Washington. *0th March 1807—The
>4kws. that were passed du<ing the last stssi
-«?p CT Congress, have no! as yet been primed.
Bdt there were only two that were particu.
larly connected with his Majesty’s interest ;
the abolition ot the Slave Trade, from the
1st of Jan. 1808, and the Act—
, Cofiy of a deafwtck from Mr. Secretary
Canning, to Cord Viacour.t Sirangford
Foreicn Office, 15 «i April 1807.
My Leuo,
After the solemn and final decision of
the Legislature of this kingdom, with res
pect to the abolition ot the Slave Trade, in
as far as his majesty’s subjects have been
engaged therein ; it is extremely desirable
that the principles of justice and humanity,
by which the king and his Parliament have
been actuated on deciding in this important
measure, should not be thwarted nor frus
trated by the pertinacity of other powers,
in allowing their subjects to continue this
vlisgraceful traffic. By the concurrence of
a majority of the principal maritime nati
ons of Europe, it has been prohibited, and
bit Majesty cannot entertain the suspicion,
that taking the advantage ot the legislative
exclusion of British subjects from this trade,
the subjects of Portugal will be encouraged
fn the prosecution, much more in the ex
tension of it by the countenance or ptotec
tion of their government.
* I have theiefnre to signify to your Lotd
ahip his Majesty’s pleasure that you omit no
opportunity to represent to the Portuguese
Ministers, the general benefit that would re
Suit from the accession of the government of
jPoitugal, to the fullest extent ot the mea
an res which the British Legislature, after
the most patient and laborious investigation,
bas finally determined to adopt, on a ques
tion which has so long interested 8c agi ated
the public mind in this and in every other
siviliztd country. .
It, however, from any contracted, and (as
there is no doubt it will prove to lie) iniya
ken policy, the Portuguese government
•houtri persist in allowing their subjects to
prosecute this traffic, ins Majesty has an
undoubted r;ght to require that their com
mercial operations should be confined to the
territories in Africa, which ti e Portuguese
traders have hitherto been accustomed to
frequent, and should not be extended to the
tract of coast which his majesty has deter
mined to abandon, and to leave to the un.
disturbed possession of its native inhabi
tants.
I am, 8cc.

My Lord,
The Portuguese settlement of Bis
sau, on the western coast of Africa, is in the
midst ofia territory in which the slave trade
is now nearly disused; and from its situati
on, interrupts the progress of the endeavors '
which has been made of laic years ta afford
to, at least, a considerable portion of the coast
cf that continent, a chance of improvement
and repose.
» If your Lordship should see no immediate
prospect of being able to obtain the assent
pf the Portuguese government to the princi
ple, which, by my other despatch on the
ISlave Trade, you are directed to inculcaie ; j
your Lordship will endeavor to persuade-the
Portuguese government, even it in other I
places the Slave Traffic shall still continue,!
to abandon the traffic in slaves at this par_|
ticular settlement (retaining whatever other ‘
commerce may belt-tig to it) and to ascer
tain whether on any, and what conditions,'
flie Portuguese government might be indu-1
•ed to cede it to his majesty.
I am, &c.

%'opy of a despatch from Mr Secretary
Canning, to Lord discount Strangford.
Foreign Office, April 17, 1808.
My Lord,
Your Lordship was instructed by
Oie, during the last year of your residence at
Lisbon, to make earnest representations to
the Portuguese government on the subject of
the African Slave Trade.
I stated on that occasion to your lordship,
the grobndson which it appeared to the Bri
tish government to be no lt*s for the inte
rest than for the honor of Portugal, that she
ahould not continue to maintain a traffic as
unjustifiable as impolitic ; productive at
once of so much misery to the Country from
■which the supply ot slaves is diawn, and of
so much insecurity to those into which they
are imported.
If these considerations were pressed ufion
the attention of the Portuguese government,
at a time when its South American posses,
sions werp only secondary objects of its so.
licitude, their importance is increased ten
fold, now that Brazil is become the seat of
the monarchy, and when therefore to aug
*i ent and sue'igtlien the population of that
country, is a concern of theihost vital neccs
si'.y.
A continued importation of negroes, capa
blr neither of being incorporated into the
clans i f the community, nor of imbibing any
n»*n men ol arischment for the Prince, must
c ntribu e to weaken the general p .wer of
rr>i- once against an enemy, to multiply the
Sources of intern 1 danger, and to cheek : S.r
progi ess of n valuable improvement, & tbi
growth oi a native population.
fin the other ha»d, that article of pro.
diuce t« which the labor of slaves Is for the
mc9t part applied, and which it "will pro
bably be contended by the Portuguese gov
ernment, is not to be raised by the exerti
ons of any other description of laborers, is
unquestionably that, from the cultivation of
which, the Brazilian Empire is likely to de
rive the least part of its permanent prospe
rity, and of which e\en the immediate pro
fit in the present state df the world, scarce
ly repays the cost of its production.
With respect to cotton, though raised by
the same mean? at present, there is nothing
in the nature of its culture that should ren
der the labor of the Africans peculiarly ap
plicable to it.
But whatever be the motives of immedi
ate convenience, or the force of existing ha
bits, the immense interest which the Prince
Regent lias at stake in the permanent pros
perity of his country, will, it is hoped, over
balance mere temporary coi siderationsy. and
lead his royal highness to take steps at least
for the gradual disuse, and ultimate and not
distant abolition of a trade so disgraceful to
human nature.
Your Lordship is plainly to signify to the
Portuguese government, that in any treaty
which shall contain the final arrangement
of the relations of the two countries, you
will be instructed n propose ar, article tor
this object; and you will express his majes
ty’s just expectation, that so W-ng as that
tiqde shall be con<ii.u-d by the Portuguese,
they shall abstain fr. m turnishiog slaves to
otner nations and rii ll foibear from any
parts ot the roast of Africa, to which Bri
tish ships have herr.tc.hire been used to re
sort, and which by the henry.Jen* e .ind jus
tice of the British legislature have been de
livered from that visitation.
I am &c

