FOR Eleven Years I have relinquished all other
Practice for the T red meat of Venereal Coif'
the cure of those deficiencies which are the consequences of
a clestrudive habit.

The undoubted qualifications which I possess, as a Mem.. -
bet of the Royal College of Surgeons, fottncrly a Surgeon in
the Army, and the extent •of my experience in this peculiar
line, constitute my claim to that superiority, which.cannot
be attained by the illiterate, or even by the most respectable
general Practitioner, whose mind is harassed by attention to
•an iinmense variety of Disorders. • • •
The very, singular complaints' of Disease and Debility, in
which from every part of the world I have been consulted,
must have considerably conduced to
,my perfed comprehen-
sion of the Most complicated Cases.
If Diseases arise from the indiscretion of an unguarded mo-
tnent, and if such Cases of distressful ,disarrangement do
exist, as those which are the consecniences of an habittral
vice, can any Man assume a better title to treat 'them than
a regular Surgeon, resigning all other Pradice for the Treat-
•ment of these,_ and concentrating his attention and studies to
this particular point ?
In recent C ases of Infe&ion, all Pain, Danger, and Dis-
tress may be avoided, and in the first sensations of local
Weakness, much future misery may be prevented; by such
means of re-animation as will restore health and Strength' to
the Constitution.
Through inconsiderate neglect the slightest, cases become
important, but it is the acquirement of exclusive experience
in this line to give a safe anti 'permandlit. restoration, even
when other Praaitioners 'mire failed. _ _

The terms of remuneration are precisely stated on the first
interview, but no letters are answered unless a Bank Note is
incloSed.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF PEERS.

TUESDAY) ,JUNE 10.

The House proceeded in the Appeal from the
Court of Chancery, "Mary Gecn-giana Seymour, an
infant, by her next Friend, against the Earl of
Euston and Lord Henry Seymour." The Solicitor-
,
General, at considerable' length, went over most of
the arguments urged in this Cause in the Court of
Chancery, and was followed on the same side by
Mr. Adam, The further consideration of the ap-
peal was then postponed till to-morrow.
During the hearing of fhe Appeal, the Bishop. of
WINCHESTER addressed the House in further con-
firmation of an affidavit, made by his Lordship,
which had been referred to by the SoliCitor-General,
relative to the education of Miss
.Seymour in the
Faith of the Church Of England,
The Loan CHANCELLOR observed, that whatever
degree of resped they might entertain for the opi-
nions of the Right Reverend Prelate, their Lordships
could only look to what was in evidence before them.
The Irish Stamp Duties Bill was read a third time
acid passed,' and a Message sent to, the House of
Commons to acquaint them therewith.
Strangers were excluded, whilst. their Lordships
discussed some matter of privilege brought forward
by the Earl of LIMER/CIC.

The discuSsiOn continued some time:: - StrangerS
were re-admitted, but no public business «as .done,
and very soon afterwards they were again excluded,
when, we .understood, the consideration of the evi-
dence adduced on the trial of Lord Vi§count Melville
was resumed. •

The House continued in discussion. till eleven
o'clock, when, we understood, an Order was made
to proceed further on the Trial of Lord Viscount

Melville on Thursday, and a Message ordered to he
sent to the House of Commons to acquaint them
therewith.

Adjourned till to-morrow (this day).

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

TUF6DAY, JUNE 10.

Sir /cam ANDERSON brought up •a Petition from
the Parish of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, in favour of
the East London Water Works' Bill.—Ordered to.
Tie on the Table.

On the Motion of Sir Jowsr SINCLAIR, it was
ordered to be an instrudion to the Committee ap-
pointed to consider of the Laws relative to Wag-
Kons, &c. on the Highways throughout the United
ingdoms, to take into their consideration the Mt of
the 28th of the. King, chap. 27, relative,to Outside
Passengers on Stage Coaches.
Mr. HOBHOUSE brought up the Report of the
Committee of Ways and -Means of yesterday; which
was agreed to, and a Bill ordered to be brought in
accordingly.
Mr. VANSITTART brought up the. Scotch Distillery
fill; which was read a first time, and ordered to be
read a second time on Thursday next, and to be
printed.
The Irish Malt Duty Bill was read a third time
and passed.

