Lord CaMiamian's Note, and the answer of M. fie TALLEYRAND, on the subject of the Slave Trade, wili be perused with pleasure by every good man.,— T•le acknowledgement of the latter, of the effect of Pio Press in removing those prejudices which had ••early givea an indefinite procrastination to the pe iiad of abolition, furnishes a new proof, were proofs wanting in the world, that this powerful engine ought never to be restrained, on any pretext whatever. To the triumph of Justice but one measure is now wanting. In every late proceeding of the European Powers, the existent* and binding obligation of Na. tut al and Gtneral Law has been recognized, and, as far as they have yet had the means, has been acted upon. Its dictates have been embodied in their pro ceedings, and the general principle, that no State can :lave a right, on any pretext of expediency, or indivi dual advantage, to pursue' a line of policy injurious to its neighbours, has been Acknowledged to include, as it ought tab do, every man who has bad the mis fortune to fall among thieve:, la his colour be what it will. In conformity with this principle, it has been agreed to arm Europe against the Barbary Powers. This every friend of humanity approves. But let Europe. not delay to purify her own domains from the re mains of so foul a commerce. There are vet two powers in her community which allow the execrable 31ave Trade to be continue.l. In other words En rope still all;wr two families of her children to perpe rate all the foul climes connected with this wicked raflic. Europe, in her new, her regene: ated condi -ion, has no right to wink at the crimes of any of her ag.iiiht the General Law. Let Sp tin and ?or:ugal be commanded to put an end to the Slave Tr..de ;—that is, let the European Powers at once de 71are this tr. - Lk to be generally unlawful, declare the hips (no matter by whom owned or navigated) •vhich may be :ound engaged in this commerce lawful prizL ; and let the crews be treated as pirates. This '.:tw is imperiously called for. It v:ould he, we shall not say disgraceful, but, criminal in the great Powers • .) waste time in negociating with such States on such question. • Yesterday evening we received the Paris Papers of Friday which were missing. The proceedings on LAVALETTS'S Appeal are given in another column. The effect of the exertions rude by his friends to obtain his pardon will probably I rove abortive. In the line in which he moved I:e was, in principle, more decidedly a villain than NEI' who has already paid the forfeit of his rebellion. To-day we received a supply of Brussels and frankfort Papers. They furnish us with some inte resting details, which we subjoin. The Elector of HESSE CAbSEL, in imitation of the King of WURTENI• BERG, has refused to give an asylum to the Traitors comprehended in the King of FRANCE% Ordonnance f the 24.:h of July last. Of this number, we find a rniscreant, named REAL, has taken up his residence at Brussels : how far it is prudent in any regular Government to suffer persons of Rsal.'s character find principles to be at large, a shortacccu3t of his former life will enable our Readers to decide. REAL was first known as an Orator in the Jacobin Clubs of 1789, 1790, and 1791. During the same period, in conjunction with MEIIEE DE Le Toucue, of infamcus notoriety, he edited a blasphemous and trea sonable Journal at Paris, called 66 Le Pa:ride." In 792, his zeal in the cause of Jacobinism was reward rd by the place of Public Accuser to the Revolu : onary Tribunal. Among the first victims of REAL's flry was the Swiss General BACHMAN, who was r•aillotined for defending the Rofal Palace on the • .ernorable 10th of August, which was construed by tzar, into a 16 conspir.tcy azainst the Sovereign ' , !ople." On passing sentence, REAL exhibiteJ the ft,llowing specimen of Jacobin logic :••••il have two • -msciences : the one accprits thee, not only as an nocent, but as a just and brave man ; but the other rondenms thee, to save the country, :Ind to inspire rror to innocence as well as to guilt." With MARAT, SANTERTIE, TALLIES, and other -r•rthies, REAL organized the massacres of the it:riot -late prisoners of Paris in September, 179'.!, and he rrte the offici•tl latter which DA NTEN signed as r of Justice, in which the Departments were in •• :cd to imitate the example of Paris, "to empty all .e prisons, and to dispatch all the prisoners as ene. • ies to liberty and equality !" The consequence of is circular was the massacre of upwards of 20,000 risoners, confined as suspected only, in different jails France. When MARAr was assassinated, REAL -onounced his funeral oration in the Jacobin Club. fter -some fulsome and disgusting panegyrics, he ..us conc►uded : "Brothers and Friends, the virtuous shadeof MARAT ust offer in the purganry of equality until it is re • aged—let us release it by sacrificing to his manes all dined, suspected or imprisoned persons. Yes, continucd) gratitude and humanity demand those numerous sacrinces and the annihilation of a miliporsien (only 250,000) and the unworthy part of the present generation, will preserve future genera tions from the chains of Royal tyrants and the gib bets of Kingly executioners." Subsequently, Reax defended, as public advocate, those who were accused of the atrocious murders