The clauses to which these provision. referred were then sever ally put and agre,d to. 011 the CU.- lltMAN's putting the motion on the preamble of the Bill, _ _ Lord HAW KESI3URY declared his disincli nstion to enter into any discussion of the merits of the me tsure, after the opinion which a great main. rity of their Lordships had, on the last night. pro wlers-seed. But, with the conviClion he entertained of the impropriety tit introducing ab,tran p: iuci ples into the preamble of the Bill, ise conceived it his duty to suh:nit to the Committee an amend ment, which should exclude the terms " justice and Isumanitv," and confine the necessity of abolish ing the Slave Traffic, solely to the ineapedi••ncy of its continuance. lie could not see what objettions the warmest advocates for the abolition could have to the amendment. The preamble, as it then stood, nariecessarity mooted a point, on which a welt difference of opinion existed, and which, if suffered to be m.t.le a part of the law of the land, and of the colonies, may be produllive of miss. chilvous and fatal consequences ; of those cause qaeisc •s, which the Noble Baron, who introduced Oa Bill, so strongly deprecated; he meant any ill-Lroundt•d conclusions which the Negroes in the West Indies may infer, relative to ills it emancipation, Ai connaled with the mea sure of Abolition. Indeed it was a conclu sion natural for men in their circumstances to make, when they found the law of the laud declor ing that system trajast and inhuman, by the operation of which they were detained is a state of :to tier y. Sonic all.•••eanee should also be made for the feelings id coaraffers of those who had em harl.trd tin ir ;:i.:srser•y in the African Trade; and as the end was o!). • .seJ, it was exceeding even the practice nt hvutc p sides, to continue and promul tstte an imputatini., which nothing but the inability of sticcerrltag its the riled could justify. It may be obi• :1-1, that Cie resolution ofthe two Houses of Pa: -t ha:f already expressed the same ts,rinion ; but he he ;:ged leave to state a marked clif f, :case in the two c uses. The Resolutions of the House v. ere n t r:tligatory, they were limited to the Member,; but t Aa became obligatory upon the eirule :moire, open those Colonial Assemblies, whose op ai ...s and feelings were known to be d &rent. He thetelere trusted, as the No ble I.— La.! carried the as 4 , 11 ft. fur the stc com;•l'sisoleitt of which they appeared so anxious,. that the) sa -ail • join in .n amendment, in no man ner hostile to she principle. but which, in its opera tion, may have the esieCt of promoting its success, by ti-_ recnrciliation of the different interested parties. Tile Nn.•le Lord then moved," That the terms • inetersiste.st with the principles of justice and humanity,' be lyft out of the preamble of the BID." The Earl of CARNARVON assured their Lord ships, that, with tf e feelingswhiehalluated hSm, and the vi-ses he entettained on f.ae nature of that un just and execrable traffic, lie could by no means acquiesce in the Amendment of the Noble Lord. To palliate guilt and compromise injustice he never would consent, ncr ll.ould he think of shrinking from the exposure 0 1 a system, as illegal is it was iniquitous. The laws of the cou.stry equally ex tended to every part of the British empire, as well on the high seas as to the colonies; and if the necessity of cultivating the waste lands of the We.t India islands was a sufficient plea ft.r the , violation of justice, upon equal principles of prop! iety. the peasantry of this kingdom may be dragged from their homes, to till and labour in the enclosure of wastelands. ( ery of " Oder " from orpofi:e siJrf. Nol.le Lords may accuse him of nut h-ing in order, hut he felt he was acing perfesily orderly, and, thercl:re, should continue to exercise Isis own julgemcnt, in exposing a system of oppres pi m and rap.nc, a hich,if suffered to continue, would be uitimataly extended even to this country.

