Tor him to tell their Lordships, that, netwlthilland. leg the boon entertained by this artistry duet the mea.0..1 adopted for peteng an end to tke Sian Trifle would be soccessfel, these hopes wales as yet far from !lidera realised. It was still carried on not only wider the leg of those two Powers who had nor set agreed :rr abolish it, but under the lags of those by which that detestable traffic was complete. ly renoanced. It was carried on to a very great int. ten t'nender the flag of France, the Government of which convey had declared against the trade, and taken tonne to suppress it. This state of things, ishich Heir Lordships mast seriously lenient, could not hot convince them of the necessity of p lug in their efforts to obtain the complete abolition 14 ibis trade. What •hey had already done would eine to nanny them to proceed. The manner in which the *elfish opposition of the individuals in this **entry who were interested in the trade had been got IM hotter of, gave their Lordships reason to hope, that if they exerted the same perseverance to • me the obstacles which presented themselves is ether parts of the world, they would be success ful. As to the means, their Lordships must be aware that it was esty by allowing a log, common ter this purpose to the great Maritime Powers, to be exerted against the common enemies of mankind, that the selfish Interests which sepported this nets. nines traffic could be completely pet down. In call ing their Lordships' attention to this subject, it was impossible not to consider the different state in which the Powers of Europe stood with regard to tho oho. All ncept two Powen (Portugal and Spain) bad pot an mod toil, and the former of these Powers bed es yet fixed no period for the final termination of else trade. Some Powers which had acknowledged the justness of the principle of Ow abolition, yet bad adopted no active matures for enforcing it.— With regard to France, the Covenant had sin. eevely concurred in the abolition ; bet unfortunately in the nisei*s of that country, and particularly in those which bad been restored on the peace, the trade bad been renewed by &elfish Individuals, sod carried on under circumstances of great atrocity.— In Senegal, in particular, it appeared that certain persons, regardless of the menus by which they for. warded their selfish ends, had succeeded in stifling innocent end useful seems of commerce with the natives, in order that they might be enabled to carry es this wicked bet more profitable trade. He could cot but entertsie a hope that the French Genre. meat would renounce that policy which gave itosub jects the opportunity of thus acting I. a way ince.. aisteat with its views. A Government professing such liberal priociplee as the French Monarchy now did, would not front any narrow views refese to concur in measures calculated to secure an object sc. knowledged to be alike called for by policy and he inanity. It never could be the nigh of that Go vernment to see the same vessels which carried oat the Proclamation for the sbolitioo of the traffic, oonnyleg at the same lime the means of main talelog it. But if he was sanguine with regard to the disposition of France, still more sanguine was be Is his anticipation of the future conduct of the United States of America. Within these few months the Coors's bad passed as Act for the par pow of enforcing their Abolition Laws, by which beety pesalties were imposed on all mmHg found in any way implicated in this iniquitous frolic. It was 'lrvine. however, es long es there remained a lag not liable to be searched, even though it should be the flag of a Power which bad agreed to the abolition, that wicked and selfish persons would take shelter under that flag, and avail themselves of the facility it could not fail to afford them. lie did set think the United ita would be deterred by any little cl.ffi. co hire which it appeared might be easily over ' is forming an arrangement for the great abject of rendering the sbolitioo *genteel. If soy Power was to be supposed os this occasion es likely to act more sincerely than another with Greet Britain, that Pellet was tie United States. These States bad derived from this country that atrocious static, but they bad also derived from us those in inciples of liberty and humanity, by which they bad been led to be the first in abandoning it. From this country these States had also derived that spirit which taught them to protect innoceace,_ and resist oppression and tyranny. T here Wee therefore no doubt bat that the Ansrvican Government would eagerly listen to an, plan which might be proposed for completing the great work of aboliti“n by giving feller effect to the Nor enacted by Congress. If, therefore, such an understand.og as he supposed practicable should take place Wens this country sod France and the United States, the smaller Powers would readily con. cur in the same system of maritime police. From the disposition which Portugal had manifested, it per. kap+ might be 'imposed that all would not agree to submit to a march; bat if, after so genus, an or nilpotent as he hod supposed should be effected, if say single powe: held out, it would than be for the other powers to consider whether any siogle state should be permitted to act on a system not only hos tile to the interests and policy of others, but calculat ed to propagate the worst of crimes, and spread mi sery limos' mankind. On these grounds, he sub mitted to their Lordships the motion he was about to sake. The Noble Marquis coocladed by moving an Address to the Prince Regent, congratulating his Royal Highness for what had been already acree. plished towards the Abolition, and grain farther efforts to be made for the same object, particulatly by segociations with Frew and the United States.— Übe Address was, throegheet, to the same effect es that moved on Wednesday last io the llama Com mons by Mr. Wilberforce.] The Address was agreed tn, The Marquis of LANSDOWN presented a Peti tion frets Barosteple against tention.—Adjoer old.

There were about 300, of all ages, and both Ines, seedy doomed Or son% with good waggons sod horses, sod nothing of poverty is their appearance. They bed chosen frets aioseg their own body two judges or leaders, who maintained strict order, and to whom punctual obe &soca was paid. One of them, who Ind been a schoolmaster in hie own country, heists requested to explain the cause of their vesication, at last said, that their consciences had been wounded by violations of the seciest Lutheran doctrine, by forciug upon them changes in the Belief end Liturgy. Their aversion to Ibis constraint mss shown, be said, by a thousand families, who were silo on the point of emigrating.— This complaint made with onsespitioes frankness, appeared to many persons quite inconceivable, con. Adoring the well-known orthodox muniments and firmness of many distinguished Divines of Tobiegen and Stutgard, and the liberality of the King of Wit. Lemberg; and it was therefore resolved, by giving publicity to this circumstance, to obtain, it possible, some mere satisfactory information. [This is coo. tamped in the follosiag articIe:— ] WIRTINIIRIO, Just 23.—We have aWs Liter. gy. Only this is tree ; It was substituted for one which was truly out of date, and which could no longer satisfy the greater part even of the less en. lightened. Not that we have a new Liturgy, but that we did not have it till about 10 years ego, may, perhaps, be a reproach to the beads of our Erosion en Church. It was, la truth, received with approba tion. Of above 800,000 Protestants in the kingdom of Wiriemberg, there were scarcely 400, who belong to the class of gloomy Pietist', eho i soon after the appearance of the new Liturgy, joined to cache dis like to it. They complained, that in the Order of Baptism no mention was made of the Devil. Amis. tomed to indulge the consciences of the weak, our King, io concert with the opiness of the Evan gelic Consistary, has permitted that, whenever in dividuals may desire it, use may be made in lisp tine of the question of the old Liturgy where the Devil is mentioned. Coo this be called oppression of the conscience and religious constraint ? Bet these gloomy devotees were not satisfied with this indulgence; they went further, and demanded the entire restoration of the old Liturgy.- Whoa they found that the better part would not be given op, for the sake of a few misled men, they threatened to emigrate, unless they were allowed to form separate politico-religions communities.
