CITY OF LONDON'' TAVERN, 31st MAY, 1822. AT a MEETING o f th e COMMITTEE f or the GENERAL SUBSCRIPTION for some IMME DIATE ASSISTANCE in the EXTREME- TEMPO RARY DISTRESS of the South Western Provinces of. IRELAND; The following Report. as agreed on : The amount of 112 Remittances in Money to Ireland, from the Bth to the 31st inst., is 24,7301., transmitted to Central or Local Committees, or other Official or Proper Persons. Amount of the Funds placed and to be placed with the seve ral Protestant and Catholic Bishops of the Dioceses' in which the Extreme Distress prevails, 38001. Offered in Bounties b encourage the Importation of Potatoes where required for seed, 12001. Offered 41. 103. per Ton to encourage the Importation of Fifteen Hundred Tons of Potatoes from Scotland, England, and Wales, to be delivered in-the ports nearest to the districts most in want, The Committee have made purchases in Scotland, the River Thames, aid Western Port; of England, of about Fifteen' Hun dred Tons of Potatoes, intended for. Seed ; and have despatched and are despatching them to the several Ports and Harbours of Ireland, from Sligo all round to Bantry. --o-- . With equal pain and regret, the Committet feel obliged to certify to the general community of Great Britain, that they have found the poverty and distress of Ireland, and the great deficiency of the accustomed food of Potatoes of the Southern and. Western Provinces, to be very extended and general, and the suffering of the people extreme and increasing. They an xiously hope that the asistance afforded by the Government, by the Proprietors, or Residents in those Districts, who have,pro perty or rr.ear.s, and by the humane and liberal sympathy of England, has tended, in some degree, to mitigate this great distress and most severe want; but they feel themselves, by their position, obliged publicly to declare, that the evidence they have of their existence, through nearly 1-third of Ireland, containing a population of nearly two millions, is such as to render it indispensable for them to cont i nue to call on thegener ous sympathy of E iglishrnen of all ranks and classes, to con tribute to the mitigation of the extreme distress and misery in Ireland, to which the most general and liberal beneficence can not be wholly efficient from this time to the middle of August next, however nobly and usefully it be suited to assist in the general efforts for m'tigatio i or relief.] The deficiency of the crop of potatoes of the last season, throughout the southern and western provinces of Ireland, and the discovery made, too late, by the peasantry, that of that part of their crop saved and stored a large proportion had perished `in the pits, through the unsoundness of the growth, have toge ther been a principal cause of the present sudden and lament able scarcity of the accustomed foal of the poorer classes of a numerous population. The Committee have every reason to rely on the spontaneous liberality and sympathy of the inhabitants , of Great Britain, to afford their generous aid, in the present calamity of the hour, in a manner to avert the danger of more extended suffering and want.

HOUSE PF LORDS, FRIDAY, MAY 3 Lords LE DESPENCER and COLCHESTER took the Oaths and their Seats. The Earl of HAREWOOD presented a Petition from the Merchants and Manufactureis of Halifax, in Yorkshire, pray. ing for the repeal of th e D ut i es on F ore i gn Wool.—Laid on the table. Mr. SCOURFIELD and others brought up from &Commons the Pembroke Jail Bill.—Read a first time. The Earl. of SHAFTESBURY Presented five Petitions from various Incorporations of Trades at Glasgow against the Catholic Peers' Bill —Laid on the table: • • MANCHESTER PETITION. The Bishop of CHESTER presented a Petition from the Gentry, Merchants, and Clergy of Manchester, against the Catholic Peers Bill. On the question that it be read being put, Lord SUFFIELD stated, that he had received a direct con tradiction to the title which the Petition assumed. It was said to be from tly Gentry. and Merchants, as well as from the Clergy of aanches*; and be' a letter in his hand which instructed him to say; that it came frdvt the Clergy alone, and' that the: was not one of the leading Gentry or Merchants, and only three Inhabitants, of the-frown of Manchester present at the Meeting at which the Petition had been adopted. It Was also .a remarkable fact, that many of the names were in the same hand-writing. He knew not whether the fair sex were allowed the right of petition ;.but it appeared that three Ladies' names had been originally subscribed. Mary Mill, M argaret Robinson, and-Ann Thompson, The female appellatives of Mary, • Margaret, and Ann, had been aft erwar d s crossed,' and the males ones of William, Henry, and 'John, substituted in their stead. It was clear, therefore, th it the petition had been got up in an extraordinary manner, and was not that which it was represented to be. The Bishop of CHESTER said that he received several letters, together with the Petition, which came from the most respectable quarter, and which all concurred in giving to the petition the character which it assumed. After a conversation