There the slava worked because they would be flogged if they did not do so. This was owing to the want of education and the inculcation of proper Frineiples upon their minds, whereas in England the site transmitted habits of industry to hi, son, who Was actuated and led to good conduct by other motives than the base one of fear. Before he sat down there was one topic to which he felt it his duty to advert. It was the frequent discussion of this question, both in anti out of Parliament. 'I here was nothing more calculated to defeat the beneficial objects which they all in common had in view, for the benefit of the stave population, titan this re. peated and unnemhary discussion. It excited a feeling of alarm in the mind of the MS.Mer—it crested an extravagance of fear amongst them. and also had the effect of exciting a spirit of insoliontinstimi amongst the slave population. It should be endeavoured as much m possible to avoid toe excitement of a spirit of discontent amongst those whom they might be desirous to prepare fur freedom. The only ef fi cient mode of doing so would he to create and encourage in their minds a cheerful disposition to habits of industry. and to as similate them es much as possible to the customs of civilized no tions. This would be the aim and effort of those who feh really anxious foe the aniellorztion of the condition of the slave popula tion, and not an anxiety to point out the hardships they under. went. which could only, at present, have the tendency of embroll• ing them and their masters. He had thus stated his views to the (louse; he was a friend to the emancipation of the slaves; but at the same time he was of opinion that that emancipation should be gradual and pulverise: (Hear, hear, hear.)

In sofleitieg this infeessetion, he dial not mean to express any opinion upon the inmates themselves, and indeed the only feeling he entertained upon them was that of regret that they had not been before intnidnesd. As to what persouslly related to himself, and to the sentiments which on a former night he had ex pressed, the Noble Ear! had been pleased to say that they pos sessed some vivacity. The allusion of the Noble Earl to them he (Lord Holland) should say, possessed some dexterity. As to any opinions which he may have previously expressed, they were liable to correction ; and he (herd Holland) did not pledge himself to be hound to them, if upon a statement of facts he saw sufficient reasons to alter them. in bis procelding the ante course was pursued in minute td Irish lay officers.

TIIR WEST INI/lA. QUESTION. Earl RA TII I ' RST, in rising to call their Lordships' attention to the important question-of which he hall given notice, observed. that the papers referred to net the first day of the Session r ; teed to the measures adopted by his Majesty's Ministers, in consequence of the resolutions of the !louse of l'iminiona, passed in the last Ses. sion. which he Ishmael, with their lowdshipe permission, read:— " lit. It is expedient to adopt effectual and decisive measures for ameliorating the condition of the slave population of his Ma. jestv's dominions. " 2411 y. That Parliament should adopt such temperate and per severing hut Linn measures as might enable this country to loot forward to the progressive improvement of the slave population, so as to them fur the reception of the civil rights enjoyed by hits Majestl's subjects. " 3dly. 'That Parliament is anxious to adopt the earliest oppor. tunity of effecting these immures. pstible with the well-being of the slaves, with the security of the colonies, and the interests of Muse whose property is concerned." It was his duty now to state the measures adopted by his Ma jesty's tiovernment, in consequence of these Resolutions: two circulars were ouldressed to theo Hermon. of Colonic'', the one tinder date of the 28th May, and the other of the 9th July. The first recommendation these circular. contained was for the due observance of the Sabbath ; the second wan for the abolition of the whip as a stimulus to labour ; the third fur the abolition of punish. TOM on female haves by flogging ; the fourth related to domehic punishment, that owners and overseers inflicted ; the fifth for encouraging marriage animist negroca ; the sixth for the regulation aside ; the seventh was fur the property of slaves to be respected ; the eight related to the manumission of slaves ; and the ninth wimi that the evidence of slaves might be admitted, under certain re. strictions. I f arty of their Lonlships should think, that in ream. trending these objects to the Colonies, his Majesty's 31 inisten had gone too far in opening the door towards abolition, and that, how ever right in theory, the course pursued was not right in practice; he hod the teitisfaction to say, that eight out of the nine propositions met the entire C.I.CIWYTMP and approbation of the great body of West-ludia Planters. It'ith regard to the last prow:titian. they were not prepared with any plan regarding it ; hut the West. India planters thought that