Wellingmn, on his return from his Continental ser vices.. It was now upwards of five years ,that that illustrious Officer was absentrfrom.his country on his most important command'. At the commencement, and during a great part of that period, the whole of Spin, and a great part of Portugal, was in the pos session:of the -French. Before he quitted those re gioas, there. was not a single Frenchman in arms left •in the Peninsula. The Duke of Wellington uni formly continted at the scene of action, although he %ad' the sortie inducements to return home occasion ally as other Officers, and especially to receive, as they did, the grateful acknowledgments of their fel e low subjects, those ebullitions of public gratitude, whiCh ware spontaneously manifested by individuals of all ranks and descriptions. The Duke of Welling , : ton resisted all these temptations, and at the close or I each campaign be allowed that liberty and indul. genee to fibers which he denied to himself. He had now worked dut•by .dint of arms the salvation of those conntriei; lbegreat object to which his efforts were/directed. These were topics on which he felt it was unnecessary-to trouble their Lordships, whom the records of his , triumistain_glorious succes. sion Witt-become familiar. 'lli the skill and prudence of His occasional retreats, his jgreat military talents appeared as conspicuous, Stivirlisis most splendid vie torier_and glorious'advatces a and they had at length to congratitlate themselves °tithe happy and auspi tiotis"&iftination of his immortal labours, involving not btafthe independence and security of the Penin sula,* but the deliverance of the Continent of Europe 4rotta. that State of thraldom and degradation in which she so 'long had suffered. Without fat ther preface, thereforeb he irould move.- 4 4 That the Thatiks and Congratulations of this House be given to Field Marshal the Duke of Wel lington, upon his return from the Continent of Eu rope • and for the great ond eminent service he had rendered his Majesty and the Public ; and that the Lord Chancellor be ordered' tla communicate the said Vote of Thanks to the Duke of Wellington in his place." The Earl of DARNLEY expressed his cordial concurrence with the motion, and suggested, in order to give .the greater solemnity and importance to the occasion, that their Lordships should appear in their robes. The question was then put, and the motion voted mem. duo. SLAVE TRADE- His Royal Highness the Duke of GLOUCESTER hid on the table a number of. Petitions, praying for Vie Abolition, of the Slave Trade. And, ! among the rest, one from the inhabitants of the City of .London; which, on the motion of his Royal Highness, was read, and expressed the regret with which the Peti. tioners bad observed that silo express itipulation was contained in the articles of the liefinitite Treaty of Peace for the abolition of horrid traffic, but ra ther that it seemed to be cooniied at by the High Contracting Parties.... • • - . His Royal Highnirsa l the Doke of Suswc, Lord _ HOLLADO, and several other Noble Lords presented Petitions of a.similar nature from Various places. •Loral GRENVILLE then rose, andafter moving thaethe humble Address of that House' of the 9th of May last, to his Raga! iiighneas she Prince• R egent, with the !Lower thereto, be read ; and , the same, being complied -with r his r Lordshiti proceeded to make the motion• of -which be had given notice, re garding the Article in the .Deftaitive.Treaty of Peace, which allows France tocontinue the Slave Trade for ,tve years. "A his stipulatiou oa.the part of our Go vernment, he argued, was not- only an act sanction ing injustice and crtselty, but directly contrary to the expressed wishes of Parliament and the promise of hit Royal Highness the Prince Regent, as declared in the Papers that had been read ; . and, moreover, was contrary to the generstl with of the People of chit country, as was evident from the qumerous Petitions on the table. He was of opinion, that, supported as .we were in the late contest, by the Emperors of Rus sia and Austria, and-the King of Prussia, aed giving .law, not receiving it from France, we must have suc ceeded, if a proper stand bad been made, in with bolding not merely front that country the power of continuing this inhuman traffic, but in putting a stop to it wherever it• was carried on. Was Parliament that bad toted the extirpation of this trade, and this land of freedom which cried out against its injustice, to be made accessories to, and abettors of slavery ?—. France has.at present no Slave Merchants, the article alluded to must therefore have a prospective view, and be of the most fatal tendency. His Lordship concluded by moving for copies of such parts of the dispatches from the British Minister employed to ne: gociate the Definitive Treaty of Peace, as related to -the Slave Trade. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, in an eloquent speech ' , proceeded to combat the arguments advanced by the Noble Lord ; and asserted, that however the House -.may agree to the principle contendedfor, and respect ing which there has .been much enaggeration, the Noble Lord bad completely misrepresented the spirit and purpose of the A.rticle in the Treaty. The fair view of the question is,' to consider what would have. been the case provided no such clause had been intro :. duced. Would not France have carried it on How can it be said that the stipulation is of no avail rf‘uthich states, th;t after the stipulated period, it shall !.,totally tease? With respect to our dictating to France the subject, he contended, that no nation pos -4 Awed a right to dictate to another upon the subject ; foe upon that principle you might insist upon the' Abolttionuf the Inquisition in Spain. That a recti 4.,tudirin moral principles is no justification for plung ing the country into a war upon that score; come ' ..queptty;you have no right to continue it, much more to'tntorce and dictate to others at the point of thiO isayooet; He professed his opinion ever *as, teat the • Abolition of- the Slave Trade would be bensiircial at well ds'tietiTableto this country ; but it is quite ano- 1 • .chef thing to make that the ,ins qua acn to Fran* :wpm Whickber colonies are. ao be restored. given fsvereyetrto .adopt this, you could totimifirce It to " Owe colonies-that ontrhe is the possesstee of others. c His •Lordship defended she pp,lics of abolishing. it uni -ersilly at theyperiotof isodeats, instead of tn • .cursing at risk . by instetist spoil. its inikueitiate aboli tion-4 and observori, sterating ,whot bed !wen of t h e .faich.to bet rep -eaecutiog that part al the Treaty, that good faith is ever implied in the execution of every Treaty, and there was no just rea son to doubt it in this instance. He then proceeded ~ .. to thew the declamd prieciele upon which the nego dation was framet, wis for the purpose-of obtaitung a general peace. The Noble Lord must know, that if you require Fl•anee to snake sacrifices of territory and kingdoms - which Ilittexed her national vanity, Ake has A right :to demand ;emission from yeti.-- When We consider that thelate Government of France sanctioned and promoted the Trade, can we altoge ther wonder if a little reluctance should lurk in the present ? If you proceed as r p e a c i rended by the Noble Lord, you must be pre far the alterna tive of war; and supposing even that, erhat would your Allies say to such a condition ? Much more, he contended, had been accomplished in the last fourteen months towards the abolition than in all the preceding time. It was'well known ' that under the late Go vernment a positive refusal was given to inserting the subject as an article in the Treaty, in 1806. He then noticed and lamented the failure of the Noble Mar quis (Wellesley) opposite, in attempting to obtain and conciliate this point in Spain ; and though he censured both the conduct of the Spanish and Portu guese-Goyernments, still he could not forget their patriotic exertions in the common cause. He next dwelt upon our having obtained the sanction of Sweden, Denniurk, and Holland, to abolish this traffic : the last Power, in particular, the quistion affected most vitally. Here, then, were great and positive advantages obtained. The stipulation he allowed to be very important, and Ministers had done the utmost t 6 obtain the, best terms ; and they had struggled hard for more advantages. on this sub ject : but the present were important and defined, not general and loose, like those with Portugal.- -It was his firm conviction that the French Govern ment had a sinceit intention bf abolishing it, by pre paring the minds of the colonists for that measure.— That there exists in the breasts of our Allies a fa. vourable disposition towards the abolition, which would have been endangered by pursuing any other measure. He insisted that after the glorious results of the last campaign, followed by the restoration of the House of Bourbon, it was the general opinion that an immediate peace was desirable ; and thought much more would be accomplished by management in regard to the slave trade, than by strong measures; and therefore objected to the production of the Pa pers and information moved for, as tending to ember. rass and injure the nespciation, and furnish those who were dispord, with the means of-throwing ins. ptdinteets in the way ; and concluded by stating, that .if you attempted to force the measure you net* could expect cdtdiality. Lord HOLLAND denied the conclusions that hot been drawn by the Noble Lord, and considered the, reason: advanced for the conduct of Ministers, ;nob* sequence of the reluctance of the French GoveriMiente to be slims yin th e extreme ; and asserted that the Noble Earl had contradicted his own arguments against the production of the information, by refer ring continually to papers that had been laid before the House. With respect to our Making it a•sine qma Ross, he would Ask in reply, was the French Go vernment prepared to make it so.? He eirald not allele& the analogy that had been attempted to be made between the present and former periods, .which he contended was invidious. His Lord ship stated two different favourable opportunities that had occurred, but could not be embraced, in consequence of the measure at that time of the Abolition being incomplete. He .considered the cession of the island of Guadeloupe as a boon, and we in, return received their sanction to the Aboli tion ;—and Denmark was understood to have de-, dared herself favourably before. The insertion of the stipulation was worse than its omission, as we lite rally furnished France *with the means of carrying it on. He hoped the report he had heard was not true of that Government, that it had refused the in sertion in the public prints, of the Address of that House, and likewise all discussion; on the subject.