between Lord km& and the Bishop o. CHESTER, Lord SUFFIELD said that had it not ly...en for the shortneas of the time before the s-cond reading of the Catholic Bill, which then stood fixed for that very day, a Counter-petition would have been set up. The LORD CHANCELLOR then took the petition to ex amine ha signatures, and the House pr?eeeded with other business. Lord ROLLE presented a Patti°, from the Parish of St. John's, Exeter, against the Catholic Pe e r s ' Sill. Lord HOLLAND complained that the Petition described the Bill as 111r.' Canning's Bill which might be considered a breach of the privileges of the other House, as the measure was not that of one individual alone, but of the whole of that House. He did not wish, however, that •the Petition should be rejected on that ground. He wished, on the contrary, to throw open the doors of the -House to Petitions from all sides. The Petition was then laid on the table. • • The Irish Revenue Inquiry Bill was read a third time, and passed. - - - - The Marquis of ANGLESEA presented a Petition from the 'Pcrrough of. Carnarvon, in North Wales, against . the Catholic Bill..—Laid on the table. • . The Duke of BEAUFORT presented Petitions to the same effect, from the Parishes of St. John the Baptist, and St. Mary, Redcliff, in the City of Bristol, and from the Archdeaconry of GlouceSter.--Laid on the table. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a similar Petition from the Dean, Archdeacon, and Clergy of Chichester, and another from 945 inhabitants of Chichester and its vicinity.._ Laid on the table. The LORD CHANCELLOR then stated that he had look ed at the Manchester Petition, and that it was perfectly true that one lady, had signed it, and that besides three female signatures had been crossed and turned into male ones. But what ap peared still more pressingly to demand inquiry %vas' the fact' that many names were in tie sem- hand-writing. It was pro per that their Lordships should bd informA how that had come to pass. • The- Bisl'op of CHESTER said, that it' there was any irregularity in the Petition, it had been entirzly unknown to him. Lord HOLLAND did not object to the signature of an old woman, although he should to the language of an old .woman in any Petition presented to that House, and was disposed to receive that submitted by the Rev. Prelate, notwithstanding all its irregularities. - • The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that if their Lord ships' allowed doubted Petitions to be received without inquiry, they might have some presented as from 70,000 persons, when they were not those of twenty individuals. He did not make the female signature a ground of ob:ection,but,he conceived it necessary to ascertain Why so many names happened to be in the same hand-writing. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE suggested the propriety of deferring the' receiving the Petition, in order b communicate with the persons by whom it had been sent. After a few words from the I3ishop - .of CHESTER, the Peti tion was withdrawn. SALT TAX. - Lord. SUFFIELD wished to inquire of the Noble Earl op posite whether the abolition of 13s. out of the 15s. duty now existing upon salt, would be attended with the abolition of the right of search and of all othcr regulations which had proved so inconvenient to the fiSheries, end had prevent:A their growth and prosperity ? The Earl of. LIVERPOOL replied, that the subject in question was under the consideration of the other House, and that it was not for him o pretend to say how far it might modify its difFerent branches. It was obvious, however, that as a considerable, drawback had been hitherto granted to the fisheries, and as many of the regulation;; which had proved in convenient- to them were connected with that drawback, they must betome no longer necessary when the abolition of the general tax would occasion the drawback to cease. The equalization of the small remaining duty would probably be attended with the removal of all those regulations. Lord SUFFIELD then presented a Petition from the Inha bitatits of the town and county of Nottingham, in favour of the .Bill to prevent cruelty to animals, and another from the parish of St. Matthew, Bristol, praying for the revision of the Cri minal Code.—Laid on the table. Adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. POOR REMOVAL BILL. , .Mr. M. A. TAYLOR presented a Petition from the Over seers of the Poor of St. Martin-in-the-Fields against the Poor Removal Bill. Mr. Lamm' ow presented a similar Petition from the Clergy and Churchwardens of the parish of Gateshead, in the county of Durham ; S and also a Petition from another parish in the same county in favour of the Bill. Mr. BLACKBURNE presented six Petitions from the Churchwardens and Inhabitants of different parishes in the county of Lancaster, against the Poor Removal Bill. The same Hon. Member presented a Petition from the silk-manu facturers of Manchester against the Navigation Bill. Mr. R. SMITH presented a Petition from the Guardians and Overseers of the Poor of the city of Lincoln against the Poor Removal Bill. Mr. WILLIAMS eipressed his regret that his Hon. and Learned Friend (Mr. Scarlett) was not present to hear the Pe titions which were daily pouring in from all parts of the country against his Bill. It appeared to him that these Petitions were peculiarly entitled to attention, inasmuch as they proceeded ge nerally from individuals Who; from the offices which they held, were best able to form a correct.judgment with respect to th e measure which they opposed.