it was right for it to he looked into. If, on the other hand, Noble Lords should think that his Ma jesty's Al inisten had not gone far emnigli, he haul only to observe, that there WAS no object unnoticed in those propositions that bed been proposed by these who were favourable to g radual abolition. As these proposals bore on colonial interests, he bal only to observe, that they hai been under the consideration of the Legialative Assemblies of the i:olonies t the greater part of which were still sittwg and considering the last measure of the 9th July; bost iss dtsoid be thweiving their Loodaishio. and anion nnwerthily, if be were to say the majority of them &mem in those propositions. H. had, however, the satisfaction to acquaint their lordships that some of eke Islands were fully aware of the benefits that would arise from them ; and amongst that number were li remota, St. Christopher, and liarloadoes. The Coinniea that were moat opposed to the recommendations contained in the circulars transmittal on the 28th M, and 9th July, were Bt. Vincent's, 'Tobago, and Dominica. With regard to Jamaica. he hod heard that several leading Members of the Assembly of that Island meant to recommend the adoption of the proposed measure. These Assemblies, their Lordships would do him the honour to recollect , had not been hurried into the consideration of the contents of these circulars. They hail in no case been deceived, but had been, as regarded them, dealt openly and they by. The Legislature of itiorhadoes met in July. and had adopted several of the rectionninulations. The Assembly seperated after this par tial adoption of them. and they did so because they thought, that if they adomtnl all, it would appear as if they had agreed to heti". gutsh slavery. 'l'he greases* difficulty his Majesty's Ministers had to contend with was, that the idea had got abroad in the Colonies, which had emanated from this country, that if all the recommends. thins were adopted, the Colonial Legisletures were pledged to the extinction of slavery. Ile hoped, however, a milder view would he taken of this stihmet, and that at 110 distant period those .Issem. blies would see that the assertions of interested persons here were unfoundol. lie would now advert to the conduct of St. Vincent's awl Jamaica. The tanner haul declared that they would not do any thing more on the sohject ; they had passed a Bill two years ago, and they timught the propositions contained in the circular were the name as those adopted by the Rill. Hut if their Lord ships would take the trouble to look at the several proptwitions of the Rill, they would perceive that they did not apply to the ques. time 1 and those that did, am lief imperfectly wit. What the Assembly of St. Vincent's had done had been to its credit ; the nitionire had not been done from compulsion, and it 'thread a favourable disposition on their part intake a more temperate view of this interestingsubiect, which aumired well for the future course that might be adopted respecting it. i in this part of the case hr had only to state what hail passed in Jamaica, which was a matter of nmoplete notoriety. lie regretted extremely that Jamaica, on this ocenai ~,, , had given an example far different to that which was to be desired, and widely at wahine': with the feelings that they had formerly evinced ter improving the condition of the slaves. lie should not do justice to the legislative assemblies of the colonies, if he did r it desire their Lordships to take into consideration their pe culiar situation, which Might 10 go in extenuation of their conduct. Ile had been told that the amelioration of slavery had made no progress in .%111Criert ; that the smaniripal lave in that country were not altered; that the punishment of a master killing a slave was only fine and imprisonment t that in New Orleans the slaves on no cones ' were allowed a holiday,and if they were found danc ing after sun-rut. they were punished by being whipped. A co lourist titan inviting a Jive to a (nth was liable to punishment. and the *Live was flogged. If a slave looked disnapectfully at a white man, he underwent the same punishment. He begged of their Lontships to look, in comparison with these laws, at Tobago and St. Vincent. The fact was the laws in the colonies were good, but they were not executed; sill he could, upon the information of re. spectahle individuals, assure their lordships that a greet improve ment had taken place in the nmeliiion of the slaves, with regard to their food and clothing. The women were in a progressive state of amendment, end their children were very dilTerently situated to what they formerly were. Their hospitals were more cleanly, and better managed, and, generally speaking, an amtlioration of their condition was apparent. This condition, which naturally grow out of they ionpmved state, caused them to bear with greater disgust any instance of barbarity than to they u were accustomed to do. The colonists said that the Iltitish Parliamer.t hail no right to legislate