Russians, in great force, had successtully attacked
the French, and drove them with immense slang. ter
lions their position ; and it was said, that, in conse-
quence, the Frenc's army was in full retreat to Ber-

duke C: i s bad en.ered Sile.i a, at the head of
180,000 Ausuians. These reports were not com-

at the time she sailed, that a battle had been fought
between the French and Russians in Poland, in
which the Latter had been defeated, with ttse loss of

Sir VICAIIY Grass. on h•b4lf of the Rev Mr.
Jones, a Magistrate of the c•sunty of Hereford,
applied to the Court, for leave to file a Criminal
Infer:nation against a Mr. Givin (a gentleman of
the same county.) and several riher persons,
grounded upon the following circumstances:
Mr. Jones, the Complainant. was surerintemkr.l
some of his workmen, who were lie.4zin..! upon his
own land, and at the time the transissiidn eom.
plained of occurred, had two favourite gryhou-ds.
lying beside him ; a hare, at the mommt, ran
within fitteea yards of them, and the greyhounds
immediately pursued and killed her. Soon after,
Mr. Givin came up, with several huntsmen, and a
pack of hounds in full chase; being disappointed in
their sport, Mr. Givin and his companions began to
ihuue. Mr. Jones ; the former d-4 him, and, in a
passion, desired to know why he killed the hat^
Fie then advanced to him. and ass iulted him with a
horsewhip, in a most violent manner. It also ap-
peared, that there had ben tome previous disagree.
silent between these ginilemen. The Learned
Counsel observed upon the unwarrantable violence
of such canduft ; it was entirely out of Mr.
Jones's power to prevent his greyhounds from
killing the hare ; but even if he could have pre-
vented them, it would be no justification for so
outrageous an act. It was also to be recollelled,
that NIT. Jones was a magistrate, a clergyman, and
upwards of sixty years of age.
Lord Este,easotinis considered it was such a
ease, as did not call for the interference of that
Court, he thought these was no great danger of a
similar occurrence taking place between these par-

MEKCIIANTS.

SLAVE TRADE.

CENTLEMEN, London, Jan. 28.
Having read yesterday the Petition which you
presented to the House of 'Lords, 1 take the liberty
of making the follt,wing remarks upon it.
In the first place, you support those which you
consider to be your tights, on certain Charters nr
Ads, which,you say, have sanctioned the Slave Trade.
I apprehend you arc aware that the first puhlic Act
in nnur favour, and which was the great ground-
work of all others, appeased in tie reign of Eliza
both. who grained letters patent for carrying on the
trade from the R•ver Senegal to an huedred leagues
beyond Sierra Leone You have, perhaps, forgot-
ten the religions suspicion which this Princess en-
tertained relative to the lawfulness of it, when it
was begun. It is well known that she sent for Sir
:elm Hawkins, after his voyage to Africa and His-
pAninlA, and that she expressed her concern to him
lest any of the Africans should be carried off with-
out their free consent, declaring, that it rould k
detettalle, and enl dove tie oars enee of Hcarra UPON
the amtlfdaking." Now, Gentlemen, as the letters
patent in question were granted by this Princess,
soon after these remarkable expressions, what is the
inference, but that, in sandioning the trade, she was
kept purposely ignorant of the cruel circumstances
belonging to it This was also the case with Louis
the Thirteenth of France, who set his face against
the introduaion of it, till he was assured that the
Africans were savages at home, and that, by being
carried into the European colonies, they would en-
joy the blessings of the Christian religion.