—(Hear.)—Without intending to, anticipate the discussion upon the subject, he must be allowed to observe, that if his Honourable and Learned Friend were dot suffocated by the mass of Petitions which bad been presented against his Bill, he must have more life in him than any man he ever knew.--(A laugh.) Petitioni against the above Bill were then presented from the Corporation of Leicester, by Mr. MANSFIELD ; from IVlaccles field in the.county of Chester, by M r . D AVENPORT ; f r o m' Wolverhampton, by Mr. LITTLETON; from the Corporation of Liverpool, by General GascoYNE ; from the parishes of St. Sepulchre and St. Peter, in the town of Northampton, by Capt. MABEnLY ; from two other parishes in the same town, by Sir G. RioniNsoN ; and front Manchester and S a lfo r d, by Lord STANLEY. Mr. DICKINSON presented apetition from certain silk-ma nufacturers in the west of England, against the Navigation Bill. Admiral SOTHERON presented a petition from the Churchwardens of Bullwell, in the County of Nottingha.:n, against the Poor Removal - Bill. Colonel SKEE'FINGTON presented a petition from certain Land-owners in and near Dundalk, in Ireland, praying for the imposition of additional duties an imported butter and cheese. Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a petition from the inha bitants of Nottingham; in favour of the.lllll for preventing the infliction of cruelty on animals. Mr. BYNO presented a petition from the Churchwardens and Inhabitants of Whitechapel, against the Poor Removal Bill. The Caine Honourable Member presented a petition from certain Brewers of Twickenham, anti a similar one from certain publicans of the same place. Mr. BIRCH presented a petition from the Overseers of the Poor of the-parish of St. Peter, Nottingham, against the Poor Removal Bill. The Hon. Member - expressed a hope, that as the feeling of the country • was decidedly declared against the Bill, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman who was its author would not proceed any farther with it.—(Cries of " Bear.") Mr. CO I.JRTENA I/ presented a pimilar petition to the above from the Churchwardens of the City of Exeter. Mr. COURTENA Y next presented a petition from certain Tanners and Currier 3 of the County of Devon, praying that • the partial repeal of th e L eat he r Tax proposedby Ministers might not be carried into effect, on the ground that such a pro ceeding would only - aurr; nent.the profits of large-Capitalists, without affording any benefit to the - public at large, Mr. BEAUMONT opposed the prayer of the petition. EXTENTS IN AID. :Mr. LITTLETON desired to know whether it was the in tention of the Attorney-General to bring forward any measure for amending the laws relative to extents in aid. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL - replied, in a low tone of voice, as we understood, that he was prep ar i ng to su b m i t a plan of the natu re a ll u d e d to by the-lion. Member to the con sideration of the Court of Exchequer. Sir C. COLE present d a petition from_ the inhabitants of 'Swansea, against the' poor removal Bill. The - Marquis of TIT • HFIELD presented a similar peti tion from King's Lynn, in the county of Norfolk. • A petition of a like kind was alto presented by Mr. CAL• VERT, from the Overseers of the Poor of St. George the Martyr, Southwark. The Martluis of TITCHFIELD presented a petition from the Ship-owners of King's Lynn, in Norfolk, against the Na vigation Bill. _ _ i POOR REMOVAL BILL. Mr. S. WORTLE Y presented 12 petitions from different parts of the county of York. against the Poor Removal Bill. Mr. SCAR Lai'fil wished, if possible, to spare the country the expense of printing some of the petitions. He was far from desiring to press any measure against the sense of the House, or of the country; but he would just read a few passages from a letter which h 6 had received on the subject of his measure ; and the House might then be enabled to judge of the motives which in some places led to the opposition of it. The Hon. and Learned Member then read an extract from the letter to which he referred. It requested him to withdraw his clause for preventing the removal of the poor, upon the ground that it would press hard upon the practice of Attornies and young Barristers—persons who were entitled to the.consideration` and protection of Government. - Mr. MONCK believed that the legal gentlemen were need lessly alarmed. The Bill would rather add to their practice than diminish it. Sir N. W. RIDLEY presented four Petitions from different parishes of Newcastle...upon-Tyne, against the Poor Removal Bill. He begged to assure the Honourable and Learned Gen tleman before him (ijr. Scarlet* that the Petitions which he was presenting had not originated in the advice of any profes sional gentleman whatever. • Mr. CHET WYNDE presented a Petition froin the city of 'Worcester, against the Poor Removal Bill. Also a Petition to a similar effect from the parish of St. John the Evangelist, Westmins:.er. CORN. LAWS. Sir THOMAS LEl4l3RlUGEpresented a Petition from the county of Cornwall, i.