I !WIC. to auy other port. That heing the state in which Use intercourse w..a carried on under the cxistitit laws. lie thought it would he better to allow the direct inter course at once. --(Cries of hear, hear, near.) If the • Committee looked to the nature of tie trade as i t was carried on hetor-M the Colonies, thew.to-lid 6nd the. they had deported from the spirit of the Navigation • Laws. The alteration, there }.re,. which he meant to pl.-pose, would not rttert so Wrest s change front the pre sent protirets sonic !inn. tiontlemen might have ;Jeep intluved to enl.po•e. 'I he first part of his plan was to rroeti all the parer Acts which regolated the trade heretofore, and then to consolidate into a system all the ' which woulf in rotore regulate the intercourse. 0.,e of the Bills whirls he intended bringing in, would apply to the c mercial intercourse between our North Ameriran and West Indian Colonies and the United States of America. Ihe other would apply to the inter cohere between the former and Europe. Ile utetint to allow that articles then pertnit!eol to be imported into the ports of Great Britain, might be imported in Britiab or foreign ships into other ports of Europe to be named" hereafter.. He would, however, have those ships re stricted and navigated as the law then required with re gard to British ships. Under those restrictions. he would allow the importation into other ports in Europe of such articles as it was then legal to import into Eng land: That arrangement would apply to the islands of , America. He would r , commentl, to h tve foreign ships put on the seine footing with British ships. Fur the, consequence of a contrary course would he, that foreign' powers would put the same ictions on British mem eel,. One objection might be urged against the mea sure lie was proposing, on the part of our North Ameti— can Colonies. It was not right to overlook in that sr -1 rangetnent the claims of our North American Colonies our regard for their interests; A great deal was due to the steadiness and fidelity of those Colonies to this country. Great consideration was due to the tirinarss Of their adherence to the mother country, and to the si toilarity of their laws and institutions. They were both governed by the same laws, formed by the same habits, %poke the same language, and had the same character istic traits of feeling. It was therefore but reasonable, that they should be protected by imposing a certain duty On all articles from other countries, which could he had from those colonies. It was but reasonable to give them the benefit of a fair protecting duty. That duty, however, should be settled on a moderate scale. The object of the old measure bring to extend our foreign trade, it would be onreasonable to increase the scale of ditties so as to annol the object which thee had in view. That was the nature of the •neastire which he meant to submit to the Committee. Ile hoped he bad shown by a comparison with the former laws, that the alteration Odell he was shout to primate would not effect any great change. So far from the measure, in his opinion. hating attended with any injurious effect to the naviga• lion of the country, he was quite confident both the its tigution antl commerce of the country would prosper ht it. There was another point which it was right that i'arliament should consider. Nn one !mold see how long the colonies of Spain or Portugal would be subject to their ouastivs. 1 bey might erase, no matter whether . de Jere or defeat', to belong to the mother countries, sod by the IlleillßWE which he wag going to propose, the trade with them would he established in foreign ships, as it would be with the independent States of America. The trails with the Brazils and Cuba was open to the wh.tle world. It was wrong and unwise to allow free trade with the Brazils and Cuba, &r., but not to allow it with the United States of America. That was an on Wise and partial node of regulating our interests with indepeoilent states. We ought to look to the policy adopted by other states towards their colonies, but par ticularly of Spain and Portugal towards the Brazils and Luba, the trade with which was open to the whole worl4.—(Hear,hear.)—lf they permit a more unrestrict• ell intercourse than torinerly with their colonies, and it Great Britain adhered rigidly and pertinaciously to the system of exciudon, and not pat 'her colonies on I:.e seine footing of free intercourse, the effect would he most injurious to time interests of those colo nies. Another !otitis in which the question ought to be viewed, was that which regarded the Slave Trade. Notwithateutting the many sod great tempts tious, this country had to continue that odious trade, yet most nobly a n d most disinteremedly,' they were the hat to aboliell it, and on the abolition of that traffic, they raised an everlasting memorial of their warns itimity. humanity, and greatness as a nation. They load also exerted themselves to obtain the support and concurrence of other States in that great cause. They hail Weed got a nominal support. Spain and Portugal still carried on that traffic in the Brazils anti Cuba. But this conntry having abolished that trade in her colonies ought to give them the greatest latitude of trade. Look ing then to all those circumstances, he taught they 'f looded the twist unanswerable arguments in favour of , opening the trade with the colonies. That was the most eilectual mode of giving relief to the colonies. Par liament ought to condoler how to give relief to the Uri [l4o proprietor anti to the negro under his protection.