which the *elfish opposition of the individuals in this

got IM hotter of, gave their Lordships reason to
hope, that if they exerted the same perseverance to

is ether parts of the world, they would be success-
ful. As to the means, their Lordships must be
aware that it was esty by allowing a log, common
ter this purpose to the great Maritime Powers, to
be exerted against the common enemies of mankind,
that the selfish Interests which sepported this nets.
nines traffic could be completely pet down. In call-
ing their Lordships' attention to this subject, it was
impossible not to consider the different state in which
the Powers of Europe stood with regard to tho oho.
All ncept two Powen (Portugal and Spain)

the justness of the principle of Ow abolition, yet
bad adopted no active matures for enforcing it.—

In Senegal, in particular, it appeared that certain
persons, regardless of the menus by which they for.

such liberal priociplee as the French Monarchy now
did, would not front any narrow views refese to
concur in measures calculated to secure an object sc.
knowledged to be alike called for by policy and he-
inanity. It never could be the nigh of that Go-
vernment to see the same vessels which carried

the disposition of France, still more sanguine was

the United States of America. Within these few
months the Coors's bad passed as Act for the par-
pow of enforcing their Abolition Laws, by which
beety pesalties were imposed on all mmHg found in
any way implicated in this iniquitous frolic. It was
'lrvine. however, es long es there remained a lag
not liable to be searched, even though it should be the
flag of a Power which bad agreed to the abolition,

Power was to be supposed os this occasion es likely
to act more sincerely than another with Greet Britain,
that Pellet was tie United States. These States bad
derived from this country that atrocious static, but
they bad also derived from us those in inciples of
liberty and humanity, by which they bad been led to
be the first in abandoning it. From this country
these States had also derived that spirit which taught
them to protect innoceace,_ and resist oppression and
tyranny. There Wee therefore no doubt bat that the
Ansrvican Government would eagerly listen to an,
plan which might be proposed for completing the
great work of aboliti“n by giving feller effect to
the Nor enacted by Congress. If, therefore, such
an understand.og as he supposed practicable should
take place Wens this country sod France and the
United States, the smaller Powers would readily con.
cur in the same system of maritime police. From the
disposition which Portugal had manifested, it per.
