Tea at public sale has realised an advance ° L , id to •!,d per lb. on the better qualities of Con rsBs, but green has been of lower value. Sugar Continued at steady quotations, and coffee and ( "°a met a moderate demand at former quota t,(.49.

The Liverpool Cutton Market yesterday closed 4 ' ,44 4, but prices slightly declined. The sales W ere estimated at 10,000 bales, 2,500 of which were tak en by the speculators, and 1,000 by the ex- P o rters. In Railway Shares there was no altera 11°11 either in values or demand. During the last few days nearly 400,0001. has lien received flora Australia and America. This l arge influx is likely to be followed by further re• ittances in the course of the next fortnight, which It la thought will more than suffice to meet the foreig n demand. The Indemnity, with 44,5001., LAds announced yesterday afternoon from Mel 711rne, but it is considered probable that this sup- Ply will be at once bought for transmission to Feria. The demand for money continues active, but no f urther alteration in rates can be reported. The c tive revenue collections and the preparations for mid commercial payments have produced in °teased animation in the discount market, but the t4ovement is considered merely temporary in its character. The Baron osy from Antwerp has brought silver t 0 the value of about 40,0001., showing that in teased purchases of that metal are being made on E astern account. The Council of State in France are stated to have tlepted the treaty concluded between the Midi Rail way C o mpany and the Languedoc Canal Comp, n The English Stock Market is rather heavy , tr ansactions having been recorded at a slight de cii4 e.

Since Monday a fair average supply of English wheat, 1,480 quarters, has come to hand coastwise; but the re ceipts fresh up to-day by land carriage were limited. For all kinds the demand ruled very inactive, but we have no actual change to notice in prices. Over 14,009 qrs. of foreign wheat have come in. Selected samples were mostly held at full quotations; bat inferior kinds were lower to purchase. Barley changed hands slowly, at late quotations. Malt, the supply of which was only moderate, met a dull inquiry at barely stationary prices. The supply of foreign oats was good ; of home-grown very limited. The oat trade ruled healthy at previous rates. Beans and peas sold at full quotations, but the value of flour was barely supported. ARRIVALS TIES WRRIC. Wheat. Barley. English 1,480 __ Irish — Malt.

HOUSE OF LORDS. —(YEsTEE,DAY.) The LORD CITANCELLOR took his Feat on the woolsack at five o'vl.)ck. THE INDIAN ARMY AND THE CIVIL SERVICE. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had received a letter from Lord Canning in answer to the vote of thanks passed by the house to his Excellency, and also to the civil servants in India for their conduct during the mutiny. He then read the letter of Lord Canning, which was to the effect that his lord ship had communicated the vote of thanks to the whole of the officers, civil and military, expressing their lordships' approbation of their exertions. Those officers expressed their gratification at receiving such an honour, and said that nothing could stimulate them more to the performance of their duty for the future. On the part of himself, his lordship expressed his most grateful and respectful acknowledgments to their lordships for their kind appreciation of the man ner in which be had acted. • SECOND READINGS. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the following bills were read a second time :—Tire Devon Valley Railway; London and North-Western Railway (Addi tional NVork•) ; Wallesey Improvement ; Atlantic Telegraph ; Eastern Steam Navigation Company ; Globe Insurance Company ; Oude Railway ; Llanelly ' Harbour ; and Yea Bridge. THIRD READINGS. • On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the following bills were read a third time and passed :—Thyth Har bour and Dock; Ware, Hadham, and Buntingford Rail way ; Luton Gas ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, and Stir ling and Dunfermline Railways ; and Fite and Kinross Rail way, Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from a gen tleman complaining that he bad been prevented in ob taining his rights by the forms of the house, and then referred to the well known Sheddon case, and urged upon their lordships the necessity of remedying the evil. PROBATE AND ADMINISTRATION BILL. This bill was repnrted with amendments. DIVORCE BILL. On the motion that the report on this bill be received, Lord REDESDALE said he proposed to amend clause five in this bill by the insertion of the words " and Ireland," in order to extend the privilege 3 of the bill to that cuntry. Lord CRA.NWORTH bad no ol jection to the inser tion of the words. Lord CAMPBELL strongly opposed the amendment. The Earl of WICKLOW said he believed the people of Ireland would not avail themselves of the bill, because the majority of them were Roman Catholics, and they believed that the bill was at variance with the Scriptures, a feeling in which he participated. He was, however, willing that the amendment should be made merely as an experiment Alter a short discussion in which the Lord Chancellor, Lord Campbell, and Earl Grey took part, The clause, as amended, was agreed to. Several other amendments having been made, the bill was reported with amendments. LAW