THE NEGOTIATION WITH EsGLASD.-A letter from
Washington, in the New York Commercial Adver-
tiscr, "fom distinguished source" says "there are
rumors of warm debates between MIR. Webster and the
British Minister, said to be on the African BUSINESS
hui nothing is known" The writer confirms the ri.
mors afloat respecting a communication from the Sc
cretary of State the Governor of Maine advising
call of the Legislature of that State, in connection
with The Boundary question that the call is made
that these States may send Commissioners to confer
with the Government, and see if compromise of the
question cannot be agreed TO.
The English Minister says the writer "goes to the
Department of State, unattended by his Secretaries
every day. This looks if the parties had not yet
got TO the point of protocols, of putting any thing
in writing. Lord Ashburtons demeanor is good, and
he is quite well received. Mr.. Webster looks grave,
and little re-worn, and is of course silent My
own inference is that he thinks there grounds 70
enl anxiety, and yet for sober hope as TO the re

INSPECTION LAw.-The Augusta Constitntionalist,
in noticing the operation OF the "lnspecon Law in
Virginia and South Carolina, gives the following des-
crpon of the act which is in force in Georgia on
the same subject:
At the last session of the Legislature of Georgia. an
passed the better 10 and protect the ct
Gems of The State in the possession ofther slaves The
preamble Of the states, that 'whereas much injury
has resulted the people of Georgia. consequence
of the abduction and unauthorized transportation of
their slaves, by vessels sailing 10 ports without the IL
mts of Georgia; and whereas, it is the duty of the &C.
neral Assembly to guard against such injury in the
most peaceable and constitutional manner Tor remedy
whereof be it enacted" &c. The first section of this
act declares that il is TO take effect from and after the
lst OF January 1872 that it has been in force
since that time, and have doubt that il has been
rgidly enforced. By the frs, section all owners or
agents Of vessels sailing from any ports within the Ii
mts Of Georgia. 10 any other port not within the limits
of the State are required give bond and security in
the sum Of one thousand dollars that slave shall be
abducted from the State &c.
The I'd section provides that regular traders may give
bond and security annually, instead giving such bond
al every departure Of such vessel
The Sd section q yes the form of the bond
The 4th and 9th sections provide for the manner OF
prosecuting the bond, when the law is violated
The 9th section provides for refusal to comply with
the acquisitions of the act.
The 9Th section declares that the law shall not affect
steamboats, or small crafts owned in adjoining slave
States and Florida.
And the 9Th section declares that in slaves
found concealed board OF vessels without The know
ledge Of the maser and such slaves returned with
out unnecessary delay to the owners, then the bond
shall not be forfeited.
