If so, Own this couture would soon be called on for a vote of 400,0001. to be advanced to the Indepeudeut Provinces to purchase the aboli tion from them. As for the establioliments at the coast of Africa, they had cost an infinite runs of money and several valuable live, without producing any very eticouraging multi.

Mr. Ilextnert—" I feel in common with other Geutlerneu the nrious interests that are involved in the considerations of this question, but I cannot puffer it to pass without makitig a few observations on the probable execution of the measure. For this ,porpose. I beg leave to notice a few circumstaaces that may tend to elocidate the subject. On the nth of July 1815. she Noble Lord opposite was in strutted to inquire of the French Government whether the Slave Trade was not to be considered as abolished iu consequence of Napoleon. decree to that effect, during the •Government of the hen dred drys, and in little snore than a month after that battle in which the blood of this country was poured out as oater, it wss answered by the PrinceTalleyraud, that ell the acts of the usurping Government were to be considered as void, but that es the 30th of Jr' - had been issued by - • King should ntly an Ordinance the for stopping the traffic in slaves whnever it e...._ appear to have been carried on. Notwithstanding this Ordinance the trade flourished with as much rigour as ever, and in those Colonies that hail been ceded by this country to France it had been re newed with 1111 the honors that had usually at tended it. Sir Charles Stuart, our Alubasseilor, was subsequently instructed to inquire of the French Gorerannent respecting the steps that had been token for suppressing the Slave Trade in the Colonies. and the Due de Richelieu informed him that au Ordinance hail been sent out, which proved to be merely a coloniaf . regislatioie. remelting the trade only in the Colorises; but no Decree had been issued for generally preventing French subjects from engaging in it. So that French vessels and French capital might still be employed in carrying on this oefanous traffic, on the African coast, either North or South of the Equator. The consequences were, as might have been expected, responsive to this anode of proceeding, anal in the several plaices which had been given tap to the Fresich Government, the trade was resumed with all the horrid scenes which my lion. Friend has so frequently sad No eloquently enumerated. Tribe was set against tribe, wars were fomented along the whole extent of the coast, and even the bar barian kings were induced to desolate their ter ritories, to meet the rapacity of the French traders. The traffic was restored to all its wonted activity; thus throwing beck an extensive country from ,a state of security and peace to the malty and die order from which they hied been rescind by this country. I wish then to task the Noble Lord. whe-* flier. with these events before our eyes. we are to be still further deluded. and whether we are again to be made dupes to the old Fresich system of trick ing and deceit ? We cannot' forget the facility with which we have fees the Government of Fresco endeavour to pick holes iu insist solemn engage tangos, to erode the execution of it, " to keep the word of promise to the ear and break it to the hopes." We know the faithlessness of the race that governs that couutey. though. God knows! they are better than that tenon whom they displaced ; but connecting these circumstances wish the recent ex pedition to St. Domingo, and the documents that have transpired from that expedition, I think 1 may expect from the Noble Lord some exploits. time. to convince the House that measures will in all fink be adopted by the French Government. to prevent the renewal or continuance of the Slave.. Trade by the subjects of that power." Lord CASTLESILieIIi. I camas approve of the manner iu which the Hots.

