Paris Journals of the zoth infant inclufive, came
to hand yefterday. There journals anounce, that
in confegnence of the Treaty of Laneville, and to
make an application of the principles of that
Treaty to the political relations which exift be-
tween the French Republic and his Serene High-
nets the Duke of Wirrssaazac, a particular
Treaty has been concluded between France and
that Prince. This Treaty was figncd on the 19th
by Citizen }Wm RIV E, Chief of divifionof Foreign "
Relations, and Baron de Noameurt, Vice Prefident
of the Regency of Wirtemberg, nominated fur
that purpofe Minifters Plenipotentiaries by the two
powers.

The plan for inflituting. a Legion of Honour
has received the Illation of the Legiflative Body.
Any thing like a dire& manly oppofition to any
meafure whatever is not to be looked for in France
at the prefent moment. In the Tribunate, how-
ever, two (poke againft this plan, fimply objeFling
to it as ere&ing a privileged order, a body of chi-
valry, refembling a feudal inflitution. Thefe
Members were petulantly reprimanded by LUCIEN
BONAPARTI. The Minority, however, was 113
againft 166, in the Legiflative Body—in the Tri-
bunate, 38 againft 56.
The Tribunate have agreed to the law for re-
boring Slavery and the Slave Trade, by 54 to 27.
ADIT made the Report of the Committee on the
isoth, and we do not find any debate took place on
the fubjet, notwithftanding a minority of 27. It
is evident that the poor men dare not fpeak. ADET'S
Report is begun, but not finifhed in the Moniteur.
The grounds of his motion for palling the law are,
the neccffity of Slavery and the Slave Trade, as
they flood before, to the profperity of the iflands.
He feems to confider it as fortunate that they I:11
into our hands at a time when the fpirit of infurrt c-
lion was abroad among the Negroes, as they were
proteCted and improved. He fags, that Slavery
is like War ; Philofophers may talk of giving it
up, but one nation cannot venture to do fo if others
don't. Mark how the French have returned to
Religion and Social Order ! Mark how they have
" afked pardon of GOD and Man" for their high
crimes and mifdemeanours ! But Monficur ADET
mutt (peak for himfelf:
Whatever horror Negro Slavery may infpire in the brcaft of
the philanthropift, its utility in the eliding organifation of LI:-
ropean Societies makes it impollible for one nation to renounce
it, without compromifing the interctts of other natiouc. It may
too regarded as one of theft intlitutions which it is =titan' go

etc& ewe* doles We wilt to get rid of than, basset they
intereft the Way of our neighbours. Europe is a great fa-
mily, every part of which is bound by the laws adopted for the
conferratioo of the whok (nothing tan be more juft in principle.,
Every nation, to be lure, has the right, in its internal admini-
ftration, to do whatever it judges neeeffary for its interefle
agreeably to the principles of the majority of men of whom it
is compofed. But, if by there medures It tends to trouble
the peat— nr to change the hate of other nations, thofe other
rationo late-zited in their own confervrion may call that
a • ato —count for a eonduet which beomes prejudicia
to tem. Hu a man, toufetbe expedite cola modern writer
the horrible right to inoculate banter with the plague ? Can a
trim then, which, in relation to otherii, may be likened to an
individual, have the right to featter among its neighbours a prin-
ciple of corragion equally expnifive in its nature, rapid in it
costrtunication, and difaftrous in its aids p Doubtlefs we were
very far from thefe magi= when the law of the ad Pluviofe
year a, was pared. At that time, however, the Republic
thought of nothing but defending 'tier, and when they con pared
its ruin, could It think of the confervation of its enemies ? Now
when the fury of war has given place to facial ideal; now when
Trance is replaced with honour in her Ration in the family Of
Europe, file ought to refurne the family feeling, and as much as
Des in her power, make her inftitutions coincide with thole ce.°
ether nations, in order to maintain that harmony of principle
which tends to preferve focieties. and to perpetuate that peace
fo needfary to the happinefs of all nations.
Some of thefe fentiments in their generality, we
are very far from difapproving. No nation that
thinks of living well with others can negleft them.
At the fame time the duties refulting from them
are like the correfponding clafs of duties among
individuals, vague in their application and imper-
lea in their fanetions. We Ihould not have exiled-
ed, however, to find them applied to the Slave
Trade! A mighty fine illuftration of the principles
of facial order to which the French have returned!
But this is not all, Monfieur Mar.'s principle
gives France a right to call to to account, if we
venture to abolifh the Slave Trade; fo that the
patrons of the Slave Trade have nothing more to I
do than to get M. Otto to forbid any thing like
the abolition. This family relion thus becomes
pretty complicated. What a pity that Boma-
PARTE was not toner let up in trade!
We beg Mr. Wisst itiOaCit, Mr. Pt Tr; and other
enemies of the Slave Trade to confider Monfieur
Aner's argument. The French rffsais the Slave
Trade becaufe we have Iv it up; and no doubt
this complaifance muft bind us not to lay it down
for fear of treesthieg upon the facial maxims and the
family feeling: of our new friends. We with the
fupporters of the Slave Trade much joy of their
new allies 1

The Mayors of one or two towns and villages
have written to the Government, that the people
feise with alacrity the opportunity ofchoofing &-
PAPA RTII for life. The Afoniteur fay: nothing hither-
to of the power of appointing a fuceeffor. The
refult of the votes is no where yet afcertained or
announced. The Journals fay not a word of what
piles in the interior, fo as to throw the (mallet
tight on public opinion.

Our Readers will fee by our extracts from the
New York Papers, that Tons:mar fill wifely
keeps to his bong holds. It appears he has me
raced the Cape with a new maniere. This may
have caufed the head-quarters to be moved.
When the Chefterfield packet (which has jut
arrived at Falmouth) left Jamaica, very unfa-
vourable accounts were in circulation, concerning
the French expedition at St. Domingo: the French
army, it was Paid, were much reduced by the cli-
mate, and the pi edatory warfare carried on by the
blacks, who keep the French conflantly on the
alert: it was alfo fated, that unlefs very confide-
table reinforcements were rtceived, the expedition
was not expo red to end favourably for the French.
