A Message of the President of the United Mexican States, delivered to Congress at the opening of their annual session or. the Ist of Jauusry last, has been received. It begins by con gratulating the assembly on the gigantic strides which the Mexican nation has made, and Is making, in the career of improvement and glory. The President then proceeds to describe the relations of the republic with other states of the old anti new world, and, of course, first directs his attention towards England, its firmest friend and most useful ally. He then states that France has manifested an anxious desire to form commercial relations with Mexico and the other new states of America. The recognition of Haytian inde pendence, it is added, has ineontestibly justified the right of insor. rection among nations, and raised the principle of public good above that which dues not distinguish the societies of men from the flocks of thesheplierd. On the sukiect of the Mexican finances, the Presi dent says—" Finance, which in all other countries is the barometer of their riches and aggrandizement, proposes the most gratifying augmentation of revenue. The redemption of debt has infused into our creditors that confidence which constitutes the magic of our resources. Our national credit in foreign markets ad vances In proportion to our religious exactness in observing the conditions of our Irons with the houses which contract fur negotiated stliantageosodY the loon which it was comodssioncd them. The hilase of Barclay , Richardson, and Co. of London, to form by the republic. Happily very little of it has been em ployed for common purposes. The equipment of ships, prJviding of arms, clothing, and anions , and top the army—the improvv meat of our tobacco plantations, and the redemption of a consul , ta ble part of the loan contracted in 1323, with the house of B. Gold. %amid' and Co., together with the punctual payment of tho divi dends, and the ordinary sinking fund, have been the object of its A clear produce. Its utility has been, seen in the state of the army, in the increase of our mar ine, in th e acquisition of Ulloa. and in the external and internal security which we enjoy. The half of the duties of our maritime customs being paid at the custom-house on the coast, and the other half i n Mexico, the strictest orders have • reit given that the half of the former, which in the fourth part of their whole amount, should he deposited in Vera CM?, AiTardtt, the old town of Tampiect, Tampion de 111% Tomanlipm, Soto la s inking fund, without the necessity of Marina, to be employed in the complete and prompt discharge of the dividends and ordinary having recourse for this purpose to the remainder of the last loan, ate ress on an ect which is still In Lond on at the d u i l sposal Cong of Hover nme unexpnt." The , President then p r oceeds to congrat , and unexampled Increue of Mexican trade. both internal and ex lanai, and anticipates from the progressive prosperity of the na. flan, the probability that in the ensuing year the revenue may be ouglekot to ova t h e ups, *Mora any foreign aid.

PEEL presented a petition from the inhabitants of the town of Tronworth. in Staffordshire, praying her the abolition of slavery. He said, as it was not his intention to take any part in the debate which was expected to take place that night relative to the cordition of negro slaves, he would say a few words in refer ence to the petition which he held in his hands. It was numerously and respectably signed. The petitioners approved most highly . of the resolutions entered into by the House itt Inn, and were desir oils that the principle of those resolutions should be carried into effect. They did not urge the immediate and sudden manumission of the negroes, but wished the House would adopt such measures as woniti lead to their emancipation. They went a step further than other petitioners who had preceded them ; they were willing to contribute (if called upon) towsrds indemnifying any loss that might be sustained in forwarding that measure of relief towards the slaves in the West Indies. There was one point to which he would call the attention of the House. As the law of evidence at present stood in the West India Colonies, the testimony of a slave could not be received concurrently or in contradiction of the evidence of a white; so that ff 6 merttftlid been annoritted lit the presence of one white and several negro slaves, the testimony of the white only could he received as evidence of the fact, and should even this white he the brother of the murderer, it was only by his evidence that the culprit could he convicted. This was certainly a great grievance, and, in his opinion, called upon the House for interfer ence. He concurred in the opinions of the petitioners, and he trusted the object of the petition would soon be effected. Similar petitions were presented by Lord Althorp. from Ketter ing, in Northamptonshire ; from Rowell and Desboroueh, by Mr. Ilyng ; from lirentford, by Sir Thomas Acland ; from Devonport, by Mr. Drummond ; from Falkirk, by Mr. Tremayne ; from Iles ; ton, by Mr. 'Nodal° ; from Birmingham and its vicinity ; by Mr. • Curti is, front Cliff- Lewes ; by Mr. Wyvill. from the city and vi- trinity of York ; by Lord Lowther, from Appleby, in IVestmor- I land. aid from Stowmarket, in Stiftlk, by Mr. Chaplin : from South from Holbeach, bong-Sutton, and Halcsborough ; Iby Mr. Dickinson, from NViveliacombe ; by Mr. Hume, from I Kingston ; by Sir IL Ferguson, from Burntisland ; by Mr. Len. ears, from Ipswich, and front the Protestant Convocation of I)is seoters the same place ;by Mr. Legh Keck, from Butter rth ; by Mr. Allen. from Pembroke : by Mr. Whitmore, from Oswestry ; by Mr. Woilehouse, from Norfolk ; by Sir Philip Mositraye, front the city of Carlisle ; by Mr. W.