for them ; but there might he extnine eases, where it might be called upon to legialoite ; but if that were even not the case, he did not mesa to say that this coontry had no authority in other wars. The drawbacks on exports to the islands might be refused; and their onetime might be re ' ceived under any rate of duty that this Hoverninc: t might choose to adopt. Having stated what haul been done by the Legislative Assentblitst, he would now state what had brett done by his Majesty in CounsiL Instructions hail been sent to the i colonies having no Legislative Assemblies, on the ground that it might show a difference, if that course were not adopted be tween those Islands. where the King was the lawgiver, sad those rime Legislative Assemblies were established. Their Lordships would 'laterally go along with hint in thinking, that it was units imp/want fur those coloni,.s where the King was the lawgiver , to be placed on the %ante footing, with reference to the regulations, as those possessing Legislative Assemblies. It was at the time that these instructions were sent out to the Islands he hail alluded to, that the insurrection at Demerara broke out. At Trinidad the recommendation was not well rectivnl ; hos ever, after several CollinltllitClol ,, ll%, an order in Council was drawn up, and approved of by Ins 3lajney on 'Wednesday last; and which would be blond amongst the papers on their Lordship's table. lie would now state to their lordships the manner proposed to at tain the objects generally which the (Inter in l'ouneil provided; and the first object met the order was to carry into operation the several recommendations it contained. For that purpose, est office of guardian Of tomtector of Slaves would be established, and com niantiants would be appointed ender hint, who were to execute his orders. Ilia first duty would he to see that a due observance 01 . the itiVrath was maintained, and all compulsory labour Arm], which , he on that day was strictly to prahildt. Sunday mulct» were also to be stopped after ten o'clock in the morbing ; and after • pro- I vision fur education was ado pt ed. they were to be stopped al- , together. The whip was to be abolished as a means of punish ment to stimulate to labour; although, as an emblem of au. thority, it was not offensive to . the Negroes. But the misfire. tune wooden; on the use of themhip was, that it was not in. trusted to an overseer—it was not hltrasted to a white person—it was not intrusted to a free colonel person—but it was intrusted to a person, himself a slave. 'flaw hip would oow be in the hands of a white person; and it was placed in his hands under the sane. tion of the law, that the slave tidiest be protected against the anise quences of any violation of it. With respect to female punishment, he should observe, that It was one of the first Nino, considered by the Court of Policy at Demerara l but still care should be taken that the faults of ferric slaves tboald INN be dealt too leniently with ; duet they should be entirely heal from the opetation of the whip, he thought could not be doubted ; but imprisonment and the stocks were authorised, and the governor might make use of any punishment that did not interfere with the regulation that referred to their corporeal punishment. 110 punishment was to take place upon male slaves in a less time disco 24 hours after the offence had been committed, and at noose thise were more than 2 5 lashes SO he indicted. There was to be no Arita punishment of the offender m long as any laceratiusis appointed; sod none was to take place except in the pressers of one white person, who would be himself authorised to inflict It. The aumber . of lashes and the offence were to be recorded within 24 hoarsens! the whip had been applied, and ationwl collies were to be a inn ap the sorwmandant of the district, which attested espies mai to bd forwaided every quarter to the ' guardian. On she of howtriage he would state to their Lonlships, that Wan ir:i tsLTlm . i . sto that meal, they ' were to *poly le 4 tdid q legimesist, apprOdid ef it, Meg:WWI was asfWAkrgripat • heallifier Ind any Clergyman ef Church of Zeeland, or the Kirk of Scot land, or any Rattan Catholic Misdate:. es any teacher of reli gion, was bound to solemnise the marriage, which was to be re corded and seat to the guardian. If the master refused his consent to the marriage, the slave was still to make his application to the guardian or es nmandant, who would so on the master before hint, and cause him to assign a reason fur the refusal of his con. sent. If he could not give a good reason for that refusal, the guardian or commandant might Isaac the licence, and the marriage might be solemnised. The next object, and which naturally followed in order, was to prevent the violent separation of the offspring of slaves room their parents: it was proposed that children, under seven years of ag..., should not be sold apart fowls their parses". The point he should now advert to was the securing of the property of slaves. As the