This line of railwiy will secure important advantages to the local
and commercial interests of North Wales : it will bring into close
connexion the city and port of Bangor, and the town and port
of Carnarvon.
The line will thence proceed through the great mineral and slate dis-
tricts of Carnarvonshire, in the vicinity of Snowdon. Llanberis, Nevin,
Pwllheli, to Porth Dvnllaen, in tke same county, situated in its
chief agricultural district. The whole length of the line is twenty-
eight miles.
Porth Dynllaen is well known as a safe and commodious harbour,
possessing great natural advantages, ano situated near the extremity
of one of the headlands bounding Carnarvon Bay, Holyhead forming
the other.

The harbour possesses great advantages, as a harbour of refuge,

over every other port on the coast of North Wales, as is proved by
the Custom-house book:. of the port, which show that no fewer than
3.3.5 vessels put in there for shelter during the years 1840, 1841,
1842 and 1,143.

The commanding maritime importance of the situation will be evl

dent, when it is considered that North Wales supplies nearly the
whole world with elate, and that this can be readily shipped
at Borth Dynllaen from all the principal quarries, including the
celebrated quarries of Penrhyn and Dinorwig, under circumstances
which will reduce the freights to all parts of the South of Ireland,
South Wales, and the South of England, including London and
Bristol, to one-half of their present amount. This is a fact unde-
niable, as not only will a reduction of almost sixty miles be effected
in the length of the voyage, but the dangerous bar of Carnarvon,
and the hazardous navigation of the Swillies within the Straits will
be avoided, and a variety of extra River dues saved.
The copper, lead, and other mines, and the valuable stone
quarries at the Rivals, recently opened by a Liverpool Company, con-
tiguous to the proposed line of Railway, will also have thrown open
for their produce this advantageous means of transit lo the southern
markets, as well as an immediate railway conveyance to those ports
in direct communication with Liverpool, and consequently with
large foreign markets, as well as those of Scotland, and the northern
and midland counties of England.

The population of Bangor and Carnarvon comprised in the electoral
districts, togethe,• with that residing on either side and extremity in
the locality of the proposed line of Railway, amount to upwards of
40,000 persons.
• " •"

The well-known scenery and antiquities of North Wales have long
been objects of progressively increasing interest to a very large num-
ber of tourists and visitors during the summer and autumn months ;
at which periods of the year five steam vessels per week run between
Liverpool and Bangor ; and it is on record, that in one year Bangor
was visited by 50.000 persons.
Upon this part of the subject it Is important to notice that the
southern terminus of the line will be directly opposite to the port of
Wicklow, whereby travellers will reach in the most direct manner
the celebrated scenery of the county of Wicklow, while on this side'
this Railway will facilitate immedi ire access to the romantic districts
of Bethgellert, Tremadoc, Llanberis, and Snowdon.
There are now five public means of conveyance passing, daily be-
tween,Bangor,Carnarvon, Llanberis,Nevin,and Pwllheli,and vice versa,
carrying on an average six passengers each way, which will produce
in a year 17,280 persons. - There are , kept for the purpose of hire, at.
Bangor, the 3fenal Bridge, Carnarvon, and other places adjacent
to the line, 100 vehicles forpiblic accommodation, which may be
fairly computed to convey three passengers per day for seven months
of the year, going from and returning to places which the line will
command, thus amounting to 100,800 persons.
Of the population adjoining the line of Railway before stated,
amounting to 40,000, it may be fairly estimated that those travel
daily on foot, and in their own means of conveyance, exclusive of
any additional allowance for market and fair days, will supply a daily
source of traffic equal to 60 persons ; and calculating that they will
return, they will amount in the year to 34,560 persons.
There are two turnpike-gates between Bangor and Carnarvon, the
tolls of which for single horse vehicles are is., being at the rate of

