In the House OF Commas on the 2oh ~ july Mr. Brx

truth Is that the abolition of the slave trade although

bought alb the OF Brazil by the of

they rule (fiear) regret To say that Of ltr years
there has been relapse on the part OF ueebcfs

brst symptom Of relapse seen when the French
government under Quiet refused TO- ra,ily The Con

tated by Lord Aberdeen ITS refusal beng grounded on
some motion made in the French Assembly We
felt that they would not get a less number or ne

subordinate, and cheaper than negroes and pro
portion us they obtained coolies SO they would obtain
fewer negroes; and therefore, object being 10 PAT
end to the denominations of the African trade, think
right in opening the supply of coolies at TO the
French cuoniss am not who Ter that Convention
has been ratified but when II it wl of be laid
on the table Of the House There doubt that the
crime Of the slave trade does exist STILL and to great
extent; but, emitting for the omen all question Of The
Regis contract It chiefly confined to the supply Of Cuba
Now how the, carried out, aud bow have we been pre-
vented from putting an end TO M arises from the
ruion Of all IN. auhor Of Cu,d and the apathy Of the
Spanish government at Ma ird We have remonsraied
have sent proofs that the slave trade rs enor
mously carried on--ttat Captains General &C out
poor and return rich We were met by assn
RANGES that the orders sent out would be better
Observed and that there every disposition the
part Of the Spanish government TO fnl their treaty
gagemcnts OF conrsc obliged to take the answer
especially when admits the treaty obligations, and dc
cares the intention Of the Spanish government observe
them Then i'll Cuba when Consul sends proofs to
the Captain General that cargo OF slaves has been landed
NJ such time and place. aud calls upon him to punish The
offenders the Captain General says he Will make inquiries
aud after certain tine be reports that he has made
qures and is unable to trace any proof that landing
has been effected ard when he requested TO
tain plantations which suspected slaves have
been removed he replies that he has not the power to
do so conferred upon him by the home government
So we have Cuba setting nip Madrid and Madrid setting
up Cuba against US That IS a dsgracefu thing for
a country like Spain, and beevo that at last thoy
