HOUSE OF COMMONS. The House was sununonetl to the House of Peers, to hear hi• Majesty's Assent given, by Cowl - 1111,ton, to several private Acts. On the return of the Speaker, he acquainted the House .hat he had been to the House of Peers, and had heard his Majesty's As• sent given, by Commiision, to sundry public and private Bdis, the titles of which he then read. A Message from the Lords acquainted the House, that ther Lordships bad agreed to the Irish Jail Bill, and various Priea Bills. Mr. Owen, from the EastAndia Company, brought up sundry papers. In pursuance of the order of the House. SOUTHWARK PETITION. Mr. HENRY THORNTON presented a Peddles from a nu meroos Meeting of the Inhabitants of Southwark, regularly call..il, in favour of Parliamentary Reform, and in opposition to the conduct of the House, in committing Sir Francis Burdett and Mr. Gale Jones. The Petitinn was read at the Table. It ar:vertett to precise ly the same points that were contained In the other Petitions on the same subject. Sir THOMAS TURTON seconded the motion for its being laid on the Table.—Laid on the Table. Mr. HUTCHINSON presented a Petition from the Manufac turers of Thrown Silk, in Ireland, which was read, and ordered to be laid on the table. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Sir THOMAS TURTON was desirous, before Parliament closed, to call the attention of the House to the proceedings of Committees up stairs. During the last six weeks all the private business of the Session was done, but how correctly or effectually accomplished, he could not take upon himself to say. The time for receiving Reports had been enlarged; but notwithstanding this it Wita utterly impossible to have paid a due attention to the Pri vate Rills, more especially when it was considered that Ilembers were frequently called upon to attend five Committees in the course of one day. That some plan should be adopted to remedy Oil evil, he conceived was indispensibty necessary; and, in that feeling be had taken the liberty of directing the attention of the House to the subject. He also suggested the necessity of some persons being appointed to assist Members in the technical and legal form of introducing public bills. The SPEAKER observed, that the subjects to which the Ho. nourable Gentleman had adverted, were of the greate7t impor tance, and required the most serious deliberation. From the manner, however, in which the Honourable Gentleman had broughothe question forward, it was not likely that any bene ficial effect would result from his remarks. Had he followed up his observations with ti specific motion, then sense probability of 1 attaining the desired effect would have arisen. It was a matter which rested with Members themselves, and with them must ori ginate any measure for facilitating the general convenience of public and private business. HR. GALE JONES. Sir JAMES HALL moved, that Mr. Gale Jones be immediately discharged without paying his fees, chiefly upon the ground that a distinction ought to be made between him and Sir Francis' Burdett, who had much more seriously offended. Mr. PETER MOORE seconded the motion. Mr. Secretary RYDER opposed it, on the ground that it would be ♦iolating what the House had done when the whole case was before it. Sir THOMAS TURTON thought this was now hardly any favour to Mr. Gale Jones, but, however, he would support the motion. Sir JAMES HALL said, that no answer had been given to the ground which he had stated, of making a proper distinction.—The motion was then nega tired without a division. SLAVE. TRADE. Mr. BROUGHAM, in compliance with his notice, called the attention of the House to the present state of the Slave Trade. It was a question, he said of the deepest importance ; it involved neither personal nor party considerations; but in it was implicated the honour of the country, the character of the House, and the interests of humanity ; he.trusted, therefore, it would meet wiah some part of that favourable at. tention which it had already, upon so many occa sions, received. It might be necessary, in the first instance, to inquire what steps had been taken to. wards watching over the sentence passed by the House on the African Slave Trait!. It was fonr years sine Mr. Fox made his proposiLion for the abolition of that Trade—his last speech on the subject. An Address was then voted to the Crown, praying his Majesty to use his influence over foreign missionaries to put an end to that abominable traffic. A similar Address was sent up by the other House. In the next Sessions of Parliament an opportunity was given to two Nob e Friends of his, to whom no man was superior except : ,• his Hon. Friend, the member for Yorkshire (bind WiWI-force) who WAS th e n unfortunately confined I fromillness, to bring forward the question in a morel enlarged shape, and from whose exertions it was finally passed into a kw ; but from want .of zeal in tts,supporters had not yet been carried into effect.