The infurreCtions in G:enada, the Carfibbee next. and the Maroon wars, and above all, the revolt'. .ion of St. Domingo, ought to be taken into con iideration lay thofe who now argued the quefliun. —The condition of the negro (lave in our islands was far happier than that of the free ;le g r oei o f Saint Domingo, fubjea as they were to the murders and mafractes which the revolutionizing fpirit of emancipation had produced.

He concluded an able and argumentative fpeech, by ex prelfing, that he would malt tirenuoufly concur in any nr e afute which could better the condition of the flares, nr that could pumfb feverely any cm uelties that might he praetifed on them ; but he could not, colitidently with his duty, fupport the total Abolition of the Slave Trade. Mr. BROWNE followed on the fame fide. He thought the Slave Trade a political evil, but an I.ln. avoidable one, interwoven with the itttereits and profperity of Great Britain. He argued 'in the Ma c'equacy of the Bill unlefs all the other Powers con turfed in the abolition, as Great Bri•ain !hared hut one firth of the trade ; and inlitied up -n the ruin of the C , lonies by the failure ot the continued lupply oi.

The intelligence which has lately arrived from the Continent undr.ubtedly of a moll important nature, with a view to the refults that may pulLbly follow from the relative liitration of the armies oppofed to each other. We are ourfelves inclined to hope for the heft, and to reit our espeeations of a favourable itr i ie on the tried valour of the Radian forces, and on the jthlgment and (kill with which ti ::r operations have hitherto been ctindueled. There k, however, another view to be taken of the ftate of affairs on the other fiJe of the Zanla, to ‘vhich, we cannot dirguife to our Readers, that we attach Tome degree of confidetation. It k now pretty evident, that the order di - ilea by BONAPARTE to put his army into winter quarters was nothitig more than a pretence; and there appears to be Come ground fur folpeing that the operations ca' tied on by his left wing againft lilbing, Konigfberg, &c. was nothing more than a feint ; the obje4l being to draw the atten tion of the Rutifian army to Ciat quarter, to refisme () Ir v in ve operations, and to draw neare , to theViti It is covimis that the operations of the Ruffian al my in that direetion, Tuna =Warily be fupported by the main body of the army. In the mean time, Boma- MITE has hen pultiag forward hi right wing, and I evidently with a view of getting upon the rear (.1 the nu:haus; and, in'cafe of a vitiory, of cu tin:, off tt.eir retreat to the heart of their own territory.

From the 111 accounts of the relative pofition r the two at mie,, a pitched battle teems inevitable, and has probably taken place Were this lime. We can not but feel anxious; . we might indeed fay, appre henfive fur the refolt, when we ccnfider the military talents of I.lnNspAsrs, and thole of the Generals under his command, who mull belides be aware, that their own fortunes, their rank, confideratirn, and importance, mull be completely involved in the fuccets or failure of the prefent campaign. The po Eldon of the Ruffian army is cellainly very ilrong, as a defenfive one, in the mida of lakes, f..rells, and mo. raffes. But let it be reculleaed that the French have c.ften furmounted difficulties of no leis magnitude; that the rapidity of their movements has often proved an overmatch fur even fnperior valour ; and that courage alone is no adequate opponent to fuperiur I gcneralfhip. "• This view of the fubjeet is undoubtedly the darken, and whicli.we may perhaps be confidered as having Rated in the extreme. We have been tno often pampered with hopes, and after wards !larved with dilappointments. Of the general appearance of things on the Continent, we are difpnfed to think very favouretly ; but it is material that the Public limuld not Phut their eyes to either fide r:f the quefiion, and (liould be prepared for pollible ;lilies, which we fin. cerely hope, and are inclined on many accounts to Leiir ve, may never be realized.
