in vain to induce her to relinquish this traffic. He
trusted,„hoAigr,"that our Government would perse-
vere in ateirllltotegNen.this-enbject, and that those
efforts would soon be crowned with success.
Lord CASTLEREAGH begged to add one fact
in corroboration of what he had already stated with
respect to the disposition of the French Government.
It was known to his Honourable Friend, that the
Governor of the Island of Bourbon had been recalled
by the French Government, in consequence of his
conduct respecting the Slave Trade. Another Go-
vernor of a French Colony had recently been treated
in a similar way. As to Portugal, he heartily con-
curred with his Honourable Friend in hoping that
that Power, which happily was now the only one in
the world by which the Slave Trade was sanctioned,
might soon be induced to remove this stain from its
character. _ _

The Motion was then withdrawn.
Soon after two o'clock the Usher of the Black
Rod required the attendance of the House in the
house of Lords.
The SPEAKER and the Members present (to the
number of about 80) accordingly attended.
When the Members of the House of Commons re-
turned to their House after the dissolution, divested
of their legislative character,
Mr. MANNERS SUTTON, the late Speaker.
offered to read the Speech at the table, as is usual
after a prorogation.
Mr. TIERNEY objected to any such proceeding,
as implying some approbation of this mode of disso-
lution, which he considered as an insult to Parliament.
Mr. M. SUTTON observed, that he had consulted

Mr. Hatsell this morning on a case where there was
• no precedent, there having been no such dissolution
since that of the Oxford Parliament, in the reign of
Charles 11. The difficulty did not depend on the
Members present being no longer a House of Parlia-
ment. That circumstance equally existed in the case
of a prorogation. But the peculiar difficulty of this
case consisted in his being no longer a Speaker.
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that the Gentlemen
present might incur a pramunire, if they appeared
to deliberate as a House of Commons.
It was remarked, that there could be no harm in
a conversation between Mr. C. M. SUTTON and his
fiends round the table.—The Speech was not read.
The House then separated.

Mum:aler,

Because to rasm.d the Standing Orders of this House is at
all times a proceedir.g liable to grave objections, and only to be
justified by some urgent necessity ; but to suspend them for the
purpose of hurrying through all Its stays, in one day, a Bill
mach must have the effect of suspending various Acts of Par-
liament, which have rot been named, and which the House has
not had an opportunity of cor.ifiering, seems to ns to defeat the
purposes for which they were detised, anti to set at nought the
remota upon which they are founded.
