-, • .... le. ~. ~'i ~r this might might have been done without a tithe of that species of ingenuity which Mr.. Smith certainty posse ssed. He 'had not done so; an t o Whom Jdid they owe it, that the shockinm scenes detailed inthe, evidence of Mrs. Wal d *etc not repeated in a lbousand instances? Why to the hinimess and exertions of the military, who were! at that moment arraigned before the House as guilty of brutality and ininstice--(Cheers).—After this ttatement he would put it to the House whether the Court-mar.; tial had recourse to the measures adopted by them with out any previous shedding of blood ?.--1 Hear.)—Was this to be excused upon the ground that what had been done for the amelioration of the condition of the ne groes was not promulgated in sufficient bole? Why had not the rest of the slaves, amounting to 70,000, re course to the same conduct as those who frequented Bethel Chapel? Theme mast be some local cause to account for this fact. It must have arisen from circum stances that did not affect the test of thenegro population. Ile begged the House to attend to one part of the evi dence—" 1 wish Wilberforce was here in this room, just to look on me, for we may thank him and then for all that has happened, that the same might be dealt to him by some other hand." This shewed the necessity of re pressing those enthusiastic feelings by which many; with the best intentions, were led to speak of the emaucipa tion of the Negroes. If the Missionaries held forth as a point of doctrine that Negro slaver y must be totally eradicated. no rational hope of improvement could be entertained. It would be impossible to act upon the principles recommended by Government unless the masters were inclined to concur, and contribute their efforts towards carrying them into effect. Was this to be done by declaring amelioration hopeless without the total eradication of slavery ? It was inconceivable how all Missionaries could be attacked by the trial of Mr. Smith. Such an individual should not be held out as a pattern, so long as the Society required that its mem bers should be guided in their exertions by prudence. He had no doubt that when the country became ac quainted with the accurate details of the case, they would see that the conduct of Mr. Smith was, to say the least of it, highly imprudent. He thought him an enthusiast. He entertained notions incompatible with the good of society ; and whatever might have been his intentions, if his conduct had all the attributes of guilt, he saw no reason why he wa not to he tt eared as a guilty person. The same nicety of evidence was not required in a Court-martial as in a trial at law ; and taking all the circumstances into consideration, he had no hesitation in saying that no ground existed for at taching blame to the Court-martial. The petition stated! that the causes of the insurrection were not connected! with the conduct of Mr. Smith, but arose from cruelties! practised towards the Negroes. He challenged any per son to shew that the slaves principally concerned in the! insurrection had any such excuse. The leaders in it were, of the better class of Negroes ; they were all trusted men, well fed, and having no ground for complaint, cruelty' therefore could not be alleged by them as an excuse for their acts. With respect to thedelay in promulgating the intentions of Government for ameliorating the condition of the slaves, it was not suffered to explain the results, for it did nut produce those results on persons similarly circumstanced. On the allegation of the Petitioners that Mr. Smith followed the directions of the Society, he would only remark, that Mr. Smith's conduct proved lie did not follow them. The Petition stated, that be was kept closely in prison. The same charge would apply, whether he had kmeeu tiled by a civil or military process. With respect to allowing him i n s aavocate, had he been tried by the civil law he could not have had one. Ile had the assistance of an advocate, so tar as it could be of any use to him. It was impossible the lan guageattributed to the President by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman(Mr. Brougham) could have been used by him. It was not quoted in any of the official authorities upon the subject. The Petition stated, that the influ ence of the Christian doctrines promulgated by Mr. Smith was visible in the manner of conducting the in surrection, and in the absence of mai age by which it was marked. Oa this head he would refer to the evi dence of Mrs. Waldron. Was it necessary, towards the attainment of the object sought for, that she should be shot at? It was true she received the ball only in her arm, but it might as well have reached her heart. No wonder, after such mistatements, that the table of the House was deluged with Petitim.s, the whole of which originated in this. The Petitioners stated that Mr. Smith was an innocent and unprotected victim. fie trusted he had sufficiently proved that such was not the fact. They stated that they were convinced of his legal and moral innocence. If a man suffered himself to act in a manner not sanctioned by law, whatever his intentions might have been, would it not be just to characterise him as a etiominal ? The imperfec tion of human nature was such, and such the im possibility of seeing into the consciences of men, that they must judge from their action, not their inten tion—(Hear, Hear). Ile hoped he had sufficiently proved that the Petition was inaccurate: it was the parent of all the rest that bad been presented on the subject, and the same inaccuracies