The day before yesterday I quitted Napoli, after having signed / e vent despatches for you, of which I'— will be the bearer. I have received your despatches of the id (14th) Feb. last, Mm which I perceive that you hare contracted in London a second for the Government, and I transmit, at present, those de. m .ethes to Napoli di Romania. Our fleet has sailed nut, and I hope it will be able is meet .)st of the enemy, which left Morton immediately after having ; clod troops there, perhaps on account of its having heard that rrn was un the way to attack it. The Egypiian troops, difiem ytted at hfodon, amounted, as detailed in the despatches which p---- takes, to about ten thousand men ; and I hare the satis. *lion to announce to you, that, according to intelligence which I e irc this moment received from the Head-quarters, the enemy has oferienced what might hare been expected from so rash an envie. —se, for, in a sanguinary engagement near Navarin, on the 13th instant, our troops, under the command of Generals Cars. i ,„4„ ff.

I shall re main here two or three days, to send forward different corps of pops; and afterwards I ' , hall proceed, in the first place, to Modun 10 inspect the divisions which are there; and thence I shall go, wave] Arcadia, to Patras, to join the troops which blockade that beress; and from that place 1 hope I shall be able to give you •Ser pleasing news." DINNER IN THE CITY OF LONDON TO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTOIN. Yesterday a grand entertainment was given to his Grace the puke of M'ellington, by a number of Noblemen and Gentlemen agoateted with the commerce of the metropolis, at the City of Landon Tavern, on the occasion of presenting to him a magnificent u a testimony of gratitude for the advantages experienced Ism the victory of Waterloo, and the other triumphs of the Army alder the command of his Grace, on the Continent. The LORD Illawou took the Chair. The Duke of Wellington le on the right, and the Marquis of Anglesey on the left, of Isis Lordship. Amongst the company were, Lord Darnley, Lord Tor. r agton, Sir Ulysses Burgh, Sir Caine Trotter, General Burr, Colonel Blackburn, and several dietinguislicd military o ffi cers. ter. T. Wilson. Mr. J. L. Goldsmith, 31r. Hammersley, 31r: Van Schorel, Mr. .1. Capel, several of the Aldermen and other Mein ben of the Corporation. The coo a wan decorated with the as tonal standards, and the table was most splendidly laid out. After the cloth was removed, the Wellington A ase was brought into the room and placed ita the centre of the cross table. This vase is one of the most chaste and splendid workman it is of considerable dimensions, and in shape resembles the celebrated Warwick Vase. The design is by Stothard, and it has been executed under the direction of 3lr. John Green. The inscription is in the following words :- •"fo Arthur Duke of Wellington, '• The Noblemen and Gentlemen whose names are inscribed on the t i sse, present this vase, not in the presumptious hope of extending the glory of a name which is imperishable, but to testify theiradMi ration of the last and greatest of his achievenieuts -the battle of Waterloo." Alter the customary loyal toasts were drank and songs surg- The LORD Alavon rose, and said it now devolved upon him to papa.: a toast respecting the great sul jet of this Meeting. He had Mao deputed by a number of Nobleman and Gentleman, many of shorn were now present, as well u by a number of meritorious in. &idols's, who were not able to enjoy the high honour of his Grace's company, to present him with a tribute of their gratitude and al. minion. His Lordship then alluded to the services of his Grace in India,where„ by an important victory gained witlr a handful against a brly of troops, he had obtained the warm thanks of the inhabitants of Calcutta, and the high approbation of the Parliament of his own country on his return. It would be in vain to repeat the extraor dinary succession of brilliant achievements which were for ever united to the name of Wellington. It was impossible to speak of victories without naming that extraor linary catalogue which filled the history of the celebrated campaign. (Cheers.) His Lordship finally earned the battle of Waterloo, which fur ever put an end to toe desolating projects of Napoleon, and then presented the vase to kis Gram, mating to bin that it had been subscribed as a tribute of the gratitude of those around bin.. (Loud cheers.) The company then drank his Grace's health enthusiastically. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, he entertained the highest sense of the honour done him, and he returned his sincere thanks for the beautiful specimen of British art just porastsd as Mao, es a ' mirk of approbation of his services. To doubt midi* sisS alba% but he must say, that the battle of Waterloo deserved the com mendation bestowed span it, baring been productive of conse quences unheard of with respect to any event of modern Ulnas, or indeed to any event of any times. (Cheers.) It completed the at. litany glory of England, sabehsed a degrading military dimpodkna On the Comment, and secured an honourable and Deice, which, be trusted, would Last long, for the passapast o ad d elmy of t h e country. He disclaimed any exclusive merit an weenie anxiety and endeavour to do his duty. The merit Mu dna to the Noble Marquis (Anglesey), and the officers and privates under his command. (Loud cheers.) The Marquis of Anglesey's health, Lord Darnley's, the Lord Mayor's, and other health' were drank, and the company most iighly enjoyed the same. THE ARMY.

