GOVERNMENT OF OUDE.

The following is a copy of the Proclamation of
the Government of Oude, prohibiting the slave
trade in that territory. It is dated the 20th of
March :

" Whereas repeated reports have reached our
most blessed ears, that slave dealers, and, tifter their
example, sandy persons of other tribes, kidnapping
male and female children, sell them. And whereas
no practice can be more detestable than this, for it
is nothing short of the destruction' of human life; and
whereas belongs to our Majesty the pre,,erration of
the people of God committed to our care, and we
do not permit injury to be done even to an ant,
much less can our Majesty see unmoved the de-
struction of human beings. It is therefore our
Royal wish that this horrible practice of kidnapping
be at once eradicated from our Royal dominions,
and that this vile custom of buying and selling hu-
man beings be entirely and ab-olutely interdicted.
We therefore command that no one, under arty pre-
tence or plea whatever, buy or sell human beings,
and that the officers, both judicial and ministerial,
of the capi,al, and throughout our Royal dominions,
deem it imperative, and incumbent on them to be
ever watchful that this nefarious practice do not
occur in any place whatever, anti that from those
men whom they may suspect of having any coil-
nexion or participation in this horrible practice, they
require a penalty bond, and even sureties for good
behaviour, otherwise to banish them from our Royal
territories. Iu this we command the officers afore-
said to be unremittingly vigilant and alert ; and if
any one, after the issue of this mandate, be found
guilty of this nefarious practice, he be apprehended
and an immediate report made of the circumstance
to our exalted Majesty, that whatever punishment
we may be pleased to award in his behalf be forth-
with carried into effect. And if there be any diffi-
culty in the apprehension of such delinquents, the
same may be reported to our exalted Mlesty, with,
out loss of time, that the Royal mandate be issued
for their apprehension. Let this Proclamation be
promulgated in all the alleys and streets by the bat
of drum, and copies of it in the Persian and Ilindoo
languages be suspended in all the Kutcheries civil
and military, in all public places of the resort of
men, that the sellers of human beings shall hereafter
be sentenced to imprisonment for life in chains, and
the
informer of such clandestine dealings shall retk,:ve a
at- chat

suitable reward. But if any one connive at such, ire
shall be punished accordingly."

ket has been very firm to day, and very full prices hwe
been obtained ; the sales have amounted to ahour. 2,000
bags, principally American descriptions, 500 of which have
been taken by speculators.

FORGERY.—This species of crime will, in
future, he punished with increased severity, from which
the delinquents can have no chance of escaping The
Judges have now been empowered to order those con•
victed to four yeas' imprisonm-nt, and to be kept to hard
labour in this country before the term of transprtation for
life begins. The same punishment is provided for horse-
&c. Vide the recent Act for repealing the penalty
of death for housebreaking, &c.
