The laws that were passed during the last session
of congress, have not as yet been printed. But

Foreign Office, April l itk, 1807- 1
My Lord—After the solemn and final decision of
the legislature ot this Kingdom, with respect to the 1
abolition ol the slave trade, in as far as his msjes- *
ty’s subjei ts have been engaged therein j it is ex* 1
treniely desirable that the piinriples ol justice and \
humanity, ty which the king and his'^arliament j
have teen actuated on deciding in this important !
measure, should not be thwarted nor frustrated by 4
the pertinacity ul otlitr powers, in allowing their 1
tubjec is to continue this disgraceful traffic. By the ‘
occtirrenc^ *>f a majority of the principal maritime j
nations of Europe, it has been prohibited, and bis j
tnajwSty cannot entertain the suspicion, that taking *
the advantage ol the legislative exclusion ot British
Subjects from this trade, the subjects of Portugal
will be encouraged in the prosecution, much more
in the extension ot it by the countenance or prolic
tion ot tneir government.
I have thcrelore to signify to your lordship his
majesty's pleasure, that you omit no opportunity to
represent to the Portuguese ministers, the general
bent lit that would lesult from tire arresssion of the 1
government of Portugal, to the fullest extent of the
measures which the British legislature, alter the 1
must patient and laborious investigation, has finally 1
determined to adopt, on a question which has su ’
long interested and agitated the publrck mind in this 1
and every other civilized country. i
It, however, Iroui any contracted,- and (as there 1
is no doubt it will piuve to be) mistaken policy, the'
Portuguese government Should persist in allowing
their subjects to prosecute this trafhrk, his nnijes- 1
ty has an undoubted right to require that their com
mercial operations should be confined'to the lerrito- 1
ries m Africa, which the Portuguese traders have
hitherto been accustomed to frequent, and should
uot be extruded to the tract of roast which his ma
jesty has determined to abandon, and to leave to
the undisturbed possession of us native inhabitants.

April 1.7*4, 180S.
My Lord—The Portuguese settlement of Bissas,
on the western' coast of Africa, is in the midst of a
territoiy in which the slave trade is now nearly dis
used; add fiuiu its situation, interrupts the pro.
gress ul the endeavours which have been made of
laic years to afford to,- at least, a considerable por
tion of the coast of that continent, a chance of im- ,
provpinml and repose. r
If your lordship should see no immediate prospect
of being able to obtain the assent of the Poitogueae
government to the principle which, by my other
despatch on the slave liaihck, you are directed to
incnirate j yotSr lordship will'endeavour to persuade
the Portuguese government, even if in other places
llie slave Hade shall still continue, to abandon the
truftrk in slaves at this particular settlement (re
taining whatever other commerce may belong to it,)
or to ascertain whether un any,- and wbat conditi
ons, the Portuguese government might be induced
to cede it to his majesty. I am, dec.