TM E AFRICAN The Anniversary Meeting of this excellent Institution way held yesterday at the Freemasona' Tavern. The weather wu , iery frtountble in the morning, but at the hour appointed for taking the chair the large room of the Freemasons' Tavern was filled. At one o'clock his Royal Highness the Duke of GioncrsvEn took the Chair. Amongst many distinguished persons present we noticed the Earl of Clarendon, Lord Nugent, Lord Euston, Mr. nyell Bux ton. M.P. _ - . Mr. ENPSON, Secretary of the Institution, then proceeded to read the Report of the Board of Directors, detailing the progress of the Society during the last year.. From this interestin g and well-writtrn document we ;elect the following extracts:— " The Report of the last year contained a detailed account of the legislative measures, more or less effectual. which Foreign (io vernments had respectively punned, for the abolition of the Slave Trade. Unfortunately but few steps have since been taken in ad vance, and as the greater part of the parliamentary papers con nected with this subject have not been yet printed, the Directors possess at present very little information on the communications which may have passed with resp,ct to It between our own Govern ment and that of other States.. " There has been hitherto no opportunity of advantageously re suming the confererees which were 'adjourned fron Verona to Lon don. The general law of nations, therefore, still remains in this respect in its former imperfect and degrading state: but some pro great' has been made in two instances by individual Treaties, acting upon municipal law, towards affixing on this traffic its proper name and character as a violation of the law of nature and nations, and of the rights of man: all dealing in slaves by British subjects, front the Ist of January of the present year, has been declared piracy by Act of Parliament. " The Swedish Government had previously published en °Tann nanee, putting her subjects engaged in it out of the protection of the law. '• A Treaty has accordingly been concluded between his Majesty and the King of Sweden, fur the more effectual suppression of the Slave Trade, by providing the necessary measures for carryingthe above declaration tnto execution. " A Treaty of a similar description, founded on the same reci procal recognition of the piratical nature of the trade, was nego ciated between this country and the United States. Some difficul. ties have arisen in respect of its ratification ; but every modification which could possibly be admitted, in order to meet the views of that Power, having been adopted, a.,Treaty has been arranged ac cording'y, and sent out to Alt)(tiC.3, against which it is trusted that no objection can be raised." • • • • " Some slaves, the property of an English subject resident in East Florida, where slavery is tolerated by law, escaped on board an English ship ; their late owner brought an action in this country against the Commanders, Sir Alexander Cochrane an] Sir George Cockburne, fur harbouring them after notice. The Court held that no such action could be itraintained. The broad intelligible prin ciples and emphatical language of Mr. Justice Best were worthy of the cause: "lite Legislature of this country has given judgment upon the question. They have abolished the trade in slaves—they have even boitcht up at a great price the right of other countries ) carry it on. We might perhaps have called upon them to abandon the traffic without remuneration. It might have been glorious thus en put down a usurpation spinet the rights of nature, but we had participated too largely in the iniquitous traffic to be just:hal in I throwing the first stone, and may he considered as having paid this sum as • simoffering fur our transgressions. There is no statute recognising slavery, which operates in the part of the British Em pire in which we are now called upon to administer justice. It is a relation which has always in Jiritish Courts been held inconsistent with the Constitution in the country. It is matter of pride to me, to recollect that whilst economists and politicians were recommend ing to the Legislature the protection of this traffic, and senators were framing statutes for its promotion, and declaring it a benefit to the country, the Judees of the land, above the age in which they lived, standing upon the high ground of natural right, and dis daining to bend to the lower doctrine of expediency, declared that 1 slavery was inconsistent with the genius of the English Constltu non, and that human beings could nut be the subject matter of property. If. indeed, there had been any express law command , ing us to recognise those rights, we might then have been called upon to consider the propriety of that which has been said by the great Commentator upon the laws