The Times saws that the consent of Con-

we're strong moral objections 10 it, but, says
the Journal, whatever they loved they COW

The Morning Chronicle says they are
more mortified than surprised at annexa-

HOUSE OF Commons, March l9.-Mr.
Adam called attention 10 President Tyler's
last message to the American Congress re-
lative to The British policy in renewing the
African slave trade, and recapiluIating lib
erned negroes as apprentices.
Sir Robert Peel regretted that The Presi-
den, Of The U. S. had meddled with the sub
iect. The Americans did not understand
British policy
The ptemler then proceeded 10 issue q
few political false hoods Of the grossest char

are brought TO the West Indies.
A conversation has also taken place in
tho Commons in reference to the Oregon
territory. Mr.. Roebuck tho member from
Bath, formerly connected with Canada
and who has given some attention TO Anne
rcan affairs, thought il the case WAS pro-
perly looked into, il would be seen at once
that the United States had no Just claim
West Of the Rocky Mountains, md that
the conduct OF the House Of RepIese nta-
tives in that matter was enough TO rouse iu-
digration. Sir Robert Peel, in reply said,
that Mr. Roebuck would see that the rela-
tons of England were not with the House
OF Representatives, but with the American
executive. He quite agreed that willis,
negotiations were pending, nothing could
be more unseemly than 10 use any Ian
guags Of buser and menance; but whilst
fotbearing 10 do so, he hoped The House
would moi infer that Her Majesty's govern
ment were not deeply sensible Of the i'm
portance Of the subject
In Ireland things continue pretty quiet,

Peel to o passage in The recent message o
the President oil the United States, in which
it was alleged with regard to our elloits L

when captured, instead OF being returned Il
their homes, are transferred TO her coonia
possessions in the West Indies, and made
the means Of swelling the amount of theiI
products by a system of apprenticeship 10
term of years." and begged to nsk whelh
err the President was correctly intormed!-
Sir r. Peel regretted that the President o
tho United States should have thought prop
or 10 send 10 Congress formal message
upon that important subject, without nscer
tanning the real condition Of those liberated
negroes when in tho British colonies
The message stated that, on the capture by
British ships Of negroes intended for sIa

dies, and subjected TO apprenticeship for 4
term Of years, and treated with nearly the
same severity that was practised towarc
them while slaves. Now the fact Of the
