The President of the United States on Friday, the 2Sd inst., in answer to a resolution of the Sen ate adopted on the 19th of January last, commu nicated to. that body <4 mass of official correspon dence which has taken place during the last two years on the subject of the African slave trade, the Coolie trade and the African apprentice system.— These papers contain much interesting information in reference to the condition of the slave trade, and the action of the British and American Gov ernments in suppressing it, the Coolie trade of England and the African emigrant system ofFrance, and embrace thc voluminous correspondence which has recently taken place upon these subjects be tween the English Minister and our Secretary of State. They were referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, and ordered to be printed. In thc meantime, a portion of this correspondence is published by our Washington exchanges, from which we extract the subjoined letter, address ed by Mr. Mason, our Minister at Paris, to the Secretary of State, in relation to the measures a- dopted by the French government to supply its colonies with laborers from Africa. This letter shows that the English and French governments— each with the knowledge, assent and connivance of the other, are engaged in repairing the error of emancipation in the West Indies by reviving the slave trade and restoring to their colonies systems of slavery, more objectionable than that which they abolished in their spasms of philanthropy, and infinitely more objectionable than that well regula ted, ameliorated system of African slavery in the Southern States of this Union, which these govern ments have labored to destroy. It will be read with interest, as it is an authorized statement of facts, to which the attention of the people of this country has been directed for some time past: MR. MASON TO MR. CASS. Paris, February 19, 1858. In an interview which I had the honor to have with Count Walewski, Minister of Foreign Affairs, in thc last week of January, I asked him if there were any objections to my being informed of thc precise character of the measures adopted by his Majesty the Emperor’s Government in regard to the importation into the French colonics of ne groes from Africa. lie replied that there was not; and proceeded to state very frankly that the French eolonjes, particularly in the West Indies, were lan guishing for want of labor; that negro labor alone was adapted to tropical productions; that the French Government had devised a system for the introduction from Africa of laborers under guards which were iutended to protect them as free emi grants; that to supply these laborers they looked mainly to prisoners taken by the tribes in their in testine wars, who would, if not so disposed of ac cording to the barbarous customs of the country, be put to death; that the arrangements in Africa, prior to the embarkation, and for the disposition of the emigrants during the voyage and after their arrival in the colonies, were entirely under the management of commissioners of the French Gov ernment; that obligations were taken by them from the planters who received the emigrants into service to bind them to provide for the negroes during their time of service, and secure to them the means of returning to Africa if they shall choose to do so after its expiration. I asked if there was any truth in some state ments which I had seen in the English newspapers, that French vessels freighted with African emi grants would be regarded by British cruisers as engaged in the African slave trade. His Excel lency said no; that there had been some commu nication between the two governments, and the British government would not object to thc French scheme, while thc- wants of the British colonics were being supplied by the coolie trade. The Minister urged that the plan adopted secured Afri can labor, which was indispensable to their colo nies. Thus tho emigrants were free, and were res cued generally from impending immolation; that, relieved from ignorance and heathenism of the From the New York Banner of Liberty. Negro Colonization a Failure. The following extract which we take from a pub lished letter written to a friend by an officer of the United States Ship “Vincennes,” dated Monrovia, Liberia, January 26, 1858, concurs with all reliable testimony from that same quarter, in proving that the negro race, now and there, (as heretofore ev erywhere,) when removed from subjection to the white race, rapidly relapse into barbarism and misery. Let the dupes of the negro mania and of those impostors that turn it to profitable account, read and reflect: “This, as you doubtless know, is the theatre of the zealous efforts of the American Colonization Society for the last forty years, the last nine of which it has been a separate and independent re public, modeled after our own government, having a President and Alee President, its Congress, Sen ate and House, its Cabinet and all the minor offi cers corresponding to our own. The republic casts about 1,200 votes, and has, of colonists, a population of about 12,000, and of natives, within its limits about 200,000. A few families (first families of course,) monopolize all the offices, spend all the money, and tax the Colonization Society and the poor darkies, for the support of govern ment. Their defences consist of a little schooner, thc Lark, given to them by Great Britain, having four small guns. They also have four guns mounted on an eminence near town, which they call a fort ; also four more dumped in the sand on the beach just as.they were landed, and another in the same condition in one of their grass grown streets. They have never been mounted and probably will never be. . “They have little trade and less energy. Palm oil is the principal article of traffic, and just now they have little of that. The lazy natives have not energy enough to plant or cultivate the ground, and a succession of short crops has compelled them to cut down the palm tree for sustenance, thus cut ting off the oil crop, almost their only source of revenue. “I have seen all tho lions—Ex-President Roberts, President Benson, thc Senate, House, Supreme Court, Cabinet, &c. They are all “fust family," and mostly from “Ole AVirginny.” Thc President once had a mule, thc only animal of horse kind in the place, but the mule died the other day and there is now.no horse in the place. They say he has a colt out in the country, and anticipates a ride when the “critter” grows up. The Attorney-General is a big man, also—he wished to purchase two barrels of slush from our ship, but liis funds would not warrant paying what we thought it worth. “I visited Congress the other day, and heard a furious discussion in regard to the propriety of in creasing the salaries of thc Judges $50 a year.— One honorable mcnlber, who made the ‘big pala ver’ on the subject, said: ‘Mr. Speaker and Gemmen: De gemmen who spoke last is ’posed to raised the salaries ’cause he t’inks Liberia is gwaine to broke. Gemmen, I say Liberia can’t broke—only rich folks broke. Libe ria can’t broke, ’cause she’s too poor to broke.— Yah! Yah!’ “AYe have fired salutes for the Governments, had tho big niggers on board, and fired salutes for them, and ‘done them proud!’ But I must say, that I think the experiment of the Colonization So ciety is a failure. It has been carried on under the most favorable auspices, and patronized, and watched over, and encouraged, and paid by the most able and liberal men of our country for forty years, and to me it seems a failure.

