THE FRENCH SLAVE TRADE.

A deputation from The British and Foreign
Anti-Slavery Society recently waited upon Lord
Clarendon, with memorial against the slave
trade opened by the French Government under
the guise of free-labor movement.
Lord Clarendon stated that the Government
was in possession of the fullest information on
the subject of this new system of obtaining
labor-one he did not hesitate to designate as
the slave trade, unmitigated and undisguised
The whole question, however, had been submit
ted to the consideration of the French Govern
ment, which he believed had not foreseen that
the result of attempts to obtain immigrants
from Africa would be the revival of the slave
trade; and he felt sure nothing was further
from the wishes or the thnnGht of the Emperor
VI ue rench than TO reopen this exerraueu
traffic, IN opposition to the policy of the leading
civilized Powers, and to the well-known nation.
al sentiment of this country. The evils could
scarcely be exaggerated that must arise from
the checking of the legitimate commerce which
in many parts of the African coast had totally
superseded the trade in slaves, and in others
was rapidly extinguishing it. This was point
which bore intimately on the commercial inter
ests of this country, and to the Importance of
which the Government was fully alive. The
deputation would be encouraged to hear that the
attempts of The French agent to obtain immi-
grants had been 80 unsuccessful that he lord
Clarendon) thought he might venture to say,
even on this account, the speculation would be
abandoned, at least for the present. and no effort
should be spared by the Government to prevent
the renewal of a traffic between which and the
slave trade there was no appreciable difference.
He assured the deputation of his cordial sym.
pathy with the objects of the Ant-Slavery Soci
ETY., and bis concurrence in the sentiments set
forth in the memorial
