Texas With thr United States, lhia was i
question Of yaut Importance, SO far as the abo.
lliuu Of slavery WaS concerned, but he trust.
ed that the deciding portion NJ the Congress,
natnely, two'tlirds Of the Wombere, would up.

OF the noble lord al tho head of tho foreign
department even justified the inference that
this country, although dcpbgring the cxis.
tonce OF ~slatcFy, ever contemplated any In
tertofente with The constitution of America.
The Earl OF Aberdeen said tho noble and
learned lord could not expect him 10 give a
precise answer to the questien lie asked. II
was subject quito new and lunexampled in
the history ot n%ationss and his noble aud
learned friend might depend upon II, that il
would receive the most serious attention Of

believed, that the TIE ATTY for 3fe annexation

tanned two defeats since our Last advices, both
IN election cases. The intended visit of the
King TO England, is again spoken Of. II is
said that The King, after having crossed the
channel, will on his return, proceed to Brest
with the squadron, which is being prepared to
accompany him. There has been, in the
Chamber OF Deputies, discussions on the alb
clifton Of slavery in the colonies. The pre-.
vaiing opinions seem TO be thai slavery must,
sooaer or later, disappear from the French
possessions, bnt All immediate abolition
would DO very disastrous.
The discomfort III the army ia a tribute to
jealousy, caused by q distribution Of decora-
tons and promotions on tho Kings birth day.
The Lyons journals announced that the a.
gents Vi the Leeilimatisls were exceedingly

gress for the marriage Of The Prince de Wap-
PAM with Queen Isabella of Spain, promise
TO terminate successfully, Notwithstanding
