In the House of Commons I:st night Mr. *Vann-
FORCE stated his intention not to press the Slave Re-
gistry Ell this Session beyond the first reading :
this was in consequence of a declaration of Lord
CASTLEREAGH, that ne:ociations were now pending
between our Government and other Powers (probably
Spain a:id Portt:;,7:11) f:•T• the entire extinction of that
infamous tr.:Jlic. His Lot dship also expressed a hope
(we wish we cobld see grounds to Lope) that the
Colani Legi .14tures would themselves Clint such a
measure, and thus relieve Parliament entirely from
this delicate question.

The Inisiness which we yesterday mentiAled to
have been brought before the Meeting of Bank Pro-
prietors was last announced icy the CHANCEL-
wit of the EM:IIEQ:ER, and will be discuSsed on Mon-
day-. C.ln farther pr4.of be wanting to est4blish the
tact on which we have often insisted, that the Bank,
by the suspension of cash p tyments, has been enabled
to reap immense piefits, at the expense of other indi-
viduals ? Is it not evident then that the Public should
participate more largely ►n the benefits of this systein?
But of this on a future day.
Mr. Seijeant ONSLOW'S Motion for repealing the
Usury Laws—that is, to allow every person to make
the most profit he can of his money; xi- of any other
species of property—was last night withdrawn, after
some 4liscusaon. It was argued, that however correct
the doctrine maisitained the "Learned Serjeant
might be in principle, it would be found highly incon•
vement to alter the practice at d e present moment.

Sir SAW= Rosnu.v introduced his promised
statement of the Protestants in the South of France,
and brought forward a great mass of interesting and
irriportant matter. The fact of their sufferings and
persecutions was not denied by Lord Casmeanacu,
tut the Noble Lord attributed it to the intolerance
said to have been exercised by the Protestants them-
selves when possessed of power during the Revolu-
tion t—and that, since the return of the Boum)Ns
they were only enduring, in their turn, the reaction
of an outraged political party, for whose crimes the
Government of France were by no means accounta-
ble. Tire motion having been intended solely to
give an opportunty for the statement, was not
pressed by Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY.

• We have received the Paris Papers of Tuesday.—
They contain an account of some arrests at Bourges,
in the very heart of France. It is probable that these
arrests are connected with the events at Dijon and
Grenoble, from which Bourges is not very far dis-
tant. In short, every day's intelligence from France,
and more particularly from the countries adjoining,
announces that France, nom itbstanding the care taken
to conceal the circumstances in the. Journals, is in a
most perturbed state. The ringleaders of the disaf-
fected are generally disbanded Officers :