-gainst the Bill now pending in the House for regulating the imp tation of ecrn. LEA'! k iiR TAX. Mr. BEAUMONT presented a Petition from the Tanners of Dexliam, in Northumberland, praying for the repeal of the Leather Tax. Mr. CH ET WYNDE, in presenting a similar Petition from the - Tanners of Staffordshire, declared that he did not look to the repeal of any particular tax for the restoration of ease and prosperity to the, country. In fact, the question of agricultu ral distress: as coining very fast to a question between land lord at d tenant : the true source of the evil was the heavy rent; and that rent must be abated —not, ten or fifteen per cent., but seriously and etfecively reduced, before any really beneficial change could be expected. With respect to the poor rates, which formed the next burden complained of, they were al ready in a course of diminution, and, under the operation of the Bill proposed by the ion. and. Learned Member opposite, the law of settlement would be simplified, •and the general ex pence of management gradually lessened. WA REHOUSI NG SYSTEM. Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE presented a Petition from the bilk Manufacturers of Taunton, in Somersetshire, praying that the Bill for permitting foreign silks to be warehoused in England might not pass into a law. The lion. Baronet at the same time postponed his motion on the subject of taxation to Tuesday, the Ilth June. BANK OF ENGLAND. Mr. OR ENFELL. in presenting a Petition of considerable importance, lamented that he had not the pleasure of seeing his Majesty's Ministers in their places. The Petition proceeded from several respectable individuals in the county of Berks, and it refined to dnegociation said to be pending between Go vernment and the Bank of England, for the renewal of. the Bank Charter, or as a Noble Marquis whom he (Mr. Gren fell) did not then see in the House,hadcalled it, the Bank Mo ncipoly. To the extension of that monopoly, which, under the extstingArrangements, would expire in the year 1833, he (Mr. Grenfell) had the strongest objection ; and the Petitioners -for whom he appeared were of the same way of thinking; but they objected more strongly to the relaxing of the restrictive law as to the number of partners engaged in country banks— to the relaxing of that law in places mom than 65 miles from London, and continuing it in places-within that limit. Now, whenever the measure for renewing the Bank Charter came be , fore the House, he (Mr. Grenfell). should feel it his. duty to oppose the renewal, and, at , the earliest possible moment, to take the sense of Parliament upon it. Indeed, after the expe rience which both the House and the country had had Of the conduct of the Bank during the last twenty, years—after their, immense profits, amounting in twenty-five years (after the pay ment of 7 per cent. dividend) to more than 25,000,0001—after their tyrannous conduct towards Government and towards the public, exemplified by their letters to Committees of the House of 'Commons in the year: 1819, at a time when they were clear ing such enormous sums by.their contracts with the country, and by the circulation of their paper—after these. warnings, it was amazing that any Ministers could be sa unwise, upon any terms, 23 to propose, or even to co nsent to , a renewa l o f t h e Bank Charter. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by-observing, that he had heard, out of doors, that.the negociation was at an end ; if it were not so, and if the measure were brought for ward, he should certainly oppose it in every stage. Mr. MANNING defended the conduct of the Bank, and treated the charge of tyranny as invidi ous and unfounded.— He also denied that the profits of the Bank were unreasonable, referring to the very large additions the Royal Exchange In surance Company had made to their capital in consequence of their great profits during the war. The greater part of what fell from the Hon. Gentleman was inaudable. Mr. DUNDAS bore testimony to the respectability of the Petitioners. The Marquis of LONDONDEPR.Y did not oppose the bringing up of the petition, but he could not help thinking and stating that this was by no means a natural moment for dis cussing the large question it involved. It seemed to him that the Honourable Gentleman w h o presented it had entered into a wider field than was at all necessary or expedient : he might at least have deferred his remarks until the Chancellor of the Exchequer brought the question regularly under discus sion. At the same time the attack m a d e by t h e -H onoura bl e Gentleman (Mr. Grenfell) had fully warranted his.Honourable Friend (Mr. Manning) in the reply he had given. He trusted that the subject of public credit would not be debated, but upon a regular motion. Arr. RICARDO did not complain of the Bank directors for making the concern as profitable as possible—he complained of Ministers for having made such improvident bargains with the Bank, as to enable that establishment to m.ke those enorm ous profits.