Mr. CA LCRA FT said, lie shirttail support the measure, fur the purpose of introducing the quration before the tribunal, where its merits could be properly ascertained. The motion of his llou. Friend was merely to appoint a Committee up stain., for the purpose of examining whether the measure should pass into a law; and if the House rejected the proms , 'ldiom the consequences to those unfortunnte persona might be dreadful. The only mimeo: to which lie should pledge himself was, that a Committee should be appointed, in order to ascertain whether the measure was practicable or nut. Dr. PH ILLI MORE supported the amendment. It was not the humanity or benevolence or Me. Maxwell the House should consider, hat abettor it were wise principle to open the dour to the practice of transporting slaves from the island in whirls they were born to some foreign poesession where it would be inure Is the advantage of their master. This system wrouhtiiperrite against the benevolent principle on which they had heretofore acted, fur it would locum* their value, while it was univeisally admitted that it was lit the redueltan of their value they were ultimately to *IS - fur their WWI disfranehlusnent. > wi Mr. WILBERFORCE said, the more he considered' the gm-sawn, the more and mole impostant it appeared le him. The idea oftransplasit lug to foreigu country three hundred human beings from the country of their birth, to which they bad been united by so many iliousnusl tits carried something on the fare of it, sevoliing to all the best frelings of our hear)—Beside• the Honer were to consider the extreme difference between the tsar) places. la the Island of Antigua thr se persons were conspara tea ly happy. The climate was far more healthy, their com forts were wore numerous. Besides, the House should bear in mind the different state of society that existed. In the island of Antigua, slaves wi re admitted as evidence in a Court of Justice, and they had votes at elections. All these rolvatitagre Bien this measure killed to remove. If ever there were a Prienoe Biel that Jeseeerd the name or a public one, it was this, which affected so vitally the lives and lisp. piness of so why human beings. Would the House then consent to transplant these ittilividuals into a foreign clime, la lime nothing but the gloomy psonpect i.f slavery swelled them, and all hopes of emancipation were at an cod.? But there was one cousideratiou more important than all the rest. In the Island of Demerara, the Moravian religion prevailtil very gEcerally.They were plunged into the grimiest superstition. The odious soiree-stilton of Obi possessed el most universal away over their minds, which happily had been banished from Antigua by the toil,' and beneficent spirit of Cluialisnity. The institution of marriage too, which under the blessings of Chi istianity tended more than any other to the happoires of mankind, was unknown in Demerara. In Antigua, the mural condition of the slaves was far superior to that its the island to which the ',epeeist • proposed to unitive 'limn. Althoneh the bright sun of Christianity had nut yet appeared in its full splesolour, yet the faint rays whir bit shed tlluuuuel their MIMIC, and dispelled the mists of iguorauce iu which they were enveloped.—(l/ear, hear.) Would the House the° give its unction to a use which drove them from this dawning happiness to a place where all was 'airbus+ and despair? On a former occasion they had declined to interfere in the eolouial legislation; stud *wild they now violate this principle, and interfere in a manner w Welt would diminish the comforts and bappinees of those unfortunate slaves. This iisterfercuee would be at war wish all the first principles ofjostice. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY expressed his sur pi lie at the application now under the consideration of the Rouse. fie laniesioal that it could in any degree have been justified on the ground of precedent. The roily fair question be foe the House was, *hi titer on the principle of its being legal and proper to allow the transferring of slaves from island to island, it was Equally proper to allow that 'tauter from insular to cuutioental colonies. If the affirmative of that position were to be established, the advantage, whatever it might be, ought to be emended to every island in the West Indies. In his opinion to open the fell& lauds of the South American Contitient to the truster of the West huhu slaves would lead to the entire depopulation of the islands; mew the Hun. and Learned Mover was prepared to take up this measure or) the geueral principle, he would 1.31,C nu arlioud for his particular ease. Mr. Maxwell bad an estate iu Gienaila, why did he nut apply fur the trausfer of the slaves to that estate I