OF FALSE PRETENCES BILL. This bill passed through committee, without amend ments. THE SLAVE TRADE AND THE SPANISH TREATY. The Bishop of OXFORD said he rose, pursuant to the notice he had given, to present a petition to their lordships from the inhabitants of the parish of St. Mary, .n the island of Jamaica. It state 1 that in 1814 a treaty was entered into between Great Britain and Spain for the abolition of the slave trade, but that in spite of the treaty and subsequent treaties the trade in slaves was still carried on by Spanish subjects, and the petitioners prayed that their lordships would take such measures as to them should seem meet to compel Spain to fulfil the treaty. In presenting this petition he would venture for a few moments to call the at tent ion of their lordshil s to the great subject to which it referred. He was sorry to say that he need spend scarcely any of their lord-hips' time in proving the allegations of this petition, that the continuance of this traffic in ►laves by Spain was a breach of her most solemn treaties with this country, a breach of those treaties aggravated by almost every con limn of aggravation with which one nation could violate the engagements it had entered into with ano ther. As early as the year 1814 a general treaty was entered into between this country and Spain, in which Spain, without binding herself to any particular line of conduct, united with this country in condemning the trade in slaves. Shortly after that at the great European congress, al the great European powers agreed together in the face of the world to condemn this trade, and en tered into mutual engagements one with another that they would co-operate in putting it down. In 1817 a new and specific treaty was entered into between this country and Spain, in which Spain not only undertook distinctly that in the year 1820 the el eve trade, so far as her own subjects were concerned, should cease and de termine altogether, but further, Spain consented to re ceive from this country a sum of 400 0001., which was to be an indemnity for the losses which her subjects would incur by carrying out that treaty. But though that treaty was entered into in 1917, year after year passed by and nothing was done by Spain to carry out that treaty. In consequence, in 1835, a new and more explicit treaty was entered into between this country and Spain, in which Spain repeated her engagements, and she bound herself at once to bring in a sufficiently stringent penal law to make it impossible for her subjects to continue the traffic. But still true to the policy which throughout had characterised her conduct—a policy which curiously enough bad been remarked for long past generations, and which caused Lord Bacon, in one of his pungent re insrks to say that Spaniards were always as a nation slow of despatch, so that their slowness had passed into a proverb' " May my death come from Spain," by which men knew that if it came from Spain it would be long in coming—true to their character, ten years partied atter this treaty of 1835 before any such penal law was made, and then, when, owing to the remouitrancee of this country, a law was framed, the only point which could make it effectual, declaring the slave trade piracy, was left out. But in spite of repeated remonstrances from successive Governments of this country, in spite of the dishonour which such conduct brought upon her, Spa nish subj-cts had been engaged in the slave trade from that time to this, except during two years that Valdez was Captain-General of Cuba. And be had a letter from a persoa who was likely to be well informed on the sub ject, which stated that the horrible traffic still existed, and that several ship-loads of Africans had lately been landed in Cuba. He thought he need not spend any more of their lordships' time in proving the first and principal allegation of this petition, that the slave-trade still continued to be carried on by Spain with anex hausted vigour, and that it was so carried on in spite of the most plain and repeated engagements with this coun try that it should absolutely cease. In thus violating her treaty engagements Spain had not the poor excuse which many countries might urge in such a matter, that her Government was not strong enough to carry them out. The proof lay in a nutshell. It lay in this simple fact, that when the Captain-General of Cuba had been desired to interfere with the trade, he had been perfectly able to interfere with it, and for the time being to stop it. It appeared from the slave-trade papura which were from year to year laid on their lordships' table that when Valdez was appointed Captain-General of Cuba he called together all the persons in the island known to be engaged in the accursed traffic, and he told them he had come to the honest determination to atop it, but that he would give six months, in which he would take no notice, in order that those who had ventures might wind up their affair-, but that at the c xpiration of that time he was determined to put the law in force. What was tl s result? They found that in 1840 as many as 50 ships were despatched from Cuba to the coast of Africa, but that in 1842, when the Captain-General endeavoured to enforce the treaty, only hree ships were despatched from Cuba to the coast of Africa ; and that while in the year 1840 14,470 Africans were imported into