Hamilton ; and the further hearing of this Appeal fixed for Mon day next. Mr. tinbliouse brought up the following en grossed Bills from the House of Commons, which were severally read a first time : The Sierra Leone HI, Brandy Duty Bill, Irish Excise Duty Bill, a Bill for granting Additional Bounties on Double Rtfined Sugar, and another for vesting certain Commissioners with limited powers, for improving, repairing, and cleansing the Sewers of the City and Liberties of Westminster. Lord GRENVILLE said, that through an eager desire to afford, on all occasions, reasonable time for considering any great and important mea sure, as well as throut,•h a motive of personal con venience to a certain Noble Lord (Lord Eldon) not then present, he was induced to int:ye, ' , That the Order of the Day for Tel 14ig a second time, on Monday next, the Bill for assimilating the Ex isting Laws of Scotland to those of England, be discharged, and a new Order made for Friday next." His reason for preferring that day was, that it might, in that case, be submitted to a Com mittee on the Monday following The Older was then discharged, and the second Leading of the Bill fixed for Friday next. Adjourned until Monday. HOUSE. OF LOMMONS. Lord Kensington brought up the Accounts which were yesterday moved for, relative to Drake and Weatherhead's time of Service in the Navy, and the Amoont of the Penslos ranted to the said Wil liam Drake. Colonel Fane. and several other Members, ob tained leave of absence for limited periods, and upon various accounts. Mr. WELLESLEY POLE wished to be inform ed by an Hon. Member, whom he saw in his place (General Porter), whether it was his intention to bring forward the motion, of which he had given notice some time ago, for the expulsion of another Hon. Member ? (Colonel Cawthorne). General PORTER, in reply, said, that the delay hitherto had been swing to his having waited for the result of the Committee of lnq sit y, appointed to search for precedents upon this stihjetl. That Committee had very lately completed their Re. port ; he begged, therefore, now to give notice, that he in'ended to bring forward his motion at an early period after the Easter Holidays. The Report of the Irish Tobacco Importation Re. peal Duty Bill was brought up.—The Resolution was read and agreed to. Mr. ADAM observed, that the order for ballot ing for the Taunton Eleition Committee stood for Tuesday nest, but that it would be very incon venient for the Counsel, Agents, and Witnesses, then to attend. on account of the approaching Western Circuit ; he therefore moved, '4 That the ballot for the Taunton Committee, which stood for Tuesday neat, be discharged ;" with an intention, he said, of afterwards moving, that it be postponed to the 12th of Ap►il nest. Mr. BARING objeaed to the Motion. The Pf • titioner had already had cull and proper time to *- pare, nor would the assizes at Tauntou take place ull the 2 , :itts of this month. 'this brought on ■ farther discussion, in which Mr. Adam, Lord H. Petty, Mr. Hammet, Sir James Pulteney, and Mr. Hnbhouse, took part. The question for discharging the or der for rues day next was then put and negativeJ . Mr. HORNER moved tor leave to bring in a Bill for the Reba( of the Parochial Schoal-masters of Sccrland. The names of the defaulters at the call of the Howe yesterday were then read over, when they wete generally ordered to attend on Tuesday nett. After some remarks by Mr. PERCEVA.L.respea ing the causes of non attendance, which induced him to wish that the House would come to some genvr.tl understanding as to reasonable k rounds of ercuie, The SPEAKER explained, that there was a standing order of the Huuse, that defaulters should be taken into custody, although of late that order had not been enforced, till within the last ten days. Atter some farther remarks by Lord HENRY PELT?, Sir JOHN ANsTitu I'HE R, and an ex planation by Mr. PERCEVAL, the order of the day w.t read for the House to be called over on Tuesday next, and that all Members not attending, should be taken into the custody of the Serjeaot at Arms. It vac, npin motion, ordered, that the accounts which Ltd been presented relative to the Itedunion of the National Dobt of Ireland, should be printed tut the toe of the Members. Tie Reports of the Loan Bill, and the Sugar Dra wback Duty Bill, were biought up and received. The Bills w. re lead a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday next. The Report of the Committee on the Expiring Laws, was brought up, and Bills ordered to be brought in, pursuant to the Resolutions of Committee. scrirCit CLERGY. Mr. K ENDRIC 1; moved for various accounts to be laid befoic the House on this subjell; viz.