He applied to the House on the dry principle of col *al speculation alone. Sir .1. MAC( I NTOSH wee sorry dissent from Lin re spectable Friends, but he was compelled to state the reasons OpOU *lnch he. was about to vote. The arguments of Isis rcspertAlplc and %curable Friend near him, humane and elo quent as they wese, hail no applicatiott to the case. The transfer and slisuniuts of this family of sieves (for such they had been constituted through the mild and merciful treat- Ulf tit of their owner). was not the matter its question. That right Mr. Maxwell fully possessed by the law as it then stood. Mr. Maxwell could nut cultivate his estates iu Asi liana without immedsate rosin. Ile must there dispose of his Ames if not allowed to transit r them to ass estate which would make their labour sufficiently profitable to maintain them. The fair question therefore was, whether it would be mime humane to t ransfer thew to an estate of his own, or leave them to be disposed of IV the chances of traffic elsould de- WI mita., He latrouted that Mr. Maxwell's zeal for the prin ciple of abolitiou should have laid him open to such re mark. as liad been applied to him. He blamed not his Hon. and Venerable F. tend near boa; it was a cruel fatality be longing to the eubjeet which they were discussing. It bad been argsall that thus Demerara laws were more harsh than those of Asoligus. That was the fault of the Government for stifferine their continuance. He maintained the right of every Sete to alter the laws of province. ergo's rot by COUpleld or evilest to them, if they found those laws snore severe Dims could Lc justified OD the around of unwillingness to alter established usages. He wished fur the Bill to be scut to a Committee. The House ought to take nonce of the eussilitinos to which • Mr. Maxwell wished to blunt himself. It had been elo quently described what gseal advantages arose to slaves I from fixing their locality. The voice of history proclaimed the tniproveinent which had tskeu place iu the condition of abuse pomslatious, even in Ibis country, by the achscriptio glebes. The coons xions which the slaves formed under those circumstance~ wets favourable to their progressive counci lpatinas--and it was thus that the chains of slavery, having become gradually lootested, is the end were tliresava off the Mr. BARING thought that great mistakes prevailed on the policy of slave keeping. Where slaves fell in valve, the only effect was, that they became neglected and subjected to cruelty. The abolition laws had proceeded upon that mistake; the consequence was, that slaves had become inure valuable than they ever were befure,cspecially in the striation States of North America, where the saute principle had been acted on. It was a fallacy to look for any benefit in the condi tion of slaves from a reduction of their value. He would not vote for the Bill before the House, if he did not think the principle • sound one; he mairsta.ned the necessity of allowing a free transfer of slaves from nue colony to another. Mr. PEEL tlitaight that lie had never heard of a case which Ipeicloudly calleil.& eight almost have said, for the indignant wejeetion of the Hesse: He was astonistul at the narrow wicwovhiclt had been-taken of the subject, lie did nut know whither ur not the opinions expressed by his gallant Fries's! opposite, wlriele had been judged su severely by the Hun. Geullensan who had just sat down, were in accordance with the finer priuciples of p economy; but this appeared plaits to Io i 11l , that if that lion. Member could eatablish his principle av s general one, he would du away with every thing which could be urged for the particular case. Why was any one 'number of the community to be allowed au advantage denied to all the rest ? lie greatly doubted, however, that any such general principle could be set up. What he chiefly deplored, however was, to have seen the learning, eloquence, and plsilos.rphy, of the Mo. and Learned Gel/titling' Oppo.llte 111 setting lip a specious" and flimsy opposition to the humane awl unanswerable appeal of the Hon. Member for Bramber. The case must be hope. less indeed when such an alvocate was compelled to have recourse to suet, weapons. He had dwelled upon the ad. vantages of the adseriptio gleber. He had de.eathed it as giving rise to those feelings and canuexions whurb were the unly solace of slavery; the local atiartments, the ties u place, kindred, and friendship, which were to be preserved by that valuable regulation. Turning to the Bill, larseever, bc found that it was a measure to transport 350 slave,' from Antigun to D.