th 4 English and French Governments respecting the ex-
norts of negroes iron the West Coast cf Africa to the
French Colonies in the West Indies ; and whether he
was aware in what manner the negroes were to be ob-
tained.
E. BUXTON called the attention of the G iverr-
ment to the emigration cf negroes to the Isle of Bourbon.
Lard PALMERSTON said that the Government
were aware of the French Government being engaged
in transporting negroes 'from the West Coast of Mafia
to the French c conies. and confidentisl, communication
had been made to the French Government relative to the
matter. The French Government hal assured her Ma
jeety's Governinent that it was their anxious desire that
the arrangements they bad made for procuring neer°
labour should not lead t 3 the revival of the slave
trade—indeed that every precaution had been taken to
prevent it. It would be the duty of her Majesty's Govern-
ment to obtain all theinformation they could. and if neces-
sary, call the attention of the French Government to any
breach cf the regulations laid down by them in reference
to the emigration of free negroes. The free negroes of
Aft ica w ere averse to emigrating, and hethoughttheFrench
Government would have some difficulty in obtaining
really free emigrants. He mild not believe that the
French Government, having aboligh'ed the slave-trade,
would do anything that would lead to its revival. Ir re-
ply to Sir N. F. Buxton, the noble lord said thatber Ma-
jesty's Government had received information, though not
authentic of the emigration of negroes from the east
coast of Africa to the Isle of Bourbon, bnt be was not
in a poritien to state the extent to which it had gone
or in what manner the negroes had been obtained.
