It was therein stated, that in a settlement, com prising a circumference of 2000 'miles,. and a breadth of several hundreds, it was necessary to circumscribe and _repress a superabundant popu lation—that when this-was effectel by the removal 'of a certain number of the natives, and the stibse. 7 . qUent introduction 'of proper occupations for the comfort -of the rem a i n d er , t h e expatr i at i on wou ld then be found unnecessary. - Sweden, Deinuark, rind America, bad also abolished it f 'and it only remained by an united act - t 6 give full effect to . what was the individual wish 'of each Potentate, . and to consummate, by a glorious termination, the heroini.of their antecedent achievements.— _ Mr. Wilberforte concluded an eloquent - speech by referring to the great authorities of Mr. Pitt and :Pox, who pronounced the Slave Trade as the greatest practical evil which the human race had evu r endured, .and by proposing that— " bumble - Address he presented to the Prince Regent, stating, that the Muse, relying- with confidence-upon the so-' leran meas - ures of 1836 and ,1;31-0, for the imenediate abolition, of the Slave Trade, by calling the attention of the Powers of - Europe to a co-operation for that p' pose, felt authorised in boiiiug that the present occasion would be seized, of tising the • weight and influence of Great Britain . with the Allies in se curing, by a coninwn concurrence, strileSirable an object.' - The ;IIANCELLOR of the EXCITEQUER rose.to, , second the motion, and expressed his cordial coil currenee in every sentiment which had been ut tered by his eloquent Friend. Mr. PoNsoNny warmly united in the expression of his approbation with the lion.

Mr. PR OTIIEROE followed on the same side. ,Mr. MARRYATT, as a West India merchant, cordially united in his hope that the co-operation of Europe would finally close the history of the Slave Trade..---:(1Icar, hear !) - Mr. Joii SmiTH coneurred in every opinion which he heard in the debate. • Mr. WHITBREAD thought one -view alone re mained, untouched in the gratifying concurrence hich the House then presented.

Mr. BLAKE brought in a Bill to amend and ex plain the 33d of his _Majesty, sit as to do away any_ .double with respect to Catholics being, with Protestants, entitled to avail theniselves its provisions. Mr. PEELE said,-heshould not oppose the first .reading of, the:Bill, but it _should certainly exp.e rience his resistance bra future stage ; the Bill to give to the Catholic inhabitants of the town of Galway a right of voting, to which the Pro testant inhabitants were entitled by law. If this Bill merely proposed to enforce the principles of the Act of 1793, he- should not oppose it, but this Bill proposed to do a great deal nkore : it. proposed to give to . sho Rotinm Catholics of Galway privi : le`ges of amore .extensive nature than .were-en joyed by the Roman Catholits of - any other Part of Ireland. The Protestants of Galway had cer tain privilege;" with respect to voting ; bitt that did not ; by any means, appear to him a sufficient Ha wn for giving to every Roman Catholic carrying -on nay trade or business In Galway a right of voting, tin& thereby giving them an advantage ov'r other Roman Catholics.
