America. Ii was not until all our frigates

found out American frigates were larger

THE SLAVE TRADE.

The House, on motion Of Mr.. Middle.
ton, went into committee of the whole
Mr. Pitkin 10 the chair, on the bill ia ad.
dition to the acts prohibiting the slave
trade.
Mr.. Middleton took succinct view Of
the provisions Of the bill, the evils ii was
intended to remedy, the necessity for its
enactment, &c.
Much debate arose on different features
of this bill, as they came under considera-
ton. The third and fourth sections
which provide boun,ies for the officers
and crew Of the. public vessels which
shall capture slaves importing into the
United States, and TO the iuformers who
lead to the conviction of smusgIers OF
slaves into the Uuion, were warmly OPP
posed by MIR. strother for various reasons
|of expediency, and not from an unwilling,
ness to destroy the traffic and kidnapping,
&c. of slaves. Mr.. Ii. Nelson, opposed
these sections because the penalties were
not heavy enough for the offence, which
he thought ought TO be punished with
death. -
Mr.. Mercer supported the bill through
ont, explaining and defending lie pEosi-
sions against all objections.
In the course of the discussion, MIR.
Butler of Lou. proposed the following as
an additional section which he prefaced by
a few remarks TO shew that the clause he
offered was called for by due regard for
the interests of the state which he repre-
sented. The amendment was 10 the fol-
lowing words, and was agreed TO without
opposition, viz.
6 That it shall be the duty of the com.
mander of any armed vessel of the Unit
ed States, whenever he shall make any
capture under the provisions Of this act,
to bring the vessel and her cargo for adj
Indication into some Of the ports OF the
state or territory to which such vessel SO
captured shall belong, if he can ascertain
the same, If not, then to be sent into any
convenient port Of the United States"
Mr.. PindalI after some predatory re-
marks, offered the following, as an addi-
tional section, which was agreed to, viz
" That every person who shall import
into the United States, or Knowingly aid
or abet the Importation toto the United
States of any African negro, or other per-
son with intent to sell or use such negro
or other person. SO TO be imported, as a
slave, or shall purchase any such slave.
knowing him or her to be thus imported,
shall, on conviction thereof, in any Cur
cult court of the United States, be pun.
ished by death.
After unsuccessful attempts of Mr..
Strother to strike out the third and fourth
sections, the committee rose and reported
the amendments to the House, which were
concurred ia and
The bill was ordered to be engrossed for
third reading.

view--and that be had sighified bis posi-.
tive intention TO acknowledge the iade-
pendence Of the reyolted colonies, and by
amicable negotiations, to secure as early
as possible commercial intercourse with
them, and, indeed, to render it exclu-
sively in favor Of Old Spain, in return
for so great boon. The deposed King,
it is further said, had declared, that the
Prince of peace, as he was styled, shall
never pclute the soil of Spain any more
that he will yield to the enlightened spirit
OF the times, in removing every obstacle
to the happiness of the people, and the i'm
provement Of the government, according
TO the Counsels of the wisest Statesmen
that the country affords, and who are
most likely to possess the confidence oil
the people. 1t is intimated that measures
10 favour of Charles have been some time
in agitation, and are too we'll digested
and too powerfully supported for Ferdi-
nand TO be able TO resist them.
The accounts from ST. Petersburch in
form us, that the great demand there for
gold and silver bullion is beginning TO de-
crease; the Government is willing to take
the gold, but having no longer the same
pressing occasion for j. as formerly, will
not agree TO pay for it before July next,
thus requiring credit Of more than six
months; this condition is an eGectual
damp to speculations in bullion, which
may therefore be expected to go in search
of better market.
