SI,AVE TRADE.

The Duke of GLoucEsTER presented a Petiti:m
from the University of Cambridge, against the
revival of the. Slave Trade. Laid on the table".
Lords HoLLAND, STAN.noPE, and ERSKINE pre-
sented several Petitions from various quarters
against the revival of the Slave Trade. Laid on
the titbit.

The Duke of GLOUCESTER then presented nPe-
tition from the Q.►akerg ()Moncton and its vicinity,
also against the revival of the Slave Trade. This
Petition was addressed " to the Lords of-Parlia-
ment."

The Loan CHANCRLLOR stated, that the Peti-
Jim) had been offered before, addressed " to the
Peers of Parliament. Now, as the Spiritual Lords
were not Peers, that could .not ke considered as a
Petition addressed to the whole House. But, the
Petition was withdrawn, and -now it came with
the word ", Lords," which might include the spi-
ritual Lords, and it was only in that sense of it
that the Petition could be received.
• The Petition having been read,—.. • _

Lord ARDEN proptTsed that the words " spi-
ritual 'and temporal," shmild be added, as the
spiritual Lords were an essential cart ot the House.
The Duke of Gt.oucEsTEll thought this unne-
cessary, as :the word Lords included the whole.

Lou! ARDEN doubted whether it was so meant
by the Petitioners, and wished to put that matter
beyond a doubt.
Lords STAtinorg,IIoLLAND and LItSIRNE, con-
tended, that these Could be no reason► whatever
for any alteration, as the stile of.adciress was one
suitable to the whole llonSe ; and when that was
the case, pe,itions ought to
.be received if they
were liable to no other objection. if (Le peth ion
carne before theirs with an appropriate address,
they were not to pretend to dive into Men's minds
in order to find out objections. It ought to be
recollected, that this was a description of people
which the Legislature and Courts of Jutice had
much indulged, by taking their affirmation instead
of an oath, ei.e. They were an old and most re-.
spectable sect, and their Lordship ought to slim
them that indulgence which they *hewed to all
petitioners.
Lord
_LAUDERDALE said, that there was just as
much ground on the face of the petition to say
that it was meant to he addressed to the Spiritual
Lords only, excluding the Temporal Lords, as to
say that the petitioners intended to exclude the
Spiritual Lords.
Lord ELLENBOROVGH said that it was an appt•o-
priate stile of the House, and therefore ought to
be received.

The Lott') CHANCELLOR said that the stile was
adopted iu various Ads of Parliament, in the
Commission fur passing Bills, &c.
Lind REDESDALE also was of opinion that the
Petition was sufficiently formal.
The Archbishop of CANTEZBURY Said that. this
was an old sect which had been lunch indulged,
and which was_partieularly interested in the object
for which they petitioned. lie thought mi. the
whole that the Petition ought to be received.
Lord ARDEN then withdrew. his objection, and
the Petition was received, and laid on the table.

• Lord LIVERPOOL presented two messages from
the Prince Regent for Annuities of two thousand
pounds each for Lords Exthoutb and Comber-
mere, and expressilw a hope of their _Lordships'

to Lord Coinberuiere's Annuity, that he under-
Stood now that Lord Combermere's affairs were
not in such a situation as to, enable him to support
the title without this Annuity. . He lad, on a for-
mer occasion, stated as a reason for not proposing
an annuity for him, that he understood his fortune
to have been suffiCient without any. such giant.
