I* lahleas of political enquiry. I have endeavoured, to the utinoft of my ability (but certainly with a full convietion of my own incompetency in fn ar duous a duty), to explain the 'fleas of this Bill on t h e i o rerelts of the Merchants, on the fituation of the Plantar, and on the condition of the Negroes, in all ittbearingi and relations, and on theft various steotfi ds, I fhal give it my cordial fuppurt." General GASCOIGNE replied at confiderable length to the Noble Lord. He re-hated all the ar gumer • tt that have been in freqhently adduced in fa tour of the Slave Trade, denied that any fuch mor uility as that afferted by the Noble Lord. existed in the (hips employed in that traffic, and templaine4 of the Nance with which the friends of the Abolition refuted to beer evidence at the Bar of the Houle.— Th e Rare was tremendous. We were rifkingthe hits o f t he Colonies; and the lots of the Corunies would be the downfall of the Britilb Empire. Mr. ROSCOE could not-give a talent vote on this o cafion with any fatisfaaiou to his awn feelings, nor, hs trolled, with any adherence to his duty towards lair Congitnents ; for, whatever might be thought of the people of Liverpool, he could afture the Houfe that a great and refpeetablc body of them thought the Slave Trade a cruel and barbarous traffic, and experSed anti willed its abolition. He then entered into a very able expofirion of the horrors attendant on the trade, and dwelt in peculiarly thong terms of reprobation of the cpndoa of the traders in fur. minting the• Africans with fire arms, brandy, and other means of &attrition - and debauchery, for the porpule of availing theinfelvet of the evils that necef farily followed. From the length of time which was occupied in bringing flayes from the interior to the coaft of Africa, it had been apprehended by Line that a dreadfnl matfacre might fucceed the immediate floppage of this traffic ; but after making every poffi- Lie inquiry, he found there was no ground for this fear. He inclined to the opinion, that at tome future period compenfation might be made to thole who could prove that they were unjualy !offerers by the abolition. To make up then, for the partial and temporary issinty to our commerce, which the 101 l of the Stave 'node might uccafion, he recommend ed the mention of our colonial fyftem, and intimated the policy of laying open the trade to the Eaft Indies. Mr. LUSHINGTON fupported the commitment of the Bill, and in aufwer to the argument of the dif proportion of the fexes, he cited the authority of a 31)1ofeffor of St. Peter fbargh, who noticed an inftance of the increafe of a people where there was a defi ciency of females, much more confiderable than that resifting in the Itlands. In Trinidad he admitted that the Proprietors would (Whin fume lots: but thefe adventurers were not entitled to the fame protection as the old Colonifts. Mr. FAWKES fupported the Bill in a fpcech of cor.fiderable energy. He Waved, that the traffic which the endeavours of his virtuous Colleague, (Mr. Wilb e rforce) were calculated to de- Still. had and ever muft have his abhorrence ; and the vote he illould give this night would be a matter of triumph to bin, in she bit& period of Ids Hie- The condition of favage life was of It fufficiently deplorable, hut its evils had been blunted by the intereowle of Europe with Africa. He drew an all - calms picture el the miferies of the flave.who was forced from his native coon sry and family, to he expofcd to the heft bidder, and condoned to a mailer who cunfidered ldm in the fame light as his inanimate aecels. He thought it was Mph time the arm of the flave trader Mould 1%. arreltcd. and that he (tumid be tank. if he meant to Jr rich. muft learn to be humane. He trotted the Bridal iihture would slot labour under the difgrace of having heard the wrnogit of Africa without pity. and left them without reciter.. Lord MAHON called up at the Hot re. in the 113111 C of furring Ihu , vatsity. and of an injured and opprciied people, to repeal fo ahfgr.veful a traffic. - - - - Lord mu. roN, after condenming the Slave Trade. and coat tiering it violatury of every principle of religion, of humanity, :anti even expedit icy. rentallt, al, that if any thing could increafe convitftion of the neeeffity of abolifhing it, it was, that a dear votl valuable (Mr. Fox) had left its abolition as a legacy.— ) - the objed that wa • mar& his heart, and he therefore V/24 I at , fied he &add not be doing his duty if be did :tot lift up his voce to (Arabi it. Mr. BRAGGE BATHURST admitted that the African Slave Trade ought not to be encouraged—on the contrail., every one agreed that it ougl t to he aboliihed; but be thought it ought to be grAdaally abolifhtd, and with that view he wifhed to have the ton cage iocreafed annually, in order that it might not be worth any perfott'. while to engage in fuch a traffic. Sir jOHN DOYI.E offered fame apeingy for addrellng the Houle atter the able conkers that had pone before him, thougfile tevred that 'Own he had to addreft a Britifh audience in behalf of Nee claims of joftice and humanity. an apology was little Mort of offence: whatever difproport ion of les eaifled now in the black pn ritiatim of the colonies. it would he iner."raql by a gradual aboli• tion, for the flavea employed would he chiefly males, as had been the cafe alwlys, notwithaanding fo trail former warning, that the trade would be form eudiftted. The Counft.l who had been I cud at the barPhad alfo (*poker' of Jo ft ice and !Omani. y. but had applied them not to the wretched finferers, hut to shore who loftie r:el the firffe:ip. As to policy, he :I nied the fitundn fs of any rtlicy wbict waS contrsry to justice and humanity ; and he was fure filch polies wa: not true Brian': policy. The two greaten. men Ali country, or perhaps any other country had ever produced at the fame ton-, though rivals on almott every other political point, .:greed in the wifJom of aholifhing the have trade. as contrary tojultiee and humanity. and to found policy.

