weirys presemesl tae iNit Report
which, on the martian of Earl SPENCER. was ordered to
be primed.
The Earl of SUFFaLR took an opportunity to allude to a
Petition presented, as we inaderstwod him, so its timo saice,
claiming one of the tlllet borne by iris Lod toy, which was al-
leged by it to be in mummer. He had been iiitlispoeed at the
time It was presente I, and was obliged to lease town soon
after; which would shortly, ht, observed, be the case, on cer-
tain pressing domestic occasions; what he had to submit to the
House, and is the way of requisition, if su:h may not be
deemed improper or irregular, was,that so pirsceedings :Mudd
take place, respecting the business, dining oil absence, which,
when he eunaidgeed the adiariCed state or the Seism, and the
great memos of public btitineu, he thought could be with
propriety complied with.
The LORD CIII:4CELLOR obeerent, the Noble Fad
need stint he apprehensive of any proceedings obtaining with
respect to the Petition alluded to, this Session ; for when their
Lordship., considered the great weight of public bushiest, and
the immense quantiti, of judicial busine.s, on which great pro-
lierty, and interests ii.nportain to their fellow subjotts,depenilen,
rtlsy unlit Gel they could spare nu time for investigating what
Peerare wet- in abeyance.

Nrb!e Families, and, in contemplation of his own claim, ex-
pressed his wDb, titre the records or registers were kept and

Ma. JUSTJCF. FOX.
Lord GRENVILLE.. after adverting to the im-
rssihility, in the prelim state of public business, of
proceeding w.th the business of Mr. J!lsti.:e
on the day fixed by the last order of the Hattie,
namely. the 19 ii inst. moved, re that the said order
be discharged ;” which being done, he said he
should move for an order for the farther proceeding
on the Seth inst.
The Duke of CUMBERLAND observed. that in
the absence of his Noble Friend (the Marquis
of Abercore) he had to state that the Noble
Lord had no objection to the proposed postpone-
ment ; in agreeing to which, his Noble Friisni, by
no means wished it to be understood, that he
agreed to any proposition for postponing the
business. sine die. For his own part, he thought
if the postponement were for a few days longer, it
would be better, as the House would not be able to
resume the proceedings on the 30th. He accord-
ingly put this to the consideration of the Noble
Lord.
Lord GRENVILLE deeming the day he first
proposed sufficiently convenient for the purpose, in
the first instance, though he by no means then
pledged himself to any specific line or psinciple of
proceeding at that time, was not inclined to alter
it. Accordingly, on the questions being put, the
order for the 19th was discharged, and an order
made for the farther consideration of tit.: cote of
Mr. Justice Fox, on the 30th inst.
DEFENCE ACT REPEAL BILL.
Lord GRENVILLE observed, tire copies of
this being now upon the Table, he should move
that the Bill be read a second time, on Monday
next.
Lord HAWKESBURY was of opinion the in-
terval proposed by the Noble Lord was too short.
The questions to which the Bill referred. embraced
other topics of considernmion, than that which its
tide imported. Suppose Thiar.day was fixed. The
Iwamoto seemed to make part of a general military
system. which His Majesty's present Ministers' had
lender consideration. He thought a general idea
ref ose should be afforded the House, before the
present measure was urged for final adoption.
Lord GRENVILLE observed, that the ground
welted by the Noble Lord was lay no means suf-
,'ficient for the postponement of the discussion. His
opinions on those points to which he had al-
bided, were widely different from those of the
Noble Lord. Whatever might have been
thrown out by His Majesty's Ministers in ano-
ther House, they could have no regular knowledge
of in that. When those measures should come
regularly before them, they could then be properly
discussed ; the consideration of the present mea-
sure, abstracted from any system that may be in
contemplation, was sufficient to engage the auto-
tion of Parliament. and it was one which he thought
should be speedily adopted, as a measure, whose
consequences, instead of being beneficial, bad
proved highly injurious. His Lordship then moved,
that the above Bill be read a second time on Mon-
d iy, and that the Lords be summoned for that
day." which was ordered accordingly.
SLAVE TRADE LAIITATION BILL:
The Order of the Day for the third reading of
this Bill being read,
A few words, in the way of explanation, wete
interchanged between the Earl of Westmoreland
and Lord Auckland, respecting the line of pro-
*ceding, so as regularly to bring forward the
Amendments, of which certain Noble Lords, who
opposed the Bill, had, on a former night, notified
their intention of moving. At length,
The Duke of CLARENCE rose, and expressed
his intention of moving the Amendment to the Title
of the Bill, which he seemed to say would produce
the effeas istendtd, with respell to the operation of
certain parts of the Bill, to which, more than the
rev, he strongly objeaed. He wished that some
Peer. more competent than himself, had come for-
ward ; but he telt the importance of the sobjea so
strongly, that he was induced to offer himself to
the attention of their Lordships. There were par-
ticular parts of the BiU, which, more than any other,
and in every point of view in which he considered
them, His Royal Highness seemed to think objec-
tionable. He meant chiefly those which west to
prevent the exportation of slaves from British
islands, or in British vessels, into Foreign colonies.
.When he considered this prohibition, under what-
ever motive it was ptolessedly urged, must deem
it pot of a system for the abolition of the slave
trate. Wine their Lordships duly to consider, of
had they an opportunity of considering, that great