— If they removed the restrictions,) and broke asunder the letters by which co 11111 l erce was bound, there was 110 cal -1 &dating the beneficial results Which would follow. He uid out think he could give any Mitt r illnstratoom of the 'trees of a free trade than the application of the words of * great poet of their own country, in allusion to the influence of climate ou the soul -•• What seasons can contort', What fancied zone can circumscribe the soul Who. conscious of the source from which The springs, Bt remain' light, on resolution's wings, Spite of her frail companion, dauntless goes. cr Llb)a's deserts, and date Zerubla's sa Asus." That was Hie language applied to the souls of men, but was far short of this description of the soul of commerce. The Right Hon. Oentleman, after a few more observa tions. conclnded, amidst loud cheers front both aides of the House, by moving the two following Resolutions:- 14. Tim' the Chairman do move for leave to bring in a bill to regulate the trade between his Majesty's posses awns in America and the West Indies, and other places in Mlle( ice —and 2nd. That the Chairman move for Lave to bring iu a Bill *to regulate the initial between title altajesty's possessions iu the West Indies and other places, exclu.ive of America. On the question being put by the Chairman en the first Resolution, WILBERFORCF., in a low tone, expressed his apprehension, lest the extended intercourse between on. Colonies and foreicn possessions, proposed Dr the Right Hon. lientleinan, should give increased facilities for the illicit traffic in Slaves. The Registry Bills lot 'Halted no adequate security, for though that measure had been carrit.ti into complete effect in the Island of 'Frinidad, it had not been adopted in all our colonial possmnions. Mr. BARHAM said. it would be worse than mViness to think of importing slaves, when our colonies had not the supporting them. He trusted his lion. Friend wool.l inform himself further, before be suffered it to go forth as his opinion that the present measure was calculated to encourage the Have trade. • • . Mr. WILBERFORCE, in explanation, said, that at/ hen isan t observe was, that increased into course would give increased tacilities forillicit traffic, and would there ittre call for addhional securities. Mr. MARRYATT contended that, on the mare 0' THE STATESMA,IV. . - humanity le the Hawes theattelgro. 'lbis was a n!••e r ' tibial; ?tight to inept with the Maori Hate B:Adios of the Ilhaae.

He. remembered hie. Burke's ex pressiona, that they were to be tied, not strangled. He would tie them. But.if this Bill or sow. such measure, did not pass, they would inevitably be Imag o ( led. He had known the worst consequences to follow in those islands from the impolicy of many of our laws relating to their trade. One of the greatest sources of evil to the colonies was the law which prevented English ma nufactured goods to be exported from one island to an other. This was a mischief of such a nature as to call loudly for redress, red therefore he hoped that a clause would be introduced to remove so impoltnr a restriction. Mr.slP. BUXTON contended, that as we had a mo nopoly of the market of the West Indian Colonies, we were nor justified in admitting a competitor, as bad been done of late, in permitting the importation of East Indian sugar. He considered, however, that that guts tiou was not yet settled. a s the Ch a nc e ll o r of the Exche quer had promised it should be relerred to a Committee. With regard to that part of the question which con ceroed the carve, he begged to ob , that the great principle by which they should be governed in legis- Iraq. for them, was to make the adscriptii glebe the foundation of all regulation. lle did nut know if the House was aware of the light in which a slave teas beld in the Colonies. It was none other than that of a 1 chattel. Ile might he sold from the home which gave him birth, and which might be endeared to hbn hy all the ties of the Dearest kindredship, to any ofthis4anat*s of the old Colony, like any other utortaie pewporty.