Lord ; there are Paltnerstons in Congress who use the
very slme expressions.—(Laughter.) They charge their
executive with having entered, not into a treaty, but into
r. capitulation.—(llear.) They urge that, if certain do-
cuments had been produced, it is impossible that such an
engagement could have been entered into ; and we are
to recollect that it is the very treaty which, having been
negotiated and concluded by my Noble Friend, received
the cordial approbation of this House. I hope, there -
fore, that the character of the treaty will not be judged
by the representations of the Noble Lord, who is evi•
dently more mortified by it than by any other act of his
successors in office.—(Cheers.) My Noble Friend had
great difficulties to contend with, and it is not to be for-
gotten that, had the two States of Maine and Massachus-
sets withheld their assent, it might have been impossible
to have overcome those difficulties. Ido not think that
the majority of this House will lightly estimate the wis-
dom and perseverance of my Noble Friend, in concluding
such formidable differences and preserving our amicable
relations.—(Cheers.) I should like to know what we lost
by that treaty, and whether, while removing the danger
of immediate hostile collision, my Noble Friend, Lord
Ashburton, really sacrificed the honour or the interests of
his coun try ?—(Much cheering.) But there was a power in
the treaty to make joint representations to powers car-
rying on the slave- trade, and directly after the signature
of the treaty negotiations took place between Mr. Eve-
rett and my Noble Friend Lord Aberdeen on the subject;
they thought that the representations ought not to be
made simultaneously and conjointly. The subject was
considered and discussed, whether it was more likely that
a beneficial effect would be produced on Brazil and Spain
by a separate or by a joint representation. The Noble
Lord says that we wished to spare the feelings of Brazil.
That was not our object. We considered only the best
mode of effevting the end in view, and when the papers
are produced, the Noble Lord will see that we did not
spare the feelings either of Brazil or Spain. I believe,
too, that the United States were not influenced by any
desire to consult the delicate feelings of Brazil; but shat.
I said on a former day was, that this country feared that
if representations were made jointly, they would be less
effectual than if each country acted by itself. If the
Noble Lord will refer to the language used by our Mi-
nister at Rio Janeiro in denouncing the continuance of
this infamous traffic, and the connivance at it by subor-
dinate authorities in Brazil, he will not find that the
feelings of that State were consulted, but that the
strongest language was employed to force upon Brazil
the moral and political duty of strict adherence to her
treaties. These were the considerations which induced
my Noble Friend at the head of Foreign Affairs, and the
Minister of the United States, to abstain from joint re
monstrances. I have gone over, I believe, the principal
observations of the Noble Lord. I give the Noble
Lord all credit for an earnest desire, mani-
fested throughout, to abolish the slave trade,
but I do not believe that the end would be
accomplished by an assumption of power by this country
which she has no means to enforce. I allow that we
ought to make every effort consistent with actual en-
gagements and the law of rations to compel other coun-
tries to put an end to this traffic. I would use every
persuasion, and urge every motive for concurrence with li
us in this undertaking ; but I doubt whether our diffi-
culties, instead of being diminished, would not be in-
creased, if we were to place ourselves decidedly in the
wrong, even in enforcing the admitted rights of humanity.
If it could be substantiated, if it could be shown that we
are indifferent to the suppression of this monstrous evil,
so degrading to civilised nations, I should deeply regret
that Ministers had laid themselves open to just censure ;
and in such a case no condemnation could hardly be too
severe for the Government of a country which had made
such sacrifices for the suppression not only of the slave
trade, but for the abolition of slavery.—(Cheers.)
Lord PALMERSTON said that he never meant to
argue that the Government should violate the law of
nations. What he meant to say was, that there were
treaties, if properly carried into eflect, which would put
an end to the slave trade altogether.
Mr. P. HOWARD deprecated any difference being
made between any Foreign States. He hoped in the
next session some measurres would be adopted by which
the impolitic course that had hitherto been pursued
would be avoided.
The House then went into Committee, and upon
The vote of 129,0921. for the salaries of Admiralty
officers,

Mr. HAWES objected to the vote. He had the au-
thority of Colonel Maberly in stating that nothing could
be more incorrect than the Post-office return which was
laid on the table of the House. The return, was as yet
unexplained by the Government.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that the Honourable Gentleman called for an explana-
tion of the account with respect to the Post-office revenue.
He could, however, satisfy the House that the return
was not open to the objections of the Hon. Gentleman.
When it was first presented to Parliament, and when he
(the Chancellor of the Exchequer) sat on the ether side
of the House, he stated that the real revenue was very
small, if they deducted the whole expense of collecting
that revenue. After making that statement, he moved
for a return not merely of what the Post-office produced,
but also what were the charges necessarily incurred,
in producing the revenue, which included the expense
of the packets and the delivery. The greater part of
the Post-office revenues was borne in the naval account.
It was thought better after that to conduct the packages
in the King's ships, and consequently the charge whick
had been made against the revenues of the Post-office,
became charged in the naval estimates, while the receipts
remained in she Post-office. It was necessary to put
on one side all that was paid for the conveyance, and on
the other all that had been received by the Post-office.
Mr. HAWES said a few words in explanation, and
alluded to a deputation, which was received by Sir R.
Peel, two years ago, when the Right Hon. Gentleman
stated that the Post-office revenue did not amount to
500,000 L or 600,0001., but only to 110,0002, for the
purpose of creating an unfavourable impression of the
penny postage.
Sir R. PEEL said that he was entirely misunder-
stood, and that nothing was further from his mind than
to show that the arrangement was a bad one, for be
wished most cordially for its success. In answer to the
deputation, he said that the net produce of the Post-
office did not amount to five or six hundred thousand
pounds, for the purpose of removing an erroneous im-
pression which they laboured under, not for the purpose
of making unfavourable contrasts.
Mr. WILLIAMS said that the net amount, up to the
sth of April, was 699,0001., and the charges for packets
amounted to 544,0001., leaving a net revenue of
155,000 L
Mr. WARBURTON did not think that the Post•office
should be charged with the whole of the cost of con-
structing the packets, seeing that they had been built in
a very expensive manner, in order that, upon an emer-
gency, they might be turned into war steamers.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that the return which he had made was not a compara-
tive one.