ran through the whole. The conduct of Mr. Smith, whatever his intentions might have Leen, had all the characteristics! of guilt. A man might do wrong with good intentions, and it appeared clearly that he had been guilty of mis prision of treason. The circumstances of the colony re quited mat tial laws the wishes of the whole community a-tee in fa rout of it. !le did not think, therefore, that they ought to contemplate with alarm the proceedings that took place. lie believed the motives by which the Court-mat tial a cie actuated were 9nod, and that Mr. Smith had been tried by honourable men, incapable of willingly abwing the in:A reposed in diens. The ques tion was, whether substantial justice bad been done, or wi:ether the conduct of the Authorities was harsh and unjust? He saw no ground for the motion. The Dutch law was now in a course of change, and so far the ob ject of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman (Nlr. Brougham) was in a course of being carried into effect. For these reasons he would oppose the proposition. Sir J. MACKINTOSH sail, if he had not been called on to vindicate a Petition he presented some time since, he should have been anxious to take the oppor tunity of giving his testimony in the face of what he considered the most loul act which had ever disgraced the law in any part of the Mash dominions. The Honourabie Gentleman who had preceded him had stated that the Londan Missionary Society %%etc not philosophers, but could that be used as an argument against them ? It was said that cruelty on the part of the planters could not have produced the insurrection, because the ringleaders were not in a condition to be treater: ea ucliy. The ringleaders in all insurrections, were likely to be persons superior to the class they cli• meted. The Governor of Dem:want stated that he bad not heard of w;lites hawing been deliberately murdered. • ..-• - . . None of these muriTers enstiei which had marked for mer insurrections. The violence described by the Hon. Gentleman was not general. The Lerdon Missionary Society appealed to Mr. Austin, a Gentleman of the Church of England, who had done much by his huma nity for the interest of the slave population. That Gen tleman stated, that the moral instruction of Mr. Smith had a tendency to preserve peace an'song the slaves — (Hear, hear). An Hon. Gentleman seemed to hear with repugnance any encomium on Mr. Smith, but he was te peating the words of another: "Non meta hie sermb."— To the instruction of Mr. Smith many owe d their lives who %Tie seeking to destroy his. Tnis was a question on which every man in that House might to lay his hand on his heart, and state what he really thought of the conduct of Mr. Smith. Ile could lay his hand on his heart, and declare lie believed him to be an inno cent, c irtuous man, illegally tried, illegally condemned, and, if death had followed the sentence, it would have disgraced the Government. It would have been an or der for the execution of a man which they had no au thority to give, and it would have involved all con cerned in a charge of murder. No Assembly could refuse to pronounce against a Judge who suffered an innocent man to be unjustly conietimed to death. If there was a detect in the proof of guilt, Mr. Smith had been improperly treated, and the House must agree to the motion of his lion, and Learned Fiend. It was not a question whether Mr. Smith had been imprudent or enthusiastic. No doubt lie was enthusiastic. The love of religion must have been strong to make him go to the Island of Demerara, where he was exposed to a long train of evils. Pat t of the evidence adduced against him had no more to do with his case than the Gunpowder Plot. ‘Vhat bid the Count-martial to do with the evidence of Dr. 'York, relating to a conversation which took place four fears previous? This generous doctor, Turk, had been engaged in a dispute with his neighbour five years previous, and when the life of that neighbour was in danger, he came and related the cause of dispute, fin the purpose of proving his guilt. "If I coold adopt," said Sir James Mackintosh, " any of the old supersti tion, I should prefer never to sail in a vessel 1N ith Dr. Turk. I will give him to them from whom he is descended, and leave him like them to be expelled from the Christian world." Was it evidence for any fair purpose that the private journal had been dragged from Mr. Smith to prove his opposition to slavery ? The Judge-Advocate said—" So abandoned is Mr. Smith, that he is an enemy to slavery—(A laugh). Nothing can please Mr. Smith—slavery displeases him, and he even mentions it in his journal." If hatred of slavery was a reproach, that reproach might apply to Parliament, and every good man in England. The Honourable Gentleman knew Dr. Johnson was not a sectary, or deficient in zeal for the Church. W!, .!: Ur. John son Was at the University of Oxford, be propo:J as a toast, " Success to the first revolt of the Negroes in the Wte,t Indies" The Learned Doctor, by that roast, only meant to exi;ress his ab horrence of slavery. His Honourable Friend, in his impreg nable speech, which he believed to be so from the vain attempt to answer it, had properly stated that martial :law, so soon as tit! necessity ceased, should have been abandoned. It was unlawful to maintain it, when the necessity did not exist. The doctrine of Sir F.dsvard Coke was this; whilst the common law could act, no martial law ought to exist. Sir Matthew Hale laid down the same doctrine. From the time of Richard the Second to the present day, the greatest lawyers had held that martial law should not be resorted to whilst the common law was operative.