VORLIGN INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Etats of Monday.)
The Cour de Caseation (criminal side) was occupied yesterday
ih a question relating to the traffic in negroes, of Which the follow-
ing are the facts :
Ou the 6th of May last, one Dennis, a ship-owner, purchased
a schooner named the ..Vii.9epe. The cluitge df this vessel was
gl. en to a Capt. Dessay, and her crew consisted of twelve men.
Merchandize of various descriptions was put on board, and cleared
at the Custom-house of Nantes. They were about to sail for Ma-
rtinique, when a mutiny broke out among the men, and four of
them were given up to the civil pone& Wheir.exandited„,thl
cohiplitified that the Captain intended to to •e them to the Aiilcazi
Coast to trade in slaves, and this complaint exciting suspicion, a
search of the -Eugene was the consequence. Some circumstances
which appeared on the visit to the vessel seemed to call for an ac-
curate examination into the affitir, as front her shape, the nature of
her eqhipmeht, and her swift sailing, the it'uyeat was eiridenq
destined for a slaver. An active prosecution was instituted against
the vessel and the Captain. The Tribunal of Nantes, being
alarmed, gave a verdict non lieu, because the traffic complained of
bad not only not been completed, but there was no commencement
of it to prone that evert the attempt Was contemplated. The
Procureur appealed, and the Court of Rennes confirmed
the judgment of the lower Court. This last judgment was yester-
day brought before the Supreme Court, which reversed it, and
sent the whole affair before the Cour-Royale of Paris.
(From the Journal des Debate.)
PAXIS, OCT. 28.—The question of peace or war, between
Russia and-rfurkey, is no nearer solution from the intelligence re-
ceived from Germany yesterday. The following are extracts from
the last letters :--.
ODESSA, OCT. 10. It is certain that the Turkish Commis-
sioners transmitted to Akermann, on the Gth of Oct. the answer
to the Russian propositions, and this answer was immediately
transmitted to the Fatiperor.—[lt is believed to be satisfactory,
because no movement among the troops has taken place. It is
thought, however, that the proclamation respecting it will net take
place except at Moscow or St. Petersburgh. M. de Ribeaupierre
has made no preparation for departing, and it is believed that the
negociations of Akermann will be resumed. M. de Minziaky has
not been able to draw from the Reis-Effendi anything but evasive
answers, accompanied by violent reproaches ; he is preparing to
leave.] .
The Universal Gazette, of Augsburg, says, that Mr. Can-
ning complained of the difficulty he had in negociating with M.
de Villele, as that Minister never explains himself in a categorical
manner.
" The Quarterly Review, whose political articles are generally
by Mr. Croker, the friend of Mr. Canning, and Secretary of the
Admiralty, contains a long discussion on the Parliamentary Papers
relating to the traffic in Negro Slaves, in which the French Mi-
nistry, especially M. de Daman, is vigorously attacked. The
French Ministry are there formally accused of secretly favouring
that infamous traffic while they disavow it in public. The Quar-
terly Review affirms, that the trade in negroes is carried on by,
merchants of Nantes, under the pretext of trafficking in ivory—a
negro is called a block of ivory. These merchants are accused
of the most unheard-of cruelty ' • for instance, of having thrown
into the sea, on the approach of English ships, the negroes which
they had on board above the number stipulated by the regulations.
The hesitating and equivocal answers of M. de Damns are cited
in this article. The reputation of our Ministry, it would appear,
is spreading in Europe !
" The Emperor of Brazil has just abolished branding of crimi-
nals condemned to hard labour. He has given a salutary example
to Governments where this practice is still in operation, and which
we hope to see imitated.. Nothing indeed can be imagined inure
afflicting, than that an individual, who has suffered his appointed
time, should be compelled to carry along with him, on his resto-
ration to society, the marks of his punishment. His Imperial
Majesty has also ordered prisoners and criminals to be classed, ac-
cording to their age, sex, and the nature of their crimes. This is
a new title to the gratitude of the friends of civilization which the
Emperor has acquired."