LOAD WELLESLEY.
Sir A. WrEtA.EsLr,Y, agreeably to naite, moved
for certain Papers, illustrativeof.Marquis Wellesley's
condUa as to the Nabob of Oude. These, the Ho-
nourable Baronet stated, went to show - what elle&
the Noble Mirquis's' conduet bad had on the Mann-
faelnres of Oude, which the Hon. Gentleman had
stated to be so great. They consisted of an extractfrom the Proceedings of the Governor and Council,
in 1803, containing a letter (from the Hot). Gentle-
man hirriself) signed " James Paull," dated sth De-
cember, 1802; in which certain compliments are
paid to the Governor-General, wherein it is said,
that no person ever applied to him in vain; and of
the Answer to that
,Letter, by the Secretary to the
Governor-General, dated 10th March, 1803.
-Mr: PAULL stated, that at the date. of the answer
he was six- weeks on his return to England. He un-
doubtedly had expressed that he had great grievances •
to complain of, and that he did feel himsellf greatly
aggrieved.
The Motion was agreed to, and a return, as to ,
certain other Papers on the same subje&, was order-
ed to be made forthwith. •

' The foreign Thread Lace Bill went through a
Cotrnittee, and the Report was ordered to be re-
ceived to-morrow.

ASSESSED TAXES

Ou the Motion of Lordliaxav PETTY, the House
went into a Committee on the General Assessed Tax
6i, when his Lordship moved that a sum not exceed-
l.ig 41. per Cent. per Annum, on the Assesed Taxes,
be allowed to every person having more than two
.children born in lawful wedlock, assessed under that
Mt in. a sum under 401. per annum, and who were
bona fide , burdened with the maintenance of such
chddren.
TIVSKISSON wished to know if the allow-
ance was meant to be permanent, or temporary, that
is to say, only to be a mitigation of the severities of
the Plopeity Tax. • If the former, he did not think
it went far enough, but must extend an immense
deal beyOnd " what the Noble Lord .had proposed.
for instance, to the Stamp Duties, which were also
admitted to be severely felt. If we once admitted
such a prim iple; there was no stopping, and it
wonld lead to a. latitude which the Country could not
admit of; and the very circumstance, too, which en,.
titled a person to the exemption, would operate as a
bar to 'his partiCipating of its benefits. The largeness
of a man's family might, in many instances,.particu-
larly if, from 'his situation in the world, he was
obliged to keep a male servant, compel him to oc-
cupy a house the' taxes on which, in window and
House duty, &e. would amount to more than 401.
per annum. It would be absurd to think, that a
pet son in this situation should be deprived of the be-
Petit of the e4emption proposed by the Noble Lord,
while, to make it more effeEtnal and equally avail--
able to all, it would be iicessary that a particular'
law should be enaPed for every family in the king-
dom.

Lord HENRY PEY'TY stated, that the exemp.
tion had been pro Posed as a relief from the general
burden'of ,taxati,-in. to which it had been foundne!.
cessary to resort. Wbether that relief should be
perrnan‘eut, or onlytempbrary„ it was not for him
fo say, that must depend on che. opinion 'et the
House at a future, period.: to the last objeetio.i
cf the Hun. Gentleman; he had only to obsery.6,

that the case to which he had alluded was tit pcin-
cipall)i in view when the exemption in.question was
propsse&

Mr—Hu.siissoN and Lord Hay PETTY ag3in
eichaiiged-a few words.. • •

Mr. \lrtizzarottcz _expressed his preference to
the exemption now proposed to any which could
have been given under the Property Tax, in so far as
a man haying a large family was by that very cir-
cumstance obliged to contribute in a greater, degree
to the Aisessed Taxes.

In answer to a question' from • Mr. "Haskisson,
Lord Henry Petty estimated this allowance at
t 00,0001. •

