French Papers to the 15th have been received.—'
The French Government have takes up, with some
apparent earnestness, the subject of the Slave Trade,
and proposed a Law, proisibitiag ell its esbjeds from
engaging is that abominable traffic, on pain of for-
feiting the ship and amigo. The rule, however, which
this torratry lays down as the only effectual mods of
elected% suck a Law, and which it is said the British
Government has pressed France to adopt, does not
appear to have met a fell reciprocity, from the lath-
ing jealousy of the Bourbon Ministers. A Corm.'
. spondeat, however, in t private letter, adds, to the'
information of this legislative proceeding, the state-
meat, that France has finally resoleed to IrdiliaW.
ledge the independence of St. Domingo. If coffee,
• this intelligence may certainly be considered arhighly.

Project of the Slave 'trade law was presented en the

of Marley, which be stated, In his introdeetory
speech, to be in conformity *kb the Additional Ar-
ticle of the Treaty of Paris of the 20th of Novem-
ber, 1815, end also with the recommendation of the
Congress of Vienna. By this Project it is proposed
to enact the penalty of the cuabscation of every ship
and cargo sagged in any manner in carrying en the
Slave Trade, in the dominions of Fiance. The pro-
ceedings in the case of seizure are to be laid be--

It is stated in the Journals that the day after the at-
tack upon the Duke of WELLINGTON, en individual
named Onus suddenly left Paris, after having his mom.
tachios cut off. He was pursued, and having been
arrested a few days since at Lyons, was conveyed to
•Pario, where he arrived on Wednesday last. Bet who
or what this individual is, why be had his mustachios
cat off, or what connexion there was between his
mustachios and the shot fired at the Duke of Wale,
Lintrrost, we are not in the slightest degree informed.
The conferences between the Doke of WELLINGTON
and the Foreign Minhters were still continued, and
with the same festive on the part of the Journals as
to the objects ender discussion. His Grace Mid re-
covered from the slight indisposition mentioned in
the fonnOr Papers. The Madrid Gazette las been
directed to state that the King of SPAIN snakes Do
other sacrifice for the acqeisition of the Keseiso fleet
than the payment in snowy of its raise.
The French Stocks are at which, with the
Dividend, would be equivalent to 68.

A Mail from Ilarnhorgh has also arrived.' The
intelligence which it brings relates chiefly to the af-
fairs of Sweden and Norway. The Sitting of the
Danish States was opened on the 6th of February.
Count SionstmEe read a speech of the KING, in
which his, Majesty frankly acknowledges the failure,
to a cart& went, of the plans of Finance adopted
in the last Sitting, and his confident hope that a con-
tinuance of peace, and the retrenchments 'blade by
the GOTPIIIIIMPISt, will OVPlitallti, • efe•iase the ber-

An account has been lately received of an interest-
ing discovery made in the Sooth of Africa, shoot '2O
;odes Ninth of Cape Town. Some persons in digging,
Lappened to strike upon what appeared a beam of
timber, bat tracing it they found a ship, or other large
vessel, deeply imbedded in the mit. A plank of it
has accompanied the account of the discovery. It'
appears to be cedar, and is in a state of good pre-
eervation.
A Morning Paper says, we understand that semi
arrangements are expected to take place shortly, is
cuusequeoce of which Mr, Wznizall" will b"twiSti

The.pveceedinp in. the Court of Session (Statist
Division) for the last week have been of no commas
Interest. We have already' adverted to What-wee
done on Tuesday in the there awes of Aberdeese;lra-
wetness, and Edinbergit.. In the. -ght instance, the,
Election of Magistrates ha been set *side Utah,
and interim Managers have been appointed. fa door
two latter cases, judgment has been delayed on ac
count of the Court having been divided in opinion.
Lords Robertson and Bsnnityne iere'ilear that there
were grounds enough in process fir at once deciding
the Rirction as to Edinburgh. Lordi Gimlets and
Crsigis thought that inveterate usage, on some points,
eisfekt sup Port the proceedings ; and Lord Reston,
who was, called in from the Outer' 510 w.., concurred
with them. The Court, therefore, before answer,
that is, beforitleciding whether the slle4atiosts made
by the Magistrates as to usage, were relevant or not.
.allowed them to give in a coadesreutlence of what
they can offer to prone. But whether they shell
seutsre to offer's proof which the Court will hold
relevant, or whether, supposing them to fist( an
offer of proof which may be thought broad enough,
they will succeed In establishing their allegations, is
yet in dubio.

