NEW SOUTH WALES, SEPT. 9,1503.

'OLTINSI .RAITICULAIS OF TNI LOSS OF Nil MUSS-

TY'S MIMED VESSEL PORPOISE, •111) THE CATO, OF
LONDOII, UPON WRECK REEF.
The Poaroise, with the (hips Bridgewater and
Cato in company, on the 17th of Auguß, 11103, at
two in the afternoon, fell in with a find bank, in
about 23. 7. of South latitude, and 155. 48. Eaft
longitude, and 169 miles N. 55 E. from Sandy
Cape, on the coaft of New South Wales. This bank
being 2. to the Eaaward of the fituation where the
Eliza whaler found the reefs lying off the coaft to
terminate, it was thought to be fuels a detached
bank as fome others feen by Lieutenant BALL and
Mr. BASEPTON, which lie much further over towards
the North end of New Caledonia, and no ezpeda-
tion of meeting with any more was entertained, ef-
pecially as the Inverrioaroa had before failed for
Torres Strait, from Reefs feveral degrees further to
the Weft, without interruption. The fignal being
made to keep under eafy fail during the night, and
an officer being placed at the look-out on board the
Poaroisa, the (hips (leered N. W. on their comic,
with a frefh breeze from the E. S. E. the Bridgewa-
ter being on the flarboard, and Cato on the larboard
quarter of the leading (hip : at eight o'clock the
PORPOISE founded with 35 fathoms, found no bot-
tom ; at half pall nine, breakers feen a-head ; the
PORPOISE'S helm was put down, in order to tack
from them ; but the forelail being hauled up to keep
the other Odin in fight, then under three double.
fisted topfails, came up head to wind; in paying off
again, the ftruck upon the coral reef; a gun was at•
tempted to be fired, to warn the other (hips ; but
swing to the confufion, and the (pray that was fly-
ing over; it could not be accomplifhed, and before
Witt were brought up, the Bridgewater and Cato
were on different tacks (landing acrofs each other.
The Captain of the Cato flopped felting his mainfail,
' and bore away to let the Bridgewater go to wind-
ward, by which means the cleared the breakers, and
flood out us the iouthward ; the Cato miffing flays
for want of her mainfail, tried to tack, but (truck
upon the reef, shout two tables' length from the
Poirot's. The Poaroisa heeled upon the reef, and
laid upon her broadfide, fo that the furl flew over,
but did not fill her ; the foremaß went loon, but the
other math Rood until they were cut away. ' The
Cato unfortunately took the oppofite inclination, and
the tea breaking furioufly in upon her decks, tore
them up, leaving the Crew no place of fkfety but the
lineefore chains, where they clung all night, look-
ing to the S. W. after the Bridgewater, which they
epofidently hoped would fend her boats to their re- i
lief. An hour after the Poaeotss had ftruck. '
fmall gig and a fix-oared cutter were got out to lee-
ward; the latter was Rove. °braving that the
breaking water did not extend to any diftance to
leeward, Captain Ftninsas told Lieutenant Fowtsa
his intention was to fecure the charts and log books
of the Isivaerieratoa's voyage, and endeavour to
get on board the Bridgewater. This was affented
to, and with fix men and two oars he got through
the furl without being fwamped, though near full of
water.. The (month water was to be -found upon a
coral reef, and jug deep enough to float the boat.
After rowing for a fliort time towards the Bridgewa-
ter, Captain Fs.trosas taw that, unkfs the tacked, it
was impoffible to near her, and as her light (hewed
her to be [landing on, he determined to get back to
the wreck, leaving his charts and books in the boat.
Several blue lights were burnt on board the Poa-
rouse during the night, and fome on board taw
the Bridgewater anfwer them by (hewing a light,
whilft others took it to he only a general light,
which was ftill viable ; it was laft fees about two in
the morning. A raft was prepared during the night,
left the flip might go to pieces. A dry land bank
was now ken near the wrecks, fufficient to receive
every body, with all the provifions and flares that
might be laved out of the fhip ; they had Rill fur-
ther fatisfaBion to fee the Bridgewater (landing to-
,wards them ; every body now let to work to get fuf-
ficient provifions and water landed on the fend bank,
where Captain Fzonates went with the fmall boat,
in order to go off to the Bridgewater, as foon as the
came near. to point out to Captain PAI/1111111 the OKl-
ter to leeward, where he might with fafety take
every body on board, with wha might be raved.
On landing at the bank. he hoilled up two handker-
chide to an oar t but about ten o'clock it appeared
the (hip had gone upon the other tack, not being able
probably to weather the reef : the was not feen any
more during the day. Whether the Bridgewater
taw the wrecks on the banks cannot be certainly
known ; but her midis, if not the hull, were vifible
from both flips. As the tide fell, the people of the
Cato quitted her, and got through the furl to the
Poarois anal' boat, which waited within ride of
her to receive them, and at low water, which hap-
pened about two o'clock, the reef was dry, very
near to the latter flip, and every perfon was employ.
ed in getting provifions, water, and their clothes
upon the reef, from whence they were taken to the
bank by the boats, for round the bank the water is
deeper. Before dark five hogflteads of water were
landed, as alto fume flour, felt meat, rice, and fpi-
tits, betides pig; and Cheep, and every perfon had
got on (bore with Come neceffaries, together with the
Cato's people. The men having got on board the
Poe Foist, Mr. Fow la cloathed four or five in
Lieutenants' uniforms, and fome promotions of a
fimilar kind had alio taken place among the Poa-
rois c's feamen. Thole who had faved great coats
or blankets, (haring with thofe who bad none, they
laid down to fleep with tome little comfort, and,
except a few of the Cato's men, who were broiled on
the reef, there was no complaining heard upon the
bank. The three boats of the Poaroisa were hauled
up at night under the Ice fide of the bank, but the
(mall boat not having been well loured, was found
to have been carried away by the tide. As there
was no hope of laying the PCISPOis e; the tide by this
time flowing in and out of her, on the 19th, in, the
morning, Captain FLINDERS thought proper to do
away the circumflance of his being a rralTenger, and
took the command of the while party. He divided
the Cato's people, who had lived nothing, amongft
the PORroeses men. glum-tail them in the metres
in the proportion of one to three, and then Lieute-
nant FoweEll, with a large working party in the two
boats, went off to the (hip. The Cato had gone to
pieces during the bight, and one of her quarters Lad
floated in upon the reef ; but nothing of her cargo
or dotes remained wislik. Daring this and the fol
lowing day, the wind Grinned to blow tic/ from

