EUROPE. FRANCE.-French Slave Trade-The Greeks. By the Paris papers of March 26, it appears that a warm discussion on the slave-trade took place on the preced. ing day in the Chamber of Deputies. The debate arose on petitions from the merchants of Havre and Paris, praying that more severe and more efficacious laws might be adopted against this odious traffic. The petitioners assert, that the slave-trade is carried on under the French flag with increasing activity; that the operation of the existing laws only adds to its barbarity, as three or four hundred negroes are now crammed into a space which would formerly have been allotted to only one-fourth of that number. Hence the deaths are frightfully numerous, and the petitioners calculate that the slaveships throw annually overboard at least 3000 of the unfortunate victims of this horrible traffic. In the report of the committee on this petition, a hope is expressed that the facts are exaggerated, and the measures taken by the Government to repress the slave-trade are enumerated, It is, however, acknowledged, that the existence of such a traffic is a disgrace to a civilized nation; but it is alleged, that making the slave-trade piracy would not be an effectual prevention, because the rigour of penal laws often causes impunity. This argument seems to imply, that the moral guilt of the slave-trade is not so strongly felt in France as in other countries, where no difficulty has been found in the application of the law of piracy. The Committee proposed that the petition should be referred to the President of the Council. The object of the petition was lost sight of in the debate, in consequence of some observations made by General Sebastiani, who said, that a white slave-trade was going on as well as a black, that the French Ministers had allowed Turkish agents to recruit openly for the Pacha of Egypt. M. de Villele, in vindication of the Government, referred to the precautions against the slave-trade enumerated in the report of the committee, and observed, that the Ministers had pushed these precautions as far as was compatible with the freedom of trade. In all the colonies, measures were adopt. ed for seizing slave-ships, and those measures were even extended to ships trading to foreign colonies: for a prosecution is now pending in the Court of Cassation,

against the owners of a ship, for carrying on the slave-trade with a colony not be longing to France. After this defence, he adverted to the charge respecting the Greeks, in contradiction of which he read extracts from a despatch of RearAdmiral Regny, commanding the French squadron in the Levant. The Rear-Admiral stated, that among the transports which accompanied the Turkish fleet which arrived on the 3d of November off Cape Matapan, there were three Tuscan, eight Austrian, seven English, three Sardinian, two Spanish, one Ame. rican, but not one French. In answer to the charge of the treasure of the Egyptian fleet having been conveyed on board of a French ship of war, M. de Villele said, that the officers who lent themselves to that transaction had been dismissed; and that, for permitting it, the commander of the station had been recalled, and Admiral de Regny appoint. ed in his place. With regard to certain vessels building in ports of the Mediter ranean, the Minister observed, that the Government could not refuse an accom. modation of that kind to powers with whom the country was at peace. A few years ago, the Dey of Algiers had built two frigates in French ports. The Pacha of Egypt had also been allowed to build a frigate and a corvette, but he had not been permitted to arm them. It was admitted to be possible that there might be agents in France, who recruited for the Pacha of Egypt; but the Minister main. tained that there was no violation of neu. trality on the part of the Government. Respect for the maintenance of neutrality, he said, was carried so far, as almost to endanger French commerce, on which the Greeks commit piratical depredations. In the midst of this debate, an orator, of the name of Dudon, ventured to assert, that England still carries on the slave-trade. This striking instance of disregard to truth seems to have received no contra. diction, and to have excited no surprise.