There are some points on which neither the conversation nor the written memorandum give information which I desired. It does not appear whether a consideration is paid to the chiefs of tribes for their captives or people. I infer that there is. It does not explain the dura tion of the term of service, and it remains to be seen whether any of the emigrants will survive the term or return to their country, Judging from the tone of the public press, and reasoning a priori, I feel quite confident that... „ , future we will see the fanatical denunciation of A- or is doing for the general appearance of the town, T T? \V A T?

The French system is the subject of much discus sion in the English and French Journals. In the Revue des Deux Monies, which is the organ of the Abolitionists, or, "des Amis des Noire" it is severe ly attacked; and also in the Revue Contcmporaric, of which 1 send a copy herewith. It is quite evi dent that a conviction is gaining strength both in England and France, that in the compulsory eman cipation of the slaves in their tropical colonies by authority of Government, a grave political error has been committed—an error unjust to the colo nists, whose rights of property were destroyed, and to the colonies, by the annihilation of the labor which made them productive—without securing any compensating benefit It was attributed to an abstract idea; and now, to repair the error in its politico-economical sense, measures are resorted which amount, essentially and necessarily, to the restoration of slavery, whether of the coolies the free emigrants, or the rebellious Sepoys of British India, far more objectionable than the reg ulated system of slave labor which the present gen. eratlon found, established and destroyed. It is a subject of so mnch interest to the United States that I have thought it not amiss to make this communication. It appears to me that when the condition of the native-born slave of the United States, intelligent, well cared for, christianized, and happy, is contrasted with that of the coolie, the African emigrant, or the transported Indian Sepoy, the most fastidious philanthropy will not hesitate to declare the advantage to be on our side, and when enlightened Governments, at the head of European civilization, are 6een, in a moment of e to r— _4*k *i,o .i 6 i.*ovf property, and to destroy the labor of whole communities on abstract notion, and so soon compelled by po litical necessities to resort to such measures to re pair the wrong which they have done, all right- minded men with us will conclude that “it is bet ter to bear the ills wc have than flv to others that we know not of.” J.

Taking the Claws from a Tiger’s Feet. —For some time past it had been observed that a splendid tiger in the menagerie of John Robinson, whose animals have been wintering here, was suffering from pain in the forefeet, and it was finally concluded that the claws were growing upward into thc flesh. On Wed nesday preparations were made for removing thc claws. Ropes were passed around the body of the animal, by means of which he was hoisted from his feet and suspended from the top of his cage. Another rope was then slip ped around each fore-paw, which was pulled out of the cage between the iron bars. By means of instruments, the claws on the fore feet were then removed, and it was found that two or three of them had grown up in the flesh nearly half an inch, and others a less distance. As might have been expected, his tigership ex pressed his opinion of the surgical operation in the loudest manner.—Cincinnati Gazette. England Triumphs In India—Fall OF LUCKNOW. The steamship Canada brought from Eng land the news that had just reached there, that between the 12th and 18th of March—that great warrior, Sir Colin Campbell, at the head of the most splendid army ever seen in India, attacked, stormed and captured, the entrench ment of thc Sepoy rebels of Lucknow, and thus achieved the greatest of all the victories that have yet signalized British power in its Indian dependencies. The Sepoys were completely routed and with but slight loss to their antag onists. At latest accounts—they were being closely pursued by artillery and cavulry—with but little hope of escape. Lucknow geographically lies in the heart of what is known as the Kingdom of Oude, fa. mons as one of the last of those feeble vassal States, that have come entirely into the hands of Great Britain. There the insurrectionary forces seems to have gathered and mustered, for a last great effort, and here Sir Colin Camp bell has displayed his great military genius, by blocking up all the outlets from Lucknow, stationing his divisions at every commanding point, and rushing his irresistable bayonets into the besieged city. Thus completely sur rounded and hemmed in on every side, the Se poys must have been compelled to make the most bloody and desperate conflict that has been recorded in the annals of war. The next steamer will doubtless bring intelligence of the close of the war in India, resulting from this crowning triumph. We shall await with great interest the particulars of the last strug gle.—Atlanta Intelligencer. sr intellect and more enterprising habits. “It is very well that the experiment has had so I fair a trial, and that it affords ample scope for lib- c ral philanthropic families who believe in the equal ity of the negro with the white race, to squander all the spare change they can spare.” In addition to the above we subjoin the follow ing, taken from the April number of the “African Repository,” a monthly journal devoted to the col-1 onization cause.

But some improvement should be made at all hazards, -even by direct taxation—particularly the path ways, for we can term them nothing else, from the river side to the town. The main business of Monrovia, viz: all thc shipping, commission and wholesale busi- nees is done on the river side, where their small vessels lie. All approach to the tow-n too, from all parts of Mesurado county, New Georgia, Caldwell, Oiay, Ashland and Millsburg, is from the river, a- bove which, tho town is elevated some one or two hundred feet. According to the plat of tho town, some four or five streets should connect the river street with the higher part, and so they do in a certain manner, there being no obstructions in the way, but certain natural rocky formation which the Liberians seem loth to disturb. “On the water side too, there is nothing like a street, or even a decent straight path, and but lit tle attention appears to have been paid to a build ing line. At any rate, it seems so, but one cannot well judge, as the paths wind among rocks, trees and warehouses in labyrinthian tortuosities. ‘The wholesale dealers or commissionmerohants on the wharves, seem to have no signs, unless a Foreign and Domestic Dry Goods FOU THE SPRING AND SUMMER TRADE, To which they invite the attention of Merchants, apl 13 SPRUNG STOCK OF BELDEN 86 00.
