larly anxious to contribute to the reestablishment of
the Germanic Empire. Its Constitution trill Ise aim.
prised in the feilowing articles, of the whole of which,
however, we cannot guarantee the authenticity. The
Imperial dignity will be as heretpfore, elective, in
such manner, however, that the Electors shall always
choose a Prince of Austria, and the Emperor shall
have, in case of war, a full right of Sovereignty over
the entire ban of the Empire. Under his orders the
Kings of Prussia sod Bavaria will command as Vicars
of the Empire l dip first for the North, and the lacer
for the South of Ge many, according to the ci-devant
rights of Saxony and Franconia. The Empire of
Germany is to be divided as heretofore luto circles,
which will be under the orders of the great Sovereign
Houses, who are to bear the title of Grand Duke,
joined to the Royal dignity.

nominated by the Electors and the circles, and of a
President of the Chamber of Justice appointed by the
Emperor. It will decide on the affairs of the Princes

We have the tattstaction to announce the termini-
ton of the war in"Norwiy. It will be seen by the
contents of the Gottenburgh Mails, that Prince CHRIS-
TIAN resigns his pretensions to the Crown, and or.
Course all ends amicably. The terms granted to the
Norwegians do honour to the Swedes. The former
are to be governed by their own Diet, and are per.
*flitted to enact their own laws. The. Norwegians do
" not seem to have been 'actuated by any serious spirit
.of hostility against the Swedes, nor have they been at
all cordial or unanimous in their support of the pre.
tensions of the Dauith Prince.

Lord CAStLEREAGH, as we announted some time I
ago, visits Paris on Ms way from Ghent to Vienna.
According to dispatches received on Saturday even-
ing from his Lordship, he would on that day reacts
the French capital. One object of his visit there is
probably to make, if possible, some arrangement with
the French Government respecting the Slave
This is a question of great importance; nor can we
believe that the French, as a nation, whatever may
be the wishes of some individuals, can desire to per-
petuate the miseries of so large a portion of mankind, •
by cantiuning a traffic in human beings. Sooner or
later that system. which hat only bid its commence-
ment in the prohibition of the African. Slave Trade,
must be perfected by the complete abolition of
livery it.self in the West-Indies.. ,
Without the concurrence ina CO-operatioi...ol,
France the time must yet be remote ; and every nisi
importation of Slaves, in the interim, must tend to
make. the period still more distant—for both the
Slave's and the Siave.liolders require yet Much schoding,
and their proticlency in moral acquirements will be
retarded by a revival of this infernal trade. lltst why
should we doubt the inclination of such a people as
the French, with such a Monarch as LoutsXVIII• to
nisist in accomplishing so desirable an object ? We
are persuaded, on the contrary, that the French Go-
iternment, will lend every assistance to root up so
great an evil.'

We have received Paris Papers of Friday last, but
.hey contain little intelligence of importance, Thei
ceremonials attending the reception of the -Duke of
Wcilawtbrk at the French Cate, aad the Festival

.of St. Louis, which was celebrated on the 25:14 nearly
fill the commas of these Journals. By a Royal Cr-
ilonnaace it appears, that the French Financial Sys-
tem is getting into something like regular order : the
army has been paid the arrears of ISIS, and two
