From Awe de rive the following information. ' The African slave trade owes iut origin to thitirtitvi tugnese. In 1442 as expedition was. Sued one by Prince.lleru7, third son uf John the Ist, of Portupli . and placed under the command of Gonzales Beldam . and this officer brought home ten negro slaves, the fustT. ever seeu io western Europe. Two years afterwards, an association Was formed, for the purpose of obtaining slaves. and - these Ward sold not only in Portugal, bat other countries. Muir the discovery of the West Indies, the trade iacremoil rapidly. In 1507, fifteen years after the dismeryte Hayti, the natives were victims of the most basalt" outrage., and it is said even the good Lii Clime. in order to save the remnants of the wretched Cariba,Wliki : resisted the attempts. to enslave time, as trails 'hags were able; proposed that the African. rict should substituted as the object of this inhuman trek._ ' In '1517, Charles V issued s psitepi authOrkang jt,;" iiist4obsequently, in 15e, under thtvehilis rigs a'64.mr . soiree, revoked the authority grunted tad* toldensel, nail emancipated the slaves made- wider tintspiet4..; His successor did not "tread in. his &insteps," lowed the trade to be continued. The English did tot 2 at this time compete in the business with the Span- • lards or Portuguese. who seem to hare ruled theAnsew lean and African seas. One exception is recorded,: that of Sir . John Hawkins, who, in 1562, ceputrotii. three hundred slaves on the Coast of Guinea; smilax them in Hayti to the Spaniards. As the Eiliciiihinse.' rine rose in strength and increased in numbers, /fit ad.' venturous captains found their profitin makinginetrro sions into South America and sacking the Spanish towns. In 1583, Queen Elizabeth, who is said to have been olutukti at thecondJet of Sir Joint Haw=' kilts, chartered an Anglo-African Cotnmercial Com pany, and in 1630 another under the auspices of Charles 1., went into the traffic upon a large scale with the regular system. As the English began to settle their American Colonies, slaves were carrie d them in great numbers. In 1713, by the famous arrangement called the As sientio Contract, the carrying - trade to South Ameri ca was placed in the hands of an English Merchatile Association, and from this time the sale ofslaves be came an important item in English commerce. Pre view to the American Revolution, there were 34,000 slaves in the Anglu-A merican Colonies and the whole annual importation tinder the British flag amounted to 60.000 souls. Among the earliest opponents to the traffic was Bichiird Baxter, a man .moose memory and works are highly valued by many religious communi ties ofthe present day. Public opinion began to ma ture on the subject through the eighteenth century. and many eminent writers took ground againstthe CCM tinuance of the u tide. It seemes however that the feel ing uftho conscientious had not been fully enlisted a guinst it, and John Newton who afterwards became so conspicuoui , for his piety, did not hesitate even while a professing Chri.ui•tn. to make several Guinea voy ages, without having his serenity of mind in the least impaired by his undertaking. In 1772 the principle of slavery received its alai blow in England by the decision of Lund Mansfield in the case of the negro Somerset, one which shines forth among the decisions of the King's Bench. is fa miliar to Lawyers, and is on the lips of the benevoistat throughout. the world. The press took up the princi ple then established, and the Poets iu the fervor.of their enthusiasm, declared, "Slaves cannot breathe in England." " The first time the question was agitated in Parlia ment it was by the celebrated Mr. Hartley; menthes. for Hull, in 1776. Although he Riled in carrying his resolutions againm the slave trade, the subject was thenceforward constantly agitated. In 1787 a private committee was fitrmed for procuring its abolition, Wilberforce and Clarkson were two of its rllOlll - 11/0 , tive and conspicuous members. Burke, For, Fitters& Grenville yielded to the force of their arguments msd influence, a large number of Peers went with them, and the Clergy and the Universities added their poirt erful support. On the 11th of Jaly, 1788, a bill was passed regu lating the trade so long as it existed, and limiting the number of "negroes in cnrgo" in proportion to the to n ' nap of the vessel. 1791.

Fur sixteen years the struggle contianedp During this period Denmark and the United ckasyst prohibited the traffic. The former country pnaiad the necessary laws in 1792, and Congress did so is' 1794. It was during the administration of Mr Fox thattim. abolition of the slave trade was finally determined .0p on. Two bills were passed in 1306, restraining and, checking the practice, and soon after his death, his test wishes were carried out by the passage of a bill. introluced into the Hcmse of Lords by Lord Grenville. This gave it its death blow. Napoleon on his return from Elba, abolished the French slave trade, and in 1817 LIM, XVIII confirm ,ed the decree. Holland forbade it in 1814.
