TO JOHN TYLER, President United staes:-
My DEAR SIR-1 enclose you her ewith tine London Times
OF the aOh OF June containing Mr. OConnels speech at
Galway, to which invite your special attention. and
also copy of letter addressed to Sir Robert Pee-my
reasons tor writing which Will explain.
By the last steamer sent you cooy of my letter to
receipt OF which he acknowledged in polite note tans-
ing me for the information (given), but declining to in
ed that the opposition headed by Lord John Russell
anxious to make issue with the present government
and are prepared to denounce ministers they refuse
neglect to make treaty with US; and during
versation with Mr.. GLADSTONE induced believe
that sir Robert will appoint commissioners to make the
treaty soon as Parliament H prorogued unless he is
prevented by the new movement in Texas.
learn from entitled to tbs fullest credit that
there is here Mr.. Andrews, depued by the sbo-
lionlss OF Texas to negotiate with the British govern
mentthat he has Lore Aberdeen and submitted his
pre- ect the abolition Of slavery Texas which is that
there shall be organized company in England who shah

Texas and receive Texas lands in payment; that the sum

by the Texan minister that Lord Aberdeen has agreed
OF interest on the oaD upon condition that the Texan
government will abolish slavery The consequence would
be that Texas would become depot for runaway slaves
and Q border would commence. A part of the
plan is that Texas shall be placed under the projection of

ion which depends the the value of her whole colonial
ossessons With these and admissions before US,
it becomes for US to ascertain now what the
purposes Of England she refuses to make treaty
securing to her markets. and offers to guarantee
loan to abolish slavery in Texas be no LOIS for
her motive. If she pays $40 900 per annum of
the abohing slavery in Cuba and Brazil because
she cannot compete with their slave what will she not
give to abolish slavery in the United States when

you will control events. Who take ground aganst
you? Will Mr. Calhoun oppose annexation under such
circumstancesS He cannot. II he concurs, Benton
and Van Bnren oppose you? They cannot. II Calhoun,
Benton Van Buren, sustain you Clay oppose you
What Richie say to such movement Can he pre-
fer that Texas should become refuge for runaway slaves

would refer you to the declaration Of Lord Morpeth and
Lord Brougham and the explanation OF Lord Aberdeen,
on the subject of fugitive slaves. They lay down the
broad principle that whatever be necessary to his
escape slave may jusfably do Thus they say that IL
murder theft be to his escape, the British
government will not deliver runaway slave and that
his being slave will exempt him from the provisions of
the late treaty for the surrender Of ugves from Justice
Now suppose that such refuge for runaway negroes
be established in Texas with honor exact
sons from Texas which do not enforce England?
Let me entreat you to meet the crisis-make treaty
for the annexation put yourself before the next Congress-
that issue, and rely the people Rely what tell
you: IT is to become the question which will absorb all
other questions.
