It ap pecei ta hina that he had mistaken the arguments of pee Coun ..e.l for arother, aod that his Lordship had so blended the t subjects, as not to have atom proper cnnclusions from them. This was aof of magnitude in a commercial peint ~e a ; for it was no small matter of capital srrich employed two millions, with 4,0,000 t o l ls M s t u pptiig, and Poet thousand seanneu ; but all ohs rod been trrated is if unworthy of notice. The Foote Lord had argued as if the At Aeon trade Was in:Oil:NU to the navy; but it was unfair to it kr the loss of seamen in the African trade, in as notch as mail of them were afterwards pressed in the West.

But can it he supoosei that the tionteis should be so adverse, not only to the dictates of humanity, but to their own interest ? for every female that has a therehy becomes more rid:Wile to the owner. He declared, that if he had not heard such language sooken in that House, and had it been reported to him nut of doors, he could not have cAnrei•ed it— ( l e a I • The Hon Member (perceiving that J.nr i Elowck had del' toe House) sold, he by no means wished to interrupt the Noble L. ird's retiring re hive his dinner, and upon his retool, if it was his wisn, he would repeat his declaration-4a laugh). 11tt. ii, atter all, the present Bill should pass, and if Any itisuireCtion should take place in the Islands, (as he trolly dreaded), he declared, that he should have a right to onclud, that it was lowouse tnis Aa bad pawed. c more e s pecially as the N ble Lord had ackaoesleeted. th it for tweet/ yeas past no such iesurratinn had occur. ed. In his opinion, hada French General iii.isiei in any of the Islands, with an address to the thtzos, te excite them to iii- Iterreaion, no such attempt would have proved more stermssfel than the preamhle to the present Bill. The Noble tool thnught, that some sort r: machinery might he suost tuted is part of chi ...- hour of the slaves ; but was it rot most extras.: fury that the Planters themselves, who were so materially intereated. should not have conceived such a thing pratticable ? The Noble Lord said, with oae breath, that this was the proper time, and yet, with another, he faitly aelcuove ledged that no hopes could be indelged of the concerrence of France. But. for his own part, be could not but consider it as a most improper time lot bringing Pima: .1 such a proposition, for without obtaining the eo-operationief other States, the promoters ot this measure would defeat their own obje& and, surely, if the Slave Trade be al lowed to exist at all, according to the late regula tions. it aepears to be carried rn with more lenity lor this than by any other Govertopent. It sitifi ciently %Reared, that Bonaparte would never be come a pato to tech a Bill as the present; his ob• ject seloot applied to was obviously to evade, and now OiAi the fanatic ideas of lead aml policy were hr. , I,e`lth,!, would Le hi ' to take it up ? With reoat d tit the Portuguese. he understood that they had actually written to Liverpool to engage Captains sod ships for this Trade, merely in con segitence of the reiolutinns of the last Pasliament. But. supposing the Trade to he abolished..it would Om this: be impossible for all the frigates of the Britt* Navy (without the concerrence and comps. ration of the Colonists themselves) to prevent the iinportrion of slaves; it was the interest both of the Feeders and Colonists to have Slaves Moo demi ; as to America, their p: extended meted,' extended to the intreduElion of Slaves into America, but if permitted to evade at all, they would immedi ately adapt their Tea te to the introduction of Slaves into our colonies. Ihe Noble Col loud oei st h s ad w a ive sus- no • onote of Me loss which the s e Abolition of this Trade, which amounted • ,toy of Morey mi'lions steriii , g, and the s ~.to the West I n dies to betwees foot and Mr e Millions--. 1 momentous part of the subjed, hut which the Noble Lord bad kept totally out of view I With regard to the emancipation of die Slaves, he had sinly to say, that the opinion of those who had the brat local information on the subjel, was, that such a 1111•:asUre 0/0111d produce the oowilfal of the empire. With tegard to the gradual abolition of the trade, he should not have objected to it under ptoper lestrirain is aad regulations; but should the present Bill pass into a law, hi-. beiief was, that be fore twelve months were at an end, conspiracies and insurteftions would take place ; and with regard to tmaucipation, that might take place in a way that was little wahed for. Under existing regolatir ns, the Slave Trade would have expired au& siientio. The Hon. General concluded by intreating a factors de liberation of the subj.td, and that evidence might be bead. Mr. KOSCOE declared, that he should disnp point the wishes and ex pettations of a yes y respect able body of his constituents ( Liverpool), if he did not vote for the Abolition tt; this Trade. After the deliberate discussions which the subjeft had trio dergone, and the able manner in which the Noble Lord had argued the subjea, it was needless for him to attempt to argue the principle of the Bill. He had ouly to se:, suit the African Trade counterad ed the.priuciples of human nature, and that, there -lore, by the Aboliton of it, eventual good would be. effeEted. and the Condition of the :.lives in t..e West Indies would be amelioratol ; it would then become the interest of the Planter ta introdoce re ulatiotis calculated to promote the increasii.g po pulation of the Islam's ; he was, therefore, s tn guinr to hope, that 1., i t: from the Bill's being the ruin of the colonies, it would lay the found ation for the happiness of thousands.