power of bequest had been given to them, it was thought necessary to give them the benefit of that power under the sanction of law, that they in*ht be enabled to prosecute their rights in a Court of Justice. The negro.' might also make use of what property they enjoyed in savings' banks (the establishment of which was proposed), and they would there re ceive interest at 1 per cent. for all money they could spare ; and to give greater facility to the negro in the disposition of his property after decease, the manner in which he wished to bequeath it was to be duly recorded. Attention had been paid to a point of con. siderahle importance in the consideration of this question—he meant the affording facility to the manumission of slaves. With re ference to this point he would state, that the only money to be paid for it was for the registering of the manuntiaston, and that was not to be paid by the slave, but by the parish. The right was given to the negro of purchasing his own freedom, and it there was any difficulty about the price to be paid for it, the master was to appoint an appraiser, the slave an appraiser, and the guardian was to nominate an umpire. 'l'he interests of those mainly concerned by these propositions were completely and amis. flews-By admitted. He would now advert to the admission of evidence of slaves in courts of justice. The mode to be adopted for the admission of this evidence was, that a clergyman or mini. ster was to give a certificate that the individual had been so in. strutted es thoroughly to know the nature of an oath, and such certificate was to be recorded in a book kept by the guardian for the purpose. It was proposed to admit them as evidence In all civil casts, excepting where their masters' direct interests were concerned ; and one strung reason for that restriction was, that if they were admitted against their masters, their testimony must be admitted in his favour, and that would be exposing the negroes both to danger and temptation—that their Lordships must see die impolicy of. la criminal cases they would be admitted as evidence, in all cases excepting in those where the life of a white person was at stake. By these regulations he was rather curtailing than ex tending the privilege of the negroes. By the Spanish laws their evidence was received in all cases. The object of the present regulation was to give a fonn and substance to the privilege of the negroes, and to thew what was or was not the description of evidence to be admitted. lie would ask their Lordships If those who had looked with the most jealous anxiety fee the smolutions of the House of Commons being pet in operation ',halm the pledge that had been given had not beat foldlled ? Hi woad now draw their I,ordships' attention to a most important point esenseted with 'this subject—he meant -the sakigiens illeenteliell erfilee wegeses. Thisbeekidestiral establish. meat SO the islands was lam.stably deficits'. %V ith shame it must be neknovskdged, 'that when theecclesiastical establishments were formed, not only the slaves were not considered, but he believed not the free coloured inhabitants. A variety ot' societies had of late years been formed for the religious instruction of the slave po. pulsation of the islands. Three societies had tendered most essential service in introducing religious instruction—he alluded to the !Wesleyan, West Indian, and Moravian Societies. Ile conceived that the ecclesiastical establishment required to be extended, and if there was to be an ecclesiastical establishment on a firm foundation, it was quite necessary that there should be episcopal contras I over it ; acd no operation under that con trot could be effectual, but by the appointment of • re. silent Clergy, and he had looked anxiously for that for a long time back. It had been thought by many that the Bishop of London had a power to enforce residence in the Islands; but he could assure their Lordships that the exercise of such authority was not allowed to that excellent Prelate, although no exertions had been wanting on his part to ascertain the fact, whether such authority did attach to his high office: and no exertions had been wanting on the part of that respected Bishop to forward the views of those who wished fur a resident ('lergy. It was proposed to no minate two Bishops, one of whom was to reside in the Windward and the other in the Leeward Islands. Under the Bishop ap pointed to the IVineiward Islands one Archdeacon would be placed at Grenada. Under the other Bishop there would hue two Arch deacons. These Bishops were to be accompanied by a sufficient number of int e rior Clergy, to niece all the immediate wants of the Islands. They would, in the first instance, make inquiry respect ing the actual state of the EeclesiasticalLstablishment, and to take a review of the living. in the gift of the I ioremors of the Islands. and particularly to inquire into the peculiar state of the slave popula tion. The appointment of masters to schools would come imme diately within the duty of