man of evidence which was adduced on the subjeS•
they woeld theU be fully aware of, and thoroughly
impressed with, the importance of the ttaffic in
itirestiOn. His Royal Hightrev entered itporn some
calculations to, evince this proposition, and stated
the capital employed in the trade to exceed two
millions sterling. He then adverted to the num-
bers of seamen employed, and for whom it proved
a nursery ; and the extensive drawback upon
the Slave Trade itself, which the Bill would pro-
., duce, may be conceived, when it was known, shot
out of upwards of 35,000 slaves, more than 22.00 b
were afterwards exported from the British Islands
to foreign Colonies and settlements. When he
reflected on the immense capital employed in the
trade, the great quantities of British manufactures
consumed in consequence of it, and the numbers of
seamen employed, how strong must be his repro-
bation of a measure, which would diminish nearly
two-thirds of the whole. His Royal High-
ness adverted to the different sentiments enter-
tained upon this subject by the father of the
Noble Lord, now at the head of Administra-
tion, and who was fully impressed with the im-
portance of these considerations. He referred to
the operation of the three past Mts ; from the first
passed in 1766. to the general Aft of last Session ;
and he expatiated upon the advantageous traffic be-
tween the British islands, and the Spanish main,
which eatirely depended upon the transmission id
Slaves, and which would prospedlively be in greater
demand, as it was the present policy of. the Court of
Spain to cultivate the extensive island of Cuba.—
Added to these considerations, their Bill was hut-
' Icacions as to its avowed objeB. No regulations of
tau legislature could prevent those Foreign Colonies
being supplied by the ships of other states—it was
impossible—the coasts of Atri • wete open to all
nations. To pass such a Bill wild, therefore, be
neither consistent with true policy, sit would throw
that into other hands which we might ourselves
retain ; rot- with true humanity, as the transmission
of Slaves would be given to those who wottid not
use them with such tenderness and care ! His
Royal Highness then adverted to the share the
Americans at present enjoyed of this traffic. and
the increased proportion, they were likely to have,
*Should the Bill pa.s in its present shape ; and
be called the attention of their L ndships to the
circumstance of the cargoes now on their pro.
greys to the West Indies, and the calamitous
consequences that must ensue, when the farther
expeftation of these should be stopped. Upon the
• whole, his view of the MeASUre was such, that he
shou!il tncve, in the way of Amendment, to leave
out that part of the title cf the Bill. which goes
" To prevent the exportation of Slaves. by any of
His Majesty's suble&s, into any colonies or islands,
subject to any Foreign State of Power." fee.
The Earl of SUFFOLK felt himself bound ea
principles of htllTlailiy. as well as of-liberty, to iup-
pert the Bill.—He stave: ted to the practicability of
cultivating the West India Islands, by other means
than those of the importation of African Negroes ;
and quoted the production of a Noble political Es-
sayist' in support cf the idea. He dwelt much on
the good effects of a mild and humane treatment of
the Negroes a; present on the soil, which, together
with encouraging propagation amongst them. may
in a short time preclude the raceway of farther
importations for the purposes of cultivation.
The Bishop of LONDON followed. He argued
in favour of the measure, a. well on its own me-
rits, as a part. were it so considered, of the system of
abolition. He agreed with tjUt Noble Lail, that
the islands may be cultivated without having re-
course to fresh importations. This be was induced

