Thy Frensh scheme of Emigration from
the West Cow of AM= is, notwithstsachog

English remonstrances and ebjeetlons, fairly et work.
Cargoes of slaves, paid for on the coast, have gone to
and have. after the usual mortality of the voyage,
arrived in Martinique and Guadalonpe,• there to be
apprenticed and to work foe ten long dreary years
at the miserable pittance of some II francs a month--
which is leta than a free African can earn in theme
islands per week; and out of it has to be gra-
dually deducted the it purchase-money on the coast,
the expense of transporting them to the West
Indies, and profit of M. the contractor. Other
cargoes of human beings, too, hare been landed in
French Guiana—a swampy and unhealthy poems-
Mon, of the value and future importance of which
the Emperor of the FILEN( It is known to
entertain visionary and exaggerated views;
in the =relies of which million., of negroes
mar peri-h without doing France any real service.
and to which the pretence of restoring agricultural
prosperity cannot be applied, seeing that French
Guiana never was, like Guadeloupe or Martinique,
prosperous or productive.
"Ir. l'otraatt. is the British Consul at Lagos; and
the Foreign-office ha, taught the public to plaoe con-
fidence in Mr. Comer it, by especially inviting
etaimercial 'melanin to his report, on kis Consulate,
and by laying his despatches before Parliament. For-
tified by this official ritimate of the value and truth-
fulness of Mr. CAMI'LILLL'S statements, we repeat to-
day the extract from a letter he bas addressed to a
Manchester correspondent, which we printed yes-

',berm when they follow the chiefs to war, they run all the
risks of the musket balk and poisoned snows, sad the chiefs
take mom than the Loa's share of the Mama eaptamid and
plunder taro:

This is indeed a shocking account of the results of
the operations which M. Runts told as the
EMPEROR had personally confided to his knowledge
and experience of African trade; and, although it
may be little more than we had anticipated, when
described as actual occurrences it has an afflictive

reality which no prosper tire apprehensions could

M. Alias, it will be recollected, informed no that
the Imperial Commission entrusted to him directed
him to purchase free Africans. We, in reply, told
that gentleman there were no free Africans to buy.
And what says Consul CAMPBELL ? 4. Ills Imperial
Majesty of France having taken to purchase "—not
free Africans but " shires in this quarter." Thus
the falsehood about a cargo of free Bros boys having
been shipped disappears, and the truth that negroes
in a state of Blaiery at Lagos have been bought
on account of the French Government takes its
place.

- Even if the ease rested here, what a retrogression of
humanity it would involve—what in abnegation and
retreat from the solemn declarations of the Con-
gresses of Vienna and Verona—what a disregard of
Treaties expired or existing with England—above
all, what a crime! The French Government, it is
now established on British Consular authority, is
actually engaged in the African Slave Trade! Seat
is the first fact stated by Mr. CAMPBELL. We pre-
sent it to Lord Pstmeavvost for his consideration,

and inquire: Is it, or in it not, a violation, if
not of the text or the language, at least of the
spirit mid the implied moral obligations of the lest
Slave Trade Treaty concluded between England
and France? lv the end of all our anti-slave trade
diplomacy—the supposed glory of Lord l'Aort-.R.
*TON': administration of Foreign Affairs—this, that
France, alone of Funpran nations, can legally and
safely revive the Slave Trade ? Can it be possible
that France has acquired a lawful monopoly of a sort
of modern Asiento Contract for negro dealing ?
Lagos was only a few years ago the chief seat of
the Slave Trade. At the expense of British trea-
sure, and of British life and blood, we destroyed the
traffic there, awl drove away these man-stealers,
who have just returned. Immediately • large legi-
timate commero. sprang up; Lagoa became one of
the most important ports on the emit for British
trade; and the Governineat, recognising this fact,
sent thither Consul CAMPPILL to preside over it.
That which we thus planted, and watered, and cul-
tivated, and wire reaping. this French scheme of
African Emigration barn come to destroy, and will
destroy. auk.* Lard Psutzairrox can in this quar-
ter be brought to display usefully the shadow of •
shade of that vigour which be so mischievously
exercises, without justificative or excuse, whenever
he can suggest an opportunity, in Brasil.
