WESTANDIA COMPENSATION

Mr. IVIANNINg m)ved, that a COMllliltee be ap.
pointed for to.morrow, to inquire into the most
proper mode of making compensation to those per-
sons who should sustain injuries or hisses in conse-
quence of the Bill for Abolishing the Slave Trade.
Mr. PITT said, be should certainly object to the
Mition in its present form, because it assumed as
a princple, in the first instance, that by this ad of
jo.tice, which the House, had thought fit to adopt,
loss and injury must necessarily and of course fol.
low to 'the perr.ons concerned in the West India
14/3tie. "lhe H4Use, however, he trusted, would
not be induced to concede to such an admission ;

end aeh
it 'Ol ouTd be ttme enough for the vvisbal
#bsticeofParliament to devise compen,ation whet' °Y
special case of loss, or injury sustained, should be
fairly and actually made out. He did not mean to
argue the point now; but at all events the Motion
was informal, and he believed it would not be re-
gular to put a question upon ir, as its dirett ten-
dency was to impose a public expence upon the
Country, and it did not come recommended by
th
Crown.
Mr, BARHAM' said, that even in the very first
instance losses and injuries would be inevitably sus-
tained by persons who had formed Contra6ts and
vested Capitals in this Trade ; but it was extremely
desirable to know what would be the properesc
mode of proceeding to claim compensation ; whether
each individual injured was to make out a special case
for Parliament, or whether all collectively, for bun-,
dreds would bc injured, though the general sum
compensation might not he considerable. He wish:
also to know whether, the House having adoptea a
Bill for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, it was
to bc understood the Crown would not recommend
compensation.
/1//r. PITT said, that whether the Crown too
or would not recommend compensation, he was °e
now prepared to say; but ;he Motion for the Pr
sent was irregular. a
The E AKER corroborated this declaration, -41

declined putting the question.

Tian; Sibbald Transport Viaualier, from Admiral
.lIICIRIZ6ROUGLI'S Fleet off the Texel ; having seen
the Friends Goodwill, anothet Transport, into Yar-
mouth Roads. These vessels have completed, to
four months provisions, the Fleet of the gallant and
persevering Admiral, who has closely watched the
Dutch Coast, with unremitting zeal and attention,
since 061ober last. Various reports from Dutch
/fishermen, are. concur in stating, that the English
*ainisttr PITT'S return to power, has created con si
derable sensations in Holland ; they indeed assert,
with apparent confidence, it has influenced the Dutch
Alen of War in the Texel to mtitiny. Although little
dependence is to be placed in such reports, it is a
measure anticipated with considerable anxiety, and
Probably not very distant.

On the 4th 4:he King's Birth.day), previous to
tile. Bold quitting the Fleet, each Ship fired a Salute
of 25 guns, and displayed the Royal Standard :
their respeftive Bands of Music, at the conclusion
