slaves has been prohibited, mach misery has been-eoori-
enced by the stares, trout their being carried by contrahnntrin
small ships immoderately crowded.
But my chief hope of an anielioratiln in' the condition of
the slaves was-front the decisions of the Cowls of taw,, I
Isyliere, that the courts in the. West Indies still persevere in
not pettritting a Negro.to give stridence in any cause, •erther
civil or criminal. I cannot conceive. hi•vr this Maxim has
arisen. It certainly is nut drawn' from the common law
of - England. If the veracity of the . witness 'is dattftted,
from the circumstance of .his being a slave, let the
objection go to .his credit,. -not to his compete: cv.—
As the law now stands, the Negro is considered as be-
low the rank, of a rs,oonable being. NVlten the Negroes
were brought to the island, the Legislature ought to have'
provided, as far as possible, that every Negro should be an-
nexed to some plantation : that he should become gleke
ascriptits, and that lie ttbutild never afterwards be sold to
say other master ekcept with the plantation. As the law
now stands, the judgment creditor may levy his debt by the
s%le of the Negroes on the plantation, and. thus break the
nearest conneetiooS. Privileges might haVe been gratocil to
such Negroes as 'svi re horn-witliin the. island, for they are
not so likely to take put in insurrection as the Negroes
newly intim' By these, and otl.er similar etigolati,,ns,
the Legislat tire'and the Courts of Law "night have ameliorated
the condition bf the Negrir, httd .gradually elevated hint to
the character of a snliject. But this plan was not approved
of. The :Crack was to be iinmediatcly abolished : its abo-
lition was•votcd Ity Parlianient ; but it has not been cf-
. fected. I ilottbf whether `that abolitiyh ever will he ef-
fected by the means iturs.utd.

It is ivell known that Government has been
chiefly .occupied for some time past in delib4rat-
ing upon arrange rents for the future •provision
of THE QUEEN, and though, clotibtless, the ut-,
most caution has been observed on the subject, yet
human weakness, vanity, and pride, must always
be expected to operate, and to render absolute
privacy dillicult„ if not impossible;on such occa
sions. AccordinglY,-it is more than.W.ltispered that
it has been determined to otter HER, MAJESTY
eighteen .thousand pounds a year, and as she had
demanded a. Palace, to tender to her that of
which is near to her own country, and to her im-
melliatenelations: This Palace' was inhabited by
the late QUEEN of Denmark, and was put -in a
condition tit for. the reception of that unfortunate
Princess by order of his late,lll.A.Jciry. If her
MAJESTY should recant. front her avowed decla-
ration of an intention to remain in this Country,
imvdiateY

-reSTMribroad where she pleases, as the Palace of
Zell is to be offered to, her, in conformity to
-her own requisition, and that it may be considered
by her only as a regular *Jule Establishment. We
do not pretend to pledge ourselves for the truth
of the above .statement, and only present -it to
our Readers as a rumour, Nvhieb, however, has
been mentioned in a very respectable quarter..

We received this Morning the Paris Papers
of Sunday and Monday last. The illwiiteur of
Monday contains a iboyal Ordonnanee, elevating
the city of Carnbray to the rank of one• of the
good Cities of.the Kingdom—The following are