SPAIN. Convulsed State of Spain.We have received intelligence from Ma drid, and from several of the principal provinces of Spain. That devoted country seems again on the point of a convulsion, and there is no question, that the presence of the French army alone prevents the revolutionary movements. From Madrid, the accounts are to the 1st inst. The landing of the Constitutional force near

Alicant appears to have produced the deepest feelings. One letter says, “Terror and confusion reign here. The King and Royal Family reside at the palace El Pardo, and their guards now consist entirely of Swiss. The Ministers have demanded of the English Ambassador, in a formal note, explanation respecting the movements of General Mina, who has left England, as report states, to revolutionize Spain. The answer of Mr Lamb was, that he understood he had left England, but his movements or in tentions he knew nothing of. We await farther details with the greatest anxiety." The Curate Merino has declared himself hostile to the present Government, and has put himself at the head of a consider able force, which is said to be enthusias tic in the constitutional cause. Though we have no doubt of the Curate's insurrection, we are rather sceptical as to the account given of his principles, and those of his troops. It is asserted, the constitutional parties are already in possession of the forts of Carthagena, and expect farther reinforcements from the Algerine coast. The Dey of Algiers having de clared war against Spain, will, it is sup posed, afford facilities to the patriots. The commencement of hostilities by Algiers was announced on the 6th, on the authority of the Spanish Consul General at Tunis. Several strong parties of constitutionalists have appeared in the North, and have committed great excesses near Corunna.

The following is an Extract of a Private

Letter.

Cadiz, March 7.

"The Lady Mary Pelham packet sailed this morning for Gibraltar, after having experienced a severe passage of twenty-five days from England to this place; therefore her arrival excited no interest, as we had news from London of a much later date than what she could bring. The cup of bitterness which this ill-fated country is doomed to drink is nearly overflowing. Commerce has fled from her shores, and the interior lies waste and uncultivated, the miserable inhabitants of which are found dead in the fields from inanition. People of all descriptions, both Spaniards and foreigners, are flying from the enormous contributions which are levied upon them, and those who remain must pay, or have their property sequestered. The Algerine corsairs are swarming along the coasts of the Mediterranean, and the intrepid Colombians are intercepting all the coasting vessels on the shores of the Atlantic, so much so, that at this place insurances

cannot be effected at any premium. Fer. dinand seems blind to the best rights and interests of the nation, and is carefully rearing up, in the front of freedom and improvement, Monkish intolerance and superstitious prejudices. I would have written to you respecting the sup posed expedition, which the Spanish Government said sailed from Gibraltar to re-revolutionize Spain; but, as I knew that it had for its object plunder, and nothing more, and perhaps, too, got up by the enemies of freedom, I declined say. ing any thing about the matter. However, it was quite sufficient to cause the tocsin of alarm to be sounded in Spain, and the re-commencement of acts of proscription against every one known to be attached to the liberal cause. In Cadiz, and some neighbouring cities, the local authorities have increased the police, or spy establishment, to the number of 30 in each Borreo, by which means they know, by the joint report of three or four hundred of these gentry, what is done and said every day throughout the town, and in the different coffee-houses. Every one is afraid to communicate his thoughts to his neighbour or friend, lest he should be overheard and betrayed; consequently there is nothing now, in this once gay and flourishing city, but dull monotony, without association, and without business."

A party of Spanish Constitutionalists, about 100 in number, effected a landing in Murcia, about the middle of last month.

They speedily made their way to the mountains; but, if we may credit the French papers, very few joined them, and, having been vigorously pursued by the Royalist volunteers, they are said to have been nearly all taken or destroyed.

PORTUGAL.-Death of the King.A telegraphic dispatch received on Saturday evening, March 18th, announces the death of the King of Portugal. On the 4th instant, his Majesty was attacked with an apoplectic fit, together with epilepsy. On the 5th and 6th, his malady increased to such a degree as to create the greatest alarm for his life. After the crisis of the 6th, his Majesty experienced no new attack till the 9th, when his malady returned with augmented violence, to which the King yielded, and laid down his life on the 10th, at six in the evening. By a deed of the King's, executed a few days before his decease, a regency, headed by one of his daughters, retains possession of the Government till the rightful heir arrive. Who the rightful heir is, the document rather oddly leaves unexplained; but our readers will recolleet, that about a year ago, an arrangement was