The LORD CIIANCELLOR contende3, that the a ir-rt.tmeat •d the Noble Lord, if acquiesced in, wrath; opp• rate to the prejudice of that general principle, whi,:h Noble Lords had asserted was ne cessary to insure the efficiency of the measure. The determination of all the States of Europe to abolish this infamous trade was considered as the great TaCtical mea-are in this work of humanity. In what way was this concurrence to be obtained, but on the liberal and enlarged grounds of justice and humanity. 'Die very intimation of confining the tall Ili our own views of convenience and expediency, would naturally produce the jealousy of other poweri. IJr;der that view, he was of opinion that the preamble should continue in its original state. Earl SVAITON and Lord REDESDALE re probated the intioduaii n of &bursa principles, in tic place of the old, wary. legislative language of Parliament. Such was the practice of modern France, and one 01 the leading causes in producing that dreadful r.•volutiunary convulsion. Earl S i'ANHOPE wished to impress on the Committee the impropriety of changing the lan guage of the preamble. It might happen, that in it treaty with a Foreign Power, the question of this execrable trade was disciissed and decided, ►olely on the admission of its injustice and inhumanity ; and. therefore, .upon those strong grounds should :he measure of their Lordships r.t. But, It is said. that the feelings of those who have becn concerned in this infern a l and murderous traffic should be consulted, and less violent mean, adopted, to recon cile the Abolition to the Coliiiiial Assemblies.— Shotila the Assemblies in the rept-Rive islands not feel incliucd to assist in the sccorqi:el..ment of this il 7 - -----Prinnr-i k ... - slrF — V - ' -- " --- w"7" ' title • • sismistua.havw tsh Argislatine the muss of compelling :,If their hearts are callous to 'the aim 4 homanity , end to the claims of jestice s is it not Is the power of PArliAm-nt, by teeing their mats, to appeal to their profit% to .heir cub —an appeal with them mcre pow..rlul . thien all the per suasions of a Cicero, or the vigour of %Demosthenes TheEail ot LAUDE RD A LE thoulht it inconsist en; with the honour and dignity of tie House, and with the li beta! feelii.gs of the cou.ory, to surrender, or rather not to declare the gtots ids non which this great measure of hum mit! was decided.

But in what light would the country thus rutting ap. pear to the other powers of Europe? Certainly not in a light corresponding either with its general Gila racer, or with the proud feelings of liberality wlnch animated it on this great aFt of necessary justice. He would state to the Committee one circutnstance which occurred during his residence at Paris, when a conversation took place on the proposed Abolition of the Slave Trade. The people of this Country, said the Minister of France, are not so warm in their wishes for the Abolition as the people of Great Britain. The eveuts of St. Domingo have in a great degree produced this popular apathy; therefore, what would be the opinion of that power, if, upon any future occasion, the expedien:y of this measure should be thrown in our face ; and particularly »hen it was recollelled, that at the per ik.clof the Abolition, the English Colonies were well stocked with labour ers, whilst in those of France there was a cimsider able decrease He should d,ciderlly oppose the amendment cf . the Nnble Lord. Lord HOLLAND could not arcouni fort the grounded apprehensions of some Noble Lords, neither could he so Acribe to the phicy of conc. al ing the proud, generous, and benevolent feelings on which the House and the country were in. dured on th:s .-asion, to aet. The country had given an enviable example of disinterestedness to the other powers of the world, and if the real inducement; were suppressed, the benefit of the example woill probably be lost. With respell to the supposition, that the Slaves in the colonies would torn out discontented, and that the language of the preamhle encouraged that discontent, he should answer such unreal :sad idle apprehension?, by referring to matters of fad and experience. In Virginia, where the importation of Slaves was d scon:inued, and where a similar prin ple was made the ._;•nund for the discontinuance of the traffic, yet none of those evils have occurred. Is it not sign a well known faft, that the Proclama tions and Documents of the BI elks, in St. Domingo, are regularly published in the Colonial Casettes, and has any sense of degradation aroused the Slaves to any sR. of discontent or disaffection ? Toe Doke of CLARENCE—" My Lords, I have listened, with considerable attention, to the various observations of the Noble Lord.; who have preceded roe; and I erinfess I see the advantage of that bold, strong, and pointed manner, which the forms of the House permit, when any measure is submitted to the consideration of a Committee. On what has fallen from the Noble Earl opposite (Lauderdale) I will not now comment; but I do assure that Iskrisle Lord, and the Committee, that the observations of the French Minister, as corn. munieated to him, are safely treasured in my mind. The time will come, when I will have the opportunity of some useful conclusions from that conversation. Although I have uniformly been the supporter of the Slave Trade, and though I have never on any occasion hesitated to submit to this House, and the public at large, my opinion of the expediency of this traffic, yet, if this Bill shall be saw:Honed, (which I sincerely hope it will not), by the vote of this and the lower House, and thus, by receiving the Royal Assent, pass into a Law, I, as a subjeß of this realm, shall, notwithstanding private dif ference of opinion, ever be amenable to that Law ; and if at any time placed, in my official capacity, to superintend and enforce the execution of it, shall, to the utmost of my power and abilities, endeavour to give it full effaft." The H. use having divided on the Amendment, there appeared as follow,:—Fur the Amendnient 10—agu'nst it 57. The original Motion was then put, and carried without a division. The Duke of CLARENCE then stated to the House, that having given notice, on a former night. that he would, on Wednesday nest. move an in quiry concerning the importation of Chinese natives iiito eie island of Trinidad ; he thcught it neces sary to state to the House. that having received the most satisfattnry ;nformation respelling their situa tion and treatment, from some very intelligent Planters in that Island, he would not trouble the House with any motion on that subjeti. Lord GRENVILLE said, that in consequence of the reception of the Report being fiaerl for Mon day, he would postpone his motion for assimilating the Scotch Law to that of England, until Tbatidey next.—Adj3urned until Monday.