He did not mear'perfonal intereft, fur that motive would operate in a contrary way : there were a number of Gentlemen who had N ores iii dies Houk ,that may perhaps have been conciliated by for bearing from the abolition, but there was not a Engle vote on the road of Africa to make it matter of perfonalinterett to Mini tters to j - erriae the (Mork they bad chalet:. The Counfel had argued.that as :Inc( Ikon had far:dinned the Dive trade for t;o years, it would be difrefpcctful in us now to &bob& it. Wit h every rerped for nur an ntors, he tb tight it ton much that we rbould, in every thing, eon don,: to no always as they had done. They were highly enlight- C highly experienced, no doubt, but we had the advantage of &it li;hts and our own, and we lived is times as well adapted to , :alt a new light upon thing.. as any period in the hiltory of the world (a lave). The clanger that was dreaded from the contagion • at. Dennlngo could by no other means be fo effeaually guarded ageinft, as by attaching the Negroes by benefits, and by flopping iemortation. When thole who were intereited in keeping up the Slave Trade, tell him the Cave* were happy, it reminded him of a lost, whom he had once ken in a warren fewing up the mouth of a ferret: be remordtrated with the man upon the cruelty of the ad; but the man anfwered, " Lord, Stir. the ferret likes it above all things"—(r lave). It was argued that the Liverpool merchants bad fitted up a IllelllterT of (hips Inc this trade, which Alps it kern et,. could not bc applied to ally other trade ; that there °lips were manned with frame,, who were milk fur any other navigation than that us gave fhips ;and that they had built docks and piers, which , euld hold none hut filar (hips.

But they were repaid by ingratitude worfe than the Gal of witchcraft and witchcraft too was uled to delude the unfortunate negroes--(o He was happy at all times to contribute to the good humour of the Houle! but be had been always fo deprrffAl and pained in the contemplation of this fibjed, that he was at a lois to reconcile to himfelf his prefccn gaiety, except it was produced by the cow fciuufnefs that this night would put a period to this horrid trade. He denied that the Governors of Colonies were at all qualified to eve evidence of the condition of the negroes. They were the perfons on the Colonies who knew legit about it. He recited tome (hocking Pittances of cruelty to negroes that had come order his own eyes. He had known the contempt of chore poor crea tures carried fo fAr, that when one white man killed two negroes belonging to another, the other would not be fo ungenteel as to eau% the fine due by the law, but balanced the account genteelly by emoting two of his. Abolition of this trade was the only mode of feeuring better treatment for the blacks, and of render ing the Colonies &writhing' The SOLICITOR GENERAL, in an able and eloquent fpeech, alerted the rights of the injured Negroes. He entered into a detail of the different regulations for their puniihment ; and alluded to a ate which took place in the Writ Indies, to (hew that the iuterelt of the Planters in the Mends was fo strong, that the Civil Audio. city dared nut to carry its decrees into execution for the puniihment of a Planter, whole iuhunianity had rendered bin' amenable, even to thole laws ettated in fo grest a meature, not for the pro/cajun but fur the upprelilon of the Blacks. He paid a high compliment to the exertions of Mr Wilberforce in profecuting the emancipation of the Africans. Mr. Alderman HIBBERT fvoke againft the motion, and en tered into Come arguments in favour of the track, which the Bill went lo Mr. WILBERFORCE replied to the left Speaker, and fpoke with much feeling againtt the traffic. He complicnented the Houle on the number of 'Young Men who had fpoken againft the eonti nuance of the trade, and who, he hoped, would live to fee thofe benefits realized, which were now fu rcafonably pm/it:keel from the meafure before the Hoyle. Sir JOHN DOYLE faid a few words in explanation. Mr. MANNING alto explained, and finally concurred in the me.tfure, exprelling, however, a hope. that slue compeufation would In. made to thole whofe interelts might fuller by the Aboli tion of the Trade. Mr. ADDINGTON could with difficulty obtain a hearing, antral} the general cry for the queilion. He raid, that be hoped that Gentlemen would not think it phffible that he could mean to try their patience, after the debate that they had heard.and at that boor of the morning, by Rating his °Medians, however weighty he felt them to be, to tl.e queßion brought forward by his Noble Friend. Anxious as be had been to exprefa his fentiments, he thought it incumkent on hint to give way to the unufoal pre Pure and number of Gentlemen, particularly of new Members,wbo had been &limos of delivering their opinions,which were perhaps better worth hearing than his own. His only nbjttt in rifing was to Rate, to the Houle, that the ground, and the only one, on which he could confent to leave the Chair, :tiled on the pledge that had been given by his Right Hon. Relation near him (Mr. Ba• thurft) that when in a Committee, he should propofe to extend the term for the final eitimbion of the trade. This, accompanied by the other =alums of gradual Abolition, particularly the levy. ing annually encrufing du acs en e 'eh Slave imported, app:ared to hint, as it had always done, the only laic, effeftual anti pradicable mode, of diipoling of tkis ohjeetionable, but long ettabliffied trade, and which was not to be accomplithed by fudden and violent measures. Lord PERCY funefted, that a principle which he (Mudd with to introduce into the Bill towards the final Emancipation of the Negroes. would be to declare every ncgro child free, who ihillbc born in his Majclty's dominions after the eft of January, t 8i Tht %leflion was now loudly called for, and the Houle divided.