-e- This, in his oinion. was most gross, room, lord abominable in j ustice; and if they wer ew galled upon to stake concessions to the &eater s called upon thew to begin the work of einancipati , by establish. ing as a principle the adscription to tale soil. There were many other branches of the subject he should wish to see fully considered. Amongst these were, the .1w dicisl System and the Matrisge Regulations; bat be would not at that time embarrass the consideration pf the question before them with these theaters. Mr. HUSKISSON thought his Right Hon. Frieid (Mr. Robinson) was misinterpreted, when he was repre sented as coming forward with a measure for the ado salve advantage cobeha a nt e -t1 the t h i :t a t:s en t e , and d discovered c oloniss \ de ° most statesman-like statestnan-like principles in the proposition of a measure po for the benefit of this country and of mankind in general, and for the immediate relief of the colonies. Two oh jections had been raised tu the measure—one was the slave.trade, and he was sure his Hon. Friend for Breather would not suspect him of any wish to countenance that abominable traffic. It certainly was most unfortunate that that iniquitous trade was continued by foreign countries; but he hoped his Hon. Friend would nut sup pose that his Majesty's Oovernment in this measure, as well as all others, would neglect the consideration of the import int interests involved in that question. His Hoe. Friend would see that the direct operation of this mea sure would be to diminish the foreign Slave-trade. In ":e first place, whatever tended to benefit the master lutist he equally beneficial to the slave. Besides that, by throwing open the foreign markets to the produce of our colonies, we should destroy the trade of America with Cuba, aid the Brazils, so fertile in the propagation of the Slave-trade. tot only was this expedient in policy, ton it was due in justice; for as we by our regulations had mainly contributed unintentionally to the over-pa isolation and overproduction of the West-Indian Colo n e., we were bound to find a remedy for the evils con segment epos the surplus produce. nonage of the East India sugar, wherein we deprive their colonies of their accustomed demand, made an irresistible claim to a re laxation of restrictions. it had bean the ancient, bat mistakes policy of this rountry. to look at the Welt In dian Colonies as a moans only of trading with Africa for slaves. Justice and relights had dictated the cessation of this policy; but the consequence of it was, the evils of over-population he bad mentioned. As we, therefore, bad been the means of promoting this by Ise:roles, trea ties, and many sacrifices, it was incumbent on us now consider the means of administering with the same ... relief. There were so doubt many other importan t mat ters to consider coutettted with the subject as mentioned by the Hon Member opposite (Mr. Buxton) but this was not the time. They might be of great interest, but when they were granting a boon to the colonies fur the benefit also of the mother conatry, and the slaves, they could not consistently, with the interests of all parties admit of the delay which would accrue from a mixing op with it of questions rely important, nay, delicate anddif ficult to settle.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. PLUMER, congratulated the House on the dis position shown to afford relief to the distressed Colonists. Mr. EVANS thought that this was a favourable op portunity fur denaanaing of the Colonial Legislature the regulation of the Slave-trade, when we were granting them this measure. Mr. ROBINSON said, the particular ports to be opened to traders would be specified in the Bill, with power to the King in Council to extend the privilege; and Ott for the better security against illicit importa tion of slaves, those ports would be selected where there was an establishment of Custom-house officers. 31r. W. SMITH said it was the first time he had heard it stated that we had cherished ow West Indian Colonies in order to encourage the Slave Trade. He bad always Wore thought we had encourved the African Slave Trade for the purpose of colonizing our West Indian possessions. He thought the property of those colonies Was in a state of great depression ; but he could not un derstand that there was any such hurry for the passing of this measure that otherimportant arrangements could not be considered and i. chided in it. He would not, however, throw any impediment in the way. Mr. HUSKISSON explained. Mr. PHILLIPS said be hoped that the consideration of uu one or more individual interests of this country would he permitted to interfere nith a measure silica, was consistent with the soundest principles of commer cial policy and justice. lie wu convinced that by the operation of this measure a stop might be put to the continuance of the slave trade. Mr. BRIGHT was of UpTuion that Canada ought to have the advantage of the proposed or . It was unwise to throw difficulties iu the way of this measure, which was calculated to give a blow to the remains of the slave trade, and by the progression of civilization to confer the highest benefits on the Slaves of the West India Colonies.—(llear.) After a few words from Mr. BUTTEIWORTN, that were not distinctly audible in the g a llery, th e reso l u ti ons were agreed • to.

