It wan nownoss f..ur .years since Mr. Canning brought this s.ubjecculnierstheconsidesa ticio of the House. He hoped the Right Hon: Gentle man (Mt. Huskisson) would persevere in the policy of his Right Hon. Ft iend. He wished to know what line of conduct Government was determined to pursue on thi; subject. If the Colonial Legislatures persevered in their opposition, Parliament- had the remedy in - their' own hands. Let them impose an additional duty.

Pteparsd with any answer; A ifuestion was, however, tocome on to-morrow night, which would afford an opportunity of answering this question. His: Rt. Hon. Friend (Mr. Huskisson) wouldthen be 'present. Mr. BERNAL said, he, as a West India proprietor,• should be glad to kno the course-Government meant to pursue on this subjecti,Things could not much longer continue as they were. 'lt warfit that West Lodi* pro-. prietors should know, exactly in what situation they stood, and net continue subject *slurs and eiteePre sentation. If the importation of sugars from Colonies not their own, the Brazils or the M:auritius for instance, was to be encouraged in the Way piopoted by his Hon. Friend, would not this operate as an encouragement to the Slave Trade.? At this very moment it nos carried tin activit y in all the rivers and along the coast of Africa. He had been credibly informed that it was carried on under the protection of the French flag. He knew nothing of the Anti-Slavery Society. but he re. gretted that any such production as this shouldesna-i nate from any 'oofy ; they could dr no gold.. th e ,qo.l lonists might be foolish ; but • they were Britons, end would stand up in defence of their rights. He regrettedthe use of such language as the retitioners had em ployed. Sir A. GRANT said his Honourable. Friend (Mr. Denison) could not d 3 a greater favour to the -West India Body than by presenting Petitions for effectually putting down the Slave Trade. The continuance of that trade was the great source of the evils under which they suffered. The West India proprietors were-most desirous to assist in any measure for improving the condition of the Slaves. Such language, however, was . rather calculated to inflame than to lead to measures of conciliation. Sir IL WILSON said, the only object of the Peti tioners was to improve the condition of the Slaves. They wished to carry into effect the intentions. of the, Government and of Parliament. If this was to do m i s -1 chief, he for one should not be deterred by such insi..l nuations from giving his support to Petitions of this nature. Mr. HUME said, this was a good opportunity for pressing on the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr.' Huskiness) the policy of equalizing the duties on sugar, whether from the East or the West Indies. He did not approve of irritating language. if the dudes were qualined, the opportunity would be taken away of constantly taunting the West India proprietors with the privileges which they enjoyed over the other growers of sugar. Mr. WARBURTON said, that if superior facilities were given to those Colonies which did not entry on the Slave Trade, much advantage would , arise . from it. Mr. DENISON said he meant to hold nut no threats, but he still continued of opinion that the Colo- 'gin 'which iontliaed refractory ought to have some small additional duty imposed on them. He never meant to allude to any Colonies but their own. His Honourable Friend (Mr.•Bernal) had quite mistaken what fell :from him on this point. Seeing that the Right honourable Gentleman (Mr. Huskisson) was now in his place, he begged again to be informed by the 'I Right Honourable Gentleman what course Government I meant to pursue upon this important subject? Mr.. HUSKISSON said he was sorry he had not been in the House when the Petition was presented. It was not his intention to have been in the House that day ; but having received a letter from the Member for Win chelsea (Mr. Brougham) stating that he meant to put certain questions relative to the present state of Slavery in the West Indies, he, thought it his duty to come down to the House. Without meaning . any disrespect to the Honourable Gentleman (Mr.Denison) he would suggest to hip that it might be as convenient to wait, till the Member for Winchelsea appeared in his place. Mr. W. S.IJTH said his Hon. and Learned Friend (Mr. Brougham) would arrive in a few moments. Mr. WILMOT-HO RTONsaid,that as reference had been made to what was intended to take place to morrow, he begged to stale, the motion which he had •to bring forward was not of such a nature as meld kid to- sof general ilieenssion. Mr. A. BARING said, be felt at sensibly as any man that the House and the Government should; at length, come to some definite understanding.of what was intended to be done on this great question. His opinion was, that hitherto a reluctant Government had been goaded, on, by a cry out of doors, to do what their own good sense convinced them could not be done to the extent desired. He wished to see the situation, of the slaves in the West India Colonies ameliorated, but what the Society from which this resition•came were driving at, wasahe total abolition 9t the state of slavery in the West Injies, the. ppinithen to be considered ; was. would the Governrnenkal present force that ques - lion ? if so; they should at once declare their intention. ' The measure's-taken for putting down the slave trade had been a source 61 great - , expense, ea would appear to-the-Finance Committee, if.