Detat* in the smith Parliament.
A hithl y interesting discussion of Tex
ian and Mexican affairs, took place in
the British Parliament, on the sth of Au
gust—The observations of the speakers,
show that the English arc wide awake,
and are watching our motions with jeal
ouseyes. The following is an abstract
of the debate i
Mr. B. Hoy said, he rose to bring for
ward the motion of which he had given
notice, on this subject He would en
deavor to be as brief as the importance
of the subject would permit him—a sub
ject of the highest interest to the great
cause of humanity, and of immense im
portance to our colonial possessions in
the western world, and to a large body
of our most respectable merchants at
home, who had embarked £"0,000,000 in
the Mexican dominions. What, let him
ask, would be the consequence, if the
United Statas should be suffered to wrest
Texas from Mexico, and to lake posses
sion of it? Would nut Cuba, and the
other Mexican possessions, then soon
fall a prey to the United States ?
Th« laws of Mexico prohibited the
carrying on of the slave trade, and if
this revolted province should remain a
portion of the United States, and should
as such proceed to carry on that abomi
nable traffic, it would directly violate a
treaty made with that country. The
press of America had long taken the part
of the Texians, and had spread the most
exaggerated statements against the Mex
icans; and it was evident, that the inde
pendence of Texas once established, that
province would soon be added to the
federal union of North America. The
number of States in the Union had ori
ginally been but thirteen; they were now
increased to twenty-six; and there could
be no doubt, if Texas were added to that
Union, the basis of the connection would
be, to establish slavery and (he slave
trade permanently in that province. He
begged to ask the noble lord, opposite,
(lord Palmerston) if, within the last ten
days, he had not received an-npplication
from the Mexican government for the
good offices of this country to remon
strate with the United States against the
gross violation of treaties and the aggres
sions of their southern states. The hon
orable member read extracts from speech
es of Mr. Huskisson and of Mr. John
Quincy Adums, to show the importance 1
to America, in a commercial point of
view, of annexing Texas to its territory. I
Unless Mexico was assisted, as she i
ought to be, by this country, she would I
be so weakened as soon to become an ca- s
»y victim to the ambition of (he United t
States of America. The motion with I
which he intended to conclude was, for
an address to (lie crown to take such
measures as were proper for the fulfil
ment of this existing treaty, by which
this country was bound to co-operate
with Mexico. He was of opinion that En
gland ought not only to remonstrate with
America, but have a naval force on the
the coast, to support Mexico against A
merican aggressions.
Mr. 11. G. Ward seconded (lie amend
ment, which involved a subject upon
which he had been long, and was deeply
interested. The importance of the pro- 1
vincc of Texas was but little known in
this house or by the country. The pro- i
vincc itself consisted of a large tract of
the finest land; it had numerous good, 1
and only two bad ports, and would give
to the parties obtaining it, the full com- 1
mand of the whole Gulf of Mexico.
The Mexican government, on its first in
tercourse with this country, an inter
course of increased and increasing com
mercial importance to this country, had
stipulated for the abolition in its terri
tory of the slave trade, and he (Mr.
Ward) could state, that this stipulation
had been most rigidly enforced and ob
served, and he did not believe that there
were now in the Mexican slates, except
Texas, twenty slaves. To Texas the U
nited States had long turned covetous
eyes, and to obtain possession of that
province, had been the first object of
its policy.—During his residence in Mex
ico, America contrived to have a propo
sal made to the Mexican government,
offering 810,000,000 for certain privile
ges in Texas, and that proposition ha
ving been refused, America then pro
ceeded to encourage the settlement in
Texas of the refuse of her own south
ern states, who took possession of the
land without title, or pretension to any
title, and thus drew into it a population
exclusively slave and American.
