was desirable not to give outdoor relief tempt in cases of eh.
solute necessity. That was a general observed As, and wit
as a general proposition he was ready to agree. But he did

Why, he (Mr. Hatt) had said nothing stronger than this.
(Hear, hear.) The cammittes of the Home of Commons, of
which he was chairman, brought forward no al mations
of a more rringent nature than those contained is
these resolutions, either in regard to the exteneiele
of the slave trade or to the failure of the
measures adopted fog its suppression. (Hear, bear )
But what surprised him was, that these very persons should
now unelsrtaks the defence of that system the failure of
which they bad so proclaimed. (Hoar, bear.) He arrived
now at the year 1840. That year was distinguished by a
temporary but remarkable diminution is the slave trade,
and there Were egilain naval alma who were anxious to
persuade the world that that diminution was caused by their
proms sad performances on the coast of Africa. ("Hear,"
and a laagh.) Now he believed that Captain Denman and
Captain Hansel were most zealous and meritorious tams,
but when they claimed for their plans and performances the
merit of this reduction in the slave trade at that period, be
thought they were labouring under the delesios of that
parish sexton who believed that the large attendance at
a certain parish church was entirely explaioed by the
manner in which he tolled the church belle. (Laminar.)
lie saw near him his right hon. friend the First Lord of the
Admiralty, who about that period happened to be Chancellor
of the Exchequer, and he was sure he at least, though otiose
might forget it, would remember that the period to which be
was now sdverting was a period of great mercantile demo
doe. Now any asensalile depression affected the Sam
trade just a. much as any of the legitimate breaches of
commerce. and that depression was one of the concurrent
causes of the great diminution in th • slave trade. (Hear,
hear.) But there was another emus a a remarkable Moue.
ter in operatics at that time. At that period both Cubaand
Brazil were honestly engaged in attempting to prevent the
importation of slaves into these countries. (Hear, hear.)l
Mr. G ere Ouseley, whese despatches had been laid on the
table of the house se our minister at Brazil, attributed the'
diminution mainly to the exertions which were made by that
intelligent and excellent man Se nhor Cavaleante, the Bra-
zilian Minister of Marino to suppress the trade. (Criss d''
" hear hear.") At that same period General Valdez we
governor of Cub*. In 1843 he was recalled, and about the
same time the antislavery miaistry of Breil were voted Intl
of office. Commerce then revived, and with the revival el
commerce, notwithstanding the increased efficiency a ear
fleet, came again all the horrors of the slave trade. In 1842 the
number of slaves exported from Africa sunk down to 30,000.
In 1843 the number roes to 65,000; in 1848 to 76,000; le
1447 to 84,000; and though he (Mr. Hutt) had not been
fuskked with the means of ascertaining the numbers in the
hea two years, or the manner in whist' the trade was carried
elk yet he had learned, from such means as were within his
reach, that in late years, as well as at present, the slave trade
was in an unusual data of activity. (Hear. Item) He Lund
ia a piper laid on the table of that house last year, a state-1
meat made by a person well qualified to form a judgment, in ,
sustentation of that opinion. The piper he sUuded to he
l
then held in his hand, which was • letter written by one of
a party of missionaries to the King of Aehanues. The letter
was written from the coast of Africa, and was dated 1843. It
commenced by stating: " It is a distressing fact that, notwith-
standing our blockade, there is no check whatever to the
dave trade. It flourishes now to a degree' as the last ace
counts from Brasil report, unparalleled. Not long ago a
eall/0, which could cot find buyers, owing to the over-
crowded state of the market, was sold to repay the cost of
treieht. ( Hear, hear.) Notwithstanding the presence of
our ship., the slave trade has been progressing, which most
convincingly proves the futility of the attempt to suppress
the inhuman traffic by force alone. The precautions mean-
