HOUSE OF COMMONS, Aug. 2-Mr. Golden made
some enquiries relative to the destination of the
| Montezuma steam frigate, said to be fitting out in
| London tor an invasion of Texas, and commanded
by an officer IN the service of the British govern
ment.
Sir R. Peel said he believed the facts werethese
| two vessels were fitting out, one at Blackwell and
the other at Liverpool. 1t said that those YES
| sells were tor the Mexican government. Applica-
| ton had been made to the British government to
permit them to be manned with British seamen, and
that permission had been refused. The hon. men,
Der under the impression that one vessel was to
be commanded by an officer who held commits
| sion In her Majesty navy. He could state, that in
! consequence OF an application from the Texan mi
mister on the subject that mnsterh had been inform
| ed that no officer in her Maesy's navy would be
| allowed TO serve the Mexican government against
| Texas. The Texan government had been inform
ed that if hostilities should take place, it was the

perfect neutrality.
Mr. O'Connell said the treaties with Texas had
been laid on the table at late period of the
sion, that opportunity had been afforded of bring
ing under the consideration of the house the state
| IN which those treaties left the communication be-
| tween this country and Texas. There law
in Texas that no free subject of color should remain
| there longer than certain time. He would feel II
| his duty, whenever convenient opportunity arriy-
ed, to call the attention of the house to the sub
Ject.
Lord PALMERsroN said he believed the laws in
| Texas were precisely the same as the laws in the
southern States Of the United States
Mr.. O'CoNNELL said II was only in the State of
| Carolina that the law existed.
Lord Palmerston said that so far from the Texan
| government being at our mercy, we were, on the
contrary, at their mercy. [Hear.l They had al
ready secured the recognition OF their independence
by treaties with the United States of America with
France, and the Netherlands, and the question came
| TO this, whether the commerce between England
and Texas should be placed on the same footing as
| the commerce between Texas and other countries,
or whether we should be exposed to disadvantages
| to which other States were not subjectl
Mr.. c. Butler said that he did not think it would
be proper to require Of state to alter its internal
laws on entering into treaty with another country.
Mr.. Labouchere thought that the house had no
business to interfere in such questions the pre-
sent. II was a subject for the consideration of the
governments of different countries.
| Mr.. Hume said he should consider that it would
be most desirable that our government should inter-
ere if possible, to prevent the hostlltles which had
hostllities would necessarily produce great misery
| in those States, and would necessarily greatly in
| convenience British trade.
| Sir X. Peel said that the dlssensons between
those states and South America, had been undoub-
| eddy attended with the worst effects. They carried
on their hostllltIes with the bitterest amnesty;
pirates were encouraged to enter into their service
| they destroyed each others commerce they pre-
vented the growth of their natuIal prosperity. Those
events in addition, interfered with their commune
cation with those countries which were the first to
i tl,nr, ,.Ia p,.t
pally on the ground of the fatal consequences TO
those states themselves that such hostiites TO
be deprecated. Every effort in the power of the
| British government would be made TO contribute TO
| the restoration OF tranquility IN those countries