the S. E. and the Bridgewater not coming in fight, it
was fuppofed that Captain Pastaza was beating to
windward, waiting for finer weather. On confulting
with the Carpenter of the Inv esr o To R about build-
ing a vefrel, and the time it might require, he gave
his opinion, that two boats fufficient to carry the peo-
ple, would be fooner built, and anfwer the purpofe
better. This feeming to be the general opinion, was
adopted by the Commander. On the evening of the
23d. the whole of the water, and almoll all the pro-
viftone, were landed on the bank. The (lock now
examined, eonfifted of the following quantities and
proportions for 95 men at full allowance :
Meth and Flour fufficieut for 83 Dap.

Beef and Pork ditto - 94 ditto.
Peale - ditto • to, ditto.
Oatmeal - ditto - 48 ditto.
Rice - ditto - 1114 ditto.
Sugsrand Mohan ditto - 84 ditto.
Spirit", Wine.,Porter ditto - 49 ditto
Water - ditto - tao ditto.
with Sour ICrout, Effenee of Malt, Vinegar, and Salt, and other
material and neeefary Stores.
Until the 25th, they were employed in fitting up
the cutter, and adding to their flock upon the bank :
the Chip IEII flood, and, they hoped, would keep to•
gether at leaft until the next fpring tides. At Lieu-
tenant Fow2ca's own requeft, 'Captain FLINDIRS or-
dered that he mould remain with the fibres until the
laft boat ; and that Lieutenant FLINDERS and Mr.l
JOl4ll ARES, the Mafter of the INVISTIGATOR, OSOUId
take charge of the two large boats, with a Mafter's
Mate in each, capable of conducing them to Port
Jackfon, mould illnefs or any thing happen to the
two Officers. On Friday, the 266 of Angell, in
the morning, Captain FLINDERS and his companions
embarked in the cutter, to the number of fourteen ;
three weeks provifions, with minds full of hope,
mixed with anxiety, they returned three cheers given
by their {hip-mates an the bank, who immediately
hauled down the enfign, which had been hitherto
boifted union downwards, as a fignal of diftrefs, and
new boated the union in the Upper Canton.

