search. He thought England had ex .rcised a
wise discretion in giving up that right, and he
believed that a code of instructions which had
been agreed to by England and France, and
had been submitted to the United States fol
approval, would be found to work satisfactorily
in REFRESHING the slave trade.
The Earl of Clarendon said the right OF
search was a belligerent right, and could not be
properly exercised in time of peace. He trust
ed that the new code of instructions would
prove satisfactory; but unless they were adopt
ed by all the great maritime Powers there
would always be disputes and inconvenience.

AUSTRIA.
The Oesterreische Correspondent contains an
official article in which it is admitted that the
speech made by the Emperor Napoleon at the
opening of the Legislative Assembly is calcu-
lated to dissipate the apprehensions of war
which have recently been entertained in Eu-
rope, more particularly if it is followed by a
cessation of the ornaments which have been
going forward in France. The article inti-l
mates that Austria is quite willing to Il take as a
basis for diplomatic discussions, on her tenn
poriry occupation of Central Italy, whatever
may be agreed on between the two Western
Powers, and has no doubt that matters will
thus be brought to a successful result.
