the %tentless which the Duke de Richelies has mini- I
felted in a letter addressed to the Chief Magistrate of
this Department. The sentiments it contains ale too

to encleovoor to report them, es far as a rapid read-
ing has admitted of our retaining Sheol :
" I desire (says the Duke de Richelieu) Ile this
endowment employed to the advantage of a town
which has acquired so many claims to the esteem of
all good Frenchmen. Resides the motives which I
hold in common with all the friends of Monarchy, I
• have Whets to attach me to Bourdeeus, which I am
happy to reed on this occasion. The remembrance
of usy name end family still lives in year city, after
so many events =kidded to efface it. I cannot re-
frain from attributing much of the cordiality which I
have received from lb* inhabitants of Boordesus, to
the respect which they retain for the memory of my
grandfather, and their reception will ever remain
I deeply graven on my heart.'
" We earnestly wish it were in Oaf power t•

the purport i'self, that we wosid over to the admits-

Tu•duy the Funds look tether upward again. The

What the CiIANCELLOR of the Exeunt:ea said in
the House has bed anme effect also. But the breath
of Ministers will •ever again effect the weeders it
hes done. It is now the general opinion of the
People that they have been trifled wit►, and played
upon too much in that way.

We refer ..or Renders, with great satisfaction, to
the motion of Laid llou.son, in the llowo of Peers,
on Thoadsy night, for the production of the Acts
in the Colonial Legislator's in the West Indies, in
furtherance of the design of Parliament effectually to
accomplish the Abolition of the Slave Trade in the
British Colonies, sod else to give eto►al end religious
instruction to the street population, end generally
to emend their condition. The pleasure we received,
arose out of that triumph of humanity, which has
been gained by the opposers of the Slave Trade.
—Even Ministers are compelled to eche the semi-
timents of the friends of the Abolition. This is
well ; for, hollow as they are in their thoeghts, they
do good in this way withoot meaning it. Pawn-
DINCI makes use of the 'kited as well as the good
to effect Its great purposes. While we rejoice in this
general aspect of good relative to the Wool Aboli-
lion of the Slave Trade in the British Colonies, we!
must not permit ourselves to copy the flattering pie. I

cannot wish to teach their poor captive that he is the
victim of their rapacity, the human sacrifice offered

!would have him to believe, not that he has an im-
mortal soul, but that he is as the beast that perishes,
anti is made, in common with the brute creation,
for the sole convenience and use of his master. The
Mlistommaiss, who base sheared to poor religion'
and moral instruction into the hearts ■nd minds of
the West India slaves, have been the object of
jealousy, of hatred, and of persecution among the
Slave-owners. We do not mean to designate a whole