Cuba, in 1842 only 5,100 were imported. An d this was not all. When the same Captain-General was in Cuba he took means for aec-rtaining what the general feeling of the Cubans was with regard to the suppression of the traffic, and be reported that all Cubans whose opinions were asked unhesitatingly condemned it, and that the feeling of the people as a body were favourable to the termination of it. And there were reasons why they should. The trade was conducted for the benefit of certain speculators, who introduced Africans for the purpose cf breaking up new land, and bringing it in com petition with the old estates in the island, and therefore those who were now living in opulence on the produce of their estates were desirous for their own sakes that the accursed trsffio should be stopped. But how was the expression of opinion received in that country f It was regarded as a criminal offence, and visited with the severest penalties ; and there were instances in which persons bad been imprisoned and banished from the island merely because they had expressed with freedom their opinion of this traffic. It came, therefore, to this, the Spanish Government, instea d of being overborne by popular violence, itself put down the wholesome feel ing of the island, in order t h at it mi g ht retain this trade. Why was it that the Government of Spain was anxious to retain this trade S He was afraid he must say it was the basest of all motives —it was the personal advan tage of serving great people who received their reward for this accursed trade. He believed there was no doubt that a person standing very high indeed in Spain —close upon the throne of Spain—bad received largely these wages of iniquity for the continuance of this ac cursed trade. Tney knew those who were sent as cap tai.ns general to Cuba were sent for the most part for this One purpose, that they might replenish their exhausted fortunes by the fees which they received on the importa tion of Africans. It appeared by the papers on their lordships' table that there had been captains-general cf Cuba who, within a short time of taking possession of their office had been able to retire with as much as 100,6001, bought by the blood of those whom they bad, in spite of the treaty, suffered to be imported into Cuba It was known that one captain-general received a fee three doubloons ahead for every slave who was intro- duced into the country. But this was not all, there was another feature of this case—a bringing home to the Go vernment of the criminality of this thing, and that wa the systematic and wilful falsification of the returns of the number of slaves in the island. From the slave tratisi papers they were able to trace falsifications of the greatest conceivable amount, repeated year after year, in order to evade the treaty. For instance, in one year the whole number of slaves was put down at 300,000, while they had the clearest evidence that they knew the num ber was 900,000. And there was another matter, the treatment by the Government of that class of Africans, which bore, in consequence of the tieaty, the title of ernancipados, because it was agreed that the slaves who were in roduced after a certain day, should, after an ap prenticeship of five years, be set free.

We were bound to this curse, first of all by our duty to our colonist!e in the West India Is lands, because by that act, which we should always stig rnati,e as unjust, by which tbeduty on sugar from sla ,- e and ft ee countries was equal bed, we had entered into an obligation with our c , louies that they shooll not be ca lid upon to c,n+pete with cAintries which import--d slaves in the teeth of treaties. Again, the people of this country were taxed to a great aneouot to maintain a • squadron on the coast of Africa to intercept slavers. It was a noble use to which to apply morey ; but they had no right to do that, and at the same time to allow by breach of treaties the evil to be created. There was here au inconsistency which went fartodawage our fair name, and led other countries to suppose that we had some other secret motive for maintaining the squadron on the coast of Africa, because they said if our real object was to step the slave trade why did we suffer a state like Spain to laugh in our face and violate treaties ? There was another reason, a great moral conricleral,ion. No na- tion had a right to undertake the championship c•f the afflicted and then shrink from the labour and the danger. We hail no right to put ourselves forward to the world as the suppressors of the slave trade unless we w ere pre pared honestly and firmly to enforce those treaties for its suppression which onr allies had made with us. There was another view of the subject to which it wai imp,— sible not to allude. Remember for a single moment the position of the island of Cuba with regard to a or, at neighbouring country, the United States, and see ho inefitable it was that the condition of things which we had so long suffered to exist must add to the danger cf hostile feeling and acts which might end most unhapi,ily. Remember that the people cf that country are the inhe ritors of our blood, that they have our own blood for the sea, our own jealousy for thc national honour and the na tional flag ; remember that we could not carry on the operations which wirwere told we were carryir g on, not with the ships ofthat