lid. per mile. These gates were let last year, exclusive of the cost of
collection, for 521/. per annum.
There are held in different parts of Carnarvonshire, adjacent to this
Line, more than forty fairs in the course of the year. The cattle,
sheep, and pigs, collected at these fairs are now driven to different
parts of England, and form the great export of North Wales ; and it
is but reasonable to suppose that when a hallway communication
shall be established, thlt mode of conveyance will be preferred.
It was said by Sir Robert Peel, on his introduction of the tariff, that
the importation of cattle from Ireland increased, in twenty years,
from 17,000 head into all the English ports, to 100,00 u head, into
Liverpool alone. file extensive chain of Railways now forming in
Ireland, and the completion of the proposed lines of Railway between
Kingstown and Wicklow, and Waterford and Wicklow, will cause the
Irish cattle traffic, which at present enters England by Liverpool and
Bristol, to be concentrated on Porth Dynllacn, the sea voyage be-
tween Wicklow and Porth Dynllaen being shorter, by five geographical
miles, than by any other ports in the English and Irish Channels;
and shorter, by one-half, than between those ports which now enjoy
the Irish cattle trade.
The course of this Line by the engineer's report and sections, is
exceedingly favourable, both as respects gradients and the inexpensive
character of the works. The cost of the Railway, and of the pro-
posed improvement of the Harbour, does not exceed 300,000/.
The Plans, Sections, and Books of reference have been duly de-
posited in the proper departments, and application will be made for an
Act in the present session of Parliament.
Arrangements have been made with responsible contractors to
complete the Railway within the engineer's estimates, both as to
. .

between London and York, being 18534 miles only, and saving over
the existing Hallways 3314 miles. Consisting of one continuous Line,
it will work its trains with more celerity and fewer impediments, and
from this circumstance, added to the reduction of distance, will save
two hours in time and a considerable per tentage upon the present
cost of travelling—branches being formed from Bawtry to Sheffield,
and from Doncaster to Wakefield and Normanton for Leeds, and the
Main Line touching the Hull Railway at Selby, the whole of York-
shire, with its population of a million and a half, and its extensive
manufactories will be brought nearer to London, and in., more im-
mediate and cheaper communication with the agricultnral counties of
Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, &c. &c., to the extent above
stated.
To effect this saving of distance between the termini of the pro-
posed Railway, the local convenience of the intermediate districts has
not been at all sacrificed. Every town of importance is either
touched by the Main Line or by a Branch.
From Peterborough to Lincoln, the Railroad will pass through the
most populous and productive part of Lincolnshire, without interfering
with private property, or the public drainage of the country; and
with the assent and good tvishes of the Corporations of Lincoln and
Boston, and of the Canal Companies and Drainage Commissioners.
The supply of coal from the Yorkshire coal field will by this
Railway reach the whole country eastward between the projected
Line and the Sea. The population to which coal will be thus cheap-
ened will not be short of 1,00(1,000, and the average reduction of
price will not be so little as ss, per ton. It has been found that the
consumption of coal is equal to one ton
per head of any given
amount of population. The public benefit in this particular will,
therefore, not be less than 250,em. per annum.
The London and York Line will be an integral and Independent
Line throughout. It will have its London Terminus at King's-crosa
(unquestionably the most central situation for the combined objects
of Passengers, Goods, and Cattle), and its. York Terminus within
the City Walls, a few hundred yards from the present Railway
Station. It will, however, ctimmtmleate with the Great North of
England, at York—the North'Midland, near Normanton—the Leeds
andllanchester, at Wakefield—and the Sheffield and Manchester,
at Sheffield—thereby completing the chain of Railway communica-
tion between Liverpool and Boston.
With reference to the schemes projected.as rival Lines to the Lon-