may to avoid oar comers compel the slavers to cram their
wretched victims In the bold, mkt they are crushed to suf-
focation. (Hear, bear.) There can be no doubt that muck
of the miff ring would he avoided if there were no squadron
on the coast." (Hear, bear.) Now, slash was the end
they arrived at after 30 years, during which period they
were eopaged in the work of suppression. (Hear, hese)
There was one feature in the history of suppresion with&
wa. well worthy the attention of the house. Up to the
year 1840 the slave trade to Braz.l was perfectly ties.
(Hear, bear.ll Up to 1840 we creed not molest the slave
trade south of the Equator. Lord Palmerston, in his evi-
dence before a unimitteee declared that "up to 1840 the
importation of slaves into Brazil was unrestricted." (Hear,
hem) In 1840 they first obtained the right to suppress the
slave trade south of the Equator ; and accordingly they
despatched their squadron there. What was the result ?
Ho mat not by his quastiou to ask what was the temporary,
bra an permanent result ? Before the slavers resorted to
smog/110g and other edifies@ their squadron captured nuay
laden slavers; bat that was not the question. What was
the state of things at present south of the Una) Why, that
the slays trade was going oa with as great activity as ever ;
sad the fact was that, notwithstanding the presence or ab-
eam of their squadron, the importation of slaves into Brazil
was not restricted, and the squadron had produced no change
whatever in the elitist of the slave trade. (Heat, hear.)
On the contrary, it appeared that the importation of slave.
into Brazil, within the last six or urea years, bad overdoes
the demand, notwithstanding that that demand had beet
stimulated by the acts of the British parliament, which ad-
mitted Brazilian sugar to marketaot this country. (Rear.)
It bad been established before that house, as essay
mmm-
bare of committee might recollect, that his sameatal
were baud on far, as regarded Brazilian 111111w1
Now, he placed these facts before the sass a the hooes.
and Awl was it pose.ble that their squadron emit be *Mk
what it cost, or worth anything at all, when it mode se
differeacis in the amount of slave, bought and gold ; eat
whoa, notwithstanding the increased demand, the alma
wets cheaper in Brasil than when the traffic was unre-
stricted. (Hear, hear.) There was not in history
an instance of a lucrative commercial speculation
befog so supposed. (Hear, bear ) Ho bogged to call
attention to the Berlin and Milan decrees spinet
British sanafeetares, and which endeavoured to exclude
them from all ordinary channels of traffic. (Hear, hear.)
Tv, despite the power of Napoleon, thus manufactures
toned their way thronigh the passes of Macedonia, and into
every capital of Europe, until they were modem found at
the hall doors of houses even in Berlin. (Hear, hear.) He
recollected when an hoe. friend of his flourished a " Ban-
dans" handkerchief in the face of the Chancellor of the
Bachequer, whoa a similar suppression was attempted by
that hoses. (" Hear, " and laughter.) Therefore it was
idle to think that the slave or any other traffic could be
suppressed by the application of force. It was a gnat
soosolation to those who bad undertaken the duty of Ile-
poaching the suppression system and to himself (Mr. Hutt)
is particular, to examine the evidence laid before parliament,
as well u to know that the views expressed by him, year
after year, on the abject. wen fully corroborated by indi-
viduals, who, from their knowledge, obtained by pudica
application, were best able to judge of their mats. (Hoare
hear.) He was not then going to trespass on the time of
the house with an elaborate analysis of the evidence taken
before various committees which sat on the questioa. The
committee which eat last examined a vast number of wig-
wams, naval officer., ntosionaries, and travellers of all
closets, and the result was a mass of o inflicting evidence. It
was to be observed, that the missionaries especially had no
more knowledge of the slave trade than if they had never
I. ft London—(laughter)—end though strongly In favour of
continuing the squadron, they could give no rims why it
should be continued. Of the wltasso a most competent men