— He contrasted the situation of this country four months back, compared with that of five years, and, insisted upon it that we were forming a complete new West India Establishment for France, and en abling her to carry on that traffic. He ridiculed the idea that, because we had taken years to abolish it, therefore the French Government would use that ar gument. He considered that this country had de graded itself by the • insertion of the article is the Treaty. His Lordship contended that we were jus. tified in urging the - bolition of the Slave Trade, and declared that he would have consented to almost any sacrifice, so that we had retained the settlements of Senegal and Goree, which would be completely fortifying them in the means of carrying,it on ; and wished that the punishment inflicted for the offence of carrying on the Slave Trade had been made piracy. —He concluded by recommending Parliament to be ever on the alert on this important subject ; and in. sisted on the necessity of the production of the Papers moved for. After some further debate, in which the Earls of WRSTMORLAND I GREY, BATHURST, and SKLKIRK, and .the Marquis of LANSDOWI/14 took part, the House ;divided, when there appeared—For the Motion 27-r Ai l pinst it 62. HOUSE OP COMMONS. -Lord CASTLEREAGH bras& up certain Papers relative. to the Negotiation, amongst which was the Decree of the Prince Sovereign of the Netherlands. They were ordered - to fie on the table. ' Mr. WHITBREAD brought op a Bill for amending the Hol born Division Sewers Bill, which was read a first time. Several of the annual Returns relative to Exports and Imports, were presented from the Custom House. The Army Prize Money Bill was read a third time, and passed. The Apprentice Bill went through a Committee; report on Wednesday. A !Mt number of Petitions were presented on the subject of the Slave Trade—their general prayer Aral, that all possible efforts might yet be Made to effect the total abolition of that hor rible traffic. Amongst them were. those from Uxbridge, Poole, Woburn, Boating, Anted, Thames Ditton, leer, Southgate, Ket tering, and the county of Stafford. They were severally ordered to.be read, and to lie on the table. Mr. ROSE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to prevent the em bezzlement of property belonging to Greenwich kitispitaL IMPRISONMENT FOl5 DEBT. Mr. BENNETT presented a Petition from the widest of a person named Booth, who died while imprisonstifor debt in the King's Bench—k was similar to that presented to the House of Lords, by Lord Stanhope—and prayed for the abnlition of the practice of imprisoning for debt under Melons Presets. Several other Petitions to the sarnieffeet were presented, and ordeted to lie on the table. Mr. P. MOORE, oil presenting two of the Petitions in "Ow tiou, gave notice, that to-morrow he should submit a motion to the House for effectuating t::e object to which they alluded. • THANKS TO TOE DUKE OP I.VRILI,INGTON• Lord CASTLEREAGH said, he wow rose .to give notice of a motion for tle thanks of the Howe to hisV r os the Duke irWelirnaton to-tr.orrow.. (Mars . • - Mr. . WYNNE-- 01 Why not now 1" Lord CASTLEREAGH said, he should have been ready now to proceed, but that it was usual to give a notice. ( Proceed, ?striver', from all tam of the 'lleum.) The Nobie Lord said, seeing it was the sense of the Honst 4 he would immediately proceed. (Hear, hear.) In crafting Gentlemen's attention to the late contest, its important events, and the glo rious results to which it had- been brought--results chiefly arising from the splendid achievements of the Noble and Illustrious individual, the subject of the present motion, he had to remind them of what had more the appearance of romance than reality. It would, on this occasion, be ennecessary for him to enter at length into a recapitulation of the glorious services and achievements of the illustrious Duke. — Never, perhaps, had a war been conducted with stick undeviating success as hid that part of the late con test which had been conducted under the immediate superintendence of the Noble Duke • as in no one instance had his operations failed of ledding lustre and glory on the British name, and on the troops which he commanded. (Hear, hear.) Tproughout the whole of the contest lie had been always victori ous, and at the end of it had been received with ac clamations by the popul : ice, even in the enemy's ca pital. His whole military career had been unclouded by defeat, and he was found at the termination of it to be in possession of the gratitude even of our ene mies. (Hear, hear.) Another circumstance also ought to be attended to, the late war had been one of thidescription wholly different from those of former times. Instead of returning annually to his country and friends, and solacing himself in the midst of do mestic comforts during the winter, our illustrious hero had not once visited his country or friends dur • the whole contest, and had always been actively employed both in winter and summer. Like Mid borough he had frequently had the honour of re ceiving the Thanks of a grateful country—nay, he had even exceeded Marlborough in that respect.