The friends of Humanity. the real friends of the United Empire, will rejoice at the refult of the mo tion made in the Houle of Commons laR night. re fpeitiag the abolition of the Slave Trade, which was carried by a very great majority. The period at which the Slave Tt.de (hall ceafe is left for dif eurson. and indeed mull be the principal queßion in the Bill which will now be brought in. The objea of thofe who voted laR night, however. mull be to put an end to it immediately. ' Laft night we received French journals to the gth ; and this day, we believe exclufively, thole of the sorb and 31a. The particulars refpeaing the nomination of Bona PatTS to the Imperial dignity will of coorfe claim the Ira attention, but there is one dircumaance mention ed Wades in there journals which is extremely' im portant.

Now, how ever, it would appear, that his Paussimt Matimy had beak abfolutely obliged to interfere for the fafety of his own dominions, and the reafon of the late namensents among the Prulraps troops is foffieiendy accounted for. To the fame eircomilance may be aft:gibed another event, announced in one of the jour aals, as likely foes to take place ; namely, a perfooal iutarview between the UMW& Autsmosa and the Las aP100116!

The adoption of the above Senator Coquina. has been announced tsi the Paillasse by feveral difcharges of cannom.—(yeeroei du Dams.) MAT 30. The Senate wader the preftdency of Caesareaes. decreed in the fitting of yefterdwy, at which the Coen fill Lesion drafted, and all the Minifiers were precast, the organic Sasser Confohoo, which confers the title of Emperor on the FIIIT Cousin, and efiablifites the imperial dignity hereditary in his family. It in- Bandy decreed that the Members IhoaM imme diately repair to St. Cloud. to parent the organic &moo Geoff Tom to the Emperor. They let outafter the elate of the fitting. accompanied by feveral bo- dies of troops. The Senate on its arrival being immediately ad mitted to an audience of the Emperor, the Conrai l Caseaceass, the prefideat, prefented the organic Smear Ceefekom to the FOIST Consul., and (poke ea follows : " Stan—The decree which the Senate haspaifed, and which it takes the collet opportunity ofprefeot: ing to your Imperial Welly, is only the authentic expreffion of a will already =snitched by the nation. This decree, which confers on you a new tide, and which after you fccures the dignity hereditary to your race, adds nothing either to your glory or to your rights. The love and gratitude of the French voo ple have, for four years, estrufted to year Majely the reins of Government, and the Conftiratione of the State repofed in you the choice of a fucceffor. The more auguft denomination decreed to you, is then only a tribute which the nation pays to its own dig nity, and to the neeelfity it experiences of giving you daily teftimonies of refpea and of attachment, which every day increafe. " How could the French people find bounds to its gratitude, when you place none to your care and fa licitude for it ? Preferring the remembrance of the evils which it fuffered when abandoned to itfelf; how could it retie& without enthuftatm on the happinefs it has experienced, fioce Pacsvioaeca infpired it with the idea of throwing itfelf into your arms ? Its armies were defeated ; its finances were is diforder ; public credit was annihilated ; rations were difputing for the remains of our ancient fplendour ; every idea,of morality, and even of religion was &feared ; the habit of giving and returning power, left the Magif 'rates without confideration, and even rendered °is mss every kind of authority.—Your Majefty ap peared; you recalled viaory to our ftandards ; yea eftablithed order and economy in the public ea- 1 ponces ; the nation, encouraged by the safe you made of your authority, retuned confidence in its own refources ; your wifdom allayed the rage of party ; religion faw he altars railed up; ideas of jut- Lice and injuftice were awakened in the minds of the citizens, when they law crimes followed by punilh ment, and sirtues fignalifed and rewarded with ho nourable diftintlions. In the lea place, and it is no doubt the greatell of the miracles operated by your genius, that people, whole civil:efferrefcence had ren dered them impatient of every reftraint, and hoftile to every authority, you were by your means made to cherith and retpee a power which was exercifed only for their glory and revile. The French people do not pretend to eftahlifis thankless judges of the Conftitutions of other States; they base no critical semarka to make ; no temples to follow ; experience in future will imams thei r guide. They Imre tailed for ages the advantages at tached to hereditary power ; they !whoa& a !horn hut painful trial of the contrary fyitem : they return by the circa of free and mature deliberation to a path faked to their genius. They make - a free ale of their rights, to delegate to your Imperial WORT a power which your intim& forbids you to satercife 6y yourfelf. They Ripulate for future generations, and by a foliose comma enema to the offspring of your race the happinefs of their pawky.