Mr. M'Oi)EHOI TS E begged leave to postpone his motion rela tive to poor-rates, which stood for this day, to the 14th instant.— A grt eel to. Mr. F. BUXTON presented petitions from the city of London end its vicinity, from Norfolk. Norwich, Edinburgh, Sheffield, and several other places, praying for the abolition of slavery in the West Indies. He wished more particularly to call the attention of the House to the petition from the city of London and its vicinity, which was more numerously signed than any that had ever been prevented on the subject, it having received the signatures of no less than seventy-two thousand persons. After stating this fut. and enumerating the several petitions he had received from other parts of the kingdom, he thought be need not occupy the time of the House by attempting to prove that the public felt a very great and lively interest on the subject. lie could not, however, allow this opportunity to pass by without askiii,r the Right Hon. Ghmtleman opposite (Mr. Canning) what was the course which ilia Alejest y's Government meant to pursue with regard to this qnestion ? Per.. ' ceiving as lie did that the public mind was exceedingly alive to the condition of the negro slaves, he trusted that the Right Hon. Gen fiction would state explicitly whether any further measures were intended to be adopted by his Majesty's Government to aceom. plish the object an universally desired. Ilefore lie (Mr. F. Buxton) sat down, he wished to state to the House the precise position la which this subject at present rested. In the year 18 . 23 the question was first agitated, and he had the honour at that time of submitting to the House a resolution declaratory of what he conceived to be the real feeling' ci' every Christian and, every freeman with respect to slavery; at that time, however, it wan stated by his Majesty's Govesameat that the question vas oae of so mach importance, of such seat magnitude, and of so much leiicacy, that they than,* f it could not be safely handled by an individual, but that it sly '4 i, be intrusted to the management of his Majesty's Goredellety • This proposal was consented to upon curidition that the quietism should be immediately attended to; and. the matter oaa accordingly !eft in the hands of Government. Upon that , occasion the Right Honourable Gentleman expressed his view , oa the subject or- slavery in a full and candid manner, and meat certainly be (11r. F. Buxton) . did not perceive any difference whatever between the sentiments of the Right Ho nourable Gentleman and his own upon that object. (neer. hear.) He told the House distinctly and most fairly that the *pint and principles both of the British Constitution and of the Christian Religion were In favour of the abolition of that most unquestioned evil, and he said that it was the duty of the Government to intro. duce some efficient measures to mitigate and finally to do sway with such unquestioned evil ; and be accordingly moved a series of Re solutions, which were adopted by the Honer. The purport of these Resolutions, he might say . wet to pledge this House, and not per.. soma out of the House, to the immediate amelioration of slavers, and in ea effectual a manner as Should gradually lead to the part:cipation on the part of the negro slave in all the rights of a Britio, subject. In point of fact irwas to be an Immediate atoeUntration stud a final abolition of slavery. In strict compliance with the reso lution proposed by himself, and of those which were substituted for it by the Right Honourable Gentleman, an Order in Council was issued, intended in the first plate to be enforced in the liolonies over which the Crown had immediate control ; but it the same time it was expected to operate as an example to the colonies White were under the control of a local legislature. That Order 'in ,Comeil tontaiued some very excellfot regulations. The first .its hafpurtance was, that negro evidence was to be received oadit net,. Joao regulatkats ; the second stated that the of the nm. ', 4 llU'le brendiallOiget and eeleboutil is a legalloseatacy r the Mot ••• directed that religious and moral Instruction should be given to ti. inearo; fourth was far the abolition of the whip as a 'Ursula , t Z a hn ,to labeti and that the application of that punishment as Of time'. C should be lished altogether; by the fifth, Sunday - markets weir abolished ; by the sixth, the property of the negroes gles w be 'st. spected. The seventh, which was a very important mulatto ~ directed that the negro should have the power to appropriate that property in the purchase of his own redemption, or that of his iii. mediate relatives- The only question that remained was how these regulations were to be put in practice. No doubt whatever ass expressed as to the Government meeting with the cordial co-opera. don of the colonial legislatures. But the Right Honourable Geo. eleman, in the conclusion of his speech, stated that if he shesuid have to encounter soy opposition or resistance on the part of those. 