I, M*y. we have received Paris and Mavre dates of 1st June. jr The pepere are barren of political Inter ekt?uncertainty teems to hang over the operations of two great belligerents. We have translated the substance of the politi cal and commercial advices. The most important feature In the aspect of affldrs In Franco, is the discharging of some of the seamen from the naval service, end the probability that there will be no immediate draft of men for the French u -ny, both of which indicate a continuance of the pacific relations of France with other powers,. The Journal dee Dcbati, of 1st June* contains an article dated Bucharest, 6th May* which states, that the plague had made its appearance both at that piece and in the army, and more than twenty men died daily in a regiment cantoned in tho village of Hileschtie, about which a cordon had been formed. Accounts from Odessa of the 8th May, were, that the Tnrka had attack: ed Baltschick nnd Karvana. but whether with disadvantage to the Russian* was not known. Every thing was said to be in the best condition at Varna and SlsepoU. The latter had been very strongly fortified by the Russians, and tne heights whiten sur round it had been strengthened by numer* ous batteries. Several hundred Bulgarians had taken refuge at Odesao from Slsepoli, in consequence of the country being devest ed as far as Adrianoplc, so that the means of subsistence were cut off. The Russian licet was said to be in the bay of 8izepoli. It is stated under date of Vienna* 33d May, that Prince Gustavus of Sweeden, has con sented to exchangehlstitle for that of Prince of Vasa, only on the reserved condition that he shall resume it at will, in virtue of his right by birth. Seat of IVar.?Accounts were constantly received at Vienna of battlea between the Turks and Russians in the neighborhood of Sillstria to the disadvantage of the Russians. One report was that the Turks had des troyed a body of 5000 Russians, including four Generals, and captured the military chests and 13 or 15 cannon. This account is said to be false or at any rate much exag erated, but|it waa admitted that the Russians hid, after a bloody battle near Czernowo dy, in which the loss was great on both sides, retreated and entrcnched them selve*, waiting for reinforcements to enable them to act on the offensive. The Gazette de France of 31st May, says, it appears that the Russians would endeav or to pass the Balkin by marching on Slsc poli, and debarking at Bourgas. They are now concentrating at Silistria and Ruts chuk. Should the Russians pass Chumla which the Turks regard as the barrier of the empire, the war will be terminated, and it is very probable that they will find no other obstacle in the march to Constantino* ile. The same paper states that letters rom Trieste announced the continuance of the blockade oi Prevesa by the Greeks. There were many British ships of war at Corfa end more were expected. The same paper doubts the report that Mlssi longhi had been retaken by the Greeks. The Gasette de France of the 31st May, also contains the report of the committe on finance through their chairman Mr. Berby, on the law of the Budget relating to re ceipts. The speech of Mr. Derby la so able, and displays so intimate an acquain tance with the principles of political econo my that we shall give a translation of part of it at least to-morrow. The Gazette de Frante, of the 30th May has the following:?The Gazette of Elber feldt publishes a letter from Bertin, which ends m these words: 'As to the fears, says the Prussian correspondence, which are expressed of the hostile participation by England in the affairs of the east, the best informed think them groundless. No mea sure yet taken by England indicates a change of policy in regard to Russia, and it is probable that England would take such a resolution only In tne last extremity; that is, if the Russian armies shouldhave already occupied the Plains of Adrianople, and have menaced the capital of the Ottoman Em Cre. Such an event, though not impossible, yet buried in the purposes of Providence, the accomplishment of which it would not be prudent to expeet before the dcvelopemmt of a policy which, according to all appear ances, would bo the signal for a general war in Europe. Besides, It appears to us that England has other motives for weighing carefully the consequences of her move ment. Hanover, that ancient appendage of the royal house ?

It is still rumoured that a treaty i* going forward, with the consent of the Emperor of Austria, for a marriage between the Duke dc Chartrea and the young Queen of Portugal. We know not upon what au thority thia rumor rests, but we understand that it it openly talked of by the perton* in attendance on the young Queen.