nation, at least wi-h the ships sailing under the flag of that ❑ation, without exciting jealousy—remember the unsettled state of the right of search, and see how with such a feeling the intemperance of a single commander in carrying too far the right we claimed of seeing whether a snip was of was not entitled to carry the American flag—see how this state of things might involve all in a common lulls. Be said a common ruin, because a war between this country and the United States would be fatal to the advancement of the human race, to the advancement of anything like rational liberty, tr the advancement of anything like civilisatio❑ and the welfare t f mankind. But suffering Cuba to be a slave-importing state must, in the nature of things, be a continual provocative to war. If happily Spain woull follow the example set by Portugal which, by using her influence, had induced the Brazilian Government to aoolish the slave trade in that country—if Spain would act up to the treaties to give to these imported Africans the liberty which, under treaty, they would now possess —she would take away the desire which now existed in certain parts of the United States to annex Cuba for cer tain purposes of the federation. We had, therefore, in this way a call which no nation could possibly disregard. We were bound in the face of Europe, and i❑ the face of the world, to suffer these treaties no linger to be a dead letter, and to require onr Government to use every means at its command to compel the equivocating Government of Spain to fulfil its treaties. (dear.) . Lord BROUGHAM said itshould be remembered that Spain bad received nearly half a million of money as a consideration for entering into these treaties, which she had systereratically violated. His right rev, friend had alluded to a delica , e sui jest—the hazard of war with the United States, which we avoided by insisting upon Spain acting up to her engagement-% The fire bell which broke their slumbers might prevent their being burned in their beds, and that was how he regarded this warning. Therefore he would call the attention of our Government, of the Spanish Government, and of the French Government to the bounden duty of them al to stop the slave trade. It was sometimes said that the United States had an interest in the slave trade. They had no interest in it ; not one of those states imported slaves. If the system of corruption whic.i prevailed iu the Cel , an Government were put an end to—and that might be done—one of the greatest difficulties in the settlement of the question would be removed, so far as regarded this country and America. We ought to he perfectly candid with our American brethren. They soul I not allow the right of search during peace, for the right of search was belligerent and utterly unknown in time of peace. The law of nations not only declared that the right of eearoh did not exist exe, let during war, but it stated that there is no difference between one ewe and another—that the smallest state has the same right to of j , 2ct to the right of search as was possessed by France, England, or America. He had nu hesitation in Keying that he believed the question would eventually be sa.tistactor ly arranged, and it would be arranged the more satislactorily the more we kept up a friendly in tercourse with whom we had to continue the discussion. That the matter might be arranged by Spain being ceded epou to do her duty and perform ber obligations was a thmsunemation devoutly to be wished. He could not con clude his remarks without briefly referring to a matter which had recently ex,ited some attention. There could be no doubt that the slave trade was carried on under the colour of exporting or carrying free negroes, as they were called, across the Atlantic. In a recent case, out of a cargo of 350 not less than 35 died in the course of 10 days, and eventually the poor negroes who remained rose upon the crew and mut derel the whole of them ex cept one, Earl GREY—Killed. Li , r 3 BROUGHAM said his noble friend was per fectly right. The negroes " killed" the whole crew ex cept one man, and some parties were disposed to com plain of the exception. (Hear, hear.) lie believed a great mistake had been committed by our nc.t, havin; taken more precaution for establishing a better mode of communication between ourselves and the African chiefs, some of whom were men of great capacity and power, and wholly opposed to the slave trade, looking upon it with abhorrence, and wishing to see useful com merce greatly extended. But instead of increasing dur ing the last eighteen months commerce had consider ably diminished. With respect to the petition which had been presented, be thought the people of Jamaica had a most just ground of complaint, and trusted that their complaint would not be overlooked. (Hear, hear ) The Earl of MALMESBURY, who was very indis tinctly heard, after complimenting the right rev, prelate on the hereditary feeling with which he addressed their lordships on the subject, said he wished other nations took as great an interest in it as the people of this coun try. But be regretted to say that we were not aided as we could wish to be aided by other nations, and this was one of the great difficulties with which we had to con tend. The right rev, prelate had with great justice blamed the Spanish Government for its continued breaches of treaty and its cruelties to the natives of Africa. If all the despatches that had been written by the English Government to Spain were wove together he believed they would almost reach fir nn this country to Cuba. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) It would not be fair to infer that the failure which bad taken place was the fault of the British Govern ment. And he thought it right to state that Minis ter after Minister had done his best to induce Spain to perform her duty, but, unfortunately, had not suc ceeded. Spain bad taken a course the most eifficult in the world to overcome—that of passive resistance. The right rev. prelate must recollect that a foreign minister could not entirely act upon those feelings which he pos messed as an Eegiishinari. The fee:legs of other nations who did not view the matter in the same light, and who did not take the same strong views as ourselves, must be attended to, and a minister was often uhab'e to act with the vigour he might othereise be disposed to exer cise. A great relaxation of feeling had taken place with respect to the principle of slavery itself ; but there wits not a general agreement on the principle laid down by the noble and learned lord. No doubt we had no right in time of peace, according to ieternatienal law, to carry out the right of search ; but there might be established a sort of ocean police. Some parties bad refused to admit that principle, asserting that for no suspicion should a ship carrying the American flag be boarded or detained except at the risk of the parties so boarding and detain ing ber. Attempts had been made to obtain from all civil ised nations some kind of agreement by which all officers might know exactly how far they should g r in cases of suspicion, and be protected in cases of mistake. In that we had been anticipated by the French government who laid down this law, that in time of pe ace no F renc h s hip should be detained or searched, or boarded, but that certain forms should be gone through without detaining her, which to a certain but very small t vent would ena le them to ascertain her nationality and her right 'o carry the fig. He could not admit the position lard down by the American minister, unless it should be for tified by the opinions of the law officers of her Majesty's Government, that if the American flag was to have per feet immunity, every pirate and every slaver on the face of the sea would carry that flag and no other, thee dishonouring that country and prostituting its flag to the worst and basest purposes. (Hea r. ) He th o u g ht formed it very desirable that an ocean police should be —that there should be some agreement among states as to how far they sh.iuld he alowed to go for the pur pose of ascertaining a vessel's n ationality. From the conversations be had had with the American minister in this country, and also from the Case, observations con ained in an able pap er written by General he was not with , ut strong hop es that some arrang ement ement that kind would be come to with the United States, which would give the officers of both countries the means of verifying a flag without running the risk of giving off ence. He thought their lordships would not require him to go into the general political difficulties at t ending su pp ression of the slave rude, As he said before, the E n g lish Minister was ften unable fully to carry out his sentiments, and was o bliged to defer in some respects to the opinion of others. He thought we bad committed a great mistake in sending a squadron to the Cuban waters instead of I the African coast. He had been informed by Admiral Fenshawe, who was about to take the command of the 'Nlediterranean fleet, that at the beginning elf the Rue sian war the slave trade was nearly xtinguished— that in the first year of his command on the African coast his squadron captured fifty-four slavers, that in the following year they captured frity, and that in the third year the number was reduced to two or three. He te f.,ll6Wed by Admiral Bruce, who stated trot number was infinitesimally small. But during the Russian war the greater part of our squadron was with. drawn from the African coast, and in the course of those two years the slave trade made considerable pro gress. He had already referred to the number of despatches which had been written to Spain, who, notwiihstaeding the assistance she bad received from this country, had not evinced the least gratitude. The su.picions and fears of Spain with regard to Cuba were always directed to the United State. ; and it had been the policy of this country to defend that island against any ho .a s. tile invasion. But he did n o t h es it a t e t o sa y in his place l that house that if Spain sh ou ld con ti nue t o s how theutter wantof principle—the utter an d b ase i ngra tit u d e —which she had always displayed towards this country, she must expect amity to be exchanged for indifitrence, and in stead of our taking her part she must expect to suffer whatever consequences might ensue from her conduct. (Hear.) With respect to the case which the noble and learned lord (Brougham) had referred, the facts w re Ae he bad stated them. During the absence of the captain and a portion of the crew the remaining porlion were killed, with the exception of one individual. An E eglish vessel having heard of the disaster, chased the