A declaration of inde|iendonce next
followed. That declaration issued from
men recognising no law, and signed by
only one Mexican, (he president of the
Erovince, a man of talent, it was true,
ut who had dealt most largely in Texian
lands, and sought his own advantage.—
He was supposed to have formed a con
nection *witli some influential men of
the American cabinet, and among them
with Mr. Forsyth. What then had fol
lowed ?—America having created a pop
ulation in Texas in the way he had sta
ted, and having given to it every possible
assistance, a committee of foreign rela
tions in the senate, with a report signed
by Mr. Clay, for whom he entertained a
high respect, discussing the necessity of
recognising the declaration of the inde
pendence of Texas.
Lord Palmerston observed, (hat at the
beginning of the observations he should
have to make to the house, he said that
he did not feel himself at liberty to agree
to the proposal of the honorable member
for Southampton ; he trusted that neither
the honorable member nor the house
would imagine that was a proof that he
did not feel theimportance of its object,
or that his majesty’s government were
not as much animated as was the honora
ble member with the desire to put an end
to those evils which the address he had
moved for mainly related. (Hear, hear,)
He (lord Palmerston) trusted that the
address moved for was at present in some
respects unnecessary, and in other re-
Ects premature. The observations of
two honorable gentlemen who had pre
ceded him, divided themselves into two
differentbranches—the one relating to the
political part of the question, and the o
ther relating to the trade in slaves. With
regard to the political question, undoubt
edly the possibility that the province of
Texas might be added to the U. Slates,
was a subject which ought seriously to en
gage the attention of the house anil of the
country, but he did not think that the
events which had occurred, afforded any
ground For supposing that there was any
such probability of Us occurring, as to
call upon this house to address the crown
with reference to that matter.
The state of Texas at present was this
—a revolt having taken place there, the
Mexican army had been despatched for
the purpose of |puting it down. Their
first operations Mad been greatly success
ful, but a part of the army having very
considerably advanced before the rest, it
was surprised by the Texian force, rou
ted with great slaughter, and the presi
dent taken prisoner. It might be possi
ble that (lie resistance of (he people of
Texas might prevail against the authori
ties of Mexico, but, on the other band,
the numerical strength lay with the array
of the Mexican government, who, from
the lastaccounts which had been received,
were preparing to make fresh efforts to
reinforce their army, ami from what had
already happened, the final result of the
struggle could not be inferred. With
respect to the conduct of the United
■States of America in the matter, although
he was aware that individuals in those
states had given great assistance to the
revolting population of Texas, yet the
conduct ol the responsible government
of America was (he reverse. If regard
were had to the president’s message to
congress, it would be found to contain an
unequivocal declaration of that govern
ment to take no part in the Mexican civil
war, and that in accordance with that dec
laration, orders had been issued to enforce
the laws in prevention of individuals mix
ing themselves up in the matter. He (lord
Palmerston) had that opinion of the honor
ami good faith of the government of A
inerica, as not to suppose that they would
not act up to that declaration ; anil he
thought fresh circumstances ought to arise
before an address should he sent to the
crown on the political branch of the ques
tion. (Hear, hear.)
Now, with respect to that part of the
question, which related to the trade in
slaves, the lion, gentleman opposite had
remarked that no correspondence had
been laid before the house with regard to
the progress or diminution of the slave
trade supposed to exist in Texas, while
other places were given. The fact was
so; and the explanation lie had to offer
was, that his majesty’s government had
no agent in the province of Texas, and
they had only lately received informa
tion from the Britisli minister at Mexico
hearing on (he illicit trade in slaves sup
sosed to be carried on in Texas. It would
be a great evil, much to be deplored, if
the course of the civil war were to lead to
the extension of or rc-cstablishmont of
slavery. That was a matter deserving
the attention of the house; and if the
house supposed that his majesty’s govern
ment were either indifferent or unwilling
to bestow the most vigilant care to pre
vent such an evil, he should be willing to
agree in thinking with (he lion, member
of Southampton, it fitting to admonish
the government in the manner lie propos
ed : but lie (lord Palmerston) assured the
house, the government required no such
stimulus to perform their duty, and he
thought that what they were now doing
might be accepted as a proof that they
were anxious and active in endeavoring
to put down the slave trade in every part
of flic world, and to prevent its springing
up in quarters where it did not already ex
ist; but lie di(| not think there was any
considerable danger of such an evil being
the result of the Mexican civil war, for it
was evident that either Texas must be
conquered and yield to Mexican authori
ty, or that it, by succeeding in its strug
gle, would become an independent state;
or Silly, add itself to the U. S. of Ameri
ca. Now if the M exican authority were
re-established, no more encouragement to
the slave trade would be given in Texas
than in any other Mexican stale.