of this country, ' that if any human law should allow or enjoin us to commit an offence against the Divine Law, we are bound to transgress that human law—for upon the law of nature and the law of revelation depend all human laws; that is to say, no human law should be suffered to contradict these.' Now, if it can be shown that slavery is against the law of nature and the law of God, it cannot be recognised in our Courts.' " • • • The following is a detail of the sufferings on board the Arius : " The Arise had 465 slaves on board, of whom thirty.four died after their capture, notwithstanding every attention. such was the filth and crowd, that not half could have reached the Brazils alive. Commodore fallen put the crew on shore in Princes Island; wretches, who as soon as they found that they must be boarded, had stove in her boilers, as a last malignant effort to add to the misery of those whom a few minutes would place beyond their power. Commodore 'Sullen found this vessel rte a most crowded and wretched condition, although she had on board 120 less than directed in their passport from Don Pedro. At the date of her cap ture she had scarcely 20 days' provisions for the slaves, and less water. How they intended to subsist them till their arrival at Bahia, says the Captain, is to me a problem, unless they could have cakulated On a great decrease from death. " The Bella Eliza cleared out far Molembo, but took in her cargo at a place known only . to slave-dealers by that fraudulent designs ' tion, but which is, in fact, the western bank of the river Lagoa. She also was twice boarded by the capturing ship, before, by re ceiving her victims, she had become liable to be detained. Accord ing to the tonnage as stated in her passport, she was privileged to take 368 slaves ; she had taken 301, being 13 more even than this allowance, of whom 22 died before they reached Sierra Leone. The passage lasted seven weeks after the mature, and the sufferings from want of water and provisions was so great, that in two days more all hands must have perished." • • • • The Earl of CLARENDON said that the Resolution which he was about to propose was, that this Report be received and referred to a Committee for publication. He moved this Resolution willingly, although there were some expressions in the Report which he might wish to have modified anti altered. He had now been en gaged five and thirty years in promoting the object of this In stitution. It was an object nearest his heart (applause); and although some success had crowned their exertions, they should not relax, but should persevere with unabated zeal, for their labour was as yet very incomplete. (Hear, hear.) He was not gifted with eloquence to expatiate on those topics adverted to in the Report ; but this was to him a matter of leas regret, as he was satisfied that these sentiments were already alive in their breasts. (Hear, hear.) He could not forbear from noticing the many high names, the absence of some of whom, and the total loss of the services of others, could not fail to excite a deep regret. What words could do justice to those, our earliest friends ? What words could do justice to the services of Mr. Harrison and his associates ? to Lord Grenville and his aasocistes p —to Mr. l'itt ?—and, though " last not least," to the eminent services of .Mr. Wilberforce (Much applause) whose absence on this day was a source of regret ? But the absence of these men, and the loss of their services, should only serve to animate our zeal, and make up sensible of the greater weight of rerponsibility that has devolved upon us. (Hear, hear.', They should not omit any opportunity of gathering true hinds to the Institution, by frequently calling the attention both of the young and the old to what the Slave Trade is. In its extent, it is true, it has diminished; but in its nature and character it was still the same. It was characterised by cruelty, irreligion, and every atrocity of the worst species . It was by the consideration of the circumstances that alwa)s attended it that we should keep alive our own' seal, which he hoped would sustain us until the two great objects of our Institution shall have been consummated, by wip ing of the reproach of slavery from the nations of the earth, and by wiping away the tears from the cheek of misery and despair. The Noble Lord concluded by moving that the Report be received, and referred to a Committee for publication. Mr. F. Btrxros said, that although there was a difference of opinion between his Noble Friend and himself, it was but a ',Wow of a distinction, as to tin axpreasion in the Report. For Itis own part, the term .