eater, who gave herself up without offering any resistance. She was taken into the Liberian waters. The F, ench authorities claimed the ship, and took her on: of the Liberian waters. It appeared e e were not justified it% taking this slaver into Liberian waters without an order or permission from the authorities. Wha' ever quarrel there may be is between Liberia and the French Government, and her Majesty's Government had no• thing to do with the matter. It would be his duty to protest to the French Government against the coutee which they were pursuing, which, although it appeared to be a system of immigration, coal only be cons tiered a renewal of the slave trade. (biter ) The Eat! of CARLISLE expressed his horror ht the system of slavery carried on in Cuba, of which he had been an eye-witness. The suppression of the Flare trade must be carried on with reference to changes and circumstances. Care should be taken not to exceed the limits of our well-defined ;igli;and duties, nor to inter fere with the general rights of otbers. But he hit bound to express his opinion that, in the long run, the people - of this country, who had done so much for the sup pression of the slave trade, would not adopt a retrograde course ; and he rejoiced co hear that there was a pros pec', of a satisfactory solution of the dispute between tbie country and America. (Hear.) Lord WODEROUSE said, however much it might have been our duty to put an end to the slave trade, he doubted whether it was wise to embark in a speculation for suppressing the slave trade, as carried on in the ships of other countries. But having done so, he did not mean to eay that they ought now to abandon that course. He rejoiced to hear of the course which had been taken with regard to the United States, and had no doubt that the greatest exaggerations had appeared in the American papers as to what had bee❑ done by the officers of our cruisers. But be would put it to their lord hips to oon,ider what v•ould be the feeling of the people of this country it there wal an armed squadron in the Channel stopping and searching our outward bound vessels ; whatever might be the reason for doing so by a foreign power it would cause a disagreeable fe&ling in this country. He felt convinced that the moderate course pursued by her Majesty's Government would tend to calm the existing excitemen.:, and cau4e some agreement to be o ,me to on the subject. But her Majesty's Government should consider how far it was advisable that we should from time to time be liable to ernbrdil ourselves with a foreign power, which disagree ments, however we might be able to accommodate them. were very inconvenient, He regretted to hear what the noble earl, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, bad said with regard to the French immigration of negroes. He had hoed that the French Government would have re considered that matter. He agreed that it was neither mere nor less than the stave trade, and be hoped that the remonstrances of her Majeity's Government would have eff, et. This was a proof of the diffleulty that existed in dealing with foreign governments in this matter ; fcr there was no disguising the fact that other nations did not Im.k with the same abhorrence on the slave trade as we in this country did. There was one point which bad not been touched on which he was anxious to bring be'ore the notice of the house, and that was our present relations with Brazil with reference to the slave trade and our treaties on the subject. There was in ex ieteece an act, called Lord Aberdeen's Ant, by which this country was precluded from entering into any commercial treaty with Brazil during the continuance of the :1 ,ve trade. No doubt that measure bad induced the Brazilian Government to act with energy in the matter, and had raised a public opinion against the slave trade in that country ; but he thought it would be a wi-e policy to repeal that act, and to enter into a slave trade treaty and at the same time a commercial treaty with Brazil, and generally to modify the policy which was rightly adopted souse years ago, but which altered circumstances no leuger required. lie was told that the general trade on the African coast had greatly diminished ; a fact which would be productive of fatal results in reference to the advance of civilisation in that country. He had always ished not only to put an.end to the slave trade but to increase the legitimate trade on the African coast which was a large aud increasing trade, and carried civilisation and Cbrietiani y in its wake. Earl GREY entirely concurred with his noble friend who hal just eat down with regard. to the extreme ime pertance of the trade with the African coat, as the means of civilising and Christianising that country. But he must remind him that it was the opinion of every one acquainted with the subject, and especially of Dr. Living stone, that the legitimate trade could not go on until the slave trade was put an end to. Legitimate commerce was destroyed by the slave trade, and it was only by the inter• fcrence of tt,is country that it could be put an and to. The true le & itimare trade was increasing, and great hopes had been entertained that the slave trade would be put down. But that bright prospect had been blighted, and that by t No great countries—the United States of America and France. Ile would assert boldly, and without