The Journal DIES Debas remarks that Sir Robert
PeePs financial plan haswith Justice conciliated the

The Courier Francois staies on the faith of let
ter from Toulon, that whilst vessels engaged in con-
veying slaves across the Atlantic are carefully
watched, the same trade is being carried on in the
Mediterranean with impunity-that slave markets
held in the regencies of Morocco and Tripoli
towards the end of March, and that ships under the
Greek and Ottoman flag transport a number of slaves
to the Levant. The European powers have, never
theess, consular agents at all these ports, and the
law by which the Greek government fOrbids any
traffic in slaves, auhorses their agents prevent
them from being shipped on board Greek ships.
PARIS, April 2s.-Nothing has transpired relative
to the motive OF the frequent conferences which
took place last week between the Ambassadors OF
the great powers and M Guizot, beyond the fact.
that they related in great degree to the affairs OF
Syria. 1t is now stated IN a quarter upon which
most cordial understanding exists on this subject
all the assertions to the contrary contained in the
former papers utterly untounded. General Cas-,
the American Ambassador, has had conferences
within the last few days with NJ. Guizot and Lord
Cowley, and rumor says they have related to the
question OF the right OF search I; but do not see
what powers General Cass can have to interfere in
this question, as hitherto all negotiations with the
United States on the subject have gone through the
Foreign office at London.

who were TO be conveyed to the British colonies as
aborers or emigrants This vessel sailed from Gam

Roads of Goree on the 18th ofMarch, 1872 on the
18th took my departure for Marseilles, and reached
this harbor on the Gath Of April, without encounter
ing in the course OF my navigation any other extra
ordinary circumstance"
The Paris papers of course make this statement of
Captain Cousou the text for bitter asperson Bri-
tsh philanthropy towards the black population
They in ii direct contradiction to the assertion
of M. Guizot, that the commander of the French
vessel Senegambe had become guilty Of breach of
the law by entering an English harbor, even though
she proceeding to take on board cargo of free
blacks, for the use of the French government, and
with its authorization. The "Siecle" observes that
had the Senegambie instead of touching at ST. Ma
rvs on her way to the slave coast put into the har
Dor with her cargo of blacks on board, and declar
ed that they were free blacks engaged for fourteen
years, as pioneers by the French government, then