— Tlnimight in a great uteasurir be attributed to the '.lll4tupm, fa and wickedness of Slave Traders and , plottgro t but as the Act of Parliament had been in. stdficien.to obtain the desired purpose, it would be "necessary to apply a proper remedy. In order to as certain what that remedy ought to be, he begged the a - tention of the House while he stated a few facts which came to his knowledge on the subject. The Hon Gentleman then adverted in a most eloquent and feeling manner to the Slave Trade : as it at pre sent existed, it was principally confined to Spain, Por toga], and America. The two former countries au. thorised the trade, while the American traders acted 'eh a contraband manner, and contrary to the wishes and laws of this country. He had sincerely to lament th it British merchants were also zealous in the traffic, and cited many instances in which since the passing of the Abolition Act, they had not only purchased slaves, hut fitted oui ves s els in this country for carry. ing on the traffic. On this conduct he passed the most severe comments. He contended, that it was full in the power of Ministers to use their influence over Spain and Portugal, from our present connection with those c.untries; and proposed that with respect to America we should assist that country with our naval forces towards extirpating the ta ade alto4ether. He also suggested. the expediency of increasing the number of our cruizers on the African coast. The , motion which he had to submit was, that an humble Address be presented to his Majesty, statini4, that the House having taken into consideration certain papers respecting the African Slave Trade, regretted the inefficacy of the measures already pursued for its aba lition; that the House had learned, with surprise and indignation, the evasions practised against the aboli tion; that the House strenuously recommended the co-operation of Foreign Powers in the measure adopted by them ; and that early in the next Session they would pursue such meansas should prevent the daring , violation of the laws directed against the abolition of the African Slave Trade." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wished that the Learned and Hon. Gentleman had not taken a prospective pledge, as to the next Session, which might as well have rested with himself. Go-• vernment was perfectly disposed to give effect to the proceedings of Parliament. Mr. MAR RYATT declared, that we hid not only connived at, but promoted the African Slave Trade. As to Foreign Powers, the principal power now en- . gmed in it (Spain) was imploring the blessings of Heaven, ia the means used for its own liberation ! The principles of justice and humanity being immutable, it was some matter of question with him, whether lo reign nations, who carried on the trade, ought nut to be treated as pirates ? Mr. WILLIAM SMITH was of opinion, that we ought to have withheld assistance from Spain, till that power had resolved on t.l.e abolition of the Slave Trade. Mr. STEPHEN declared, that he wholly acquit ted Ministers of the design of not following up the Resolutions of Parliament respecting the African Slave Trade ; and that, were this not the fact, he would as soon lend his hand to the strangling of an infant child, as to the support of the Ministry. The magnitude of the contraband Slave Trade had, he would hope, been exaggerated by his Learned and Honourable Friend. The Admiralty had consti. tuted a Court, at much cost, even in Africa, for the trial of offences against the Abolition Act. He concurred with his Hon. and Learned Friend as to the necessity of guarding against the continuation of the Slave Trade in South .America ; and he would vote for his Address, though it merely reiterated the speeches and votes of that House. Mr. CANNING wished chiefly to repeat tiro*. nions which he had always delivered on the main question, and to assert the sincerity with which it was supported by the late Mr. Pitt. All that could be done, with a view to the rational attainment of the great object in question, had been done ; and he was only sorry that any debate had folloieed the eloquent and able speech of the mover of thi Address. Mr. HIBBERT thought thapare pas a political expediency in keeping down tto Slade-trade of Fo reign Colonies, since we had abandoned it in our.own. He said, that since the passing of the Abolition Act, a single Slave had not been introduced into Jamaica. ' Mr. BROUGHAM said, that as there had been in the course of the discussion no material opposition # given to what he had stated in his speech, he should not feel it necessary to make any reply he would explain, however, in one or two poios,.respecting which he had been misunderstood. He did not intend to reflect at all upon the sincerity or diligence of his Majesty's Government, in seconding the Act of Abo lition, he was willing to give them credit for both.— It had been said that American slave-ships had fre• quently been in the habit of sailing under the protec tion of Government licences. This he distinctly de nied upon the authority of hose best competent to know, whether that statemsat was true or false, and whom he pronounced to be men of as high honour, rank, and information, as any connected with that Government ; after some further observations, he con cluded with exhorting the House to delay resorting to such measures as in their wisdom would appear best calculated to prevent the evasions and violations of the Act. He concurred in the propriety of the sag. gestim of Mr. Perceval, and substituted iii a ies.ilu tion for the word " adopt," the words " wid take into their consideration such measures, &c. &c." The Address and Resolution, so altered, were then ear -1 ned nun, tax. VOTE OF CREDIT. Mr. WHITBREAD rose. The present Session, though a laborious oae, had, he said been but a short . . . one ; since short and long were relative terries, and to • be relatively determined. Jefferey the tailor had partly occupied their attention t and Jefferey he beard WAS now alive at Beverley in America, s.o . king at the trade of a blacksmith. The Escheqoer Fun ding bad, with mt!ch ntiabbieg and bustling, been also gone through sith. Suing that the? wetieffitne on the eve of adjournment, he thought that die Voto • of Credit implied too much oomidence in Or pr eat