stable lord made use of the words, that " those
who could not think deeply, complained of expenditure."
(" Hear, hear," and laughter.") However, according to
the natural power of his (11r Butt's) mind, he was led to
edge that the extravag pauses of the country amounted
to a very heavy sum. (Hear, hear.) He entertained the
souvietion that, if it were the destiny of this greet and free

torn to pieces by revolutionary violence, it would not be
brought about by angry conflicts of party, by the corrupt.
lag agency and influence of the crown, or by the inroads of

Ahmed by the disregard of national expenditure, while,
(a some evil hour, would hurl to its hese the Weds
of public credit (Hear, hear.) He hoped therefore
the noble lord would forgive his toe speaking ol expendi-
ture ; beano* it was ri ally too gnus to pay away 700,0001.

He would not weary the home with any I-bound

gruel and deluges system, whose final doom could not be
very distant, by aupportiag the motion which he had now
the honour to submit. (Cann.)
Mr. BAILLIE seconded the motion, contending that
B was acting a despicable part in regard to slavery,
having actually become a receiver of swim gads, for, while
keeping up ape, seances with her African squadron, she was
profiting more largely than any other country by the slave
ayeteen,liaving thrown open her ports to slave-grown sugar.
He regretted that the fine talents of Lord Brougham and
ethers had been thrown awl.; is support of a system now
proved to be worse than worthless, but it was a fitting result
of a course of wretched policy that our'thlers should now be
obligee to announce to the nations of the world that free
trade having now Wenn triumphant, the slave trade must
henceforth be free.
Mr W. EVANS withdrew an amendment of which he
had given notice, bat in a lengthened speech argued that it
would be an awful thing to withdraw our ships, and leave
the whole of the African coast open to the lawless traffic in
slave,. He described some el the horrors of the old unre-
stricted trade, and disputed the assertion that any atrocities
of a similar character were new practised ; and he repeated
• statement he bed road, that no such tic ertality occur. d on
board the modern slavers as had taken place in some of our
own emigrant vessels.
Mr. LABOUCIIEBE said he was convineed that
his boo. friend (Mr. Hutt) in no degree tried to coaceal
hem them his intentions, and the consequences which he
exuded to follow from the coons which he desired them to
adopt. He told them that in calling en the hens- to require
tram government that it should at once take measures to
withers" that squadron which had hitherto watched that
coast, and proposing no substitute whatever to check the
slave trade, he wished them, the Commons of England, to
announce to the world that hencienrward, se tar as they
were soncerned, this execrable traffic should prevail over
every seas without let or hindrance, and that they gave
up an oboe', for which they and greater men than that
house now contained had straggled and laboured—(cheers)
—that tleiy gave up this question, se far as this mustily was
concerned, sad took no interest in it whatever, and that the
influence of Bruised should not weigh in the scale. How-
yen desirous the people of this country may be to reduce the
expenditure, be believed that he was truly representing the
feelings and wishes of the people of England when he said
that he could not acquiesce in such a decision
without giving it the most mature coasidera
due, and without the house deliberating, weigh-
ing all the consequences that might follow, and with-
out their examining, in the minutest manner, every step
that they shou.d make in this retrograde and degenerate
course. (Hear, hear.) He would say that he be:ieved that
the people of this country would, if sot immediately, at no
distant period, call them to a strict account for entirely
misrepresenting their feelings it they now adopted the
motion of his hen. friend. Neither the bon. gentleman who
made the motion nor the hon. gentleman who seconded,
di-guised from the house their opinions on this subject.
They proffered to them no scheme which would answer u
a substitute for the squadron; they did not profess to be-
lieve that the slave trade would not immediately revive, and
be as freely carried on as any of thou lawful trades in silk or
any other oommodiiy. By the hon. gentleman's course they
would only put a stop to what was mildly termed smuggling,
and the slave traders would then follow the ordinary rules