committed by the revolu tionary Committees of Nantz,Lyons, and Lavendee ; and in 1795, still true to his creed, he published a defence of Bonaparte's massacre of the inhabitants of Park, in that year. For this Pamphlet he was made, by the Corsican Butcher', a Counsellor of State; and, in 1804, he el...vated to the station of Director of French oflice which the mild and virtuous FouctlE h.,,! ju, t resigned. REAL continued from this period to enjoy a high share of his Master's favour, and during the late Usurpation, was made a Peer and Senator. HAGUE, DECEMBER 13. After a month's interval the States General have resnmed their Sittings. Though the severe cold had hindered many Mem bers from being present, yet there being five more than was required by the Constitution, the Sittings of the second Chamber opened at noon. After some preliminary business, Baron Van Lynden van Hoevehaken, the Presi dent, announced that he had received the following Message and Project of a Law, which were read : High and mighty Lords—At the moment when I made with my august ally, the Emperor of all the Russias, the first arrangements for the marriage of the Prince of Orange, the interests of the State were not less present to my thoughts than the future hap piness of my beloved son. 66 On this last head, the virtues of the Grand Du chess Anne could leave no doubt; and I feel the most lively jay in seeing such an intimate connection formed between my family and a House as distill- guished for its eminent qualities, as for the extent of its power, and in which the most glorious prosperity has only served to display in higher lustre the noble sentiments of love, humanity, and moderation. ~ but the projected union has appeared to me equally desirable in a political point 4 view : it most consolidate and bind more closely the ties of attach ment and veneration which have long since united I me with The Emperor Alexander; it t ff2rS a new support to the interests which the commercial part of the nation must cultivate in the North of Eutope ; lastly, it guarantees to the whole kingdom the durable kindness of a Court which has so powerfully contri buted to the work of its foundation. 66 Such are the considerations which have induced me, as well as the Queen, to give full consent to the marriage of the Prince.of Orange to Madame the Grand Duchess Anne Paullwna. One of my first cares is to communicate it to the Representatives of the Nation ; and if after their acknowledged attach ment to the interests of the country, and to those of my house, they participate in the satisfaction of sn remal kahle an event, 1 may expect with confidence the co-operation which the Constitution has required on the Matt of the States General, for the marriage of those Princes wile may be called to the Throne. 4 , Such is the object of the annexed Project of a Late, which I tubmit to your deliberations, praying Gon to keep you, High and Mighty Lords, under his hely protection. (Signed) 66 WILLIAM. " lla, u.:, Dec. 11, 1815." " We, WiLi.i,os, by ti , e Grace of Goo, &e.

For these reasons, by the advice of our Council of State, and in concert with the Sutes-General, we have decreed, as we decree by these presents, to give our consent to the marriage of our beloved son the Prince of Orange with *her Imperial Highness Ma dame the Grand Duchess Anna Paulowna.

BRUSSELS. DECEMBER 14. Today there has at rived from Paris a convoy of precious effects belonging to the King of Spain, which Joseph Bonaparte had taken at the moment of his retreat. The v.tlue of these effects is incalculable., They are entrusted to Colonel Miniussi, an officer in the Spanish service, to accompany them to Antwerp with a detachment of the English cavalry, whiny they will be embarked for Spain. Count Real, Counsellor of State under Bonaparte, charged with the sec"nd Arrondissement of the Po lice of the Greta En,/,ire, has been here fop.some days. Included in the Royal Ordinance of the 24th July, he comes, like many others, to seek an asylum in an hospitable country, where liberty, and great and ge ticrnis ideas, are wit vain words. The list column of the 6th Prussian corps is ar rived in this city, which concludes the passage of those troop. It seems we shall have here a garrison composed of rational emit, and that it will be lodged in barracks. • LAUSANNE, DECEMBER S. Huninguen looks now like a village surrounded' with ruins and composed of a few streets draws at right angles. It may make an agreeable appearance when the ruins and the barracks a►e removed. The environs of Basle are covered with bricks, and they are continually bringing more. l'!:e quantity is so great, that all the brick•kilns .of liable have left off work, and it is not likely they will begin again for a long time to come. Every day new ruins . are sprung, which arc fre. l quently attended with fatal accidenri; On the 25th, a drummer, who was beating Ins droM to warn the spectators to retire, was thrown down by the concus• sion of the air. On the 30th, four mines were sprung in less than two minutes : the explosion was so vio. lent, that all the houses at Huninguen seemed to be falling—all the windows were bt oken. Enormous stones flew on every side. Another Austrian Ser. jeant was killed ; an Officer had bir arm broken ; several persons of both