SLAVE TRADE.
Mr. Secretary FOX,rase, agreeable to notice,' to
submit to the House a Resolution declaratory of their
sense of the injustice, inhumanity, and irapolicy of
the Slave Trade.' Before, however, he went into
any statement of the grounds on which . he with
confidence looked for the -ahnost unanimous coun-
tenance of the House in thii measure; he felt him-
self called on to state in a few words his own apo-
logy for being the person by whom such a Motion
Should be made. This subject had been roeatedly
brought forward, year after year, for the last 16 or
17 yearS, by a respectable Member of this House,
than whom no man, either from his talents, elo-
quence, zeal in the cause, or, from the estimation in
which
,he was held in that House, or in the Coun-
try, could be better qualified for the task: In such
hands he • had found the business, and there he
would willingly have left it. His own opinion was,
that it could have been better that that Honourable
Friend 1:;f his had Made the present Motion, or such
other Motion as he would have wished on the sub.
jeer, and to which he could not have doubted that he
should have had the support of him (Mr. Fox) and
his friends: A. strong opinion however had pre-
vailed with his-Honourable-Friend, . and with those
with whom he was conneded, that all circumstances
considered it would be better thal the business should
originate with him (Mr. Fox). He had yielded
his own opinion on this subjeet to that of his Hon.
Friend and those who a&ed with him—and, how-
ever certain persons might be inclined to consider
and to represent it as a fanciful theory, he had no
hesitation in declaring, that he should esteem his
political life of 30 or 40 years well spent if be
should be so fortunate as to comeass the end to which
his present Motion waSdireaed. Having explained.
so far, he should go -on to state those circumstances
which seemed to him to warrant the Motion which
he had to make, so far as he should feel' it necessary.
He could not, in doing so, commence without ob-
serv:ng, that he was happy to say, that Whatever
difficulties had occurred in that ,House with respe&
to the Abolition of the SlaVe Tratle, the opinion of
the House, he should not say unanimous, but as
nearly so as well could be recorded by the Resolu-
tions of the House itself, was, that the Slave Trade
was contrary to justice, humanity, and sound policy.
As had been well remarked by a great man, now
no more, but whose opinions, wherever' justice or
any moral feeling was interested, would long be re-
membered with pride and veneration (Mr. Burke),
it was not a traffic in the labour of man, but in man
himself, and was calculated- to keep down and de-
base .humanity. He should not enter into the argu-
ments adduced by some Gentlemen who had sup-
:ported the Trade, who alledged that the crime (if
crime it was) was not imputable to those who em-
barked in the Trade. froin this Country; that the
persons whom they carried off were Slaves before,
condemned as such on account of offences -com-
mitted by them. Such arguments, he said, was
only adding- hypocrisy to the lust of gain, and at-
tempting to vindicate what was contrary to nature.
Supposing the persons alluded to have been legal-
ly rendered Slaves, was the British Government to
sanaion, and British Ships and Seamen to con-
du& the Police of the African Monarchs, !—Such
an idea, he submitted, was only one of the many
instance's, how far the luSt of gain could pervert.
human reason. Except the, opinion of the Hon.
General opposite (though he rather believed he was
not so loud in his defence of the. Trade On the broad
principle of humanity), and an illustrious Friend of
his in' the -other • House, who thought the Trade so
proper, that if it should be discontinued, a bounty'
ought to be given to encourage its .revival, he was
inclined to think that he had no very determined
Opposition'to the principle of his Motion to encoun-
ter. He should not qUote the authority of that
great man lately 'deceased (Mte Pitt), whose name
and opinion was so frequently referred to, though
he thought, if good, and to be held out for example
by his friends in a political question, it must be no
less worthy of their imitation in a moral point
,of'
view, as then their approbation would wear a less ,
suspicious appearance.. He should, however, quote
the authority of a Noble Viscount (Sisimouth), the
Speaker's predecessor, though not immediate, in
that Chair, who, while he opposed the Abolition at
the time it was originally moved, agreed in the pro-
priety of adopting it at a future period. He should
also quote the authority of another' Noble Viscount
(Melville), who, while he did at the moment all in
his power to support the Trade, proposed, as a sub-
stitute for the immediate' Abolition, Resolutions si-
milar in their terms to those which he took as the
basis of his present Motion—That the Trade was

contrary to " Humanity, Justice, and sound Policy,"
and therefore should be abolished at some future
period. He took those words rather than any other
as the basis of his Motion, hoping that he should
thereby secure .the ,concurrence of those who for-
merly themselves proposed them, and wishing as
little as possible to provoke contrariety of opinion.
The House having been uniformly of opinion, and
having so often declared that opinion, that the Trade
should be abolished, and yet having 'taken no step
to that etfe& for the last fifteen years, he presumed
would think itself called on, if from no other motive,.
from respe& to its own charaaer and reputation,
now to do something to effea" what had so often
been declared to he its opinion. If be recolle6ted
well, the period when the question of the Abolition
was first agitated was the year 1791. In the com-
mencement of the year 1792 it was much consi-
dered through the Country, where it excited: warn
feelings among the great bulk of the peOPIe. It
was tried in that House, and the question `for the
gradual Abolition was, carried. The question as to.
the period was then pqt, that it be abolished. in one;
yearthen in two years—both of which were re-
jthed ; but the proposition for abolishirg it in the
third year. Was adopted. At that
.time the greatest
enemy to the Abolition did not wish to postpone the

