SLAVE TRADE.

Mr. WlLar-nFoacE, after-adverting to the feel-
ings entertained by the King of France iu favour
inf the Abolition of the Slave Trade, wished to
know whether. the Noble Lord opposite intended
in my future arrangement to press this sulaject.
It had, been said. that pressing it on former oc-
casion might have been injurious to 14 Royal
Cause in the sea-ports of France, but affairs were
now much altered in that view of the case. ,
Lord CASTLEREAGH saki, no exertion should be
•tvanting to carry into execution the wishes of
Parthonenti which had "been 's6 distinctly pro-
nounced. The question was at present strength-
env(' by circumstances. Government had.mot ne-
glected it. Communications had been made on
the subject, and be had skingnine hopes of the de-
sired res

The County Bridge Bill went through the Co:n-

Mr. ilitoGnr.N brought up the Report of the
Compittee-ot Supply.
Lord J. RUSSELL. Objected to the principle of
Op! war. He did •see What right kve had to
attempt to force Bonrbons on the people of
ll'yance. Even admitting tine overwhelming power
tvt France, if Bunn-a-parte couti:uueil at her head,
we, from our own situation, were safe. • •

Mr. J. GRANT could not see the justice or
the policy of the war. We went to war with a
deficit in our finance amounting to 45 millions a,-
year, and how long 'could the country support a
war in which that deficit would heyearly encreas-
ing. The safety of the. Country Would be a justi-

was On his enlistment; and the remainder
on his return, which made it very improbable that
he would not return, as thereby hekwouldforfeit
much the greater part of the bounty.
Sir NEWrORT said; that there was nOthing
to prevent a man from enlisting into three or tour
different regiments.
Mr. GORDON. o,:wlid wish to know whether, as
we were now catering into a neW war, there was
any attewiai paid to 'the improvement of the
,Commisariat. In the late war in Spain, Govern
ment paid at least double as much for most articles
as private rlsndivichials did.
The CHANczt.Lort. of the EXCHEQUER said, that
this subject had long I ,ccupi'ed the .attention of
Governnient. In Spain there had been difficulties
to contend with, which they would he free from
the present tvar. In a country so exhausted and
so uncultivated as Spain was, .where the catriage
%vas so long and so difficult, and where there was
so little commercial intercourse,' there could not
but have been a much greater proportiOnal exnence
than would 'be necessary in the seat of the present
war, where none at those Obstacle's existed.
Ur. BARING said, that the entire stein of the
.Commissariat was Wrong, and that therefore it
ougft to he remodelled. We sli:)old have paid
ready money in Sp.titi; but paper was paid to the
most ignorant people in the•,vorld, who did not
give above one-third or fourth of the value for it.
lie had heard, that our ComMissariat
up guineas to send them abroad, and he wished
to know, from the Right Hon. Gentleman, whe-
ther it was true ? • _

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHFCIUER said, this
At-as a mnost gross - calumny, and thimt, it he h a
heard,of any such thing, he would be the first to
prose.ce•te time offender. .
Sir JOHN NF.WpOKT hoped that there would he
some provision for billetting the Militia in e-
land.

Lord PALMERSTON would wish the Right Hon.
Baronet would point'out the provisions he would
wish to be adopted.
Sir JouN.NEWPORT thought that there should
be a separate B it for billetting, and that the tnea-
sureishould-not be included in the Mutiny Act,.

•
Mr. PEELS said that Government had wished to
nssimilate the law of billettitig in 41relaad to that
of England, butt hat it had been found impossible
from-the small 'number' of public honses in that
country. There was 311. a night allowed as a
compensation for billetting. The several Resolu-
tions were agreed to;