` disgraceful" in the Report was not too strong, nor was there any terns that was not in his opinion too mild anti too moderate to designate the atrocious conduct of France. (Ap plause.) If there was any thing more than another on which he NM disposed to congratulate the Society, it was on the acquisition of the new Secretary, who was the author of that Report, and who, in the cogency of argument, in the clearness of detail, and the wise and enlarged views wh;•-h it contained, gave a proof that in him the Society would ti d an able coadjutor. (Applause.) There was no language, he % on .1 repeat, that could adequately designate this horrible traffic—no t.rm ot' any language that was nut tame and nerveless, and that did not fail in conveying the feelings of horror which they all entertained of slavery and the miseries that ac companied it. (Hear, hear.) We hate wrong —we bate oppres sion—we hate fraud and perjury ; these we hate severally, hut what terns shall we apply to a system which embraces and unites in itself the combination of all these calamities and crimes ? (hear) and all these were found united in slavery. (Applause.) So far. therefore, from condemning the Report for not having used aufs- ciently strong language, lie would rather regret that there was no language sufficiently strong to express their sentiments upon the subject. (Iliac, hear.) Ile (Mr. F. Buxton) was anxious to cull the attention of the Meeting to the conduct of France respecting the slave trade, and to the language of this country upon the conduct of that country, as communicated in a letter from our Ambassador at Paris, Sir Charles Stuart, to the Count de Villele, the Minister of the King of France:— " There seems, indeed, to be scarcely a spot on that coast, which does not spew traces of the Slave Trade, with all I!, attendant horrors ; for the arrival of a slave ship in any of the rivets on the Windward Coast being the signal for war between the natives, the hamlets of the weaker party are burnt, and the miserable survivors carried tad sold to the slave traders. " It is clearly ascertained, by inquiritsa made on th e spot , an d on the adjacent coast, by hie Mapaty's cruisers,. that the number of slave cargoes taken out of the River Bonny, in the peereding• year, amounted actually to cue hundred and n i nety ; and a similar re. turn from the Calabar, for the like period, snide & total, for that river alone, of one hundred and witty two. " I have received the express commands of the King my master, to address to the Government of his Meat Christian Majesty an urgent representation of these distressing facts, which, if they prove any thing, prove that wherever the French flag appears. pro ' tection sod impunity are granted to the slave trader ; and that the abuse of the laws enacted in France against this mat, notwith. itiendiog the allegations at the party disposed to efieseraips the mischief, afford pmetical exempla of the eoneetroencm which i • must result from this evil, by occasioning encroachmeers on the territories of friendly powers of Africa, and exciting bloody wars among the natives." lie (Mr. Buxton) would place before the consideraticn of the Meeting how humiliating it was to civilited nations that the coming of a white man should be but a signal for war amongst the natives, anti that the appearance of a Christian should only be marked " by the hamlet* of the weaker party being burnt, and the miserable survivors carried and sold to the slave traders." (Ap plause.) He would next call the attention of the Meeting to a setter of an agent to his American employer . • which, notwitiritand ing all the exertions that had been ma d e for the suppression of slavery, would show him how that system continued to operate. • " I wish to communicate whatever facto will help in the least to afford the Board a just view of our situation, and of the African character. The fol lowing incident recently occurred. I relate it, not for its singularity, for similar events take place, perhaps, every month in the year, lint it has fallen under my own observation, and I can vouch for its authenticity :—King Boatswain, our most power. tul supporter and steady friend among the natives (so he has uni formly shown himself), received a quantity of goods on trust for a French slaver, for which he stipulated to pay yetteg slaves. lie makes it a point of honour to be punctual to his engagements. The time was at hand when he expected the return of the slaver ; he had not the :dares. Looking around on the peaceable tribes about hint fin his victims, he sleeted out the Quesths, a mail agri. cultural and trading people, of most inoffensive character. His warriors were skilfully distributed to the different hamlets, and making a simultaneous assault on the sleeping occupants, in the dead of the night, accomplished, without difficulty or resistance, in one hour, the annihilation of the whole tribe. Every adult, man lad woman, was murdered—every but fired ; very young children generally shared the fa t e of t h e i r p aren t s . Th e boys and girls alone were preserved to pay the Frenchman !" Nnthirg could he more condemnable than this system, whereby those who were of an advanced period of life were put to death, and those who were not arrived at that age were reserved to pay the Frenchman ! Let them consider the scene which takes place among the natives when the Saaoisli or French colours are seen floating Oil the shore--a native power, animated by the desire of ruin, of pow der, or of muskets, rushes down to the coast ; fire and desolation mark their progress; they destroy all that come in their way : and on one occasion, it was on record, that in a single week eight villages were burnt, and the wretched victims of