which the supply of slaves is drawn, and of
so much insecurity to those into which they
are imported.

the attention OF the Portuguese government,

sions were only secondary objects Of its so.

Extraordinary and Minister Plcnipotentary
to the Prince Regent of Portugal, at the
time of that Minister'S departure for, the

So many circumstances and arguments in
this dispatch, apply also to Spanish Anne

in possession of them; and, though am not
to instruct you to bring forward at present
any distinct proposition upon the subject Of
the Slave Trade, / have yet to desire that
you, will keep that subject so far in your
view, as to omit no favorable opportunity of
explaining and enforcing the principles
which have guided the conduct Of the Bri..
tIsh government upon it.

My LORD,
The Portuguese settlement of Bis
Sau, on the western coast of Africa, is in the
midst ora territory in which the slave trade
is now nearly disused; and from its situati.
on, interrupts the progress of the endeavors
which has been made of late years to afford
90, at least, considerable portion of the coast
Of that continent, a chance of improvement
and repose.
. If your Lordship should see no immediate
prospect of being able to obtain the assent
of the. Portuguese government to the princi
pie, which. by my other despatch on the
Slave Trade, you are directed to inculcate (;
your Lordship will endeavor to persuade the
Portuguese government, even if in other
places the Slave Traffic shall still continue,
10 abandon the traffic in slaves at this par :.
ticular settlement OBTAINING whatever other
commerce may belong to it) and to ascer
tain whether on any, and what conditions,
fhe Portuguese government might be indu.
sed 70 cede it to MS majesty.
