Taylor to the subject of the resolution of the Senate of the 23d of May as to alleged revolutionary movements in Cuba, June 1, 1851

[641] *Message of the President of the United States, transmitting reports from the several heads of departments relative to the subject of the resolution of the Senate of the 23d of May as to alleged revolutionary movements in Cuba.

To the Senate of the United States:

I transmit to the Senate herewith reports from the several heads of departments, which contain all the information in the possession of the Executive relative to the subject of the resolution of the 23d instant, (May.)

[642] No information has been received establishing the existence of any revolutionary movement in the island of Cuba among the inhabitants of that island. The correspondence submitted discloses, however, the fact that repeated attempts have been made, under the direction of foreigners enjoying the hospitality of this country, to get up armed expeditions in the United States for the purpose of invading Cuba. It will be seen by that correspondence that this Government has been faithful in the discharge of its treaty obligations with Spain, and in the execution of the acts of Congress which have for their object the maintenance, in this regard, of the peace *and honor of this country.
