Nothing-of interest °centred this morning in Appeals. • Lord KING presented a Petition from the Town of Hales: worth, in Suffolk, praying for the gradual, abolition of Colonial Slavery ; which Petition was laid upon the table of the:HOUR% Earl GROSVENOR said that be had a /Petition to pres ent to their Lordships from many respectable persons, inhabitants of the ancient •Berough of Bury St. Edmund's, who prayed the II aose.to, adopt such measures as ahoulal ensure the gradual but entirealboli tion of Slavery; and hoping that, in the meantime, steps mig ht be Warm to ameliorate the condition of our Colonial Slaves. \*hats he wished to see attempted was only in accorilanse wit!: justice to the slaves, without one iota of injustice to the proprietors. - The' Petitioners, on where behalf he addressed their Lorslshigs, did hots :desire an irantediate, but rather a gradual abolition of slaveey in th a t Colonieatbuthe would abstain at present from further remarks on. the subject. Ile must, however, now declare that he deprecated= tilf ittainths at secrecy, or concealnietit.of the truth, in great na , clonal affairs. And this reminded him too foreathly of the policy. which was pursued with regard to Ireland, when, in his opinion,. the true question ought in the very first instance to have been gone into. Ile would only add that if their Lordships wished to & jus tice to themselves, if they'svished to do justice to their entiotty,; they must, upon all great subjects, go into the fullest inquiry in such eases. He would-distinctly say that unless their Lordships at once abolished all slavery, they never would put an entire end to the Slave Trade! Front the moment that Fa: land once decl :red that not ono of her subjects, be his complexion or his condition what it ought, should he 'offered to caist as a slave, from ;that moment, .hut not till then. the.great Dagon of slavery wo u ld .fall prostraieto the ground. .Why, for ittstiince, not substitute flee labour for Ida: very? ft was well understood that his Majesty's Ministers had sent out instructions of the most Moderate character to the Colonial Go vernments; for, lie would ask,touklintthiog be; postiblyanore meta derate than the instruction* he arivettedto ? His cutther :deuce on the subject, which he forbore from going now into, must,.lidwever; be understood to depend on his knowing if his Majyaty's Ministers sere really sincere in their determination to prosecute the course which they assumed' to hate adopted. • !rhos, therefore, the sop thriven out to Cerlierus bad not taken ; for these instructioos were • not followed in the spirit of them. lie trusted that a Noble Earl opposite (Bathurst) would on this occasion give an explaoation of the conduct of his Majesty's Cfovernmeilt. • The abovementioned Petition was then read by the .Noble Mosier, of it, and afterwards hid upon the tablet:4ll:le House. ... ~. 4a11.434a1-11,11LS:r saitl,,thit in ripug in his place, he wouldnof trouble their.listilships. at any length; and had not the Noble Earl teemed to challenge an eaplination* from his Majesty's linisters on - presenting the Petition now -upon the table, he certainly.should, not have utteretrasiugle word. Now. however; be wished to take this opPortunity to deform their Lordships that to-rnortow se'n ,dight he should baye,the honour to lay upon the table, by Ids Ms iebty'a command, some papers'contiecfed with the state of the Ne groes in the West Indies. lie wouki then also take that oppor tunity for explaining to their Lordships the measures w hichh 4 d h a d been been taken lay Ns Majesty's Government for the moral improve ment and ;lie general amelioration of the Negro population in the West Indies. • - The Earl of LIVERPOOL said that he had the honour of pre senting to their Lordships, by his Majesty's command, Copies of eomniunications which had taken place between the Governments of England, France, and Spain, respecting. the Independent Colo nits of South America. :It insist (the Noble 'part continued) be fresh in the recollection of their Lordships, that the subject matter of these papers was adtel ted to in his Majesty's Speech at the open ing of the Seasion-; but certain circumstances then exbaed which I would bore rcialcred their production premature ; but as those cir 7 curnstaaces no longer existed, there could hteno,objection to lay the papers now before the . House.' Ile should only add, that such ar tatieeirents were already mode as would ensure their being all printed in the course of to-mitrrow. - The A i ..rquis af LA N,SI/t /W N here inquired if the Noble Ea-1 intended to tomul any motion in.atioseatieoceif the papers he hail just laid upon the table of the Milo? The Earl of Llvgapoin, had no clifficulty in Stating, that he bad at present no intention of founding any sort of proceeding on . _ the pipets be Aid Vesented io the'House. . The Marquis - of •LANSDOWN said, that .early in the pr. sent Session he bad given their Lordships fair notice of his intention to Whit forward theaaate 'of 'Our relations with the Ifidependent Cr tonics of South America, should the information to he funliAcd by • kis Majesty's Ministers not wove satisfactory on the subject. lye could not possibly be aware that the papers laid on the table by the Noble Earl were exactly of such a nature ai to induce him to forego the Motion he had intended to make;" but as he -wished his Ma jesty's Ministers to be allowed time to make themselves quite mas ters of the subject, he would abstain from giving notice of any Mg don now. He would therefore read over the Papers,which the No ble Earilaid upon the table of the House, to ascertain what they contained, send then withhold or renew the Motion he . promised. The Earl of LIVERPOOL gave notice, that on Tuesday next he intended to move for .a Select. Committee to inquire into t'.e Office of Clerk of Parliament ;. and their Lordships were ordered _ tube summoned for that day.* The Marquis of LASSDOWN now referred to the conversa tion that bad taken place on a former day respecting the withdraw- . mem of-bounties on the manufacture of the coarser kinds of linen in Ireland, and assured their Lordships that the consequence was' an increased export trade during the last two years. The measure had operated as a stimulus to industry ; it was followed by the esta `lilishmentof linen halls;, and also of spinning schools; but, in gene ral, be deprecated all legislative interference with trade. It was 1 one thing, however, to enact such, duties , and it was anoth er thi ng to withdraw them ; but lie hoped • that their Lordshita, in any pro. spective measure, would reflect well upon the increase of expo:a from Cork and Llinertalt t-for he spoke.frorn his own experience in Ireland last summer, which experience was the result or much in quiry and conside• a ins of the subject to which be now called the attention of Noble fewda. The Noble Marquis then moved for additional • Renal ns in•elucidat ion of his temar ks, which were ord. l'ed to made. — • The Eariof LIVERPOOL, in explanation, said tliA it was in tended to adopt the same Sysieni I.oiii with regard to tine and.coarst. Irish linens, by a redlietion not immediate, but'gradual. The mea sure was certainly one of great importance; for if the ble-aing of peace were continued to us, the most beneficial effects might be ex pected from the accumulation of capital on all the branches of nu tionatindustry.
