The Earl of CALEDow was in• the Chair, sap. ported by Lord Gambier, Mr. Wilberforce, Mi. Win. Smith, Mr. Barclay, Mr. Babingtioa,aad some other Members of Parliament. The Earl of CALIDoN, in opening the business of the day, regretted the absence of his Royal Ilighross the Duke of Gloucester, who was than attending. elsewhere a meeting fur a heinous pu pate. The CUAIRNI•IO celled on Mr. Harriet,. the secretary, to reed the Report, which this Gentle. man accordingly did. It was of considerable length, and drawn up with great ability., It set out with adverting to the inadequacy of soy mea. sures for securing an effectual abolition of the Slave Trade, unless the right of search Steve ad mitted by the several Powers of Europe . and the trade itself stigmatised mid puni shedas piracy. The right of search had been conceded by Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands. It alluded to the partial existence of the trade under several heads— principally under the French, Portuguese, Anse !icon, Spanish, and Dutch—and described the se veral legislative measures adopted by each of these Powers to oupprese so atrocious a traffic. It porti. cularly untitled to the tardy conduct of.Fratice, who had not promulgated an ordinadce until the Bth of January last, and forcibly pointed out the revival of this odious traffic at Senegal and Goree, where the Moorish tribes, in ',cunt% slaves for barter, hod left nothing hut desolation, where corn, tobacco, cotton, and melons were lately flourishing. The Governors of Bourbon god Suree were lately recalled fur seeming,tn connive et the Slave Trade, gisd it was hoped an inquiry would take place into the conduct of the Governor of tiroorgat, where it was the ,practice to clear out ships its ballast at the custom-house, and after. wards get sieves on board, through a rlangeroiss surf at the month of the river. The helmet al. hided voluminously to the judgreetit,given by, Willisin Scott, in the case of the Louis. also to the affidavit of I.ieut. Eike. of the Cossberhsed, who descrilied the horrors he had seen oq.board the Seilist Joachim, slime ship, and enumerated the p,9rts to N% hiudi S lw i oand Portugal had by treaty consented to confine their part or Alija trade. It aim descrilard the Institution of a Society in America, at the heilak or which 'tie tlieshingtou's *Kithira. the object of hich was to colonise parts of Africa with such of the free Negror,eoo,ooo of whom were in Auntie*. as wished to revisit their native land. Two Gentle men had arrived here from this Association, and Iwd gone out to Sieve Lome with . letters of re ronnuentlatiou from Earl Bathurst, to Governor .31'Carthy to ascertain the practicability Of this plan of eolunizatioii. It reviewed the conduct of the Dutch usi the Gold Coast, and nlso what bad °c entred at the Isle of France, Madagascar. Ceylon he. It also touched upon the inadequacy of the Registration Acts at the Colodiol Assemblies, aud the Mho tomtit). which of late cluiricterised the Slave Toile wherever it had been carried on, in anneal ships giving resistatioe. And the effect which the re vival had hail upon the native Chiefs, who supposed that white men had given it up. The improvement ;,1 Sierra Leone was forcibly dwelt upon, as well as Ihr inelaiseltuly failure of the expedttions into the interior, to escertaiii if the Niger and Congo were moist one and the same river. It augured favourably of the progress of the great question 4)l' the aboli tion, but lamented the inadequacy of the funds of the Isistitutiuti. The Report took a pointed, owl deserved notice rif the value of the services of Sir Thomas Staniford Riffles while at Java, &c. white active and • en lightened co-operation to put an end to this detest. idile traffic was described as being above all praise. Thi. distinguished Gentleman. it stated, wait now eini:g,tritt as Gove f of Madagascar, and had p!iniiised to continue his able .tissistance to promote The same desirable object in that part of the globe. On the mutton of Lord GAMBIER. the Report was received dna adopted ; and on that of Mr. C. atid of Mr. Cpithrs, Auditors and other Officers were appointed. Mr. Wltsisaroics moved the presentation of the Office of Honorary Life Goiernor of the African Institution to Colonel M•Carthy, the Go, ‘eriwr of Sierra Leone; for his admirable and efl'i rirut in the improvement of that colony,— The Hon. Gentleman described the Colonel's co. , perantwe wills the views of the Institution to have of the greatest use. He then took a review of m e blow ',ingress of colonization when even iu the ihlrst hands, and its value when properly atteuded to ; amid illustrated hits observations by reference to the early plans of Sir Walter Raleigh, Bacon, and :tin, to the early state of Virginia, which was ac tually given up as a forlorn hope, when the settlers %erre at length prevailed upon to return, and had ultimately succeeded in the cultivation of the soil. Ile praised the state of Sierra Leone, which con. tained among its people seven or eight thousand poor blames who had been rescued from the holds of slave-ships, and taught the blessings of Christiaiiity end civilisation. The Motion was carried unanimously, as was also 11 similar one moved by Mr. Babington to Sir Alex. Jultiosoile, Governor of Ceylon, who l i d prevailed • poi. the native Chiefs to abolish domestic slavery. I Hon.

