Ile concurred with the Hon.

Ile trusted, therefore. his HOU. Friend would give his Nlajesty's Govern sent full credit for the sincerity of their desire to porsne the negociation on that head by every fair means, as far as it could be crrritd with out pressing it forward i n suet ) a manner us to give pain to the feelings of the Americas Govertitnent. The distinctiiiit between the two C 474.11 of Fruiter snit America was, that the Guverement of the latter had the feelings of the whole of the population of the country at its back in fattier of the suppression of the trade, by which means it had been enabled to increase the severity of its criminal code in the punish ment of those eng,aged in it ; and thouglt-there.was a prejudice in the minds of the people on the stNect of the right of search, which might have made them in some measure averse to the sharing of such a power with this country. yet the general feeling agaiint the slave trade afforded facilities to the Go 'tempera for reconciling the public mind to such a osmium, which, exercised in common, and under the restraint of mututil concession sod agreenteut. contained nothing to offend their natiooal prejudices. With respect to France, he was disposed to place the most perfect confidence in the sincerity of io tentioo of its Government. But the uninformed and prejudiced state of the public mind. and the jealousy. with which it woo disposed to view the in terference of this cosatry upon the subject, inter posed a formidable obstacle to any attempts et le gislation upou it. He did, however. look forward with the must anxious hope and expectation, that the Government of that greet country would find is mod* of rendering the treaties into which it had already entered more perfect end more effec tual fur their avowed purpose, when better in formation on the subject should be brought home to the minds of the masse of the people. These were circumstances which ought always to be kept in mind ; for it would be evident to the House that all negocietions upon the subject with foreign Governments must be conducted with reference to the state of the discussious upon the question. not here only. but in other countries. He could not however think that there wash be much longer any dithculty in bringing the Governments of France cod America to accede to a regulated right of march, without which, undoubtedly. it would be impoasible to succeed in the entire suppression of this iniquitous traffic. Concurring as be did with the Hon. (Umber in the general principle. lie had no opposition to offer to his motion. Sir J. MacILINTOSH said, he could not but la ment that the most favourable opportunity for effect ing the complete abolition of the slave trade had• been lost, though he was ready to admit that Govern meat had been sincere in its endeavours on the subject, and should tint complain of any want of exertion on the part of the Noble Lord and his colleagues since ltil4. The Govermuenis of Europe, as far as their conduct in regard to this question was con cerned, might be divided into several classes. The Government of Portugal formed a class by itself; bidding defiance to the representations of ether Governments, and to the voice of humanity and justice, it refused to join in any treaty fur the abo lition of this odious traffic, hut sold for a seas of money the right of its subjects to pursue the trade of robbery and murder on the west coast of Africa ; and no subaequeut changes, no conduct of other States, trot even the example of a neighbouring nation, had been able to rouse them to a participe. lion iu the feelings of the rest of Europe, or to an imitation of the conduct of the rest of the world upon this question. With respect to America, the Report of the Committee of the Douse of Heine. sentatives last year, and the late Report of the Senate, gyve reason to hope that the people of America would nut long be so absurd as to continue to oppose itself to so just a measure, on the were sound of " a right of scorch," with which, in its offensive acceptation, or in any mode of exercise in which it could at all he viewed no ■n object of national jealousy, bring founded on mutual concession, and restrained by mutual requlation, it bud, in reality, on connexion whateve►. He could lint, however, tonsent to couple the conduct of the Untied States of America with that of the Government of Fr.nce on this question. The United States have enacted the most severe taws for the punishment of their citizens engaging in this odious traffic, and their Government lies been moat limiest in the execution both of the old laws. and of the new and more severe ad ditions to the law on this subject. But what was the state of the question with respect to the conduct of the French Government ? He need not state the extent to which the trade was car ried on by French subjects ; the papers before the House fully explained how that matter stood. But if all other proofs of the dispoeition of the French Government were wanting, the admirable *perch of the Duke de Broglio afforded abundant information of the feeling of the French Govern