1 1egislaturee of a contumacious nature, he should then feel it his duty to come down to Parliament and demand that power which would enable Government to exercise a vigorous coercion towards these colonies that were thus refractory. 'J hey had had the prin ciples of Parliament laid down, and the regulations to be adopted laid down in that Order of Council; he thought therefore 1 nothlbg was more unequivocal than that which this country required on the part of the colonial legislatures—either the adoption or the rejection of those regulations ; and be also thought that nothing was more unequivocal on the part of the colonies than that to every one of those regulations rejection had been made. lie wished to state to the House barely the facts of the case. In the first place lie would sae, witatever'efforts had been attempted, that gates rally speaking nothing whatever had been done. In some of the c do nieasoniething had been attempted,but nothing had been really done, for wherever aarythieg had been attempted tobetionettlecoloniatshad always coupled their measures with something else. which his Ma. jest y'a Government felt it necessary to reject. He would jest stre what had been attempted. In Tobago they had altered, to a ...re trifling extent indeed, the law of evidence; but there was one im portant measure which they had certainly effected , and that was by changing the market day from Sunday to Thursday. He believed. that this was the only colony in which that salutary regulation had been adopted. In Berbic.e ejlio had agreed that when a negro slave , was sold lie should be sold with his family. But he must stets also that this concession bad been coupled with demands of the re-enactment of varioue rules of the old system which his Ma jesty's Government felt called upon to disallow and therefore the regulation had fallen to the ground. In Barbi:does they had :.t -' tempted to alter the law of evidence. He thought there was no part of the colonistl system more objectionable than this, anti that therefore no part required correction more; and he telmitted that so far this colony had certainly done something; but he must ray . what it was that they had not done at Barbadoes; sod. in stating this, the House would see how little in fact had been done in puma. lance of the recommendation M: Parliament and of the Government. They had not abolished the driviog system; they had not abolished the flogging of women with the whip ; they had not abolished t a u ' I arbitrary power of the master ; they had not legalized the marriage of the negro ; they had not permitted him to purchase his redeum r then ; and they had not permitted him to he sold only with hie ta. wily. This net alasefaiewebodoes was seeempiered math tkeptiende that made it necessary to be rejected by his Majesty's Government. In the island of Jamaica it was true two insignificant Acts had passed with no advantage to the negro, but with a direct tut canoe° to the master. In that colony nothing whatever had been den: wen regard to the mitigation of the state of the negro. In AiV er i tt o. Dominica, nothing had been done. In St. Lucia. St. Montserrat, Granada, St. Kitt's, the Virgin Isles , the Bermudas , nothing had been done in compliance with the resolutions of this House; nothing whigh the Government had recommended had heen accomplished. If any thing had been done it had been dons within these walls. (Hear, hear.) It was therefore certainly leer that either that House must renounce the pledge which it heciatisert to the country, or they must take the measure Into their owliftioils. (Hear, hear.) He was very anxious on this occasion...a - Say oothing which might give offence to any party, at the aitinetime he was moat anxious to declare that it was his mesg,drfiberaie and arm judgment that either Parliament must do thiteirork itself, or must dianties it from these walls, and say it ehbuld not be none at all. (Bear, hear.) Ile wished to avoid .saying any thing effenstive to persons whose feelings might be interested in this question. Ile therefore would take the liberty of using an extract of a speech made ily the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Canning) many years agoin that House on the question of slavery—a bleat moist feeling and most eloquent, but which deserved the attention of this House, not so mull for its