I"up 10 year ago the British efforts were unsuc-
cessfp he denied that the mortality Of the British
vessels IN the service was more than three four
per cent he hoped much from the recent arrange
menls with France. Sir RoBRRr PEEL . was ready
: to concede that the Government had hitherto not
been successful in abolishing the sayetrade, and
that "evils TO considerable extent arose from its
exertions he regretted the loss Of valuable lives
and the great expenditure Of money, but he be-
ieved that in the last year or two not more than
thirty thousand thirty-ive thousand slaves were
introduced into Brazil and Cuba; and he trusted
: that the cooperation of France, the United States
and Portugal would enable Great Britain to
achieve the purpose Viscount HowIcK de-
clared that he had not 8 the smallest possible faith
in the new or the old system" He added:
Our interference in one material way aggravated the evil
Tor generated in the minds of the States with whom we in
terfeed spirit not unnaturlly either of resentment at what
they considered our meddng in what does concern
Indeed he could not but think that the foreign Governments

uence and good hunor, considering the way in which we
harassed them at every turn, in traffic which they regarded

OF the French and English officers agreeing well and
their differing too much The best mode Of putting down the
slave trade had been pointed out by his honorable friend
would be the extension of commercial relations with the
African coast which result the French squadron would

j enclose for you report (quite Insufficient Of
what was pronounced in the Chamber of Deputies
on the 9th instant, on the submission Of the APP
preparation bill for the new treaty of slave-trade
suppression. The discussion is adequately report
ed in the Monifeur of the 2sth instant. Mr. Cur
zoT creates " a necessity Of naval Matters I" ne
cessiy OF the police Of the SEAS tantamuunt to
right under the law OF nations, and maintains that
what the French Chambers have declared to be
piracy France may deal with universally as SUCH
The Constitutional (organ of Mr.. THERs) speaks
thus:
Frightened at the gravity Of the question, the Centres
manifested dislike to all discussion M Denis and M Maui
gum were greeted with Of Impotence II seemed
as they afraid Of learning that the treaty bad
they were determined to vote it the majority preferred
examining it. However, M Dupin demanded if article eight
did not contain the germ under another name right
search which France had determined have abolished The
reply OF the Minister of Foreign Affairs did disspate
doubt appeared evident to all that the principle adopted
was the English and the American and the Chamber
did not allow itself to be moved by caprap period Of
Guizo at the end about generous passions One ought
aonshed that this cosmopoe passion OF humanity should
De applied to the western coast Of Africa aonc and that the
eastern coast should be neglected The sentiments which
acted on the assembly determination the bill
and dstrus of the treaty All discussions therefore, became
useless and misplaced shall have once
Judge OF this treaty by its consequences What
at present Is that coupled with the yielding of Ministry the
affair Of Texas may separate from the United States
the advantage Of England Let render thanks NJ Du-
pin for having spoken favor of the liberty Of
the sea-"
The editor of the Steele, Deputy, gave us yes
terday an intelligent column and half on the
treaty. He taxes it with having dangerously multi
piled points of contact between the French and
English squadrons; stipulated unequally for the
two, in favor of the latter and sacrificed or endan
gered directly or implicitly the old principle of the
freedom of the seas These topics are well I'M
folded. He proceeds /" France has made no change
: for the secondary nations bound to her by visit
conventions for the repression Of the slave-trade
: She has extricaed herself from her similar con-
: ventions with Great Britain; they remain under
: both British and French law of search. That
right Of visit which we proclaimed to be-for our
selves-odious, intolerable, destructive of our in
dependence and trade, is to be exercised STILL even
by us, on other nations The eighth article is am
blguous al least; the instructions to which il refers
rather enlarge than restrict the Of examna-
tion. Enlarging piracy is facilitating British abuse
: of the verification of the flag. Many years ago
: the Duke of BRooLIE himself declared that the
international law OF piracy is one which no par
: ticular Government Governments have right
: to create or annul, amplify or curail."
In order 10 countervail and remedy the strike
(which mentioned to you in my last letter. of four
or five thousand journeymen carpenters, the French
Ministry resorted TO measure which must seem
more extraordinary to you than does to old Paris
ians The carpenters among the soldiery of the
garrson-where all trades are to be found-were
sent to work in place Of the journeymen, for the
masters or undertakers most need uninterrupted
progress. The Radical prints clanored at once
against the measure, unlawful unfair, uncon-
sttutional lnterpositon Of the Government between
the masters and operatives in question Of wages
as tending to breed dissenson and anmosity between
the journeymen and the soldiery-as an illegal, in
congruous employment Of the latter and precedent
under which any or every description Of mechanics
might be supplanted by the army, and so forth In
the Chamber Of Deputies, on Friday these consi-
derations were urged by LEDRr-R oLLIN, leader of
the Extreme Left strong excitement ensued ; he
was yociierously charged by the Conservatives with
meaning to set the operatives against the troops.
The Ministers said
1.-THE carpenters in abandoning their business had not only
stopped the works entrusted themselves great variety
OF other works which employed many thousands Of con-
nected with building in general The Government could not
permit so many unofendng suffer by the act Of one
trade and therefore, in order remedy the matter far
lay IN It's power, It made of military wokmen Hear,
near The moment the civil workmen returned 10 their
business, the military wokmen should withdraw. Hear
and the men, he had to reply that the rate Of wages was
question in which prudent Government ever inerfered