Yelterday Lieutenant &Hairy, who dillinguifhed
himfelf fo much by his zeal and aaivity dunng the
blockade of Boulogne. was appointed to the com-
mand of his Majeky's hired brig Anne, now fitting
for fea at Sheernefs.

ten, at which hour the PRINCE of Waite graced the
Affembly with his pretence, but retired loon after the
Concert was concluded. The Orchellra, as on the
former o:cation, was partly compored of amateurs,
and partly of profellional performers. The principal
infirumental performers of the latter deccription wets
Mifs C•NTILO, who played the harp ; Mr. Houses,
the baffnon ; and Miller Moss,. the violin; the
fingers were, Meffrs. BIANCHI, Meals. Goat, Evans,

The Conc.-rto-oio&a, by Maier Motet, a little boy, be-
tween (even and eight years of age, called forth the
approbation and allonithment of every perfon prefent.
A long, beautifully compored by the Honourable j.

letlion of mufic for this occafion confilled of favourite
pieces from the works of HANDFL, Dome,. Yaao-

were moll favourably received by the company.—
The Concert ended between eleven and twelve, when
the Company retired to partake of an elegant flapper
prepared for them in the apartment below; which
not being large enough to contain above one half of
the Sobfcribert, the glees were performed in the
Concert Room. After five or fit glees by the fingers
above named, and ably accompanied on the harp&
chord by Mr. SMOG'S', the ball commenced in the
fame room, which had been cleared for the porpoli.

the kings of the country to go to war upaillighti
other for the fate of ing captives as the. beki
merchandise they court:el:duct to trade with the
Europeans; and that when a king failed in one of ,
thofe expeditions, or was repotted, he turned upon
his own fubjeas, and feized and fold them as naves!
to that it appears that the very fame means were ufed
by all the traders to Africa Or the very fame end.—
Mr. Brune Rates, that the French thensfelves. when
they could not procure a fupply of flares with tuffs-
cient quicknefs, tallied forth a force, feized upon, a
village, and carried away captive the whole of its in-
habitants. But when, in tech a cafe, they had taken
a greater number than they ought, with tome danger
to the game, as it were, on the African King's manor,
they made their peace by paying for the Miler.—
Mr. Wilberforce quoted a number of other authors
to the fame effete, and particular!? a Mr. Moore, a
writer in 1740, who Rates. that for the purpofe of
promoting the Slave Trade, the punithments of the
African diaries near the coati were changed into
habiliment, which arofe entirely from European in-
teroonrfe. Previous to that time, as was Rated by

Gentletnadhad Rated the anfwers that had
lama given at the Bar by feveral perfons who had
been examined as to the effea it night have on the.
trade, to limit the number of haves to the proportion
,of two to a ton, all of whom agreed ib declaring
that it would be the ruin of the trade. Yet a lets
proportion had been 'Rabbeted, that is of five for
every two ton, and the trade had, be was Corry to
fay, ingested. It had been fisted, that if the trade
were to have been abolifhed, it would deßmy a nur-
fery of the Britith Marine ; and it had given bins
much pain to think that the defence of the country
refted upon fuch wicked means. But on inquiry, it
Chad appeared, that inftead of !import, the African
"trade was a drain from the marine of the country.--
And naval men, otherwife not inclined to fnpport
his propnfition, had attelled this fee; and that on
boarding an African ttader, they could feldom and a
;hand worth taking: The La Was, that of 12,263
feamen employed in the African trade, 2,643 died
in one year, whereas only 323 died out of the fame
number employed in the Welt India trade. If his
opponents, therefore, bad been miftaken on points
which they had Willed on with fuch confidence, they
could not now be entitled to much credit. The flat,-
' meat of the deaths had been taken from their own
I mutter rolls brought from Liverpool by order of the
I House. Another part upon which much are& bad
been laid wt', that the abolition of the trade would
he injurious to our commerce, and that we &gold nut
find other means of employing our capital. But a
Gentleman who had lately directed very laudably
hit attention to the fohje4t, had proved that only one
thirty-fourth part of our home exports were difpufed
of in that trade, and that the capital engaged in it
did not exceed one million. It appeared alfo, that
within the left eleven years our capital in the other
branches of commerce bad inc reefed by eleven millions
and an half. anal with fuch an augmentation of capi-
tal, on the general trade, he thought we might eatily
reconcile ourfelves to the lots of the peefeut channel
for the employment of that one million, or difpole
of it in another way, ..vithout having it damned with
Wand c. tainted with vices. Thefe were the objec-
tions that had been urged tohis propofition with refer-
ence to Africa, to the Middle Palfage, and to the effect
it would have on the marine and commerce of the
country: There was another, however, which feemed
to have had moll weight with the Houfe in reference
to the Well Indies. 'the great argument undoubtedly
as this head had been, that it would be impodible to
keep up the flock of haves without importation.—
The fad wag, that the la,-ne race had increafed in
every other part of the world. They had increafed in
America, they had increafed in Bencoolen, and ir.
St. Helena. The Caribs of St. Vincent, Who were
original!' the cargo of a 'Oil wrecked upon the
Bland, had iiicrea.cd. The Maroons in Jamaica, who
WPC flares that ran away on our firs taking pi:Faci-
a= of the Maud, bad increafed rapidly. In fad,
Mr. Long himfelf had dated, that the tinmellic haves
Increafed, while the ilantation ar fi.W haves only
decreafed. He bad even hated, that the field
naves alfo iacreafed wherever the produce bore a
certain proportion to the numbs of the nave., that
is. wherever a certain nii.rber of hogfticads only
were produced. If the Etch! Mayes, therefore, de-
created, whilli the fame race were increalinz in every
other r diary, it mull be from the elect's of labour
which they ate compelled to undergo. Slavery had
at all times opera.ed aminft the multi' licction of the

