This part of the Sithject•uaturally led hiM to anodise, which it Was very painful for him to touch .11;1014:and the ecineerti which he felt in alluding to it was mingled with Much surprise. What he meant wrds,theitn• potation that the Registry Bill was the cause at the late insurrection of the. slaves: lie really should! have thought it' impossible for any rational man elatedly to assert this ; and he would tell the House why. Those who asserted that the advocates for the aholition wished to make the slaves flee, did not consne themselves to asserting it in this House, - hut they soill so c)sewheeel.....they did inore—ethev. printed and eireulated these assettions its the hulls Islands. They were printed Iti - sWebe West be. die newspePers. This fact was OW enough to show the cause to width these lamentable effects were to be traced: He held its his • hand, letters written from the West India Islands since the in surrection, and from personi of the wrist respect. able character. He then reed! an extract, from a letter written by a Gentleman in the Island of fiarbarines, dated a week before the insurrection: htoke out, in which the writer shoed, that such was the violence and intemperance with which the Planters in that Island spoke against the - Re gistry Dill, even in the presence of aheir• Slaves, that it *Mild be astonishing, in the stateof it. ritatldn ih which the minds of -the Negroes were thus kept, if some explosion , did not take place.

But were such assertions to he endured When a tumult was some years ago excited lit the metropolis by the coinsuittal of certain persons by this House, on which occasion several lives bad been lost, were the lives of the nfertunate vicilms on that occasion to be charg ed on the resolution of the House ? On a more rdcent occasion too, when riots took plate dining the progress of the Corn Bill, were the litres to on that occasion to be charged on the House fur phssing the fill ?

If it were necessary to go any - farther into this most dlitressing part of ,the subject, he might prove very satisfactorily to the House that there were some circumstances in the situation of Bar. bitdoes--(lte hoped nobody would insert its the Jamaica newspapers wt►ut he, w►as going to say)=-- that the condition of the negro population of that, island was Stich as-might accoutit for the insurrec tion.

