HENRY CLAY Secretary of State of the United Statet new-york, Oct. 12. By the arrival of ships Spartan, Edward Bonaffee, and Talma, from Havre, we have Paris papers to the 9th September, and by the ship Cor les. from London, we have papers to the 8th September. Accounts from Sierra Leone are to the 25th of June. There is not much news, either public or piivate, in the papers. Some icais arc expressed lest the lamented death of the late governor should lead to attempts, on the pait of the native chiefs, to renew the detestable traffic, to the extinction of which his efforts were so steadily and so successively directed. It is, at the same time, stated, that manj of those chiefs, even those most notorious for their encouragement of the slave trade, seem now heartily disposed to cooperate in putting an end to it, and have made offers of conceding such parts of their territories as may be necessary for the formation of settlements for that purpose. The Sierra Leone Gazette of June 10, has the following paragraph iespecting the slave trade : 44 We have this week the painful reflection of announcing the arrival of another slave vessel, the Portuguese schooner La Fortune, taken by his majesty's ship Biazen, of Prince's island, having on hoard at the time 245 of the unfortunate natives of this continent, 45 of whom died on their passage hither, leaving two hundred wretched survivors, afflicted with those diseases generally prevailing oo board those floating receptacles of miseThe extent and audacity with which thii inhuman traffic is now carried on, is, indeed, but too painfully brought to our notice by the number of its victims that in the last few weeks have been captured by the squadron and sent here for adjudication. In the last cruise of the Maidstone, she fell in with a French fiigate built ship which had en board 700 victims, 300 of whom, in consequence of their crowded state, had afterwards been transferred to another vessel. And when capt. Videll, of his majesty's surveying ship Barracouty, was in the river Bonny, a few weekl

ago, no less than ten slave vessels were lying at king Papel's, as he is called, seven of which were under the white flaj, furnished with French papers, and navi--gated by Fienchmen the other threo were Spanish." The Blackburn mail states, that a great number of weavers and others in this town, (Blackburn) have been prevailed on, in consequence of the distress of the times, to embark for America, and thatothers are preparing to follow their ex ample.