sexes were wounded. MUSSELS, DECEMBER 1.5. It is affirmed that by a Royal Decree which w;11 shortly appear, all public spectacles will br during the Holy Week, the four great festivals in the year, and on' the Corpus Christi and Assumption. Such a regulation has been long called for by all those who desired to see the Catholic religion sur rounded with the respect of the people. The Swiss troops commanded by Colonel Ziegler, have kit us and are gone to Holland. VIENNA, DECEIVER 5. By private letters from Servia, of the `_'oth N 'stem ber, affairs in that country seem to take a pacific turn. The fortresses of Servia and Palanken, were occupied by the Turks. The corps of 1'2,000 Ser. vians, near Ostruschniza, was dissolved, and Soliman Dacha, the ancient G.vernor of 11. !grad..., beheaded near Negotin ; and the Servian nation had env.aged to pay annually to the Porte 7000 purses, and in case of war with a foreign power, to bring 13,000 men into the fiLld. TAVTM:IEI 8. Yesterday the Wio ks of Art and Science, tl:e A. tlytities, Scc. tecovered flora Palls, were replaced with great ceremony, in the places to which they belong. FRANKFORT, DECEMBER H. The Elector of Hesse Cassil has adopted, re specting the individuals named in the Ordinance of 2.1. th of July, the same measures as thr King of Wut temburg. Quebec Papers to the sth ult. and Charlston to the Bth have reac::ed town ; they contain nothing of mo ment. The English residents have taken into consi deration a plan for making new roads to extend to the Lakes St. Lawrence and Champlain t this is done with a view to encourage a commercial intercourse with the Americans in that quarter. The comple tion of the scheme would reduce considerably the prices of Amu-jean articles compared with what is now paid. The project for a canal from Albany to Lake Erie is revived, which is expected to prove of great national benefit. Monday afternoon the Archdnkes inlirt and LEWIS arrived in town at their house in Stratford-place from their journey to Edinburgh. Lord FALMOUTH is expected in town the latter end of this week, from his seat, Tregothan, Cornwall. On the 11th instant Lord DtiNoas was elected Preses of the Society of Scottish Antiquarians. The Marquis of TWEEDALE has been chosen Preses of the Caledonian Hunt, which is to be held in Octo ber, at Edinbuigh. Yesterday a general rehearsal of the new Panto mime, at Covent Garden Theatre, took place by all the performers. The music is by Mr. WARW., the Leader of the Band- MAIDSTOIig PEDESTMAN—Sixteenth Day—Turne started yesterday morning at half past two, and, with the assistance of his son, at nine o'clock in the mir ing had entered on their 59th mile. There having been a heavy fall of snow in many parts of the country, particularly in Lancashire, and in all the roads leading to Manchester, it is from II to 14 inches deep ; so that travelling has been consi derably impeded, and the mails from every road into' that town were on Monday last nearly two hours after their usual time of arrival. The present reduced value of land was singularly manifested at the late disposal of a farm in the pos. session of Mr. ENGLAND, at Bislay's Lydeard The rent of the lease, just expired, was £3OO per an num, and the tenant paid for repairs and all cut. goings. At the letting by auction, a few days since, of the same farm, the utmlst bidding was £ll6, and out of this the landlord is to pay all nut. goings, and allow for repairs—thus reducing the nett rent to little more than d.SO per annum. The farm consists of 105 acrts. Last Friday, a poor man, named Stanford, travel ling from Brighton to London, was stopped between Tooting and Clapham by Once daring tcllows, who knocked him out of his cart, and cruelly rifled him of all his money, after beating him smeless. The following parigrapit relating to an English man of distinction, is extracted from a French palm., tinder the head of Fundi, November 29:—" Lord Abukir Lowis has been brought into mit town in a litter—his carriage, di iven by a drunken postilion,: was r vcrturned, and precipitated the Noble Lord , from rock to rock, to the bottom of a valley, where he tell, severely wounded, a , ;d without any signs of life. The Dean of the Civic Council, apprised of the sad event, hastened to send assistance to the Noble. man. It was at first thought that this accident was intentional, for the purpose of robbing the carriage, which was said to contain valuable effects, and much gold, but every thing being lout. J, the Not postilion bas been fully justified." tliA A psi of the 16th Drrgoons, and the 28th and 42d Regiments of Foot, land. d at I) ver yestbrd:ty morning from Calais ; the 11ragoons marched nn for .

SIR—As Peace has now taken pl4ce, and many Officers will have nothing to depend upon but their half-pay, I beg leave to offer an idea through your respectable Journal, whereby relief may he afforded without expence to the country. When a man of war is paid off, the Warrant Officers, with a few mesh are all that remain on board. Now the appointment of a Lieutenant to each ship, to superintend those aboard. would, I humbly conceive, neither be an injury to the e ice nor ezpence to the country ; and the Offic.'r would have a comfortable house, if I :any so spy: k, for himself and tanuly, flee of rent and taxes.
