LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 3, 1527.

We regret deeply, that we cannot mention any cir-
cumstance respecting the state of his Royal Highness
the Duke of YORK, which can in any degree revive
hope. Up to a late hour this afternoon, he still conti-
nued nearly in the state in which he had been for the last
three days. 'We understand that the Duke of SUSSEX
remained with his ROYAL HIGHNESS till eleven
o'clock last night, and at an early hour this morning
Sir H. lIALFoRD sent an express to the KING, to
inform his MAJESTY, that his beloved Brother had
passed a quiet night and still survived. Upon our
enquiring at Rutland House this day at half-past two,
we were informed that his Royal Highness was no
better than he was yesterday. He has been perfectly
sensible all along.

The Etoik of Monday morning, which reached us yes-
terday, contains au exposition by the Miaister of Marine
of the principles upon which the new law proposed to the
French Legislature for the Suppression of the Slave Trade,
is founded. The existing law on this subject is declared
to have been insufficient to deter persons from engaging in

the traffic, and the penalties for so doing are therefore to
be rendered more severe.
The principals (amongst whom are to be included the
underwriters) are to be subject not only to a fine equal to
the value of the ship and cargo, but also to banishment;
the captains and officers to be rendered incapable of serving
in the French navy, and the other individuals of the crew
liable to a long imprisonment, from which, however, they
may save themselves, by giving information before a civil

magistrate.
These proposed regulations prove that the French Go-
vernment are at length likely to act with sincerity in their
engagements to co-operate in the suppression of the Slave
Trade, which has been carried on in so notorious a manner
under the sanction of their flag; but we much question whe-
ther the nature of these regulations is such as to accom-
plish the object in view. The dread of fine, imprisonment,
and banishment, will never counteract the effects of that
thirst for gain which must be predominant in the minds of
those who can embark in so detestable a trade ; and expe-
rience every day confirms the opinion which we have be-
fore expressed, that no means will be effectual for its
abolition till the nations of the world agree to make the
engaging in the traffic an act of piracy, and liable to the
penalties of that offence. The speech of the Minister of
Marine will be found ill another column.
The Etoile has but little political news, but such as had
reached us through other channels. It classes under Lies
of the Day an article in the Constitutionnel, dated Vittoria,
Dec. 21, which had stated, on authority of letters from
Madrid, " that the KING had written to his cousin the
King of FRANCE, that the plans of his Charge d'Affaira
and those of the Ministers of England, for the change of
the absolute Government, will not be adopted by him in
any case, or under any circumstances; and that he will
never renounce any of his rights of sovereignty
which he is resolved to preserve entire, conformably
to the fundamental laws of his Kingdom. That even
if he were inclined to change, the majority of his
subjects would oppose a Representative Government,
and are resolved to shed the last drop of their blood to
maintain the ancient usages; and that those who demand
a Constitution form but a small part of the nation."
