Several of them were afterwards brought up, The House then adjourned till Monday. ABOLITION OE7 HE SLAYS TRADE. Yesterday, in consequence of a public advertise. mem, a very numerous meeting took place at Free. masons' Tavern, of the Friends of the Abolition of the Slave Trade. The meeting was composed of persons of the highest consequence, among whom were many Ladies of Fashion. The Duke of GLOUCESTER was in the 'Chair, sup poJed by the Marquis of LANSDOWN, Earls GREY, SELKIRK, HOSSLYN, and CHARLENIoNT J • Duke of C.orsnorr, Lord ERSKINE, Sir JAMES MACINTOSH, Lord Micros, Mr. WHITBREAD, Mr. WILBERFORCE, Mr. W. SUI &c. The Doke if GLOUCESTER felt himself much ho -no.ired at being c.:lled to the chair, as it was an assu rance to him that the company did justice to his feel. ings, in considering him as a sincere friend to the -ab.ilition of this most detestable trade. Many of the -most distinguished friends cf the Abolition had felt it to be their duty to convene this public meeting, in conseydence of an -article in the treaty which had now been laid before Parliament. They thought that not a moment should he lost in carrying into effect whatever measures might be deemed the most effec atill to preventing the revival of the trade. He was cles'irous of tr! , sp:issing on their time as shortly as possible, and should therefore confine himself to • stating the purpose for which the present meeting was convened. He should now call upon some of those whit friends of the Abolition who were near him, to state to the company what they had to propose. Mr. Witonotronoc then came forward, aad was received with the loudest applause. He was con vinced, that all who beard him, as well as the nation at large, were decided friends to the abolition of the Slave Trade. It was impossible for them not to be aware of the very critical circumstances in which that great cause was now placed. It was impossible for those who took a comparative view of the situation of the question now, with its situation and prospects before the treaty, not to feel the most serious disappointment and regret. The friends of the abolition (and who in this country were not its friends) had flattered themselves, that their cause, as being the cause of justice and humanity, would have met the support of all nations ; and now they found that this country was about to give up to France co lonies that were now in our possession, and upon a direct understanding that the Slave Trade was to be continued in those colonies for the term of five years. 'By this article in the treaty, he conceived that the sanction of - this country was in some degree given to a system which had been so often called a system of robbery and murder. It had been called so, not in 'the figurative sense which was often given to such expressions, but it had been called so in the literal sense of the words : because no other terms could be selected that more properly described the nature of :this traffic. was not as yet acquainted with the circumstances which led to this fatal surrender on the part of this country. He would -not, therefore, now blame it in those terms which his feelings would otherwise call upon him to use ; but he was firmly • persuaded that no considerations arising from poli tical interests or expediency could be of sufficient weight, as to justify this country in giving its,sanc tion to this odious trade, if trade it could be called. He should not, lio•wever, take upon himself to judge of the conduct of any man until he had heard his, reasons : but it appeared to hire absolutely necessary that the friends of the abolition should lose no time in considering what they could do to mitigate, at lest, the extremity of the evil with which Africa was now threatened, When he considered the very gradual progress that the cause had made in this court, try, fi om the time it was first agitated, to the time that his Noble Friend who wasthen nearhim, (Lord Grey) and another noble Friend, not then present, but who wasa zealous friend to the cause (Lord irenville) suc cessfully prpppsed .to Parliament the abolition of the trade ithis slow and gradual . progress of the cause in this country gave rise to various and mi;ed consi derations. On the one hand, it gave the most severe disappointment to those uho had been so long snug gling with difficulties, and labouring up - the steep as cent' and rho had just began to enjoy the glorious prospect of the complete destruction of this most odip ous and accursed traffic, to find that those bright pro spects were snatched. from heir view, and that they were perhaps destined to. behold still greater miseries than they had before contemplated. On the other hand, however, when we remembered how very gra dual the triumph of the cause had been even in this country, we might, in justice to those who were bat lately our enemies, hope, that when the same infor mation respecting the real nature of the trade should be diffused amongst them, they too would look upon it with the same horror that we did. We should re collect not only how long this question had been depending in Parliament, but what difficulties it had to encounter even in the public opinion, and how many advocates were found to contend that it might be politically right although morally wrong.