In the four first cases, Con gress were restrained from increasing the rower to exclude Slavery ; in the next three they exercised this power ; and in the last it was unnecessary to do so, Slavery being excluded by the State Constitution. The province of Louisiana, soon after its cession to the United States, was divided into two territories, comprehending such palis thereof as were contiguous to the river Mississippi, being the only parts of the province that. were inhabited. The foreign langUage,- laws, customs, and manners of the inhabitants, re quired theiminediate and cautious attention of Con gress, which, instead of extending, in the first in. stance, to these territories, the Oidinance of 1787, ordained special regulations for the government of the same. These regulations were from time to time reiised and altered, as observation and experience sheaved to be expedient, and as was deemed most likely to encourage and promote those changes which would sv,,n qualify the inhabitants for self-govern• meat and admission into the Union. 'When the United States took possession of the province of Louisiana, in 1804, it was estimated to contain 50;000 white inhabitants ' 40,000 slaves, and 2000 free per sons of 'colour . * More than four-fifths of the whites, - and all the Slaves, except about 1500, inhabited New Orleans and the adjacent territory ; the residue, con sisting of less than 10,000'whites, and about 1300 Slaves, were dispersed throughout the country, now included in the Arkansas and Missouri territories.— The greater part of the 1: 1 .00 saves were in the Mis souri territory : some of them having been removed thither from the old French Settlements on the East side of the Mississippi, alter the passing of the Ordi nance of 1787, by which Slavery. iu those settlements was abolished. MEETING ON THE SUBJECT OF 614 VERY. Pascua= to public notice, a Meeti4 of the Citi zens of the City and County of Philadelphia was held at the St ice House on the 29d November, 1819: Jared Ingersoll, Esq. presided, and Robert Ralston acted a , . Secretary. The Meeting, one of the largest and most respectable ever convened here, was opened by Horace Binney, Esq. in au impressive address; after which the following Resolutions were unani mously adopted That in the opinion of this Meittbag, it will be inconsistent in principle, unwise in poSey, and ungenerous in , to allow States hereafter to be created Members of the AateAcaa Vales, to establish or tolerate Slavery within their juriadicdos; and that every lawful means sheik be employed to prevent w great a moral and p?litical tranagreedoe. That this Meeting will adopt a Memorial, to be signed by our Fellow Citizens, imploring the Congress of the United States to mart all their constitorional power foe the prevention of Slavery in States hereafter to be admitted into the Upton. That a Committee of Correspondence, consisting of twisty five, be appointed ; that they be re qu ested to droalate them pre. ceediap throughout the State et Pemserlvania ; and be think* authorised to make such publications in support of the opinftimm of this Meeting as they may deem proper. • This estimate was too high, as by the Census of 1810, the whole province was found to contain only 97,000 inhabitants, fig 52,000 whites, 57,000 slaves, 0000 free persons of colour. ST. PETERSBURgH, NOVEMBER 27. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. • After the death of two Ministers, viz. the Minister ' of the Interior, M. de Kowdavlett, in the month of August, and the Director of the Ministry of the Po lice' Count Vjasmitinoff, in the month o f O c t o be r , the Emperor was pleased to make some changes in the different Departments which compose these Ad ministrations. The Ministry of the Police is sap pressed, and the Police Departments are incorporated in the Ministry of the Interior, which is placed under the direction of Count de Kotchouby. The Post ofiice Department, and that of Internal Manufactures and Commerce, whirl: formerly belonged to the Mi uistry of the Interior, are now separated born it.— The former is, until further orders, placed under the administratiotrof Prince Alexander Galitsin, Minis ter of Worship and Public Instruction : the latter is joined to the Ministrrof the Interior. Count Vjasmitinoff was a General of Infantry, and had reached the age of eighty-eight. Recommenced his military career in a very low rank; and it was his merit alone that raised him to the highest in the service. During the frequent absence of the Em peror in the course of the war, er for the purpose of attending Congresses, the Count was, in consequence of his Majesty's confidence, invested with the supreme authority in the administration of the Empire. Count de Kotchouby has, since the accession of the Emperor, been always honoured with his Majesty's particular confidence. While Minister of the In terior, from 1802 to 1808, he brought that part of the Administration to a state of perfec tion, which procured him the approbation of hirereign, and the esteem- of the Public. Being obliged to resign, in consequence of bad health, brought on by his in . defatigable attention to business, he notwithstanding continued .to take parr in the Administration, u a Member of ,the Supreme Council of State. The . 1:.