don and York, the accompanying Table of Distances will explain
their relative length, and show' that the Lonitonitad,Torkis_L)y far
the shortest (except in the comparison of miTeagd-Witn DlOet
Northern, upon the Trunk Line, between London and York). For
the entire trade of the district, the London and York is still shorter
than the Direct Northern. It runs directly from the agricultural
districts to the manufacturing markets and coal field ; whilst the
Direct Northern has no such connexion, except by the circuitous
route of the York and North Midland Lines. it also better suits the
bade to the Southern market in London, because it extends thsough
Peterborough directly into the heart of the feeding and corn-producing
district, whilst the Direct Northern passes away to. the West. As
far, therefore:as the trade and supply of coal to the district is con-
cerned, the London and York has the entire superiority. •
.• Even as a Main Trunk between London and York, though it is (as
has been carefully ascertained) seven miles
(but not more than seven
Miles) longer than the Direct Northern, yet it would work its trains
fl'om London to York more expeditiously than its rival; from the cir-
cumstance of its having no drawbridge to pass, ;whilst the Direct
Northern has two such bridges ;—and also from its running through
almost all the towns of the district, needing only two. branches—
whilst the Direct Northern, passing at a distance from nearly every
town, would require eight branches, varying from one to ten mles in
length. The time lost by passing two open bridges (to say nothinz of
the danger) would be more than that necessary to run four miles ;
and ever, branch involving at the junction, either a change of car-
riages and luggage, or the taking on of fresh carriages, causes a delay
seldom so little a- five minutes: (practically felt at the Normanton
and Masbro' Midland Stations, at the Rugby, and every other Sta-
tion where lines meet). The time consumed in passing a first-class
station where no branch joins, is not half that interval ; and the loss
of two-and-a-half minutes upon each of the cix additional branches
of the Direct Northern, would be sufficient for marling the whole
seven nines. But if tour miles be deducted for the drawbridges, the
loss of one minute at each of the six junctions would more than com-
pensate for the difference of mileage.
As a Trunk Railway, therefore, without regard to the trade of the
district, the London and York would be the safer and more expedi-
tious of the two.
It is needless, in the present state of public feeling against the an-
noyance and delays caused by short branches, to acid, that every town
within the district is strongly opposed to any Line which does not pass
immediately through it.
With reference to the other rival lines—one by Cambridge direct to
Lincoln and thence direct to York—the other from Cambridge by Ely
and the coast by Boston, Lincoln, Doncaster, and South Milford to
York—the subjoined Table of Distances shows the first to be 14 miles
and the second 3.5 miles longer than the London and York, whilst
neither of them afford anything like equal accommodation to the trade
of the districts; and both of them leave out of their consideration the
towns and district of Huntingdon, Stamford, Grantham, Newark, and
Retford, and abandon the county of Bedford.
These Lines, however, are so well known to be purely obstructive
Lines, devised by a combination of existing Railway interests, to pre-
vent the making of any new Line between London and York, which
would be more convenient to the Public than the Western Lines
through Derby, and the schemes are so devoid of public sympathy or
support, that it may be unnecessary further to remark upon them.
The Distances marked are all by Rail, excepting -where road,"
is mentioned, and in such cases the total distance includes the road.

an eligible field for investment, the clear profits being found equal to
upwards of twelve per cent. on the capital to be employed.

" The London and York Railway will pass through the Towns of
llattield, Btggleswade, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Grantham,
Newark, Rettord, Bawtry, Doncaster, and Selby. An East Lincoln-
shire Line will leave the North and South Trunk near Peterborough,
and will pass through Spalding, Boston, Lincoln, Gainsborough, and
Bawtry to Sheffield—having a branch to Rotherham. There will be
a branch seven miles long from the Main Line to Bedford ; another
to Stamford; from Doncaster a branch will be taken to Wakefield.
The distance from London to York will be reduced 331 miles ; to
Selby and Hull, 40 ; to Leeds, 20 ; to Wakefield, Halifax, Bradford,
and Huddersfield, 26 ; to Sheffield, 12 ; to Doncaster, 30 miles; Ro-
therham, 10; Barnsley, 9, as compared with existing Railways."

" The London and York will be seven miles longeil- than the Direct
Northern, hut the whole distance will be accomplished in the same,
and perhaps even in less, time ; tbr tke trains of the Direct Northern
must be considerably delayed at the branches proposed for the several
Towns which it leaves, from one to ten miles east and west of its
course ; it must also cross two opening bridges , which (Indepondeatly
of the danger), cannot fail to cause loss of time."
" The London and York will be 14 miles shorter than the Cam-
bridge, Peterborough and Lincoln Direct Line to York ; the latter is
to cross four opening bridges : is to leave Huntingdon, Sleaford, Spal-
ding, Boston, Stamford, Grantham, Newark, Retford and Doncaster,
several miles to the east or west.

"The London and York will be shorter than the Cambridge, Ely
and Boston Line (proposed by the Midland Railway Company, which
leaves Peterborough and all the Towns upon the Groat North Road,
except Bawtry and Doncaster, from 20 to 30 miles on the west of its
course), by 35 miles to York ; 45 to Selby and Hull; 41 to Wakefield;
40. to Sheffield ; and 33 to Doncaster."

" The London and York will cross the projected Wakefield and
Goole Railway near Snaith."