Extract of a despatch from Viscount Strang
ford to Air. Secre ary Canning.
Lisbon, June 4 1807. I have la.ely had
some interesting conversation with M I).
Araujo, on the subject of your despatch.
Le began by declaring his ignorance of
the precise wishes ot his majesty’s govern,
nient, respecting the steps to be taken by
Pn tugal, for the abolition of the slave trade.
It his majesty’s government expected Por
tugal to annihilate or even to discourage
that trade, he had no difficulty in declaring,
that such a measure was utterly impracti
cable at present; and that there were no
means of collecting public opinion in this
country, nor of rendering the abolition so
generally popular as to mike the rights and
interests of colonies a comparatively small
consideration. ,
That these colonists were in effeet theve
ry persons whom this government feared
most to disoblige ; and finally, that England
could afford to make experiments, which
would prove destructive if hazarded by any
other nation.
. admired the philanthropy of his ma
jesty’s government, but he declared frankly
that he should be sorry to imitate it.
He entered at great length into accounts
of tlie actual state of the Portuguese colo
nies, and endeavored to prove that their ve
ry existence would be endangered by the a
doption ot any oew system of cultivation,
however plausible and apparently favorable
to the general interests of humanity.
I do not repeat M D’Aranjo’s arguments,
bepausc I am persuaded that his majesty’s
government will find nothiug new in his mode
of treating the subject.
But on the other hand, said M. Aranjo,
if G. B. merely expects an assurance that
the Portuguese legislature will not hold out
improper and extraordinary encouragement
to the persons Concerned in.the slave trade,
thus taking an undue advantage of the legal
incapacity of British subjects to carry on
that traffic ; if she requires a promise that
the Portuguese tradtrs will abandon that
tract of coast which his majesty has deter
mined to leave to the undisturbed possession
of its native inhabitants, no hesitation will be
made to give such assurance, in any model
that may be deemed expedient.
It is, however, he continued, to be distinct
ly understood, that Portugal will not forego
the right which she undoubtedly possesses
of providing her own colonies with slaves
from o her parts of her dominions, & that
the traffic thereof is still 10 be kept up at
Cabinda, the source from whence the Portu
guese colonies are principally supplied.

My communications with the P> rtnguese go
vernment on the subject of the African
Slave Trade, have assumed an official form,
and shall be duly laid before you
I dare not, however, flitter myself that
mv exertions on that most interesting sub
ject will be completely successful).
I have some reason to believe that the
Prince Regent would be contented to cede
the settlement of B'ssau to his Majesty, ei
ther in perpetuity or for a term of years.
I have not yet received any regular over
tures on this matter, bin should such a pro

which have guided the conduct of the UrL

Dio/tatc/ifrom Lord Viscount Strangford,
to Mr. Secretary Canning
Rio Janeiro, June 7, 1809.
SIR,
it has been represen'ed to me that the
master of a British mcrchan m n, which
sailed from this port some time igo, bound
to River of Plate, having fallen in with a
Portuguese African uader, did actually pur
chase slaves on beard of that vessel, and
conrey them fn his own'ship to Buenos Ayres.
There they were sold by him in a clandes
tine and illegal manner;
In order to guard against the recurrence
of similar practices* I have taken upon my „
self to insert a clause (of which a Copy is
annexed) in the body of the license granted
by me in the name of the South Sea Compa
ny* to British vessels trading with Spanish
America, declaring that these licences shall
become altogether null and void, in case it
should appear that the ships to which they
had been granted, had, directlv or indirect
ly, engaged- in the slave trade, or in the
conveyance of slaves subsequent to the date
of the licences.