Secretary of the Treasury, a parson who h as no property in the county. applied distinaly to the Barrack Master General, is favour one of these Candidates with his particular support ; a n d that, accordingly, the influence of all the Gentles men in the Barrack Departnient was procured, for the purpose of controuling the exercise of the Else. tive Franchise. These allegations they were pr e . pared to prove a: the Bar of the House. in order that measures might he taken to prevent the recurrence of stich unconstitutional praaices ; calculated to bring into discredit the Government of the couutrY. and to shake our honour, liberties, and in.:epend. :me:, as a nation. That _they had been encol.r ege d to bring this matter before the House, owing to the Journals thereof declaring, that it is trilawfue for any Minister, or any cae conneded with the (.4. yea ntneilt of the country. to use any such undue ir.. thence; as the rifest of it must he aiming against the honour, the independence, and dearest rights of every individual of the emi ire. This Petition, of which the abOve is the purr**, was read aloud by the Clerk of the House. The following. amongst mahy other names, were sub scribed to it : Henry St. John Mildmay, It. St. John, Joh. Gant, Gaoega Ward, ciLitl , :a.l.trikin Km, Faa;larli..., J. Poliau.l, Jo. • Poll:ink Joe. Stt..rges Bourne, lc. Mr:A.3IIIISN SMl'le 7 l moved. "That this Pe tition do lie upon the Tahl:. in order that he tu:Lia makes Motion upon ir, on this day se'neight." Earl TEMPLE—" Mr. Speaker. I certainly rise to give my fullest consent to this Petition beinx laid upon our Table; but I only beg have to recal to the recollellion of the House. that. according to the regulations, Petitions for such, or similar pur poses with this, ought to be ()emoted to Patlianieut at an earlier period. This •Petition touches ma terially upon a question of privilege, and it remains to be determined, by those who support it, how such a question of privilege should have been delayed so long." Mr. CANNING said. that the delay had been occatdoned merely because it was relative to a breach of privilege, in order that it might be dis cussed in a full House. Mr. TIERNEY observed, that if it were really meant as a party question. then the giving notice of a motion upon it, •in the manner now done by the Hon. Member, who presented this Petition, ww merely in order to excite attention. He thought the Petitioners were consulting more their own interested views, than the 'edifying of any breach of privi lege. This in particular was the case with those of them who were already Members of the House; who, notwithstanding they sat opposite to the two Representatives. whose eleaion was complained cf. never condescended to state to the House what they knew of We circumstances mentioned in this Peti tion. Upon these grow. ds be thought. that, as far as it went to complain ut a bleach of privilege, it did not seem to have been a very alarming one, when they could consent to keep their complaints back for the space of no less than two months. Mr. PERCEVAL--.. Sir, I have no doubt that the Right Hon. Gentleman who spoke last, has some good motive, though not a party one, for stating his sentiments upon this occasion . (a tonol). When a matter of great public importance is Lrought forward, I do not think that it is very becoming that such oblations should be stated against it, when it is to be presumed that those who undertake to bring it under consideration. adopt that time which they deers most proper for doing so. 1 think that there could be no occasion for preferring the first day of the Session to the present. because on account of the number of other petitions, there might have been obletitions against its being consi dered. It must be rvcollthed, that as the tabled of this Petition is to be maintaioad by proof, it is comparatively an insigniScant question to be dis cussed, whether it should have been brought for ward in one day, or one week, in preference to nen' ther. Such objections are tray ridiculous and ab surd ; for if there be truth in what is Contended for in that Petition, they, on the other side. may *genius their faculty of wit or detraction ; bet What will it amount to I They cannot au; cly prevail upon the country to agree vr;th them. or to consider their coo dua to be proper uona such an occasion." Mr. C. W. W. WYNNE slid. that it was un just to state. that sues a question as this was likely to be treated lightly by this side of the Huse. It was acknowledged by all to be a question of the utmost importance, and deserving of consideration. The only thing that occurred, as being worthy GI • notice, was its being delayed to this late period, instead of being brought forward at the earliest morneir. The charges were undoubtedly import. alit, and deserving of the earliest eonsidaration, whether they be proved or d..proved. If dis proved, he trusted that such charges would fall back upon the heads of those who brought them forward. Mr. HIJIIST" I do not care what are the motives which *anate those who bri:qg forward this Petition.
