The French Societyfor assisting the freed negroes
in the United States has just published two addresges,—
one to the Queen of Spain, thanking her for the pleasures
of which she had taken the initiativa for the abolition of
the slave trade, and praying her to continue that good
work by abolishing slavery itself in the colonies of Cuba
and Porto Rico ; the second, to the Emperor of Brazil,
makes a similar appeal on behalf of the negroes of his do-

minions.

are not mentioned iu any guide-book, and the too of
those mountains are Co` erect with 61191 Y al in tho