eloquence as for the sound and coosti. tutional principle which it enforced. The Right Hon. Gentleman said, in the course of that speech, " Trust nut the masters of slaves in what concerns the legislation for slaves ! However specious. the laws they propose may appear, depend upon it they n:ust be into fecund in their operation. It is in the nature of things that they must be so. Let the British Parliament do their part atomised unbiassed ; let not the House of Commons delegate a trust to those who cannot execute it towards the party fairly ; let it be done by an assembly of freemen, and not by die masters of slaves." Such.tvaa the language of the Right Hon. Gentleman, and that language be (Mr. F. Buxton) now took the liberty to address to that House, and to request to know what were the intentions of Coaeromeot upon the subject. The petitions were then brought up, and their title and prayer read pro forma by the Clerk of the House. Mr. Secretary CANNING begged pardon of the House, but as he believed it was the wish of the petitioners to have the petition 1 front London and its vicinity read, he wished that it might lor done. The petition was then read. Mr. Secretary CANNING rose, and said that before he answered the call of the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. F. Buxton) he was anxious that that petition, which, from the lion. Gentleman's has - lel selected the opportunity in presenting it of making that call, he (Mr. Canning) presumed was considered by him to express, in the most unobjectionable and most unexceptionable shape, the sea. timents which it embodied, should be read in the war to which it had been, in order that he (alr. Canning) might be able to say, in the most unequivocal manner, that he was disposed to ogres bathe prayer of that petition, and that he considered it to be, to use its own unexceptionable terms, a safe and practical object. In order to recall to the House what the state and progress of the measures for effecting that object was now, be would take the lawny I of requesting the Clerk to read the resolutions to which the no.. Member had referred ; the substance of winch was, he had no doubt, in the recollection of the )louse ; but be should ;Aso wish that the words of those resolutions should be present to Mete minds. 'flue Clerk of ihe House then rend from die Journals of the *outs the following entry, dated May 15, 1823 : " Upon the following Resolution being moved by Mr. F. Bux ton, viz. : That the state of slavery is repugnant to the principles oldie British Constitution and of the Christian Religion, and thee 41 ought to be abolished gradually throughout the British colonise, with as much expedition as may be found consistent with a due re gard to the well-being of the parties concerned,' • The following amendment was proposed anti agreed to : • That it is expedient to adopt effectual and deci....iv c meaaerea for ameliorating the condition of the slave population of his Ma jeaty's Colonies. ' That through a determined and rigorous, but at the woe time judicious and temperate, enforcement of such measures, nos House looks forward to progressive improvement in the character of the slave population, such as may prepare them for the pude:Spa. non in those civil rights and privileges which are enjoyed by other classes of his Majesty's subjects. • That this House is anxious for the accomplishment of Mots nurposes at the earliest period that may he consistent with the wel fare of the slaves themselves, the well.heing of the Colonies, and s fair and equitable consideration of the interests of all parries con. cerned therein.' " Mr. Secretary CANNING was glad that the lhewse had bc - n put in possession. not only of the Itesolutionn which were ono. itimously adopted, but of the Resolution which was origtexlly pee. posed, and which the unanimous Resolutions superse•led ; beesbse, as the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. F. Buxton) commereed with stating that her (lr. Canning) hail admitted the existence of Kittery to Im incompatible with the spirit of the British Cooentution. and the spirit of the Christian religion, he was desirous that the ilett‘e almald know in what degree he assented, and in what lieeffef he differed from the view taken of the subject by the Hon. Oeutlereen. Undoubtolly no nu m would affirm that the Aare trade was apes. stile with the abstract spirit of the Constitution; and still less that it was compatible with the mild and benignant spirit of the Chrie. tian•religion. But as the Resolution proposed by the Hun. Gent. would hove gone, as he (Mr. ('arming) thought, to takeall des. credit* out of the Lauds of Parliament i to call upon them to pm!,
