at the course which he had adopted in reference to

TExAs-ln the House of Lords, on Friday the
18Th August Lord Brougham introduced the subject
of Texas and Texian slavery in the following man.
ner, as reported in the London Morning Chronicle
OF the morning Of the 10Th.
Lord Brougham said that seeing his noble friend
at the head OF the foreign department in his place,
ne wished to obtain some information from him re-
atve to state OF great interest at the present tme
namely, Texas That country was in a state of in.
dependence de facto, but its Independence had ne
yer been acknowledged by Mexico the state from
which 1t was torn by the events Of the revolution
He was aware that its Independence had been go
far acknowledged by this country, that we had
treaty whit; The importance Of Texas could not
be moderated II was a country of the greatest ca
liabilities, and was in extent fully aslarge as France
posse soil OF the finest and most fertile cha
racter, and it was capable of producing nearly all
tropical produce, and liz climate was of most
Healthy character. 1t had access to the Gulf of
Mexico, through the river Mississippi, with which it
communicated by means of the Red river The po-
pulation OF the country was said to exceed 24O 600,
but ne had been assured by gentleman who came
from that country, and who was a member of the
same profession as himself, that the whole poPua
exceed loo. 600; but ne was greved to learn that
fefs86s, wsre in state OF slavery This point lea
him to the foundation of the question which he
wished TO put to his noble friend. There was very
little, or no slave trade carried on with Texas from
Africa directly; but large number Of slaves were
constantly being sent overland to that country
Although the major part of the land in Texas was
well adapted tor white labor, and therefore for
by some strange iufatuation, or by some nord-
nate love OF Immediate gain, preferred slave la
Dor TO free labor. AS all access to the African
slave, market was shut out to them, their market
tor slaves was the United States, from whence
they, obtained large supply of negro slaves. The
markets from whence they obtained their supply of
slaves were Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia,
which States constantly sent their surplus slave
population, which would otherwise be burden to
them, to the Texan market No doubt it was true,
as mad been stated, that they treated their slaves
lerably well, because they knew that it was for
their interest to them, as they had such profit
able market for them in Texas. This made him
rresisbly ANXIOUS TO. the abolition of slavery in
Texas, lori 1t were abolished there not only would
that country be cultivated by free and white labor,
but 1t would put stop TO the habit OF breeding
slaves tor the Texan market. The consequence
would be, that they would solve this great
in the history Of the United States for it must uti-
mately end in the abolition OF slavery in America.
He, therefore, looked forward most anxiously to
the abolition ct slavery IN Texas, as he was con-
WINGED that 1t would ultimately end in the abolition
OF slavery throughout the whole OF America He
knew that the Texans would do much as regarded
the abolition of slavery. Mexico could be induced
TO recognize their independence. II, therefore by
our good offices, we could get the Mexican govern
ment to acknowledge the independence of Texas
he would suggest hope that II might terminate ia
the abolition OF slavery in Texas, aud ultimately the
whole OF the southern States Of America The
abolition OF slavery In Texas must put an end to
one of the most execrable crimes-for he would not
designate II by the honorable name Of trafiic-that
could disgrace people, namely, the rearing and
breeding OF slaves or the being engaged In the sale
OF our fellow creatures He, therefore, hoped that
his noble friend would have no difficulty 10 letting
him know whether he could give any information
to the state of the negotiations on this subject,
as to the nature OF the instructions that had been
given to our minister in that country. Il the pro
duction Of such documents in the furnishing such
Information was not suitable al the pfesen: moment
ne would NOT press his noble friend but ne had no
doubt that his noble friend could confirm his state
ment, and he trusted that the government would
not lote any opportunity of pressing the subject,
whenever they could do 50 with hope OF success.
The Earl of Aberdeenin reply said, that he could
state that not only had this country ack nowIedged
the independence OF Texas, but also that we mad
treaty OF commerce, and treaty tor the abolition
OF the slave trade with that power. lie did moi be-
Texas by sea, but it was true that there was large
Importation OF slaves from the United States into