And as this was the case both with Elizabeth and
Lcruis, so it. was the case with all other of our own
Princes, under whose reigns any Afts have been
made in your favour. I mean to say, that the
Members of the different Legislatures which made
them, were ignorant of the violent, cruel, and
treacherous manner in which the unhappy Africans
were redneed to slavery, or they would never have
given them their support. What British Prince or
Parliament would have given your agents leave to
make Africa a scene of blood and desolation ? or
what Prince r r Parliament, knowing the horrors of
the trade, as it now exists, would now suffer it to be
begun ? It app ears to me that two things ate al-
ways implied in every Legislative Act ; first, per-
mission to do certain actions ; and, secuudly, a con-
dition, that the actions thus permitted are not to he
contrary to the laws of justice and relig'on. Now,
if you fail in performing the condition. I apprehetd
you forfeit your claim to the permission, and that
you can no longer look up to the Legislature for its
support.
But it is, I believe, on the preamble of the Act
of the 23d of George the iecond, on which you so
much depend, " That whereas the Trade to and
from Africa as very advantageous to Great Britain,
and necets..ry for the supplying of the plantations
and colonies thereunto belonging, with a sufficient
nuarshrr of Negroes at reasonable rates," therefore it
is de able it should be carried on. But what did
that enlightened statesman, Mr. Pitt, c.ay, when he
reed tilts preamble in the House of Commons, on
the 21 of April, 1792 ? " Here, then, we see,"
s.red Air. Pitt, reading the preamble aloud, " what
Parliament had in view. when it passed this Act,
and I have clearly shewn, that not one of the occa-
sions, on which it grounded its proceedings, now
exists. I may then plead, I think, the very pream-
ble itself as an argument for the Abolition. If it
has been shewn that this trade, instead of being
very advantageous to Great Britain, is the mast de-
scruffier that can well be imagined to her interests
—that it is the ruin of our seamen—that it stops the
extension of our manufactures :—lf it has been
proved. in the second place, that it is not now ne-
cessary for the supplying of our plantations with
Negroes. If it has been farther established, that this
traffic was front the very beginning contrary to the
first principles of justice, and consequently that a
pledge fur its continuance, if such a pledge had
ever been given, must have been completely and
Absolutely void—where then in this Aft of Parlia-
ment is the contraft to be found, by which Britain
is bound, as she is said to be, never to listen to her
own true interests, and to the cries of the natives of
Africa ? Is it not clear that all argument, founded
on the supposed pledge of Parliament, makes against
those who employ it ?"
I come now to the next statement in your Petition.
You are pleased to say, that the cultivation of the
colonies cannot be carried on without supplies of
African labourers, from which you deduce many
alarming consequences, such as the loss of your own
property, the loss of an immense duty to the revenue,
the loss of the exportation of a vas quantity of our
marmfadures, the loss of the employment of litiOoo
seamen, &c. Now what can have induced you to
lay such a frightful picture before the House of
Lords? You know as well as I do, that there are a
great number of plantations in the different West
India Islands, which, much to the honour of those
who have had the management of them, Lave never
bought) an African Negro fir f.!(;), NI, 40, 50, and
even t.O years, and some of which have doubled
their population by birth. It is clear, then, that no
supplir sof Aft ican labourers are wanted for these,
and of course, that none of the alarming verse-
:Fences, which you have painted to this branch of
toe legist.aure, will follow there. And why might not
ttiher plantations do the same ? You know that the
managers of these might breed and rear almost as
many Negroes as they pleased, if they did not set
their faces against it. And what other @tree will
the stoppin of supplies from Africa (which is the
only thing Mended by the Bill) have, but that of
obliging all such bad managers to change their
system, that is, to treat their Negroes more kindly
than they have hitherto done, and to put them upon
the same footing as those upon the estates which
have nal occasion for foreign labourers. And here
it may not be impertinent to temark, that an im-
provement in your fortunes would be more likely to
fallow, than the poverty you expect. For which ate
the embarrassed estates in the West Indies, according
to your favourite author, Mr. Long, but such as
where the managers of them prefer the purchasing
of new Negroes, to the acquisition of them by a wise
increase from the h.rths.

I should have made no further remarks upon the
dreadful soatequences you anticipate, but t:lat tW9

of the arguments, included M them, Meth a more
particul reply.
The first relates to the vast duties which come
into the Treasury from your produce. While Ido
not wish to lessen the value of ocr West Indian
possessions, and will o I ant ti of opinion, that
it will not be diminidted by dhe proposed sill, I am
obliged to remind yew, that the people of England,
and not you, the Merchants and Planters, iy t're'e
duties ; and that th,fy would continue to pay them,
if sugar, or other produce, similar to y' tir own,
were to clme from any other quarter of the
world. _ _

The second relates to the Seamen, whom you
employ. You slate them at 16,000 ; be it so—
We know then the number which the We.t India
Trade annually raises. Hut how came you, Gen-
tlemen, to conceal, that the Slave Trade destroys
between two aud three thousand Seamen annually ;
and therefore that whatever you may gain by the
one, you lose by the other Trade.
In anozhor part of your Petition, you seem to urge
the proximity of the island of St. Domingo to the
most important of the British Islands in the West
Indies, AS an argument against the Abolition of the
Slave Trade. Lot surely you seem to have over.
looked how impt.lously this raximity calls upon
you for its Abolition. lu case of ally sitdd.m rup-
ture between St. Domingo and you, or between
St. Domiiir and Great Britain. where would he
your salary, i.iclovd by a multi:iide of newly-import.
ed Slaves ? lVould not these join the enemy on
their first landing ? Du they not cousibt of such in.
flammable mitten, that there is need only to touch
it to make it blaze i' Flom whom does Mr. Long
say that your alarms have always arisen, but from
the imported Africans. Wh , if your popula-
tion were to consist of Creaks, nr native Negroes,
you might bid defiance to General Christishe, or to
any other person corning in a hostile capacity from
that quarter.
There is, Gentlemen, one part of your Petition,
which I cannot but notice, I meant, where you seem
to rest perfally satisfied m your owo innocence, or
in the idea that nn delinquency has been proved
against you. That there has been delinquency some.
where, and great delinquency. and sucli delinquency
as history has never before recorded, is certain.
This delinquency has been shewn t.s exist in Alrica,
by the evidence before both Houses of Ps&anient.
It has been shewn to exist also in the West Indies,
by means of the same evidence, and still farther by
the bloody accounts lately handed to us by Lord
Seaforth. Now "cruljecit per diem
,tics per se,"
is not only a maxim in metals, but ackeowledgcd
both in the theory and the praflice of the English
law.

7he last sub e& you touch upon is compensation
in case of the Abolition or the Sias e Trade ; I shall
observe briefly upon this, as tar as relates to the
West Indies, that they, who have treated their Ne.
groes with kindness, will have no occasion fur it,
and that they, who have treated them otherwise, do
not deserve it. I do not, however, mean to say, that
there may not be cases, where the Legislature may
hold it justifiable to grant a compensation. With
relieft to those, however, who are concerned in the
African part of the system, it would be a violation
bo•h of morals, and of all the principles ofjorispru-
dence, to allow it. I have heard, that in some coun-
tries, they, who stole others as goods and chattels,
were punished with death. I have heasd, that in
others the receivers of stolen goods were punished,
as well as the thieves themselves. But I never yet
heard, that men in any country had a compensation
for abstainiag from iniquity, or that they were to be
indemnified t:om sufferings, which might arise out
of a violation of all religion, provided they would
abandon the crimes which occasioned them.