THIS DAY AT ONE ori.ocK : Collitria. for money, 62;f—fur February 6t+ —fur I,4ii Ezehequer Bids, par to tt. prt—Omitiont We Rated yeierday that accounts lead been received from the Dutch coati of another battle having been fought between the Ruffian and French armies, in which the former had been joined by so,oooAntlrians, the hfue of which was favostrable to the Ruffians. It is not believed in the beef informed circles that there is any truth in the report fo far as concerns the Auntie's ; but other accounts received this day from Yarmouth fpeak of another great battle having ac. tually happened, in whict the French loft to,orao men. What degree of credit this report is entitled to, we cannot afcertain ; but, as it is made to rc chiefly on the circumllanee of Count ALorsus, AmbafFador from Ruffia, having landed the day before yellerday at Yarmcuth, from the Starling Imp of war, from Tonningen, we are rather fceptical as to his having brought any new intelligence. Our reafon for doubt ing whether theintelligance he brings can relate to any t►anfaelions fuhfequent to the accounts we have before had, we than Hate in a few words : So !'.sr back as Monday fe'nnight, the 16th intl. we laid be fore our Readers a private letter from the Continent, refpeeting the arrival at Tottingen of the very Gen tleman that has now reached England ; the following is the letter alluded to : " TONNINGIIN, JAN. 27. " His rscelleney Count Alopeus, Ambairatior from Ruins, arrivcd on the 24th infant, and embarked on board his Britannic hi.t . ;elly's gun brig Starling. accompanied by the nuclide of Wei• mar and fuite. The wind being now near north, thee may pro bably fail re-morrow. They bring welcome news home, as the Ruffans bate completely beat the Frrneh, and there is reafon to believe that no enemy is on the Polifh Ade of the Viitula." Now, horn the above letter, compared with the reports now in circulation, it is plainly impolEble that the Count can have brought accounts of tranfaElions that are laid to have taken place in Poland in the end of January and beginning of February. We 'hall, however, fulijoin the mounts received this morning from Yarmouth, (bat our Readers may draw their own conclulions " YARMOUTH, SUNDAY. s P. M.

The pet,ple on the ►oufe tops, and in the windows. who law their error, waved their handkerchiefs, and :wade fignals to them to !laud quiet. but to no purport:. All was confubon and uproar, the men lighting their way, and the wemtn (creaming in the molt piercing manner. There was a frparate current ut people which mi4ht be dittindly uhrerved to Lbw from the mouth or every avenue, to the Old Bailey As each body came in cont idi with the other, thete was of cruefe a vt.ry Leavy Rruggle between them, before it was decided which of them Mould carry the other with it. At one of there c tntettelitig points, a poor pyeman ot the name of Thorn, was thrown down and his balked with him ; this was at the end of Bithop's•court. Oppolite Green Arbour court there was a very heavy force pouring down from each fide of St Sepulchre's Church, from New;ate-itreet, and from the end of the Court where a coal cart was crammed with ;actions who paid for their places, that they might have a fuller prulpedt, and at the fame time avoid the yreffure of the crowd: with the force at the people who puffed forward in each oppofite direttion, and the weight of thole with whom it was loaded, the cart broke down, and the people were precipi tated into the Brett.

There was a long woralc:r rail with one end faftened to the top of a poll, and the other on the ground ; to prevent coaches and cares from driving down among the crowd; this wasnwas near to the (pot where the cart had broken down, at the end of Green Arbour- Court; there was filch a terrible runt through this gap in the croud, at it might he called, that in a very thurt time the people neareft the uutortunate petfons who had been thrown down were compelled, as the only means of raving their own lives, to gimprvray to thofe that were behind, and ruining with the current, aetuall.- trampled on thole who were already down, until at oft tome of themfelves were carried on to the rail, and tumbled over it.