— That illustrious hero received the Thanks of Parlia ment six tintes,.but the Duke of Wellington had re ceived that distinguished honour twelve times. Un der these circumstances no arguments from him would . be necessary to induce the House to agree to the motion with which he should conclude, namely— " That the Thanks of this House be given to Field Marshal his Grace the Duke of Wellington, upon his return to his native country, for the eminent services Performed by him, as Commander in Chief 'of the Allied Army • and congratulating him upon the ter mination of th e contest." Mr. W. WYNNE seconded the motion, which was agreed to sew. ton. The Thanks were ordered to be presented to his Grace by a Committee of the House, consisting of L 5 Members, amongst whom were Lo;cICASTLIGERACIII, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. Rosa, Mr. BATHURST, Mr. WHITBREAD, Mr. CAP:NINO, Mr. WILBERFORCE, Lord MILTON, Mr. PONINIERY, and Mr. WYNNE. PETITIONS. Mr. WHITBREAD . presented a Petition from the town of Bedford, on the Slave Trade Abolition. On its being brought up, Mr. Osaoana censured some part of its con tents, which gave it the nature of a party measure, by , finding fault with the conduct of Government ; many ' persons who were consequently informed of this cir cumstance, bad declared they would not have signed it, if they had been aware of the passages in question. Mr. Wurransats briefly replied, and. the Petitio was placed on the table. Mr. WILBERFORCE presented an enormous Pe tition from the inhabitants of London and Middle sex, on the same subject. The Hon. Gentleman std. ed, that it contained 36,720 signatures, which had been obtained within the last three or four days, and added, that if it had remained a little longer, there was no doubt that the number would have been dou bled. It was received and read. PRESERVATION OF PEACE IN IRELAND. On the motion of Mr. PEEL, that this Bill be read a first time, Mr. R. S. CAREW said, he hoped he should be allowed to trespass on the attention of the House for a few moments, as he felt himself called upon to cor rect a statement of the Right Hon. the Secretary for Ireland, which, if allowed to pass uncontradicted when coming from such an authority, would impress she public with an idea, that the county he had the honour to represent was in such a state of disturbance as to call, with others, for the enactment of this new Bill. •He did not mean to object to the Bill ; on the contrary, he approved of it, and only la mented the circumstances which made it necessary for Government to interfere. But he begged leave to state, in the most unequivocal terms, that there is no part of the Empire more tranquil than the county of Wexford ; and for the truth of this statement he appealed tothe Resolutions ofthiGrandJury, of which he was Foreman the last Spring Assizes. He appealed to the recorded charge of the Judge to that Grand Jury, and finally, to the Right Hon. Gentleman himself, whether there is any part of Ireland where the internal . police is better regulated, or where there is less ob struction to the acts of Government or individuals. Sir F. FLOOD, though he highly approved. of the Bill, could not suffer the observations of his Right Honourable Friend (Mr. Peel) en a former evening, to piss without contradiction. He was totally in correct when he said that he (Sir F.) had no cause to rejoice at the superior tranquillity of W:Aford, as the Grand Jury had represented it to be in rather an alarming state. The statement of the Grand Jury was exactly the reverse; and this statement was con firmed by the resolutions of the Magistracy and Gen try—in short, there was no county, either in Eng land or Ireland, where fewer offences were committed than in Wexford ; as a proof of which, there had been only one execution there for the last eleven years, and that was for murder. lie therefore saw no reason -why his county should be stigmatised, because distur bances had prevailed in other districts. Mr. PEEL replied at some length, and referred to official authorities to prove.the truth of his previous assertions—one:of theist was• a string of resolutions from the 'bitigisttates of Wextor4 on the :Ist of March last, - 1n which they .regretted the disgraceful outrages that: had occurretLia severakpartt of tat county, and hoped that .Parliament would s.tnctton their efforts to - cheek them. The Right Hori..6en doom related die case of the wurdes of a man in his owa house on the 13th of Ftbratary, and ioncluded with insistiag, that his former stateas:at was fully born out by facts. Sir F. FLOOD explaimed ; after which tl , e Bill was read a first time, and ordered for a second read.. ing on Friday. Sir S. ROtfILLY presented a Pc;ition from the - 1 1 Vislners - for debt in Monmouth gaol, which was or. dered to lie on the table. IiULITARY IUNISII3t