— There was nothing in the Dutch law, as the Honourable Gentle man supposed, that could alter the construction of the law in the Island of Demarara. lie had seen an order from the States Ge. neral, issued in 1793, stating that military crimes in the Colonies were to be punished by a Council of War, leaving common causes to the common law. If that were so, it was an act of lawless vio lence to try Mr. Smith by a Court-martial, after the necessity for martial law had teased. It was not a question whether the unfelt tuna:e man had one Alderman-like quality of discretion. The question was, whether he bad been guilty of misprision of we:pos. l Now, befozeihat crime could be proved, there must be en overt sot. Was that made out? No. Mr. Smith expected sonic disturbisseW on the arrival of Lord Bathurst's letter ' and be told all be knew. The whole evidence proved Mr. Smith bad acted from the beet' motives. The negroes who gave evidence against him were in fear of their lives • the skeletons of slaves were hanging over their heads; they b e ard the lash of the whip , and had dread upon their minds. After all, they gave but a doubtful character to words they had heard, and which they might have misunderstood. No Judge, on the words thus given in evidence, would have ven tured to tell a Jury to convict a man of high treason. The Right Hon. and • Gentleman then adverted to the cruel manner in which die unfortunate man and his wife had been confined in two small rooms, from the _7th of August to October. Sentinels were constantly keeping watch over him and his wife. After his death, Mrs. Smith *as not allowed to attend his funeral. bin. her companion in misfortune, said, " Is it possible General Murray can deny a poor widow following her husband to the graire?" At four o'clock the next morning, they went, in opposition to the Go ' vernment, and paid the last sad duties. Two of Mr. Smith's hearers —the one a carpenter, the other a bricklayer, both of wham had received marks of kindness at his hands—rtsAved to evince their gratitude by erecting some slight memorial of their respect over his grave, actuated by that sentiment to which an English Poet has , so beautifully alluded— " Yet e'en these bones from insult to protect, Some frail memorial still erected nigh, With uncouth rhymes and shapeless sculpture deck'd, Implores the passing tribute of a sigh." The Authorities of the Island, however, ordered this testimory of respect to be taken down, and forbade any person to imitate their example upon pain of their heavy displeasure. Eighteen days after the death of Mr. Smith, a Resolution was published, condemning the London Missionary. Society, and Lord Bathurst, for having rescued Mr. Smith by procuring his return home. The colony of Demerara were not satisfied with the mere death of the man ; they required that his skeleton should dangle in the wind, to deter any honest conscientious preacher of the Gospel from venturing to land on that spot to correct their morals or instruct their ignorance-( Hear) Mr. SCARLETT confessed that he felt himself un able to concur with a Resolution such as that before the! House, which stigmatised the Colony of Demerara as murderers—(heer, hear). Ile congratulated himself in net possessing the power of declamation or any of those forensic powers which were good for the purpose of inflam ing the passions but for nothing beyond. lie should endeavour to come to a conscientious conclusion according to the facts of the case. Ile was happy in the first place to bear to the ex cellent character of the Chi e f Ju st ic e o f rm. who was a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, which alone was sufficient! to satisfy the world that he w as a Gentleman of education and! honuar. Mr. Smith could not but feel happy that he had such a person :o judge him. The only fault he could attribute to the Court-Martial was, filet they assembled before Martial Law was, p o clai to ed . Mr. Smith was clearly guilty of misprision of treason, and therefore amenable to the laws. The Hon. and Learned Mem- 1 her here read extracts from the evidence before the Court-Martial, in support of his argument. He particularly referred to the testimony of Bristol, and the speech of Mr. Smith himself. He did not mean to impute to the unfortunate Mr. Smith any intention of knowingly acting wrong. But the law held that if a man had knowledge of criminal intention, and did au communicate it, and the act took place, he was guilty of misprision. Now Quamina was fuond in open revolt, and it was proved in a manner that no twelve Gentlemen on their oaths would have rejected, that he communi cated his treasonable intentions to Smith. How then could the Court be blamed? lie contended that the proceedings before the Court were such that it was impossible to lay it open to the censure cast upon it by his Honourable and Learned Friend. lie must at the same time say, that he did not think the sentence upon Mr. Smith was correct according to the English law. He knew not what the Dutch law of that colony might be, but he should certainly have re curium tided that the private journal of Mr. Smith should not be used. 'lire colonists, it should be remembered, acted at the time under the terror of rebel:ion. He implored the House to consider, before they came to a vote of censure to render individuals tufa mous, what would be the probable consequences of such a course in the presetit state of the colony. He should oppose the motion. Ad journ wore so Sill i N ouGtiTatad)N lungro se, but the cries of Question and Ad continued that, after vainly =dem- OW' +sabring to obtain 'a hearing, the lAknei Gentleman was compflee. to Alt down. blr. Secretary CANNING then rose at"] said, that although he , should have preferred a continuance of the ttistussion, still, as he saw that the feeling of the House was against that course, he should move the adjournment o f the Debate-4 Cheers). Th . Debate was accordingly adjourned until this day.—The other Orders of the Day were then dikpoied of, and the House adjourned at Two o'Clock. Tti E EVENING STAR. LONDON. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1824.