—(Blear, hear f)—fie should oppose to the utmost the renewal of the lank Charter, because he was satisfied that every farthing made by tho Bank ought belong to the pub lie.—(flear, heart}—Even if a paper currency were wanted, . . M n'sters co u ld accomp li s h t h e object,rriore alvantageously -for- the public without than with t4e aasistande of the Back of England: Mr. PEA RSE said that the Hon. Member (Mr. Grenfell) . had studiou s ly soug h t every oecas4on for:'attacking the Bank, and in the course oP every month or six'weeks . he had•contriv e d to find som e opp ortun i ty f or renewing -his ..ftbrts. He (Mr. Pears::) denied that the Bank of England posse sal any such species of moaopoly as warranted the remarks of the Hon. Gen tleman, who knew that the term was °Jou* and, howev.a. in , applicable, had therefore adopted it: Mr. MONCK contended that the Rank had a monopoly in effect, if not ia fact; and that th e w h o l e property o f exiiting country banks must be destroyed if the measure to which the I , e-liti.s . n=refete. : carried into a law; they could not com pete with the favoureZtliartered companies.. With regard to the bargains hetwt-en Government - and the Bank of Eng'and, he thought that they were just upon- the terms of a spendthrift and a usurer, the forme: being obliged to .consent to any thing that the latter required.—(llear.), Sir C. • BURREI.I, state some grounds on which he thought that the county of Sussex ought to be excepted from the Bill; after which-the petition was brought up, read, laid upon the table, and ordered to be printed. tt suss from the bankers of Windsor, Reading, Henley, Marlow, and Maid enhmd. Mr. GRENFELL took occasion to remark. that the profits of the Royal Exchange Company had nothing to do With this question, unless it could be shown that, like the Bank of Eng land, those profits had been made out of bargains with Govern ment.—(Hear.)--Sir T. Baring in his pampalet had said, that the Bank was like the sun in the hemisphere; and true it was, " two suns move n o t i n one sp h ere • if there had been two suns, two banks, millions of millions of money might have been saved to the public, and the currency would have been in a much better state than at present. SOUTH AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE. Mr. LE NNARD, with reference to what had passed on a for mer night when the Hon. Member for Coventry (Mr. Ellice) put a question to Lord Londonderry regarding the recognition by this Government of the independence of South America, observed that the Noble Marquis, in his answer, had referred to a clause in the Navigation Bill, which was this night to be discussed. He (Mr Leonard) saw that. the hill 'col:alined a section relative to the importation of goods into this kingdom from certain States of South America, and he . wished. to know whether it was to that the Noble Marquis had alluded—whe ther it was the intention of Ministers to submit to the House any further information on the subject--and whether they would refuse to produce such communications as had taken place, if they were moved for ? The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, he had no further communication to make cn the subject. Mr. LENNARD than laid upon the table a Petition from. 700 of the principal inhabitants of Ipswich against the Poor Removal Bill. Mr. MONCK laid upon the table a Petition from the Brew ers of Reading against the Licensing Bill. Mr. WA RRE laid upon the table a Petition from the Own ers of Silk Mills at Taunton, against the Navigation Bill. Sir T. ACLAND l a id upon the. table a Petition from Plymouth against the Poor Removal Bill, and another from the Tanners of Tiverton against taking off the whole-of the Duty on Leather. Lord G. CAVENDISH laid upon the table two Petitions from Duffield and Belper against the Poor Removal Bill. EAST INDIA TRADE. Mr. CANNING, on presenting a Petition from the Mer chants of Liverpool concerned in the Trade to the East Indies, praying a remov a l of th e restr i ct i ons regar di ng the Tonnage of Shipping and the opening of the Trade to China, and that as he understood it was in the contemplation of Government to concede some part of the prayer of the Petition, he should re serve his remarks until a future opportunity. • Mr. %V. WY NN observed, that there.was an existing com pact between the public and the East India Company under the charter of 1812, and that Government had no disnosit'on to en croach upon its stipulations : the Company had, however, con sidered the subject. _and thare wa reason to believe that that body was Willing fo concede an important point, and to allow the private trade to the East Indies to be Carried on in shipping of less that: 350 tons burden. He should move for a Commit tee on the subject on Monday. General (;ASCOYNE wished to know whether the East India Company would consent to open the trade to China ? Mr. W. W a'NN answered, that the Company was not will ing to make