Th R ight Iron. Gentleman, in the conclufiowif hls pews, pnioted nut the evilx,which he thought would attend the meafure of. /lEalition. He viewed in it canfequences the mon dill:thous to the tranquility of our colonies and the (comity of Well India property. He anticipated from it the repetition of the fame dreadful fcenes in Jamaica, which bad fo long defalated St. Domingo. The profpeet of the civilization of the Negroes, as aching out of the mea- Aire, he conceived to be altogether delttfive. He re ferred, on this point, to the exertions made by the Sierra Leone Company, to civilize the natives of that part if the Cotall of Guinea. Thefe exertions had totally failed t and he was perfnaded that the hopes held nut by the Bill would prove totally illufory ; and, on the grounds of policy as well as expediency, he conjured the Houfe to refill the meafure. In the courfe of his nbfervations he Willed a good deal on the Trade paffill to other countries, in cafe of its being put an end to by the Bill. He alluded to a con traut offered on the part of the Spanifh Government to the Traders of Liverpool, of the mat advantage ous kind, for importing of Negroes into the Spanifh settlements. Mr. HENRY THORNTON explained that the failure of fuccefs on the part of the Sierra Leone Company was no arr ‘ ument againft the eftablifhment. This failure he !hewed arofe from eaufes of an aecia *nail nature, and not at all conflated with the ge neral principles on which the Society was founded. Me did fanguinely look forward to the influence of the Bill, as laying the fureft foundation for civilizing the inhabitants of Africa. Till the abominable trade which the Bill went to extinguith was abolifhed, it toes impoffible for any exertions, however benevolent, *holly to Coerced in accomplifhing this moll denia ble ribla l. The Hon. Gentleman, in addition to this 'pound fupporting the meafure, illu fluted and en- Priced all the other arguments employed in its fuppott. aHe was C. nvinced that it was a meafure equally founded on the moll enlarged views of policy, huma nity; and juftice ; and therefore he hoped that the Houk would confult at once their duty and their hotlhur by its immediate adoption. Mr. WI SMITH, in a fpeech of tome length, and Ode argument, recapitulated and anfwered all the oblations againft the meafure. He quoted the va lious authorities on the fubjat of the treatment of the Negroes, which he maintained was of itfelf a fulficient foundation for the Bill. He denied that the Bill was at all pregnant with the dangers which tome Hon. Gentlemen defcribed t but, on the other hand, argued that nothing but the immediate prohibition of the im portation of frelh Negroes, all moll prone to infurrec tiob, could give us a chance of retaining in peaceable toffelnon our Weft India colonies. He expofed the argument drawn from the idea of the Trade palling to other countries. There was every reafon to exile& that; at the expiration of four years, it would be able lueely prohibited in America. At 2.1 events, he main tained, that the idea of this taking place was no at , nutrient againft our difeontinuing a traffic at once in human; impolitic, and grofsly unjnfl. The whole of this fpeech was luminous and conclufive. Mr. ADDINGTON oppofed the Bill as at this time impolitic, though he was far from being a friend td the Slave Trade, which on the other hand be molt &crag', reprobated. He forefaw that if the Bill did pifs, the trade would pars to other countries, and that attiring the uninformed ignarant Negroes, the inowledge of Gaels • Bill would lead to infuriation ed lie conjured lite Houfe to weigh well there add ether eonfideratirras againft the bill, which Le united would not pat , into • law. Mr. WILBERFORCE fupported the Bill at fome ;ninth. and adduced feveral toll:ince' of increaling poOrtlttioft, without the aid of importation, which he attributed entirely to the cireundianee of the Slaves being made to do talk work inflead of being kept tontlintly at work by meant of the whip. Mr; DENT declared, that from the belt informa thrn trhich be was able to &dial, the increafed amorint of Staves purchafed, was owing entuely to a dente of cultivation in the Planter'. Whatever *right be the increafe of population. it was evident that there was an afloat neceflity to extend the ptir chafe alto • as he had it from good authority, that eien the Governor of Jamaica himfelt had found it need:try to recruit his flock by that means. The quaint' was then called for, and the Houfe dividecP—Ayes 69, Noes 33, Majority 36. The Bill was then patted, and ordered to the &ardor—Adjourned. Orders have been Cent to Plymouth, direlling all the men of war in Cawfand Bay immediately to join the Channel Fleet. With this reinforcement of fx fail of the line, the gallant Admiral Coaxwittis will be nearly equal in point of numbers to the ene my, whom he has to long waited to ebonite. In point of valour, sill, and difcipline, there can be uo compariton. This day arrived Paris Journals to the tgth ;nein five, alto Dutch Evers to the z.eth. A HAmburgh Mail has alto arrived.

