NiTIONAI, REGISTER._ i:ed to pt.i an end to one detestable traffic, why not Spain ? If it h.• asked, France dares persevere in rejecting the voice of British nation, how dares Spain, who owes us so much la. ger obligations ? We must cunfess we look on with some alarm to those strides on the part of Ferdinand, and the indaerence that is shewn to them; what 1.3 every man's business seems to he no man's concern, and those principles 'which have been the common topic of gratulation to the well-wishers of rational liberty, which the prudent wisdom of the Allies so effectually proinked to ex.end, are insulted and abused by a pupil of that a bominable" school, that would renovate the last hope of d eT oiisni, and rehnild the edifice which the wisdom and virtue of mankind had, by common consent, devoted to just and merited destruction*. :phew us a more noble cause than this for the Philan thropist, av i d we will devote our whole lives to the equal struggle of Africa and Spain Let the two objects be united. Let Ferdinand be apprised that England, though generous, is jn:t—though enlightened, is teseutful; and that her power, built fur ages upon the reasonable fidelity of the understand ing, will neither permit or compromise the existence of un hallowed traffic on the one hand, or the revival of those bigotted and ha; barons institutions on the other, which fur ages intercepted the lights of philcsophy and the progress of true liberty. • The two Spnoists 'Editors of New , pnpers, have not been hanged nee but nt by tilt : t to the galleys on the coast ot All ic for six years , and the triter, a to confinement and disciprinc the %Owe period to a (70::vela Private lett r. as,. rt, that dh.)tibtaction (no wondet !) ; arre , ts cohtinue, General F.t.io hall been imprismied, the t 3 ,,,t-othee is nutter re.trietions, and the most arhitrary proceetimes are resorted tu, preparatory to gi% ing the people a free Cunstitutt u ! !—( The .Sun.) /MP E R L 1 1 .1 LLIMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. 3i:lX 3. nion, that, supported . as we weir in the Ist- contest, by the Em. perors of Russia and Austria, and the King of Prussia, and giving law, not receiving .it from France, we must have succeed 4 4, if a proper stand had been made, in withholding not met e.y f o.n that country the power of continuing this inhuman traffic, but in putting a stop to it wherever it was carried on. Was Parham nt, thit had voted the extirpation of this trade, and this land of freedom, midi It cried out against its injustice, to be made accessories to, and abet. tors of, slavery ? France has at present no Slave Mei cliaots, the article alluded to must therefore have a prospective view, al d be of the most fatal tendency. His Lordship concluded by moving for copies of such parts of the dispatches from the Ilristish Minister cm. ployed to 'teem:late tile Definitive Treaty of Peace, as related to the Slave Trade. The Earl of Lt VERPOOT. said, the fair view of the question "a' to I consider what would have been the case provided no such clause hmt beet' introduced. Woolf! not France have carried it on ? How then can it be raid that the stipulation is of no avail which states, that • alter the stipulated period it shall totally cease ? With iespef!t to our dictating to Fratice upon the subject, he contended, that n na • tion possessed a right to dictate to another upon the sub je, ; foe upon that p r incipal y ou might insist upon tho abolition of be i quisitio-.1 in Spain. He professed his opinion ever was, that be ao lition of the Slave Trade would be beneficial as well as d: init • t o this country ; but it is quite another• thing to make tl at the sine qua non to France upon which her colonies are to i e re Awed. Even were you to adopt this, you could not enforce it to thug: colo nies that may be in the possession of others. It was his tirua con viction that the French Government had a sincere intention of abolishing it, by preparing time minds of the Colonists for that mea. sure ; and that there exists in the breasts of our Allies a favourable disposition towards time abolition, which would have been endangered by-pursuing any other course. He objected to the production of the papers and information moved fOr, as tending to embarrass and in jure the negociation, and fuinish those who %.• e disposed with the means of throwing impedimeots in the way ; and concluded by stat in 2:, that if attempted to force the measure you never could ex. fleet cordial; :y. Lord Hot.r. %No reprobated in warm terms the introduction of the article in the Treaty. and supported the motion of Lord Grenville. Lord GREY amid the Marquis of LANSDOWNE argued on the same Aide.