* Copy of the At of the General Arsombly of Scotland, in 1750, respelling tl.e!state of all the Livings in Scotland; also us account of the number of in creased stipends, under an , rder of the Cour t of Session in Scotland, since 1707; also an account of the number of Livings, the stipends of which pad been augmented more th a n mice since 170;, and the amount of such augmentations; also wherein such augmentations consisted since 1748 ; also an account of the number cf prorsi•ses now depending for the augmenting of such Livings, and the num ber of appeals, in consequence thereof, to the House of Lends. These motions were severally put and agreed to. After some conversation ht:tween the Lord Ad• vocate, Mr. William Duni! .1. Mr. Perceval, Mr. Adam, and Sir John Anssrutlier, Mr. KENDRICK also moved for an accourt of the pa rishes in Scotland, in which Isinds were czhauited. Sir SOHN ANSTitil TIER Nit he ham of no &Ice in Scotland whence such a mints coed le med., and that ii was impossible such oil accohnt could ever be made accurately. The LORD ADVOCA I E and Mr. ADAM spoke to the same effei t. mutin.i, upon leave given, was withdrawn. The Royal Naval Asylum Bill was committed. and the Report ordered to be received on Mond.%) next. SLAVE TRADE AB01.1110e: BILL. The House then resolved its.nf into a Committer. on the Bill for abolishing the African Slave Trade ; Mr. Hoauouse in the Chair: Upon the clause, limiting the duration of this traffic to May. ISM, Sir CHARLES POLE expressed his apprehen sion of the ruinous consequences of this mea-ure to the Navy, and the Country at large. Ile did nor, however, cape& that any thing he could say couIJ alter the sense which the House had expressed on the subjet% but what he now meant to propose, was a prolongation of the time when this trade should cease ; for, in the present state of the Negro popu lation in the Islands, he said, it w.ss impossible that such population could be kept up with out fresh importations. This country depended upon its cnmmerce and colonies, but these could not exist, unless there could be found a sufliztency of labourers on the estates and plantations. In pre posing the prolongation of this aleaaure, what he had in view was, the importation of females into the Colonies during the intermediate space, and this might be done by imposing a tax on the introdultion of male negroes. This Bill would, in his opilion, when passed into a law, deliver our Colonies into the hands of our enemies ; nor was it in the power of the entire Navy of England to prevent the clan- destine importation of Negroes from the French Islands. Also, in cases of hurricane, which fre quently happened in the West Indies, how, he would ask, were the estates to be replenished, with out fresh supplies of Negroes ? He concluded, by moving, •- That the year 1812 be r.uhstituted for tSO7." On the question, put by the SPEAKER, That the words proposed to be left out stauki part of this BM?" Lord MAIION was decidedly in favour of the most limited period. There was no argument for the prolongation of the Trade for five years, which did not go the length of continuing the Trade en tirely; and after going over the arguments which have been so frequently repeated in favour of the Abolition of the Trade, his Lordship declared, that he would rather rejeft the Bill entirely, than admit the clause proposed, for the country did not now expeit from that House such a compromise with their conscience.. Sir PHILIP FRANCIS also objeteted to the mo. Sion of the Hon. Baronet. He said, it had been sufficiently proved, that the African Slave Trade, so far from being an advantage to the British navy, was the cause of many of our seamen perishing. He had, thetefote, no fear that our relinquishing the Trade would swell the navy of Fiaoce.