The Railw;y is intended to provide for a portion e Middlesex,
Hertfordshire, and Bedfordshire, and for the whole of Huntingdon-
shire, North Northamptonshire, Rutland, Lincolnshire, and North
Nottinghamshire, which at present have no such accommodation, a
direct railway communication with London southward, and with
Yorkshire and Lancashire northward. This will be effected by a
main line passing through the centre of all these districts, excepting
Lincolnshire, and for that county the East Lincolnshire Line, above
described, is provided. The total length of new railway is 327 miles.
The area of country embraced by this scheme is 2,880,000 acres, and
contains a population of 600,000 and upwards.
The entire disposable produce annually raised within these districts
is sent southward to Lcr.don, and northward to the north-western
manufacturing districts by most circuitous routes, by canals or coast-
wise. Its annual value is above 6,000,0001., and in its transmission
to its markets it loses upon the average ten per cent. in cost of car-
riage and delays. The projected Railway would reduce this loss by
one half, and confer a benefit upon the district equal to 300,0001. per
annum. It will also facilitate the transit of all articles and goods re •
eeived in return, which, estimated at one half the tint amount, will
increase the annual benefit to 450,0001.

On that occasion, in common with, I believe, all the other pas-

There were, I think, three passengers in the carriage besides Mr.

sceptical of the safety and great value of this extraordinary com-

W. Matthews, a highly-respectable farmer, of the parish of Brent,
Devon :—" Brent, March lst, 1842. Dear Sir.-:-I consider it a duty
incumbent on me to state to the public the invaluable properties of
your Scorbutic Drops. You remember, when I first applied to you,
that .I was almost out of hopes of receiving any benefit for my poor
suffering child, for I believe I informed you that I had been trying
but every thing in order to give my child ease, but day by day she
continued to get worse, until at last all strength left her, and she was
no longer able to walk ; her body and head were covered all over
with scorbutic eruptions, her appetite had vanished, the erup-
tions would itch in such a dreadful manner that she Would roll
herself in agonies on the ground, and sha could get no sleep what-
ever by night. Immediately you saw her, you told me you were
certain your Scorbutic Drops would cure her. Before she had taken
one bottle of them all the itching ceased, her appetite returned, sad
she enjoyed sound and refreshing sleep. By the time she had taken
the second bottle her skin was as fair as any person's, the use of her
limbs was restored to her, and, I thank Clod, her health is now as
good or better than it ever was: • ' - -

PARRICIDE AT GRENOSIDE.
A most frightful instance of the fatal effects of passion
and family dissension occurred on Tuesday, in the village
of Grenoside, near this town. It appears that Thomas
Marples, and his son, of the same name, lived and Worked
together, and were garden tool-makers. They lived, it is
stated, without any female in the family, in a miserably
dirty house, where the cooking and other domestic ope-
rations were attended to by the old man. About ten days
ago, the old man made a shovel tor a women named Nay-
lor. 'the price of it was 4d, ; and on Tuesday last he
went to receive the money. The woman then paid him
only 2d., alleging that his son owed her 2d. The
father grumbled at having to pay his son's debt, and
went to the shop where his son was working, and re-
proached him with it. What passed there is net stated;
and, so far as we can learn, no other parties
%ere present. The son, however, took from the fire a
piece .of red-hot iron, of which he was forming a rake,
and thrust it at the old man's abdomen, which it en
tered to a cen-iderable depth. The wounded man went
•to the house, which was adjoining, and went to bed.
Medical aid was obtained ; and in,brmation of the fact
being conveyed to the .polibe, -Wilson Overead, Esq.
went to Ecclesfield that evening, to take the man's de-
position. His injury, at that time, however, did not
appear so certainly to be fatal, as to induce Mr. Overend.
to take the deposition. The next morning, he was re
moved to the infirtoary, where he grew rapidly worse; and
when Mr. Ov, rend attended on Wednesday, and his depo-
sition as a ding man was taken, he stated that he and
his son had been on bad terms, and that when his son
had thrust the iron into him, he again put it into the
fire. The same niAht The bowels protruded
to some extent from the wound ; and on a pout 'ix/tam
examination. yesterday, it was found that, in at least one
place, the bowels were burned through by the hot iron
The coroner, being from home when information of the
death of Marples was sent to him, did sot receive thc
notice till Thursday night. He has fixed the inquest for
this day. The son is in the custody of the police, and,
we understand, expresses great contrition for the crime
into which his passion hurried him.— Sheffield Iris.

