She commenced the very year of our Independence — 1776 — by an act in Parliament, for the Suppression of the Slave Trade, and has continued her efforts i"" that direction, till she has incorporated that, as a new crime into the law of nations, the practice of which for centuries had been a source of profit to her high- est nobility, and even royalty itself had not scorn- ed to share in its guilty gains. Her boasted town of Liverpool, is built up on the bones, and cement- ed with the blood of th...ousands of those unoffend- ing Africans, stolen by her citizens from their native forests, and butchered with every appliance i of cruelty, in the baracoons of the coast, or I the fetid holds of her Slave-Ships ! ' By constant exertions in the same direction, she has induced other nations by treaty, to concur in ' her views, until there are upwards of thirty i European and American States, who have declared 1 the trade piracy. Her last effort in this way, if public rumor be true, is a project to join with France and Spain, in some arrangement for the protection of Cuba, coupled with a stipulation for the more effectual suppression of the Slave Trade, and the gradual abolition of slavery in the Island.
