coast of the socous decoration Of the American Dag in

Napier informs me was used by General Cass when he
heard those reports, altogether independent Oh any COM

subject cannot refrain from expressing my satisfaction
another change which has taken place In reference 70
the question OF the slave trade. Your lordshps are
well aware of the complaints which have lately been
made in consequence OF the adoption OF the trenen
scheme negro emigration to the French colonies and
you cannot have failed 10 learn with satisfaction that
the French government has within the last fortnight

any other quarter. (aear, hear You nave also peen

Throne negotiations wltn the 60

arriving agreement by which the entlre aooton
of that system of negro slavery might be accomphed-

labor from the East Indies. (iear, hesr.) Nothing am

~ Earl Of CLARESDoN-I am glad uny noble friend has
been afforded the opportunity Of explaining to the House
the which he has taken IN reference to this impor
ant subject and also OF setting right public opinion with
respect 10 certain concessions which he Is supposed n
have made. Tho community at large have no means Of
acquiring information upon such transactions except
through the medium Of the press the papers which
have been laid before Congress; to of which--the
despatch of Mr. Dallas, which alluded to by noble
friend behini me, and ich riast say is of the most
graphic a&d Interesting documents ersr read IN my life

Of 'the Interior as is rarely given. laugh) 1t des
cribes how much my noble friend opposite talked; how
raton which he expressed for the despatch of General
Cass. But it would seem that when my noble friend
asked Mr. Dallas 20 report TO his government the
which taken place. the reply was that
muifarious that II was completely OF his
power to comply with the request. Mr. Dallas however,
it seems, suggested that my noble friend should himself
undertake the Office OF preparing minute OF the
ssrion and accordingly the noble earl went to his desk
and with the utmost readiness wrote down that minute Of
all that passed Of which lordshps have heard, and
which is certainly most important document, binding as