He woard not go here into the particulars of the nut
management in the Weft Indies. The veined*
fault was, that the naves were not thillviently fed, j,
and that was the principal difference between the
Weft Indies and America, where they had three
times the quantity of food. Bet there were differ-
ences fall more unfortunate in our glands; for what
was allowed to a run-a-way Negro in his imptifon-
ment in Jamaica was double what was allowed to a
working Negro in Nevis and St. Vincent's. There was
alfo a material difference between the American Ne-
groes and there of the Weft Indies, with refpett to the
dittribution of their labour; in America they worked.

lie was glad to have eitablithed this, becaufe though
he could not have yielded to policy, even if fairly
urged. when juftice was oppo(ed to that pulley; yet
it would have been painfUl that the intered of the
kingdom Coffered by doing what was due to juftice
and humanity ; and he therefore felt double fatis;
faition when he was founded in et:winding, that the
Negroes would increafe if the Slave Trade was totally
abolifhed, and Come fatuttry reforms introduced in
the mode of treating thole now in the colonies. He
.addneed the teflimony of M. 14 AAAAA sr, a man ofd
information on the rubies% to (hew that the mortality
had bees leased in St. Domingo fence the revolts-
tion, becaufe abfolote red had been allowed to the

1 our Wands ; if the women were (pared in a Gtua-
tion in which decency and humanity required that
they atomic, be allowed indulgence ; if the young ne.
pries were left hardatipped, the fame beneffeial cos
requences would be felt. If an increafe was espeti-
sewed in America from a difference of treatment, un-
der circumitantes of degradation fimilar to thpfe that
obtained in our inland, an inct cafe was to be caper!)-,
ed by us on the reformation of the treatment given
by us. If any thing was to be complained of in the
proceedings of the Committee in 1793, it was. that
fo much pains were taken to fatisfy the fcruples of
thofe who were interened, by proving what no en-
lightened man had a doubt of, that which was foun-
ded in juftice was alai founded in policy. He would
not go into the argument that other nations would
be bale, weak, and v.4.cked enough to purfne this in-
famous traffic, if we did not. There was no •vice.
no crime which might not be jultified on this pion, if
it was allowed to thole who were intruded to fearch
the world for limiter initances of guilt. Another ar-
gument was, that the Welt India Legillature was to
be tonfulted, that it was not to be outraged, that the
planters thould be allowed time to fill up the members
of their Rock. The Honfe would recollea that this ar-
gument had formerly great weight, and that much
latitude had been allowed. For his part, he knew
that it was vain to expea a hearty co operation in
oppofition to prejudices and pat Thins. The importa-
tions have not been made in late years for the purpofe
of keeping up the flock. but for the put pole of form-
ing new plantations. With all their privileges alive,
with all their feelings irritated, with a general jots.
reit which kept them all in countenance, he did not
hope for the concurrence of the colonifts. It was evident
that every year they hogged the SLtre Trade clofer,
and that they never would willingly give it up. On the
grounds that he had now gone over. the Houle had re-
folved on the abolition of the Have Trade in a -792. The
pea Ind fixed for its termination that was the yearl796;
thole who defiled to place it at the greaten dit-
tance fixed it for 'goo. The Well India colonies had
aEted as if they %edited to make to, believe that the re-
peal relied or us, not on them ; they faid it was a
Idraiitt trade, it was Britith capital that was embark-
ed in it, not theirs ; but afterwaids they laid they had
a right to enjoy the benefits of the trade, and the ad-
vantages of carrying nevelt.. On that oetation he
had the fatisfaaiLa of a larger majority than had
ever been known on any driputed point. All that
was refpeelable in chrtratler and taloa on either fide
of the Hoek was a ith him, and theft who Were in
oppofition wese only a few whom local inrcreft in.
duced to take the part they did. If an 1795, there
was fuch a fenfe in Parliament of the Injoiftice and
mifcry iu which a large portion of the human race

was involved by this trade ; if it was at that time al.
lowed in the Weft Indies, that fuch mifchiefs intended
it, what fenfe moil now be entertainedoof it, when
every motive that then "(Mailed was more prelLng

thing the policy of which was much to be queltioned.
This capital was veiled in fecnrities menaced portico-