the Clergy ii and the masters would act immediately under them, as the elegy, front their education, could not be expected to do that service. The overseen would look with less jealousy to this course of instruction, when they found that it was carried on by persons of their own persuasion. A community of worship would be likely to produce a community of comfort, by uniting the toaster and sleecs in the strong and sacred tics of religion, and in the great truth. of revelation. It only remained for him to notice the pro bable result likely to arise from the measure adopted by his 51a jzotty's Government. Ile had already stated that one great dill'. culty to bringing about the regulations proposed, was the general expectation that these measures would be followed by another, which would have for its object the general abolition of slavery. A strong impression had gone forth amongst the slave population, that his Majesty had sent out orders fur the abolition of slavery ; and in consequence of that very erroneous inoweiesion getting abroad amongst the negrom, and his Majesty's Government per ceiving the imperious necessity of inimeeliately correcting it, be cause they felt that at all tittle' it was of the utmost consequent such expectations should not be entertained, and more particularly in the present st- , te of the Islands, they advised his .Ilajesty to issue a proclamation, addressed to the slave population of the Ishinds, which, as it was short, he would read to their Lordships. It stated "—That whereas it had been represented to his Majesty that the slaves in the West India Islands had been erro neously led to believe that order, had been sent out from Ilia ' Majnety for their emancipation, and that acts of disorder had arisen in consequence. his Alsiesty, by and with the advice of his Privy Council, had issued this Pmelamation, thereby making it known to the slave population of the %rest India Islands, that he should consider them as undeserving of his protection. if they did not implicitly obey the I lovemors of the Islands and their masters." His Lordship continued, that he helmet the recital of this document would sufficiently convince those who had in ,-eats at stake, that life Aliioity's Government entertained no wild and chimerical views with regard to emancipation: and to those who were the • most sanguine in their views respecting :he amelioration of the slave., lie thought duet his Majesty's Government could with equal confidence look when they could refer thorn to such document, as had been laid on .heir Lordship.' table, Rllll to such facts as he had • the honour of offering to their Lordships` notice. (The Noble • Earl then made some observations. which, as tar as we • could understand, relates! to the provisions of an Act . passed tour rears ago, respecting the registry Of slaves.) 1s to l'eylon, site case wets widely diderent front that of our colonies, for sugar was not there cultivated as in the islatats for which they • were now carpel upon to legislate ; atiel it was for the cultivation of . sugar that slays' were found particularly and indeed indispensably • requisite. With reference to Guadeloupe, which at the time of the • Fren•Lth revolution was made free, Bonaparte subsequently had determined to restore the confiscated property of that island. flow ever, as had been properly stated in • book published by Mr. Stephens, it was found impossible to restore the confiscated property , without restoring also the slaves who cultivated it. New lock and , Connecticut hail been referred to, but in these and other American i states there was no proportion between the slave and free popula., t lion. They were not more than in the proportion of one to thirty. • Of the elects of the sudden emancipation of slaves, the House ; IMAM farm an idea from the circumstance of a gaol or receptifEle t being formed at New York and l'hiladelph‘a for ernannpated slaves. They were funnel to be a burden to the public, and no • greater evil s he conceived. could he indicted on society than that of 1 giving sudden emancipation to slaves.

He was nut aware that it was Intended to Wier any opposi tion to the motion he was about to make ; hie observations would, therefore, be within a very small compass. lie meant to propose that a Committee should be appointed to inquire concerning the best way of improving and amending the criminal code. The House must be aware that the number of statutes which had been penal front time to time, were in a state of the greatest confu sion. lie would not name the many inainveniencies which had arisen in consequence of this--he would assume that the House was convinced of their existence. It was necessary for him to show how far he meant to go, and on what principle!: his first propo sition would be, that the Committee should inquire into the state of the criminal code, and unite all the statutes on the same subject into one heal :--as, all laws relative to larceny, forgery , . &.e. He did not intend, at present, to propose any alteration in