SLAVERY IN THE COLONIES. Lord PERCY .roe., in pursuance of notice, to move for leave to bring in a Bill for the Abolition of Slavery in the West India Colonies. ; The ge neral scope of the Noble Lord's spec eh was, that it was desirable to put an end t o th e barbarities ex isting in the West Indies, at th e recollection o f , which it, was impossible not to shudder. We Ou g h t to endeavour, , as soon as possible, to rescue the Negroes from the condition of brutq, and raise them to the level of human creatures. The argu ments that were gpod against the Trade were also good against Slavery itself. He thought, herefore, that a time ought to be fixed when Slavery should cease, as a mode by which this d e sirable end 'might be accomplished. He concluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill for the .above pur pose. The IoW tone of voice in which he spoke prevented us from colle&ing what he said more particularly: Lord HENRY PETTY said, that notwithstand ing his respe& for his Noble Frieud's motives and his participation in his feelings, he trusted the House would not be surprised if he rose to deprecate all discussion on this subject, because be bad before deClared, that he considered the Abolition of the Trade and the Emancipation of the Slaves as entirely distinct quest ions.--,The •diseussion of the question of Emiancipation at this time might deprive us of the advantages of the Abolition of the Track., and in this sentiment lie had the c o ncurrence of Most of the eminent charaaers with whom he had convers ed on the subjea. All was done that could be done.' -The Emancipation would be a most serious injury to the Planters, and would not be attended with any benefit to the Negroes themselves. The Emanci pation must be gradual and arise out of the natu- - ral course of things, which was the only safe way in which such great revolutions could be &fleeted. He concluded by moving the previous question. Mr. EDEN concurred in opinion with the Noble Lord who spoke last, and, said that it was utterly impossible that the Country could atiord compen sation to the Planters for the loss of their slaves, supposing there were no other objections to .the measure. • Sir CHARLES POLE was glad the present J , motion had been made, a he was persuaded that many persons in opposing the Trade had this in con templation. The cloven foot now appeared,•and he hoped that it 'would open the eyes of all to the views of the abolitionist's. IVY% THLBERFQRCE also was glad that the motion had j been made; as it would spew the dis tinction which the supporters of the Abolition of the Trade made between the two questions. It would appear not only that they did not intend to bring forward any proposiGon tor Emancipation lioder the present circumstances, but that they would opnosc such a proposition when brongt tOrward. They made a clear. distinction between ,the: questions. Their opponents confounded them. and whatever mischiefs might arise from ;his confusion, must be ascribed to their opponents and no( to them. ne and others certainfy, looked to • the 3altimate EtnaPck eation of the SlaVes, but he deprecated all discussion 'of the qu'eStion at present. Mr. W:e. HEABERT deprecated the discussion of .._subject, as the only hope that remained of pre• venting the mischiefs to be, apprehended from the Abolitite of the Trade consisted in abstaining from any discussion about Emancipation. Mr. SHERIDAN, notwithstanding that discus sion Was deprecated,' could not sit silent on the pre sent occasion. The strongest motive which he had for wishing the Abolition-of the Trade, was a hope that it would lead to the abolition of slavery itself.-,- The: object of the Noble Earl had not, he appre lended, been perfeCtly understood. That object was not to abolish slavery immediately; but to di reat the attention of the House to the steps to be ta ken for the future abolition of slavery. The time and the manner of course would be to be considered. The Planters had a right to fair dealing. Whoever thought- that the Legislature had completely done its duty, that we ought to stop here, and leave the rest to circumstances, it Was proper that they should declare their 'opinions', But if there were any who felt a secret conviEtion that the Legislature must in due time do something thrther, it was their duty to state that conviction openly. He, for one, had a hope that at some distant period this young Nobleman would be no less successful in abolishing slavery than his Honourable Friend (Mr. Wilberforce) had been in abolishing the trade. He pleaded guilty to the cloyed foot---,•though the better words would have been, 3 feather - from the pinion of an angel than the' cloven foot of a devil. But it was impossi ble to go farther at present than the abolition of that trade; though whoever was anxious 'for the abolition of the trade, must be anxious for the emancipation of the slaves. But the second object could not as yet be ,attained without the violation of West Indian property. He did not like to hear this word proper ty applied to these men. The principles , of the Constitution were undoubtedly adverse to this spe-• cies of property; and he hoped the Planters them selves would do what was necessaty to put an end to it. But he cautioned the House against being too sanguine that the abolition of the trade would prepare the way for emancipation. If the Planters were resident in the West Indies, he would