Mr. LUSIIINGTON declared he never had fra:ned his mind to balance the exports and imports wan the first principles of justice and humanity. should the 'Fradehe abolished, he apprehended mime loss would be sustained, particularly to the Planters of Trinidad, but lair claims to compensation, he trusted, would in such cases be regarded. Every article that the Noble Lord (Hawick) had stated, had been already before the House. He did not consider the African Trade to afford arty nursery Dx stamen. Ile for oils herielie's service ; it. was rattier a grave for se imen. Such were Is: evils inherent in the Trade itself ; no Ad of Pat bament, nor tegulatiutis, could correa the evil. Ile there. fore heartily concurred in the Motion for the Ah s- Edon. Mr. FAWKES rose, and spoke to the following eifea—" Mr. Speaker. the Abolition of the Slave Trade has been, for the last twenty years, so re peatedly submitted to the consideration of this House, and to the discussion of the great and pre eminent talents which have charaterseed and adorned the parliamentary history of this country, for that period; that, in addressing the House on this night, I feel my insufficiency to add any ar. guenent, either more new, or more cogent, than those which hive on so many former occa sions been introduced.- But, Sit, I rise es. perform a solemn but voluntary pledge made to my Consti tuents, that I would mark, with my express re probarirm, a traffic, doe most unjust and eiterrable ; a trade, which has, during the whole course of my existence. excited the strongest abhorrence in my mind, and to resist the continuance of which is chit night a proud and satisladlory feeling, enhanced by the grateful recolleCtion, Ilia I have been eaahied to join with my lionou: aide and respelted Colleague (Mr. Wilberftmcc). in the accomplishment of that °Nett, which was the steady, unerring. and virtuous aim, of his priv.te exertions and his public duties. — The Noble Lord who, with his wonted eloquence, and unanswerable reasoning, moved this subjeCl, has, I trust ' fully convinced this lioioe, that the measure which he supports and recommends, is founded on the true prim-iples oft sound and liberal policy. It is unneers; try for me to follow that Noble Lord tlirco!g'i the clear and precise state centswhich he male, or to advert to calculations and inferences, which were so those ably and fairly deduced. There are still powerful rea sons which' imperiously stray me to support the Abolition of this Trade in Slaves, and which justify every opposition to the continuance of a system bottomed on injustice and inhumanity. Amongst those which I shall take the liberty of stating to the House, the claims of plundered. persecuted Africa. shall not be forgotten. Nor shall I satisly myself with viewing the gue.tion as to the mete circum stance of dragging these enhapppy beings from home and country, and from telatives and friends, for transportation in a foreign land ; hut shall extend my inquiry to the means and expedients by which they are obtained. The condition of savage life, we should think, Sir, sufficiently , withounci t employing human in g enuity to aggrte its i dental calamities. We should suppose that man, insulated man, should a t least endeavour to mind increasing the miseries of the untutored, and not pervert the soperielity of reason. by augmenting evils, which it is his duty to diminish. It has been said, that though you abolish this mea sure, the wars in Africa will still conficue to be waged. It is nohappily the lot of civilized, as well as uncivilized life, that human comentircis will pie trail, and that the conflicting passions of nations, as ot individuals, will be exaspeiated into muinal ran cour and reciprocal hostility.