their ferocity sold as slaves to some European villain, Commander. See all the atrocities which were usually perpetrated—whole communities swept from off the earth, or sold as slaves. He wanted words to express the indignation he felt at the sufferings of these wretched creatures ; and still less could he restrain his feelings, when he remembered that these cruelties were executed by European wretches, who de.. served the deep execration of every friend to humanity. The in fernal traffic was promoted by European villains--by Kings and Princes—Most Catholic Monarchs and immaculate Ministers—by the prol:s of the Gospels. (Great applause.) At l'aria and Ma drid were to be found the real authors of that abominable crime. (Applause.) To show the truth of his latter assertion, he would read to them an extract of a letter of the British Ambassador : it was ne fellows It is clearly ascertained, by inquiries made on the spot, an on the adjacent coast, by his Majesty's cruisers, that the number of slave cargoes token out of the River Bonny, in the preceding year, amounted Remelty to one hundred and ninety • and a similar re turn from the Calabar, for the like period, made a total, tor that river alone, of one hundred and sixty-two." So that from two inconsiderable streams hardly visible on the map, no less then 352 cargoes were embarked ; if on board each ship there were 900, the whole number of those unfortunate beings led off to slavery in one year, was 105.500. (Vhat mind could grasp or embrace such a fact as that ? He wanted the power of compre hension to conceive all the murders, the countless miseries, the atrocities anti devastation, which must have been committed in the enslaving such a number of beings. Language failed to express his emotion. If they could not embrace one single instance—if they could not imagine the cruelties which! were confined to one ()tarter of Africa, how could they bring themselves to imagine what may be perpetrated within the enti re range o f t h at most iniquitous and revolting tett& ? If the Meeting kept in mind that not a single day passed but some horror of this nature was o:curring, what must be their feelings ? Perhaps at that very moment the slave ship was on her passage, and some wretched beings in the hold, crying out for water, and answered by the foul-mouthed curse of the despotic and savage commander. The Hon. Member went into a detail of many instances in which the French fig had protected vessels engag in the slave trade. and proceeded to say, that it was gratifying to see with what different feelings the slave merchant looked on France and England. If he perceived an English ship he was seized with dismay, whilst in the French flag he recognised a deliverer and an accomplice. (Applause.) To return to a consideration of the Report, it was set forth in it that perjury was the staple of the trade. Without perjury it was impossible to proceed ; there was a positive covenant entered into between the sailor and the merchant that the former shall commit perjury. In consideration of a certain sum lie undertakes to commit murder it occasion r.quires ; and there is a specific contract too that he shall cut the throats of any English officer or sailor. As in some cases it might be dangerous to avow the real name of the cargo, in some in. stances the cargo is de-ignated " bales of goods," frequently "ebony," " ivory," and often (most properly) " logs of wood." On a particular occasion one of them was called the carpenter, and, wheu his duty wasiperformed he watt again transformed into a log of wood. Sometimes the vessels are said to be laden with mules ; and entaoceurred that when sonic innocent muleteers were brought to Lierra Leone they turned out to be slave traders. Let him turn where he pleased over the papers presented to Parliament within the last six months, and lie found the most horrifying details. An obvious question presented itself : Could they do anything them. selves ? Yes, they could, for slavery existed in theirown colonies. To extinguish slavery was the most effectual mode of abolishing the Slave Trade. Already they had given it a deathblow front which it could never recover. lie entertained great hopes from the iotroduction of the system of free la!;eur, fur the Slave Trade was incompatible with tree labour. With regard to the resolution which some well-intentioned persons hail coins to, of not consuming sugar, the produce of slave labour, he bad merely to say. that he would withhold hie concurrence from it, until he saw the course Government pursued. If they did not adopt some measure to abolish the slave trade, not only lie, but he thought every huneet and conscientious nisi: was bound to abstain from the use of sugar, the produce of slave labour. (Applause.) The motion was then agreed to. Lord NUGENT, in moving the next Resolution, spoke nearly to the following effect :—Sir, in recommending to the Meeting, and to your Royal Highness. the Resolution which I hold in my hand, I feel an extreme difficulty--a difficulty which springs from the very unanimity which prevails amongst us. Sir, there can be no debate where there is no difference of opinion ; argument follows argument, and all on the one side. 