Of The independence OF Texas. Tie House
divided on This motion as follows: % yeas,
III nays.
MIR. Hoy, in making the motion about
Texas, said it,cas the standard of slavery
that was raised in Texas, and it behooved
England to stand by Mexico in such con-
test. Lord Palmerston said that the Pre-
sident's Message 10 Congress on tina! point
was full and satisfactory, and Showed no
disposition to vioate the neutrality they
had preserved. He also suggested that the
interest OF the North would be q sufficient
check against any improper recognition OF
the indepe ndence Of Texas. Mr.. Warde
Withdrew an attack he had made against
Mr.. Forsyth, charging him with specua-
that il was not q fact, and withdrew il with
pleasure. O'Connell denounced the Uni
ted States on the subject OF slavery.

UNITED STATES (NORTH AMER

Mr.. Robinson begged to ask the noble
Lord if any progress had been made in the
settlement OF The question respecting the
b. S. Boundary Line!
Lord Palmerston said there had not.
The question was still the subject of com E.
munication between the Government of
the Two countries. He believed that both
Governments were actunied by an earnest
desire to bring the matter 10 an amicabIe
conclusion, but difficulties had arisin in part
out of the different forms Ofthe two Govern.
ments, which had delayed the settlement till
now.
From the London Times.
LONDON, March 8.
The resolutions brought forward by
Lord John Russell coupled with the cir
cumstance out OF Which they arose, have
opened discussion Of some elementary
questions, the importance ot which had
been more or less disguised 10y the convex
.tional phrascology OF Parliament.
The mass OF grievances set up by the
French malconcnts of Lower Canada a.
mounts, in plain language to this - that they
are subject 10 the British Crown, and the
redress demanded by their advocates is,
that Lower Canada shall cease 10 be a CO.
lony oil Great Britain. Mr.. Robinson was
The only speaker on Monday nigh, who
gave the thing lis proper name, and char
god the French party with broad attempt
TO throw off The colonial character of the
province and dismember il from the Brit
ish empire.
Nor was this accusation fairly met on the
part Of the French Canadian advocat les.
They talked about constitutional rights, a
bout bad government, about the Tenures
act the Land Company Act, the necessity
Of having an elective Council, the necessity
that public servants should be responsible,
the right inherent in the House OF Assem-
be 10 raise taxes, and appropriate the a.
mount of them, and Sd forth; but they ne
yer came 10 the point, and said souly-
eve will not be governed any longer by
Great Britain; We insist on being as indie
pendant OF her as she is of US; we'inssl on
being British colony no longer" They
all implied as much; hut no one OF them
dared to avow the truth, even to the extent
OF which the Middlesex orator had sci
them the example, by denouncing in gencr-
al terms as in intolerable, the "baneiul dom
nomination OF the mother country"
