In the Hoess Of Commons, on the 10th inst :.
Yisrouht Goderich asksd the Under Seeretsr~
OF State for Foreign Affairs whether there va 5
any truth in the statement alleged to have been
made BY Mr.. Mason, United States Minister to
France, that there had been some communica-
tion between the governments Of England and
France upon the subject Of the expectation OF
negroes from the west course Of Africa, In the
course of which her Msiesty's government
have Informed Count Walewski that they
would not object to the French scheme for that
purpose while the wants Of the British colonies
are being supplied by the eooiis trade.
Mr.. Fitzgerald was understood to say that
the attention Of her Msiesty's government had
been called to the statement referred to by the
noble lord, and in answer to bis question he
could only say that some great nisapprehen-
sion as to the real facts must exist on the part
Of Mr.. Mason II was true that there had
| been communications between her Msjesty's
government and that of France with regard to
the free emigration scheme, expressing on
the part OF her Msjesty's government regret

referred to by the statement attributed to Mr..
Mason, were known to her Msjesiy's govern

Mr.. Fitzgerald, in reply to a question By

government had no reason to suppose that this

REVOLT or BOARD ONE OF TEE EkIGRAsT SHIPS
Foa the London Tinss, June Ill
Lord Goderich, last evening, asked the Un
} der Secretary Of STATE for Foreign Affair
whether there was any truth in the statemen
that the British government had given its sane
tion to the French scheme for the expectation
Of negroes fro-n the west coast Of Affica
!; The answer Of Mr.. Fitzgerald was plain an
precise. He said that the Communications o
this country were expressions or regret thz
such q scheme had been originated and per
sisted In, and that the British government ha
felt 1t their duty to point out strongly their oh
iections to it. This statement comes oppor
tnnely at present. II can no longer be doubtel
that the project which has received the sppro
val and support e the French government, an
which is now being carried out BY French spec
ulsfors, is simply the slave trade disguise
unde. the name Of industrial emigration. A
, il is becoming obvious that for the protection
! of the black race from forcible abduction an
. servitude we must trust to the moral sense @
France, America, and other countries posses
sIng territory between or near the Tropics, "
give to the world a narrative which has reache
} us and whi>b demonstrates clearly the natur
OF the proceeding which the French govern
: ment has sanctioned. We trust that whe
osee nich facts are known the task OF thoe
: who remcnstrste against the scheme viii be n
longer difficult We -csnnot claim to prever
: other nations embarking ln the slave trade, bU
it may be allowed to us to expose any PraS
tices akin to il which are carried on under
sPecious aame-a name which perhaps quiei
the consciences Of many who have good fee
ing enough to shrink from evil, but not energ
enough to track It 10 it's hsun.s and destroy
, there.
The Ethiope, Captain Croft, steamer b

arrived at Monrovia, the capital Of the settle

captain, on landing, was informed by el

collecting " em.grants /" under the new system