'Tin said, Sir, by :mike:, that there is no point in which it is more difficult to steer a ship than ' when before the wind; the whole horizon lies before them; there is r o slant. no inclination of the vessel to either side, and every sail is withholding part of the breeze from another; so we, follow. ing in each other's wake, serve mutually to lessen the effect which, under different circumstances might be produced, There is, Sir, however, another place in which the cause so dear to us has a powerful party opposed to it, (hear, hear) possessirg, too, great re sources, and not very scrupulous as to the manner in which they employ them. (Hear, hear.) Ido tot mean to attack the colonial party (as they are called:, there are many of them, Sir, to whom I ain tied by the strong bonds of natural affection. I know too the difficulties under which they labor. and have no wish to inceease them. I can make all reasonable allowance for the feelings of men whose property has become so much lessened in its value. It is, Sir, against the language held by the colonial party in this country, anti also by a large party in the colonies themselves. I think we are called on to protect, not that we Ina, defend the character of the Society . to which we belong; for while we have your Royal Highness in that Chair, we feel our personal defence to be unneces sary. (Applause.) Wlseu, thereene, we enter on a vindication, it is not of ourselves, but of the great rights of that cause whose re presentatives we are. My Hon. Friend who has just spoken en larged can the barbarous horrors perpetrated on the African coast and the middle passage ; allow me to travel to the opposite coast, and await the arrival of the slave vessel, to watch the emaciated be ings, as their shrinking and worn-out forms areVelivered over to the planter, who anxiously fixes on them his inhuman eye, and calcu lates their value by the quantity of suffering he thinks them able to endure. (Applause.) The colonial party, Sir, cast on us the impu. tation of wishing, at one blow, suddenly, unpreparedly, and un guardedly, to rff:ct the abolition of slavery. They charge us with the desire of effecting an immediate emancipation. We all know, Sir, that the imputation is not true—that it has no foundation in fact. (Hear, hear.) We feel, Sir, tlast the immediate abolition of that iniquitous system is not practicable; but the planters have their own reasons for what they have done; they arty to us, " Speak out.-tell us she exact period when you think the slaves ought to be emancipated :" they say so, for they know, the difficulty in which we are placed, and that silence is imposed on us from a consideration of the class of people whose feelings we must manage with caution ; and why because of the crimes oil their masters_crimes and atrocities perpetrated up to the present day, and of which, from generation to generation, their slaves have been the victims. (Applause.) They ask us to " speak out :" se can't ; we are compelled to proceed cautiously for their sakes as well as for the slaves—we wish not to intoxicate with the full and inspiring draught of liberty those who hitherto have not enjoyed even the taste of justice. (Great applause.) They talk too of the invasion of vested rights--of the mend rights of peopeety. From whom, Sir, do we hear of the " invasion of treated rights"—of the " sacred rights of property ?" Is it from those who drive their fellow-creatures with the lash? (Applause.) Is it from those who derive their right of property front original acts of spoliation ? (Great applsuse.) Is it him the descendants of hue cancers and pirates ? I know. Sir, that individually they ate inno cent of the atrocities committed at former period, and are mot guihp of the crimes by which their property was arquireth For there con, , siderations I wish to speak of them tenderly; but when they came forward and talk of •• right" and " justice," I confese I can no , longer listen with temper. Sir, these terms are incompatible with , slave labour (great applause). They go further, and in the West Indio, they talk of the Constitution, and the rights--"the chartered , rights of the colonies:" They deny the lawfulness of our interfer core, when it is for the hermetic of their slaves. They sanction, 'tis trite, our protecting their lives ; they feel no objection to our aemling out troops to them, (applause,) bat will not allow us to interfere with the right of tenure, which the planter enjoys, of infecting the lash, the chain, and the branding-iron, on 1100,000 human beings. (Great applause.) Here, Sir, I will, with your permission, read a copy of a protest entered into by the Assembly of Barbadoes arum Olt interference. It is dated May 9, 1323, and is an fol lows We solemnly preterit, in the name of the Constitution, against any snot =edemas as dangerous in prinsiple, sod sub. • • 7 j venire of chartered rights." What think you, Sir, is the invent of right of which they complain-what the interftreence against which they protest ? It is, Sit, with the practice of tloggieg fe. male slavee. (Great applause.) And can you belies.' by wheal name this precious document is signed ?