The Rev. B: AnpReEws, of Trow- 
bridge, is preparing for ‘publication'a 
work, to be’ entitled, Clavis Greca 
Biblica; containing a short’ introdue- 
tion to the Greek tongue, and a copi- 
ous’ Greek Lexicon for tle Septuagint, 
New Testament, and Apocrypha, with 
the signification of the words given in 
Latin‘ and English ; designed for theo- 
logical students, who have. not had the

such persons as know the English lan- 
guage ‘only, but desire to understand 
ihe Greek Scriptures. 
‘The Vale of Chamouni, a poem, by 
the author of “Rome,” is in the press. 
‘oThe African’ fnstitution, in an ad- 
dress circulated within the month, state 
that) the information received from 
time to time of the horrid crimes per- 
petrated in Africa, and on the high 
seas, by miscreants who make it their 
business ‘to buy and sell their fellow- 
éreatures, and of the alarming increase 
of this abominable traffic under the 
flags'of France, Spain, Portugal, and 
the Netherlands,—is of such a nature 
as' to render it'the duty of the Institu- 
tion to give the utmost publicity to the 
facts) which are constantly coming to 
their'knowledge, and to. call the atten- 
~tion°of the British nation, in a very 
particular manner, to the enormities 
now practised upon the persons of the 
helpless children of Africa; enormitics 
never exceeded in the annals of op- 
pression’ and cruelty. At the present 
moment vast numbers of innocent 
men, women, and children, are lan- 
guishing in the hands of their tor- 
mentors; many are suffering a most 
eruel and lingering death, by suffoca- 
tioninthe ‘holds’ of slave-ships; thou- 
sands are’ on their way to interminable 
slavery;'to which they will infallibly be 
consigned, unless ‘previously released 
byideath, or rescued’ by the interven- 
tibniofsome merciful hand, from those 
dealers in’ human blood, whom the 
America governinent has declared to 
be pirates, and who; instead of being 
protected and sheltered, ought to be 
branded by ‘every civilized state as 
enemies to: the human race. The 
African Institution is persuaded, that

cated in this cruel traffic, as well as in

extent of the crimes daily and hourly 
‘perpetrated by the subjects of their 
respective countries; who are engaged 
if’ the African slave-trade. The direc- 
tors have ‘therefore determined, if fur- 
nished with thé means, to publish in va- 
rious languages the facts which are 
almost daily communicated to them ; in 
the’ firm conviction that, when’ these 
facts shall be generally known, the 
wise and the good of all nations will 
rise up and, with the voice as of one 
man, solicit their respective govern- 
ments to abolish a traffic marked in 
every stage with blood, disgraceful to 
every nation that does not use the 
greatest exertions for its utter extinc- 
tion, and a standing reproach to the 
Christian name.—After such ‘an ap- 
peal, we hope the meeting of the 10th 
of May will be the largest and most 
liberal ‘which the royal chairman has 
ever witnessed. ‘ 
The weakness and alarm of'a French 
government, which violates the’ Char- 
ter of Liberty, is manifest, from the 
seizure within the month ‘of that re- 
spectable paper, the London Morning 
Chronicle ; the offence of which was the 
printing of asong! How much greater 
libel docs a government pronounce on 
itself which considers itself endangered 
by asong!