I am Not Francis lawyer enough to know how far the le s t lotion@ of the Government of France with Moen are hisultug upon its subject., bat it is cen. tans that the French Governasent look* upon its engagements with this country. its regard to the . Shave Trade, its a km consOrehemare view than they have been received by . the Hon. Illmaber.— By the laws of Portugal. I know that the stipule. t Mao of the Onvennaseut with other States become so far the general lair of the country, that file Courts Of Justice are bound officially to enforce them. 1 am however. assured, that the several &par,- m.tits of the French Government were in the habit of reiterating their continent's for the suppririoi, of the trade ; but it is too hard to 'expect that the good intention. of the Goverion.ist could be or once ilispLived throughout the extent of the Colo- Mrs, and influence Al its subjects so soon after the introduction of so giest a change in their system. As a proof of this good intent . ' 0000 . I have to men tion that the Governor of Boorlmo was displaced for not exerting him'elf to suppress the Slave Trade within his colony, end whenever I have (mud occasion to transmit to the French (iuversi-. mein any information respecting this matter, it he. *buys been received and acted on with th e hest spirit. It had been suggested in this country that it would be advisable to have the stipulations Con tained in the Treaties concluded with ibis country. so/pietism the suppression of the Slave Trade, enacted as a genera/46w of France, end the French Ambassador. with nview to the fulfilment of this 4 414 1 , has already applied foe copies or the law. wasting as flu the more effectual suppres sion mod • of this traffic." Mr. Goason remarked. that this sum of 400,00 W. was to he given immediately for on M ultiage that was not to arise before the expiration of three years; but he felt the advantage of giving it, even for an experiment ; for were this couotry eventually deceived, it would still have the strongest claim against Spain hereafter. With respect to what had.been slated. that the Spanish merchants had offered their Government four times this rout fur the further continuance of the Slave Trade, he laid no weight opus it. He did not believe that the Spanish merchants possessed no much money to offer ; bat eyed if they did o the Spanish Govern ment might have hints politic in refusing it. for after receiving the 400.000/. front Great Britain, it might then enact the other sum from the leer chants.—(Heal, hear./—This measure however, if of most be attended with the he st possible effects in promoting the civilization not only of Sierra Leone, but of the Guld Coast end Ivory Coast.

Simile of them had been hap pily carried sub effect, and he was happy to state, that communications c.fa friendly nature had lately been made by the King of the Ashantees and Fun tees with the forts established in their vicinity. Mr. Manairarr observed, that the finances of this country were affected by the existing System. however the captures of our cruiser* were decided ; for, if legally conditioned in the Admiralty Courts, the captors received • bonus of 90/. or 401. fur every *lave capturedyend. if illegally, the diatomite were to receive 70/. a-bard.

He should not offer one remark upon the conduct of the French Government, but merely state, that he bad written to a friend in Martinique to inquire ■lout the measures adopted for suppressing the Slave Trade in that colony, and had learned that immediately after the conclusion of the Treaty, in structions mail been sent out to the men of war on that station fur enforcing it, and that they had ar rived six weeks after the sailing of the Louis.

Means have at length been adapted Ois ettscislafla the transactions that occurred in end about Wm. cheater during the month of March last, aid, from which Ministers derived such. midair advmstri rage in the execution of their projects against the , liberty of the country. Several Gentlemen of the highest respectability in Manchester had undertaken . to investigate the allegations respecting the eve said to have occurred in their vicinity, contained la I the Reports of the Secret Committees, and the re. , suit of their useful and patriotic labours was last night submitted iu a Petition from them to the House of Commons. The Petition was introduced by Mr. PHILLIP*, to whose circumstantial detail of those events we refer our readers with mingled emotions of shame and horror—shame, that Minis ters mud our outland Guardians should have become so grossly the dupes of interested individuals—and horror, that I.ersons could have been found so ut terly devoid or all setae of common humanity as to impel their innocent and suffering fellow-creatures to deeds of guilt in the diabolical design of reaping some pecuniary advantages from trafficking in their blood. This document, which the Petitioners en gage to substantiate by evidence, if permitted, places it beyond the shadow of doubt that the agents of Government had, by every ;minas endeavoured to inflame the people to acts of . rebel lion ; that their system was perseveringly pursued ; and that their schemes were constantly frustrated by the firmness and loyalty of their victims. It is impossible, we thiuk, for the Secret Committees of the two Houses of Parliament to present their Reports without having investigated the state ments contained in this Petition ; and if they be found substantially correct, the House of eogit. mons would be wanting in its duty to the peo ple of England, were it not to compel the Lew Officers of the Crown to commence noniethate' per ending. against the cruel instigators of these events which have bees repeatedly &romanced by Ministers as insurrections and treasons.