Sir C. NAPIER believed that so long as the Board of
Admiralty was constituted as it now was, a great deal
of money would be uselessly expended. He had always
been opposed to a civilian ruling the navy. The sur-
veyor of the navy and the storekeeper were responsible
for their department, and yet they had a Lord of the
Admiralty appointed over each of them.

Dr. BGIViiING did not think that the public accounts
could be satisfactorily kept unless the departments of
receipt anti expenditure were separated.
Captain PEC HELL said he would wish to bring before
the House the case of the pursers of the navy, who were
a class of very meritorious and deserving officers; and
in doing so he only regretted that they had not entrusted
their case to an Hon. Member calculated to do it justice.
He held in his hand a memorial forwarded to the
Admiralty by a meeting of the pursers on the 2d April,
1841, in which they stated their grievances, some of which
were that many of these officers were from 31 to 36 years
in the service, and were none of them under 60 years of
age. He then read extracts from the report of the
Admiralty Commissioners that had been appointed to in
quire into the case of the pursers, by which it appeared
that all the recommendations of the commission in favour
of those officers were negatived or reduced by the
Board of Admiralty. By those reductions and deduc-
tions it appeared that there was a sum equal to the
amount of 4,8001. in the bands of the Admiralty to the
credit of those officers, and he hoped the Board of Ad-
miralty would be prepared to divide this sum equally
amongst the pursers.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir G. COCKBURN said these pensioner; were first
put upon half-pay in 1814, and in 1842 he believed there
were about 972 of them; 100 of them received 55., 200
45., and 672, 3s. In 1834, the third-class petitioned the
Board of Admiralty to reduce the first-class from 9ths to
10ths, and in 1834, by the consent of the first-class, this
arrangement was carried into effect ; and the third-class
had an addition made to their pay. Shortly afterwards the
Naval and Military Commission recommended that 50 of
them should be allowed a retirement pension of ss.
The Treasury acceded to the proposition of the Naval
Commission, that there should be 70 at 75., 100 at 65.,
and the rest, 350, at 55., thus proposing an increase of
Is. 6d. a-day. The number now on the list was 1,000.
Captain PECHELL hoped that the case of the pur-
sers who had had 9,000/. taken from their profits last
year, and from whom the Chancellor of the Exchequer
received 4,884/. annually, would be reconsidered by the
Government.
After a few words from Admiral DUNDAS,
Sir C. NAPIER said, much anxiety was expressed en
the subject, and he was anxious to know when the decision
of the Government would be made known.
Sir G. COCKBURN said, he could not say, as they
had not yet come to a decision.
The vote was then agreed to.
A vote of 11,6081. was then proposed to the Seaman's
Register-office.

Sir C. NAPIER objected to the payment of the bounty
of 10/. to seamen newly enlisted. 'Seamen were in the
habit of receiving 101., but, in the event of a proclama-
tion of war, the bounty was doubled. Now, no war
might take place, yet they were bound to pay this
gratuity, which entailed great expense on the coun-
try, and which, he thought, might be dispensed with
without in try to the service.
Mr. CO LETT was not satisfied with the explanation
of the Honourable Gentleman. The charge was a very
large one.
Mr. CORRY said the expense was owing to the fact,
that it was the first year the Bill for Registering Sea-
men had come into operation.
Captain PECHELL said that the pursers who for-
merly received an eighth now received only a tenth, by
which the Treasury had effected a saving of 4,000/.
Should not this stun be refunded to the pursers, and their
salary be increased ?
Sir ROBERT PEEL said that it was one of the most
unenviable duties of his office to be obliged to resist the
claims of particular classes of persons in the army, the
navy, and the ordnance. He could not agree with the
Hon. and Gallant Officer, and must oppose his views, as
if realised they would form a most dangerous precedent.
After a few words from the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUER and Captain FECLIELL in reply, the Tote was
agreed W.

On the proposition of 39,545 Z for the salaries of the.
scientific department of the navy, a conversation ensue.d
between Sir C. Napier, Captain Pechell, and Su'
G. Cockburn, respecting the salaries of the hydrogr
pliers, and the want of accommodation for the Greenwich
wich
pensioners when they came up to be exemined, du
which Sir G. Cockburn stated that be was sensible f t.his
want, and an intimation was given that some proovistoa
should be made to shelter them from the weather.
o.
,
The sum of 131,0471. was proposed for the expense
naval officers at home. •
After some observations from Sir George Cockburn,
Captain Pechell, Sir Charles Napier, and Mr.
the vote was agreed to.
The f llowing sums were then voted : s
,
na
22,9571. to defray the expenses of her Majesty
establishments abroad.
690,630/. to defray the expenses of the artificers, Sod
employed in the naval establishments at home. .1.
41,995 L to defray the expenses of the naval °stab-119
rnents abroad.
The House then resumed, and the Chairman obtained
leave to sit again on Monday next.
The Banking (Scotland) Bill then went through coin;
mittee, and the other orders of the day, having bee
disposed of, the House adjourned at One oclock.
