said the Marquis. of Bucking tam has shewn a consi-
derable degree of interest for them. Lord Aucklan4
had yesterday a conference with Sir Robert, who ik
said to have declined that his resolution not to reply
to slr sign any interrogation was because such a doeu-
Jnent was to be used not in his favour but against him ;
that fora Magistrate to extort a similar act from a
pironer was the most flagrant injustice, a truth so well
recognised in England, that tke Judge on the Bench
' frequently interrupted the accused, ex dick, with the

IMIMIIMMI

The Paris Papers of the 291 ate now due, nor do
the private letters tectived yesterday add much to
what was before known respecting Sir Rosen'. Wu,.
aint, Captain HUTCIIR4SON. and Mr. Buoys. Sir
Rosser continues to refuse to answer interrogatories,'
and in this he is certainly right; for by such means
'apparent coasistenoy is sometimest given to pound-
less charges, and links ate formed to being into one
system disjointed facts which have in themselves no
real connectioo. We are not speaking now of the
guilt or innocence of Sir 'COURT j. but of the essen-
dais pf justice. If he be guilty of a crime, we
hope he will by no subterfuge escape the just ope-
ration of the ktw ; but if innocent, let not illegaf
meano be aougbt to damn his good name. We must
say that we have seen, in some of the London Papers,
very unfair attempts made to lower his character. !X
this kind we consider the imputation of having, forged
the Document published as the Report of M. Poxso
Bohan t and why is he to be held as the author of
this paper i—..imerely Sesause a very slovenly copy of
it was found among his papers by the Police I By
this mode of reasoning the papet must have had a
hundred authors ; for bad the Police, instead of
searching Sir Roseter's apartments, searched those of
almost any Englishman of the smallest consideration
in Paris, they would there have found a copy of the
paper in question—in fact, retry one is eager to ob-
tain copies of singular documents, some for their
awn information, some to send to the Editing. of
London Papers,, and some to send to their friends.
We hav,e ourselves received manuscript copies of
different curious documents before they found dick
way to the press. What part SW kr/UWE may have
acted respecting the escape of LAvaLerre we know
note-the evidence when fairly brought•forward, will
best elucidate that point; but, as the friends of jus-
tice, we cannot bat reprobate attempts to, lay to his
charge the crime of forgery, merely because one of
the copies, of which there were many, was found
among his papers. •No man .should be prejt4ged,
but a man is prejudged when other acts, affecting his
moral Character, are imputed to hiropending his, trial.
'Sir Ronette has also been charged with obtaining a
I passport for an English General Officer, under which
passport Lot-au:Try travelled. We will not receive
on any evidence which we have yet seen such a
shame against any British Officer. Let the charge
be FArst proved,
We are under no amehension that any of our Red-
ders will sal ar misunderstand our meaning as to believe
for a moment that we are of the number who rtijoice
at the escape of LAVA LETic—perlinps the vilest of all
the traitors that joined in the conspiracy against theta
lawful Sovereign ; or that we would justify the part
which any persons, be they who they may, took in
effecting his liberation—exceptiag only one, namely.
van wife. Her act we do applaud, nor do we w:sh
:for the good opinion of any (if such can be found)
who would condemn this act of conjugal affection.
But in our detestation of the treason of LavaLarre,
we will not allow ourselves, nor our Readers, if we
can prevent it, to be but into a sweeping admis-
sion of charges against honourable men, not yet sop-
'potted lay evidence.

Some Gamut and Dutch Papers arrived this
morning, from which we make the following extracts :

BERLIN, JANUARY 16.

His scellency the Minister of the Interior, C. Von
Scbucktnaan, has laid before his Majesty the King a
view of the manifold and very considerable sacrifrces
which the late rapiily and gloriously-ended war re-
,cluired, and which the people has again made, with
th• loyalty and devotedness which distinguished it in
the eventful years 1813, 1814.

