anu Is well known both to the United States and to the whole world, that Great Britain desires, and Is constantly exerting herself to procure the general abolition of slavery throughout the world But the means which she has adopted, and will continue to adopt for this humane and virtuous purpose, are open and undisguised. She will do nothing secretly or underhand She desires that her motives may be generally understood, and her acts seen by all.

 With regard to Texas, we avew that we wish to see slavery abolished there, as else where, and we should rejoice if the recogni- ton of that country, by the Mexican Govern a.2at should be accompanied by an engage- mcnt on the part of Texas to abolish slave " eventually, and under proper conditions, throughout the Republic. But although we earnestly desire. and feel il to be our duty to promote such eonsummatien, We shall not interfere, uuduly, or with an improper assumption of authority. with either party, i'll order to insure the adoption of such course. We counsel but we shall not seek to compel, or unduly control, either party. So far as Great Britain IS concerned. provided other States act with equal forbear- ance, those Governments will be fully at liberty to make their own unletiered arrange ments win each other, both with regard to the abolition of slavery and to all other points.

 Great Britain, morever, does not design 10 establish in Texas, whether partly dependent on Mexico, or entirely independent, (Which latter alternative We consider in every respect preferable,) any dominant influence She only desires to share her influence equally with all other nations, Her objects are purely commercial, and she has no thought or in- tention of seeking to act, directly or indirectly in political sense, on the United States through Texas.

 The British Government, as the U. States well know, have never sought in any way to stir up disafection or excitement of any kind to the s+ayeholdiHg States of the American Union. Much as VIC should wish 10 sec those States placed on the firm and solid foot ing which we conscientiously believe to be attained by general freedom alone, we have never ln our treatment of them made any difference between the slaveholding and free States of the Union. All are, in our eyes, entitled, as competent members of our Union, to equal political respect favor, and forbear- anee, on our part. To that wise and just policy we shall continue to adhere; and the Government of the slaveholding States may be assured that, although we shall not desist from those open and honest efforts which we have constantly made for procuring the abo- Iition of slavery throughout the world, We shall neither openly nor secretly resort to any measures which can tend to disturb theii internal tranquility, or thereby to affect the prosperity of the Union.

 Y ou will communicate this dispatch to tht U. s. Secretary of State, and if he should de sire ii, you will leave a copy of it with him
