THE SLAVE RRADE.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from a gen-
tleman in reference to the affairs of John Sadleir, com-
plaining that if a bill now before their lordships was
passed he would be deprived of certain•rights. The noble
and harced lord presented a petition in favour of the Oaths
bill, a`nd also one against the revival of the African
slave trade, and proceeded to call the attention of their
lordships to an order said to have been given by the
Emperor of the French to a certain house at
Marseilles to fit out an Expedition, having
for its object the importation of 10,000 free negroes,
ac they were called, into the French colonies. The first
Napoleon had taken the most active steps to re-
press the borrid traffic throughout his dominions.
He could hardly think that the present Em-
peror would depart from the course pursued by
his uncle. He trusted that her Majesty's Govern-
ment would adopt the most energetic measures to
induce the new Government of the Havattnah to put
down the slave trade, as he was rejoiced to see the Bra-
Tian Government had done. He trusted the Emperor of
the French would do all in his power to discourage any
attempt to revive the sldve trade at Marseilles, which
was not4rious some years ago for the activity with
which it carried on the slave trade. _

The Earl of CLARENDEN entirely concurred in the
observations of the noble and ls”.rned hid on the sub-
ject. He had seen an account in the newspapers that

it was the intention of certain parties to import a large
quantity of free negroes into the Freneh
Hie noble friend had received a deputation on the
subject of the imprtation of free negroes, and they
were told that the Government could not approve of such
a proceeding. He believed that several bona fide attempts
had been made to introduce free negroes into the colonies,
but it was considered by the British Government
that such attempts if euccessful, would only lead to an
extension of the slave-trade. With respect to the cir-
cumstances mentioned by the noble lord about a certain
house at Marseilles, the Government had received no
official intelligence on the subject. He therefore could
give his nobls and learned friend no positive informs
lion on the point.
