.3 When I last wrote to you, I was not without hope that ere
this measures would have been taken by the French Govern-
ment to arrest the progress of the Slave Trade in this neighbour-
hood, as it was difficult to suppose for a moment that the Au-
thorities here were ignorant of the extent to which the Trade
was carried onin the Settlement. hly expectation„ however,
have been disappointed ; it has increased. is hourly increasing,
and at present there is not the least appearuice even of secrecy,
nor the least fear of interruption ; for the slaves are now put on
board in the river, and the vessels pass the bar in sight of every
officer of the garrison. indeed two of the last vessels which left

this place with slaves, passed outwards at a time when three
French vessels of war, (a ship, a brig, and a schooner,) were at
anchor outside the bar, and although the a/avers sailed within
hall, no examination or notice was taken of them. The distress
In the neighbouring villages I stated to you in my last, and the
news of this renewed trifle is spreadingrapidly over the 'gaun-
try. Hamel, one of the meet p_twerful Kings in this part of
Africa, lately came to the vicinity of the Settlement, and held
several conferences with the slave traders, as if to ascertain the
accuracy of the information he had obtained, and immediately
commenced burning and pillaging' a number of his own villages,
under circumstances of the most shocking atrocity; and of his
own subjects whole famil were dragged to the banks of the
river, where they wereW, and thus separated from their
Mends, homes, and country for ever. His booty on this occa-
,sion furnished the cargo of two vessels mentioned above, which
passed the bar on the 11th of February.
" From the Moors they still continue to obtain a great num-
ber of captives, and among them this renewal of the traffic has
given rise to disputes and wars unprecedented of late years; and
it is reported here that large caravans of slaves have been collec-
ted in the interior, and are now on their way to this place, where
they are daily expected.
" The French Government having lately recalled the Com-
mandant, who, as I noticed in my former letter, could not have
been ignorant of what was passing, I cherished the hope that it
was the first step of that Government to put a stop to the trade,
and to fulfil the treaty they had made ; but I regret/46e obliged
to say, that his successor appears still-snare-Sclined to overlook
the mischief which is going on in his command ; for, as I have
mentioned before, the slaves are now put on board in the river,
and even in one case Were embarked while the vessel lay off
the town.

" Thy two vessels which remained in the river when I last
wrote to you obtained their cargoes, and sailed shortly after-
wards, and one of thtm has since returned, and is now in the
river preparing for a second cargo, to purchase which she has
brought here a large quantity of rum and tobacco.

EAST INDIA INTELLIGENCE.

roLumuo, JANE' i.RY 17.

On Nt:w Year's Day the Candian Chiefs Eyhele-
pola, the Second Adigar, the Gajenayke Nilanie, the
Uda Gabade Nileme, the Ratamahatme (,!* Hari .pat-
too, and some others, were assembled in the audience
hall .The meeting was not so full as upon some
former occasions, because many of the Chiefs are ab-
sent from Candy, either in the field or in their several
districts. His Excellency the Governor soon entered
the hill, attended by his Staf ! and accompanied by
the Honourable the Resident, the Second Commis-
sioner, the Commandant of Candy, and most of the
officers of the garrison.' His Excellency then ad-
dres ed the Chiefs in a speech to the following effect :
" Candian Chiefs—l have abstained for some time
front calling you together, in the hope that I should
have it in my power to announce to you that the in.
surrection in the disturbed provinces had been sup-
pressed*: but I am concerned to inform you, that,
owing to the severities used by the rebel leaders to
force the peoplelnto insurrection, and in consequence
of the barbarities committed by their orders on some
of the well-dispased inhabitants, who have solicited'
the protection of his Majesty's arms, the rebellion
still continues in,the Veda Ratta, and Yatta Kinda of,
Ouva, and is Wallapane ; btit the utmost exertions
are using to subdue this dicing rebellion, which, '
with the .blessing of Goa, I trust will shortly be ac-
complished.; when those who have stood forward as
the leaders and promoters of it will suffer the punish-
ment due to their atrocious crimes.

" I had flattered myself that the Candian people,
living as they have now done for nearly three years
under the benin Government of his Majesty the
King of Great Britain, wculd have been so sensible
of the benefits and security which they enjoy in their
religion, persons, and property, that there would
have been no Candian wicked and base enough to
plunge his country into all the horrors of star, in a
feeble attempt to set up a pretender to the Crown,
and least of 311, a Malabar, of the family of the late
King, from whose insupportable tyranny and oppres-
sion the Candian people were rescued by the power
of the British Government. But this vain attempt
will speedily be overcome, and the Candian people
may rest satisfied that Great Britain will never relin-
quish the Sovereignty which she has acquired by the
voluntary consents of the Chi and people.
" I shall now cause to bs read to you a Proclama-
tion, which announces the names of the traitors who
have shewn themselves the leaders, in rebellion, and '1
who have, in consequence, forfeited their lives, lands,
and properties."
After the Proclamation, as printed in our last Ga-
zette, had been read in English, by the Hon. JOHN
D'OYLEV, the Resident, and interpreted to the Chide
in Cingalese, by the 2d Maha Modiliar, his Excel-
lency the Governor resumed, and concluded his Ad-
dress nearly in these words:
" This list will now be published of those traitors,
who, swayed by no other motive than the suggestions
of their own turbulent ambition, have plunged tl.eir
country into the miseries of civil war. The present
rebellion is an act of the greatest ingratitude ; fur.
while every exertion has been made to improve the
condition of the people, no new tax has been levied,
no new service has been required—it becomes your
duty to exert your utmost efforts in aid of the British
Government. Whatever influence you may possess
in your respective districts, let it be shewn by your
encouraging the people to seize and deliver up to
condign punishment the traitors who would mislead
them to their ruin. Be assured that the British Go-
vernment knows how to distinguish between a zeal-
ous supporter, and a lukewarm friend or secret foe.
Favours and rewards shall be e'en to those who
stand forward to deserve them. I tell you this, feu-
your own sake ; that you may know beforehand
what sort of conduct it is that will be remunerated
with honour and promotion. I tell it you for the
sake of your country, which may be the sooner re•
stored to tranquillity by you! loyal exertions. For,
however you may act, I have no fear for the result.
I have in my own hands, by Gon's blessing, ample
means to crush this insurrection. It is humanity
alone that has hitherto prevented us from using them
to their full extent ; but if I am compelled, I will

