Senate's resolution of the 3d instant. MILLARD FILLMORE. [Footnote 22: Correspondence relative to the withdrawal of Mr. Huelsemann, charge d'affaires from Austria to the United States.] WASHINGTON, _June 26, 1852_. _To the Senate of the United States_: I transmit and commend to the consideration of the Senate a report from the Secretary of State, touching the convention between the United States and the Mexican Republic for the mutual extradition of fugitives from justice in certain cases, which convention I submitted to the Senate soon after I entered upon the office of President of the United States. MILLARD FILLMORE. DEPARTMENT OF STATE, _Washington, June 26, 1852_. The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: It was understood that at the close of the Administration of your predecessor an extradition treaty was concluded in this city between the United States and the Mexican Republic, which, however, was submitted to the Senate by yourself, but before I entered upon my present office. It is presumed that as the treaty has not been returned to this Department the Senate has made no decision in regard to it. The necessity for a compact upon that subject between the two Governments, whose territories, being conterminous, afford great facilities for wrongdoers in the one to screen themselves from punishment by seeking refuge in the other, would at all times be obvious, but at the present juncture may be considered as urgent. I would consequently suggest that the attention of the Senate be respectfully invited to the matter, in order that if the treaty before them should be deemed objectionable another, embodying such amendments as may be supposed to be necessary, may be proposed to the Mexican Government. Respectfully submitted, DANL. WEBSTER. WASHINGTON, _June 26, 1852_. _To the Senate of the United States_: I have received and taken into respectful consideration the resolution of the Senate of yesterday, adopted in executive session, requesting information in regard to supposed negotiations between the United States and Great Britain and between the United States and the Republics of Nicaragua a
