MINIMS§ NM, It is understood, In no little diffi-
culty u to Mr. Htrres slave trade motion, which
mama tor discussion this evening. The feeling of the
bow frearrallY• it is pevty notorious, is against fur-
ther persistence in a policy, the cortinuanoe of which
'sly more and more muss, not merely its practical
Jaime, but its wut of every element of success; and
there is a very strong dispaaition cn both sides to
tram Mr. Rm.'s motion to account by addressiol:
the crown in tho sense in which he proposes.
There is r. indeed, in say considerable sec-
tion of tho house, a belief that the slave
trade Iles tsi or is likely to be, seriously repressed,
much more immanently suppressed, by armed inter-
vettior. And the ehlocer. theiefore, are, that were
ministers to resist Mr. iierr's motion on that ground,
& division would plaza the honourable member for
Greshead in a ; a result leading, as Lad
rilorafrox has announced, to his resignation.

Mr. HVITI motion will not, consequently, be so
Taste]. Tbs arattosetit in favoar of the inherent
Dv?, of the cruizing system will, it is said, be
as &mid ; and excuses for its csistinlance will,
it-:cal. be resorted to. Thus, fir example, Lord
r , mr.:.-rox, it may ha anticipated, will contend
th.-. 1. while the slave trade is now, on the one hand
ea: fined to Basil, there ie, on the other hand,
a Aso. pry in that empire desirous to put down the

soa. to a few years longer, it is mere than probable
this. the DitiTS Brazilian pry, sill
saainst the foreign or Portuguese party,
now upholds the slave trade. Whereas

ah statute, sal to send thins back the treaty of 1820

Another arise for voting against Mr. Hurr's
mo:ios ail b:. ttat it wares too sudden a choose
in a palicy which we fare been so long and so labo-
&oily u?on the rest of Europe. This is
a stja of lit to which we may expect to find
res:rtieg. Thy will admit the
system to be nisnraessfot; its east to be enor-
sum ; its parent e intinuanoe not to be thought
oL But its sulden abandonment may Ms-
enclit England sa.h ter Christian allies; and,
thertfore, we mu.t gradually get out of the scrape