The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived tWs morn-
ing.—An article from Turin states, that the Algerinc
Government received, on the Bth ultimo, a visit from
another British squadron, consisting of two ships of
the line, a frigate, and a sloop of war, which had
been dispatched thither for the purpose of supporting'
the remonstrances of the Sardinian Consul, respect-
ing a late sequestration of a Piedmontese merchant-
ship. The Der at first endeavoured to evade satis-
faction, on the ground that he was not responsible
for any injustice committed by his predecessor; but
ultimately thought proper to pay the indemniti de-
manded. It is peculiarly gratifying to see our naval
supremacy thus exerted in protecting weaker Powers
from aggression, and maintaining the freedom and
security of commercial intercourse inviolate.

A Proclamation from the King of SARDINIA an-
nounces, that he has concluded Treaties with Britain,
France, and Spain, by which each of these countries
has renounced all privileges and exemptions to which
its subjects were formerly entitled in the Sardinian
States, in consideration of certain compensations
which have been conceded by his Sicilian Majesty.
The value of these compensations may be judged of
by a general declaration which precedes them—that
the subjects of Britain, France, and Spain, shall not
be subjected in the States of Sardinia to a system of
visitation, search, and customs, more rigorous than
that which is applicable to natives. His Sicilian Ma-
jesty has farther granted a diminution of ten per
cent. upon the amount of the duties and taxes pay-
able according to the tarif in force on the Ist of
January, 1816, on goods and merchandize, the pro-
duce of any of the three countries mentioned, or of
their colonies and dependencies.

The new Bavarian Constitution is said to be the
subject of all political conversations on the Continent.
The Quolidienne, affecting to regard it as a pet feet mo-
del of legislative wisdom, puts a few questions which
would scent to make its perfection not the least of ques-
tionable n:atters. What, they ask, will our ultra-rege-
aei ators of the human species say, of a Constitution
which preserves entire, special prerogatives to the
Noblesse, such as the exclusive power of exercising
seignorial justice, exemption from inferior civil and
criminal tribunals, and the privilege of entering their
sons ir.tc the Military Service as Cadets? What
will our great thinkers think of a system which
grants in like manner to Ecclesiastics the privilege
of a special jurisdiction? Would our Apostles of
Equality have made a distinct class of proprietary
Nobles, another class not less distinct of Ecclesiastics,
and have allotted to each of them a fixed proportion
of the total number of Deputies? Would the ene-
mies of prejudice, in fine, the propagators of new
lights, have placed in the first rank among the
conditions of eligibility, the public profession of one
of the three Christian Communions?

The French Funds still continue rising in a re-
markable manner. On Tuesday the 5 per Cents. left
of at 74 fr. 90 c.

In another column will be found an extract from
the Government Gazette of Ceylon, giving an ac-
count of an Assembly held at the Government-house
or. New -Yates Day, at which the Governor made a
spirited and forcible address to the Candian Chief!,
on the subject of the existing disaffection in the island.
After exhorting them to employ whatever influence
they possess in their respective districts, in recalling
the p2ople to their obedience, the Governor conclu-
ded with this bold declaration--" If I am compelled,
I will chew you that I have the power, without your
assistance, to put this rebellion down : and I will put
it down." The Chiefs made no answer—an ominous
silence.

Her MAJESTY rode out in her garden on Thursday
evening, for about an hour ar.d a half, with which
she was much refreshed after the excessive heat of the
day. Sir Ilr.sny Ifatvoan came to town yesterday
afternoon, about three o'clock, from attending the
KING at Windsor ; and in addition to the daily atten-
dance of Sir FRANCIS MILKAN, Sir HENRY HAL-
IORD visited her MAJESTY, and we are extremely
happy to say, that in addition to the favourable ac-
count of her MAJESTY having had a very night,
the report during yesterday was—'y The C/N con-

SLAVE TRADE.
Our Readers may perhaps recollect, that a letter
from a gentleman at Senegal to one of the Directors
of the African Institution was published some time
ago, respecting the state of' the Slave Trade in that
neighbourhood, which was much commented upon
in tl:e French Papers, and led to an inquiry on the
part of the French Government. Although it appears
by the following extract of a letter from the same
correspondent that one of the Governors has been re-
moved on account of his not having taken effectual
measures to suppress the Slave Trade, we are sorry
to observe that his successor seems to be still more
negligent or culpable ; and much do we regret to
find that the Trade there, together with all its almost
inconceivable horrors, continue, to increase. We
anxiously hope that our Government . will not cease
its importunities with the Ministers of the King of
nt . France till a complete end has been put to the exis-
r tence of this dreadful and disgraceful evil in that
e part of Africa. The letter, it will be seen, is very
specific in its enumeration and description of the
