British Correspondence Concerning Texas
United States in all it's details and to it's full extent, the Presi-
dent says, formed part of the compact between the two Countries
for the Annexation of Texas to the North American Confederacy.
It appears, however, from some recent Laws and appointments
in the United States, not merely fiscal, but extending the federal
Judiciary system over Texas that in point of principle there is a
conflict between the Sovereignties, and Legislatures of the two
Countries.
I forward for Your Lordship's examination a Copy of the Con-
stitution of the proposed State,28 begging to observe that I have
marked the passage bearing on this subject.

ELLIOT TO ABERDEEN29
No. 9. Galveston.
Jany. 26th. 1846.
My Lord,
I have the honour to acquaint Your Lordship that the President
left this place a few days since to return to his plantation on the
Brazos, intending to remain there till it is time to proceed to
Austin and meet the State Legislature, convened for the 16th
Proximo.
In his absence, and that of the Secretary of State from Austin,
I have considered myself at liberty to remain where I am, for I
am not in good health; though that circumstance should not have
prevented me from proceeding to any point where the Government
of Texas was residing, and discharging the duty committed to me
in Your Lordship's despatch No. 17 of 1845.
Charles Elliot
