ABSTRACT

After the rejection of the bill for the abolition of the slave trade by the late House of Commons, a fresh attempt was made to destroy the branch of the commerce of Great-Britain by another bill, winch, under presence of making further regulations to the mode of transporting the negroes across the Atlantic, would have so far increased their price, that the British planter must have been obliged to seek them from foreigners; but this attempt was also defeated.