This Address he grounded on the supposed innocence of Mr. SMITH and the consequent injustice of his sell. tence. He was followed by Mr. WILMOT-HORTGN, who, in a very able speech, analysed the whole pro ceedings. dwelling particularly on such acts on the part of Mr. SMITH as he thought proved his knowledge of the insurrection. He vindicated the character of the Gentlemen who formed the Court-martial, and clearly shewed, what we long ago asserted (without vindicating its conduct, which we censured), that it was the beat tribunal before which Mr. SMITH could have been brought. The Honourable Member concluded, amidst loud cheers, by opposing the motion, followed by Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH for, and Mr. ScA RLETT against it. The debate, which continued until two o'clock, was then, on the motion of Mr. Secretary CANNING, ad journed to this evening. French Papers of Sunday. with the Moniteur of Mon day, and the Soile of yesterday, reached us this morn ing : the two latter by Express. The discussion on the reduction of the French Rentcs will close to-day. Ac counts from Prague repeat the rumour, that there will be an interview between the Emperors of RUSSIA and AUSTRIA at Carlsbad ; the former, it is said, will be ac companied by Count NEssrcnonE. These Papers are princir ally filled with the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies. In the sitting of the Chamber on Saturday, M. MAST:ONAC read the Report of the Commission appointed to consider the project of law for rendering the Chamber septennial. This Report discusses the two questions whether the Deputies have the power of alteriez the original disposition of the Charter, and whether, having that rower, it would be judicious and beneficial to use it for the Frarpo4e recommemied by the Crown ? Those two questions are allML:red i:1 an affirmative manner, and it is ultimately proposed that the law be adopted. Ati-r the rea:ling of the report; M. &MAXIM CONSTANT moved that the dbczas.iitni bliotild be deferred until Saturday; but it was ultimately fixed for to-morrow, and twenty-three orators were immediately inscribed to speak in suppnit of the project,aad twenty two against it. The complete intertilisture of Ultras and Liberals which the names of the latter present is really curious. The Cams Alai:en:4w quotes the price of the rentes on Monday at 303 f. 66c. but private letters state, that after 'Change hours they were at 104 f. llarnburgh Papers to the tBth ult. have reached us. They announce that the disputes between Russia and the United States, relative a• t''e preposterous claim of the former to the north-war coasr of the American Continent, have been ami cably settled, to the entire satisfaction c,f the respective Statte, whose relations are replaced on the most friendly footing. The French Ansbassador, Count de Fanitosays, and the British Ambassador, will shortly quit St. Petersburgh, on leave of absence 'rie Hen. Mr. CATPCART, Secretary of Legation to the Braid' Em haa.iy, will remain. Father GOeiNgit, who for some years past had delivered religious discourses at St. Petersburgh to numerous auditors, has received orders immediately to suspend them, and to quit, without delay, not only the capital, but the empire. He accordingly set out on the 12th, as it is said, for Berlin. He received ‘2.000 rubles for his travelling expenses. A great number of his late hearers ac companied him the first stage. It is stated, in letters from PAI is, that an application has been made by the Ling of Spain to the French Governmeet, for permission to purchase five ships of war, to be employed against South America. The application, it is said, has been positively re fused by the French Ministers, who have transmitted information of the circumstance to the English Cabinet, accompanied with pro fessions of their disposition to adhere to the position laid down by Mr. CANKINC, viz that Spain, if inclined to atteulpt the reconquest of her late colonies, should be left wholly to her own resources. We understand that the sitting; of the 13:-azil and Portuguese Commissioners have commenced, and that the discus sions have turned, in the preliali:lary meeting, ou the point whe ther the differences of the two countries should be settled by me diation, or by the arguments of the respective Commissioners with out any mediation. The latter course would be preferred, it is said, by that country which bas most reason to hope that the lan cnce of England will be exerted in its favour, but is, on the other hand, so impressed with the importance of a speedy decision, as to deprecate any course likely to cause much dclayl circuutstaLce inseparable from mcdiatiJn. -'~- _ .mss - -,-"- • THE ARMY. • Tesferdsy aftirnoon, at four o'clock, the Duke of Yaks Levee as Commander-in•C'hief, at his (Mc., in the Horse Guard: which win; auended by—Lieutenant-Generals Sir M.