-ebsit owe. ! by the come of - Hampden ! (Applause.) Nut that Hampden of whoop A kenslde writes " That sacred name to freemen dear," not that " Village Hampden. who, with dainties, breast, The little tyrant of his fields withstand ;" hut of the nee field and theplantation : it is T. C. Hampden, of the Island of Barbadoes. (Immense cheering.) Yes, Sir, this is the parson who proteateagainstour interference with the branding. iron the cartwhip, and the chain. (Hear, hear.) Sir, I leave these assemblies to their insignificance -I commit all to their obscurity, from the Assembly of the great Island of Jamaica down to that of St. Kitt's. (A laugh.) We leave them to their patriarchal claims over their slaves. Sir, when these persons come to ask for meivoirew of relief, we should answer them thus-" We will give you full advantages, provided you produce to us some legislative enactment for the relief of your slaves-we wiil accede to your wishes when we find you adopt measures to ameliorate the condition of their wretched beings." A certain class of Person's, Sir, in thia country city, and with a degree of confidence truly astoniahiog, that the condition of the slaves is preferable to that of English labourers. I feel, Sir, as much as any individual the degraded state of the agricultural population-I feel for distresses brought on them by the ye t laws and other causes. But, Sir, slavery 1-(ap plause)-Utxl God ! how can they speak so. My Honourable Friend hu said, and said truly, that description fail when Mums:ions serve. We, Sir, never have seen slavery face to face, thanks to those laws which placed the family of your Royal High ream on the throne, which are to us the surest pledge of the scattier of one liberties and the preservation of our rights. (Great cheerioet ) We. Sir, have never seen slavery, and, like th e great and awTul visitations of nature, such as earthquakes or volcanoes, it can be Inot ill described. Let us fur a moment suppose the cameo' the wretched being returning to his miserable hut, after the toil of a hot and scorching day ; let him hear thesouud of the lash, and see the cart whip about to fall on the naked shoulders of his wife sad daughter : let us fancy him sect: the first weapon that presents itself, and strike to the ground the inhuman monster, for the spirit of man often lurks in a slave's breast, and wrings may awaken that ardour which years of degradatiou and of wretchedness have not entirely quenched : such conduct would he looked on as mutiny, and within a short period he is to be seen banging at the door of his cabin, be fore the eyes otitis family, and of that wife whom he taught to prof ect. This, Sir, is slavery. I have not the merit of inventing the illustration, as the wretched instance of atrocious cruelty actually occurred nor more than four rears ago. Iu some colonies the slaves are allowed to marry, and die planters claim great credit for granting such a mighty indulgence. But what is marriage to them ? to see their wives, the tender partners of their affections--and what is marriage without the susceptibility of affection, and he should say that it car the posiesnion of those tine feelings which forms the line of Ile tnarcation between man and savage-(applause)--to see his wife toil without remission, and drag on a wretched existence-to sea his child banded down with the brand of slavery on its forehead-. to see in him, not the child of' hope but of wretchedness, the inhe ritor of' his father's misery, perhaps the partner of his slavery' (Applause.) Can it be credited that such persons, as well as their masters, are the subjects of the British Crown ? In the r.ame if God do I entreat :his :Fleeting to persevere in their exertions, not to mitigate but to eradicate slavery. (Hear, bear.) To eradiate slowly, but effectually, even the very name of a crime more atro cious than the ear of man has ever heard of, or his imagination can well conceive. (Greg applause.) We confine not our efforts to Africa-we seek to destroy slavery wherever it exists. We art pay ing dear fur its continuance, for, Sir, it is opposed to every principleof independent commerce. The institutions of this country, extended to the West Indies, where slavery prevailed, were a curse instead of a blessing. Their Assemblies there were not wholesome Menu tions, for they had nut a free constituency; neither was trial by jury a blessing to them who did not enjoy freedom, for justice and mercy did not temper their decisions. (Applause.) The Noble Lord concluded by moving the following Resolution :- " Resolved-That this Meeting has heard with peculiar satisfac tion that so respectable a body of merchants and bankers of Paris have presented a petition to both Chambers on the subject of the Slave Trade, prating an inquiry into the truth of the charges brought against their countrymen ; and remonstrating on the in sufficieticy of their legislative prohibitit ns : and this meeting trusts they will not relax in their generous endeavours till they hard put down these erintinal traffickers in blood by the force of public opinion, and have also succeeded in removing its present scandal from the law and character of France." Lord CALTHOWPI., in moving