1I AGUE, MARCH 20.!

At the commencement of this week, the Comrc't-
tee appointed by his Majesty for the affairs of AEI
culture began its sittings.

A Flanders Mail brings the following intelligence:

COPENHAGEN, MARCH 12.

For some days all kinds of absurd reports hay
been in circulation in this capital: among others,
that, by the intervention of Great Britain, Sweden
would be put in possession of the island of Iceland,
in exchange for an indemnity on the frontiers of Ila-
novel-. In consequence of these reports, some peace-
able English have lsCen as,ailed and in-treated by the
populace. The Government, therefore, caused it to
be announced that these reports are absolutely with-
out foundation. However, it is not doubted that
there are at this moment negotiations on foot tending
to a special alliance hetween England and llcumalk.

Prince Frederick, is expected at the Palace of Luken.
—A letter from Cambray, dated the 17th instailt,
says—" A new plot, the object of which was to ex-
cite an insurrection in the environs of Lion, has just
been baffled. A pretty numerous troop of clarity:
men, directed by some Oilicers in disguise, had formed
the project to induce the villages and towns of dr.!
Canton to revolt, and then to procud to La Fere. to
make themselves masters of the magazines and a:ci!-

together with the melting of the snow which had
previously fallen, caned another oyez flow ofJoric,,

waters rose from that time until about nine o'clock,
when they commenced falling. It is impossible to

Captain Davis, of the ship Frederick, who sailed
from Havre on the 18th ult. is bearer of dispatdies
from the American Legation at Paris to our Govern-

in the report of a commercial arrangement having
taken place between the United States and France.

of that Government here for information on the sub-

his answer, which is, " That he has received no in-

We have received Sierra Leone Letters and Papers
to the 22d of January. The return of the Governor,
Sir CHARLES M'CARrat, from England, had excited
peat joy in the Colbny. The slave-trade is still car-
ied on to a dreadful extent on that coast by France.
The Snapper, an English cruizer, fell in with nine
slave vessels, seven of which were boarded, and found
to be French, completely fitted for the slave-trade. One'
of the Ft each schooners boarded was a mere boat,
though she had on bo ird 153 slaves, literally packed
together. These poor creatures v‘ ere in a truly pitiable
state, and evinced, by their piteous cries and gestures,
their anxiety to be released. " The feelings of our
Officers on the occasion," says a cot respondent on
board the Snapper, " need not, and indeed could not
be described: our sailors, not very familiar with laws
or treaties, expressed their indignation in no equivo-
cal terms on our permitting the schooner to proceed ;
they of curse feel rather at a loss to account for the
rartiality shewu to the French flag."

The proceedings in the French Chamber of Depn.
t;es stili continue to be of that stormy character which
b hews the violence of party spirit. The subject of the
budget has occupied the Chamber for some days,
and several reductions proposed by solve of the De-
puties,
but rejected. The discussion was marked by
some very severe attacks on the late French Ministry,
it regard to the foreign policy of France. M. Baute
t!c‘ VILLA UT attacked the conduct of Government in
neglecting to establish a commercial intercourse with
St. Domingo ; in suffering all commercial relations
t', cease with the Provinces of the Rhine and Belgium,
the hearts of whose inhabitants, he said, were French,
and whose territory would one time or another become
French. He next noticed their permitting a Power,
which had been always the rival of France, peaceably
to occupy Italy from one end to the other, and even to
plant garrisons close to the French frontier. With
regard to Greece, the conduct of the French Govern-
ment, he said, had been equally culpable. In other
rays, the seizure of Geneva merely would have'
lighted up a general war in Europe. So with regard
V. Greece, it had been said that a war in favour of
the Greeks was an event to be deprecated ; as the
Turks were resolved never to abandon that country
until they bad reduced it to a desert, and extermi-
nated its inhabitants. " All this," said M. VILLA..
EFT; " might do very well before the Greeks had
exasperated their tyrants, by rebelling against the
infidel yoke; but now that Epirus, Macedonia, the
Archipelago, and Peloponnesus had almost recovered
their independence, it would be a fine way of con-
sulting the interests of justice and humanity, to leave
The Turks in possession of means to subjugate their
unhappy bondsmen."
M. MA NUEL also condemned the political conduct
o!' the late Ministers in terms of great severity.
After a very clamorous debate, the sums proposed
for the foreign budget were adopted.