Mr. HIIME wished to know why so large a soot was wanted for *nen a purpose, which could sot he a good our. It was putting money into the bands of Ministers, which might be turned to a bad purpose. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY conceived it was an Irish proposition to call for the manner in whir' every suti. for secret service had been disposed This, however, he had no hesitation to say, that a great part of this expense arose oat of circumstances armlet from the war. Mr. HUME maintained, that so large a au m u 40,000/. could not be wanted fur Secret Serv i ce. Ministers had already misapplied a great part of this money in fraying the expenses of the proceedings against late Queen, which wu a purpose conteuylated the Act. The hfarquess of LONDONDERRY said, when th.) pruceediog was carried on abroad, it caws under . description of Secret Service. Mr. MOIIHOUSII contended, that an account should ise given of the application of this large sum, and he sada not ww why any of the money of this country illbsedd be employed in bribing persons at foreign Courts. Mr. ARBUTHNOT said, a less sum hail been volt last year for this service, because a considerable sui had remained in band from the vote of the precetli. year. The Resolution was then agreed to. On a Resolution for granting 22,0001. for makii geed the deficiencies in the Fee Fund of the °dices the Treasury - and ;he Secretaries of State, a short con versation took place, in which Mr. flume, the Chancel lor of the Exchequer, Mr. Arbuthnot, Dlr. Ware, Mr Secretary Peel, and Mr. Banker participated. Eventu ally the Resolution was agreed W. Mr. ARBUTHNOT next moved a Resolution , emoting 79,794!. for the expense of Messengers in the Offices of the Lord Chamberlain, the Secretaries State, &v. UME considered the grant too large; and par calarly objected to the 30,00111. fur the expense of Mes srs in use Office of the Secretary of State for Fe The Marquess of LONDONDERRY stated that there was considerable inter:mune between this country ae foreign ::ourts, which rendered the expense for courtei to which the it • 44 ble Gentleman bad alluded, indis plausible. After a few words from Mr. Secretary Peen. Mr. BZNNST, who contended that our home, foreigt and colonial service would be equally well performed at a reduced expense, moved, as an Amendment, to subeti• lute the sum of 6,1,7941. fur that of 76.7941. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER supported the original proposition. Mr. HUME wished to know why so large a charge was made for the 31ristoarrs of the Home Office? Mr. HOULOURN replied, that a part of the chars. consisted of the regular wages of the Messengers; and that iu curs of Reprieves, &c. it was always considered more safe to send Special Messengers. On a division there appeared— For the Amendment 19—Against it 67—Majority 48. The original Resolution mu then agreed to. The next Resolution was, that a sum not exceedh 7,6911. 6s. 24. should be gianted to his Majesty to fray the alio minces, compensation., and superannua tion, to persons formerly employed in public ofliees, according to an Act passed in the 50th year of his late Majesty. Mr. HUME observed, that the House had been given to understand that all charges to Consuls were included in the third class. but the present Estimate contained an allowance to three retired Consuls. He would there fore move that the amount be reduced to the sum - e,701L Lord LONDONDERRY said, that the effect of agree log to the Amendment would be to withdraw from three aged Gentlemen the provision which Govern ment bad felt it their duty to make fur them in conside ration of their services. One of these was SO yeais c.` age, and had served forty years ; another tai, and had served for the same period ; and a third 60, and be d thirty F ears. Mr. lit:3lL said, he did not object to paying them. but to paying them in this way, alien provision ought to be made fur them ander the head of the Third Class. After a few words from Mr. Arbuthnot, Dr. Phi... more, and Mr. Rennet, the Atuendotrut was negatived, and the original motion agreed to. The following Resolutions were then agreed to, wii out any amendment. 22,1761. to discharge the expense of the Civil Esta blishment of Sierra Leone. 13,3171.

Mr. A RrUTHNOT moved that the house should re solve itself into a Committee of Supply. Mr. RENNET said. as it was then half past nine o'clock, and there was one subject of considerable im portance likely to be brought before them in the esti antes (he was understood to mention the opthalmic esta blishment. an immense volume respecting which he had lately read) he hoped the Right Hon.