the next Resolution, which re lated to the conduct of France respecting the slave trade, regretted that that country did not avail itself of the many advantages and resources it possessed ; that though it possessed a power which at one time overthrew the nations of the Continent, yet did not seem to possess a power now to he able to keep its own subjects be obedience to the observance of the law of nature and of nations. (Hear, hear.) Instead of passing laws against a violation of' the symbols of religion, it would be far wiser for France to pass a law against the present atrocious traffic in slavery. The former was a sauguinaty law, the latter was one of humanity and justice. (Ap plause.) And he could not forbear front saying, that he could not think the approachirg coronation in France, which was in this country a bond of union between the King and the people, would not have that beneficial effect in France, and that it would not con tribute to the security of the perpetuation of the monarchy in that country unless the oils used in that consecration were also used in healing the wound of the unfortunate amid forlorn African. (Ap plause.) blind been said by the son of a celebrated monarch of antiquity, that his father had left him no nation to conquer, but England wished to extend its glory and power not by arms, but b r the extension of its liberties and free institutions to all the native(' of the globe. (Applause.) Ile could wish to see France partici pating in this sentiment. He was unwilling to use the language of reproach, but he could nut forbear to express his concern at the conduct of France. There were some who were desirous of wiping off . this stain from France, and it was right to assure them that in. this country there was a sympathy and corresponding sentiments in the breasts of die o; le of England. We ought to assist them endeavouring to efface this disgrace from a country which always speaks of itself to tile most humane and the most civilized in the world. At some future Meeting he hoped that France had foLlowd the example of South America, which had already respecting this trade adopted sentiments and principles corresponding to the dic tates of humanity and Christianity. (Cheers.) The Noble Lord, then moved the following Resolution Resolved-" That this Meeting contemplates with the met profnund sorrow and abhorrence the frightful extent and malignity of the present Slave Trade ; by the heartlessness anaduplimty so well by the profligate connivance of other European authori ties ; and that this Meeting due most earnestly beseech his Ma.. jestv's Government to presevere in their honourable exertions. until all nations shall have, by common consent, not ooh de nounced the Slave Trade as piracy ; but shall have conceded a mutual right to visit suspected vessels, and shall have admitted evidence of any vesul being_ actually employed in carrying on this Slave Trade to be proof sufficient to authorise condemnation." Mr. D. SYKES, M. P. said he rose to propose a Resolution._ which belated toa name dear to every lover of pietyand of humanity, he need, not surely add the tame of Mr. W'ilberforce. (Applause.) He knew their sentiments would have anticipated him. He wad not do justice to the merits of that distiinguighed man ; he wow called upon unprepared to move that Resolution in consequence of the absence of an Hon. and Learned Friend, whose eloquence would have done justice to the merits of that individual. (Hear.) Though he had, from certain circumstances been removed from the as quaiutance of that eminent person, yet be had in early life bees intimately acquainted with him ; he might truly say of him, " In infancy our hopes and fears Were to each other known, And friendship, in our riper years, Entwined our hearts in one." Ile was not qualified to pronounce his eulogy, which was demisted} 'Token of in that room by an lion. Friend of his (Mr. Buxton.) There was one observation of his lion Friend, to which, however, he could advert. Ile said that Mr. Wilberforce bad not an enemy on the surface of the globe. But he (Mn. S.) was &SUSANd be had an enemy in every friend of slavery and in every enemy of religion. (Applause.) lie would not have spoken thus much of hint ' but for the gratitude he felt towards him, who se friendship he had found to be his shelter and protection in public life in the pride and honour of his days. His heart was big with the subjeets and lee could not forbear from paying this slight and passing tributes's( esteem to his name. Before he concluded, be wiftd to expeopellie disapprobation of a measure which was site sheet le be • namely, the importation of sugar from the Machias.aMbi. sure materially affected the question for whisis they all felt a beep interest, for it tended, more than other eseasel“ could, se phi., mote slave lnbour, and to discourage hes Ulmer, wbrek it wea • one of the leading objects of the Institute= is the w« aheut to proceed to another place. mime pm rabies' Pal about to be ir.,roatteed, and where he wotddl, to*, uluesst olf bits ability and means, co-operate in preventing • useasewe sedeulaught• operate so injuriously towards the cause which were ameriferi to promote.