-they examined the (Ines iion. They bad taken upohthernselves to do the police duty of the whole world in the suppression of the slave trade, which; after all, was still carried on to a very ' considerable eitenr. • - * Mr. W. HORTON said a few words in esplanstion. . Dr. LUSEHNGTON said, he felt great surprise at what had fallen from his Honourable Friend (Mr. Baring). No Speech . could" calculated to do More mischief Than One contaking' such insinuations; His • Hon. Friend spoke of the expense and the loss of life oc casioned by their efforts to put down the Slave. Trade. What was this in effect, but asking them to retrace their steps? He knew that the trade was still carried on under the'proteetion of tlie•Freirch flag, principally by Portugal and Spain, but *no' British subject dare carry it on. • Much good bad hitherto•been done. and a gread deal more would be effected, when the. British Government was vested by treaty, as it would be in a, short time, with more effectual powers._ The PkotiVe• Was pledged to 'the Resolution's brotight forward - by Mr. Canning four years bdck, and be should like •to• see the Minister who would dare to propose a depar.' tore from them. Mr. Canning never said that slavery was. to be perpetuated in the West Indies, though it was impossible to Xa at what , period it could fi nally be got rid of .. • . . •y.. - • ... Me. BROUGHAM "said; k was korhytiltlifearioirs debates bad taken -pike upon this lertportant !object, both in that and the other HoUse•of Parliament. The consequence was, that ceitain...Retolotions had been passed by both Houses, that Instructions were sent out to the Colonies, and they were inforthed that certain Measures would be pursued, unless they should be rill dried unnecessary by the conduct of the Colonial Legis iatures with respect to the slave populaioo, and that this was the-only way by which they could prevent di rect legislative, interference on the part of the British Parliament. The question he had' to put to theitight Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Huskisson) was' this, whether what had been dont by the Colonies, in consequence of these instructions, or what had taken .place generally, appeared to the GovcromentAt bome i to.saiisfacto:y as to preclude the necessity of any further priieeedings, - or. Shy further pledges on the pareof"thi GOvethMent? • Mr. HUSKISSON• said, the iwily'sialvier be • could give the Hon. and Learned Geodesists', watt* refer him to.the.very ample information laid upon the table of -the Hosse. in -the two Sessions which succeeded thatof 182. The course pursued in those two Sessions would be followed up in this, by laying before the House any 'further Returns whielfhad been receivedfrom the Colo together with copies of the.. instructions. that had beeo,sent out. He was now ready.tp state to the House in what COlonies a markedimprovement had taken ISCe, s- if the House desired he should do so. The Hon. tad Learned Gentleman shook 11is head - at this propo sition. He (Mr. IL) should; therefore. defer this state- meat to•some future opportunity. Therese:mid be no doubt that the Resolutions adopted. by both Houses of Parliament in 1822, did contemplate giving, ultimately, to the slave population of their . Colonies all the civil rights' of other British subjects—(Hear!)--so directing at thesame time the measures towards the attainment .of this object, as not to interfere with the.right of private proper ty. Ministers bad but little Choice as to the course they were to pursue. The language of Parliameni was clear and explicit. The instructions sent out to the Colonies were founded on the Resolutions. These in structions were laid upon the table of the House, and were adopted by Parliament. In.some of the Colonies theinstructions had been carried into effect. Some had I 'manifested some reluctance, from whieh, however, no practical inconvenience arose. In those Colonies having Legislatures of their own, there .was some- opposition; but a tendency soon manifested itself to' approximate to the views of Government and of the Horsie. 'To persons in their situation at honie it was. difficultle db termine how far they- ought to girt thelanitionerkthe Clown to measures passed by the Colonial Legislatures inconsequence of the instructions sent out. To, some cities the sanction of the Clow* was given; in others the tx• pediency of further measures was suggested. Gentlemen must not be surprised it :tune difficulties were, and coo tinned still to be experienced, -seek they recollected'the peculiar circumstances of the - case„ and the peculiar situation and . habits of .those with whom they had to deal. Some of these diffictilties had no doubt arisen' from what had taken place upon this subject- at home, and from misrepresentations which bad got abroad. Do what they would, 'i must be recollected 0 1 4 after all, the intentions of the.Leghlature at home inuit : he executed through the resident of thq colonies, through those who were themselves owners of slaves. It was no . doubt a misfortune