have the effeel ofiragrathig the labodr took al-
ready there. Th Right Iron. Gentleman, in the
conclufiowif hls pews, pnioted nut the evilx,which
he thought would attend the meafure of. /lEalition.
He viewed in it canfequences the mon dill:thous to
the tranquility of our colonies and the (comity of Well
India property. He anticipated from it the repetition
of the fame dreadful fcenes in Jamaica, which bad
fo long defalated St. Domingo. The profpeet of the
civilization of the Negroes, as aching out of the mea-
Aire, he conceived to be altogether delttfive. He re-
ferred, on this point, to the exertions made by the
Sierra Leone Company, to civilize the natives of that
part if the Cotall of Guinea. Thefe exertions had
totally failed t and he was perfnaded that the hopes
held nut by the Bill would prove totally illufory ; and,
on the grounds of policy as well as expediency, he
conjured the Houfe to refill the meafure. In the
courfe of his nbfervations he Willed a good deal on
the Trade paffill to other countries, in cafe of its
being put an end to by the Bill. He alluded to a con-
traut offered on the part of the Spanifh Government
to the Traders of Liverpool, of the mat advantage-
ous kind, for importing of Negroes into the Spanifh
settlements.

Mr. HENRY THORNTON explained that the
failure of fuccefs on the part of the Sierra Leone
Company was no arr‘ument againft the eftablifhment.
This failure he !hewed arofe from eaufes of an aecia
*nail nature, and not at all conflated with the ge-
neral principles on which the Society was founded.
Me did fanguinely look forward to the influence of
the Bill, as laying the fureft foundation for civilizing
the inhabitants of Africa. Till the abominable trade
which the Bill went to extinguith was abolifhed, it
toes impoffible for any exertions, however benevolent,
*holly to Coerced in accomplifhing this moll denia-
ble ribla
l. The Hon. Gentleman, in addition to this
'pound fupporting the meafure, illu fluted and en-
Priced all the other arguments employed in its fuppott.
aHe was C. nvinced that it was a meafure equally
founded on the moll enlarged views of policy, huma-
nity; and juftice ; and therefore he hoped that the
Houk would confult at once their duty and their
hotlhur by its immediate adoption.
Mr. WI SMITH, in a fpeech of tome length, and
Ode argument, recapitulated and anfwered all the
oblations againft the meafure. He quoted the va-
lious authorities on the fubjat of the treatment of the
Negroes, which he maintained was of itfelf a fulficient
foundation for the Bill. He denied that the Bill was
at all pregnant with the dangers which tome Hon.
Gentlemen defcribed t but, on the other hand, argued
that nothing but the immediate prohibition of the im-
portation of frelh Negroes, all moll prone to infurrec-
tiob, could give us a chance of retaining in peaceable
toffelnon our Weft India colonies. He expofed the
argument drawn from the idea of the Trade palling
to other countries. There was every reafon to exile&
that; at the expiration of four years, it would be able-
lueely prohibited in America. At 2.1 events, he main-
tained, that the idea of this taking place was no at,
nutrient againft our difeontinuing a traffic at once in-
human; impolitic, and grofsly unjnfl. The whole of
this fpeech was luminous and conclufive.
Mr. ADDINGTON oppofed the Bill as at this
time impolitic, though he was far from being a friend
td the Slave Trade, which on the other hand be molt
&crag', reprobated. He forefaw that if the Bill did
pifs, the trade would pars to other countries, and
that attiring the uninformed ignarant Negroes, the
inowledge of Gaels • Bill would lead to infuriation
ed lie conjured lite Houfe to weigh well
there add ether eonfideratirras againft the bill, which
Le united would not pat, into • law.
Mr. WILBERFORCE fupported the Bill at fome
;ninth. and adduced feveral toll:ince' of increaling
poOrtlttioft, without the aid of importation, which he
attributed entirely to the cireundianee of the Slaves
being made to do talk work inflead of being kept
tontlintly at work by meant of the whip.
Mr; DENT declared, that from the belt informa-
thrn trhich be was able to &dial, the increafed
amorint of Staves purchafed, was owing entuely to a
dente of cultivation in the Planter'. Whatever
*right be the increafe of population. it was evident
that there was an afloat neceflity to extend the ptir-
chafe alto • as he had it from good authority, that
eien the Governor of Jamaica himfelt had found it
need:try to recruit his flock by that means.
The quaint' was then called for, and the Houfe
dividecP—Ayes 69, Noes 33, Majority 36.
The Bill was then patted, and ordered to the
&ardor—Adjourned.

Orders have been Cent to Plymouth, direlling all
the men of war in Cawfand Bay immediately to join
the Channel Fleet. With this reinforcement of fx
fail of the line, the gallant Admiral Coaxwittis
will be nearly equal in point of numbers to the ene-
my, whom he has to long waited to ebonite. In
point of valour, sill, and difcipline, there can be
uo compariton.

five, alto Dutch Evers to the z.eth. A HAmburgh
Mail has alto arrived. The late hour at which they