DEPARTURE OF. MR. CARUS
WILSON FROM JERSEY.
, As- early.as seven o'clock on Friday morning crowds
of persons were to be seen in the vicinity of Gloucester-
street, along the Esplanade and on the Pier. At eight
o'clock the concourse was immense, and a few minutes
after that hour a carriage was seen to leave the gaol
yard, but it only contained Mr. Wilsen's and the gaoler's
luggage, as Mr. Wilson positively refused to ride. Im-
mediately he was seen the crowd gave an immense cheer,
and several English gentlemen, after shaking hands with
him, joined in procession, and upon all sides around
him; the crowd also followed is the rear. All along
Gloucester-street and the Esplanade, more persons
joined in, cheering at every step. It was laughable
to see the chop fallen countenances of the police
as they stood upon the Esplanade, and the hearty
cheers given by the multitude when they were recog-
nised by them.—" Hurrah for the Habeas Corpus,"
" Hurrah for Wilson, the people's champion," resounded
on every side. Upon the Pier, the crowd was so great,
that it was with much difficulty a passage could be
effected; every place was filled; even the walls, the
rigging of the shipping—all had occupants. The heer-
ing was almost continual the whole of the time of Mr..
Wilson's walking down the North Pier. 01 arriving near.
the steps, at the Pier head, a large party of gentlemen
hook hands with him,congratulating him up-en his forcing li
open the prison doors in defiance of the Jersey authorities,
and by lawful means—many hearty wishes for his suc-
cess were given him. The cheering was still continued;
Mr. Wilson now turned round, and facing the people
said, " Brethren !—(Cheers.) Brethren !!—(Cheers.)
Brethren I ! !—(Still cheers.) Silence being restored,
he said, " God save the Queen!"—(Tremendous cheers.)
Silence again procured, " This is the -triumph of the
Majesty of the Law over a tyrannical faction."—(Long
continued cheers.) After bidding adieu to his friends,
Mr. Wilson stepped into the boat in company with the
gaoler, and renewed cheers echoed again and again. His
stepping on board was the signal for further demonstra-
tion, and even in fact, all the time the Monarch was, in
the harbour, after she hall left stud was in the roads,
cheering dame from the pier, asd was respond, d
to by those on board. We have seen' Bishops,
Lieutenant-Governors, and whole regiinents arrive
and depart, but never do we remember
seeing such an assemblage of persons as was
congregated on the pier, upon Mr. Wilson's departure!
When the States' deputies, Messrs. Dupre and Godfrey,
pushed off to the steamer, they were bid adieu by hisses
and groans, but not one bias, nor even one groan, did
Mr. Wilson receive in the whole of his road from the
gaol to the pier.' A. number of the henorury police were
present as spectators. -Cent..nirr Chevait.r made his'
retreat from th— pier long before Mr. Wilson artived;
and even little Manuel, the frlieetmn, tuft his friends.
he was afraid to remain! We ere sorry that Mr. Le

interesting occasion, feeling convinced that if h. had,
he would have been astoury ed at the s'ght. however

FRACAS AT THE PARIS BOURSE.—The Revue de
Paris contains. the following :—" The abuses which wt.
have from time to time poi-toed-out in the sale of pro•
raises of railroad shares, produced a few days back,
at the Bourse, a scene highly distwreeable to those
who were affected by it. One a the companies
formed to send in tenders for a . railway voted
by the Chambers had long since declared that its
lists of subscribers were dosed ; and, in consequ.-nce,
the persons who. had delayed• 111-3-long to make appli-
cations liar shares paid a print-lam .to procure some.
However; the agents who live -by the negotiations that
are transacted in the coulisse, beheld with dismay. that,
day after day. fresh coupons of these promises, which
could no longer be procured at the regular office, were
poured into the market. Suspicions were excited, and a
sharp look-out was kept, which ended in the head
clerk of :the company's banker being caught
in the very fact of selling time promises with
a premium. The unfortunate fellow was at once at-
tacked, seized by the collar, abused, and threatened.
In an instant the Bourse looked like a field of
battle, so great was the rush on the delinquent.
The banker himself happened to enter at the mo-
ment, and, being recognised, he was surrounded,
and would have been assailed, and probably, ejected
from the hall. as the principal delinquent, if the
messengers and garde municipal on duty had not inter-
fered and rescued him from the grasp of his assailants
This scene produced a painful eff•ct on the minds of