Sion, and to which recourse might still be hid, ' which wOuld'ets far enough to corroborate his 'statement ,as to the general condition of the sl aves in Barbadoes. As in the more immediate 'guess tion of ,Registry, the measure was one which was absolutely ; necessary to give eiteiency and security to the ahnlition of the Slave Trade; in short, it Was a meestire, not only desirable, but absolutely indispentible. What made it particularly neces 7 sarr was, the extent,to which smuggling of slaves had - been carried.; and this. Wes an evil which Could never .he thoroughly eradicated except by Means of a Registry e indeed its existence, and the extent to which it was carried, wits the chief erg anent for the measure. To prove the extent to Which smuggling of shaves was carried, !spe cially in the stnelle, West India Islands, tat might adduce the evidence of all the Naval Officers who had served on the Nest India, station. Noy, a still :more conclusive authority might he pros ducted' to prove the tact t no less than the noose of Assembly of Jumatcas—for they had urged that it would be impossible,even With the assistance of a strong tu my, ttipteVent Now , as to the conduct oldie Utilise of Aiseiably with reference to, this poiut, he , must beg leave , to Say a few words. He had been happy enough to live to see a greater number of advocates for the abolition of the Slave Trade then, he could to one time have ever 'ex pected. He had seen in the ranks of these ad vocates, persons, who, from early prejadices or notions ut interest, were the last whom he could expect to come forward in such a . Seine. But what was must, miraculous of all was to find that the very Legislature of the West' India Colonies came forward as the most strenuo u s of thoseadvu. cates.--nuy, terming the niost indignant surprise utmost horror, lima it should be suspected they were capable tlf countenancing the smuggling of slaves. I/ was a eonailan saying, that exces sive 74.1i1 in a young convert Was much to be sus pectel ; anti he must confess that his feeling with respect to tlic,Hause of Ainembly was formed' en-, tirely •on this notion. If b e h a d ' seen t h em express in . their Report a sort of growling aceulcieence in the law expressing a disposi don to conform to its thaetatetal, butt areal,. iag tit do so ' with reluctance, it . Would have been a different thing. But when .he r oti f i d th at they calla; forward by expressiug in their 'Re pun -such extreottlinary zeal and alacrity, a nd ee . eriling such singular indignation that it s h ou ld insinuated that smuggling was refried on ; end When at the lame time he examined into the state of.the facts, his suspicions ut their sintet ity were very great: There were so Many statements and proofs of smuggling being carried utt in the *mailer islands, that the feet Wati inontrovertible. n on i t wa s , proved by the returns that t h e negro popubohan,in the different West India I s l an d s h a d, flit the fifteen years preSions to 160, beet, gra• dually decreasing ; whereas, - *blot that periett, contrary to the experience - of the preceding fifteen years, there was an *mite; this must appear a very strong fact... There were, too, many Coen i. horettee farts, in inklitionto this sq9p s 'itt'sisurnp. thee pm of. innnediately after notiee. was given that a Bill was to be introduced to enact, that the Offence of trading in slaves %via to be to felony, the tfegto popidatioo increased in an anntiing pro portion ; and this could easily be decounted for, because the importation of skies being then about t o b ecome munch loon: difficult , from the operation of the Bill, of which, notice' had beam given, it was necessary to make the best use of time period which elapsed before the law was passed. • BUt there was one fact very important. as affecting time eoustroetion which must be put upon the teal of the Hittite of Assembly, as expressed in their lie port, which would spew at once how mach their zeal . was to .he suspected, He alluded to the man ner in which it was.attempted to east a doubt on the returns of popolation those the accuracy of yearit durbig which the greatest increase eppear ed ; and the way in which they endeastirerl to' excite this doubt, was by stating that a. poll-tax had been imposed on negro slaves, and that by its remov‘l, there being no temptation to conceal the number of slaves, that apparent increase was caused, which appeared in, the returns after 1608. Now when he found upon inquiry that in the year 1811, (one of those to which the greatest in crease appeared) the Tax Bill . alltsded to 'had ac tually been passed ) when he found such a method employed by . the House of Assembly to get rid of the suspicion, when he found theta use in their .Report- such ambignotts language, it:--wow impossible not to feel the•strongest saspicion:.; ,, s saspieirm which would he equally excited by simi lar conduct in any ordinary transactiOns of life. Addin g to this, the positive proof of the introdee- Om of slaves to the mailer islands, the House would see how little the Colonial Legislature was to he dopended upon in this meter.' These facts woold also prove, that if it was wished to make the Abolition • of •the Slave Trade real and .sub stantial, it would be absolutely necessary to adopt that measure which o.n some future day he tended to propose' to the House. What then was to become of .the great arguthent against the Iles gistry Bill, that it was t measure which ought to beleft tam the Colonisi'l li tgislature l Why it was plainlyabewn t hitt ifahat Body was to be depended upon for effecting , thicserviee, the House would he completely disappointed. At the lame time he dirt confess, that it the Colonial Legisleturemas really disposed to carry the 'measure- iota effect, there•would be nothing more desirahle then that it, should be dune through,them, There Was one other fact to which .he could not but ellude, and which would chew how little the Colonial Legislatnre was la be depended upon. A few years : - before the abolitiort, that Coluoial.L eg i,b t.7 tore had been advised, from whetice such 'advice, was likely to have the greatest weight-40th by Members in this them, end by his Majesty'` (ito.

