We received, at a very late hour this day, the
Paris Papers of Wednesday last. The Chamber
of Deputies were occupied on Tuesday with. the
Budget, the discussion on which, after hearing
three Spealiets, was adjourned till. Wednesday.
Pails appears. to have been tranquil thtough the
whole of Tuesday, with the exception of
~an art-
tempt made early in the morning,. to set fire to
the stables of the Duchess d'ANGOULEME ; one of
the horses was hurt, in consequence of the born-.
ing of the litter, but the fire was promptly extin-
guished, and uo matetial damage was done. The
King received the Ambassadors and Foreign Mi-
nisters on Tuesday.

SLAVE TRADE-IN THE HOUSE OF REPRRSENTA.•

TI'VES, MAY 9.

Mr. MERCER, front a Select' Committee, made
a sltepott on the subject ot the Slave Trade gene-
rally, as brought to the notice ot Congress by the
Memorial of the American Colonization Society,
which. Report was referred to a Committee of the
wbole.—Mr. M. also reported a Bill to incorpo-
rate the American Society for colonizing the Free
People of-Colour ot the United States.

Reso'yew, by the Senate and House of Representatives of
the United States of America, in Congress assembled,-=that
the President be requested to consult and negotiate with all
the Governments where Ministers of the United States are
or shall be accredited, on the means of effecting an entire
and iniwediate abolition of the African Slave rade.

Resolved,—That the President be requested to enter into
a stipulation, or formal declaration, with the several mari-
time Powers, recognizing the independence and permanent
neutrality of any Lolimy of the Free People of Colour of the
United States, which shall be established on the Western
Coast of Africa.

Resolved,—That the President be requested, in suck use
as lie may deem it expedient to make of the public ships of
the United States, to afford every aid, not inconsisttnt with
the public welfare, to the efforts of the American Society for
Colonizing the Free People of Colour of the United States
upon the Western Coast of Africa.

The Funds remained steady to.day—no busi-
ness being doing more 'ban usual.

the public mind at pre-
sent The perplexed state of
must be considered as the consequence of the
ill-boding return of her MAJESTY to this Cottony.
Is it. not shocking that an event, which for many
weighty and, important reasons ought never to
have happened, should agitate a Whole People
and suspend the btisiness of the Nation ! TSB
QUEEN., in her answer to the officious and
ill-timed mission of the Commbn Council yes-
terday, says, " in the now trials to which I am
exposed, my first duty is to vindicate myself ; my
next wish is to see nothing attempted that may
hurt the feelings of others." But who exposed
her MAJESTY to these " new trials" -but herself ?
She declined the most liberal offers fin the part
of Government to induce her to remain, on the
Continent ; she rejected the adiice of her wise
legal Counsellors, and she followed the rash
tates of a man proverbial for almost au insane
thirst for popularity. Is it consistent with her
declaration that it is her first duty•to vindicate
herself, that she should suffer a negociation to take
Flace upon the grounds of the accusations which su
deeply affect her character ? Is it possible that her
conduct can be vindicated while the evidence
against her is concealed from the eyes of mankind ?
Imposiible. The charges, In substance, against
her have been circulated all over Europe ; they
will extend to every part of the World, and be
transmitted to the latest posterity. Nothing but that
open free Trial which she at first demanded, can
purify her tame, and therefore we trust that she
will feel the necessity of resigning herself at once
to the most profound inquiry into the whole of
the accusations brought against her, or submit to
have her character for ever branded with sus-
picion. We are told, that she has applied to Lill

FITZW:LLIAM to be one of her At bitrators, but that
the Noble Lord, with a sense of justice becoming
his character and rack, has declined the office,
alleging that there was nothing that could be the
s►thject of arbitration, but that the documents
which affect her character should be fairly and fully
examined. It is said tt►at she then applied to Lord
SerroN, :he Nobleman who subscribed 1001. to
Alr. Hose, whose Religious Parodies disgusted all
but the lowest Profligates-. His Lordship, to be
sure, would be a fit judge of what relates to Reli-
gion and Decorum. The delay on the part of
Ministers to submit the result of their proceedings
to Parliament, is a striking proof of the difficulty
of the case. The Marquess of LANSDOWN said,
yesterday, in the House of Lords, that never was
such delay before with respect to a Message
from the Throne. Granted. But was there
ever such a case before presented to Par-
liament ? if we were to consult our own
private feelings, we should wish that the
whole matter should be covered with the veil
of secresy ; but respect for the honour of the
Throne, compassion for THE QUEEN herself, whose
character would be lost for ever, under such a
suppression of evidence, and our deep sense of
what is due to the People at large, compel
us to require that tl►e Inquiry shOuld be as open
as possible. The feelings of the Country are
roused on one side or the other. Those who give
her MAJESTY credit for innocence, if they are
not influenced by factious motives, must be
anximis to have their liberal prejudices in her
favour justified by the event of au open
Tile', and the fullest manifestation of that in-
nocence. We have not room to dilate on this sub-
ject, but we shall resume it on Monday, though we
cannot conclude at present without declaring our
must solemn conviction, that nothing but an open
Trial can vindicate the character of her MAJESTY
or satisfy the expectation of the Country, and all
mankind.. -

We yesterday stopped the Press at a late hour
to state,upon full authority, the extent and cause
of the slight disturbance among the Soldiery.—
We can, upon that authority, declare, that no-
thing connected with political considerations
led ,in the least degree to that temporary
disturbance, and that all cause of discon-
tent is entirely at •an end. The men bad
been exposed to extra and troublesome, if not
hard duty. They had been removed from the on.
controuled freedom of billeting to the stricter. dis-
cipline of Barracks. This was the main cause of
grievance. Most of the misguided men are sen-
sible of their error, and have manifested signs
of contrition. They quietly marched from
town, and they preserved the same pacific
feelings on their halt .at Hounslow. We
have no doubt that they proceeded on their

march with the same laudable sense of their mis-
conduct, sucks desire to atone for it by a due re-
gard to [Dili-tarp order. The remainder of the
Regiment, as we stated yesterday, manikited
deep sorrow on the conduct of their misguided
comrades. We do'not repeat 'the contents of our
Second Edition this day, because the facts are suf.
ficiently developed in our extracts (rota the Lon-
don Journals of the day.

PURITY OP ELECTIONS.—The Petition from
Litchfield, which was presented last night by Mr.
LITTLETON, is deserving of the most serious at-
tention, and we trust that be • will bring forward in
the present Sessinns some measure to put an end
to the practice of making on the eve of Elections
occasional.Voters.—Thre are Petitions now in
a course of signature in-several of the Counties,
which are intended to be presented to Parlia-
ment, to correct these Abuses in Elections—of
the necessity of which, and of the want of a more
certain and uniform practice in Election Com•
mittees, many of the decisions in the present See.
*ions present sufficient proofs : indeed the Juris-
diction created by the Grenville Act is tar from
being perfect, and at present does not afford that
protection to the Electors of the Country which it
was contemplated to provide. We wish Mr.WvNtss
and other enlightened men would give their atten-
tion to this subject, and remedy the injuries which
it is admitted frequently arise from the present
system.

night, at his Seat, near Richmond.—This has spread a me-
