SLAVIi TRADF.

In the Anent Fordyce v flerdon, Bart. the I art! Adveente of
&viand was he4rd for the relpondent.—Furthcr eunfideration to-
nt ,'row.

Sir "Eheophilus Mecalre, Mr. Ilohhottfc, Lord Stanley, and
(tveral other Members of the Houle. of Commons, brought up
the Globe, Alhi,n, Pelican, and London Affurance Companies
bills, and Conic private Bills. which were read a flat time.

The 1E:1-1 of WESTMORELAND rrefented a
Pc•ition from certain Planters, Mortgagees, Mer-
chanr‘, and others, interelled in the Weft India Iflandr,
asaing a clank added by the Houle of Commons to
the Slave Trat'e Abolition Bill, enalling that Ne-
groes feized in confequence of illicit trade fhould be
declared free, which they (Wed would be prods lire
of great danger to the Colonies.—Ordered to lie on
the table.

Lord GRENVILLE moved the Order of the
D.sy, taking into confidereinn the Amendments
made by the Houfe of Commons in the Slave Trade
Ahtliti -n Bill. His Lordfhip ohferved, that the ob-
jeEl of the greater past of thefe Amendments was to
enforce penalties and forfeitures on thole carrying on
rlte trade, after the period fixed by Parliament for its
abolition, which it was not the praflice of that
Houk to enaft. Thefe Amendments, therefore, were
merely calculated the better to carry into effea the
principle of the Bill. With refpeft to the Amend
me nt, in the Preamble, leaving out the words, declar-
ing the Trade to be contrary to pace, humanity,
and found policy, it would not be imagined, after
what he had faid upon the fubieft, that his opinion
had furtained any alteration. It having, h-swever,
been thought tight by the Houfe of Commons to
make 'this alteration, in order that the feelings of
thole concerned in the Trade might not be wounded,
he had no objeftion to it.
The Bifhop of LANDAFF role to deliver his
opinion of tlete Bill, which he had not till now an op-
portunity of drain;. The Learned and Reverend
Prelate oblerved, that in judging of the propriety of
the preamble as it originally Rood, or of the amend-
ments that had been made in it, the different Rates
of flsvery as they exifted at different periods of the
world fhould duly be conlidered. Certain conditions
of livery esitled in the antediluvian world full (even
hundred years before Noah, and fuch mull have exifi-
ed both before and after the formation of civil fociety.
Under the circumßances of thofe times, multitudes

mull have culled who could derive fullenance only
from their labour, and who, in order to fecure the

means of fupport, were willing to furrender up that
labour, and with it their freedom. Such a Rate of
flavery might not indeed be confidered as contrary
to justice and humanity, becaufe it was a voluntary
aft on the part of thole who fnbmitted to it ; but, al-
though that Rate of navel'', might not be judged in-
confittent with junice and humanity, it did not fol-
low that other defer iptions of it might not be highly
inhuman and unjuft ; for what could be more con-
trary to juflice and humanity, than to excite civil
wars in a country, and then take advantage of the
calamities ariling from it to force away the miferable
inhabitants into an borders captivity ? Such he con-
ceived to be the nature of the trade which it was
popolcd to abolith. Its abolition was an aft of na-
tional humanity and lattice, it was an aft that never
would be blotted out from the records of Divine
mercy. He was ready to conies that the moll
keenly eaploting eye might not be able to dive into
the coniquences of filch a meafure ; but as it evi-
dently Ipringc from the root of undill'embled piety
and humanity, it thould not be fuppofed to be pro-
duftive of evil, but, on the contrary, that it mutt be
healing and beneficial to mankind.
The Earl of WESTMORELAND could not let
flip this salt opportunity of entering his protell againft
the Bill : he mutt therefore repeat time of his former
chjeCtions to it, though he was aware that the repetition
mutt in lime degree be it kfome to the Houle. At
lean he mull remind them that one more occafion
prefented itfelf to allow them to reflify their ovinions,
which they flnoild be the more induced to do from
the awful warning contained in the petition which he
Lad this day laid on their Lordihipa' table. From
that petition they might coiled the dreadful conk.
quences which even the Refolutions of hill year were
producing in Jamaica. Every thing there feemed
to indicate the approaches of an organifed infurrec-
tior, which might receive a new tumulus and encou•
ragement f. om the Bill now on the eve of palling. It
therefore called again for the molt ferious confidera.
Lion of their Lordthips, and that conlideration would
thew them that the propofed claufes involved the
greaten incontinencies, abfurdities, and even impof.
obilities. As to the preamble, nothing could recon-
cile him to it. No rod could be •expefted from it,
while it might be attended with much mifehief : he
was, therefore, for leaving it out altogether. As to
the cunftquences of the meafure, they certainly ap-
reared to him mon alarming. If ever St. Domingo
and Cuba were in the hands of our enemies, and if
they refolvcd to carry on this trade, that alarm would
prove but ton well founded. He would even venture
to lay, that it was to tht exitlence of the Slave Trade
that their hordthips were indebted for their being
now fo.ing in that Houle. Our exiftence depended
on the flrength of our navy, and the ftrength of our
navy was chiefly derived from the Slave Trade.—
Their Lordthips mull be convinced of it, if they but
reflefted that the town of Liverpool alone now fent
out a greater number of privateers than were em-
t:Lyed in the whale of the country againft the enemy
to the time of Q2een Elizabeth.
The Marquis of SLIGO (poke a few words
against the preamble; it was, in his opinion, unpro-
v„lced and unneceffary.
• The Doke of NORFOLK laid, he never voted on
the Slave queition, on the many other occafions
when it was formerly fnbmitted to the confideration

tLcn ;inctie in their piofelfions. He alluded parti•
olarly to one, now no more (Mr. Pitt), who had the

firongefl congdence, he felt it his duty to attend'
every night, and to give his rote and cervices, for the
confummation of this great work of humanity. He
was happy to find it In nearly accomplithed, and he
rej ,iced to have it prefented to his Sovereign, for his
Royal concurrence. in that week which the practice
of the Cluj(lian Church bad yet apart for the com-
memoration of our Holy Religion. Never could a
Chriflian Prince have a more glorious opportunity of
proving the purity of the Chrillian Faith, and up-
holding the fatted commands of his CREATOR.