the existing laws, either as to punishment or offence: when the statutes were brought before the House in the shape of a Bill, the House would be better able to judge of :he defects in the t!riminal Law, which were numerous, apparent, and in many instances dis graceful to the Statute Book. He would nut, at any time, an alteration in a law, unless it was clear to every indivilt= the House that It was requisite. lie did not wish to trespass on the time of the House, and would therefore conclude by moving that a Committee be appointed for consolidating and amending the Criminal Law. . . . Mr. J. SMITH, in seconding the motion, observed that such a proceeding would give the greatest satisfaction to the nation at large. The motion ass carried, and a Committee appointed. Mr. CAI...CRAFT said he would take the liberty of asking the Right lion. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he intended to admit French leather into this country, on paying a duty of per cent ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the lion. I ientleman must be aware that many articles of French ma nufactured leather were now admitted on paying a duty of 75 per erne.; and that it was his intention to extend this permission further. _ . .On the motion of Mr. S. WORTLEY, the House went into a Committee on 'he lame Laws. . ..... . The Report was brought up, and ordered to be taken into coned daratiun on Monday next. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the House resolve itself into a Committee on the subject tif Silk, and in order to rectify en error which had been committed. The House accordingly resolved itself into a Committee. The ( 7 -HA:NCI:IAA/It of the EXCHEQUER observed, that it had been proposed .0 allow on all Otganzina silk a drawback. which would be equal to the duties ; because it Wrildi be a hard thing if people who had a quantity of this silk were not enabled to sell it ; and it would be equally wrong to 'How the silk-throwsters this drawback on what hail been before brought under this head. His proposal now was, to give each party that which he was en titled to. The Report pas ordered to be received to-morrow. The CHA EbIA)It of the EXCH EQI 'ER moved that the Order of the 1/ay fur the House to go into a Committee on the Silk Bill be read, for the purpose of postponing its further consideration to Thursday next.--Agreed to. Thll/ Annual Duties' llill was then read a third time and passed. I'he CH.INCELIAM of the EXCHEQC'ER gave notice that on Thursday next he should move for the House to go into a Committee on the Irish Union Duties' Bill, when it was his inten tion to propose the remission of these duties. The ATP/RM.:I . -GENERAL moved that the Bill for re. muneration to the Law Officers who hail been deprived of their fees in consequence of recent Acts of Parliament, should be laid befire a Coniniiuee of the house on Thursday nest . 31r. 11 1' 311.; thought that the best way would be to refer it to a Committee above stairs. lie wished the Learned liendeman so state his reasons why he made his present !notion.

Theo, Sir, ached to coccikate opposite calculations, to meet .:cad soften eetravaipmciee l then, we had to grapple with theory against experiment, and to struggle with middy diffused prejudices. That, however, which was dons last year has narrowed the groand of controversy mew) and I arr. to hope that the collective sense of Parliament. and the general feeling of this House, In whist was then acceded td, has not been wrong. If then we thotigilt of the dreadful and alma* Incurable nature of the evil we had to combat—if 0113 We had expressed a determination to do no, with a doe regard to the care of lees—to the various sanctions of the lugialatteraseto the Interests of property, and all the ramifications growing out of property ; if we had determined to enter upon the subject, with a proper regard to al! that interests, it will be obvious that we so far made a cleat stage, on Which principle might act, and that stage and this principle are still undamped, in the view of his 31ajeuv's Ministers. I hope Ido not mhtrepre sent the sense of the !bine of Commons when I Ire, we ;defied ourselves to no sodden measures) I hope I do not misrepresent el.e House of Commons when I say, that we halted rather. the pa dual extinction of slavery as important to the slave, than to a pi i clamation, Inviting the slave to scramble for a prize of where vales he knows nothing.

I think Ido not misrepresent the sense of the linage and the conntry, when I say, there was rot the slightest hostility against these persona whose lot east then: in theme regions,which.se obedient to the crowo.of England, should els) have the core of Parliament. While however we were guiding the progress of an ameliorating system, it should be out duty to take care not to carry the pie/ugh-Aare over the soil, the property of those persons who bad a right to our protection. (Cries of Hear.) autos are the views of his Maiesty'a Minims% amilJory Oen principles , we are drama to be judged.