My Lord.
I In my dispatch to Mr. Frerfe,. your
Excellency will have observed, that I trans
in it ted to that minister a copy of a dispatch
to Lmd Sirangford, his majesty’s envoy .ex
traordinary and minister plenipotentiary to
the court of Brazil, in which I sig ified to
Lord Strangton. his miijesty’s command
that he should exert himself to procurethe
consent and co.operation of thec>urtof Bra
zil, to the great work of abolishing ‘lie trade
in slaves ; and that I recommend- d to Mr.
Frere to take up any favorable opportunity
of inculcating similar sentiments among the
persons in authority in Spain, tho’of course
without making any demand, or requiring
any formal pledge upon the Subject.
I have now the satisfaction to enclose to
your excellency the copy of an article in a
Treaty, which has been concluded* between
Lord Sirangford & thtf Portuguese govern
ment at Rio de Janeiro, in which your Ex
cellency will find the principles which hi*
majesty was desirous of seeing adopted by
his ally, recognized to their full extent, anil
considerable hopes held out of their being at
least gradually acted upon by the Brazilian
government.
Such an admission by a government which
may be supposed to be so much interested at
the present moment in the continuance of a
trade interwoven with the habits of their
subj cts and with the system of cultivation
throughout the dominions where thec>uit
at present resides, will furnish your excel
lency with new topics for urging the adopti
on of a similar policy by Spain, whenever a
fit opportunity shall occhr for bringing that
discussion forward.

1 EDUCATION OF TOUNG LADIES._
■A On th« 1st October next, the institution
ot Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Camp, for the im
provement of Young Ladies, will he opened in
•he city of Richmond ; it will oe confined exc/a
\siveiy to Female pupils.
I bis seminary will combine the views and ad
vantages of public and private Education ; and
will offer a situation, where not only the useful
and ornamental hranches ol Female accornpliah
ment will be cultivated, but the tenderness and
watchful care of parental attention may bi confi
dently relied upqii.
Great simplicity of arrangement, and a regular
classic d advance to the higher brunches of stu
dy, will oharacter.se the literaly course. Geo
graphy, History, ancient and modem, Biography
and a variety of Miscellaneous subjects, that
are either essential cr highly ornamental in po
lite Education, will be appropriately introduced.
r*.s the students advance in their literary career.
But a careful study of their own language, from,
the primary characters “which form the entranc®,
to t.ie Temple ol Science,” to the higher pr’ui'
ciplcs that regulate the structure, and exhibit
the beauties of English composition, will form
the basis of their instruction, and constitute the
principal occupation of the pupils. The recenO
imp. o.cmen’.s, both in the English language it
self, and in the mode of studying it, are very con
siderable. Their application to Female instruc
tion has greatly meliorated that interesting
branch of Education. By introducing order, me
th'Jd» system into their studies, & by laying in
a familiar acquaintance with elementary princi
ples, a sure inundation for higher attainfnents,
they render accessible to Female student*, seve
ral important objects of mental accomplishment,
which seemed till lately the exclusive pri'dlcg®
of the other sex.
Having availed himself of these advantages,
Mr. A. hopes that his system, in its present im
proved state, is not unworthy of the Metropolis 5
whose polished society, on the other hand, will
offer to the Young Ladies of the country, who
may resor; to it, the happiest opportunity of im
provement in polite and pleasing manners.
A monthly examination before a select com
psny, and a public exhibition every three months,
will display the acquirements of the pupils, and
announce their progress. And when upportuni
ties of obtaining public approbation so frequently
occur to enliven their attention and anini-te their
1 zeal, it may be presumed that neither precep
tor nor pupils will slumber over tbeit employ
ment. It may rather be anticipated, iliat the
hope of applause from circles so enlghvencd,
will, hke the prospect of an Olympic wreath,
awaken the sensibility of the pupils, inspire them
with emulation, and i xcite all the ardor and ac
tivity of youthful ambition
For the improvement of such young Ladies,
as desire to cultivate the p .hte arts of music,
dam ing &c the heat instructors that can be ob
tpined, will be engaged to give them lessons un
der the roof of tin seminary.
In the private application of the pupils during
the. rect ss of school hours, and in all ilia' relate*
to the domestic department of the institution,
Mr* Camp, (sister of Mi A ) will exercise
1 that affectionate and faithful attention, which for
many years has secured her the confidence and
'esteem of parents, as well as the gratelul at*
achmcnt of the young Ladies placed under her
oof .