-merge", What necessity fur ? Why not sell them in Antigua? Surely all the estates were Out in this unprofitable and dilapidated state. if the estate were to he dismembered by it, this would not be that absolute description of social sympsthie• and courier:ions which must take place ru the removal to Dc . It would be more humane to sell *hens the neighbouring islands; the consequences would not be half so grievous ; they woad some of them live iu sight of their native laud, and all of thesis would have occasional oportunitire for visiting it. He considered the Bill as an attempt to revive a qualified slave trade. Of any principle, whether of justice, humanity, or precedent, be was opposed to the Bill. Mr. BARHAM thought that the only quistion for the House to consider and determine was, whether or nut it would be for the benefit or injury of the 3t9 slaves to be removed to Demerara; if fur the benefit, the Bill should be allowed to pass. Sir 1. COFFIN koew something of the West fathom culimies. He was certain that there were 1113 where more kind masters than in Autigua, slid so conscious were the slaves of this, that he really believed that they would prefer basing their thrusts cut to being transported from the island.

On our readmission to the gallery, we found the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moving the Order of the Ds) , fur the House going into a Cons. tuittre of %Vey. and Means. Mr. Hume rose to complain of the delay in laying the financial accounts of the last year be. fuse the House ; they had only been printed and put into the hands of Members that morning. He also complained that papers connected with the financial statements for the ensuitig)e4r, instead of having been generally circulated among the Mem bers, had only been privately distributed among the friends of the Right lion. Gentleman opposite, and he was sure that anie.a the Right Finn. Gentle man meant to take the House by surprise, or to prevent the detection of any mistatement, he could see no othe r purp os e winch such u mode of dis tributing papers could answer. The CHANCE:LLCM of the EXCHEQUER disclaimed any such intentiou ; and added some observations, which we could not collect. The Order of the Dity having been read, the Home then resolved itself into a Committee, and The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to lay before the House a statement of the Ways and Means by which he proposed to defray the es !reuses of the current year. lie would, in the first place, read over to the House a short statement of the Supply for the years ending fifth Jusioary, 182 U and 1821, and then he would point oast the Ways and Means. The amount of the Supply voted for the expenses of the army fur 1810 was 9,443,243/. and for the present year, 1821, 8,750,000/. beluga reduction in that brauch of 693.243/. The vote for the sissy fur 1820 was 6,586,695/. ; fur 1821, 6,176,700/. being• diminution of 409,995/. TheOrd nattier in 1820 amounted to 1,199,650/. and in the pre. sent year to 1 .19.5,100Lbeiug4.5501.1e5s than the last. The charge for miscellaneous services for 1820, was 2,444.100/., and for 1821, 1,900,0001, being iris than the former year by the suet of 544,1001. The amount of interest on outstanding Exchequer bills to he provided for to 1820 was 1,000,000/. end for the present year the sane auto would be required. The mooted of the Sinking Fund on those bills 111 the former year was 410,000/. 6 while io the current year it was only 290,0001., tieing a difference of 120,0001. ; so th it if the atnothit or the expenditure for the correct year went to the full extent of the estimates which had beets proposed, there would nevertheless be found a reduction in the public ex penditure of the country of 1,771,8881. He would now proceed to state the Wititsand illeans by which he proposed to meet the'Supply. In the first place, the House waa 4 ilrearly aware that the charge for the amount of the annual tales was 1,000,000/. more in the present year than in the last ; being 3,000,0001. for 1820, and 4,000,000/. tor 1821 ; but in the next article of Excise duties, in tea, &c. he proposed for the pre seta year a credit of only 1,500,0001. instead of 2.500,0001. granted in the former year ; and there fore the amount under those two heads collectively would be still 5,500,000/. The produce of the lottery in the last year was stated at 240,000/. but in the preseut year lie proposed to raise by that method only 200.0001. The proceeds of the sales of old stores, of course, would not be found so pro ductive is in former yeasts. but he conceived he was still entitled to a credit of 163,4001. under that head. Of the pecuniary indemnity payable by the French Govertnneot, in consequence of the Treaty entered into on the occupation of France by the allied ariniee, after deducting the donatiou to the armies engaged in the glorious work of the deliverance of Europe