from time to time. been adduced; and, 'ember,
from the example of what occurred in -the Ameri-
can state of Virginia. where the further importa-
tion was prohibited; and in which, by documents to
which his Lordship referred. it appeared the num-
ber of Negro inhabitants had increased in' an almost
inconceivable degree since the prohibition. By
similar causes, he argued. similar effeas would
doubtless arise in the British West India Colonies.
The Earl of ‘VESTAIORELAND, in an argot. ,
mentative and well-delivered speeCh.of some length.
of which our limits will not allow us to give even
an outline, supported the propositions, the calculi'.
tions, and the motions of His Royal Highness the
Duke of Clarence. Towards the conclusion of his
Lordship's Address, he censured the measure under
consideration. net only on the specific grounds, on
which principally it was arraigned by the Royal
Duke, but as an abolition in disguise ; a consum-
mation never conceived by any of the great constitu-
tional enlightened Statesmen of the country ; they
were all the friends of ceasti utional liberty, and
had the true interests of Britain at heart ; as King
William, Sir K. Walpole, Mr. Pelham, Lord Chat-
ham, Mr. Grenville, or Lord North. No, bat it
was the aiming or the invention of Les Antis des
Lair, at Paris, of Jacobin incendiaries, of enthu-
siasts in false religion or politics, and of congrega-
tion' at the Old Jewel, cite. Upon the whole, and
viewing the matter in every point of view, he most
cordially supported the amendnient cf His Royal
Highness.
The Marquis of SLIGO..-who appeared es-
cessively indisposed, was indulged by the Hotta
with the permission to deliver his sentiments from
his seat—made a few observations in a very low
tone of voice ; the drift of which, as we could col-
left, was against the Bill.
Lord HOLLAND spoke at some length in fa- 1
vour of the Bill, which he defended on grounds
of sound policy, as well as thoseof humanity and
justice. He sully approved 9f what fell from a
Noble Earl, who spoke early in the debate, as well
as the arguments of the Learned Prelate who fol-
lowed him. He contended, it was impossible a trade
less advantageous eventually to the real memos of
Britain, could be carried on, than that in question ;
1 and w:th seeped to America. he regretted Lis nit
having brought down some authoritim• to thew
what the laws of that country were upon the sub-
I jeff. but he believed that steps were already taken
for the entire abolition of the slate importation,
throughout every part of the United states.
The Earl of WESTMORLAND shortly ex-
plained. •
the Bishop of ST. ASAPH, in a short but spi-
rited Address. supported the arguments of the No.
ble Lords its favour of -the Bill. With respek to a

idea, that the 8411 •.vas an aboli'ion in

disguise, were it tine, it would be an add,,i I
stimulus to him to support the Bill ; for „ ,
he hated all disguise, yet he felt so strongly net

cealed stratagem !
Lord ELDON, after glancing at the conduct
he formerly held, with respect to the subject so
often adverted to, observed, that with a due regard
to himself, and his fellow subjects,and a respect
for the interests of those who were concerned, he
had now to express to their Lordships the doubts
he entertained upon the present occasion. Hi;
Lordship wished, that while the Reverend Prelaret
were supporting this measure, they would also in-
demnify the individuals who must suffer by it.
There was no man more inclined to the abolition of
the Slave Trade than himself, yet he had his doubt>
upon the subject, and greatly apprehended it vrould
destroy a large portion of British shipping, Bluish
Collor., and British merchants, and would carry an
article of trade into a foreign market. His Lord-
ship, therefore, opposed the measure.
Lord HOLLAND shortly explained.
The Bishop of ST. ASAPH also, in explanation.
deprecated so execrable a prathice as the Slave
Trade, which he considered an espedltion so many
years carried on against an innocent and harmless
people.
The Marquis of BLANDFORD made inure oh-
set %rations in favour of the Bill.
The E.'srl of DARNLEY thought, that if this
trade was put an end to, the British capital now
embarked in it would find its way in another char-
nel, if not more, at least equally advantageous to
the sale of British produce and manalatiiires.
The Duke of GLOUCES TER said, he wls
unused to public speaking, yet he could not give a
silent vote on the present occasion. He considered
the present Bill as an introduelion to the entire au •
lition of she Slave Trade, which he abhorred, :al
thertiore gave it his warm support.
Lord GRENVILLE, in a most able speech, rf
consider able length, which we regret our limits oil
nut permit us to detail, warmly supported the mei.
sine. Ills Lordship expressed his strong and de-
cided opinion against the Slave Trade; and congra.
tulated the House upon this Bill being the first situ
towards the amelioration of the condition of those
unhappy people; an objal the warmest and
dearest nest his aeatt. He rejoiced that the cause
of humanity, religion, and justice, should pre-
vail; whereby near 38,000 miserable individuals
would be relieved, and we should set a glori-
ous example for other nations to follow. This
trade had been done away hi Denmark ; Ame-
rica, by an a& of the States, no longer would prac-
tise it from MOS, except the single state of :wink
Carolina; and Sweden was already inclined towards
it. The Spanish laws were also against it i the
subjeft had now been eighteen years .under consider-
ation, and he asked if any man still entertadned
doable upon it, how long was the life of man to
be prolonged, in order to satisfy them ?
Lord H AWKIISBU RI objettesi to the measure,

Lord- ELLENEOROUGH thought, that the
mischiCes which arose from this trade had been
greatly exiggetated ; but, as the Bill before tiro
House was a mere cautionary policy against the
strength of the enemy, he warmly supported the
measure.
Lord ELDON was in the course of explanation,
