The friends of Humanity. the real friends of the
United Empire, will rejoice at the refult of the mo-
tion made in the Houle of Commons laR night. re-
fpeitiag the abolition of the Slave Trade, which was
carried by a very great majority. The period at
which the Slave Tt.de (hall ceafe is left for dif-
eurson. and indeed mull be the principal queßion in
the Bill which will now be brought in. The objea
of thofe who voted laR night, however. mull be to
put an end to it immediately. '

Laft night we received French journals to the

The particulars refpeaing the nomination of Bona
PatTS to the Imperial dignity will of coorfe claim the
Ira attention, but there is one dircumaance mention-

portant. The French Funds are admitted to have
fafered a deprelfion, and the Fall is attributed to the
late amine of the Emmett of RUSSIA, and to the

the organic Sasser Confohoo, which confers the title

Bandy decreed that the Members IhoaM imme-
diately repair to St. Cloud. to parent the organic

the elate of the fitting. accompanied by feveral bo-

dies of troops.
The Senate on its arrival being immediately ad-
mitted to an audience of the Emperor, the Conrail
Caseaceass, the prefideat, prefented the organic
Smear Ceefekom to the FOIST Consul., and (poke ea
follows :
" Stan—The decree which the Senate haspaifed,
and which it takes the collet opportunity ofprefeot:
ing to your Imperial Welly, is only the authentic
expreffion of a will already =snitched by the nation.
This decree, which confers on you a new tide, and
which after you fccures the dignity hereditary to your
race, adds nothing either to your glory or to your
rights. The love and gratitude of the French voo-
ple have, for four years, estrufted to year Majely
the reins of Government, and the Conftiratione of the
State repofed in you the choice of a fucceffor. The
more auguft denomination decreed to you, is then
only a tribute which the nation pays to its own dig-
nity, and to the neeelfity it experiences of giving you
daily teftimonies of refpea and of attachment, which
every day increafe.
" How could the French people find bounds to its
gratitude, when you place none to your care and fa
licitude for it ? Preferring the remembrance of the
evils which it fuffered when abandoned to itfelf; how
could it retie& without enthuftatm on the happinefs
it has experienced, fioce Pacsvioaeca infpired it with
the idea of throwing itfelf into your arms ? Its armies
were defeated ; its finances were is diforder ; public
credit was annihilated ; rations were difputing for
the remains of our ancient fplendour ; every idea,of
morality, and even of religion was &feared ; the
habit of giving and returning power, left the Magif-
'rates without confideration, and even rendered °is-
mss every kind of authority.—Your Majefty ap-
peared; you recalled viaory to our ftandards ; yea
eftablithed order and economy in the public ea-1
ponces ; the nation, encouraged by the safe you
made of your authority, retuned confidence in its
own refources ; your wifdom allayed the rage of
party ; religion faw he altars railed up; ideas of jut-
Lice and injuftice were awakened in the minds of the
citizens, when they law crimes followed by punilh-
ment, and sirtues fignalifed and rewarded with ho-
nourable diftintlions. In the lea place, and it is no
doubt the greatell of the miracles operated by your
genius, that people, whole civil:efferrefcence had ren-
dered them impatient of every reftraint, and hoftile
to every authority, you were by your means made to
cherith and retpee a power which was exercifed only
for their glory and revile.
The French people do not pretend to eftahlifis
thankless judges of the Conftitutions of other States;
they base no critical semarka to make ; no temples

to follow ; experience in future will imams their
guide. They Imre tailed for ages the advantages at-
tached to hereditary power ; they !whoa& a !horn
hut painful trial of the contrary fyitem : they return
by the circa of free and mature deliberation to a path
faked to their genius. They make -a free ale of
their rights, to delegate to your Imperial WORT a
power which your intim& forbids you to satercife 6y
yourfelf. They Ripulate for future generations, and
by a foliose comma enema to the offspring of your
race the happinefs of their pawky. The latter will
intitate your victims, the fames will inherit oar love
and oar fidelity. nappy the nation, which, after fo