of just and legitimate commerce. There could be no doubt
or difficulty with regard to the question which was really
before the house, and he implored the house, before they
came to a decision, gravely to weigh the evidence on which
they were asked to form as opinion, as to what were the
results of their attempts to suppress the slave trade, and as
to what would be the consequences of their witbdrawing
the squadron. (Hear, hear) It was said that by the
withdrawal they would save several hundred thougands; that
was a Menke. The hon. gentleman presumed too much when
be thought that ships of war would not be otherwise necessary
la the African sea-. If they were to withdraw all their navy
from the seas they would do a serious injury to their own
commerce, at could be testified by the bon. member for
Liverpool, who carried on an extensive trade with Africa.
Tatty should not now tars their beck upon and discourage
that trade, and lie would express big best hopes of the flnsl
extinction of this evil, the existence of which was the
shame of civilised nations. The hon. gentleman (Mr. Hutt)
had argued against the presest system, and seemed to
have made a - cage out at once when he stated
that the squadron had not succeeded in suppressing
the slave trade. Nobody believed that it would put an end
to the slave trade ; but he believed that it could be proved
to demonstration that own they withdrew the squadron
until other means had had time and epportuulty to come
into full operation, and to sequin stability, they would at
once throw the ocean open to the slave nude, and would re-
plunge Africa into scenes of blood, horror, and alarm. Then
every spark of human feeling which may now
exist on the pert of the sellers and purchaser
of slaves would be extinguished, and the slave
trade would increase to • frightful extent. The number
of slaves in Brasil and Cuba would locums% and the con-
sequence would tae a state of things that they would
cuss to deplore, and they would then have to regret the
policy which induced thus to abandon the plan which
they had hitherto, and with some degree of siaticese, per-
severed in. The priest thismoment of an adult negro in Cuba
and Brazil was 1001. The price paid tag the A.rian coast
was 201. And now he weld sea what would be the expense
of bringing each from the Coast of Afriea if then was to be free
trade in slaves. Mr. Hodge bad undertaken to take liberated
regrets from Sierra Leone to the colonies at the rate of
81. le. 104. for every man. If there was free trade in slaves
he wield colonists the expense of carrying • slave from
Africa to Cubs or Breed at 61. 10s. The value, then, of a
slave on his being landed in these countries would be
261. 10e, instead of 1001. This extreme dlfferthee of price
at once showed the limit that was placed ea the importation
of slaves from Africa. What would be the consequence of
the removal of the squadn:m ? It was plain that the slum as
they diminished in rodeo, would become objects of south lesa
ears, and the result would be that that frightful practice
which was called using-up slaves would be carried to a
much greater extent than it was at present; Cuba and
Brasil would be continually supplied with fresh cargoes,
and there would be anOnStent stream of slave labour from
Africa to those countries. The evidence given before the
Hones of Lords showed that the prise of a men adult In
Cuba in 1821 was 201.; in 1847 it was 1001. ; and in 1818,
801. In lined in 1621 it was shown to be 201., and in
1847 to be 681. He was quite willing to rest his case
on the authority of Sir Chutes Heehaw, and hie would
venture to state to the house his belief that if they should
withdraw this squadron without making an effectual
substitute, the slave trade would run on without control.
, The right hon. gentlemen then produced the evidence which
had been given by Sir Charles Hotham before a committee.
In answer to a question as to warither the removal of the
squadron would be injurious, Sir Charles Retina stated
it as his opinion that to withdraw the squadron without
offering a substitute "mid be highly injurious to this great
country, which had been embroked for so bag a thee in
such a great cure, and said that he would regret to hear
that it was the intention of government to withdraw it
without substituting something In its place. la answer to
another question as to whether it would be injurious to
the interests of the inuntry, his reply was worthy
of the high and personal ehmseter of that distinguished

