One . place it was !Aid, 4, We ognia2 with satisfaction the principles pf humanity ressed in the article of the Treaty re , pecting the ve."Trad.!, though we regret that these priuctples • followed," &c. For his part he c:•uld see with no isiaction the recognition of principles, which in the .cluding part of the article were so completely de. red. He wishe,i, therefore, that they should merely to the fact of the recognition, without any corn. nr• lie also wishzd, after the expression of .their inion, that the colisevence of the Treaty would be renewal of the Slave Trade on a larye scale, thif y shoul.l add, " And though accompanied - wit!: a ovision that the traffic shall cease in hie years, )et cannot see that at the end of tii.A tt.lnt it is likely cease." Mr. WI Lat . eronce said he had r. ,, t the slightest ob. ion to the alterations propo , ed. he Amendment moved by Earl Grey was then posed and agreed to, and the Resolutions were :reafter unanimously adopted. Me. Witirsitrau said he hail been desired to pro. .se to the Meeting a Petition, in conformity to the 'solutions which they had jag adopted. Alter what d been already said, it would be difficult for any in to add any thing more to excite the feelings ich were implanted in the breast of cvcry one of before they assembled in that room. For his ~ he should feel himself incompetent to the task addressing such an assembly, did he not consider it was not himself who spoke to them, but mil. ass of the inhabitants of Africa who spoke to them ;gll his mouth.— (ilmilaule.)—Ele hoped they id all adopt the Petition which he had the honour :opose to them, and give their signatures to it'. wished all of them to i.se their influence in the Tusion of the sentiments of this Petition, tit they Ime national beyond all that was recorded in his- - r, in order that Parliament, speaking the laagnage once of a united and universal people, might be lebled to restore us to the great and proud situation which we stood before the signature of the Treaty, were now a degraded nation ; but although we re a degraded, it was not fitting th it we should a despairing nation.— ( Amlaure).—They had not to appear Mote Parliament, and to lay before two Houses the general and universal exprt sion ieir indignation at being chain involved in scenes. Mood, misery, and murder ; but, as stated by the iourahie Gentleman who had heen so truly nami the patron and defender of the African Slaves, ' li:s Noble Friend near him, they had also to en-! Jr to diffuse these sentiments among the 13 ativel .anc. - But to Ire able to convey infurination`to people of France, it wis necessary that the Press ..- -InCe should be open to them. They_ would' find he believed, a difficult task to convey their senti . - to the people of France through the:appropri, medium, the public papers ; for it was found inr... 'Jle to introduce into the.

Let what siro,o4t be Government, and whoever might be : thie - Ridei s was a question. which, with or' without allianes t 'uld not be disposed to abancion, and till it woo he thought the sword ought not to be .hecl, They had been told that there were it . uals at present in this country paying the Ise of their participation in this abominable 4 but they. might also have been told, that the very spot,:ethere these people bad been _used, the 'traffic wus again made legal. He heard of the ;satisfaction lately evinced .at Cey on the convicticin of a Set of miscreants who advantage of a general famine, to steal a num .' those children who had been made orphans by r the purpose of selling them as slaves ;—but the knowledge of. this Treaty came to that with what scoffing and reproaches would not inan.stealets say to the people of this country, .id permitted that very traffic in others which we punished in them, and meant to profit by it '... that we bad,,as the price of peace, permitted ' to cany on a trade which we blushed to carry .rselves. It would be found impossible to carry stipulation for the abolition at the end of five into effect, but by the sword, why, then, he . ask, did they sheathe the sword, when, with shedding one drop of blood they might have :c1 an effect, which, at the end of five years could not obtain but by the sacrifice oil rd thousands 'of Europeans ? Why did we for peace, but as a cessation of the shedding of blood ; but this Treaty was merely a transfer scene of human bloodshed. It was giving our that millions of Africans should be again con . to all the horrors which this abominable trade rise to. They must again open the bloody vo which they imagined had bean closed for ever; they might be assured that all the horrors of they had read or heard would be acted over Would they not, then, do what he-now pro to them, namely, adopt the Petition which be read to them ? This was the only means by . they could hope to sec accomplis h ed the wi rk were engaged in ; but without .a general takes of the sentiments of the people, their wishes,4ll ' be ineffectual. The Members of the Legisla ' been more than once compelled to listen to ,ce of the people; and it was well known to of them that a late measure had been abandoned nsequence of the universal feeling of the public ,ISt it.

