The African Slaue Trade.

The Washington correspondent OF the Phla-
delpha American makes the following statement:
From private intelligence which reached here by the
last steamer it is ascertalned that the French Govern
ment has announced to Great Britain its intention OF
withdrawing from the treaty stpulatons OF lo43. by
which it is required to maintain fleet OF tWenty-sx
sail the Coast OF Africa to aid in preventing the slave
trade. The treaty in question was binding tor five
years, and expires in May next, at which time either
party has the option OF retiring from the compact
The really important fact, here mentioned as
having been learned through private intelligence
is publicly stated in the january number OF the
Westminster Review, in an exceedingly interest
ing article on the African Coast Blockade. 1t is
conclnsively proved in that article, that the only
result of the blockade has been to increase an
hundred fold the horrors of the slave trade, and
not to diminish the number Of slaves procured
from Africa. Evidence is given OF the nature OF
the much-talked of "middle passage" which pre-
sents human nature in an aspect more shocking
than the maginatl II can conceive. 1t appears
that the slaves are generally packed close togeth-
er, in three tiers occupying vertical space OF lit
lie more than six feet There they lie on their
sides, in the most horrible filth, during the whole
passage, receiving barely food and water enough to
preserve the Flldi pllHCiPie III Lhee-loulliS vi TIC
number; for an average of twenty-five per cent
die. and the remainder are reduced to skeletons
when they reach the coast of Brazil or Cuba
The fends. who conduct the traffic. reap enor-
nous profits from their ventures, and readily I'M
dertake the slight risk incurred by the presence
of British. French and American vessels of war
on the African coast That risk, however, it is
which causes them to crowd as many slaves as
possible into vessel, and to transport them in the
terrible fashion TO which we have alluded.
We are fully convinced that the whole attempt
10 prevent the prosecution of the slave trade bya
armed blockade is proved to be a most mistaken
philanthropy, and we hope our Government, like
that of France, will withdraw from the existing
engagement with Great Britain. We do not see
that anything but the occupation of the coast by
the colonies from the United States promises to
promote the benefcent object which the three
nations have had in view.

The New York Tribune, which permits its
correspondents to denounce Mr.. Webster's
speech as "a vile trucking to slavery" and has
itself condemned it in no very gentle terms, seems
nevertheless to falter little in its mad support of
measures which would rend the Union in twain,
and crimson its fields and rivers with blood In
publishing Mr.. Stewards speech, the editor uses
this rather remarkable language:
eve have already and repeatedly said that we were
adverse any concession to the mistaken sense OF
dignity and perversion of the idea of equality on the
part fthe Slaveholding States, which should not in
volve render probable the Extension OF Human Sa-
very. We would even risk something to rescue New
Mexico fully and unquestionaby from the peril which
now overwhems her from the unfounded but tormida-
bly, backed claims of Texas absorb and enslave the
greater portion of her soil and nnetenths OF her popu
laton. Tito concede something to Southern pride for
the sake ofefecting this rescue be deemed Compro-
| mise then we are for Compromise. We would sur
render for this the Wimot Proviso name, if we
reasonably that Extension of Slavery would re-
suit from that concession. In other words will
concede anything, five clearly that thereby
increase the OF Freedom, nothing that shall
to increase the area of Slavery We have no doubt
Gov. Seward would do likewise, whether he would
would not agree with US that such adjustment
have indicated would have the effect anticipate
There is no difference of principle between u.s."

FRANCE.

The particular occasion of the apprehended
disturbance in France, is explained in the follow
ing statement from the National Intelligencer's
London correspondence:
The French Government has taken very decisive
stepin the publication of decree which places the
whole of France under sort OF military Surre'ance
induced by apprehension that the Socialists VIII try
new manifestation on the 24th nsant-the second an
nversery of the Revolution. This regime de saore is
not by anymeans agreeable nor is 1t by any means
consistent with constitutional liberty but there are very
few who would not prefer to the horrors OF anarchy
or the RIGHTEOUSNESS of mob. Gen. Changarn1er Is
said to have declared his wish to be considered as
candidate for the Presidency at the end OF the present
term.
The arbitrary decree of the Government pro-
duced considerable excitement in the Assembly,
as will be seen from the following:
In the Assembly, on the 10th February, M. Pascal
Duprat put some questions to the Ministry the sub
ec of the recent changes made, by decree signed by
the President Of the republic, in the military division of
France. In the course OF his speech M. Duprat COM
mened with great severity on the conduct OF the Gov
ernment and endeavored to prove that all his acts
at present directed to object namely the changing
of the present form Of Government and the establish
ment OF an empire. General d'Hautpoul justified the
measure the ground that the country was threatened
with instruction the part of the Socialists and de-
MED that the unconstitutional. After a
short but stormy discussion, during which General
dHautpoul told Socialists that the Government was pre-
pared to meet them, the Assembly passed to the order
OF the day, by majority of 437 to 1873 votes.
