Tito world if full of bypociisies; but lite greatest now vxtant upon the distinguished arena of the wot Id, is the sensitiveness of Knglaird attd Franco to llto coiilinuatico of llto African Slavo Trade in Cuba and Brazil. Inquiries and responses have just 1 boon gravely put fortli in llto British Parliament, showing 1)10 philanthropic vigilance of the British pooplo upon this subject. In tho course of the debate, however, Mr. Labouchcro stated "that, during tho last nine years, 30,000 persons had emigrated to tho tropical Colonics of Great Britain." Who theso poisons are, and froiu whence they came, Mr. Labouchero does not mention. They consist of Coolies and negroes froiu tho East Indies and Africa. Tho pour Coolies hoar glowing pictures of the earthly parad'so in tho West Indies, and aio tricked into a slavery for life under an apprenticeship of eighteen years. Without any such visions to cheat their fancies, the Africans taken 011 the high seas from tho Spanish slavers are taken to Sierra Leone, and from thence shipped to tho British West Undies as emigrants. As they nro all slaves .1 ? . 1.- 1 1 TU /Illicit, UIV9U llUgri'W I.'IKIJ IU I lie 1MMKI* j ago designed for tlietn very uaturnlly. The operation has been so successful that the London Times cannot refrain recommending it as a fair open operation. Discoursing ou the debate in Parliament, it speaks as follows: "Talk to most people about bringing ne groes from Africa to Jamaica or Trinidad, under some system of apprenticeship 01 contract, and they will probably say that :t is only a slave trade under another name, and that the adoption of such a scheme "would destroy all the influence we have acquired, and-carry the world back to the xvortt days of inhumanity and recklessness; <bat oi>oe let the real slave trade have censed forever, and net only the British colonies, but ovcu those American Slates which have, to their credit, abolished slavery altogether, will find it to their advantage to bring over Africans uudor some wise and humane system, wnich will benefit ibe legions on both sides of tho Atlantic." Ilore we of tho Southern States are invited to participate in this new African Slavo Trade. Franco seems to be ?piite ali?o to this new scheme of philanthropy; and Spain, like ourselves, is invited to join in carrying it iuto operation. The lialli more Amoricau says: i.\ir. i i: . i * - *? u hiiuouuccu sumo iiiuu since unu Messrs. Kogis, of Marseille*, Lad made a contract for the transportation of twenty thousand African apprentices to the French colonies. VVc now learn from the Barcelo na Fenix, that the first vessel for this trallie has sailed from Marseilles, provided with sea passports by both the French and English Governments, for the coast of Africa. She lakes out a largo cargo of trinkets of small value, which are to be profitably in vssted in contracting negroes for ten years' service, and conveying tbem to Martinique vuid Guadalupe. The Fenix adds that it is supposed this experiment will he often re { pealed, and finds in it a means of supplying | Giiba and i'orlo liico with additional labor. ' In Connection with this subject, we notice , that the Ecuii Eupaual, (be supposed organ , of Marshal Narvaez, state* that the Government has found the means of supplying these islands with abundant labor, which will soon bo put in operation, without in1'iinging the slavo trade treaties with Eng land. This now stylo will soon break Hp the oh I fashioned slave trade." Now we always did believe that die furor of the 1 trilirth Government tor llio abo i liliun of slavery, and llio suppression of the ; African slave trade, was more political than phi'anliiropical. The fanaticism of certain j religionists was used, with not a littlo of I their cant; but the British statesmen, in : abolisl ing slavery in the West Indies, ex- I peeled material benefits to result (rum it to ! (ho British people. Innocent of the nature ?>f the negro, they supposed that, being free, he would work for himself far more than , lie had woiked for others, and hence, that the tropical productions would be greatly increased, ami llio British commerce would get them at greatly reduced prices. lu a very few years the negro disclosed (lis true characteristics, and the egregious folly of emancipation was exposed. British j statesmen then turned to the Kasl Indies to . rectify their blunder; but bore again they , vero cheeked by nature. After the most cosily experiments, aided by tbo Lest planters from our Cotton Slates, and all the rip pliances of our agricultuie, the climate of (lie Bust Indies proved uusuiled to tbo cotton plant, at least so far uusuitod as to run ?ler competition with our Southern Stales impossible. They now aro determined to I go hack to the old locality, with the old instrumentality, to the West Indies and tho negro to raise the tropical productions. Tho ! emancipated negro will in.t work; but the imported negro, a slave in hisown country, ami ignorant of tho Knglish language, can easily bo made a slave and do tho work of a slave, whilst ho will have no claim for that protection and care which is hi> compensation in acknowledged slavery, lie will bo mercilessly worked down, and then be left t?> staive and die. I ho Loudon rimes is right in tho imputation il supposes 1 might bo uiiulo against tho hypocrisy of 1 I'.ngland, when it says "tho adoption of such t schemo would destroy all tho iufltidttCQ wo / " tiavo acquired, and carry the world back to llio worst days of inhumanity and rockloss- Jjj i less." , We trust, at the approaching Congress, ^ ^ ?teps will betaken to havotho notice given io the Government of Great Itrilnin which j ^ Jur treaty lequires, that tho United Stales j ivithdrawa its cruisers fioin tho coast of Af- acc ricn to prevent tho African slave trade.