Frees. comps re tive etatement of the Royel Boroughs'
of Scotland, which have within the last sit months
opowly espoused the cause of Reform, and voted re-
solutions, condemning the practice of srlf-election,
with the total population of each, according to the
(*otos of Hill, and of the Royal Boroughs which
have unt hitherto moved In the cease of Reform, it
appears, that of the silty-sin Scottish Royal Bergh*,
twenty-eight, or nearly one half of the total number,
have already voted resolutions in fevoer of Reform.
And it else appears, that the population of those
Boren; who have taken decided measures fir pro-
coriog the abolition of the practice of eelf-electinst, is
to the popelatiom of those who have not yet cc-
pressed themselves on the eobject, hourly as TOUR In
' one. What more decisive proof coo either her/igen,
or required, of the general feeling on this momentous
question ? Of all the Royal Burghs who have a prt-
potation of s,ooosCampbetton, Brerbitt, Forfar, and
Stirling, are thd* only who have thus lout delayed
espnessing their conviction of the necessity of It..
form•in their Municipal constitution, and of •the pro-
priety of the Magistrates being rendered really amen.
able to those whose properly and interests they are
eqapowered to manage.
- We (the Scotsman) have classed Cow,
Linlith-
gow, &c. with those Burghs who have not hitherto
moved, though we know they are on the eve of do.,
ing so. We feel mach pleasure its having to state,
, that the Magistrates of Linlithgow will cordially go
along with the inhabitants in an application for a
more liberal set ; and a motion to the same effect hat,
we understand, been actually made In the Town-
Council of Cep,. We may, therefore, add Linlith-
gow and Caper to the former list of Burghs, and it
will then appear, that the total population Of those
Bergh* which have already voted resolutions in fa•.
toot of Reform, amounts to nearly 400.000, and the
total population of those who have remained silent,
and • etipressed no opinion at all, lavabo.' 94,000.
Hetes his certain, notwithstanding any assertions
to tbe.gpalrary, that rova-o:torqs of the Ilargesses
of &Wand an decidedly in favour of the abolition
of the practice of self election. And if they only
continue to act with the same moderation and firm-
ness they have hitherto displayed, they mist ulti-
mately he successful in effecting the grand object they
herein view. Prejudice, ignorance,.and selfishness,
may retard the accomplishment of that Reform for
which they contend ; but if they remain united,' and
if they will not suffer themselves to be hoodwinked
and deceived by any delusive proposal for subjecting
the accounts of the Magistracy to an audit, their
cause, which Is that of troth, justice, and freedom,
most le the cud triumph over every corrupt obstacle.

It appears from papers, laid before the Rouse of
Commons, that 595 Memorialists, British, or under
British protection, have made claims upon the French
Government, under the Convention of Nnernaber,
1815. The compensations they repaire amount to
neatly 20 millions of francs. The whole claims of
subjects of the Allies, if converted into French'
Stock, at the price stipulated by the Convention,
would amount to about ID French millious and t►ree
quarte►s of annuities. The ligoidation of those has,
at present, gone as far as two French millions and a
quarter.
Nothing can more forcibly prove the shocking
ease which became a Subject of merrieseet to Mr.
CANNING, then the letter 'to Mr. WALTNII, GoVera
nor of Surrey Jail, Southwark, from Wst. OGDEN,

It has been attempted to represent this contest as
simply between the Earl of Thanet slid the Karl of

Oa the contrary, it bat been stetild on his Lordship's
aethority, that be bits never done any Obehut to keep
up a family interest in the county, and that be woeld
not heir of any member of his family being broeght
forward as a candidate. This disavowal is creditable
to his Lordship, and is consistent with the eedeviat•

of Mr. Fez. It is no wonder that the Lowther par-
