Mr. BERNAL objected to the grant, u unnecessary,
if the Noble Marquess exerted himself with Foreign
Powers. He confessed, however, that he was left in a
state that he did not know whether he ought to call on
his friends to oppose or arove of the vote.

detestable traffic in Slaves could more easily be put
down, if all nations granted a mutual right of search.
Sir H. COCKBURN supported the Resolution. and
agreed that nothing bat a mutual right of search could
effectually put down the odious trade ; and be knew his
Noble Friend (the Marquess of Londonderry) was very
earnest in his endeavours with Foreign' Powers to get
them to agree to that.

posed that the vote be reduced to 17,2001.

contended that nothing short of the original vote would
be sufficient.