hope much; but the agents there might still endeavour rather to brutalize the Negroes than enlighten them. : He doubted whether they would wish to open their minds,' Or inculcate the precepts of Christianity, which taught us to do to others as we would wish others to do to us, Slavery, therefore, might be come even more terrible than it was before, unless the vigilance of the Legislature was still exercised for the 2purpose of inducing the Planters to fit their Negroes for the reception of freedom. The state of the Greek and Roman Slaves had been alluded to. But thecondition of theseslaves was farditl'erent from that of the Negroes. The West India slavery was the on ly one founded on avarice alone. Even the Helots were comparatively free. The slaves in every other instance were often warriors, statesmen, secretary, and instructors of children. Terence was . a slave ---Sepeca was a slave. So much for the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Hibbert) who had, introduced a quotation from Gibbon, who never omitted an op portunity to praise the Pagan Institutions. There was, however, no' chance of emancipating the West India Slaves at present. There could be no expec tation of emancipating them. in a mass, and we were only to look at St. Domingo to be convinced of this: but at the same time he deprecated the conclusion that was too generally admitted, that the Slaves at present were, utterly unfit for freedom. Here he . read some • passages from a Pamphlet, stating the method adopted Mr. David Barclay and his bro r ther, a Quaker, with respe6t to his Negroes. This man resolved not to be the master of Slaves ; and because' he' could not well emancipate his Negr oes on his estate of Penn, in Jamaica, lest it might in jure the neighbouring estates, took the resolution of carrying them to Pennsylvania, and accordingly the whole were conveyed there, man, woman, and child. There a Society existed for the abolishing of Slavery and the. Slave Trade. The Slaves were liberated and sent to difirent employments ; and the result was, that with two or three exceptions, they became models of industry and propriety of behaviour among the lower class of free subjects. Here then -was an example of what might be done. This was no romance. Mr. Barclay was still alive, residing at.. Walthamstow, near this city... He was upwards of 80-years of age; and yet lately sat up the .10101 e night to learn by express what Would be the decision of this House on the subje& of the Slave Trade..--He concluded by reading the motto to the Pamphlet, which was from Cowper's Poems, be ginning with " I would not have a slave to till my ground, to watch me while asleep, or tan me while awake." Mr. PETER MOORE strongly recommended a .•rOper system of management for the . Slaves—f or ha'd management would be the great difficulty the way of emancipation. But to emancipate the Slaves at present would be only driving the whole to destruCtion. They ought to be prepared for freedonl, and this ought to be a constant objea of attention but he deprecated the discussion of that question - now. After a few words from Mr. 'WILBERFORCE, Lora HENRY 'PETTY, and Mr. MANNING, Sir CHARLES POLE rose and observed, that it was improper to discuss a question 'so important with only about 30 Meinbers in the House ; he therefore moved that the House be counted. The House was accordingly counted"; and there being only thirty-five Members present, it was of course adjourned. FROM THE FRENCH . PdPERS, PARIS, MARcu 6. SIXTY-SECOND BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY. LIEBiTADT, FEB. 21.--" The tight of the Grand Army,has been as viaorious as the centre and the left. General EssEN, at .the head of 25,000 men, - advanced to Ostrolenka, on the 15th, along both 'banks of the Narew. Arrived. at t!ke village of Plecies-Lawowa, he met the advanced guard of Ge neral SAvARY, commanding the sth Corps. The I Gth, at day-break, General GAZAN ad vanced with a part of his division of the van-guard. At nine in the morning he met the enemy upon the road of Newogrod, attacked, defeated,.atid put him to ,the rout. The enemy attacked Ostroicuka by the left . babk. General CAmr.INA, with a brigade of the division of GA:z,u4, and General RUFFIN, with a bri , ade of the divis:on of General OUDINOT, de fended this small city. General SAVARY sent thither the General of Division, REILLE, Chief of the Staff of the Corp of the Army. The Russian Infantry, in several columns, attempted to carry the city : they were permitted to advance half into the streets : they were charged ; thrice broken, and left the streets' covered with dead.—The loss of the enemy was so great, that they abandoned the city, and took a po sition behind the sand hills that cover it. " The divisions of Generals SucfrET and Oupt NOT advanced : at twelve o'clock the heads of their columns arrived at Ostrolenka. General SA.