— Although he could never allow that any thing which was morally wrong could be politically right, yet this country had had the good fortune in this instance to have proved by experience that what was morally wrong was also politically wrong. France, however, had not had the opportunity of trying the experiment. The great object, then, of this Meeting was to con sider how every one, in his sphere, could promote the cause by extending to other nations that informa tion on the subject which this country possessed. It was impossible to remain tranquil and inactive upon this occasion ; and he, fcr one, most unaffectedly declared that he alt shame for not having taken the necessary means'of spreading in foreign nations that information which was no longer necessary in this country, that had completely made up its mind upon this great occasion. It was particularly to France that this information should be communicated. In this country, the Slave Trade had lately received a deadly blow from a Bill brought into Parliament by an Honourable and Learned Friend near him ( Mr. Brougham), for placing it on the same footing as other felonies. This was fixing the scandal of public opinion upon it ; and since that time men would he as much ashamed of being advocates of the Slave Trade, as they would be to be advocates for murder or houso-breaking. He understood that in conse quence of this Act, there were two men now on board the hulks, who had amassed fortunes in Africa by the Slave Trade. They had continued their practices after the passing of the Act, but the law intercepted them in their career, and sent them to the hulks, the common receptacle of felons. The French were a high-minded and generout.people ; and he hoped that when they were acquainted with the real character of the trade, they would abandon it.— There was, however, on consideration which he thought should have opened the eyes of our negotia tors. There was not (he might say it without any flattery to the people of this country) the same de gree of religious and moral feeling in France as it% this country. It was upon the religious and moral feeling of this country, as upon a rock, that he had planted his foot in all the exer6oes that he had made for the success of the cause. He had argued that it was contrary to the laws of Goo and the dictates of humanity ;—and he had felt assured, that in this country, befoie such argument as that, all arguments drawn horn political convenience, or political inte rests, would be blown away like chaff before the wind. Such was the case in this country ; but we could not feel the same atsurance that those conside rations would have equal weight in another country. —He hoped, however, that the cause of justice and philanthropy must ultimately triumph. It was, however, a circumstance which gave considerable satisfaction and hope, that those illustrious Monarchs with whom we were now allied, with whom 'we had been joined in arduous struggles, and who had now arrived to the.pinnacle of *glory, were friends to the abolition of the Slave Trade.— (Loud amlause.)— fhe Emperor Alexander, as he understood, was particularly favourable to their cause. He was in formed that the King of Prussia and the Egiperor .of Austria were also favourable. They owed it to their own high characters, they owed it toAtmtcarre Con Who had placed them in situations of such high influence over human affairs, to give, their best en deavours to alleviate.the evils of mankind, and mi tigate the sufferings and wretchedness of Africa.— A Congress was shortly to be held at Vienna for set fling the peace of Europe ; and he hoped, that at that Congress such reprt:sentations would be made as might be effectual in putting an • immediate stop to this trade. We had now ceded large colonies to France, with an express understanding that the trade was to contintie for five years, and we bad no secu rity that it would be discontinued then. Those who agreed to such a surrender, had certainly taken upon themselves a most fearful responsibility; and it was fur them to see that the heavy price which was thus paid fur peace, should not be extended beyond their agreement. It was the duty, however, of the friends of the abolition to endeavour, in every possible way,' to influence Parliament and the nation to oppose the continuance of the Slave Trade. For this purpose it would be necessary to have a petition presented, with signatures so numerous, as clearly to express the feel ing of this country upon this great question. Al though we were at Peace with France, we should maintain .a deadly enmity to the Slave Trade. We should make no treaty with it, no parley, no truce for five years.