For sale in this city by J. Shiuington.
This work, like the Scalp Hunters" L" Ri
fe Rangers" and other tales of this author
have much of the true Cooper favor, although
the gallant Captain cannot well be said to be
an imitator of that novelist. In the "War
Trail we are taken upon Mexican soil. The
description Of Mexican scenery is remarkably
vivid and the minute truthfulness with which
the fora and the fauna of that country are de-
pictei, gives a wonderful rraisSmBiancs to the
otherwise most improbable narrative. The love
making in the story is simply detestable; but
OF this we do not complain. Itwould be strange
indeed, If an author so thoroughly Mt home in
forest and field, was equally so in the boudoir
We commend the :: War Trail' to our readers
as work they will not be apt to 60 to sleep
over.

THE SLAVE TRADE IN PARLIAMENr.-Iord
Broughain, recently in the House of Lords made
some Inquiries of the Earl of Clarendon In refer
ence to certain rumors. 1t was understood he
said, that body OF West India planters had APP
preached the noble ViscOunt at the head of the
government, and had urged him to facilitate the
importation into our colonies of free negroes from
the Coast OF Africa. 1t was also understood that
measures OF the same sort Were contemplated by
the colonial interests of France and Spain, and
1t was even stated that the Emperor Napoleon
had given permission to a house at MarseiIes TO
lit ont an expedition for importing twenty thou
sand free negroes, as they were called into the
French colonies. One vessel. IL was alleged had
already sailed to Quidah, on the Coast Of Africa
well known as slave trading pOrt-'he very
port, indeed, from which the King of Dahomey
formerly carried on the Internal traffic His lcrd-
ship hardly had confidence in these rumors, but
still his adherence of anything looking towards
revival of the traffic in slaves had induced him
to breach the subject. The Earl of Clarendon
stated that he was not in possession of intelli-
gance to enable him to reply He did not know
the nature of the West Indian proposals, but he
had confidence that Lord Pamerston would never
sanction such as had been intimated The gov
eminent had no information of the alleged Mar
settles ship.
