The CooIie slave Trnmc-Nexican
AEnirs,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Having sup
pressed the slave traffic, our government
has taken steps to arrest the Coolle
trade. Captain Napoleon Collins, COM
handing the Sacramento, sailed few
DAYS ago tor China, carrying with him
instructions from the State Department
to look into the Coolie trade, and after
thorough examination report all the
facts to his government, with view to
the early amelioration, If not entire sup
preston of this traffic.
Mr.. Seward had contemplated sending
a special agent to China in this matter,
but as Captain Collins seemed well
qualified to discharge all the duties OF
such mission, was commissioned, and
his repOrt will be looked for with much
interest.
A telegram from Galveston announces
that all troops in Texas have been or
dered to occupy the encampments along
and Immediately in the neighborhoood
of the railroads leading to the Gulf.
This contradicts the idea that troops
are moving toward the Rio Grande,
where there is no enemy.
As far as can be ascertained. instruc-
tons to Minister Dix have but little
reference to Mexicon affairs, our Gov
eminent relying upon Napleon's prom
Use to withdraw his troops from Mexico.
The rumor that Napoleon had notifie d
the Washington Cabinet OF the post
ponement of the withdrawal until
spring is untrue. Our relations with
Mexico are less complicated than late
dispatches from this city would lndi-
cate.
Minister Campbell has no instruc,
tions whatever touching tIipartite
treaty, nor is any French interest to be
considered by him in any way. Neither
is any cession of Mexican territory con
tcmplated by our Government, but

such glorious efforts for the purpose OF
keeping down the burden of debt which
that war has entailed on its national

in the course of the dreadful war which