that they did not possess the means of expediting more effectually the measures sanctioned by Parliament. But were they, under esistiag circum stances, to.push them too rapidly, it might have occa sioned irretrievable confusion—(Hear.) So long as he had the honour of filling his present situation, and while Parliarderit adhered to the resolutions they had passed, he should continue to advance steadily towards the object they all . had in view, not losing sigh,t.ax the awe time of what was due to those who had property in the unfortunate human beings, whose contlitioii it Was their wish to ameliorate. It was fit the Finance QOM.. mitteeshould makeinquiry into the expenditaie sioned by this necessary work of putting down the Slaie Trade. By thus showing to other. nations the. expense both of life and treasure to which they had been put, it would tend to remuve.the imputation which some did not hesitate to cast upon this'country of tieing, influenced in 'their exertions by merely selfish motives. The expense both . of life and money was very consi derable ; and-he regretted to say that the extent of their' success hithereo had.radt been. at all commensurate, to. eithefthe wishes or the..tzei (ions of the country. In a struggle like this, t :a spekles of smuggling,.' where the temptations tci. cot/resit the offence Were so great. it not .perhaps to be wondered at, if allt.their naval exer; iions had hitherto been insufficient to pat an effectual' stop to jt. Government could have no other desire but to carry into a ffect the wishes of Parliament. lie should * in the course * of the Session, lay before the House such further information as Government was in possession of. They would then have an opportunity of considering what further it might be necessary to do. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that with respect to th. object, of finally abolishing slavery in these Colonies at some period there could be no difference of opinions Having put an end to the slave trade; ad far los they were concerned, it WAS their bounden duty to persevere until it was completely put down. The answer of the Right Honourable Gentleman, considering his usual perspicuity, did not appear to him silfficir.ntly clear. What be ,wished to know was, whether what had hitherto been done by the local legislature., in pure seance of the instructions sent out, left any ground for complaint on the part of his Majesty's Government? If the Government was dissatisfied, he should bring 'the subject once more before the House alter tl , e Recess. He concurs( d with the Right Honourable Gastiemari, that it wbuld not he advisable to precipitate the pro ceedings of the local legislatures. That it must be their object at some time finally to aboli the Colonies there could be nn doubt. To this. object, having once put an end to the Slave Trade, they . must direct their efforts, as. Mr. Pitt and Mr. Dtiodet geknowz 'edged. He had no hesitation *Avowing hii.Opitiion e that hitherto the Colonies had nradelsitt.an tibleprogress tor/al-di ibleiend,' if, Indeed, they mike any progress at. all.

Nu pet son, he believed, would go solar as tio say that they mqst first settle a scale of compensation. On this principle the Slave Trade would:never have been abolished. • It Was not thus that the 'Legislature acted; they first put down the trade, leaving it free to those to come forward after who might think they. haa•ol claim to compensation. It was said, while the ques tion had been under consideration, that damage to the amount of many thousand tons of shipping would be suffered bi- individuals; but alter all.no more.. one -claimant • came forward. • All this shipping was absorbed - in smuggling or privateering, which ,had been throWn out of employment by the suppression of the Slave Trade. Why not act upon the same . principle now ? 'They never • hoard of -any demand for compensation in consequence of the alterations made by the Right Honourable Gentleman in the silk trade. Were the proprietors of slaves the only class who were entitled to compensation ? Did the, House forget . Sir Robert Peers,Bill.? a most hui Mane and proper one. That Bill interfered between Master and servant. It prohibited the employment of Children in factories, except at certain hours. The proprietors of factories must thus have sustained some injury in their property, hut yet they never heard a word of compensation. The point on which he should first endeavour to induce the House to legislate, was the admission of slave evidence. This had the recom mendatio.i of the highest authoriees, and it Was a re form which easily executed itself. The question of compensation would turn almost entirely on the single point of compulsory manumission. They should not wait atingle day to afford the colonies an opportunity of acting in this matter themselves. If he Was not satisfied by the answer lie should hear from the Right Hon. Gentleman, the House would consider him as having given notice that he would bring this subject under their consideration after the Recess. Mr. W. SMITH expressed a hope that a copy ofthe 'dispatch. tent out by the Right Hon.' Gentleman (Mr. Huskisson) last spring, would be laid upon the table, and made hezeafter the subject of serious consideratiop.
