I shall carry with me into retirement the gratifying reflection that as my sole object throughout has been to advance the public good.
I have been influenced by what appeared to me to be the most controlling considerations of public policy and the general good.
In the deepest grief the President of the United States has instructed the undersigned to announce to the Army that from the accidental explosion of a gun yesterday on board the United States steamship Princeton the country and its Government lost at the same moment the Secretary of State, the Hon. A. P. Upshur, and the Secretary of the Navy, the Hon. T. W. Gilmer.
I transmit to the Senate a report from the Secretary of State, with documents, containing the information requested by their resolution of the 23d ultimo.