—(Loud aNdaure).—Althnugh it might be the intention of the negotiators that the wounds of Africa should be then closed, he apprehended that it would be a great aggravation of the miseries and wretchedness of that Continent. It was precisely that part of it, where we had replaced this odious trade by a more useful commerce, that was now to be surrendered to France.. A brave officer near him (Captain Irby) had lately, in the execution of his duty, destroyed the factories on that coast, and rooted out the nest of vipers that had settled there. He was afraid that this trade would again return there, and I nation be set against nation, village against village, and family against family. Under the banner of their illustrious Chairman, the friends of the abolition might feel confident that they could not have a better leader, as - they were sure that they could not have a juster cause. After some further observations, he concluded by moving the resolutions. Earl GREY rose amidst loud applause, and said that he felt quite unable to add any thing to the ekquent statement of the Resolutions which had been read, or'to the More eloquent address of the mover of them—the great patron gnd father of the African cause—(applow). But he could not reconcile it to liis feelings to sit in silence under the flattering allu sion to him which bad been made by his Honourable Friend (Mr. Wilberforce). He therefore offered himself to second the Resolutions. It was always unpleasant to him to speak of himself, nor should he have trespassed on that unpleasant ground but for the allusion which bad been made to him. As to his (Earl Grey's) political endeavours in the course of a long public life, they had met with na reward, but that which was the best reward, the reflection that he had always done his duty. It had been li;s fortune, for a very short time, .to hold a place in the Councils of his Majesty, in conjunction with friends whom he should ever venerate. In that short time, so short that it was not possible to have developed any plans of policy, he had been obstructed with dif ficulties, in that time he had met with one of the greatest misfortunes of his private or public life, the death of Mr. Fox (applause). In mentioning that revered name, he did but indulge the feeling which he should ever cherish ; and he hoped that in this al lusion he should be suspected of no political motive, for he spoke to those who knew that it was the truth, that there never was a more sincere friend to the cause of humanity, as directed to the abolition of the Slave Trade, than Mr. Fox, nor was there a cause in which more than this that great man had been with more zeal, more honour, and more complete ul timate success, ever employed. While that Admini stration had been thus exposed to difficulties and in terrupted by loss, the bill for the abolition of the Slave Trade, on the part of this country, was pre sented to the House of Commons, and by the exer tions of the Honourable - Gentleman (Mr. Wilber force) and his Noble Friend who had been alluded to, ultimately carried, notwithstanding the inveteracy of its enemies (loud applause). The Administration of that time had been much defamed, and its motives unjustly calumniated ; but in his idea, it was a suffi cient praise, that during the short pet iod of its exis tence the death-warrant of the traffic of blood had been signed and sealed (loud applau;e). Of the ar ticle of the Treaty which related to this traffic, he was afraid to speak his sentiments. His Honourable Friend (Mr. Wilberforce) had expressed those feel ings respecting it which all would participate in with charitable forbearance ; but he would ask for the sig nature of this execrable article of the Treaty,- what ground of policy or expediency could apologize ?- 7 (applause). A plea of extenuation might be found, but the act was incapable of defence. He had heard of articles which had been condemned because they were detrimental to a point of our commercial inte rest—to our territorial interest, or to our national ho. nour. Looking at this article even in these narrow view!, our interests had never been more completely abandoned (applause). It was an abandonment of our commercial interest, because the rising trade and industry of Africa was by it devoted to destruction ; of our territorial interest, because without equivalents possessions had been given up to the I reach, by which they might re-establish this inhuman traffic there, chiefly where civilization had made the greatest advances ; of our national honour, because if that ho. nour consisted, as it was always held to consist, in the observance of justice, humanity, and religion, all these principles were violated, and by a bond of blood, a nation was devoted to barbarism and suffer ings, at the bare