— Upon the mere principle of placing navy against navy, he should not hesitate, if possible, to employ the whole navy of France in this Trade, and to ex empt ours ; for the consequence would be the ruin of the French navy, and the preservation of ours entire. With regard to the calamitous stare of St. Domingo, that in all likelihood proceeded from the unrestrained power left to individuals to increase, by fresh importations, the disproportion between the Blacks and the Whites; and unless a check were put to this evil in our islands (particularly in Jamaica), similar consequence, were to be dreaded. He denied the charge of there being any precipita - tion in this measure ; for, during 25 years that he had been in Parliament, it had been almost in a constant state of agitation. The Hoe. Baronet de sired farther time might be allowed, with a view of lessening the disproportion between the males and females ; but what steps, he would ask, had the colonists hitherto taken to that effett ? Upon the whole, he was decidedly against the Amendment. General VYSE spoke strenuously in favour cf the measure. lie could not give a silent vote upon the subjeft, as he knew that those who opposed it were " shutting the gates of mercy on mankind." He could venture to declare, that he would rather have been the original proposer of the measure now under consideration, than be in possession of every worldly good that fortune could bestow. Although the rewards of the 6r•t proposes- were not those of this world, he hotted that he might long continue to promote the welfare and interests et his country, and, by doing so, still promote his own earthly hap piness. This great measure had been discussed and explained so ably by the Noble Lord who opened it to the Houe, with a display of such extensive know ledge, such energy and feeling, and with powers of reasoning so persuasive, that Vale remained for him to add in its favour, and much less against it. The objea in view could alone be effefted by an imme diate and total abolition, and not by a protraCied one. if we consulted sound policy, humanity, profit, and expediency. The Hun. General here enlarged upon the opinion of two enlightened statesmen, now no more, and entered into a comparison of the ad vantages and disadvantages of the abolition. Sir THOMAS TURTON also spoke in favour of the immedlare Abolition, instead of protralling it to a dilrait period, as the Hon. Admiral had pro posed. Ile trusted, that whencser the oppressed knocked at the door of that House, they would find them ever ready to afford redress. We need not be afraid of throwing the trade into the hand. of our enemy, when they have not a ship to send out. This. of all others, was the prop-r dole for the Abolition. With respell to the paint of compensation. he professed himself to be one of those who thought, that it a case could he made out to show that the warning which has been given was not sufficient, and that all human prudence and endeavours, to avert the conse quences of the abolition, bad been exerted, a liberal And handsome allowance might then be claimed. But he warned the Notice, not to allow any consi derations of compensation to interfere with thecause cf the offerers by thi. inhuman traffic, o f to get the better of their. feelings cf justice. it would b e int pobsible to admit of the delay of five years, as pro- posed. Mr. HILEY ADDINGTON argued in favour Of the AssientiMent, and said. the if liw not b e ,,, proposed. he would have melted it himself, He had many ohjedioas to ergo against the ilium:. diate Abotitien ; hut be should postpone doing 8 , till the third reading. He approved of euntilleior the former Bill, and of a suggestion that had a te , formerly made as to imposing certain *Send due t% upon newle-imported Shives. The Bill inn -since,' by Lord Melville, in 1;91. went to fie a period be. yond which the Slave Trade should oot etist ; but that not having been adopted, he denied that any gradual Abolition had been effeesid by any m e , sure since introduced. He himself had formerly proposed an Ad. by which the proportion of tone s . 4, employed in the Trade of Slaves should he ghat. ally :educed, but he had not brought it fie wste,, as lie dtd not feel himself to be of sufficient trei k in the House to insure its success. He still, honese, approved of that plan, and thougt that ethers be propose., to answer all the purposes of sn dime Abolition. In the year 1782, a notice eiven for the purpose of proposing a Cuirtr, being appointed to investigate the Sate of Snee ie the West Indies, but the unto; tunate iecurie. e . of wit prevented that plan from be ne put - atria He should, however, upon the same princiele,r e pose the appointment of a Parliamentary sion Irons the House, to be sent out to isms:43:e the State of Slavery in every individual Island; to g they should be direded to make their Roper. to ea,. Hie he, and to su ); gest such regulations as they mieha thick proper, to ameliorate the situation of the Slurs in each of those islands. What might be proper is one island, might he very improper in :frostier. When such a Report was re!eived, he should sy. ges: it; being referred to a seled