SLAVE .TRADE

LOH GRENVILLE rote to call. their Lordships'
attention to the subject of thct African Slave Trade.
It had been for some time his intention to propose
to the House as agree to an Address, to the Prince
Regent, requesting his Royal Highness; in the
course of the negociations for thq restaration of a
general Peace, to use his •endeavOurs to pro Cure
from the Allied Sovereigns; and whatever other
Potters might be parties to the negociations, a
renunciation of the African Slave Trade. He had
delayed it till now, however, in consequence of an
understanding that a similar proposition was to
be moved in the other House, and then .to be sent
pp to their Lordships for their concurrence.• It
appeareil that the matter had there'taken a d
rept course, from sonic objection in point of-form,
he belieVed._ He therefore thought it right to:de-
lay his proposition no longer, being most anxious
to obtain their Lordships' concurrence in-a Reso-
lution which, he -trusted, would be unanimously
adopted,/ as it had been unanimously agreed to
in•theiother House. It would be a libel on their
Lordships: House to imagine that they could desire
to re.nain irehind iii their exertions to promote an
object in every point of view. so desirable. It was
for this reason,- anticipating no objection front ,
any quarter, that he now gave notice that he
should to-morrow subMit a prop,osition to their
Lordships to agree to an Address of the nature
which he bad Itated. If he had thought that there
was any, likelihood of opposition, he should. cer.
tainly have conceived it hiS duty, from respect to
their Lordships, and the importance ,of the sub-
ject, to base given a longer notice; and if any
intimation should be given him that there,was any
intention in any quarter to. ppose the propositAon,
he should still give a longer notice. Nqt antici-
pating and objection, however, *tor any opposition"
which was likely to create debate, and in the
hope of an unanimous concurrence ou the part of
their Lordships, he shaitld submit the propoSi-
tion for the Addeesl to-marrow, and moved, that
the House- be summoned.

Ilolise accordingly suMmoned for to-morrow.

up to the Rouse of Lords bv the title of Baron Beresfoed.

COLONIAL OFFICES-BILL,

The order of the day for the third reading of
the Bill was read., for the purpose of postpon-
ing. it.
Mr. WHTTBREAD, having understood that the
CVdl Governor of the Peovince of Upper Canada
bad been in this;country 'for the last two years,
wished 'to know whethQ;; he retained hiS full eino-
luments?

GOULTWIIN answered, that the Civil Go•
vernor of that ColOny had come over to this.coun-
try on aleave of absence for two months.
had since applied for permission to return ; but it
Was thought better•that he should not return, as
lie would in that case-have the command of the
Militia force of the Colony, which it was mi-
ceived better to leave to the Military Officer that
now commanded.
Mr. CtiertvEv wished that the liOn. Gentleman
Gottlburn) would be.prepared by Friday, to
inform the House whether Mr. Le M achant,
lately-appointed 'to a lucrative situation in Anti-
gua, had not been. superseded in another office
by the directions of Lord Palmerston.
Mr. WHITBREAD said, that he.was not quite
satisfied with the answer he had received. If the
Civil Governor (Mr. Gore) was so unfit to cow-
mand'the Militia, as to Pe au absolute nuisance
in the Colony in times of danger, he thought 'the
appointment was .a very improperi one, and that
such a state of things ought:. not to be allowed to
continue. •

Mr. GOULLIURN said, that the Givil.Governor
had not sore than half the einbluthOlits in this
country that be would have had in Canada.
Mr. P. MOORE, after referring-to the treatment
.which Mr. Justice Thorpe •had received froth that
Governor, and to a pamphlet %Illicit had been pub-
lished, wished to be informed directly, whether
The Civil Governor (Mr. Gt;re) had not been re-
called on account of misdemeanours committed
by him

Mr. GOil;.110RN replied, " Certainly not."
The third reading of the Bill was then fixed
for Friday next. •

COLVILL4E.
•
Mr. WHITBREAD Wiol.2if to 'know whether this
man, who' had been so long cOniiiii:d in Cold
'Bath prison, bras alive and at liherivn He con-
ceived that, from the turn affairs haul lately taken,
there could be.no danger in liberating him.
WI% GOLTLBN said, that the subject-had not
been forgotten, and he had a conversation with
the .Secretary Of State about it within these few
' days. He believed the man was still alive, but
not yet liberated.
PRISONERS .6F WAR. ' *
Arr: r.TYNNE ob,served; that in former Treaties,
and particularly in 1801., there had been a stipu-
lation ft n. the discharge of rite debts contracted by
prisoners of warm this country, prior to their
embarkation, As he saw no such Article in the

late .Convention, •he wished to linOw Niliether
there would be a similar Article in the Preliminary