Foreign-office' Jan. 9, 1845.
My Lord,—The French Ambassador has delivered to
me a dispatch from his Government, in which M. Guizot
describes in strong terms the feeling which has prevailed
for some time past in the French Chambers, and
generally in France, relative to the right of search.
After detailing at length the reasons which have induced
him to arrive at such a conclusion, he suggests to her
Majesty's Government the expediency cf appointing a
joint Commission, for the purpose of inquiring whether,
means may not he discovered for the suppression of the
slave-trade as effectual, or even more effectual than those
afforded by the treaties which confer the mutual right
of search.
.. .
A coly of this dispatch is enclosed for your Ex-
cellency's information. Jc`
M. Guizot correctly states, that when, at the close :of
the year 1843, the Count de St. AA/lite announced to
me the intentions of the French Government to propose'
certain measures which they felt satisfied "Would be
found preferable to the exercise of the right of search,
and better calculated to attAn the objects in view, I at
that. time-informed the French Ambassador that my con-
viction of the sincerity and zeal of M. G uizot for the
aboliti,,n of the slave-trade would induce me to receive
any suggestions from him on the subject, and to submit
them for the consideration of her Majesty's Government.
Your Excellency may assure M. Guizot, that her Ma-
jesty's-Government attach no special value to the right
of search, except in se far as it affords an effectual means
of supprPssing the slave-trade.

They are indeed aware that the exercise of this right
cannot fail to he attended with some inconvenience, and
they would willintly see the adoption of any measures
which would be as effectual ter the accomplishment of
the great end in view, and which should not be liable to
the same objecti,ng. lam bound, however, in candour
to declare, that I have not hitherto seen any plan pro-
posed which could safely be adopted as a substitute for
the right of search. And when M. Guizot recollects

how earnestly the people of this country have &sired
the abolition of the slave-trade, and the enormous sacri-
fices they have made, and are daily making, to secure
the attainment of this object, he will not be surprised if
we hesitate to abrogate treaties, the stipulations of which
have been found efficient, until we are satisfied that the
measures about to be proposed will be attended with
el nal success.

ab.tain from inquiring into the causes which have
led to the great change of sentiment in France respect-
ing these treaties, which up to a recent period the French
Government had united with that of her Majesty in
pressing on the adoption of other natieas.
Be these causes what they may, I fully admit that such
engsgetnentv, if not executed with cordiality and zeal by
both the contracting parties, must become fees likely to
answer the purpose intended, and their value be greatly
impaired. It is unnecessary, therefore, to dwell on the
means taken by her Majesty's Government to remove all
reasonable grounds of objection to the exercise of the
right of search, and on the care with which the instruc-
tions recently delivered to the officers engaged in this
service have been prepared. The mere fact officially de-
clared by M. Guizot, thar the Government. the Legisla-
ture, and the people of France earnestly demand a re-
vision of these engagements, while they profess at the
same time an undiminished desire to art ein the objects
for which they were contracted, would of erd to her
Majesty's Government a sufficient reason fur agreeing to
the proposed inquiry.
But in assenting to this suggestion of M. Guiz,et, yeur
Excellency cannot too strongly impress upon his mind
how much will depend on the character of the persons
who may be set. cted as Commissioners, in order to in-
spire the, necessary degree ef coefich nee, and to insure
any useful reFitit. It appears to her Majesty's Govern-
ment to be indispensable that the Cemmit.sion should be
composed of individuals of high station and enlightened
views—:men -perfectly independent, and well known for
the it attachment to the gre at cause of freedom and hu-
manity. • ,
_ _

It must clearly be made known that the object of the
Cummissioli ia re,t, to get rid of the treaties, but to ascer-
tain the possibility of adopting measures by which they
may advantageously be replaced.
It appears essential also,-that whatever substitute may
be prors,sed, if any be found, should be considered in the
first instance only as an experiment, but by which the
operation of the treaties in this respect would necessa-
rily be su‘pended, until its success or failure had been
made manifest.

To a Commission thus c‘mstituted and thus in-
structed, her Majesty's Government could not only en-
tertain no objection, but would be disposed, in common
with all who Anctrely desire the earls. and complete
abolition of this det-,.table traffic, to look with hope and
satisfaction.—l am, &c. ABERDEEN.

