 To those who know Mr. Van Buren, it is unnecessary to expose the attempts of the coalition to place him 'n posi- ton so contrary to his wishes and sen timents. For the information ofour re- publican friends generally throughout the Union, we now deliberately assert that it is totally without foundation. Mir.

SLAVERY IN TEXAS.

From the correspondence published below, from the Texas Gazette, (which is rather clumsy traaslation,) between the Governor of Coahuila and Texas, and the Secretary of the United Mexi- can States, it will be observed under what circumstances an exception has been obtained in favor of that State against the Decree, for a general aboIi- ton ofSlayery throughout the Republic. They prohibit the farther introduction of slaves into that State. La. 4du.

His Excellency the Governor of the State, under date of l2th of the present month, has been pleased to communi- cate to me, the following resolutions
 "In consequence of the representa- ton, which under date of l4th of Nov. last this Government transmitted to the Supreme Government of the Nation, so- liciting an exception for the Department under charge of your honor, of the pro- visions of the Decree of 18th September last, issued by his ExcelIency the Pres ident of the Republic, in virtue of his ex- isting extraordinary faculties. :. His Exceilency the Minister ofrelatons, un- der date of the 2d instant, has commu- nicated to me the following supreme res olution:-Most Excellent Sir, his Excel lency the President having been in- formed of the note of your Excellency, No. l26, of the L4th of last month, man. itesting conformably with the exposition of the Chiefof Texas, which you forwaI- ded. The serious inconveniences ap- prehended by the execution of the De- cree of 18th of September last, on the subject of the abolition of slavery in that Department, and the fatal results to be expected, prejudicial to the tranquility and even 10 the political existence of the State; and having considered how ne- cessary it is to protect, in an eificacious manner, the colonization of these irn- mense lands of the Republic, has been pleased to accede to the solicitation of your Excellency, and DECLARE E THE DEPARTMENT OF TEXAS EXCEPTED from the general disposi- ton, comprehended in said Decree. Therefore his Excellency declares that no change must be made as respects the Slaves that legally exist in that part of your State governed by your Excel lency, expecting from your patriotism and philanthropy, that you will cause the most vigorous vigilence to be used, in order that the general laws and those