relation of which human nnture shuddered. In whatever point of . view, therefore, this article of the Treaty was beheld, there was not one which suggested the possibility of justification. His Honourable Friend (Mr. Wilberforce) had spoken of the meritorious exertions of the officers of the navy, and of a gentleman then present (Captain Irby). Industry had been encouraged and the trade in slaves repressed ; that very coast, fir a line of 1200 miles trom the Cape of Senegal, was to be ceded by treaty to the French, and comprehended those points most convenient for the traffic in human beings. It had been said that there were in the hulks two men, who, under the Act for which Mr. Broug- 1 ham deserved so many thanks, were suffering for' . the crime of Slave-trading, and their punishment he (Lord Grey) hoped would not be ;emitted. But would not every friend of humanity feel a pang when lie reflected on the fact, that the very peint : where theie men were taken, Senegal, would again be opened to this inhuman traffic under the sanction of the British Government. He was afraid of trespass ing on the time of the Meeting, but he could not for bear expreSsing his conviction that unless the Treaty received some most important modification at the Genetal Congress, the traffic in slaves would be re newed in all its horrors—aye, even with aggravated horrors. It was vain to suppose, if France con tinued to carry on the slave trade to her colonies, that it would not be carried on to every colony in which the system of slavery existed, and, in fact, renewed throughout the world. There' was a piece of infor. mation which he had received since he had entered the room, which confirmed the opinion which he en tertained of the Treaty ; it was the intention of per sons who had an interest in the British Colonies to apply to Parliament for the renewal of the Slave Trade for the same period during which the French were to be allowed to carry it on ; and there were arguments in support of their request, which the per sons who had signed the Treaty would find it diffi-' cult to answer. This proposition he should reiist with all his energies, but he should fairly and at once declare, that considering the interests of the Africans alone, independently of future example, and the loss of national character, that people would be much relieved by our revival of the traffic; because we could allay the horrors of the middle passage, which in all probability other Governments would not be able to effect, and at the same time obviate the evils which must inevitably attend the concealment which would be necessary for the purpose of smuggling these unfortunate beings into our own colonies. He trusted that they did not suppose that he gave way to any arguments which could be adduced for this renewal, or that he could consent to such a derelic tion of national honour—to such an apostacy of the high path of virtue which we had chosen—to such a renunciation of the principles of humanity and jus tice which he had professed —to such a disqualifiga. tion of ourselves for the blessings which we invoked from the ALMIGHTY. (Applause.) His object had been to thew them the magnitude of the danger, that their efforts to avert it might be commensurate to it, and to beseech them that their 'feelings might not end in a temporary expression, but that they should im press them on the minds of their children, on their friends, on public assemblies, and strive in their fa milies, their counties, and in Parliament, to apply a remedy to this fatal article, by which this great ob- - ject of the friends of humanity was, he Would not say endangered, but completely 10. t. The Duke of Gtouces - res wished to know whether it was the sense of the Meeting, that the Resolutions should be put separately Earl Gum( rose merely to suggest two alterations in the R,elofittipns. In one place it was said, "W e recognize with satisfactiOn the principles pf humanity expressed in the article of the Treaty respecting the .Blaye.Trade, though we regret that . these principles are followed," etc. For his part he couldsee with no satisfaction the recognition of principles, which in the concluding, part of the article were so completely de. feated. He wished, therefore, that they should merely state the fact of the recognition, without any com ment. He also wished, after the expression of their opinion, that the consequence of the Treaty would be the renewal of the Slave Trade on a large scale, Ow they shoull add, gi And though accompanied' Wit!: provision that the traffic shall cease in five years, )et we cannot see that at the end of OA term it is likelse to cease." Mr. Winarnronce said lie had E. - Atha slightest obi jection to the alterations propoced. The Amendment moved by Earl Grey was then proposed and agreed to, and the Resolutions were thereafter -unanimously adopted. Mr. Willmar/to said he lead been desired to pro, pose to the Meeting a Petition, in conformity to the Resolutions which they had jest adopted. Aft." what had been already said, it would be difficult for any man to add any thing more to excite the feelings which were implanted in the ',yeast of every one of them before they assembled in that roam. For his part, he should feel himself incompetent to the task of addressing such an assembly, did he not consider that it was not himself who spoke to them, but mil. lions of the inhabitants of Africa who spoke to them through his month.