Again, if the Mexican authority was
thrown off, and the independence of Tex
as declared, it would then he open to this
country to interfere and put down any
trade in slaves (hat might he carried on.
Lastly, if Texas should, in the progress of
events, become a member of the United
States though slaves might
be sent there from other states, there
would be no real danger of the importa
tion of slaves from the coast of Africa or
the islands in the West Indies. He was
inclined to believe that an importation
into Texas of slaves from Cuba had taken
place but he had not heard of any such
information from the coast of Africa.
With regard to the importation of slaves
from Cuba, he must say, that it had oc
curred before the treaty concluded be
tween Spain and this country for suppres
sing the slave trade had come into opera
tion. The statement of the lion, mem
ber for Southampton, therefore, applied
to a time antecedent to the ratification of
the treaty.

IMPORTANT FROM SPAIN.
The brig Montevideo, Capt. F.vuran,
arrived on Saturday, in a short passage
from Cadiz, having sailed on the 6th ul
timo. We learn from Capt. Parran, that
on or about the 23th July, a rising of the
whole population of Cadiz took place,
who loudly demanded the proclamation
of the Constitution of 1812, and being
i joined by a newly raised regiment of
f twelve hundred men strong, they went
in search nl the Colonel in command of
it, who had secreted himself, but being
! discovered, and seeing the military had
I made common cause with the populace,
t he consented to comply with their de
■ mantis, and with all the public functions
• rios, took the oaths required to them.
• The population of Port St. Marys and
■ Xerres were preparing to follow the ex
: ample of that of Cadiz.
The Queen’s government, we are told
has become extremely unpopular, and to
such a height has the dissatisfaction at her
course of policy arisen, that no conces
sion she can now make, will restore hei
,to the public confidence. Isturcz the
new prime minister, is loudly denounced
by (he public voice. General Cordova is
styled a traitor, and it is said his object
is to deliver the English auxiliaries under
General Evans into the hands of Don
Carlos. The movement above mention
ed took place under cries of “ Death to
the Ministers”and “Death to Cordova.
In connecting the name of Don Carlos
with the Constitution of 1812, the people
by no means act from attachment to him,
but say they have no alternative. Indeed,
we cannot perceive how those of Cadiz
and Malaga and Saragossa—at which lat
ter places we learned by the last accounts
from England the Constitution of 1812
had also been proclaimed—can hope to
carry out the principles of that constitu
tion, under a chief who like Don Carlos
has always professed principles diametri
cally opposite to it. This constitution it
will be recollected, was considered by
the other governments of Europe so re
■ volutionary in its character, as to pro
duce not only anarchy in Spain, but in
the surrounding nations, and they there
. fore looked on with the utmost compla
cency when it was put down by a French
army under the Duke d’Angouleme, in
■ an almost bloodless campaign, which en
s ded ridiculously enough, in giving him
■ the title of Duke of Trocadcro.

- On the 28th ult. A. 11. Bitux, a young
- man, a native of Augusta, but for some
- years past a citizen of New Orleans,
- where his good conduct won the favora
-1 blc estimation of every body, was shot
f in the streets of that city by young Gi
quel, also a young man o*f good family
ami standing. We forbear an enumera
tion of the circumstances, which led to
this sad event, and shall only say that
, they appear to place Giquel decidedly in
a the wrong. He was bailed at first on a
. bond of 86000 after a very short investi
t gat ion of the facts, in the absence of tes
a tunony, and was subsequently arrested
, again and put in prison in close confine
i ment, the Judge refusing bail. That the
. public in New Orleans regard the matter
f as we have represented it, as a gross vio
t lation of the laws, the following extract of
f a letter rccived here on yesterday, will
. show.
