Our attempts to that effe& would only tend tO throVv it-into. the hands of other nations; Who might aggia: vate the miseries we now lament. - , • The.BISHOP of LOlVDONargiied in favour.of the Resolutions, and urged that the' trade,Was not only incompatible with -the 'dictates of justice; manity, and policy, but also with every principle of the Christian-religion. • The LORD CHANCELLOR had opportunities .of witnessing• all the cruelties and atrocities which disgraced that. trade ; and as •men more forcibly felt what they themselves had .seen, so his sense and ab.: horrence of the Slave Trade was -perhaps more strong, and lively than whet Most of their Lordships might :feel-upon a subject which had never met their eyes'. He felt therefore more bound than most of their Lordships; not only from that circumstance, but from many others which came under his considera: ,lion in the. administration of justice, to hold such a traffic in detestation, and consequently to vote. for any measure that tended to put a termination t 6 its horrors. Lord IVEST4IORLAIV.I3 went into history both sacred and Oofane, to prove that the Slave Trade was neither unjust or inhuman ; but though it were; did it'follow that it was'impplitic? _ _ _ The Bishop of St. ASAPH 'contended, -that all histOry, both sacred and profane, condemned the trade, and reprobated it. as contrary to justice ) hu manity, and religion. Lord HOLLAND defended the propriety of the Resolutions in a very, argutneritative and animated speech ; as did likewise Lords Grosvenor, Spencer, and Ellenborough. Lord I , 7TZIPILLIAM felt rather alarmed at the consequences the Resolutions might produce, but 'could 'not help feelingdisposed,to support them. Lord $1011.100 7 1 - 1: rather Wished to r see the abolition of the _trade first begin in' he toy India Islands. He was ready to admit it wat inhumah and unjust ; but, from the long consideration which he had bestowed upon, this important question, he was led to think, that it was not adviseable to record the ResolutionS on the, JOurnals until some means had been devised of pat* them into execution. Lord GRENVILLE did nut feel;it necessary to. trouble the House with any reply, but tobk occasion to observe, that he should this night. make another Motion for an Address to His Majesty, praying he would be graciously pleased to consult with other Powers , towards the accomplishment of the ,same end, which would afford another opportunity- to those who were anxious again to -divide upon this favourite question. The House then divided on the question of con curring in the ResOlutions, when there appeared, Contents 4 t---Non-Contents 20.--Majority for Mi nisters,.2l.

On the House being resumed, the Report was ordered to be-re ceive% to-morrow. Mr. VANSITT4RT moved, that the Post-Office A&s relative to Postage for the Carriage of Letters be read. The Akts were entered as read, and it `was ordered that the House should to;tnorrow - re soWe itself into a Committee of the whole House to consider said A&s.

Lord G4ENVILLE brought down a Message from His Majesty, proposing some more effeaual,provi sign for the Seamen employed in His Majesty's Fleet, and offering part. Of .the Prize Money arising from recent captures towards supplying a Fund to that 'effect. ' The Message concluded with desiring the House to concur with His 'Majesty towards the ac complishment. of that - important obje&., '" LOrd GREI43;ILLE then rose;, and after- paying a due tribute of praise to' the courage and inextinguish able zeal of our brave'Seamen, and to the generous Offer- of His Majesty to concur in 'remunerating them,concluded-with moving an Address to His Ma jesty, assuring His Majesty .that ,the. House was disposed to concur with'alacrity in the iMportant ob ject" pointed out by 'His Maje Sty.--tile Motion was agreed to w_77l. clissentientc: . The Earl of WA Rw icx. rose to make some ob servations respeding a. system of taxation which he had'proposed to the late Administration. The more be:cOnsidered that Sytein, the more he was con vinced of its efficacy. tinder that convldion he had also davered it 'in . to . His Mtkjesty's present Mini sters.' • But he did not perceive that they were dis posed to act - upon it. Shbuld he, .however, tail to 'receive any Communication frum. them respecting - their ideas of the proposed'plan, he-Sbould deetn it his to stibMit, it to Lordships', con.sidera ti t - SLAVE TRADE. Lord TVESTIIIOIILiVD, after referring to the PetitiOns which he had presented against the Reso lutiOns intended to. be proposed - respee)ing the--Abo lition of the Slave Trade; declared it to be his opinion that the parties whom these ResolutiOns might af feet should be heard, by, their Counsel at the Bar previous to the Resolutions being proposed. Lord GRENVILLE did not conceive this to be the moment for entering into the examination of evidence. When the Petitions were.first presented, it was competent then for the Noble Earl to move that Counsel be heard; but as that opportunity had not then been taken . to make the Motion, he could not alldw that, such qUestion .be now started; and Mixed with the question fixed for this day's