—(Applauir.)—He hoped the, would all adopt the Petition which he had the honour to propose to them, and give their signatures to it. He wished all of them to t.se their influence in the diffusion of the sentiments of this Petition, tH ffey became national beyond all that was recorded in his- - tory, in order that Parliament, speaking the language for once of a united and universal people, might be enabled to restore us to the great and proud situation in which we stood before the siguature of the Treaty. We were now a degraded nation ; but although we were a degraded, it was not fitting that we should be - a despairing nation.— (ANdeese).—They had not only to appear betote Parliament, and to lay before the two Houses the general and universal expre.sion of their indignation at being Again involved in scenes of blood, misery, and murder ; but, as stated by. the Honourable Gentleman who had been so truly nam, ed the patron and defender of the African Slaves, and his Noble Friend near him, they had also to en.! deavour to diffuse these sentimen ts equine then nitres of France. . But to Ire.ableacs convey in urination'to the people of France, it was neceitarythat the Press of France should be open to them. They. would' find it, he believed, a difficult task to convey their senti ments to the people of France through the appropri. ate medium, the public papas ; for it was Lund ann .. possible taintroduce into the Gazettes -of ihae cone, try the Resolutions which had-been lately idripted on that subject by the British Legislature. -He had best often designated as a man at all times Ah earn: ;ate for peace ; but little didhe think that when the Treaty of Peace arrived; it would contain one article which would'bive the effect - of destroying Peace throughout a great part of the world, an, make him lament that a fence had been obtained on these terms , (4o/uure.)—He had boo represent ed as a man willing to Obtain Peace on any terms ; but had such terms been proposed to him, 'and he had been called to decide on them, rather than have peace on these conditions, he would have said, let the war be continued.-.(Lured otoleare,)-e This. was not a question between-one force of Go vernment and another ;. it was not a question of com parative strength • it was not a question of competi tion iii the race of insolence. Let what wowbil be the Government, and wboevet might be :thießolat : This was a question. which, with or without alliance, be would not be disposed to abandon, and till it was carried he thought the sword ought not to be sheathed, They had been told that there were in dividuals at present in dais country paying the pe nalty of their participation in this abominable traffic ; but they. might also have, been told, that on the very spot, : nthere these people had been condemned, the 'traffic . wits again made legal. He bad heard of the -satisfaction lately evinced -at Cey lon, on the convicticitt of a suet of miscreants who took advantage of a general famine, to steal a num her of those children who had been made orphans by it, for the purpose of selling them as slaves;—but when the knowledge of this Treaty came to that island, with what scoffing and reproaches would not these roan-stealers say to the people of this country, we had permitted that very traffic in others which we had punished in them, and meant to profit by it ; and that we bad,.as the price of peace, permitted others to carry on a trade which we blushed to carry op ourselves. It would be found impossible to carry the stipulation' for the abolition at the end of five years into effect, but by the sword, why, then, he would ask, did they sheathe the sword, when. with out shedding one drop of blood they might have produced an effect, which, at the end of five years they could not obtain but by the sacrifice 44 hundred thousands 'ef Europeans ? Why did we wish for peace, but as a cessation of the shedding of human blood ; but this Treaty was merely a transfer of the scene of human bloodshed. It was giving our licence, that millions of Africans should be agsUn con signed to all the horrors which this abominable trade gave rise to. They must again open the bloody vo lume which they imagined had been closed for ever ; for they might be assured that all the horrors .1' which they had read or heard would be acted over • stw p hh o heo w i vt t bh o r yr t hecaeodmi engaged, t do again.
