One of the niot important articles es.: foreign intelligence is the abolition of the Slave Trade by the French Government contbrmably to the Treaty. It is extremely grr i vif:ing to witness the pro gress that is making in. this desirable °Wet, and as the • various powers cc are ;tending assistance • tr , wards a total al'olition, by their public acts, we trust will adopt the most effectual measures for the epression of private rapacity and rhodestine traffic. It appears that negociations arc carrying on with the King of the Netherlands upon the same subject. The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies appointed eventire.t. Project •of the Concordat, is said to 'rave ern:plc:ea its I•hbonrs, and anthorised M. Riviere to report the result. Cbarles .Min, the new King of Sweden, has been formally acknowledged by Louis XVII I. and his Minis ter received at Court. Trench Mitch, and Flanders mai:6 have reached us stice Saturday lest. They . ebntain no intelligence of peculiar moment. The statement is repeated that the Ilishopries will be rarli:ced below the number contem ' Z ; and by the provision:: of the Concordat.

Parliament adje:rned on Thursday-r ntil the • Cii•irif April, and it appears that there is no probability of a dissolution at present, Ministers having come to a determination to postpone it until after the harvest.— It would certainly be attended with ninny inconve niences were it to take place just row, though we shall be very glad when the Country is relieved from the ferment and confusion which el ways attcnds a General Lkctior.. In the coarse of flirt debate on INT‘xltiesiar a most gratifying piece inteliig7mee was conimnincated to the house by Lord Ca:alereagh.

The-Bank Directors have.given notice that they are ready to i'sue to the Bankers in London, 20,0001. in Silver Coin of the realm, provided application be made before the sth of July next. Some of oar contempora ries have expressed a hope that tins is the prelude to the resumption of Cash payments, in which hope we cor dially join, as we think it is highly important, for va rious reasons, that no time shouie be lost in effecting this desirable object.

A new Tragedy,' called TL: .11k:dercd Maid, hac been produced at the Sunderinr.:l theatre, the story of which is founded upon that of Mary sAshfurd, Incledon was singing the latter end of January hist, with much success, at the Boston Theatre; so that the report of his death, from New York, is in all probabi lity unfounded. The cause alter Royal Highness the Princess ef Wales against-the Assignees of the I)uke of Brunswick, in the Court of Chancery, has excited much curiosity.' It is said, that, in the month of May last, her Royal High ness transmitted two bonds. one in German, and ouc in French, to Mr. Canning, with a request that he would apply for their liquidatien, instead of addressing them to her own regular Trustees. Why she chose 'Mr. Canning as her agent in this business may easily be accounted for. 'There are circumstances attending those bonds, which induced the • Trustees to hesitate as so;heir discharge. •- fiat affidavit of Count ster was thought irsoflicient to authorise the Lord Chili:a-nor to call tin the pruduct:on of the dociutiewJ. A second affidavit has been now. made, but which, :coin delicacy, was not read in Court. 'We understand, however, it states the grounds of distrust upon which •the Earl of Liverpool and Quint Munster have resisted the payment of the • bond::_ The circumstances are strong ; and- -which Count Munster would „riot have stated, but for the observation of the Court, that rea sons must be assigned for departing from the est:::. practice.-.-Courier.