And yet; mitwithitamling. 'all this, theiter relircsentatione and all advice •haa be e n entir e ly disregarded 14 them. One of the Mealtimes Of reforni which had be'en partiodarly reeommentleir,to client at that time was the att a ehme o t cif to the soil—td irt,event these unhappy creatures from being sold, removed to another C3tatC or Limo!, and swept Sap front the spot where tlfey•miglit have lung lived--;-wher e they had formed connections and acquired prOperty--;:iftins which Miglit be endear. eu to them by a thriositod ties., This was the rnea . iikt which Mr. Br i vith BilWartis pr H osed to this, 'loose. The House of Assembly sou, in their Report, S pok elbost Plausil4 in favoSr it ; bttt Still they did not take one single Step to wards its adolitioii. AU this was surely enough to sliew that it was. in ittie to look for the assistance of the Coltiiihtl Legislature towards the adopti o h of Registry. lint when he thought on the coun try to which he hi:longed when, lie recollected who those were Whoni lie was now addressing; when he knew the hearts aml the heads of those to whom he appealed ; he was sure, that to hove the ineitt.nre adopted. it' wigs only necessary to kitty, it forward. He tvoi rprgetting, however,' the great charge brought ilgattai him as to this measure; he was - forgetiiiig . tlfe accusations of methodist and f‘maticism. It to feel for the stif% ferings of fellow-creatures—if to take an intereit in their r'elief—if to stri've to ameliorate Optr cOn dition—if these were the %printouts (if then he must admit himself to be so inciirable fii tottie. 'And :is whit other madmen, when Viti lence was f o und to be unavailing, it was 'econs'-' mended to 'change the mode . of treatment to One of tentpetance and indulgence. He prayed that thii might'be tried tipon hint. lint in estimating his hopes of success ittiattaining his object, he would go Milt farther in reckoning : on the effects. ad thitt great principle, which t his opponents vainly sought to discredit lie would say that it was not only from the natural humanity, but, from the re ligion or the people of England, that he expected success. There was one argument used against him, to wh;ch teCoorse was'hod in opposing the AluditiOn 'of the Slate Trade t he was asked whe titer he could not find limit stone other evil crying as fondly for remedy 'as the cOnditio u (tf, ttegt • f , slaves, and moth nearer 'home % . He was asked why lie did not ;triply himself to 'the distresses of the Irish, leis that they were in povery and mit sery- ,, --that they were forced to leave their coati- :try ? Now he knew 'the frish character too well to suppose that they could be take,' in by any shallow compliment, such as might be intended by this .argument he was sure that, great its might be the. distresses Of the Irish people, thef wool & feel themselves to be insulted by any • comparison of their situation with that of the Negri, Slaves in the West lodies.,.There was still another circumstance which in the way of argu ment was' brought:6o'l4st hini and the 'friends of the Registry Bill; by its opponents, for these Gvntlemen kitocked at every door, in hopes of finditqt some fitendly absistanee. They alludes' tta tiot itierellite of a forvigner, who witnessed a hVlVVi!vii Item' one o f v ib on i ar Last went aw,ty, tin which flit tortigne'elthserv. to the oilier drat he was sorry that lie had worsted tai the aronent, tip his oppo -nein went off with perfect cOohiess, 'while he remained restless and heated, 'and' very un comfortable.' Now,' as to this allusion, be could •only say, that the itepporters of this Bill. felt (lithe comfortable. With respect to the subject of Missionaries, no One who knew - any thing of the subject could attempt to dewy, that the Moraviaoi had done very great good; anti ;suit to them the Methodists. Ile hod beard it repeatedly said by planteri nod slave-owners, that i•t•rtegro ivats doubly valuable if he Was a Mora- • virtu.. It Was not' his whim to intrude:olly longer upon the time of the House. - understood their feelings, wird - knew their principles so well ; be hod Such confidence in their wide: standing and judgment,, that he mo,.persiottled it was only ne cessary, to explain the subject in order to obtain their cordial assent to the proposed measure . . To facilitate this etiolanirtion,soMe docutnents would be necessary, anti he therefore moved, Tlot ittimble.tddres, be presented tabl3 Ro)41 High ntss tElc Prince Regent,,prayitig that thole ittizht. be laid be- fore the Hoofe Aecooot of Ili t!

I.le +'V flee to'confess that the speech o f the Honourable Gentleman had materially al.' tert d the cimrse which be tutu ntled to have Rtitcn on this. occasion. If any thing Was wanting to iodoce 'him to think it was totheconting in that House to intermeddle with the internal af fairs of the West Indies, it was that speech, which : he could not but think was calcu lated tn. prodnce ilicalcillabie mischiefs, front the' brilliant manner in which the.