The following Royal Decree is a speaking proof
of the affection and simple dignity with which our
virtuous Monarch always addresses his faithful people:
" The manifold requisitions and sacrifices which
the late short and glorious war demanded, combined,
with the zeal and gooe.-will every where displayed
by she Magistrates and subjects in submitting to them,
have induced me to lay befOre his Majesty a view of
Idle supplies of every kind which they have furnished*
and thereby to prove, that while the Prussian army
:gained great victories, the rest of the subjects, in
their respective situations; fully proved their loyalty
and attachment to their King and country. His Ma-
jes,ty has hereupon been pleased to express hiinself
in the following terms, in a Cabinet Order of the
16th instant :
'4, The view which you ha re given of the supplies
furnished by all the Provinces of the Prussian States,
proves equally the good spirit of the subject' and of
the Authorities who were employed in famishing
men, and in providing military requisites and supplies
'for the troops. I have not left unobserved these
proofs of inviolable attachment during the whole
course of the year; it has,, however, given me great
pleasure to see the above great results placed in one
view, and I charge you co snake known to the Ad-
moiirratiee Authorities and to the country, my satis-
faction and acknowledgments,
I fulfil this agreeable duty, with the conviction
that both the Administrative Authorities std the

WEST INDIA. SLAVERY: •
. -
Ai this subject kvill flukey the early attentkin of
Parliament, we only dischirge it deli to butuanity
in calling the attention of Ministers, and of Members
of Parliament, to the facts stated in the following'
letter. is Oran*, hirers:me I, 2551.
Yon left us about a year ago, we were then
starving—no corn or flour was to be purchased. The'
crop of last March proved worse than the fanner,
and yet plenty prevails at this moment. When the
badness of the last 00 was ascertained, our Lieu-
'tenant-Governer said he would renew the Proclaim.
tions, which no doubt were the means of saving this
Island from famine id the latter end of last year t but
he has not, owing, it is said, to orders he received
from home—he, however, has adopted other mea-
sures, which have answered equally well : so early
as last April, he gave licenses, geatir, to every vessel
that would bring corn into the Island ; and he sent
some, I am told, to every part of the West Indies,
where it was probable corn could be had. Small
vessels pay no fees whatever, if they bring corn
alone. If an inhabitant petitions for permission to
export any thing, it isgeanted, provided be engages
to bring back a loath of corn. if a foreign vessel
comeaoff the port with flour alone, she is not per-
Mitted to enter; but, she has any corn, she is wel.
come.. By these MOM we have pigsty of this nuts-
sary article, and it now sells at 11 dollar per bushel s
when you left us it was selling at five dollars. It
oUr Lieutenant-Governor had not taken these mea-
surel, we must have.been at this present time in a
state of th,e greatest distress, as we have had-no rain
for the last nine months and our Planters say they
will lose all their cattle, if the rains do not soon set
in. The last crop was so very bad, that only seven.
Planters have now corn sufficient to maintain their
Slaves :—Among those fortunate few ate your
friends Rom and SCoTBOOKOD, of Santa Martha—
all the rest must purchase foreign corn ; and you
know many have from 100 to 150 Slaves to teed for
the next seven months, until the next harvests as
things are, it will go very hard with Many of the
Planters, but it corn was as dear as last year, they
would be ruined.
4. Our Lieutenant-Governor not only takes care of,
our bodies, but lie attends also to the morals of the
people, and in order to prevent as much as possible
out licentious customs, he grants licenses for mar-
t tage, gratis. to every 'person who declares he. is too
pour to pay tor it—no questions are asked to ascer-
tain the fact, but the license is at once signed. There
has been, iii con sequence, more marriages since Ge-
neral La Coo runes arrival, than for ten years before.
aa I should be very happy to see the good inten-
tions of your Parliament carried into effect through-
out the West Indies; and it they do really wish to
encourage matrimony in these countries, and the
manumission of Slaves, they ought to' pass laws to
favour such views. The leading members of your
Government cannot but know, that all the local laws
and ideas of the white inhabitants are opposed to
such beneficial ends, and that it is their policy to keep
the other class in a state little above the brute crea-
tion. The fees in the different offices for a license to
marry, amounts to about LSO or £4O, and how can
a black man pay that, who has not a farthing to
spare ? In Jamaica, lam told, the least sum paid
by the poorest free Negro for a christening, is two
dollars.
la Every impediment is also put in the way of the
manumission of Slaves. When I quit this place, I
should like to give freedom to my slave Joust, who
has been very faithful to me—but see the expense at-
tending it : I paid £l5O tor him four years since—
'to make him free, the Colonial duties amount to
about ltX) dollars and the fees to the Governor and
different offices will amount to 50 or 100 more.—
This is not all, I am bound to give security of 0200
ilia be will not become a charge to the Island.—
Such expenses are a bar to the good intentions of the
best disposed people, and are calculated to rivet the
chains of slavery and misery in these countries.
al It is to the benevolence and enlightened views
of your Parliament alone that a degraded race have
to intik up for further support: much good has been
done, but the evil is not eradicated. If we cannot
strike at once at the root of a poisonous weed, we
must adopt other means to check its progress.
4, These• people ought to be christened and mar-
ried free of expense ; schools ought to be established
among them, and Proprietors bound by law to send
their Children-Slaves, at stated times, to receive
mural instruction. Every individual Slave, who has
by his honest industry earned a sum sufficient to pur-
chase his freedom, ought to obtain it without paying
the enormous fees exacted by the Governors, Clergy
and Colonial establishments. Masters should also be
empowered to grant liberty to faithful and deserving
Slaves, free of expense—ahe worthless and incorri-
gible alone ought to meet with difficulties• in obtain-
ing freedom:
4, I know it would be difficult to persuade Planters
to adopt these measures yet I know, by my own ez-
.perience, that a free Negro, who has Iris character at
stake, will perform the work of four Slaves. lam
raware that a Slave is not• to be suddenly transformed
into an industrious and active free man ; his 'lazy
indolent habits, and indifference to reputation and
character, are the natural consequences of the smithy
of slavery, and the totalateglect of moral and reli-
gious instruction. Bat let the Negro, of both sexes,
receive instruction in their duty to GOD and to their
neighbour, very early in life, and In freedom be held
out to them as the reward of industry and constant
good behavioist, whenever they can purchase it, ind I
will venture! to promise every Planter, that, in the
course of twenty years, his plantation will be culti-
vated and worked by one-third of the hands which
be requires at present.
' We live in an age when ignorance can no longer
be a guarantee' for passive submission, therefore -let
the Planter consider how muoh he is interested in
giving that instruction to his Negroes. which is de-
rived from the pure fountain of truth.
al We are UN:ripe: of seeing our Dutch Governor
very shortly—it is said inDecember ; but there are
many among us who would prefer to remain under
the &lush Governmeat.":

