I transmit a report from the Secretary of State upon the subject of the relations between the United States and the Republics of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, in Central America, which has been delayed longer than I desired in consequence of the ill health of the Secretary of State.

WASHINGTON, August 14, 1852.

To the Senate of the United States

I have received a resolution from your honorable body of the 6th instant, appearing to have been adopted in open legislative session, requesting me “to inform the Senate, if not incompatible with the public interests, whether any propositions have been made by the King of the Sandwich Islands to transfer the sovereignty of these islands to the United States, and to communicate to the Senate all the official information on that subject in my possession;” in reply to which I have to state that on or about the 12th day of June last I received a similar resolution from the Senate adopted in executive or secret session, to which I returned an answer stating that in my opinion a communication of the information requested at that juncture would not comport with the public interest.  Nothing has since transpired to change my views on that subject, and I therefore feel constrained again to decline giving the information asked.
