PitrNer.—The Official Order to the Admiralty, which I had the honour of transmitting to your High mss on the Vritli, having suspended hostilities against cn sst t Fr,trace, and against French ships carry ing the Waite Flag, I have been %iirected by m) Court, xt•ithont delay, to till your attention to the riec.,:ssity of uardin:.;, under t' ese circumstances, :,ny possible revival cf the Slave Trade. The British Government conceive that nieer the opera i , a the Ls I.f France, as it n-w staads, it is shioly pro:;ibittd to French snljecZs to cArry on a traffic in SI Ives ; and th.a nothing but a •prritie Oi. criald again revive that comtfie Ice : but, whether th;s be the true construcLiin or net of the state of tile law in a technical sense, they feel per suadeit iliac his most Christian Majesty will never lend his ant ;ty to rt vrve a sys..ent of this nature, which has beta, de facto. nb• li died. I have desired Sir Charles Smart t' communicate to yc:ir 1-liphin . ss what pasvd on this subject at Ghent ; the ussina;:ce the. King was at that time pkase,l to give to the British ilmbassaJOr entirely tranquilind the Pr:tice ' Mins:ers on this subject ; b,it now that his Majesty has lwen happily r es tor.n to his throne, they are most asixiiiits to be eliablcd at on:e to teliev-.! the solicitu2.e of the British nation, by declaring. that the ling, relieved by the state in which this itiAasure now stands, horn those •onsid..ratioos ui s.-carve W:11::2a before ioßuenced hi., conduct, does not Itesttate to ciintider that qu svon as now fur ever closed, in cir,formity with those be nevolent priilciplvs which are at all times congenial wish ilia natural feelings of his Majesty's breast.

T 30, 1815 Mr have the honour to acquaint your Excellency; that the King, in conseque.'ce of the conversation he has had with Sir Charles Stuart, and of the letter which your Exaellency did me the honour to write to me on the c l7th instant, has issue d directions, in order that, on the part of France, the traffic in Slaves may cease 404; the present time, every where and for ever. What had been done in this respect by the Userper was in the first place null and void, as were all lei, Decrees, aild moreover had been evidently dictated to him by personal motives of interest, and by bores, which he would never hive conceived, had he been capable of appreciating the British Government and People. It had not, therefore, and could net have any weight with his Majesty. But it was with regret, that, last year, hiq Majesty stipulated the continuance of the traffic fur a few years. He had only done so, because, on the one hand, he was aware that on this point there existed France prejudices, which it was at that time ad visable to sooth ; and that, on the other hand, it was not possible to ascertain with precision, what length of time it would require to remove them. • Since that period tliese prcjirdices have been at tacked in sever.:l publications, and with such effect as to afford his Maje.ty, this dly, the satisfactioh of following, is ithout reserve, the dictates of his inch nation, the more so. since it has been proved, by in. quirie4 made with the greatest care, that the pro sperity of Coe Fzench Colonies not being compro. raised by the immediate abolition of the trade, the said abulitinh is not contrary to the interest; of his subjects, interests which, above all, his Majesty thought himself b.amd to consult. This satisfaction is increased by the idea, thitt his Majesty, at the same time, does %sleet is agreeable to the Government and People of Great Britain. Accep!, my ;Arc!, the assurance, doe.

" ' • FRENCH. PAPERS. • AFFAIR 'OF D LAVALETTL COURT OF CAMATIONO TIRCRAIRER 14. M. Olivier, the Reporter, addressed the Court.— Marie Charman de Lavalette defers to your justice the judgment of the Court of Assize of Paris, cep. demning him to a capital punishment. Whatever be our horror at the attempt Which plunged France in mourning, we are here placed above such consi derations. Guardians of the inviolability of laws and the forms they prescribe, we must contemplate here only the sacred rights of social regulations. M. Olivier read the indictment. The Court now gave leave to M. Darien:, the Counsel of the condenmed, to speak. lie bean by a panegyric on the moral character of his client—l am not ignorant, he s lid, that the Court of Cassa tion ,Ines n t inonounce upon the man, but upon the .vork of the Magistrate. It behoves it, therefie, to ascertain if M. de Lavalette has been legally tried. In the fi; st place, the indictment charges the crime of high treason, By whom can this crime be tried ? By the Chamber of Peers, which, by the terms of the 3:3d Article of the Charter, has alone the right to take cognizance of such tactices. It will, perhaps, be ob jected to me, that M. de Lavalette, in not demand. tug to be sent before the Chamber of Peers, tacitly recognised the competence of the Court of Assize. But of what signification is that ? The crime is na tional ; the punishment ought to be equally national. -Toe silence of the accused, the error of the Judges, cannot, even in that case, give to the tribunal a com petence that does not belong to it, particularly in an offence which relates to public order. The Counsel passed to the second objection.—No citing proves that on the 21st of November, the Jury were present at two Sittings of the night and morning. The Proces Vabal announces the • resumption of the audieuce, but it does not state the presence of the Jury. ThiJ presence being ordered, it is necessary that the prof should be furnished to the accused. Third Ohi'coon.—Nothing is more contrary to 1.4 w than the position of the questions. There existed a principal fact, the usurpation of the functions of Director-Geyer:ll of the Posts. It was u:ion this fact that the Jury should have first decided, whereas toey hegin by presenting to them questions relative to the eircurnoances of this ;act. Foot th 04.ction.—The cont7iivention yr the 370th Article of the Code of Ca leans instrucLion There ex:As no er.ioute o: the decree S:leWiiig that u,c Court had decided 4:you the claim at tOe accuse.:, tt:inlilq to ch..inge tl,e position of toe tiaestar:is. The , i ProcesVerbal says, tii.t the Court rece.ided the claim, but r.o minute of a decree declares it. ___ .._ ...... _. _ _ Filth and Sixth Objections.