from the thraldom of the usuriiiitg Govern ment of that country, and also the amount of the claims of British subjects who had suffered by spo liation in consequence of the acts of that Govern mew, there would remain applicable to the ser vices of the present year about 500,0001. and per haps on the final winding up of the account some small belence to be hereafter disposed of. The re payment of money advanced by Exchequer bills for carrying on public works, as a means of furnishing einpluyineut to the labouring poor under the Act of 1819, in the last year amounted to 198,0001., and lie calculated upon receiving 111 the current year front the same source 125,000/. It consequence of the advances under that Act several important public works had been carried oil to completion, which must !vise languished, and the merits of employ meta had been supplied fur many thousands of ant herr., who must have suffered the utmost distrets without that provision. On this head, therefor. the House had reason to congratulate itself, that without entailing any additional burden, without any additional charge to the country, it had so largely contributed to the completion of many most ioeful public works. The Ways and Meat,s of the last year yielded a surplus upplicable to the services of the present, amouuting to 81,630/. The total amount of the estimated produce of the seve ral heads of income which he had cow euutnerated was 6,570,0301. In addition to those he proposed to borrow from the Sinking Food to the amount of 13,000,000/. viz. 12,51.'0.0001. from that of Great Britain, and 500,000/. from that of Irelaild ; and thereto would be added the sum of 500,000/. Irish currency, to be advanced by the Beak of Ire land, on the increase of its capital, bei n g in British currency 461.5391. The total of the Ways and Means, therefore, fur the current year, brill the suns lie hail before stated, of 6,570,030/. and 13,461,539/. from the Sinking Fund Loan and the Bank of Ireland, would amount to 20,031,5691. leaving an excess of about 13,000/. over the services of the year; the amount of .upply voted bring 18,021,800/: interest on Exchequer Bills and Sinking Fund on the same. 1490,0001.; and Unfunded Debt to be reduced 706,4001.: total 20,018,2001. IVith respect to the services of the year, he had already stated how very large a reduc tion had been made during the last year, au although he was not prepared to hold up any. distinct expec tation of any particular reduction during the ensu ing years yet as it was already well known that his Majesty's Government was most anxious to ell'ect every practioable reduction, and devoted the utmost utteution to that end, he did hope that something could be effected. The Right Ho siouruble Gentleman then proceeded to make saute observations respecting the payment of the peusioliers of Greenwich flotpital, and the funds o f the Hospital, but iu so low a tune that we could collect but a few words of what lie said. We understood the purport to be. that the out-pensioners had hitherto been plod out .of certain funds which had nceuninloted dosing the war, Imam.; chiefly from prize-mousy belonging to the Hospital, but that those foods had, since Alm peace, proved inadequate to the demand upon them ; that there was, however, cap i tal in the Innate of the Directors of the Ilospital, accumulating front the produce of lands and other property belutiging to it, which was folly sufficient to meet the de mand for out.peusiours, and also Inr all the charges of the Hospital for five or six years to come, but that some doubt had wised afether those fuvnts could be applied to any other service than that ata which they were originally bestowed, namely, euatuteinince of the estahlislimeut in tin. hospital ; until that could be settled, the out-pen.iouria must become an immediate charge to the public. These was another circumstance to which he could al- Jude in a inure general manner, and that was the claim of the East India Company upon Govern ment. The Company had applied fur the settle meta of that claim, ii•id there was no intitspointion on the part of the Goverument to conic to a brie adjustment of it. A strict investigation would, however, be required, and he was spot prepared to say at what time, or under what circistn stances, if ever. it might be just or necessary to apply to Parliament on the subject. 11 it should be found necessary in the course of the pre sent Season) to apply to Parliament on account of either of Onset service,, he certainly should not le quire the authority of the House to any further • grant of Ways and s Nleatia.—[A Member inquired toe amount of the ast India Contpant 'a claims :] —the uuminal amount of their ditties was 2,000,000/., but there were confiscting cbuiva On
