The SLAVE TRADE TREArY.-We announce with
deep regret, on the authority Of communication
received from Paris by express, that the ratification
OF the treaty between the Five Great Pc wers Of Eu
rope, for the suppression of the slave trade which,
a q Dre arr hovo

vernment.
Of The sincerity and good faith with which the
French government concluded this important trea.

proposal originating with France, in conjunction
with Great Britain, and France and Great Britain
equally reJolced In the accession OF the other pow
concurrence OF Europe IN a humane and benevolent
suggestion, hich had emenated from them conioint-

1t is certain indeed, that upon this subject the con-
duct of France, and that Of Great Britain, are in
striking contrast. France, relieved from the neces.
slty OF encouraging the sugar cuture in her colonies
and even adopting, In furtherance of the interests

cane, has never drawn sixpence from her national
purse to relieve the distress Of her slave subjects,
although at very small expense she might have
diffused much happiness in her colonies, with an
increase Of security 10 the favored department Of
her domestic agriculture.
We lament that M Guizot should have thought
himself compelled TO pursue course in respect to
the slave trade convention, which his own intelli-
gent and lofty mind cannot approve. Yet il is
consolation to US 10 learn that he has defeated the
factions which surround him, assured, as we are,
that his attachment TO the cause of truth and night
Is sincere though II may not always be effective
and that the hope OF remaining upon terms of ami.
ty with our Gallo neighbors, would be greatly inn
paired by any diminulion OF his political power

SIR ROBERT PEEL's SCALE has been drawn up
with ore single object, that OF keeping his party
united 1t promises, we regret to say, to be
full, and if not resisted by the public it will be
ried through Parliament. 1t will be efhcacous
against the wings, 10 defeat whom the tories will
starve the people by the way. They do not design
this perhaps al least they say so; what they aim
exclusively Is TO keep themselves in and keep out
Of Sir Robert Peel's wonderful scale.
CREOLE CssE.-Lord Campbell said he should
net have spoken the subject, but that an opinisn
had been attributed to him contrary to that Just
pressed by the lord chief justice which opinion he
mad never given. He was Of opinion that The Ame-
rlcan government had No power to demand that
those men should be given up, and that, il such a
demand were made, there was no pswer by the
municipal law Of England to comply with it.
Lord Can 'pbell is reported TO have gone the Whole
length against remuneration. LIE said:
"With regard 10 the claim for CONDENSATION. as