—lt is notorious that M. Toicy de Villvdien assisted at the irial'as a sup plenientaly Judge. But where is tar p:ouf that lie did not, notwithstanding the text of the law, taki: part in the dt liberation ? I ask what proves that the litesident of the Court at . Assize made known al; tut pr.:souipiions I .v.iurahle to the accused ? A senterr:c which contains such centr..ventions cannot sakast ; and if the intutlicienciut tlie notaas •of the defend..r . c •uIJ injure the success of the appeal, the extent of y.itir knowledge, Gewlemen, and the severity of your attention, will in that case re-assume the accused. M. Muurre, Attorney-General. loiccessively at tacked and overtorew air these objections. It we could admit that the objections to the competence of the Court of Assize were good, it would still be too late. It has never been perntitted to drily after trial, a competence which has been recognised in fat in pleading upon the accusation before a 'lt 'bowl which has proceeded to the trial, heard evidcitce, and pro nounced sentence. But the objection besides is de stroyed by the mere reading of the aricle of the Charter. It attributes to the Chamber ot Peers the cognizance of crimes of WO treason. which shall be detin?d by law. 'No law has yet defined them. "1 he crime which produced the condemnatioh comes within the order ci common law—carried first by a Koyll ordinance before a Court Martial—the con demned demanded to be tried by his natural Judges. Tali he obtained lion: the justice of the King—the Court of Assize wat easentiaily conipetimt. The Proces Verbal of the first sitting expressly, states, that all the Jurors were present "rile subse go:Alt sittings did nut form distinct hearings, but a slaipie cootnivatilit of the first (for the Court of As aize is held not to break up.) The observance of the forms mentiened in the Proces V hl fthe fi _et_d_ o_ __ist hearing extends implicitly to those hearings which are only its sequel, and the state of things is regarded as being always the same, so long as any change which might take place is not legally proved. In the posi tion of the questions the order of the ideas. ot the. spirit and text of the law has been followed. The tact of the usurpation of title and functions, and the fact of implication in the attempt consum mated on the 2Uth of March are, in their nature, so dependent one on thy other, toessentially connected by ' their combination and their result, that it is impossi ble to separate them. The question, as well as the tact, must be imply. The circumstances ought to be brought forward before the crime, because they Are not aggravating but elementary circumstances, And constitutive and creative of the ()deuce. Without them the crime would bot have existed, while in all the other cases to which it has been wished to compare this, the crime might have existed independently of the circumstances. Consequently the Jurors had to deliberate on the fact and ithe circumstances. The intention of the law is fulfilled. The Attorney-General easily chewed that the Pro. ces Verbal sufficiently proved the deliberation of the Court of Assize on the petition of the accused rela tive to the position of the questions. The insertion of that circurnltifiske even in the context of the judg ment was therefore lupe' Suous. 4 was nut !cline:oil) . to presume thabilhe supple ? mentary Judge had p •ci,oaced ittany ail:an - aut), and the silence *4 the _row verbal-+s a sullicidnt !cool' of that. When.the . resioent proposed. to appoint one suppleant Jude: and t wo suaieant Jurors, to re place those wnein'any wiforeseen accidefit might pre vent horn ou t :h.:lag to the whtie of the discussions,. • the accused•consented. But this measure of wean tion.proved uunecessury, 7 its no alteration had taken place either in the composition of the Cunt t or the Jury. , If *ere had, the Item, (verbal would have mentionealt..tineit is silent. 'I flings then remain in the states iss W4iicit they were at the opening of - the Court. • . • The gad; and list objection is answered by the . . . .. . . same observation. It is pleaded that the President ' of the Court of Assize omitted in his summing up, to state to the jury the observations favourable to the accused. It is legally proved that the President did charge the Jury, and his character, knowledge, and long experience, are sufficient pledges that he cannot have neglected any part of his duty. The Attorney !General concluded by moving that the appeal of the prisoner should be 'ejected. After deliberating one hour, the Court pronrunced a decree, the grounds of which were steed with great force and dearness by M. Iltrris, the President. — Contrary to the usual custom, but according to his particular practice. the President did not read the groundt of the decree. but delivered an extemporary statement Of them. The decri.e, io conformity With the motion 44 the Attorney-General, rejected the Al•peal of Marie Cliarnans de Lava!vac. - CHAMBER OF 1/El'll FIE; DFCENIIIMI 14. An extraordinary request was made by M. de So lignac, and other Attorwes (Aretaires), of the Depart• ment of l'Herault. These civil officers make a pre sent to the King of the vanities which they have de posited, on the condition that a change shall be made in the law concerning their prolesston, and that their employments under Government shall be rendered hereditary ? The Committee, says the Repot ter, could not refrain from expressing their surprrt' at such a petition, which displayed more self interest than devotion to the King. The Order of the Day was moved upon it, and cirri ed. The Count de Maximum, Mayor of Badesol, in the Department of the Gironde, presented a memorial. descriptive of the distresAts of the great majority of the Curates ; the object of the petition was, that the Communes should be allowed to grant voluntai y aids to increase the pay of their pastors. The Committee were of opinion, that however im portant and just it might be to give the inferior Clergy the means of comtiirt and proportionate ind.- pendence, such a benek could only result from 1.:•- ?islative interference, and consequently passed to tie Order ot the Day. 'Dila was opposed by the Count de MAICELLt'S, who proprewd mat the p tition should be td. reed by 'the Cbalui;er to the Min ter to wOose D::partment tt PitritlANT being of this opinion, it was refer red armadeligiy.