Staunton Spectator. MEMORIAL. 7b the honorable Convention of Virginia, > held in Richmond, in October, 1839. Seeing that the people oi this Common- < wealth nave deemed It necessary to reform our existing constitution of government, to supply its defects, and to remove a number ly upon the community?we, the subxeri bcre, inhabitants of Augusta County, can not but congratulate ourselves and the pub lic on tha selection of so many of our highly distinguished citizens for tht performance of these solemn and interesting duties. Dis tinguished as you have liecn for gravity, prudence, ana wisdom, we cheerfully ac cord to you our confidence, in the impor tant and ardous station to which you are called} and trust that you will employ your wisdom and prudence tn that way which will redound most to our common welfare. There have been many topics of reform anticipated and discussed among the people. We do not mean to meddle with any of them, or tn express any opinion on tneir merits. Our purpose Is respectfully to csll your attention to another subject, wnich we regard ss of psramount Importance; and respecting which, if nothing be done, we apprehend that your other labors must prove comparatively nugatory. ?We ask your attention to tho existing slavery of the negroes In our state and to some constitu tional provision for a system of emancipa tion. It Is objected, indeed, that our proposi tion will give alarm to our eastern breth ren, who are slave-holder* on a larger scale than weofthe west; and that they are even alarmed at the anticipated power of the west to impose unlimited taxes on this spe cies of properly. To this latter objection we answer, that wo are willing to see you provide any requisite guarantee against an undue exercise of such power, that thus the fears of our eastern brethren may be quiet* ed. We wish for nothing that is unfair. To the former objection wo say that, in a political view, we esteem slavery an evil greater than the aggregato of all the other evil*, which beset us; and that we are perfectly willing to bear our proportion of the burden of removing it. We ask farther, what is the evil o! any such alarm as our proposition may possibly excite, in minds unnecessarily jealous, compered with that of the fatal catastrophe which ultimately await* our country, Mid the general depra vation of manners which slavery has already produced, and is producing.' These we think sufficient answer* to the objections mentioned above. In laying this subject before you, we are not insensible to Its magnitude or its difficul ties We are aware* too, of the rooted pre judices which we encounter, growing out of old habits and present real or|supposed In terest. Nor are we indifferent to those Im putations of enthusiasm and rashness which will probably be cast upon us in no stiutcd measure. But we know that no great good" was ever achieved without strenuous ef fort* and such efforts have always been subjected to reproachful imputations. ?We must, therefore, patiently sub mit to them; considering them, in our tarn, as the ebullitions of heedless pas sion or uncompromising selfishness. Hie awful weight of the subject forbids any approach to it hi the spirit of levity; and we feel assured that we approach it with as much caution as those observe who turn away and refuse talook It in the face. Bet we should esteem it moral and political cowardice in tut to remain silent on a subject so deeply interesting to us in all our domes tic and political relations; one which inter mingles itself with every interest and con cern of life; productive, perhaps, of a few transient benefits, but certainly of an infini ty oft evils, now pressing upon us, and por tending general desolation In future. We waive,at present, the considerations oft religion and humanity which belong to thto momentous subject; and present it as a naked question of political wisdom and safe ty. While we believe that the public mo rals and general prosperity, which it to the province of government to a great extent to protect ami cherish, are deplorably in jured by slavery, we proceed to affirm that it is our own experience Mid observation confirming the faets and deductions of po litical economists, that the labor of slaves to vastly less productive than that of free men; that it, therefore, requires a larger space to furnish subsistence for a given number of the former than of the latter; th*t the employment of the former neces sarily excludes the employment of the lat ter; that, hence, our population, white ami black averages but about seventeen, when it ought, ami would, under other circum stances, average, ns in New England, at least sixty to the square mile, that the pos session and management of slaves form a source of endless vexation nnd misery with in the house, and of waste and ruin on the farm; that the youth of the countnr are 5rowing up with a contempt of sterfdy in nstry, as a low, servile thinr, which eon I tempt induces Idleness, and all its attendant effeminacy, vice, and worthlessnessi that the waste of tho product* of the land, nay of the land fWelf, is hrineiitg poverty upon nil its inhabitant*) that thUj^vrrt* and the mrtencM of oar population, either prevent c institution of schools through the coun try, or keep them in the most languid ami inefficient condition; and that inn name cause* most obviously paralise all our ftcherne*and eflbrtaforthe needful Improve ment* of the country. Th?*e thing* are h reitantlv pretaiug themselves upon our feel ings and observation; and it Would be easy to enlarge the melancholy catalogue. Rut there are other consideration* claiming our attention. It Is conceded* on all hands, Uut Virginia 's bawo of morxl and pnJMcal retraces ?ioo among the atatca of lit* confederacy.

And with shame we feel ourselves constrained to b.rr to the humiliating comparison. We view our beloved State, bleated by the God of nature with * variety of useftil and lovely capabilities unsurpassed by those of any I I othercountry oo the globe; wo vfew it not ?y as stationary, while her sMt* States! uvanclng, but aa positively declining, kxuliarty the province of snch state* U compose your honorable body* tol ; the causes of the national oafntoity Biation, and to provide and npply By.