M. GUIZOT TO THE COUNT BT. AULAIRE.
Paris, Dec. 26, 1844.
M. le Comte,—Last year, about this time, I re quested
you to call the attention of Lord Aberdeen to the im-
portant question of the right of search, and to tbe power-
ful motives which led us to desire that the two Cabinets
should concert together with the view of substituting,
for this mode of repressing the slave-trade, a new mode,
which, whilst equally efficacious for our common object,
should be free from the same inconveniences and the
same dangers.
To this communication which you made to Lord Aber-
deen, his Lordship answered, that being perfectly con-
vinced of my sincere resolution to labour perseveringly
for the• suppression of the trade, any proposition made
by me would be received by him with confidence, and
examined with the most scrupulous attention.
If since that time I have a bst,ined, M. le Comte, front
treating of this important affair in my official corre-
spondence with you —if I have d:layed sending the in-
structions which I had announced to you—it certainly
has not been that the Government of the King hare lost
sight for a single day of the object which they had to
propose to themselves, or that their convictions had be-
come less strong. You know the various causes, inter-
nalratid external, which, by obliging us to devote all our
effints to urgent questiens, have made it imperative on
us to suspend the negotiation, the opening of which in
London you had been charged to call for, on the ques-
tion of the means of repressing the slave-trade. The
time is now arrived for resuming it.
As I have already mentioned to you, M. le Comte,
our conviction of the necessity of having recourse. in
concert with England, to a new mode of repressing the
slave-trade, is undiminished and profound. All the
events which have occurred, all the reflections which
have forced themselves upon us, since this question was
raised, have made us feel mere strongly the necessity of
modifying the system actually in fur 'e. In order that
this system should be effectual and without danger, it is
not sufficient that the two 'Gevetnuients are animated by
reciprocal. goodwill and confidence.. Constantly liable
in its application to oppose, cramp, and injure private in-
terests, often legitimate and inoffensive ones, this system
keeps up, in the minds of a numerous class, active, and
necessarily rough in manners, a source of irritations hicle
thou,h it may sleep ter a;tirne more or.less. long, may by
an unforeseen accident at sea, or by the slightest disturb-
ance in the political .relations of the two. Steses be at any
moment developed, inflame d, txte d and transformed
into a 00%tiPlfd and'lormid,tble national :4o,tinient. This
te,ing so, -the system-of the eight of • stare h used as a
tnt'tns for repressing the •liive-trade is more dtay.ierous
than use;ul ; for it compromises, at e'ne and the same
time, peace. good understanding between the two coun-
tries, and even the success of the great cause which it is
intended to serve.
This, M. le Comte, is apt a mere conjecture, it is a
"act which experient e has now demonstrated. During
ten years the reciprocal right of search has been tic-
c..pted and exercise d by Franca and by England with
common censem, and wi•hout any declared feeling or
'any manifeqati,in of mistrust or of repulsion. Owing
tee causes which it is useless to revert .te, the case is now
different. The feeling of the Chambers and of the
country is strongly averse to this system. Not, M.
le Comte, that France is at present more indifferent
than she was some years ago to the horrorr of the slave-
trade ; but a conviction exists in France (and the Go-
vernment of the King shares this conviction) that it is
possible tee find other means quite as effectual, more
effectual even thsn the reciprocal right of search, by
which this infamous traffic may be reached.
In order to obtain the co-operation of the country anal
of the Chamhers—their earnest, active, indefatigable
co-operation—for the repression of the trade, the adop-
tion of a difLrent system is henceforth indispensable.
But what ought to be the new system ? By what
measure, by what combination of measures, can we
reasonably hope to obtain results in the way of repres-
sion at least equal zo those which the right of search
has led us to hope for ? I might, M le Comte, here
point out some of these measures; but in a matter in
which the men of the two countries specially qualified
must of necessity be heard, it appears to rue preferable
that the task of collecting and examining all the elements
f the question should, in the first instance, be confided
to a mixed Commission, This Commission, which held
its sittings in London, ought, I think, to be composed
of men of consideration in their respective countries,
well known for their sincere sympathy fur the cause of
repressing the slave trade, and by their entire freedom
of Judgment relative to the means of attaining this noble
end. And when the Commission shall have thoroughly
examined the question, when it shall have searched well
and determined what new means of repressing the
trade ay be as effieacious.as, or even mote efficaciousm
than, the system-at presentin force, its work should be
presented to the two Grovernnients, and submitted tier their decisien.
Have the. goodness, M. le Cemle, to place this propo-
sal befote the eyes of Lord. Aberdeen. I am confident
that in theCortimunication which you will make to him
elf ihe.pre:-ent dispatch, he will see-new evidence of our
constant solicitude for the, two great interests whieh,we
have equally at heart—the maintenance of peace and of
a good understanding between the two countries, and the
repression pf the slave-trade.—ltecetvei