Administration. One ad their numher (Mr. Yorkel, had been proved the lefts d alms- of the Corps. The Only exptct l ation they had dis appointed seas that of the dissolution of their MinistST ; o.oatgh-ettes Sid mouth party went our on a majority of 94, which was thsti thooglit a snfficient hint of the opinion of the House of Commons. &ill tl c Perceval Admi nistration, thioking its post the p• tot honour, (Neu- , I:i:eh its •place a standing . upon the itarrosrest•to tiori. ties, sometimes in minorities, uhlch proved, bejond question, that the influence of the Crown could supra port any composition of Ministers against the opinion s and wit-bout the confidence, of the House o 4 Com mons. Ministers of this kind now came d awn to them for a vote of three millions ! Our domestic situation was full of alarm. The approaching har vest threatened us with famine ; though, peril aps, its deficiency might be remedied by sapplres of wheat ; from Abroad, especially from Artie; iest. Mr. CANNING could not consider a Ministry which had been able to conduct the business of State through the Session, and retain their situations at the termination of that Session, as in a situation to war. rant withholding the usual measure of a Vote of cress tit ; to leave them unprepared and unarmed to sixes. any exigencies which migbt occur during the resets, WAS not a mode calculated to strengthen their hand, or remove in any dsgree their imbecility. The Hon. Gentleman had not expressed any hopes of peace; it was plain, therefore, he had no hopes. It he had held out such, probably he ( Mr. Canning) would nnthave agreed in opinion with him, yet it would have afford ed some grounds for the Hon. Gentlem en's opposition to the Vote. It was impossible Ministers could be prepared with a plan to lay on the table of every thihg which might occur daring the recess; great exertions might yet be necess try. He could not agree that the cause of Spain was lost ; - from the ruins of smoking towns new spirit seemed to arise, and a protracted struggle was easily to be foreseen ; we were called on to retain Cadiz, or to see it affording means for France to fit out her fleets against us ; and we were plated in• that situation in which every foot of ground lost by us, was a foot gained by France; and we were in that state, in which we must persevere in the contest, or fall. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by giv ing his cordial assent to the Vote of Credit. Mr. WHITBREAD, in explanation, adverted to the general scope of the Right Hoo. Gentleman's speech, which was, in fact, no answer to him, but which seemed to have been prepared rather as a reply to a speech expected from a Rght Honourable Friend of his, who had annotenced his intention of bringing forward a nurion on the subject of Spain. Thai motion, however, was abandoned ; but yet the ,Mig . bt Honourable Gentleman was resolved that his prepared speech should not be lost, and therefore the House had been entertained by his display of eloquence.— With regard to the allusions made by the Eight Ho nourable Gentleman, to his opinion respecting peace, he could assure the Right Honourable Gentleman, that he had not abjured, as he seemed to suppose, any opinion he had ever expressed uptin that,point. He still thought, that up to the ?nvasion cif Spain, the continuance of the war was solely °wily; to this coun try. For the termination of that WA§ he still natu rally wished and hoped, and he confessed that Isis hope of pease was considerably encouraged by the circumstance of the Right Honburable Oentleman's 'Exclusion from the Cabinet. As to Cielenisconduct or cruelty ascribed to Bonaparte, he l*lieved that nos thing of the kind could exceed that *tusk ctunmit ted by Lord Wellesley in India. It disiVnottthere fore, become the friends ef that Noble Mipuis to be so forward lend lou in their complaints against 80. naparte. In cone ing, the Hsnourabje Member took notice of the i on of Ministers to advert to the singular attemp o steal Ferdinand the Seventh ia l t from France, an att pt which these Ministers could not deny or venture to justify. Sir H. MONTGOMERY, perceiving thit the Honourable Gentleman having personal knowledge, must have derived his information relative to the Marquis of Wellesley's conduct in India, from other sources, undertook to say,iltat such information was totally false. Mr. WHITBREAD asked whether the Honour able Bgonet could deny, or would attempt a vindi. cate, to conduct practised towards the Nabob of Arcot, who was given into the hands of his enemies, and never more heard of, nu the invasion of the terri tory, with all its con'equent cruelties? Sir H. MONTGOMERY asserted that, to his Iknowledge, Lord Wellesley was '2lOO miles from the spot when the Nabob of Arcot was so surrendered. Mr. WHITBREAD observed, that such might be the case, but that none of the cruelties which took place in Spain were upon the same prirtfiple attributa ble to Bonaparte. For they were not committed by him but by the army. P:nstbly, indeed, Bonaparte WAS as little concerned as Lord Wellesley in the personal perpetratiln of any cruelty or • injustice, but was that an admissible defence of any Government which knew, or ought to know, of the misconduct of its agents ? Mr. CANNING said a few words in vindication of Lord Wellesley and Mr. Frere. Mr. W. SMITH supported the opinions of Ise. Whitbread. The Bill was read a third time and passed, as was the Registrar of t'teAdmiralty Courts Regulation Bal. and the Salaries' Account Bill, after some converse. tion between Mr. BANKKI, Mr. PERCEVAL, and Mr. C. W. WYNNE. . Adjourned at -two o'clock till Wednesday.
