Mr.. +. Buxton, on the 18th MGy, dill
yered long and forcible speech in he
British House of Commons on the Abolition
of Slavery in The British West Indici.--
The National Gazette remarks the foIbw-
ing passage Of this speech
E" Slavery has burnt down to the socket
has completely melted in the State of
New York. The same has been the case
in New Jersey, PhiiadetDhia and others of
the American States. The change 10 all
tirose States has been gradual" &c.

exist and had he been so, would it have
been marvellous ON a spot, and in course
where so much check, deceit aud fraud
abound No: his only fault, his only
crime, was that of being Radical Refor-

Basque Roads no man, in moment, as
1t were, 10 known, as he was, to be present
ed with the Red Ribbon, the appcndage of
the order of the Bath TO go 10 court on
the mnediate receipt of this dignity to
receive diamond hited sword from the
