The only ques tion was, whether the House should proceed with the examination now, or should postpone it to the next Session. lie was of opinion that it would he proper to CMI3IiIIC Jatut s 1 - I;frVty now. After u few observations from Lord Ebringt on, Lord Normanbv, Mr. H. Gurney. and Lord Cast le ragb, the amendment was negatived, aid the original motion agreed to. Mr. D. W. 11 - Aavav then moved, that Mr. Speaker do not issue his Warrant for the Borough or Garnet ford till ten clays after the next meeting of l'ail;ament.—Agreed to. The Order of the Div for going into a Corn tnitrce on the Came!ford Election watt then dis- chulged. INSOLVENT DEBTORS, Mr. ABERCROMBIE moved for leave to bring in WU to continue for three months after the be ginning of the next Session, the present InsolveOt Debtors' Act. After what be bad stated last Light, he trusted there would be no objection to his motion, especially as the Bill which he , pro posed to bring in would only last till Parliament should have hAd time to pass a measure calculated to settle in a definitive manner the state of the laws between Debtot and Creditor. He also pro posed, on account of the late pedal of the &s -him), that the -Bill, sliould be allowd to pass tbrotigh all its stages this night. Sir kV. CURTIS opposed the motion, and ex pressed I;is wish that the existing law might die a 'natural death. Mr. Alderman NVArramAw argued at consider able length against the existing law on the sub ject', which he characterized as pregnant with every description of gtievance and abuse, and agaißst which petitions had been presented front all parts of the kingdom. Lord CASTLEREAGH was persuaded that the feeling of the House was adverse to a return to the old law; which must nevertheless take place if the Acts which the proposed Bill went to con tinue were permitted to expire. He trusted if would not be difficult in the next Session to frame Bitch a measure ai might on all hands be consi dered more unexceptionable than any which had 'yet been produced. He must, therefore, support the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's (notion. Mr. CALCRAFT, while he supported his Hon. and Learned Friend's motion, expressed his regret that longer time had not been afforded to the other House to consider the provisions of the Bill ♦vhich hod been sent to them. Mr. G. LAMB declared that he must oppose any continuance whatever of the existing law. Mr. Sergeant ONSLow disapproved of any ad jnurnmen► till some understanding on this subject Lad bran come to with the other House. Mr. B. BATHURST said a few words in support of the motion. Lord Ehrington, Mr. W. Courtenay, Mr. Al derman Wood, and Sir James Graham, opposed the motion for continuing the existing law ; Sir J. Mackintosh and Sir R. Wilson supported it. The House then divided, For the Motion 80—Against it 26—Majority 54. A Bill was then brought in, which was allowed to go thropgit the several stages and passed. Some discussion tot* place, in the course of which WAITHMAN announced his intention, if the administration of the Court was allowed to remain in the same hands, to move next Session, that it be an instruction to the Attorney-General to undertake a criminal prosecution against those persons. The Lords' amendments of the Churches Build lug Amendment Bill were agreed to. SLAVE TRADE. Mr. WILBERFORCE stated, that his object In rising upon the present occasion was to move for an Address to his Royal Highnces the Prince Re gent, of a similar nature to those he had formerly introduced. He had to propose, that applica tions should he made to the different Powers of Europe, entreating them to join this country in carrying the Conventions which had been entered into for the entire Abolition of the Slave Trade into effect. He could not forget the fraud and cruelty with which this traffic was attended, and the pain and perseverence with which it hail been combated. A declaration had beets made de scribing that system as contrary to every ptinciple of humanity ; that Government had used every siseatts to gain the co-operation of other Powers; this country had sliewn that it was earnest in the cause by the sacrifices it had made to obtain its abolition. There was only one Power in Ets• rope,,viz. Portugal, that had not fixed a period for its termination ; even Spain had subscribed to that measure, and he could not but hope that Portugal would not continue to subject itself to the imputation of suppotting it. But although the different Powers had entered into conventions, it was well known .how ditlicalt it was to carry them into effect. A flag was hoisted, under which English, French, and Americans had prosecuted the trade. A General Convention had at last been concluded, by which it would, in a great measure, be prevented. It was, however, a subject for regret, that the two Powers. - I,.:'rance and America, hail not become parties thereto; it was grievous to think, that when this country, which had been termed a, shop-keep itig people, had abandoned it, that a high-mind ed nation, .never of any commercial celebrity, should permit its continuance. Surely, when they convidared that it bad been carried on in a most aeant!a!ous manner, and viewed the ravages created Oy IsHiasze, use wessiss 001 aists , A. , tilt interest of a few fraudulent men to iufloence, them in countenancing it. It was the mote dis tressing that the subject had been so long de layed. Some parts of Atria bersan to thew the. effect of the abolition, aid to manifest', that it improvements were cultivated, they would pro ceed in ci•ilizar ion equal with other conut A newly established colony. at „present had two thousand persons under a course of edu cation. The best tows by which the con cerrence of other Powers could be obtain ed would he to let them see how much This country had it at heart. He should -conclude by - hoping that every individual would give the mea