The Peti. tion in his hand was f o unded on the Resolutions, and if they I pploved ,of the Resolutions, it was impoisi. Me they could abstain horn signing it.- Lord MILTON. wished that the seventh Resolution should be rend, as it contained some sentiments that upon consideration might not be thought worthy of adoption. • The Resolution having been read, his Lordship observed, that the comparative disadvan tages -there mentioned, respecting our own and the French Wept India Islands, might occasion a suspi. don aSto the purity of our motives in the mind of fo. reign nations., Ile should therefore move, that that part of the resolution should be omitted, and these words be inserted in its stead, s' that the Meeting was deeply impressed with' the increased necessity of adopting such measure; in Parliament, as-might pre vent the infraction 14 the abolition law; and the em ployment of British capital in the nefarious traffic in slaves." . .. Th e Ini-;fina. aris.aerred to. The petition was then read, expressive oldie regret of the petitioners respec ting.the clause in the treaty with France ; by which the cortinuanee-of the 'stave trade was permitted for five years, and its• goliable consequences. - Upon thevastion . being put that the petition should be adopted, , . Sir JAMES .MAartarrosn observed, that after the eloquent Speeihei etch the'tneeting had heard, no thing was left for him to add, or for-much abler men. the stipulation in question was to be regarded in' a teparate point of it** from those . who 'had negoci sued it. They Might have a defence, and till that defence was made,. Judgment ought to-be suspended; but the .article itself admitted of none, and merited the most uniiiia:ified reprobation. It was the most infamous stipulation ever entered into since this coun try was a nation (44 apftlaute). It was to repeople with slaves the great island of St. Domingo, to make the empire of Brazil an agricultural country, and to iieople French and Dutch Guiana with the unhappy natives of Africa, by transporting thither a million of slaves, each of which must be purchased at the expense '44 twoinnotent lico•s in Africa. His Hon. Friend (11 1 h. Whitbretd) had said, that he should prefer a state of war to such a treaty. He doubted much if we had a choice betwixt war and peace. We had only to choose whether we should prefer a war against, or in favour of, justice and humanity; a war with those Who.aneditated rapine aid murder on the onehancl, Or with those who suffered them on the other.--( Great and reiterated appLuse.)---Civilized war, with all its 'Calamities, was the school of many virtues, and was hat to be confounded with a war which led to crimes similar to, or more atrocious than those which con ducted the perpetrator to the gallows. The Marquis of LaNsnoWNE observed, that a me }ion was to be made for an addiess to:the two Houses of tar - Lament ; tike one to the House of Lords to be presented by . his - Royal'Highness the Duke of Glou tester; and that to the Commons by Mr. Wilberfo rce , Pie'father arid patron of _this holy measure. - None' could be so 'Wall qualifieceas those who hail shewa they possesiedqualities to command success, and that etiality athreh.nnht again be so requisite—Unabating peitette4nee i.lor we Might again be called upon. to tight the battle which we_ thought . . viehad won, and to Tun .the -race which we•thOught we had achieved. seisiii.iiii lhoke eAtelttOlthe mischief, but derived sense frOm. aiding . thatthEt.gieat question WAS la y..settled at a Congia's to be held at itiikeit,.in cinder to renotiathenianquillity-ofEu r op e. 4w.50 , 94th t die i r.arillift i ofnropc be_rfs ii toreci or . f . protection, - .of the 1.- lafoliTT, bin by acting &iron 'bat tacrecl principle-to -1e :*•iaoultr be 'done by ?". from the Sentiments 60ittiv4 by . tfie"Allieaf Sovereigns, "tie dioUght.;that itr*Leticciontgroatebt . was afforded to Urge the total abdlidon of thwtraffie, alike- contrary to the laws of esobund man. • Nue 'was It prAsable that France glom Tatc l iilltift herself in 'oppoiition to all Europe, sidtpc.ating tie cAuse ,of humabity.