Committee, aid, under the direltion of the Legislature itself, Cord,, regulations might be adopted and recoritniecdeato the Legislature of each of the islands. Mr. WHITBREAD said, be could net crocrive how those who were advocates for a gran it ku tition, in place of an immediate anti tr tal could be dupes to sucharguments. llecouldteilthen t , teat such plans would be totally hied - equal. ace could they think of proposing such a procrastme ting and impotent measure, as the sending out Co,a missioners to the West Indies ? Atter traveili through ail the islands, and making themselso acquainted with the various existing regulaties in each, after digesting what improverueats could be made, they would return (if any of them were lett to do so), to communints their information to another Committee of the House, who never having seen what the foam lad seen, were es decide upon the propriety or Mayne piety of their' Report. To what good aid "wild this procras:ination lead? Yet this was not ail; the House of Commons, as well as the Upper House, waist,: ag nu have to discuss the measere„ and come t.i certain Resoiutions to be trans mitted to the Governors of the islands; and if the Legislature ot these Islands would not obey, what then was to he done? Why, jest to corm to the very pint they were now discuss ing. Were duties to be laid upon the trade, it would only encourage smuggling ; so that then would ant be a single slava lees imported. Mr. Plumer, the Counsel, who was heard at the Bard the House of Lords, had told them, that it was now in contemplation, by all the ['hinters, to put new lands into a state ot cultivation it so, so much the greater reason for the immediate abolition, by some strong had elfeltual measure. The gallant Admi ral Chicks Pole) alluded to the great devas tations of nature, produced by hurricanes in the West Irelies, as being a cause for the continuance of (tesli importations, to supply stlie tones thereby occasioned ! 1 t• Do we (said Mr. Whitbread) believe is the existence of a God ? do we believe that any thing can male one confider a slid den devastation, as an immediate •.sitation for some immediate crime, to bring man to his recol lection ? if so, what does the Hon. Admiral pro pose? He does not suggest any repentance for the crimes that men hare been guilty of ; but, on the contrary, advises to send out to Africa, fur the pur pose of committing fresh murders and robberies. in order to replace those poor creatures who have been swept away lay the hurricanes with which the Almighty has been pleased to visit the hVest Indies." He could not avoid expressing his abhorrence of such doctrine. There could be no (teen, that those who were inimical to the measure of Aboliticii, would rather prefer the procrastination of two years than one year, three years rather than two, and five years rather than four ; but those who are in any degree advocates for the Abolition of this abominable and inhuman traffic, must undoubtedly see, that reason and policy prescribe the necessu4 of an immediate measure. Mr. IMSE expressed his sentiments in favour of the gradual abolition, and cited, with his usual abi lities and extent of memory, several authoritiee. to show how much it was prefer-Able to an immediate one. Lnrd HENRY PETTY, with great eloquen:e and ability. combated the arguments of the Rig' lion. Gentleman who had la►t spoken. and repn - • baled, iathe strongest terms. Us.: Amendment which had been proposed by the Hon. Baronet, as beinif the most fatal, and the most dangerous. becau e the least dire& mode of abolishing this detestable, this infamous, and inhum in trade. 'llw Nolot Lord entered into a calculation, sliewiag the r'- g iess of Slave Population, in each of the and compared it with with the progress of papa' tion inAmerica ; and illustrated ard deprecated, MilTi great feeling, the inhuman treatment of the unf.)- tuna:. female Slaves, under their tyrannical and li centious masters. Gene:al GASCOYNE acknowledged the r,- priety of Aboharing the Trade, were there sufi dent time given to those whose interests were most materially concerned, to provide against the con+s•• quences. He then went to consider a t lirje principle of the B:11, as well as the impropriety the allegation in the. preamble ; and concluded with declaring, it wal his decided opinion, should th: Bill for immediate Aholition now pass, it would d:• feat i:s own purpo►es, and never be carried into •f -feR. Mr. CANNING, with great ability and spirit, re futed the arguments of the H,n. Baronet, win' proposed the Amendment.
