[TM: TIMES.I
ought to be with some expressions of stir-
vrize, that we present the speech of Made Cha
tociubriand to the public this day for, from the
ass,nrauces which we have every reason to sup-
pose he. gave the British Government, we should
have 'had a• right to expect a pacific speech;
and, we believe, through such an expectation,
not only the measures of the British Cabinet,
nut even the decision of the British Parlia-
ment, has been suspended with respect to
the aggression on Spain. But we knew that
-vain flighty creature too well, to be de-
ceived by his professions : perhaps he meant,
that if our Ministers would but wait for his
speech, they would be,bverpowered by his argu-
trents : and Iyhilst they expected professions of
peace, would find themselves almost magically
convinced of the necessity of war! However,
be that as it may, the speech comes forth, and is
at least as warlike as that of M. de Chateau-
triand's brethren. It asserts the same doctrine,
adds nothing to the reasoning.

[NEW TIMES.)
Alive as we are to every occurrence connected
with the abolition of that abominable traffic, the
sl%ve Trade, we feel highly gratified in being ena-
bled to announce to our Readers, from undoubted
authority, the treaty made and signed on the 9th
September 18S2, between the Government of
Mauritius and the Imaum of Muscat, abolishing
for ever the Slave Traffic through all the exten-
sive dominions and dependencit4 of that Sove-
reign, extending front the 'Portuguese possessions
of Mozambique to the Persian Gulf, including
the great mart and emporium of Zanquebar, and
thus leaving the Eastern hemisphere, from 'the
Cape of Good Ilope to the Ganges (except the
points of Mozambique and, Goa), clear of a stain,
_which from countless ages has perpetuated bar-
barism on the richest coast of the known world,
kept their nation in a state of seclusion from the
rest of mankind, and prevented that honourable
and lucrative commerce whiCh the gold and ivory
end gems of, the golden Saffula, Tarshish; and
Ophir, would naturally have attached a corn-
nerce, which in the early ages rendered the
merchants of Tyre Princes, "and her traffickers
the honourable of the earth."

[MORNING- POST.]
The case of Mr. Bowring was -last night
brought before the House of Commons by Lord
A. Hamilton. A most complete answer was
given by Mr. Secretary Canning,: and it was
proved, to the satisfaction of all parties, that
every thing had been done that Government '
could do to obtain justice for that individual, ac..
cording to the laws of- France. To expect that
the English mode of doing justice should be
adopsd wherever a British subject may be found
is a little too much ; and the shallow talkers
wit 6 would contend for this ought, itt their love
of national independenCe, to remember that
other countries 'have laws as well as Englandi
and `it is not their province. to legislate, any more
ditto is that of our Ministers to govern, all the
reo of the world. ,The motion for papers on this
subject was, of coirse, negatived without a divi.
sion.•

Considerable sensation has been produced by
the speech of M. de Chatexubriand, which is of
the, most warlike character. This champion of
Coninitntionul Monarchy turns round on the Mi-
nisters of this country, and tells them—you of all
ersons are the last who ought to oppose France
t her attempts agehist Spain; you approve of
the invasion of France, and you approve of the
jt2t+►tsio:t of Naples; and our title 'to itiieoe Spain
is the same which was allowed in those two
ases. Lord Castlereagh, says M. de Chateau-.
briand, acknowledged in his Circular that
Austria had the right of destroying. at Napks
the 'Constitution of the Cartes ; and she can-
mil refuse to France the right Of destroying at
Madrid institutions which are equally fatal to
b He was not probably eware that Mr. Can.
ang had advisedly acknowledged in his, place in
Parliament his approbation of the principles of
theiteircular, by way of getting rid of the conse•
quentfe§ of a compliment nf Lord Milton, imply.
or, cilepartnie from the Castlereagh System.—
We 'we pleaied with the sentirnonts avowed by.
Lard Liverpool, the first night of the Session, by
M. Canning at Harwich, and Mr. Huskisson at
ieiterpeol, which amotinted virtually to a remits.
elation of the principles to which M. Chateau.
btland appeals. We have not the smallest doubt
(ntitwithstanding the recantation which Mr. Can.
sins has ire been probably forced to mate to
lip -pease the admirers of Lord Castlereagh in the
Ciihluet) that all these three individuals are now
satisfied of their error respecting the revolutionary
-wertinsil the iniiaßion of Naples But they have
sot the courage to condemn openly and directly
the principles which for thirty years have been
thr, creed fkf their party.