meta on the subject. The two cases of the Rodenr and the Jenne d' Ilairthrg. as stated by that illustrious per►on, were sufficient of themselves to have rou►ed thwetruogest feelings of indignation in every honest Goverousent. The former Administration had at least kept up the hypocritical appearance of a dis position to give effect to the existing treaties ; but the Adomii,tration that was formed at the close of tat year, lead thrown' aftall disguise, and spoke lit lengatige that forbad all hope of a total abolition; it teettriiyed a dein, to cuuui►e at the trade being carried on iu secret as long as it could ; but as soon I as possible to renew it openly and undisguieedly is all its horrors—(tlw, hear, hear)--and that • Wit in Administiatissa which professed to act tiOnn principles of peculiar strachment to religion and good government—clear, heal—and assumed So themselves the distinctive appellation of Royelitts. • The ?Minister of Fivatioe reproached his Noble Friend with referring to the Treaties of 1814. because they were anti-national; he charged him with bring an enemy to France, because he wished to free her from the fuel stain of this odious tralßc ; he charged him with wishing to degrade the honour of the nation, because he sought to pre vent her flag from being longer m ide a cover for robbery and inurder.--(Cheers.)—ln that speech M. de Villele pruclainted that the principles of that Royalist Ministry were to sanction by con nivance all the horrors displuyed in the cases of the two vessels he had mentioned ; that they were content to unite the restoration of the Bourbon family with the revival of the slave trade, and to identify the cause of legitimacy with that of African slavery.—(Cheer..)—From a Go vernment conducted by such Ministers he could hove no hope of future exertion towards the ex tinction of that horrible trade, The Honour able and Learned Gentleman theft proceeded to centred the " disinterested" concurrence of the Russian Government (having no colonies) in the expression of abhorrence of the African slave trade adopted at the Congress of Vienna, and the profession of its readiness as a menus of bringing to reason those Governments (alluding to Spain and Portugal) which would not agree to it s abolition, to exclude the produce of their Colo ' nice—with the new tariff issued by that Govern ment in 1820, of duties on the importation of fo reign produce, which was so contrived as to ex clude the colonial produce of those Powers who had 'Whaled the slave trade, and to give a uoutiopoly of its markets to those who had steadfastly refused to agree to the abolition. It must, he said, stand re corded to all posterity, to the disgrace of Russia, that after her declaration of 1814, on the subjrct of the slave trade, she, by her tariff of 1840, gave the monopoly of her markets to Cuba and the Brazils, the only colonies belonging to European States where the slave trade was allowed to be openly carried on with all its horrors and atrocities undisguised; and that for the purpose of forc ing into importance a kw paltry establishments embarked in the trade of sugar relining.— (Hear, hear, hear.) —Such was the conduct of one of the founders of the Holy Alliance, the professed object of which woe to enforce the performance of the duties of Christianity; but the practice of which tended to violate the moat solemn engagements, to foment the most atrocious evils, and to promote violence, bloodsi:ed, and injustice, ever a large portion of the world I—(Cheers.)—He should have done great injustice to his feelings if he had abstained from expressing his abhorrence of the conduct of those two Governments. He should nut be deterred from persevering in Ins exertions in this cause, by any opposition, nor by what was still more wearisome, the continued repe tition of the same aubjeets; but as long as he was a Member of an assembly where free discussion was permitted, lie would raise his voice in calling to the bar of the public opinion of Europe tease public agents of power whose coudect proclaimed that they were to be restrained by no considerations of principle or good faith.—(Cheeis.) Mr. tilearrArr maintained that the conduct which the French Government was pursuing for the encouragement of cultivation in its Colonies, rendered it incumbent oo all parties in the House to join in some measure foe the relief of our own colonists, and to enable them to meet the French in their own market. Dr. Luommatow said he had no doubt the Noble Marquis had heard of the capture of a Portuguese slaving vessel by the British ship Pheasant, the Captain of which put a midshipmen and eight seamen ou board to take charge of her. The Portuguese master, with the aid of such of his crew as remoitied on hoard, a few days afterwards rose, and put to death the midshipman and seven of the stamen. That atrocious murder was af terwards broueht to light by one of the eight stamen, a black, who escaped with life. He thought it necessary to Aura this transaction, because it ought to be publicly known by what nlluua the Protogue.e suffeisol this ',platinum traffic to carried vim.

