was in the recollection of the House, that previous
to the passing of that measure into a law, addresses
had been voted by Parliament to His Majesty, pray-
ing him to take such means as were must likely to
conclude negociations between this country and
foreign nations, for the purpose of inducing them
to put an end to that detestable traffic. Steps
were accordingly taken to procure the acquiescence
of France, and the application to the Court of Por-
tugal was then postponed, on the ground that it
was more Jirnhable to be successful when the ac-
quiescence of the former Power was obtatinol.
However, that great measure of humanity received,
without any reference to party views or hostility,
the decided approbation of the British Legislature,
and its accomplishment has immortalized the cha-
racter of the Parliament in which it was con-
cluded—immortalized, he would repeat, becanee
when party politics were forgotten ; when all
the passing occurrences of this day, important
even as they are, were obliterated from human re-
collection ; when even the British nation shall
have ceased to exist, this great act of jnitice and
humanity will be reviewed as one of the proude.'t
characteristics of the age in which it passed, 2S one
of the most admit...Kt occurrences in the pare of
British history. Therefore it was that he wished
to impress upon the House the solemn necessity
of protecting its own measure, of preventing it from
being, counteracted or defeated, by under-hand
expedients, and by the clandestine seizure of op-
portunities, calculated to arouse and stimulate
the spirit of unjustifiable gain. The history of the
last war had ',toyed the evil effct: of that ruinous

They were in direct violation of the 7th of
111. chap. 43. He referred to the conduct of
the great .ud good men who had at various times
conducted the concerns of the country, and ahe
had uniformly applied to Parliament fur a Bill of
Indemnity, whenever they were obliged by as itti-
perious necnsity to violate the existin# laws of the
land. The Noble Lord then compared the Oider

of the 7th of Ilia present Moi:edy, which nstricteti

The Lotto CHANCELLOR contended that the
Order alluded to we not ouly ro breath of the

very statute to which the NotAe Earl applied the
violation.
