had fallen.from the 'Hon. and I rned Gentleman opposite (Sir
J. Mackintosh.) He remembered, however, having once heard
the Hon. and Learned Gentleman say that a great difference
subsisted between the treatment of slaves in the 'East and West
Indies :- that in the former their treatment was purely domestic,
as they were, in fact, reckoned more like a part of the family than
unnecessarily harassed ; while in the latterthey were kept under
the o . :of a set of inexorable task masters.against

better he
could quote other, and with reference to this subject,

of the account of the state of the slaves in those parts

tirin

' a long extract from Dr. Buchanan's book,: which described
e absolute and rigid discipline exercised over slaves, the right
of Property in which they were held, and the mode of , selling

deinonstration while the Honourable arid Learned Gentleman's
AcThere of observation respecting the state of slaves must have

nn-eY ad been told a great deal of the inactivity of some of the
{-4,'''engaged in the Congress of Vienna to put down thie
taue ; hut they had not heard that the Emperor of Russia,
whose philanthropy was said to be so unbounded, had actually
tgoiv„tn trie roonbpoly of the sugar supply of his extensive empire
.I_,-7.pain and:Portugal, the two powers who were,said to be so
'eeply agedeng in this traffie.—(Hear !)—By the Russian ti.riff
last d difference of Ms. per cwt. was made against the
sugar clayed in Certain places, die effect of which duty was to
throwtff tli monopoly into the. hands of Spain and Portugal. The
Lii!i„o-,-),,,
was said to have been issued as a sort of retaliation against
cent. •transit duty on foreign litien ; and the reason
--"wed for the distinction was, that Spain and Portugal took
a gr,iater proportion of Russian linen in payment for their sugars,
Ita
than •iva.s taken elsewhere. He believed, from what he had
tt.?q, that they would find it difficult to make the Emperor of
a"la revoke his tariff, notwithstanding the high -ideas they
entertained of the propriety of his policy ; and he also thought
that tie late affair in the Rio Pongas was little calculated to
lnlprzss the natives with a just idea of British forbearance and
!fl!orreration. -He did not like to propose an amendment to the

ttority for saying that the slave trade was now carrying on at
au-
the eastern coast of Africa by the Portuguese, with unceasing
rril,,eltY, and in a manner not exceeded by that in which the
ic, had been conducted upon the western coast.—(Hear.)—