fear of con tradiction, that in the eyes of God and man the United States and France were responsible for the renewal of the Alric in slave trade. With regard to the United States, he concurred in the opinions which had boon ex pressed of the necessity of our acting with the greatest caution and forbearance. However indignant we might feel at the monstrous prostitution of the United States' flag, it was not only our duty but true wisdom—having regard to the object in view—to remain rigidly within the line of cur duty, and not to put ourselves in tree wrong. But he could not help thinking that his noble friend who spoke lose attached too much credit to the American accounts of what had occurred, which had not yet been checked by those of our owe officers, and that we were acting too hastily. His noble friend spoke of an American squadron in the Channel overhauling our outwar I bound vessels. No doWet we should not allow that for a moment, and he doubted whether we had ever consented to the right of search. Our orders to our eflicere were, if they knew that a ship was bona fide a vessel belong'ng to the United States, though she might he engaged in the slave trade, though there was proof legal and moral that she was a slaver, the orders to our cruisers were not to interfere with her ; but we hal a treaty with Spain ag einet the slave trade, and we were not to be prevented in the ca=e o f a ship corning out of Cuba, though under the Uni ted States flag, from aseeta.ining whether she was a United States ship or whether she was was Span ea ish carsegen ly a pirate s henotti,or.whether; in b hro t ln a e: papers at all, and case only we claimed a right to visit a vessel, and to see what she really tear ? It she had American papers, we dischareted her, and left to the United States the dis grace of being engaged in suet is traffic. But io order t r 118C-otain whether a flag was properly carried by a vessel we must have the right to visit. At the Came time ho hoped that the orders to our cruisers would be strict not to visit ships against Ns hich there was not strong prima facie evidence that they had no right to use the American flag. Great discretion ought to be exercis• d, and if it was not exercised officers who failed in that respect ought to be recalled. With regard to France the case was stronger. That a great Ceretian nation, that the great Emperor of Frarce should be a gigantic slave dealer, was a fact almost too disgraceful to be believed ; but so it was. We knew that it warn with reference to the ship which was captured by ne groes. We knew that wars were stirred up in Africa in order that prisoners might be taken for the purpose of being acid to the French Government. France was amenable in the eyes of God and wall fur destroying legitimate commerce with Africa. It was known that negroes were brought down to the coast and put on board vessels commanded by French officers. In the case in question the slaves rose, and did not murder, but in the exercise of a sacred right, the w e attempt h to re. cover their liberty, kiled the crew of the veesel he h. ship r %vasin ir ltilleer powe r tyby force. of the negr"9' they having t oh 1 1 2. a Y v — ed T t l b re u y tm could not ma T n h a e ge E tb ar e l sb o i f , A u l u A d L U uu al r E v S eE, B sel saved ly right, but what he thought Earl GREY— p board,to lb! t w be s eri done should have been to p:lt iands u and take the ship to Sierra Leone. i o o g n ht The Earl of MA LMESBURY—She was in Liberian waters Earl G , a ßEV—Nei t h er the authorities of Liberia, nor and it coul d not be done. any one else, bad a right to interfere with the possession the negroes, which they had de facto and d of e raeres,hainp by d if we had sent her to any port they chose to go to, no one could have had any right to object. He hoped that poor Liberia would not he brought into the quarrel. Wo were bound to give these negroes all the assistance in our power, without iequiring into the nationality of those who, by an act of piracy, had taken poesession of them. •The Earl of ABERDEEN said that the instructions to our officera, unless they bad been changed, were drawn up under his superintendence ; and when they were communicated to the 'American Government they were approved by Mr. Webster and the Government of the day ; and he believed that our officers were now acting on those instructions. If that was the case, he was at a loss to comprehend what were called British outrages on American ships. We made no claim to visit or to search any American vee.sel, slayer or other wise ; and it was only in ca s es where our cruisers had well-feunded suspicions that a vessel was not an Aineri can that they had a right to visit her. That rule was laid down by his noble friend with perfect accuracy, according to the instructions he (Lord Aberdeen) caused to be drawn up under the direction of Sir George Cockburn, Dr. Lushington, and others acq uai n ted with int e rn a ti ona l law. They were then certainly a pp roved by the American Government, and he did not know what new circumstances bad arisen to c l ause difficulties in those waters. If our officers obeyed_ iceiruclions it was impossible that ther r thereo n u could be any o ot hear that y such difficulty, and he hoped h e shoal can Government had no cient for the purpose, the A meri _ h those instructions had been ch an g ed.
