Washington, April 90.
Among the papers transmitted to the Senate
to day from the President. on the subject Of At
! rican Slavery and African Coolie Laborers, is
one from Mr.. Mason, our Minister to France,
| dated February 9th, in which he relates con-
versation with Count Walewski.
Mr.. Mason enquired whether there was any
truth in the statement that French vessels
| frcighted with African emigrants would BE- re-
| garded by British cruizers as engaged in the
| African Slave Trade.
Count w. replied no, and that the British
would not object to the French scheme while
the wante of the British colonies were being
| supplied by the Coolie trade.
There is also a letter from Secretary Cass to
Lord Napier, dated 10th April, in which the
farmer says that the joint blockade Of the Coast
| Of Africa has been pursued some years, and the
benefit it has produced bears no reasonable
| proposition.
He regrets to observe the expenditure Of life
way Of proceeding, without dangers and diff
cuties which beset blockade, and which will
succeed if adopted and persevered in and that
is to close the slave mart Of the world, rather
the island Of Cubs, which is now almost the
| only region in which the slave dealers find
| market.
In reply to Lord Napier's remark about the
habit Of vessels on the coast of Africa hosting
the American flag as protection against the
British cruisers, this precaution does not pro-
tect the SLAYER from visit, but exonerates her
from search.
Gen. Cass says the United States denies the
right Of the cruisers Of any other power what
ever, to enter their vessels by force in time of
peace, TO decide the broad question whether the
vessels are frieghted according to law claimed
BY England, and to send them in at pleasure for
trial, cannot be submitted to BY any independ-
ent nation without injury and dishonor. In
conclusion, Mr.. Cass is instructed by the Presi-
dent to inform Lord Napier that, while he, the