measure beyond the year 1800: yet new we were in
th,e‘year-1806, and no step towards this just, humane,
and politic,measure, as the House: declared it, had been
adopted. In this situation, had not the Country and the
civilized World to reproach'them with their contlud,
in allowing matters come to a situation 'much
more remote than even the enemies of the Aboli-
tion had calculated on'? Denmark had fixed on that
year as the period when .they should abolish the
Trade ; and they had been made the subje& of ridi-
cule among us for the great distance to; which they
had postponed it. How far they had given cause
for such ridicule on our: part he should not say
they had already abolished the Trade, at least among
their own subjects ;: and they had shewn, if they
could not among, others, they could at least prevent
the commission of crimes and infaMy among them-
selves. He had at one time hoped that a Bill for
the total Abolition of the Slave Trade might have
passed through both Houses of Parliament, and have
received the Royal Assent this Session. A number
of circumstances, however, and particularly the Bill
for abolishing the Trade as -to Foreign Islands,
during the discussions on which it was 'deemed ims.
proper to.introduce any measure of the kind, had,
to the 'entire convietion of his Hon,. Friend (Mr.
Wilberforce), rendered any such expectation highly
improbable. It might indeed pass this House ; but
if introduced into the House of Lords at such a pe-
riod of the Session, they would have—not a pre-
tence, but a fair reason for saying they could not
carry it through. What alternative then remained,
but .either to pass by in total silence a measure,
which for the last seventeen or eighteen years had
every year occupied the attention of the House,. or
to adopt the -plan he now proposed—to pledge the
House to the Abolition of the Trade ; not at a
given period, but at the same time at an early pe-
riod ? For this purpose his proposition should be to
leave two things open—the mode and the time..
He should however state, that for his own part, after
having considered the subje& for the last eighteen
years with every possible attention, he could con-
ceive no paa&ical mode of effe&ing the Abolition.
but by a dire& Law. As to the time, in the same
way as had happened in the year t7g?, there might
be, many opinions on this subject. Some might
think the Ist of January next the proper period—
others, one More remote. To all perseas_ of this
description be left the period of time at which the
Abolition should take place open—but declaring, at
the same' time, that it was impossible that any thing
could 'shake him in the opinion of the necessity of
an immediate Abolition. He had heard a great deal
of noise, made as if the Trade had been already
knocked up by Bills formerly-passed in that House;
yet these very measures were afterwards applauded
as being the greatest benefits to the Trade, by the
persons who had-formerly so loudly declaimed against
them. He had also lately been given to cinder=
stand, that the Trade was now completely annihi-
lated by the passing the Adt for preventing the Fo-
reign Trade. All he asked was, that the Dealers
would set their names, tot his fad, and decline the Trade.
He was afraid though the A& last passed had done
a great deal, it had only effe&ed the one-half of the
objea, and had left a germ from which the whole
might again spring up. The ruin of the West In-
dies, too, was alledged by some as the necessary
consequence of the abolition. On- this point he
begged to refer them to the Speech of the same
Right Hon... Gentleman to whom he had already al-
luded (Mr. Burke), at least to some thing in print
which gave an idea, though a 'very faint one, of his
most eloquent Speech on this subje&`-t; but which
to have heard, eloquent, argumentative and con-
vincing as it was;.--unanswered and unanswerable,
must have carried conviction tb every breast; that
it was impossible to say that the interests of the
West Indies could be hi any degree dialed ; if the
Slave Trade were abolished, experience sheaved that
the contrary would be the fat. In America the
increase of
,the Blacks fully equalled that of the
Whites, and had doubled within the last nineteen
or twenty years. This he should not say was a'
damning but a blessed proof of the fallacy of such
'assertions., There was every ground to 'hope that
the increase would equal every thing which, could
be desired, and would lead to such a gradual and
prudent emancipation as would uitimately place the
West Indies on the very surest and best foundation. •
hoped that in such'a case'as this the memory of
the Right Hon. Gentleman' lately deceased (Mr.
Pitt), so often quoted, would: not be forgotten by
his friends, who would show an equal regard to his
opinions on this 'subject as on others, _and would
thereby evince that it was not merely in opposition
to thoSe who now filled his situation, that his senti-
ments were so often referred to. The different pro-
ceedings held in the course of the Motions for the
Abolition of the Slave Trade were then read, and
Mr. Fox concluded by moving a Resolution, That
the House, conceiving the African Slave Trade'to
be contrary to justice, humanity, and sound policy, .
will, as early as possible, take such effeetual, mea-
sures for its abolition as may seem to them to be
most proper.

-Sir RALPH MILBANIt had been uniformly of
Opinion that the Slave Trade was a•ruinous and de-
struaive traffic, that it was contrary.to every prin-
ciple of sound policy, justice and humanity, as had
been stated by the Honourable Secretary in a much
more able manner than he could do. He was happy
to say that the majority of his constituents concurred
with him in these sentiments. He was persuaded
that the cultivation of the Colonies could be very
well carried on without any fresh importation of
Slaves, and concluded, by seconding the Motion.