Mr. M. SUITON, seeing an Honourable Gen tleman in his place, who had asked him a question oa a former evening, respecting the Hogging of a MAD !Of the Warwickshire Militia, and to which he could sweat the moment give a positive answer, wished to ' know whether his authority for asking that questiod was founded on an article that had appeared in Weeklj Newsp_aTer Mr. BENNETT answered in the affirmative. Mr. M. SUTTON then said, that he was pect: liarly desirous that the subject should be fully ex plained. He had taken the greatest pains to enquire into the facts, and had found them to be most grossiy exaggerated. They were simply these—a person of bad character, who *as the Surgeon's servant, had been before tried, and sentenced to be flogged fix some offence, but the punishment had been ternittrd ; almost immediately after which he committed a gross breach of discipline, by using . the most outrageeus language to his master, and threatening to sulks him. For this he was again tried by x Genrr,l C , Martial anTsentenced to receive three hundredlaq On receiving the first hundred, it was true. that had dropped down senseless ; but the calm was, that he had forced his -clothes into his mouth so largeq, as to produce temporary suffocation; 'and on Via I being removed, he got up and walked to the hasl4.- tel. These facts, he trusted, would remove the lib. 'pression which had been made it. the country by the question which had been asked in that House. Tie 'Right Hon. Gentleman concluded with a high eolo. gium on the regiment for its active services in Ire land and elsewhere, and on the knovra character of its officers for humanity. Lord BROKE, as Colonel of the Regimeat,spote highly of his officers and men, reprehended the faint statement that had appeared, and declared his cow viction, that there was not a regiment in the service mote famed for regularity and discipline . Mr. BENNETT in reply said, that thesitielebed led him to think that some official exposition was neces sary. He laasented that any improper reflect had been cast on the Lieutenant-Colonel ; bat the stigma would haye remained unconttadicted, except for able esplanation that had taken place. This,however, had Oerfeeily aatisfied him, that there was no fOnnstska for the charge. laard caelosll. w ream= OniERAREAGHL THAN s E a S ihe D d lvrxix as dd by his koyal Highness the- Prince Regent to com municate to the House that his Royal H4imess had appointed a Jay of Public Thanksgiving to Almighty GOD for vouchsafing to restore Win th e !lessons of Peace.. 1 hat his • Royal Highness, anxious to give all due solemnity to the cavemen, had intimated his intention of going in public procession to St. Paul's Cathedral on rhat day, and had commanded that the same be communicated SO that Howse, in order that the usual measures may be adopted for -the conve nience of the Member*.

Coinma —Agreed to. • is Loidship then handed up a list of six Leen Mem. hers, to form the Committee.. SLAVE TRADE. Mr. WILBERFORCE said, he rose under ftyl ings peculiarly oppressive, and with a very bow heart, to discharge the duty imposed ur er billl rela tive to the subject before the House. tbe oa t i ons he had made for the long period of twerity-dx years, and when he had hoped that the object he . had steadily kept in view would have been accomphebed to its fullest extent, it would be difficult to explain the heavy kind of sensation which now oppressed him, oa seeing that abject in a great degree frustrated. Atter having, during so long a course, succeeded in obtain ing great success for the cause which he hadno leebly advocated, he had perhaps, in some degree, accus tomed himself to believe that the character of the Slave Trade had been flied for ever ; and that it would never again }save met with edema's who Would have presumed to shew their faces in the world. Unhappily he was mistaken in his conjec ,' tare, and we had lived to find that a great, important nd civilized nation, at the very moment when the greatest of blessings had been conferred upon her. te rming to acquiesce in our desires, while we bad given up to her those very principles for which we had so long contended. If, on his .bra rising.& be had been led into an expression of his acute -feelings, he had not so expressed hintself with a view to call for any 1111 explanation as to whether tbe article in the Treaty • which now lies before the *Molise could have been avoided; if the papers .by which that transaction could be eplained were not yet current. Alkhe knew , *was, that not long ago the House had presented an address. imploring his Majesty to use his utmost en deavours; outing the negotiations, to Induce the Al lied Powers to consent to the total abolitioo of the Slave Trade ' • and that his M a j e sty, in return, hid assured the House that 'a o en d eavours shou ld be wanting on his part to effect the (tearable object. He had, therefore, reason to suppose that all possible es ertions had been made to attain this Object., He wish ed to state what WAS not the nature of his motion, be cause he was anxious to be understood as not being inclined to condemn the conduct of the Negociatot, at the same time (hat he did not pledgebiassaf tacitly to approve of i t .