Ms if I know myself, I can say that I have viewed this subject with the utmost impartiality. If I have any partiality at all upon the subject, it is use arising from the habits of my former life—tt is one connected with my thhibing aid my feelings from the first moment I had the honour of a sea: in this House, when I endeavoured to procure for the negroes that boon which now Ido not less zealously seek for them I do CA mean to say that I would begtrilty of any breech of faith if I fully brought the slave question forward ; or that ocher, who did or dial not do so, after mature reflection, were not justified in not mixing up with the general question of the abolition of slavery, the im provements which are now to be superinduced upon that abolition. I may, however, say that the whole question of the abolition wee constantly argued, to the exclusion of those measures which.. are now considering. With all the feelings ofone'a heart still fresh and warm in this cause, it is not to be thought a matter of sur pri se it we carry them still as freshly and as warmiy along with us, w h en the wider held of good and of humanity a that selected for the Christian display (hear.) I feel on this head some little alarm ; but let me not be misuntlenitund when I say '` I only say there can be an alarm if we act imprudently, but God forbid I should say that any raceafyiersons were destined to incurable slavery. If / be asked, am I the advocate for perpetual slavery ? I answer. Gerd forbid ! (Hear, bear.) If Ibe asked, an I for Instant rata/hips. tion ? I answer, that, weighing in the sole the difficulties of the question—the danger of its suddenness, and the ruin accompanying it ;—if I am to hold the scale between the two—between inetar.r emancipation and continued slavery, I know not if I would at rather say, let things remains they are, rather than Incur cit.e dreadful responsibility of acting with elicit dangerous precipitation. Between those two points. however, there le left to us a deb ueabie ground, cm which to exercise our policy. I look not an much to the emancipation of :he slaves as to the gradual amelioration of sla very ;—not so much to tit • stave being set free as to the station of slavery altogether eepiring. In every State, engaged to a greaur or a less degree in their question. from the lowest to the blithest state of Eiropean civilization, all look to the amelioration of the Negroes' audition ass work of caution, with the aided a counsel ling and en-operating legeelaterre, and not by courting diekultiri— as a work which must win its way into the favour if ism, and be uhimately carried by the light of season rather than enforced by a system of coercion ((Ties of " hear.'") The peepers Lail on the table consist of reports front several of the Wee India Islands ; of the scheme which this Government has been carrying. into execution in one of them, and also of the mode of operation there pursued. Some of these islands have independent legiellatlear. and some are under the immediate control of the Crown ' the first division I shall pauover to treat of it by-and.byr ; and I shall now proceed, in the first instance, to an explanation of what the Govern. silent has done by rirtne of its own authority. fienffeauen are aware, as I have just stated, that the West India Colonies are di. vided into two sorts ; the smaller under the immediate government of the Crown, without any legislative assemblies ; and the other. with legislative assemblies framed in minatare, afar that of the Mother Country; and, like her representatives, they are not a little jealous of any interference with their privileges. In the course of the last year the West India body in this country earnestly recommended to Government to Institute, in one o: the colonies more immediately under the content of the clown, such experiment • as were calculatei to ameliorate the condition of the regmee, wish the hope that a similar course would be adopted by other of tl.c colonies. Trinidad, St. Lucie. Demerara, and Bechirewere those more immediately under our influence ; and the slave parts of thee, colonies were better fitted for trying such an experiment than any of the others. Trinidad, the former Spanish cology. was the nus•t faveseerahle; Selacie, the French, was the next ; and Demerara, o,s -t/utile, the third in point of ti ness for this projected alteration. Our object, however, is not, nor has it been,so mesh eu investigate the en. isting system, as to Mend all, and :o try the experiment in 'Trini dad as au example. It is not a little gratifying to me individually. to think, that. shoot twenty years ago, when peace was I called upon the lloit,e to keep that island as a phee of rape rineent for the amelinnition of the negroes' eoneitior. 1 then rev: tainly made the motion with a view to the abolition of the slate • trade ; but that motion coming from so humble an ind;vithial es myself, mecumd no practical purpose beyond that of calling the a - tention of the House to the advantage of keeping Trotioad ape... and to obtain for it, not what a tee respectable 3lember of this House (the late Mr. Marque) called the rights of Britons. bet what i say is perhaps mow valuable (for they cculd not enjoy slue, rights), the favour of the British Parliament cormithirg for the:, prolianent inteest and advantage, unfettered by the Lakin nee ot legislative araentblies. I hare now to state, that an Order . i i Council has been made, directing the local Government of Triesti ai to carry te a l orders fro ameliorating the negmea into .1, sea efts er a and we sanguinely anticipate that this will lead eis far nci the riglv road for that desirable consummation. I shall mate the dual, a. et the arrangements a briefly as passible. and I shall reouteet the II as I along, to compare what I stat: with that wllich was 61 a !ii