Genend TARLETONexpressed his surprize that
this measure should be proposed at this time, after
the question had been agitated for these seventeen
or eighteen years, and still negatived. He adverted
to the circumstances under which this measure had
been first brought before the House. It was in
time of peace and.-prosperity,, and it was certainly
very extraordinary that after having, been lost then
it should be brought forward ,now when we were
at war, and when our. Commerce was so much
cramped. £he Right. lion. Secretary had com-
mended the pers6erance of the Hon. Gentleman on
the same bench With him (Mr. Wilberforce) on this
topic. That ‘Hon. Gentleman had certainly been
eloquent upon. it, and so 'persevering that upon
3.o4iitevcr subje he spoke he started as if he had
seen a ghost, and I.ltroduced the Slave Trade. As
to tl.e. allusion to the opinions expressed upon the
alterations in the Slave 'aide, he was sure that the
TeophAof Liverpool, and those who were against the

Abolition, had too much sense to confound 1! boll tion with Alterations. He then adverted to the ef-
. feel the Abolition of the Trade would have upon
Liverpool., This town had risen from a mere fishing
hamlet to be the second in the Kingdom', principally
by means of the Slave Trade. Its prosperity had
been coeval with its engagement in that Trade. The
Ministry had already dealt very hardly with the Li-
. verpool Merchants in passing the Restriktion Bill
upon this point, and paralyzed their exertions. Bat
if the Slave Trade were abolished, it would go near
to ruin. the town; That town paid near three mil-
lions sterling into the Exchequer annually. It af-
forded more Seamen for the Navy than any two
cities in the kingdom, except London : all this would
be lost by the Abolition. His Constituents in case
of Abolition,.- must have Compensation, and a large
one, as the Ships employed for the Slave Trade were
so constructed as.n6t to be fit for any thing else.—
Taxes must be .paid during the War, and if the
Mercantile Interest should be thus reduced, they
would fall on the Landed Interest, so that you must
have a defalcation of revenue or an ignominious
Peace. The Trade had been carried on from the
reign of Queen Elizabeth, under the sandion of
Parliament, and its Abolition would occasion much
public as well as private distress.
Mr. FRANCIS observed, that. certainly the Con-
' stituents of the Hon. General had a right to petition
for compensation if they pleased---but, at the same
time, he Would not be very Willing to give compen-
sation for the loss of a trade Which was declared to
be contrary to humanity, justice, and sound policy.
He had always supported the principle of Abolition,
and every Plan that tended to that object, from
whatever quarter it came. But he had some doubts
as to the efficacy' of such a Resolution as the pre-
sent, when he considered that the Resolution of
1702, which was much more specific, had not been
a&ed upon. He thought that it would be of no use
unless followed up immediately by a Bill for the
Abolition. He contended that it was not too late for
this, as. the subjeft bad been already so much dis-
cussed. Without this the Resolution would have lit-
tle crap effekt.
LOrd CAST LEREAGH would not detain the
House long, but contended that it would have been
better to have proposed a distinkt measure, rather
than ,such a vague, general; and unintelligible Re-
solution as the present. He admitted that the na-
ture of the trade was bad ; but it was an evil that
could not be remedied, at least not -by the mode of
an immediate abolition. But, although he totally
disagreed with the Mover of the Resolution in point
of policy, yet he might concur in the Resolution,
if one word were struck out of it; so that this
was doing nothing. It was,. besides, indecorous to
send a Resolution of this sort. to the House of Peers, as
they must decide upon it without having an opportu-
nity ofmaking those inquiries which they might think
necessary in order to give a prudent opinion on such.
a question. When he came to the consideration of this
subject, he certainly did so with a great many advani-
tage€, on account of the light which bad been pre..
viously thrown upon it. He had studied it thorough-
ly, and would, perhaps, at first have been induced
to concur in the Abolition. But, however, he had,
upon a mature examination, been convinced that
the immediate and dire& abolition was improper.—.
On this point; "and on this point only, he had differ-
ed from a Right Hon. Friend of his, now no more,
and as he had differed with him while he was alive
it was too much to expeft that he should adopt his
opinions on this head. The-Slave Trade was an evil
that could not at present be separated from. human
nature. He understood that the Hon. Gentleman on
the bench near him (Mr..ilberforce) intended to
move that an address shout a be presented to his Ma-
jesty to negotiate with other Powers for the abolition
of this traffic. He thought that from what was known
of the policy of France, Spain, and Portugal, it could -
never be expeded that they would concur. The per-
son at the head of the French Government would turn
such a proposal into ridicule. If we gave up the trade?
others would take it up, and the consequence would be
the loss of our Colonies and a serious blow to our
National and Naval interests. , But he.thought that
We ought to adopt on this point the same policy that
we often adopted at home, and that was to impose
duties upon the Importation of Slaves till they gras
dually amounted to a, prohibition. Nothing could
be done unless the Colonists were induced to concur
in any measure that alight be adopted to lead to the
ultimate abolition of this traffic. He expressed
again his disapprobation of this Resolution, on the
grounds of being so vague an e:
The SOLICITOR GENERAL would have pre-
ferred a distin& Bill for the immediate Abolition of
the Slave Trade ; but, however, as from circum-
stances that could not be brought forward, he would
support the Resolution, which, he contended, was
perfe&ly plain and intelligible. The circumstance
which, in his opinion, disgraced the conduit of the
House on this point was, that with all the evidence
of, rapine, robbery, and murder which accompanied
this trade, on their Table, they still .sOffereci the
trafficto exist. But even if the Trade could he
proved to be. of great advantage to this Country, he
would ask any Gentleman whether the debts of Eng.
land were to be paid with the blood of Africa ?

