Wbl OF NOTTINGHAM TO WIT.
AT a MEETING of the. MAYOR, ALDER-
MEN, COMMQN COUNCIL, and LIVERY, held at
the duildhall of the said .I.6whan Wetinesdav, the 29th' day of
June 1814, convened by the Mtior for the purpose of consider-
Mg the preptiety of ex tressing their sentiments tion she partial
reeiral of the Slave Trade, sanctioned by the late Treaty tof
Peace be-witen this Country and France, and the neceslty of,
petitioning both }louses of Parliament to interfere in suet outli-
ner as they may judge most likely to be effectual to preview those
miseries WAN% must follow any genet-el or temporarrand local
renewal of a frade so abhorrent. to the principles of reason aii4
Christianity; '
JON ALLEN, Esq. Mayor, in the &air.
molvee, That, in the judgment of this Meeting, the existence
of a :lire Trade being disgraceful not only to every nation pro-
tossing to be Christian, bat also to every people professing to be
civilized, and to possess thus.: common feeliags and sentiment,
regarded as hoover:AA,: to 'ammo nature—the Abolition thirtof
in this country, must in the contemplation of vrisditnl and equity
have beets comirdered as no more than an act of juries at the
imperious call of they, as:in fact, on other than the relinquish-
ment of criminal conduct in obedience to the dictates olcunscieuce,
and to the yoke of Gun; and therefore tha every measure tam
jated in any degree to revive in this Lan:4 ur to perpetuate in auy
other so horrible a traffic--so daring an insult to the DUTY him-
self, in whose image Man, we believe, has been created, ought
at once to ronse the moral sensibility.—the virtuosi indigo:nom
of all who still fear GOD, and. retain affection fei men ;,arid
virroaxe them to a.lopt every legal molf a! mopping
the progress of such a measure, and of suppre-slng if, if pii,sib.e,
by the steadiest, the most, spirited and unwearied opposition.
• That in the Treaty of Peace recently made between rid. Cowls
try and France, we tear that the Article by whet, it 6 step tla i.d
between the two Government, u.at " during its period t.f live
years Ito Slave Merkhant ihall import or sell eieept in
the Coloniess of the Sate df Whiel be is a Stablest," w ll'taex the
effect of perpetuating in a Foreign Country, anti of reviving In our
own, the horrid iraillc in Slaves, whioh.for the last serest years,
ha., in use vete/Wye andapopulous Colonies, tutltc kepohr of hu
usanity, and the Glory of OCID, been by Law strictly prohibited.

That it appears to tins Meeting to be extremely tine stionable,
vef;ether the French uovernient wows' eventually have refused
to receive hack their Colonies on the cunilitlun (had halt cinelition
buen insisted uponj that they should not revive ia them the a.a
lisliesl practice of trading in mutat in the Divine Image,
and joint pirtakere with themselves of their noblest privileges
2114 num glorious expectations. But we are persuaded that had
they ultimately rejected with a skulatiisa, the rejection would
have reflected as much disgrace on .the trench character as the
insisting upset it would have,shed unsullied glory on the British
nano-. '1 hat as his Mira Christian Majesty has, without reseree,
declared as concurrence ita the sentiments of his Britannic Ma-
jesty, with respect to a description of tropic repugnant to the
Principles of Natural Justice, and of the enlightened age'
in which we live, eataged to unite all his efforts to those of His
Britannic l'elajeety, at the approaching Congress, to induce all the
Powers of Christendom to decree the Abolitiou of the Slave
Trade; that the Petitions to the Houses of Lords and Commons,
which have been read to this Meeting by the Town Clerk, be
adopted es the act of this Meeting, god presented to the l.egis-
latter in the name of the Mayor, Aldermen, Common Council,
and Livery of theTowu of Nottingham, the common:lice' of this
Corporation being thereto affixed, praying that the Itepresenta-
fives of the British People at that Cotigre4 may be insiructel to
rate hoir ardent is the desire of Brit a;n, and bow great the sa-
crifice she is ready to make, fur the accomphshment of so Bah:
design as that of the immediate and universal Abolition of the
:Ave rade; that while it is obviously the ambition of this
country toseliese the fame of other !nations w errs and iu arms.
we may also appear to be not less emulous of distinction for that
righteousness, which, while it castes, pruittutes also the security
and prosperity of a Nation...