1 “Giquel was brought before Judge
, Preval to know whether it was legal for
. him to give bail, and it was proved to be
,- murder in the first degree, lie was then
i. put in irons. A few days afterwards he
il was, through the influence of rich rela
. lions, brought before Judge Bermudez,
who liberated him on a bond of 815,000.
J Giquel immediately left the City. The
o community was so exasperated, that a
r mob formed about 11 at night and attack
i- ed'Judge B’s house. The attack was an •
t ticipated, and preparations made to repel
c it. Judge B. and his friends were well
cl armed, and men were stationed in the
is house. John Eagan ami a Mr. Bailey
* t w *re shot and cut to pieces bv them.—
r Bermudez was saved by the heroic con
n duct of his wife; as Ragan drew a pistol
. and was in the act of shouting her hus
o band, she struck up his arm, and the bul
let just grazed his head. She (hen
s caught and held him till her hus
e band killed him. Bailey was shot by a
, young nun the Clerk* of Bermudez,
. named Bauregard, with a charge of buck
r. shot. The Attorney General has, from
. the conductof Bermudez, resigned his
s office. Public sympathy lias never been
j so excited. Eagan and* Bailey were both
j buried on the 6th by a very numerous
procession. All portions of the comma
nity, exasperated at the circumstances, ]
have determined to have justice executed
on Giquel and Bermudez.” .

Attempt to Rescue. — As Messrs. Nasli i
and Finch, deputy sheriffs, were reinov- i
ing Jesse Collier, the alleged slave, from ;
the Recorder’s office to the jail, the '
blacks assembled there, attempted to |
rescue him. Just as they descended the ,
steps ol the Hall, some one in the crowd
exclaimed, “ now’s the time to settle il
and take him away,’’ and a rush was
I made towards the officers —Mr. Boudi
| not saw it, and ran to assist them, but
[ was stopped, and some one exclaimed,
j “let his d d guts out.” Mr. Welch
I came up in time to stop a great he negro
I who was very active, and who re
sented Welch’s interference by squaring
off at him. He was however seized and
secured. The prisoner was with some
difficulty got to the jail, and nothing but
the prompt and decisive actions of the
officers, prevented the rescue.
The names of the principal actors, five
in number, are Thomas Nichols, George
W. Jenning, Win. Riley, and two others,
names not ascertained. The abolitionists
were very active at the Police Office, en
deavoring to save the rioters from the just
punishment they so richly deserve, but
Justice Hopson saw the necessity of act
ing promptly, to check any fuitber simi
lar outrage, and they were all held to
bail for their future good behavior.

. aLffSV ‘he subscriber, a mulatto fcl
j low named BEN, stout made,
/ about five feet eight or nine
>, inches high, thirty-five years
old. He resembles and shows Indian blood, as
his father was an Indian and his mother a dark
mulatto. The only visible marks, arc a scar across
the bridge of his nose, (when ho absconded, the
scar was quite black and had been so for several
years,) which was occasioned from his falling on
a pot; the other mark is a scar on one of his cars,
I am not certain which, but it is quite visible if
examined. He lets his strong black hair grow
long to hide it, and generally wears large whis
kers, and keeps a large chew of tobacco in his
mouth. The above reward will be paid to any
person who will deliver him to the subscriber, or
secure him in any Jail, that I may got him.

P. S.—The above fellow BEN, most likely
passes for a free man, and is a jobbing Carpenter,
or he was perhaps carried off and sold.
. The Editors of the Augusta Chronicle,and Mo
bile Mercantile Advertiser, arc requested to insert
tire above twice a week, for three months, unless
countermanded, and send their accounts to Messrs