General GASCOYNE opposed the Resolution, on
the grounds that it was proposed at a very improper.
period, when our sources of revenue ought rather to
be encouraged than depressed. He expressed some
doubts as to the right of this Country to legislate on
this subjeet for the Colonies. He insisted that the
Slave Trade was a thing that could not be separated"
from the lot of a man, and that it had been encou-
raged by the most pious and wisest Legislators, and
was even sanctioned by religion. To prove this he
read a passage from the Book of Leveticns, where
the Israelites are direCted to make bondrnen of those
whose country they were .to possess. He had the
authority of Moses on this subjed. He likewise ad-.
verted to the effea of the trade on the prosperity of -
Liverpool, in much the same terms as General Tar 7
leton.

Mr. IVILIi,ERFORCE adverted to the manner
in which the Hon. General had introduced the seri-
ouS subject of religion, but what he had said on this
head deserved no answer. If the Hon. General had
really thought that such a traffic as this was sanc-
tioned by our reliaion, he would have pitied bis ig-
norance, and enZeavoured to set him right.' He
would have proved to him, that its principles were
totally adverse to it in whateVer way it could be
viewed ; that mildness and humanity were the doe.
trine:.: which it inculcated ; and that it estaWished

the rights ofjustiCeand charity on'the
dation, byleachingirs-to6b to, others wharwe, would
wish others sheisld do,tous, The arguments Of the
Noble LOU.- near 'him, hoWever, •were aornething
more.WorThy a attention. If he had erred' in his
mode Of managing thiS business, he certainly bad great
'authorities on his side, for almost all the liblest men
in the House agreed with him in this, when -they could
not agree on anyithingelse. The Noble I,ord had ex=
pressed his dislike of the traffic in itself. But be had
been cheered by those who supported the pelicy and
justice of the trade, as if they were sensible that they
knew him -better than he knew himself. They
knew, that whatever the Noble Lord'S feelings
,on
the'subjea might be, he would support. their views.•
If the Noble .Lord had not declared:that he had
studied the qUestion thoroughly, he.would have been
opt to'suppose that he had not studied it at all, as
he‘-seemect to have forgot all the principal points on.
which the question rested. As•ro the duties proposed
by his Noble Friend, he believed these would have
had very little effea, for- the increased price of
• Slaves had by no means diminished the trade. 'His
Noble Friend said, , that it would be necessary to_
have the co-operation of the Colonies, otherwise the
plan could not be carried into effe&. This was' not
the case. The powers of -the:proper 'Officers were
sutlicient for preventing the importation of goods.
from America, and these ',might be smuggled much
more easily than Slaves.' As 'to the co-operation of
• the Colonies in any plan 'for the abolition of the trade
it was chimerical to . iud rle any expectation of this
sort. His Majesty had made a proposition to the Co
lortists to consider of:measures-for the arrieliOrat'iOn
,of the conditibn of -the Slaves with a view to the
abolition of the trade. Many of them had frankly
declared that
,they would do nothing with a view to,
the abolition of this trade, which they considered as
their birth-right. This frankness, however, was more
agreeable than the condual of those who appeared to
fall in with'their designs merely to blind them. The
Governor of Dominica (Prevost) .had been -written
to to-know what had been done there respeiiting the
business, and it appearedirom his answer that there
bad been no intention to do any thisig in the matter,
and that the seemingacquiescenceat first had been in-
tended merelyto blind the Legislatureof this Country,
After thiS it \vas somewhat trying to one's .patience
to hear of the concurrence of Colonists.. 'When
the atiothinations of the traffic were first brought to
light, the impression was such that it seemed to
drown other considerations. But self-interest was
'cool and calculating, and even conscience was some-
times blinded by it. In 1792, three hundred Mem-
bers had voted for the gradual Abolition, against
eighty-three, and most of those still allowed the
abum:nable nature of the trade, but staid away un-
der _various pretences. He was sorry that there
were so many instances of this sort of, conduct.
Resolution, however, would aflbrd these Gen-
tlemen an opportunity-of rescuing theinselves from .
such inconsistency. As to the plan of a Resolution,
a Bill would have beetiMore agreeahle to hint; but
as he had understood, from those who had the best
means of knowing, that it was too late this Session
to bring in a Bill, he had concurred in the pro-
priety of the Resolution. The filet was, that a Bill
would be too late for the other House; which had
not rejee-ted the last
,Bill that had gone to them on
this subjed, on its own merits;- but because it
had gone to them tdo late: .- Evert in this House
it would- have been difficult to have proCUred a full
attendance. As to the time,-n6 time Could be im-
proper for doing an ata of justice.- The policy of
continuing this trade was very short-sighted, as Pro-
vidence had never united sound policy with
,injus-
tice; and every system-founded on, injustice and in-
humanity
was rotten to the- very core. 'The late
Chancellor of the Frschequer had proVed. that the
population of the Colbnies might be maintained
.without new importations. As to raising population
by means of duties, it was absurd. The greatprinci-
ple of human nature would, -if aaed upon, answer
the purpose better. The Proper mode was the kind
treatment of the Slaves, 'and thiS would be strongly
promoted by the Abolition.
Sir- IV YOUNG disclairried the support of the
Noble Lord opposite, who hadgiven up a great deal
More than he could do- on the question.' He con-.
tended strongly,against the Abolition; on the grounds
that- it led to emancipation,- and that it would occa-
sion.mdch bloOdshed among the Africans, if imme-7
diately carried into execution.

