• HOUSE OF -PSERS. •
TUESDAY, JUNE 24:
Mr. Alexander was heard fOr the Appellant in the
Appeal Graham v. the Countess of Glencairn.—
Counsel to be furthei heard on Monday se'nnight.
The- Custom House Fees Bill, and. some' other
Public Bills were, brOnght up from the Commons,
and read a first time: • •

- . .
Our attempts to that effe& would only tend tO throVv
it-into. the hands of other nations; Who might aggia:
vate the miseries we now lament. - , •
The.BISHOP of LOlVDONargiied in favour.of
the Resolutions, and urged that the' trade,Was not
only incompatible with -the 'dictates of justice;
manity, and policy, but also with every principle of
the Christian-religion.
• The LORD CHANCELLOR had opportunities
.of witnessing• all the cruelties and atrocities which
disgraced that. trade ; and as •men more forcibly felt
what they themselves had .seen, so his sense and ab.:
horrence of the Slave Trade was -perhaps more strong,
and lively than whet Most of their Lordships might
:feel-upon a subject which had never met their eyes'.
He felt therefore more bound than most of their
Lordships; not only from that circumstance, but
from many others which came under his considera:
,lion in the. administration of justice, to hold such a
traffic in detestation, and consequently to vote. for
any measure that tended to put a termination t 6 its
horrors.

Lord IVEST4IORLAIV.I3 went into history both
sacred and Oofane, to prove that the Slave Trade
was neither unjust or inhuman ; but though it were;
did it'follow that it was'impplitic?
_ _ _

The Bishop of St. ASAPH 'contended, -that all
histOry, both sacred and profane, condemned the
trade, and reprobated it. as contrary to justice) hu-
manity, and religion.
Lord HOLLAND defended the propriety of the
Resolutions in a very, argutneritative and animated
speech ; as did likewise Lords Grosvenor, Spencer,
and Ellenborough.
Lord I,7TZIPILLIAM felt rather alarmed at the
consequences the Resolutions might produce, but
'could 'not help feelingdisposed,to support them.

Lord $1011.10071-1: rather Wished tor see the
abolition of the
_trade first begin in' he toy
India
Islands. He was ready to admit it wat inhumah
and unjust; but, from the long consideration which
he had bestowed upon, this important question, he
was led to think, that it was not adviseable to record
the ResolutionS on the, JOurnals until some means
had been devised of pat* them into execution.
Lord GRENVILLE did nut feel;it necessary to.
trouble the House with any reply, but tobk occasion
to observe, that he should this night. make another
Motion for an Address to His Majesty, praying he
would be graciously pleased to consult with other
Powers , towards the accomplishment of the
,same
end, which would afford another opportunity- to
those who were anxious again to -divide upon this
favourite question.
The House then divided on the question of con-
curring in the ResOlutions, when there appeared,
Contents 4 t---Non-Contents 20.--Majority for Mi-
nisters,.2l.
On returning below the Bar, we .found- that Lord
GRENVILL&S Motion for an. Address was carried
without a division.--Adjourned at .a Quarter past
i Twelve.
