Around the table, at which the Prince Regent and his illustrious friends,sat, were also placed a number of rich looking-glasses, which added materially by reflecting the lights and different objects to the magnificence of the scene. Of the dinner and wines it is almost needless to say that the first consisted of all the delicazies, not only of the sea son, but which it was possible for money to procure ; and thaf the latter was of the most exquisite and costly flavour and description.

The aitide in the Definitive Trra!v, on this suliject„ La s caused much dissatislaction to be expressed qty many mem bers of both Houses of Fat-ha:neut. The regular Opp' , itiiin catch at it as a matter of coure, rejoiced to find so good theme fur declamation, providentially thrown in their wav ; andliome gentlemen, who are in the habit of voting with-Mi nisters, have also taken it up. We were prepared to expect the OppoTition would make. a strong stand on this point, when the Treaty came to be discussed, but we did not expect they would be disposed to go so far as they do. We did not expect to hear Mr. Whit bread declare, that rather than soccer the final abolition of it to be deferred for a period of five years, he world have the War continued to etc ni!rj !! ! This absurd assertion was. well calculated for the meridian of a tavern ; and accord ingly, we find in th..! report of his speech, that it called forth applause. We will not quariel with the feeling in NO•lich this originated, We doubt not it was good, but the best emotions of the human heart sometimes betray to folly.. It is just and proper, that we should compassionate the sor rows of Africa, and mitigate the surerings of her unhappy sons, by every means in our power. But arc not European.% entitled to some mercy as well as Africans Have tit:'.; suf fered nothing? Hits the awful conflict which has lust closed, given them no sorrows of their own to bewail?

What would huma nity gain, if our Government were mad enough to go to war for such an object? What would the hundreds of thousands of European widows and orphans, caused by 'his struggle, say, when told their husbands . and fa thers were immolated on the altar of sensibility ? Would they not say, they were unjustly deprived of their nathral Prot. ctors ? and migfit they not, with some spew 4.1 reason, contend, that the European's blood ought to be valued by Mr. Whitbteaa and his f:i,:nds, as much as the African's freedom ?