Lord H. PETTY wished shortly to state his opt,
nion on this subje&, as he bad not before had an op.;
portunity of doing so. A Bill for the Abolition
would have given him more's'atisfae-tion, but as that.
could not be expeeted, he perfealy aneurred in the
Resolution of his Right Hon. Friend, Which was, that
after it had been decided in 1792; that the traffic
should be given up in 1796, we should now in 1806
pais a vote pledging the House to proceed in, the
business as soon as possible. It could not be inde-
corous to send such a Resolution to the other House,
as -we could not affirm that their opinion was con
trary to our own, as tar as this Resolution went.
As to his own opinion of the traffic, he was per-
fe6.lly-satisfied that it was contrary to every principle
of justice, of humanity, arid-
.sound policy. It be-
gan in robbery, in rapine, and murder.;and the cru-
eltiei of the Middle Pas'sage were perpetrated in a
distant scene. About oite half _ of the Slaves Were
sometimes lost on the passage, and the trade was, of
all others, the most destructive to the British Sea,
men,, for often one-sixth.of the whole crew perished
in it. • It rendered the very persons by whom it was
carried on most deplo-rably vicious. This was the
cause that population was net kept up.
_Population
would always .keep. close to th.-. 3 means of Subsist-
ence, except obstructed by vice . and, misery.—
The vices of the West Indies, by putting an
end to all the domestic charities, and all, idea of do-
mestic virtue of course, obstrilded- the. population.
There were no hopes of coneuftence, on the Tart of
the Colonists. With rogard to the propositions to
Foreign Powers, he was less disposed to rail with
vulgar scurrility at the Chief of the French Govern,
iuezit than many others ; but he would not bend
so far to his opinions as to refrain from making what
he thought a proper proposal, merely because Bo-
naparte might happen. to think it ridiculous.
• Mr. ROSE obje&ed to the tine at which • this
Resolution was proposed.. He was an int-
Mediate abolition, but m'ould have concurred in any
reasonable. and gradual projeCt.- He , bad proposed
that of dutieS until they amounted • to a., prohibition ;
tut that had Pot- 151.;en listened to: 'He had differed
from his late Right Hon; Friend on' this POint, and
also ohParliarnbntary Reform : -It' \(,,aS n:.A to be ex-,