LONDON, FRIDAY, Aram 11), 1818. . • The debates last slight in the Ursine of Com mons will be reed with 'peculiar interest, for they refer to subjects of vital importance to the internal economy of this country. The Cliatics3..toz of the tXCIDQUEII proposed the continuance of what has been strangely celled the Restriction ou cash payments by the Bank of England, founding his claims to that measure on the present high prices of gold, the dlsposition to export specie to foreign countries, and the Fousequent disadvantages to this country in being .deprived of all its precious metals. Anxious, however, as the Hight Hoe. Gentleman has been to represent the measure as purely national, and founded solely on principles of public convenience, it is but too manifest that the interests of the Bank of Fugland alone are the great object of his care, fur throughoct the course of his speech iso arguinetit can be found which Mar not fairly be referred to the conveoietice and profits of that great commercial establishment.— Y It is an alarming symptom of the latent intentions of the Government to hest the CHANCELLOR of the EICIIEQUER comparing . the circumslaucsi . of the country, as they it .present exist, with those which in 1797 *reined to render the original re st►iction necessary ; for, after the experience we have already bad ou this subject, we might tea. moldy apprelieisil that the same circumstances will be found to occur in regard to the foreign ex changes and the price of gold, whenever the ques tion arises in future for the termination of the pre sent system. 'lle causes of ; the highs prices of specie are stated by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUEIt to be, the bid loftiest in 1816, res quiring the importation it{• large quantities of grain -r-the great number of absentees, drawing in cash their memos of subsistence from this coun try-41e residence of our army on the Con tinent—and the negociations of loans in thi.4 country by fotei;l:n powers. The number of per sons who had left the port of borer to taste the pleasures of the Continent, from February, 1814. to the present year, amounted to 90,000, whose annual expenditure the CHANCELLOR of the Ex titeCtixtt calculates at about two millions mid a This calculation we believe, w.tls Mr. TIERNEY. to bra• very exaggerated, for if is certain tied the class of our country folks who principally reside in Praiser, are not thane most capable of expefidipg much 'notary. .. • The CIIANCLI.LOII or the ExcuEouut,liifewise detailed his plan relative to the issues of private Broken. It is proposed that they should deposit in the hands of the Commissioners for liquidating the national debt, by way or security 19 the public, stock to the nominal value of double the amount of their issues is notes under five pounds. or Exclie risser lulls to the actual unionitt of their notes Mined. They are also to pay a presisinin of all eighth per cent, or 2 s. 6d. Su every hundred pounds, on every first deposit, unit one. shillisig for every subsequesst year. This will t effectually prevent the cir culation of country bankers' notes of live pounds and upwards, for no person will bi induced to hold notes of a high denomination on the hacker's cre-* dit, when he might hire snore effectual security for smaller notes to the same amount. These rotes Ma to lie diitinguislied by a peculiar stamp, to mark that the security has been deposited.

During the examination of its merits, however, the country wai t ma tte d t o en- dure all the evils of uncertainty; and gamblers and stock jobbers were permitted In tritimpb.in the confusion which the indecision of Ministers had crested.