sure his support, and that his Majesty's Govern ment would use their utmost exertions to accom plish the object, by which Africa might at last be entirely. released from that calamity she had for soonauy ages endured. He then moved, .that an Address be presented to his ,Royal Highness the Prince'Regent, consisting of a series of Resolu tions, expressive of the sense entertained of the benevolent exertions his Royal Highness had uni formly mark, and congratulating him on the re sult, that the different Powers had acknowledged the inhumanity of the. Slave Trade, and praying that la is Royal Highness would he graciously pleased ro renew those exertions for the entire accomplishment of its Abolition. Sir J. INlACKttsTosli, on seconding the Address, remarked, that it.sequired no other recommenda tion than that of his Hon. Friend. With respect to the conduct of Portugal, he considered it de serving of epithets the most severe. 1-1.0 had lull confidence that America was. sincere in her inten tions to termioats2 it. It was somewhat singular that England and America,. without concert, should, in the space of twelve months, have de clared their determination to abolish it. He had no doubt that it would be marked by the historian,that two classes of Englishmen, divided by•civil _war, .had,• in the same year, agreed to that important measure. Much honour was dug to the South Ame ricans who had, by the first act of its independence, resolved uponsthe abolition of the Slave Trade. In the Island of Lucia the traffic continued : he knew not whether any assistance had bees - rendered by the mother- country, but believed, it application was made to the French Government, great exer tions.would be made to remove that disgrace from the French name. No man could be more ardent in his support of ' the present Government of France than himself ; he considered. it as a safe guard against any convulsions by which Europe might be shook to its centre. He contemplated with delight its general tranquillity and the spirit of good order that prevailed in its legislative as remblies. fle was persuaded that the independent Representatives would not countenance that blot upon their count; y. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, it was not his inten tion to follow the Hon. Gentleman (Sir J. Mackin tosh) through the various topics connected with this subject, upon which he had touched in the course of his speech. This was the more unne cessary, as he (Lord C.) was not disposed to op pose the motion. Though not at all inclined to discouralse in the House the expression of . those feelings that naturally arose out of this itnportant question, it would perhaps be more prudent to suppress them until such time as further informa tion was obtained. With respect to Portugal, these was ho foraal refusal on her part of a fur ther abolition of the trade. The period was not Yet arrived to snake it appear that she had failed in her declaration. There was no ground, there fore, upon which she could be charged with breach of faith. He wished souse particular time had been named by that Power for a fleet abolition, and such was the unanimous desire of the Powers assembled at the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle.— This desire was communicated to Porttigal, but no answer had been yet received. France skewed every disposition to put an end to the traflic as tar as she was concerned, end nothing could exceed the anxiety his Royal Highness the Princelies gent felt upon the subject. The Address was agreed to, nem• con. ADJOURNMENT. Lord CAsTLKEEAGH moved, that the House on its riiing'adjourn to Monday.-- . —Ordered. Sir J. MACKINTOSH presented a petition from Captain R.

PARNELL'S Resolution was postponed till Monday.—Adjourn ed till Monday. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPR.—Pest entity morning an occurrence of an alarming nature took place iu the neighbourhood of Market -street, St. James's, by the falling in of a house belonging to Air. Daly, dairyman, close by Regent•street, by which the lives of 3`2 persons were placed in imminent danger. About five o'clock in the morning, a lodger, on the second floor of the house, was awoke by a crack in the wall of halt a yard wide. The rest of the persons in the house were asleep, consisting of nine families : her first object was to rouse them as quickly as possible. Some of the children were thrown out the windows naked, while others were dragged out lour or . five at a time. A poor woman, in her lying-in, ran out with her babe in her arms, naked to her chemise. An old gentleman afflicted with the gout was with much difficulty saved ; fortunately, just as he got outside the door with those assisting him, the house fell in. The above house was formerly situate next door to the Black Dog public-house. The house next door is also expected to fall in, the walls being cracked. The lahottrees were at work the whole of yesterday to ascertain if any person was under the ruins, the accident creating such confusion, that it is not known but persons who came to assist might have perished. The whole of the inmates escaped, but with the loss of their furniture and clothes. The time from the alarm till the houscfell in was but 10 minutes. THE SUN. •OLF%f QUIS PICERE FALSUAI AITVEAT ? LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1819. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Monday last.—The following are extracts : " PkßiS,JULY ' s.