Hetrusted, the voice of tli . United King dom rated procure a revisal.of the article at the Ge neral Congress, and that Government would he strengthened by a full expression of the public voice. At the Peace of Utrecht Great Britain received as a boon, a permission to trade is slaves, known by the name of the Assiento Contract. He had hoped that at the present peace the boon demanded would have been the abolition of a traffic, a scandal to the moral and Christian world.—(Loud applause). We had given France an incentive to carry on this abominable traffic, nor could it be expected to be finally abolished till the municipal law of England became the gene ral law of the world.—(zlpplause. ) : Sir S. ROMILLY observ e d, th a t b e fore the business of the day was concluded, it was fit that one motion with which he had been entrusted, should not be omit ted, and it was necessary to introduce it thus cut , be- i rause the august personage wh o filled th e Chair was , unable to remain beyond a certain hour. The motion was, the thanks of the meeting to - the Duke of Glou cester for his conduct in the Chair, and for his un wearied exertions in this sacred cause—(continued a 1 'I 'douse). From the first moment that his Royal High• ness had been able to express his sentiments in Parlia ment, he had avowed himself the supporter and Pa tron of this benevolent Institution, which had for its object the disinterested plan of the civilization and happiness of one quarter of the gl•.be, formerly the scene of misery and bloodshed. The prospect for-', met so bright, h;id been overcast by the Treaty re cently concluded. Senegal and Goree had been ced ed to those who were to continue the enemies. of- he. manity, and the Slave Trade was to be recreated and revived with all possible . aggravations. The Administration of this country having thus failed in its duty, it became die people of England to inter fere, and with one voice to insist upon the complete abolition. He believed that, generally, individuals' were not aware of the influence and power they pos. sessed when united in one common cause, although' the abolition itself, and many other important mea• sures had been carried by the united energies of the inhabitants of this country : those numerous Petitions with which the Tables of the Legislature had been crowded, the Parliament could not resist, and the object so supported was certain to be effected, and every man who signed them bad the delight of know ing that he shared the glory of each benevolent un dertaking so enforced. In the present-case much irreparable mischief had ahead; been done ;—it was the duty of the British nation to allow it to proceed no further, by sheaving their decided opinion against the continuance of the trade. It was impossible that those who had put their names to the Treaty could believe that at the end of five years the Traffic in Slavery would be abolished :—on the one side them must have been a determination to deceive, and on the other a willingness to be deceived. (Hear, hear.) No man could credit the assertion that a nation, not yet embarked in this trade, and viewing it only with the disinterested eye of philosophy, would, if any representations had been made to the contrary, have' insisted upon tire existence of a trade m horrible, and for which they had ,then no operating Motive.— ' (Hear, hear.)—He concluded by moving the thanks .of the Meeting to his Royal Highness the Duke of Glnucester..( Long continued op:autos ) - The Duke of GLOUCESTER, in rising to ekpress his gratelaseuse of the honour done him, observed that 'if 4fis zeal in this cause could be augmented, the ap probation just shewn in so distinguished a mariner could not fail of producing the effect. He should he proud of the bonour of laying the Petition before the House of Lords, and he hoped it would be signed by onany thousands. • It might. find •a more able, hut never a more zealoui advocate.—(Hear, hear.)—Tre Doke af Gloucester then left the hall, amidst the loud applauses of the company, and . the Chair was taken by the-Marquiseet Lansdowne. . . - • .. • Lord Ktereanin r after an eloquent eulogium upon Mr-WilbertoiCe, m9ved the thanks of the Meeting to that Gentleman. • It was seconded by the Hon. Mr. DOUGLAS, who, in a short speech, expressed his earnest wishes for the I sicred'cause of justice and.humanity. It was carried by acclamation. . Mr. !Witszneonce unaffectedly declared, that he felt himself unworthy of the applauses bestowed, and attributed the flittering manner in whielialie motion had been carried to the affection of the Company to the cause in which he had been engaged. • The his tory of his life, asfar as regarded this question, spewed what approbation even moderate abilities might re ceive when those abilities were well directed. Mr. WAITIIMAN said, that there was one motion which would. more properly proceed from one of the crowd like hiensell than from any Gentleman placed at the head of the apartment : he meant a Vote of Thanks to the noble individuals who had called this Meeting.—(Hear, hear.)—J - Ie congratulated the cow -1 I.pany upon the Presence of so marry persons of rank and influence engaged in so good a cause, and. upon the deference which .some Noble Lords had to-day .shewn for public opinion , he had frequently felt the want of theil• countenance and support. (Di:appro. .b ailit.) He spoke,it not in anger but in grief ;-I.e rejoiced in this auspicious change, and he trustee that the example now set would in future be frequently follciseed. He therefore proposed his motion of thanks with sincere pleasure. ' • • The question being seconded by Mr. SMITII, it was carried--the Marquis of -La NSOOVINE returning than Id. ' Earl Grity tvas gratified at the motion• just car ded, and not less, when he.considered the quarter fmm. whence it came ; he was grateful to the Hon. Gentleman, not only for the reward, but for the ad monition with which it had been accompanied. He was not conscious, that itpoti the subject now under discussion, he had ever . been Jeacfeeiaref in zeal pr in admiration of the generous spirit displayed by the people of England. He thought, that such a mo ment when all were unanimous in the cause of justice and benevolence, was not exactly the time•for intro. ducing personal animosities. In justice.to himself and. to others, he Must however t ty, that he did not re: quire the information regarding the value of public opinion which had just been' afforded—(l-Tedr, hear.) He qever had any hesitation in admitting that public meetings of this kind were of the utmost utility, and that they formed one great adtantage of our Consti ! Minn. . . Mr. Warrustax, amidst much noise and hissing . , attempted to explain. The Meeting, which was most numerously attendeJ g then broke up. THE . A ►ING STA It. := I!! . . LONDON. • + URDAY, JUNE IS.
