hope soon for better things. When actual and bitte
experience has opened our eyes, then will be ou
time to address you with a hope of success. When
you come to know the true power of capital and labour
combined in friendly effort, how dependent the one is upon
the other, and how ruinous to both is enmity and distrust,
then I shall hope to see the day when slavery shall be
abolished in fact, both for black and white, and
when, animated by a common spirit of industry,
harmony, and love of country and of human pro-
gress, all shall labour to make our State blossom as
the rose, and turn her waste
,places into seats of
refinement and delight. My word for it, my friends, there
is not a good man among your former masters but prays
for the hour to come when ha may without disfranchising
himself work for you. As you are to be citizens, we want
you to be intelligent citizens ; as you are to be our neigh-
bours, we want you to be kind and loving neighbours. In
every aspect of the case, it is our true interest to help you to.
fit yourselves for the now life to which you are called. if
you will permit us, we will do it."

By the Prussian Embassy at Paris, the Prussian
Consuls in France have, in virtue of a decree of the 21st of
Juno, been informed that all Prussians travelling from French
porte to Transatlantic countries are henceforth to enjoy

the same privileges which were hitherto limited to French
emigrants. Thus every Prussian traveller will in future
be entitled to demand from the emigration officers at
Strasbourg, Paris, Javre, Laubach, St. Louis, Wissen-
bourg, Bordeaux, Bayonne, and Marseilles, any informa-
tion respecting his journey, and to lodge complaints on
any wrongs and injuries he may have suffered in his
voyage.

On Thursday the freedom of the City of Edin-
burgh was presented to Mr. Lloyd Garrison in recognition
of his long and meritorious exertions to abolish slavery in
North America. Mr. Garrison, in accepting the honour,
said that in the universal gladness that is felt at the aboli-
tion of that great curse which gave birth to the rebellion,
and to all the misconceptions and misdeeds attending it—
and in the success attending the effort to maintain the
American Union inviolate on the basis of impartial liberty

—there is happily manifested on both sides of the Atlantic
a growing desire to adjust all differences between the two
countries in an amieable and magnanimous spirit.
Mr. Amasa Sprague has laid out beautiful and
convenient grounds at Narragansett Park, Rhode Island,
which will be inaugurated on the last day of July and the
Ist and 2d of August, by a great trotting meeting, during
which the association will give two races on each day, and
distribute $lO,OOO in the six purses.

MAXIMILIAN'S DECREE OF 007. 3, ISGS.

The following is Maximilian's address on publish-
ing his famous decree :
Moxicans,—The cause which Don Benito Juarez de-
fended with so much valour and constancy has already
succumbed under the force, not only of the national will
but also of the other law which that officer invoked in sup-
port of his pretensions. To-day even the faction to which

he said cause has degenerated is abandoned by the depar-
ure of its chief from his native soil.

" The National Government for a long time was lenient,
and exercised great clemency, so as to give those misled
and misinformed men an opportunity to rally to the majo-
rity of the nation, and to place themselves anew in the
path of duty. It has fulfilled its object; the honourable
men have assembled under its banner, and have accepted

the just and liberal principles which regulate its politico•
The disorder is only maintained by some loaders carried
away by unpatriotic passions, assisted by deinoralisod per-
sons, too ignorant to comprehend political principles, and
by an unprincipled soldiery, the last and sad remnants of
the civil war. Hereafter contests will only be between the
honourable men of the nation and the gangs of criminals
and robbers. Clemency will cease now, for it would only
profit the mob who burn villages, rob and murder peaceful
citizens, poor old men, and defenceless women.
" The Government, resting on its power, from this day
will be inflexible in its punishments, since the laws of
civilisation, the rights of humanity, and the exigences of
morality demand it. "M.AimitLIAN.
