A Debate In the House Of Commons Concerning
their Treatment.

IovpoN. Feb. 22.-In the House Of Com
mons tonight, Mr.. whi.bread, member for Bed
ford. moved resolution 10 regard to the treat
ment Of fugitive slaves, calling for the revo-
cation Of the recent circulars issued by the
Admiralty. lie asserted that these instructions
sent to the commanders OF tho men-of-war
Indicated an inclination on the part OF the Gov
eminent to abandon the traditional policy Of
England IN regard to slavery;
MIR. HAnbury, member Tor IamwOrth, Liberal
Conservative, moved as an amendment to tho
resolution "that II IL desirable to await further
Information from tho Royal Commission APP
pointed TO inquire into tho subject" lie
maintained that the circulars contrasted
favorably with those issued oy the Lib
the United States and Russia were great
slavc-owning powers they would not have
tolerated the high-handed doctrines which
were now proclaimed II would not be credit
able for England to take up position now
which she could not have maintained against
attempting by mere declaration OF Its feelings
to enforce the ol servance OF English municipal
law upon foreisn nations. The Government
were quite justified IN referring the subject to a
commission, n only for tho object OF seeing TO
what extremity It could push English municipal
law IN favor of the slave, anu III order tnat the
question might not bo decided under the infiu-
ence Of popular excitement
Mr. Foster believed both policy and law would
vlndicate the position that a slave once received
on q British man-of war could not he surren-
dercd. There WAS not sn,le e. cons1'tnemCy @ IN
the idea OF waiting for the report Of the Com
mission.
SIR John Holker, Attorney-Gcneral. declared
that the las' circular correctly defined the law
Mr. Gathorne Hardy, Secretary Of State for
War. said the Government hoped by means "
the CommissiCn to be able 10 reconcile tho

liberty with their own international oblieations