He smutted that in a ease of that description he
sgpr•
ebeaded that the honour and interest of the country
attain Meat go together; and he wished the
eththilithee farther to sidereal:id that, without entering
alpthe W esetioa as to whether the number of slaves would

Weal hi Ihellhiled by the withdrawal of the squadron.
He meal amuse to another part of the subject which, he

Mew
white man had perpetrated on his
With Mew creature. The evidence which had
bus elm ea this subject before committees of both houses
M Whiniest was mot conclusive. At this moment the
ragaWe of Liberia was not only establishing peaceful
nlrlfsas with the tribes about it, but was extending
he own territories and routine out slavery. He believed
that the district of Caps Samaras had been purchased, and
they were is treaty for the purchase of Gaines, which
had smently been • place for the establishment of the slave
trade. He believed that the commissioner, who had been
entrusted by his boa. friend the Secretary for Fereign
Affairs with a mamba to the war tof the Sovereign of toe
°blab would be present at the great annual fair of the people
of that country, and would endeavour to persuade the
Sovereign to negotiate with him for the establishment of
of zial relations. The recent purchase which had been
made of the Danish forte, he was sanguine enough to
believe, vroa:d have a great effect in checking the slave
trade. He believed, that if these objects were utablithee,
the whole of the coast of North Africa would be
rescued from the domination of the slaves, and they might
trust to building up in that part of Africa e system of legiti.
mate end fair commerce which was the best chance of
ultimately improving the habits of the people, and suppres-
sing this asominable traffic, so long a curse to them. The
more hazardous, and expensive, and difficult this traffic was
made, the more the native chiefs were ready to enter into
segegements to substitute legitimate commerce. He trusted
Surgeon, that the negotiations would As carried on, with
out which ell other means must necessarily be ineffectual.
He could not promise the house or the country that by any
ether means they weld check this detestable traffic. Having
stated to the house what would be the effect of agreeing
to the resolution of his hon. friend upon the slave trade,
as carried on is Brazil and Cuba, and ou the fortunes of the
African trade itself, he would now call the attention of the
house to a subject which it was impossible to disregard—he
meant the effect which the adoption of the resolution would
have on the British colonies. The hon. member could
I scarcely have chosen a more unfortunate time for pressing
this resolution. His hon. friend proposed to enable the
foreiga rivals of these colonies to °bum en unbounded
supply of slave labour at the cheapest rata, and this at e
time when the latest complaint, from the colonies was
that it was difficult to obtain a supply of that labour
I which was necessary for the cultivation of the estates.
He must take it for granted that the house did not mean
to allow the alaverrade te oe carried on by our own
people, but if they were altogether to withdraw the
from Africa only find that the slave trade
1 would •B •° h • •
be earned on not by ritis capitalists, but by
British captains and seamen. This house was too full of
pride to permit any subject of the Queen to engage in such
• trade. He took it that it was intended not to revive the
slave trade under any diaguise ; but if the, allowed, under
the name of emigration, English attics to go to the coast of
Africa, there to purchase slaves and to take the slaves to
our colonies, they would be enacting the slave trade almost
as directly as if they themselves allowed the slaves
to be carried eases the Atlantic. If our colonies were
to be judged from their own representafiors, there wet
nothing which they urged on parliament with greater
[ earnestness than that it was the duty of England to title-
euish this foreign slavery. This would be pi culled), meal..
I innate also to the chance of returning prosperity. He
believed that at this moment the West India colonies were
exhibiting symptoms of revival whii.h he trusted woulu
speedily lead to a cessation of that state of distress, which
he deplored as much as any one. He held in his hand an
account of the quantity of colonial sugar exported from the
British West Indies within the last few years. He found
1 that in the years 1845 and 1846 the average amount of sugar
1 exported was 667,000 cwt. ; in 1847 and 1644 it was
1689,000 cwt. From British Guiana in 1845 and 1846
it was 268,000 tons; in 1847 and 1848 it was
33,448 tons. From Trinidad there was an increase
of 1,693, from Antigua of 2,234 tons. There did
exist at tke present moment • well founded hope
[ that the West Indian colonies were recovering from a
state of distress, and that if we did not interrupt them by I
such measures as these we should again see them prosperous.
There was another dccument connected with this subject,
which he was spathes to read to the house, it was an extract
from the last annual report of Governor Barkly, which he
believed had been laid on the table of the house:
At the present moment, indeed, with enlaced wages and increased
prices of priduce, sugar cutivation must again become remunera-
tive, and for • time at Mist the abandonment of estates be arrevted.
While deeply depUring, therefore, the fate of those who have been
ruined in the struggle, or who are left so irretrievably involved as to
retain no prospeet of extrication, I will not allow myself to despair of
geeing the agriculture of this testae clony placed on a muster basis
than it was possible for it to rat on at any previous period of its
history, when Its prosperity was founded either on slavery or on tiara
protection. . . . It is, of course, Srapoaeible to fortel with any
prec tint the future prospects of agrtmilural operations thus depen-
dent upon two eircumst mem, bath so subject to the Pigment's at •
multitude of unbeaten and Independent contingencies as the cost of
labour and the value of sugar. It seems to toe, however, ware.sion-
Oslo to d rubt that sugar cc.; livation must in the long run be prottable
le a country like this, where it is carried on wait less labour, and,
therefore, more cheaply than in any other spot in the world.
He need not fatigue the bouts by entering at any great
length into this. lie was saved from the necessity of
making observations which he should otherwise have felt
It to be his duty to make by the statement of
the hon. gentleman that he anticipated no other result from
the motion which he had made than the complete abandon-
ment of all restrictions on the slave trade, and the revive'
of the traffic as part of the regular commerce of the world
In conclusion, he implored the house not to agree to the mo-
tion which would do no good, which would revive
the slave trade, and deeply tarnish the character of the
British name.
Mr. ORANTLEY BERKELEY could not help stating,
when one hon. gentleman alluded to the great good which
might be done by the reduction of the size of the vessels, that
he bad been in correspondence with a person connected with
this question, and intimately connected with Africa, and he
asked it it was not the fact that there were steam slavers
employed on the African coast that set at defiance sailing
vessels, and were capable of carrying from 1,400 to 2,000
men ? and if they did not ply their trade on the coast of
Africa to • greater extent than ever ? As to another
remark of the hon. member, when he proposed that
rewards should be given to those who captured steam
vessels, he would give a recommendation not to throw good
money after bad. They had done too much already
He should cordially support the motion. He saw
that the African squadron, whilst it was totting this
country an immense sum, was totally and inadequately
Ineffective for the service over which it bad been placed,
and under these circumstances he was certain that the
house could do no wrong, morally or religiously, but would
do good, the more they were guided by this motion.
Captain PECHELL said that in 1836 it was impossible
for our squadron to be efficient for want of power, bat alter
that period there was a certain power; but the squadron
[ might have been more efficient in regard to its
condition, and. the Board of Admiralty bad never
done justice to the noble lord (Palmerton) in keeping
proper vessels for the coast of Africa. Although our efforts
had been in some measure unsuccessful, yet we had per-
formed a very large amount of good in the number of slaves
which we bad prevented being taken to the Spanish colonies
and the empire of Brazil. Our endeavours should be cau-
tioned towards maintaining the squadron in a profer
state. He believed it was in the power of the 4overament to
support the noble lord, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, in
hie efforts to suppress the slave trade, and hoping that they
would, he would cordially give them his support against the