• vAitY drew up his little Army in the following manner : General OCDINOT, in two lines, commanded the left; General SUCHET the centre; and General REILLP., commanding a brigade of the division of GAZAN, formed the right. He covered himself with his artillery, •and marched to meet th e enemy., The intrepid General- OUDINOT placed himself at the head-of the cavalry, charged with success, and cut to pieces the Cossacks of the rear-guard - of the enemy. The fire was very brisk, the enemy gave ground, and was driven, fighting, three leagues. " The next day the enemy were pursued several leagues, but without having been able to know that their cavalry had b e in ting and retreating the whole night. " General SUWARROW, and several other of the enemy's Officers have been killed. The enemy left behind a great number of wounded, 1200 of them have been picked up, and they are picking up more 'every instant. Seven pieces of cannon, and two standards, are the trophies of this vialory. The enemy lett 1300 dead bodies upon the field of battle. On our side we had 60 killed, and between 4 and 500 wounded : but a loss that has been deeply felt is, 'that of the General of Brigade CAMPANA, who was an Officer of great merit, and of great expeeta lion : he was born in the department of — M arengo. The Emperor has been much grieved for his loss. The 1 . 03 d regiment distinguished itself particularly in this affair. Among the wounded are Colonel Da HAMEL, of tho 21st light infantry, and the Colonel of drollery NEURIT. " The Emperor had ordered the sth corps to stop and take winter -quarters. The thaw is frightful. The season does not permit the doing any thing great. zt is that of repose. The Enemy has been the first to break up his quarters: He repents of it." PARIS., MARCH 7.—The departure of the Con-, scripts of 1807 may be considered as finished. There, remains only a small number, of youths to set out,, detained at hoine by indisposition. Thus, in the space of one month, all th e C onscr i pts of 1807, called to the a6tive army, Wye s e t out to j o i n their standards. . PARIS, MARCH the 2d, the Mausolees of STANISLAUS the First, King of 'Poland, and his . Queen, were transferred from Nancy to. the Church . of Ben zeeours. The Ax us, observing von the operations of the Grand Army, says," The last vidories of the Grand Army have secured the advantage of its nai. litary positions, completeci, the successes of this pro, digious campaign, and prepared those of the next, should the blindness of the Russian. Cabinet lead it to persist in a war prejudicial to its true interests. " The French army, by reaching the banks of the Vistula, after having conquered Westphalia, Hesse,, Prussia, Saxony, Silesia, and Prussian Poland, szr..., passed the expectations even of those who had hoped the most from its courage. Such labours, would form the whole history of a Great Commander, and they are, however, only two, months of the life of NAPOLEON. At this stage, the inclemency of the season, the difficulty of the marches, the sdarciti, of . subsistence, and the advantage of the positions, pre;- scribed a suspension of operations : the French army seemed to have no more to do but to consummate. the conquest of Silesia and Prussian Poland, to clear• the left bank of the Vistula, and establish fortified posts upon the right, to be able to assume the of. fensive as soon as it could be convenient. " This also appeared to be the aim of the Ernp, ror. Some Prussian Officers, thoroughly informal of the • situation of their country with regar d to, able to. att ac k t h e R uss i ans, i Russia, since the dismemberment of P o l and, had interseel . seen t: to pas thather, armies, 1 1 1 :Is.osilg a difficult a a b d e oy an ill-def en d e d f ront i er, t cou ntry, ed, wild, and impratticable for six months in the year.; whereas, at the first signal, ,ra Rutlsian army might, in a few days tnarch, take possession, almost with, Provinces, as far aosftlalen out firing a shot, cyjiensituiPusar.,sliabisanddisandevratPltoalgiselx. OW position has no doubt often influenced the de cision of the Cabinet of Berlin in the-part it was to take between France and Russia. It has been in agitation to draw a defensive line from Warsaw as far as Konigsburgh ; but this measure would have suddenly raised a dangerous war. It is very singular that this plan should have been partly realized by the last operations of the Grand Army, " The first care of the Emperor, upon arriving ork the Vistula, was to fortify himself there. The • Russian Generals felt the importance of his position,- and wished to dislodge him ; the successes of the battles of Pultusk and Golymin rendered this bar rier inexpugnable, and it became the centre of the successive operations. It was a point from whence the Emperor directed the whole army, and a posi tion equally important to observe the march of the Russian and Ottoman armies, which were advancing towards the theatre of %var. " In this dangerous situation for them, the Rus • sian Generals iittempted a difficult diversion. Whilst they were really upon the defensive, before an army ever via° ions, despairing of being able to defend themselves in front, they determined to attack the Fren(h /truly upon its flanks, to stretch beyond it by the • lower Vistula, and 'thus disengage pantzic Grandentz, - and the whole country, which could • nut arild being soon occupied by the French Army. ,Thus ev.-n the despair of being able to defend them selves, h.sp.red them with the audacity of attack ing ; and the ill success of this attack, was a com plete defeat. But a feeble division of the French 'anti) , sufficed at first to stop the unexpected march of the Russians ; and being soon led on by the Em peror in person, it beat the enemy, and carried its conquests sixty leagues farther than his Majesty had. thought of advancing before the spring. - .cf-The attack of the Rtv.sians, thevefore, :Com pletely miscarried., To stop,. was to deft them.