One of the moll revere fights took place on Toef day, that has been witneffed fince the memorable battle between Jobnfon and Big Ben. Neither oldie combatants had entered the lifts before, though they were known to pairs great (kill, and were equally defirmis to difplay it. One of them was PIM WARD, fon of the celebrated broiler of that name, and the other Toss Biscuit. younger brother to a pogililt of Rill greater celebrity. The match was firft made between Belcher and Caleb Balwin (a well known broiler) ; but the latter having declined, Ward en tered the lift in his Read, under the expedation of gaining a putfe, containing upwards of 40 guineas, iubfcribed by Sir Toossiis Asiatics, Capt.-HALLI DAY. and other (porting Gentlemen, to be given to the vigor. About one o'clock the parties arrived at the Willow-walk, attended by vaR concottrfe of fpettators, who, notwithßanding the fecrecy . which had been obferved in order to prevent the attendance of the Police Officers, had gained a knowledge of the intended fight ; an nbjet9inn being made to the (pot chufen in the Willow-walk, as ton confined for the conreft, the combitants agreed to fight in Tothill fields, within a (pace of so feet fquare ; the feconds accordingly went thither. and having firtt driven Rakes in the ground, formed a ring, of the dimen (ions Rated, by bridles. which were fupplied by coachmen, and which being made faft to the (takes, prevented the populace from breaking in. At two o'clock they accordingly met, attended by their feconds and bottle holders, &c. On (tripping, Ithe odds were fie to four on the fide of Belcher. and 'many bets were made. Ward appeared more milieu ' lar than his opponent out of his clothes, but Belcher WAS longer armed. and taller. They both fet to in a mafterly (Lyle, and difplayed great fcienee. Ward made the two firtt blows at his opponent's body,which took confiderably effeet : they wete given with fuels violence, that had they been placed where they were intended. the battle would have been finiflied. Bel. cher, however, foon rallied, when fume defperate blows coined on both tides; and the round Wised with even betting. From the firlt to the eighth round was one con tinued fcene of hart.' fighting, each party endeavour ing to make god his hits without ever once &oink ing from a blow. The odds wete fix, to four on Bel cher again ; but it was not thought they were war ranted from any advantage he had in the battle.— Young Belcher adopted the manner and Rile of his brother, and hit as fireight as a dart with his left hand, whillt his opponent (ought like a lion, and dill dained to give way. For feveral rounds after die eighth, Ward's blows were In forcibly and well direited that they became irrefillible, and he had apparently the advantage : but, from the fupptifed bottom of young Belcher, the betting was Rill even. About this per( id Belcher began to be in reality fo weak and &united, that he fell twice without receiving a blow. To the feventeenth round Ward feemed to potlels the advantage. if there was any, and had put in many very delperate body blows. Belcher continued to fight with equal fpirit. but fought all at the head, by which means he had confiderably injured Ward's eyes, and were much fivelkd. _ . •_ _ . The 17th round was fought with defperation.— 1 Belchet's Ilrength teemed to he recruited ; be chang ed his mode of fighting, and threw in level-al body blows. Ward perlevered with undaunted fpirit to the end of the round, which was lung ; but, alter falling with his opponent, he did not appear to rife with the fame alacrity. The 18th round was another fcvcre trial, in which both the combatants feemed determined to employ all the flrength and vigour they had left. Ward appeared very faint ; hut he flintily flood his ground, and received Inch violent blows on his eyes, already much cut, thst they were now entirely doled tip. Though his fight was nearly gone, he requelled to try another round, in which be was completely worfled ; and his Itiends, perceiving there were no hopes of (need:. the Hon. K►►►st. Ca•vrri, and other fporting Gentlemen, interpoied, and infidcd that he thould not fight any longer, in cildequence of which he was carried off the ground almoil a lite left corpfe, and Belcher received the prize. The fight laded 29 minutes, during which 19 rounds took place. Yellerday another defperate battle was fought in Hyde Park, between Joe Davey, a ihoemaker. and Wilkins, a drover. The fight ladled an hour and ten minutes, during which nuinbetlefi knock down blow s were exchanged. The drover was at leng.h declared the viElor, but they were both fo dreadtully beaten, as to be concluded off the ground, blind and much bruited. s NAUTICAL nirstuczNci. MAILS THIS North. AU. OCR.