motion.
Mr. AMSTEY rose to address the house, with the view,
he said, of bringing It back to the real question, from which
the hon. and gallant officer who spoke last had deviated, in
his anxiety to support the interest of • particular class. He
(Mr. Anstey) would vote for the motion of the hon. member
for Gateshead. He thought they should not place British
officers in the difficulty of endeavouring, in the per-
formanos of fancied duties under treaties, to promote
the p:-cification of Africa by making war against all the rest
of the world. They had the authority of Lord Stowell,
who said that a nation was not justified in assuming rights
which did not belong to her, merely because she intenaed to
apply them for lawful purposes, and that no great end
could be prosecuted by unrighteous means. On the 21st
March, 1812, Lord Aberdeen, then Secretary of State for Fo-
reign Affairs, found himself comoellied to subject this country
to the humiliation a doing justice to • merchant whose pro-
perty had been illegally taken under an instruction by an
officer of our navy, Capt. Nurse. He wished he could add
that that merchant was a Brazilian, or the subject only of •
third rate power. He, on the contrary, was the subject of a
first rate power, namely, of France. The officer was placed
in this predicament, that if he did not obey his instructions,
and enfant the embarkation of slaves, he would render
himself liable to be tried for mutiny; and yet, upon that oc-
casion, Lord Aberdeen acted be defiance of the opinion
of the law officers of the crown. He (Mr. Anctey)
&eked the horse te consider whether they were to go on
with measures which bad been proved to be faulty and
fruitless, and which coat • million • year, or were
they to adopt other measures, and if so, what
immures Were they to repeal the act of parliament which
had stimulated an increased trade in slaves—he meant the
Sieger Duties Act? (Hear, hear.) Humanity might de-
mend it, but economy said no. Well, then, our squadron
being admitted to be inoperative in the capture of
were we to discontinue it ? Economy said yes, but hums-
sity asid no, and so the questi ne was constantly shifted '
I from economy to homoliilVe and from humanity back to
. economy, like the pea under the thimble at the fair. Ile
I thought it was possible to reconcile both considerations, and
. if he were asked bow, he should answer by recommending
the house to support the motion of the hon. member or
Il Gateshead. Ile admitted that by doing so they would not
have got rid of the difficulty of ooncideriog the question,
but one thing they would have decided. They would have
t determined to commit no more follies such as they had ma-
r slued in times past, no violations of international or =uni-
t lapel law, no more crime in their own persons to be punish. d
I in the persons of their comparatively innocent subordinates.
I (Hear, hear.)
r Sir H. INGLIS said the question was what was
to be dose with the blockading squadron, and be

feared that in voting on that question, he should
not p into the game lobby with many with whom
he bad long had the pleasure of acting. Ile feared
new principles of humanity had tainted those from

he had expected better things, while he admitted w

plea of chriatiaa humanity had always found consist. -tue:

the

the duty on slave grown sugar. (Hear, hear.) Heemoitotta

be could not hope for much sunny in the nun of hancetnelyse.

with attention to the prayer of the pen peer rated on that

from the liberated Africans residing at Sierra Leone.

two committees; but looking at the r. vets of the piece:ed-

not ludicrous, to note the number of votes carried by the
outing vote of the chairman. They had beard of Mr.
Heslasson's committee, and Mr. Horner's committee, and
other Committees, which were so called from the name of
the member who prtaidee over them, but this committee, he
thought, wa a properly called Mr. Hutes entirety**, eeeause its
report represented Mr. Hutt's individual opir inn. He hoped
the squadron would continue to be erupt°. d in the work of
huttmeey in which it was engag. d—a work in which it had,
he belie,' d, done much good, and he bad no doubt would lo
much more.
Lord H. VANE felt compelled, after a full comederation
of all the circumstances of the ca e, to vote ter tee motisn.
The evidence which had been token on the subject proved
that our dens to put down the slave trade by coercive
means had failed. We had exercised certain powers seder
a treaty with the Brazils, but it was to he r. pretteil that the
treaties which gave us those extreme pewees read prov,d in-
operative. It was true that our interference hid been ems.
sionally successful, but that was only while we hal the
