HOUSE OF COMMONS June ..
/ Lpon lie grant Of Eeoo, 600 10 HE Y. States
u .lmefica.
Mr.. Beruel WISHED for some accurate ln-
formation upon this snbject. He had heard
that sum was TO be given in lea of certain
slaves taken during the late war some of
whom had been seat 10 Sierra Leone, and
others To Trinidad.
Mr.. llefries said the information of the
Honorable aieinber was, SO Ear, perfectly
correct
Mr. Bernal said, he had also heard that
these slaves were employed at what was
called free labor. The sum paid by gov
eminent for them was t75 each. This
was Il large sum- aud he wished to know
what these liberated oegroes had done, IN
the way OF labor, 10 reimburse as for our
expenses. He also wished to know what
became Of them.
Mr.. Canning said he would give the
Hon. Member all the information in his
power. The subject alluded TO was the
cause OF some difference between this
country and America, in the Convention
Of 1918. In consequences of the discus
sion that took place ON the occasion, the
matter WAS referred to thiid power, the
Emperor of Russia, who decided that the
Commissioners should be appointed to va
iue the slaves. This arraggemL mt was car
red into effect, aud the sum for which the
vote before the House WAS now called for,
was that awarded by the Commissioners.
He would admit that it was perfectly na-
tural for the Honorable Member to ask for
information as 10 the situation of these ne
gr0es, and what became of them but he
was equally certain that this consideration
had no reference whatever 10 the vote be-
fore the House. AS 10 the original defen-
ton of these negroes, il could not, for "A
moment, be supposed that any British
commander could think of restoring them
TO their owners, Or that the government
could sanction such restoration. He would
again humbly submit to the House, that
considerations of this nature formed no
part of this discussion. The sum deman-
Died was the consequence Of the con-
tract entered into With another govern
ment, and it was now 10 be paid, in cxecu-
ton of that contract
Mr.. Hume thought the vote should be
delayed until the information was given.
Mr. Canning meant to say that the vote
ought to be granted in discharge Of a pc i
tive contract. lie would have no ohjec-
tion to give the information required,
when he could ascertain the facts.
The vote was agreed 10.
