FROM Ft~*.A.*t‘cr..——=Olii‘ regular tiles ofPtiris
papers to =.\1art:li 2‘: , inclusive, (the latest
bi'ouglit,) reached its yesterday by the Lewis.
They contain nothing new. The Havre let-
lt-!l‘S of the Elrtth, state that there had been no
change in the. niarltet since the sailing ofthe
C£ltlllluS on the l5th, and that ttierca_iitile ope-
rations continued to be founded upon the full
beiieftliat war would take place. ‘We learn
that nothing had been lieartl at Havre ofa
contetiipiatcti change in the French Ministry,
(as intimated in the London papers,)nor were
any other expectations entertained than that
the troops sent against Spain, would immedi-
ately comnience hostilities. The people in
the cotnnierciul towtis were generally opposed
to the \Var, but they did not conceive that
the gt)V8l'l1ll'tCl‘lt could recede from its present
course witliont disgrace. The l'elIIl.tl'l{S ofMr.
Canning, in’ the House of Commons, hatl in-
dticcd an expectation that England would not
interfere in the Contestfor the present. »

‘ it is reported here, that another Turltisli
army of70,000 ineti will enter the Morea, to
subdue the Greeks. I tliitik it very possible
they meet the sattie fate as the last——be en-
ilI't‘.l_)' destroyed. The Greeks have captured
Napoli tli Roniatiia, the most important for-
tress iii the Morea, by starvatioti. About»700
of-tlte garrison were brought here by an Eng-
lish frigate—the most tiiiserable wretelies I
ever beheld. The Greeks committed no out-
rages on the captives, and even sent thetn into
Asia tVIinor by their own vessels.
‘ In Cantii.i,snccess attctids the Greek cause.

‘ it is said tlt'eatll'ttl misery prevails among
the Greeks in the Morea, for watit of provis-
ions; bttt they appear detertiiitied to persevere
in establisliiug their Independence to the last
extremity. Madame Robalitia, the Greek lie-
roitie, comtiiatided one oftltgGreelt coiutnns,
which stormed one of the fortresses of Napo-
li di Roniania. She is sa.d to have lost two

mense property, acquired by couuiterce, i- etii-
barlted in the cause of her cotttitry. Site is

‘ The Turks are btiilditig 1:}. more frigatcs,

State of Ireland.-—-Tlie provisional news
Wllicll reached us by the post to day, is posi-
tively friglttfttl. There was a regular b:ittle
between the Charlev_ille police and instirgent
peasantry, on Tuesday last. On 'I‘liur-day
several fttrtn—lionses on the lands of Lord Cork
were burnt to the ground. A quantity of hay
on the Globe lands of the Dean of Litiiericlt
and the Rev. Mr. Bevan, was bnrtieti on Fri-
day: and the iiougliing ofcattle in all parts of
the South is now a cotiitnon pastime. Above
100 prisoners are to be tried for tnnrder only,
at the present Assizes! about 20 for rape ! and
several for abduction. At the Clonniel Assiz-
es alone, there are to be tried £16 for tnttrder,
7 for rape, and 22 for the forcibly ctii'ryiti9; oil‘

The Slave Trqdc.—Tbis iiiliutiiati traflic is
still very far frotii being abolished. In little
more titan 6 tnontlis no less than 56 vessels,
btalongitig principally to the French, Spanish,
and Portuguese, were boarded or detained by
his tnajt=sty’s cruisers off the coast of Africa._
Nearly the whole of these vessels either had
slaves on boarti,or such prep.trattotis tirade for
receiving them, as left no doubt oftiieir object.
I~‘ron'i the various reports ofthe officers em-
pit)_i’H(l on the station, we select the case of
the Porttigtiese schooner San Jose Hallacca.
‘ This schooner, or rather scliooner-boat, did
tiotttieasurc seven tons burt_hen ; was only
:18 feetlotig; and the space over the water
easlts, in which the miserable slaves were stow-
ed, in irons, was barely seventeen inches in
height.’ "From the infortiiution obtained by
Lieut. Hagan iii the river Caiabar, anti cor-
roboratetl by the evidence taiten in this colo-
ny, it appears that thirty ncgroes were put on,
board this boat in the Caiabar; that they were“
at sea ttearly two months witltout being able
abar with the loss often negrocs literally star'-
ved and crushed to detitli. It was at this‘.pe- _
riod the-boats of the Tbistleniade the sieztire,
and rescued the remaining 20 froin the grasp
of Duke Eplirain, in whose possession they
then were. The state to wliicii these poor
creatures were reduced when received on-
board the‘ Thistle, Lieut. Hagaii describes as
tiiost dreadful; the action ofthe irons on their
a_rtns and ancles, and the sores produced by
the small caslts oti which they were stored,atl—
tied to their extreme state ofeuiaciation anti
ticbility, presented altogetlier such a spectacle
ofliorror and sull'ct'ing- iiuniauity as that oili-
cer, long as he hatl been o'ti this coast, never
before witnessed. Six or eight of these vic-
tims of slave-dealing cttpitiity died on board
the Thistle, on the passage to this port; the
reniaintlcr, were, of course, placed in the hos-
pitals, where, we niiderstatid, tiiey are in a‘ fair
way ofrecovery.’ Surely, no efforts‘ can be
too great for the suppression oftliis abomina-
ble tratle. It is dreadful to find that the heart
can be so scared and callous, as to be capable
of perpetrating such cruelties.—-—Londonpa.-
CoLUmst.t. We have reztson to believe
that a measure which the country at large, and
more particularly the cotnmercial part ofit,
has long taken a deep interest in, and which
is called ft 1' upon every principle ofpublic_jus-
tire and political wisdom, is about very short-
ly to‘ receive its acconiplisiimciit; we allude’
to the recognition by the British Government
ofthe State of Columbia, and such other of
the South Aniericati States as have actually
acliieved their independeiice. Exclusive of
other demonstrations which have come to ottr
knowledge, Mr. Canning, when he sent Mr.
Bacltiiouse, his private Secretary, to Liver-
pool on arecent occasion, directed him to state
to the niercliauts there that he hoped shortly
to have an agreeable communication to make
to Parliament on the subject ofSoutli Atncr-
ican atfairs. It is, indeed, high time that this
act of publicjustice was perforiiied. Colum-
bia is in the twelfth year of her independence.
She has her Congress and her Constitution in
full and complete authority. Another free-
and powerful Government, not remarkable for
any want of circttmspection in its measures,
has, after sending its owti Commissioners to
inspect on the spot the actual contlit-ion oftlte
all‘-airs ofColunibia, conceded to it the tribute
of recognitioti,atitl has proclaimed to the world
the grounds on which this solemn public act.
has been called for. VVe have also heard with
considerable satisfactioti, that Spain has with-
drawn the opposition she —has hitherto urged .
to this uieasure.
Spain, engagctl iterselfin vindicating her owti
riglit to a free constittttioti, framed by the
sovereign will ofthe nation, cannot with ci-
tiier grace or consistency refuse to recognize
the same right in otliers.—Lond..’l1orn.Citron.
