 bIR: have the honor 10 acknowledge the receipt of your despatch (No p dated July 3lst. and to ex press my qualification at the result of your conversa. ton with M. duizot especially that part of il which refers to the ramored protest of the French Govern ment, conjoIntyy with that of Great Britain, against the proposed Annexation of Texas to the United States. Such step, had it been taken by France, must have excited unknd feelings, and given the United States just cause of complaint The Govern menI of the United Staies will confidently rely on the assurances ot M. Guizol; and il is hoped that. neither separately nor conjoin'ly with any other Pow ct will France adopt course which would seem little m accordance with her true interests, or the friendly relations winch have long subsisted be. tween the two countries.
 My reply to your first despatch, which was for- warded by the last steamer. renders il unnecessary for me 10 enlarge the topics presented in your last. In regard to Mir. Guizots inquiry respecting proposed guaranty of the independence of Texas, your reply was well timed and iudcious. The set. tied policy of the United States has been to avoid entering into such guarantees. except in cases of strong necessity. The present offers reasons to warrant deviation from that policy. On the trary, it presents a strong additional why it should be adhered to, such guaranty would per naneniy defeat the proposed measure of annsxation which both countries seem anxious to advance.
 WILLIAM R. KING, Esq, &e.