puled. than 11'0V Concur in the Ttesohition.
merely from respe.6 to his roernory.- He had' evc'n
proposed to quit his situation, lest his Hon. Friends
sincerity should be flUeStiolled 'ol.lt had.:notl)ee..p
lowed., He would-oppose iinniediate abolition, be,-
cause it; led to -'emancipation '; 'and the Noble Lord
seemed to have that in contemplation.
Lord HENRY PETTY, in explanation, said, that ho
never had such.a wildidea as thai immediate eman-
cipation should take place.
-8A.R114111 observed, .that .if we did abo-
lish this abominable trade, we Should, one and all
declare that we would contribute -towards rendering
compensation to the parties injured. The idea of
there being any difficUltr in the smuggling of Ne-
groes, he cOnceived to be one of the most absurd
•that could be entertained in the mind of any rational
man, If we were to lay out alMost the whole Navy.
,of England fonthat purpose, we would still find that
cargoes_ of Slaves would be landed in spite of our
most vigilant exertions to .prevent such a praaice.
He was convinced that nothing' could be more de-
sirable than the:emancipation of the Negroes, whew
it could with safety be effected ; but at' present he
was equally well, assured that it would be almostim-..'
possible to bring • their minds to -bear the change.;
however, in process of time, it might probably be
brought about. •
Sir, JOHN NEWPORT declared, in the most
unequivocal terms,' that he Would venture to
,assure
the House, and he believed without the.hazard of a
single contradi6tion; that every City, Town, or other
Disp-ja,, within that part of the United Kingdom
winch he had the honour tnrepresent; was unani-
mous in the detestation Of this trade, which was car-
ried on by fraud; 'oppression,. and by blood: If a
duty was to be 'laid on a limited firitnber, it would
be more liable to smuggling than if there existed a
downright prohibition of the trade; for a Ship might
hover about a Port, and say, if she was seen, that
she intended to•pay, whereas, if the traffic was pro-
hibited above a certain number, it would make the.
ship and cargo liable to confiscation.

Mr. CAI NEVGexpressed some surprize at the
question,not having been brought on as soon as the
present Ministers came into office, as it was impos-
sible, in the hisfory of Parliament, to find a period
that for such a length of time there was so little bu-
siness done as within these feW months past.
Mr.. W. SMITH expressed his decided opinion
that emancipation never, was intended by the aboli-
tionists. From an official document he proved that.
no attention Was paid,to the morals 'of the Slaves ;
and the trade was- now got into such gengradisre-
pine- that he lielieved there Were some of the
most respeEtable . merchants in Liverpool itself, that
-wer..3 as anxious that the :stain of trading in our fel,
low men should ,be washed out of The charaeer. of
Liverpool, as any-Gentleman. in that House could
be, that such a reflection should no longer be suf-
fered to exist upon the charaater of the Nation.

IVIIVDit/11111 assured the House, that, at pre-'
sent he wished nothing more than the Abolition of
the 'Slave Trade.; -when a proper period, however,
should arrive; and that the concurrence of other
Powers should be obtained, he wOuldnot hesitate to
say,. that Slavery itself Ought not to be sufiered to
remain among the institutions of any Civilized-State.
Mr. FoX 'explained some pOints..whicli an HO-
nourable General (Tarleton) opposite had mis-
taken.' • In this Session, he might be allowed to add,
he wouldendeavour to obtain the assent of the Lords
to the Proposition
.which he had stated.. The pure dic-
tates of Christianity, which-had already contributed
more than any thing else towards the Abolition, might
afterwards lead to a grand and prudent emancipation.
The trade at least was such as every principle Of jus-
tice would induce us to, abolish; whatever might be
the inconvenience to which it would subject US. The
concurrence of America was certain, if not itnthedi-
ate., and no other Power was so well situated for the
carrying on of this nefarious traffic, if even they
were-inclined to take it up.after we had abolished it.
The question was then put, and the numbers
were—

For /he Motion i t4--Against it i —Majority 99.

On re-entering the Gallery, after it had been clear-
ed as usual for the division, we found Mr. Fox mov-
ing, That a conference be desired with the Lords on
'a•subjed that is particularly conneeled with the ho-
,notir and liumanity.of the Nation.—Carried nenz . con.

Thd following intelligence was this morning re-
ceived,at LLOYD'S: •

By some PaSsengers who landed at Weymouth
from the Fleet which has arrived' from the Cape,
we learn, that they heard on their passage that JE-
ROME BONAPARTE had, With hiS Squadron, put into
St. Salvador, having last :nearly half his men by
sickness."

. WE this morning received Jamaica Paters to the
27th April.' The Atlas, of 74' guns; aila another:
Man of War, sailed
,from POrt Royal on the 2d,' and
from Port Antonio on the Bth April, "with the
Fleet under convoy for Great Britain, consisting
of about 100 Soil, and on the 14th we're about.ioo
leagues from the N.E. end of Jamaica, with the
wind at N. anda heavy sea; a number of Privateers
were cruizing off Jamaica. The Mediator- Man of
War, with the Fleet under convoy, from Cork, ar—
rived there on the 26th.

The Duke of Kent Packet, with a Mail, from Fal•
mouth, arrived on the 27th.

WE received this morning the Leyden Paper of
the 6th inst. and also a private Letter dated the 7th,
which states, that the Grand Pensionary SCHIII-
MELrENNINCK has given in his resignation ;' it is
therefore probable that the Proclarriation of King