—Marshals Macdonald, Oudi•- • not, Victor, and Marmont, breakfasted yesterday morning with the King - and the Duchess gouleme. " The Duke de Richelieu slept at Lausanne on the 23th ult. He was proceeding from Ge ' neva to Berne. " It is now said that the Session of the Cham bers will be closed on the 24th instant. " On the •Ist inst. a number of soldiers of the 31 battalion of the Legion.Of Pas de Calais, who had arrived at Metz, in company with others of that of COte d'Or, insulted the Swiss soldiers in the streets ; several affrays took place in consequence in . different quarters of the town; 15 soldiers were wounded, two of them dangerously. Tranquillity was at length re-established. • • " During the months of January, Uebrnary, March, and April, the number of suicides, and attempts to commit suicide, at Paris, was 124, in cluding 33 women, of the whole number 60 were unmarried, and 64 married. This amount givei 41 more suicideS, or attempts, than in the corre sponding months of last year. • " The King received yesterday. the Dignitaries, Ministers, Cardinals—the Spania and Neapo litan Ambassadors, and a number of Peers and Deputies. His Majesty transacted besiness in the afternoon with the 13.,tr00 Louis, Alinister of Finance. The Hamburgh Journals, received yesterday, sa y, Three pleasure camps are to be formed in Russian Finland, at Tawatschus, Tovisa, and Helsingfors—they are to be under the imme diate orders of the Grand Duke Nicholas. The Emperor intends to honour thew with his presence. " NUN, JUNR 20.—The day before Yesterday two Couriers from Madrid passed through here ; the one proceeding to London by the way of Pa ris, and the other to Dresden. " VIENNA, JUNE 24.—Dispatches of great im portance have arrived here from Italy. Couriers were sent off immediately after their arrival, but it is not known to what the dispatches relate. It is thought they refer to negOciatious that have been on foot for some months, respecting the af fairs of the Germanic Confederation. " PETERSBURG'', JUNE 11.—The dispatch of Couriers to Paris is more frequent than ever— three have set out in the course of one week. " The personal desire of the Etnperor to re unite to the Kingdom of Poland all, the aocient Polish Provinces,.suhjected to the Russian sceptre, meets with a strong opposition amongit the Rus sian Senators and Ministers. It it helieved,also, t h a t th e Courts of Vienna and Berlin have made representations against this projet, the execu tion of which would not fail to excite among s t the inhabitants of Gal!icia,and the Grand Duchy of Posen, a strong mud just the desire to be re-unittd to their former Countries." The following is from a Baltimore Paper of June 8 : " We noticed on Wednesday the transit of Commodore PERRY, on an important secret com mission through New York for Annapol►s, where he was to embark immediately in the frig;a►te John Adeims. We learn from unquestionable authority, that this Mission has no connection with► the le ported cession of Cubs to Great Britain, and that it will not affect the commercial interetts of the Country." Last night, we find, the House of Commons Adjourned tilf Monday, and the Parliament is ex pected to be prorogued on Tuesday next, The Dili tot the etintinttantE of thE preFent .1 u801 1, '"" Debtors' Act for three months, after the en° . mencement of the next Session of Parliament , night passed through all its stages.—lt is expecte d that some removals and changes will take plac e in the Insolvent Debtors' Court—and, Rumou r says true, such changes h a v e b een hi g hly Ficee s sary some time. Mr.IVILEERporiCe, with th ac benevolence and love of ration a l fre e dom whicl l will animite him in the latest moments of con' scions existence, moved an Addr e s s t o the PRlticg REGENT, beseeching hint to solicit Foreign Powers to _co-operate with him in his efforts 16 abolish what. remains of the Slave Trade. S it JAMES INIACKINGTosH seconded this motion inn` pressively, and, to the honour of Parliament and humanity, it was attended with unaminW as assent. We recommend to the earnest attention of th e People in general, but pat ticularly those who lii' e been deluded by the arts of wicked Revolutionists' the excellent Letter signed loNoTus, in our Par r of this day.

We say this on principle, because We really only know the Author in question by bi g favours, and shall not presume to explore what he may be desirous to conceal. 13 " we conceive it to be the DUTY of Govern - , merit to discover and to patronize those wi'q' in these awful and dangerous. times, devote . their talents to the support of right priu' ciples, and in refutation of those pernicious thea 4 - ties which have no other tendency than to sob' vert and to destroy all that binds rnankintl in Oa vial order, anti sustains the fabric of that g i o riout Constitution, the result of wisdom, virtue, an d experience, of which History presents no coal' pie in any other Country, and which, duly pre' served, will for ever give a proud superiority t ° our own. We rely much upon our MILITARY and • and CIVIL AUTHORITIRS, under the direction 0 f an Administration to whose measures E ur ope is essentially indebted, and by whom the hapeittes e and security of this Country have been preserved; but still more depends upon a LoTae Ness, its these licentious and rebellious times, when even the AWFUL WARNING of the French Revolution , which buried most of its authors under its ruing , cannot deter wicked men horn attempting. , to Elting similar horrors upon thii Country."' The SEDITIOUS and the BLASPHEMOUS PEZSSS S ' are continnarly at svotk to root out of the PUB“-I C MIND, every principle of RELIGION, Mon A LITY , LOYALTY. Again, then, we say, it is TO DUTY as well as THE INTEiREST of GOVERN' MENT, .to seek out , and to encourage 60 01 writers, who, from modesty, want o f con' flexions, or of Parliamentary influence, can onfi manifest their loyalty, public spirit, patriotistUt and regard for Religion, their Country, and man' kind, in the recesses of obscurity, where tltel may sink into the grave neglected and unknos ti ' after having spread the light of troth iu all direr' tions, and powerfully upheld the best in!erests of Society. There never can be a period more critical than the present, or that more imperatively ‘l e° mantis the aid of all Loyal and Constitutional Wr i ''' ters.
