Accordin^y, you may assure Her Majesty's Government that his Excellency the President of the Republic, before whom I have laid your note, entirely agreeing with their sentiments, and influenced by a full conviction ttiat the unjust and barbarous traffic in slaves is as repugnant to humanity as it is a scandal to morality and civilization, has not merely contented himself with accepting and following up their invitation, by causing instructions similar to those contained in the above-mentioned c...ircular to be addressed to our agents abroad, but has also thought it expedient to extend its effects as far as is in his power, by directing that such agents, whenever the occasion presents itself, shall use their advocacy with the governments and authorities of the countries where they reside with the same zeal in behalf of the slaves as they would for their countrymen, in fulfilment of their duty, and in as far as is compatible with the exercise of their functions.
Moreover, as his Excellency the President is always ready to embrace every occasion that presents itself of proving to the whole world that his Government will never consent to countenance, even indirectly, any practice tending to encourage the trade in slaves, or their condemnation to compulsory labour, his Excellency would consider himself false to his principles, and as betraying the generous confidence placed in him by the British Government, if he neglected this opportunity of calling their attention, through you, to their recent recog- nition of the insurgent department of Texas, where, it is well known, a vast colony of slaves has been settled, and that hateful traffic is in daily activity, since in that country there are no other hands to draw the wealth from its soil ; and the hatred of the usurpers against people of colour has been carried to such a pitch, that they have even thundered decrees of proscription against that unhappy race, such as to shock humanity, and to rouse the indignation of every govern- ment of enlightened and religious feeling.