listed of about twenty persons of• rank, principally
belonging-to the Roy al Nine. The PRINCI R.ROCNT
was so moth better that he was in the salon, and in
the apartinent adjoining the music room for upwards
of three hours. His Royal _Highness was entire:;
Ire.: from pain, and remarkably cheerful.
The following is a collect copy of the Bulletin

JANUARY 24.—The report of Dr. TIIKUEY this
morning, respecting the Paint Rinsames-coMplaint
of the gout, is extremely satisfactory, inasmuch as it
is impossible for his Royal Highness to do better,
and no doubt is entertained of his speedily getting rid
of his troublesome companion. It is, however, re-
ported that his Royal Highness will not open the
approaching Sessions of Parliament in person.

HOAL—Monday last was Cited upon for a grand
race day on Brighton course. A young :prig an-
pounced to some of the knowing ones in London, and
a•
tew persons in Brighton, that the PRINCE REGENT
would give £lO5 for a plate, aadpumerous twitches
were to be run, and that he was to be Steward. 011

don the day before, and the wholn turned out to be
Boaz.

ROYAL HUNT.--Monday Were was Most excel-
lent tient with the Royal Stag hounds. They were
started from near iiracknel. The deer at starting
afforded some excellent sport,and went off with great
swiftness through the inclosures, making towards
Waltham Common, passing by the new lodge on the
edge of the Forest, where he took to the left, and
made an excellent leap over the palling into Windsor
Great Park, and made across the Park, and went out
of the Park by Bishop's Gate, and crossed Inglefield
Green, making down the bill, and towards the Race
Course, near which spot he crossed the rivet Thames;
the sportsmen and bounds, in consequence, made for
Staines, and crossed the Thimes by the bridge, and
took the country to the left, towards Raisbury, where
the deer and the chace were renewed, with the • deer
quite fresh again, having had upwards of an hour's
rest, and he set off again with great swiftness, and in
very fine style, taking to the right by &awe'', mak-
ing a double to the left by Clubrook, where he
.crossed the Bath road, and made for Riching Park,
the seat of Squire Selwyn, where he attempted to
leap over the piling, but not being able to accom-