diScus sion. .He should therefore move the Order of the Day for taking into consideration the Resolutions upon this-subjed communicated by' the Commons, and leave it open for any Noble Lord to make what objedions,to it he should deem proper. - Lord WESTMORLAND thought the ResolutiOns affeCted such weighty and - Various interests, that !it was .but justice. the parties should be heard by -their Counsel. . He should not, however, press any Motion upon. the-subjeCt: • • - Lord GRENVILLE then rose. to explain the r nature of the .ReSolutions- which the other. House of Parliament had come to, respecting the Abolition of itte•Sla've.Trade,..arid which they bad corninunica- I led to their. Lordships'_House tbr their concurrence 1 and, acquiescence. The Resolutions stated, that the • ,Slave 'lracle Ans, unjust, inhuman;anu flc - I,the inference from these premises was,. that the Slave Trade.should be..abolished, in such manner, 'and at such period,. as Parliament should deem ad , xiseable. The premises -- stood in no need of proof, -and What proofs might be' advanced in support of :them could.now. buve but little novelty; neither Aid. they pledge their LOrdships to any new deter lnination. -:Could that thing be just which-deprived men: of their best rights, Without any right at all on .ithe.part of thoie who disquieted them ..to interfere . • with ; or annoy them iii any sort ?. Such, however, • were our in tm rterencer.od annoyance of the in habitants .of the coast of Africa. Could that thing be humane , Which .tended to tear asunder all the bonds, by which the societies of men. were held together ; which violated all the dearest charities-of Littman life ; which --(tore children from their parents, brothers from sis ters, husbands from wives ; and which, by forcing men frcim their native homes, tore them away-from every thing which they held valuable and dear'? If,- therefore (as no man would venture to deny), the. .SlaVe Trade, was evidently unjust and inhuman, would it not be a waste of their Lordships' time, and ;an. insult to their und4stituding, to enter upon any proofs, to show it was impolitic ? If, therefore, it must be,confessed that suck a traffic was unjust, in, and impolitic, was not the conclusion ob vious, a conclusion- to which their Lordships' minds and :hearts must unavoidably yield, that such a traffic , should be put an, end to, as soon'as possible ? His i Lordship, after enforcing all these topies•at great ' length, and in a manner the most eloquent and-con ..vincing, concluded with moving, that the House do concur in the. Resolutions agreed to, and communi cated by the Commons. • . Lord HA WIC.EOB - OR Y could not entirely . agree to the inference drawn by the 'Noble Baron from the arguments he had advanced. The general tenor of the Noble Baron's arguments went against the exist ence of slavery in general, as much as against the slave. He was ready to admit the abstrad position, that slavery was an evil compared with the situation of those where Slavery. did not exist ; as he should also ,egfee, that despotism was bad with reference to the Countries that enjoyed civil and political free dom. But did it follow from thence, that any Re. :solution of Parliament could suppress slavery and annihilate despOtism ? The same might be said respeat to the -Slave Trade ; it had existed since the earliest periods of the world; we were . not the authors of it neither could we:abolish it. BANKRUPT LAWS. Mr.SOLICITOR-GENERAL gave notice-of a Motion on Thursday next, for leave' to bring in a Bill to. amend the Bankrupt Laws, with a view to remedy the. injustice that often arises frotn the commission of secret Aels of Bankruptcy, and to enable Deb tors who may discharge their debts without a know ledge of the circumstances of such Bankrupt, to prove such payment, and to have the benefit of it. HIS MAJESTY:s MESSAGE . WITH RESPECT TO GREENWICH HOSPITAL AND CHEST. Lord, klowtoK moved the. Order at the Day for a PRICE SI u Elilci • . Committee of the whole House to consider of Hifi majesty's Most Gracioui Message, relative to an Increated -PkoVision fOk Greenwich Hospital and Chest The HodSe having - resolved into the COmMittee, Mr. ALEXANDER in the : Chair:, . • Lord HO WICK; in submitting the Motion which it was hii duty to make, to the consideration of- the Conimittee, felt confident that no obje&ion N l / 2 rould be thade either to the object of that Motion or to die, mode in which it Was proposed. to provide fin: that object. The-Object was, to make an adequate provision for aged, wounded, and disabled Seamen, who were no longer able to bear the fatigues of waive 'employment, or continue their exertions in the pub- - tic service. Gentlemen were already acquaintedi -by the Papers on the Table, with the provision at present . enjoyed_ by these persons, with the aug inentation now proposed to be made to . that provi- - gidn, and with the receipt and expenditure both of Greenwich Hospital and the Chest at Greenwich'. The-ftaids of the Chest were appropriated to the :relief of- seamen wounded, in the service;, in differ ent proportions, accorellk too-the nature and magni hide -Of the injury sustained. The Hospital fund; provided not only for wounded seamen, but for those Who, by age or_ infirmity-are incapable, of set . - .Vice; The object of his Motion was to increase the funds o f both these institutions. The Qut-pension est of Greenwich Hospital'rece iY an allowance of seven penis& a;;year, which had never been increas ed since the first establishMent in 1663 . ;. and *heti the amount. of this allowance, the objett it -was en gaged in, and thedetfreciation of money since it • was fixed at that - amount, should be taken . into con sideration,.he was confident that Gentlemen would hot think it an improvident expenditure of public inone?