an alteration in that respect in the charter. The petition was laid upon the table, and it was ordered lo be printed. Mr. CANNING added, that 'when 10 years ago the charter of the East India Company was under discussion, he had pro posed an amendment, giving- fhat ' establishment the trade. to China for ten years. If that proposition had been carried, it might have saved a great deal of, trouble: A matters stood, he felt bound to say that the existing compact was binding. Mr. H. G. BEN NET remarked, that COvernm4nt onlywas to blame for the situation in which the quesaOhnow stoat. SUGAR TRADE% Mr..CANNING presented a petition fram•ahe West India Merchants of Liverpool, in which they set forth that there was a very great glut of West India sugar in the Market, and that the difficulty of procuring purchasers for• it would be greatly increased if the relief which it was contemplated to afford to the Manufacturers of East India sugar were sanctioned by the House. The petitioners, thetefore, prayed that the duty, which in 1813 was placed on East India sugai, with a view to the protection of that which was the produce cf the West Indies, and which was about to expi re , m i g h t 1* cont i nue d . Mr:BROUGHAM said, it was very justly stated in the. Pe tition, that one part of th e p ressu i e which • bore on the West India planter arose from his not being able to export thearticle of sugar at a cheap rate to foreign - -countries.- Now the great mason which occasioned this want of a market abroad was the not diminishing, indeed he might say,- the greatly increasing foreign slave-trade. It had always beets the opinion of those who advocated the abolition of the slave-trade, that it was a measure of justice and not of policy. They argued, that be cause it was just, it ought to be conceded. although in many respects it was injurious to the interests of the country. lie thought differently. It appeared to him, oh an enlarged view of the policy of this country, that the measure was expedient as well as' just. Many, bowever, thought-that it was a, sacrifice of national and commercial interest to the strict and paramount interests of justice and humanity. With respect to the foreign slave-trade, he held the same doctrines which he maintained ' with reference to the slave trade of this' country ; and there fore he was of opinion that th e y o u g ht to Most wah their allies, .as. far as was in their power, in' order to ob,aiu their concurrence in effecting the great measure -of abolition.— First of all, and chiefly, became, without any view to selfish interest,.but merely_ with reference to a principle of justice, they had made this sacrifice in their own case, had they aright to demand it of others • but, beyond that, he could not - help saying, that the Wesandia. planter suffered a very great'pre.:: sure from the extent of the foreign slave trade: Ile begged leave , to draw theattention of the house to information which he was sore) , to say he had received on this subject- He under-totted that some of our own merchants were indirectly, he would Nit hope innocently and. ignorantly, making themselves partite, and substantial parties, to the keeping up of- this foreign trade. The thing was done in this way : the merchants fiaed out ves sels in English ports, which they loaded with - goo:It, the pro duce of this country, for the African manse;. L was, a: present, known to be a losing itaarket ; but, notwithstanding that, a very large traffic was carr i e d on un d er t h e name of the lawful.ommerce of that country, for geld and other articles allowed to be imported from thence. Very little• commute could, however, be carried on with Africa, in the state in which that country was at present; and it was perfectly known that there was very little demand for our manufactures in the in nocent trade of that country. It Was, therefore, utterly inpoz sible that any thing like the capital he alluded to could be em. barked in that traffic alone; and, therefore it /nun be employed in the slave-trade. He did not mean to say that - these wno fit ted out the vessels, and who traded in the articles he had men tioned, did directly traffic for slaves; but their proceedings were made subservient to that. traffic. They met, otT dif ferent ports, the traders from the ' , French and Portuguese colonies, who carried on this guilty traffic ; they then ex. changed at once, • for dollars or bills, the greater pat of their merchandize, very little of which reached the remotest eta- rican market. The great bulk ache merchandise was sent to Af. rica, through the slave-dealers, fur the purchase of slaves; and the produce of the cargoes Was carried to Cuba, the Brazils, cr some of the French islands. •He had, in consequence of :hie information, looked into the Acts of Parliament, to see whe ther this traffic was cognizable by the existing law. It certain ly was not cognizable under the Act which declared the trade to be felonious : neither did he think it came raider the 47th of the late King ; but be had considerable doubt whether it wait Pea' Dart °ugh !, 13a- ,ches. ;shot. yes at ; is a erseV, I COI)! e nced with Mcn- eve ry ev'e'ry