Mr. GOVLBUtW postponed to Tuesday nest his motion fur the renewal of the Insurrection Act in Ireton& DREADFUL CONDITION Or IRELAND. Sir J. NEWPORT arid, he considered ii due to the honour of the House and the country to cell upon them not to separate without some explana tion from the Government on the melancholy Irmo action* which were passing at this moment, end :is to the accounts which had been promulgated re snecting the wretched condition of Ireland.— (Hear, hear.]—lt had been 'publicly announced that in one perish in Ireland fifteen persons Mid uctually perished from f•miue, eight persons in the same 'wish had been derlered by the parochial clergy pest all recovery from the same anise, end 130 individuals in the came pariah were lying ill of a fever.—(Hear, hear.)—Under these appalling circumstances the House should demand from Go vernment some statements which would outmost luxe the public mind ; and he could assure the House that in calling their attention to this a uhi. e r, he was not actuated by any motives but a feeling of what woe due to the character of the House, and to beseech and implore the Government to give some explanation of the means which would he employed to arrest the progress of the, dreadful evil. lie heard to-day from an Honourable Friend of his who represented one of the counties in Ireland where distress was most prevalent, that in one parish, sharing off all the money that could be collected in 6ve days, it only furnished food fur two dap, and that many unfortunate individuals were prepared for death by the parochial clergyman according to the rites of their church.—(Heer.)— The humanity of England had never been op pealed to in vein, and he hoped that the House would influence the Government to apply some means to alleviate the miseries which existed to such an alarming extent in that unhappy country. —(Hear, hear.) Mr. GOL/I.BIIRN could assure the Right Hon. Bart. that he totally acquitted him of any un worthy motive; end he could further assure him. that he felt re deeply a. he or any nom in the House could feel for these awful calamities; and perfume he felt them the more sensibly from the conviction that perhaps after every exertion which the Government mod private individuals could ,sake, there would still necessarily exist a state of misery which it wits not iu the newer of man to prevent. That appeared the more evident in these districts to which the Hon. Bart. had alluded, because from the difficulty of communication is want of roads, in was extremely herd to afford prompt relief. He had received this day accounts from Ireland, in some degree confirmatory of the statements of the Right Hon. Baronet, and particularly from the county of Galway. Some tiu:e since he had re .ceived intelligence that dieter's' was fast approach ' ing there, and although he knew the Lord Lieute nant was in correspondence with persons on the spot, who from their local knowledge could best give moistener, yet he (Mr. Goolbura) sent over to two harbours in Galway those provisions which were most nutritious, and at the same time most easily conveyed, and to-day further Ailments were sent of the came provisions, namely, naval hi .nits : and although lie could tint promise the /louse that all these exertions of the Government co u ld he success ful, yet it was some consolation that they had done every thing in their power. By the vote of Parlia , nient the Lord Lieutenant had 100,0001. at his dia. posal; and in Galway, where the distress most preyed : ed, there was en engineer on the spot, not only for the purpose of giving employment to the peasantry in public works, but who was invested with discre titulary power to extend relief wherever it was found necessary. He hoped it would not be nece►sary fur hint to dilate further on a subject which gave him peculiar pain from his inability to do all that he desired.—(Hear.) Mr. Vases FITZGRRALD said, he was sore Iris Right lion. Friend (Mr. Goulbu►n) fell grateful to the Hots. Baronet for the opportunity he had afforded him of stating what hid been done by Into, and was contemplated by the Government. Of the dreadful distress which existed in Ireland it would he impossible to drew the faiutest picture ; and yet at a nine when English charity had been on ge nerously exercised, he lamented to say, that within the walls of Parliament some doubt ►till existed as to the extent of the misery of the people of Ireland.

Mr. H.

Mr. Bauuttilait merely wished to say one word in confirmation of the principle of his Hon Friend (Wr. Wilberforce). We must not consider this au act of generosity or honsanity, but in nowise must we call it charity. It was our bounden duty, and the people of Ireland should not receive it as ells eity, but as their strict right.—(Hear.) Mr. PIM, said, that in proposing 30 or 100,000/. it could not have been the intention to stop there; hut it was considered the most convenient course to vote the money in different sums while Parliament wns sitting.