*.to augment it. The present revenue of the Hospital was 126,8111: the expenditure I 14,5441. Which left'a surplus or receipt Over the expenditure - of 12,2671,' The increase to the.Out-fiensioners was to be varied, according, to the circumstances of the ease, from the present allOwance of 71. per ann. which was to be continued to those slightly wound ed, to- is. per day, or 'lBl. ss. per ann. the highest allowance proposed to be granted. The alloWance was proposed to be regulated, by the Lords of the Admiralty ? whose duty it was to examine the men previous to their being placed on the list; and he was confident no abuse of the confidence thus invested in them was to be apprehended: It was calculated - the increase which would thus accrue above the present expenditure of the Hospital would .amount to about 17,0001. annually, It was proposed to meet this increase by a fund to which he trusted there 'would be no opposition. For this purpose it was, proposed that 51. per cent should beappropriated out of all prizes that should hereafter accrue ; and in addition to this his Majesty, with that benevolence which had over oharaelori hi: Rival condud, and lartieularly with respe6t to the objects of this pro vision,,had signified that a similar Grant should be made out of all droits of -Admiralty. The present amount of the value of prizes annually calculated on the portion forfeited to the Chest, - which was about 1-20th, Was about 1,200;0001:' but he took it at one million, and the deduction: in the manner he propos ed would afford a suns of nearly 17,0001, which would _still leave some surplus. Gentlemen would be aware- the Fund. now proposed was to exist only during the war, and that.a considerable defalcation would take place it the conclusion of-peace.- But if the revenues of-the Hospital should by that event decrease, they had the consolation to" k now the, ex penditure.would also, decrease. There had been an increase 440001: per ann. lately on their land estates :and a similar increase was expeEted on many farms that were to fall in within 4or 5 years. These addi tions to the Funds would leave a deficiency 'of so trbling a nature, that he 'was sure it would be no ob jeCt to the public. The present resources were' suili-. cient.to cover-the increased expenditure, and he was - confident Parliament would not hesitate to make . good any deficiency that might hereafter take place. This was all he had to say respecting the Hospital. As to the Chest, that institution , had 'originated in 1596, though it was not established regularly till the filloWing year. It was first instituted at Chatham, and was removed to Greenwich in the year I MM.—. The Funds of - this institution were exclusively de voted to the relief of wounded and disabled seamen. The allowance for total loss of sight was 121. .per ann. for the loss of one eye 61. It was now proposed that the allowance for loss of eye or limb should be 121. and the loss of an arras 81. - The Committee' would perceive that it was not necessary for him to state the various items of increase ; the whole would amount to about 17,0001. above -the pre- - sent amount of allowance. 'The present expen diture of the Chest calculating the dut-pensiOn on - what was due and payable this year was 48,2681. the receipt bt last year 63/2821. But as a consider able addition had arisen Irons the number of ships - paid off within that period, he should take the in- , come at 55,0001. which afforded a surplus of 70001: and would leave a deficit of about to;opol. which was , to be provided out of the proposed Grant from the droits of Admiralty. But here also there would be a deficiency in time of peace, and he was con- . vinced that no objection would be felt against 'pro viding for this deficit whenever it should arise. As to the Hospital Department, he should mention, :that it was proposed to make a provision for a cer tain number of Post Captains, Masters, and Com manders, and other Officers, who might be disabled • 'in the service, so as to be rendered incapable of the duties of their profession. As he perceived that there was no obje6tion likely to be made to any part of the arrangement; it was unnecessary for him to take up more of the time of the Committee, and he should therefore only add, that in his opinion this provision was not so much an 'a&, of liberality or generosity, as of justice on the part of that House The Noble Lord concluded. by moving " that it is the- opinion of this -Cothmittee - that the suns of
