Excerpt from Speech of the Right Hon. George Canning, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, &C. &C. &C: On Laying Before the House of Commons the Papers in Explanation of the Measures Adopted by His Majesty's Government With a View of Ameliorating the Condition of the Negro Slaves in the West Indies, on Wednesday, the 17th of March, 1824; To Which 18 Added The subject of Negro Slavery is calcu lated to excite the deepest interest in every heart endued with the best feelings of hu manity; and it is but natural to believe that every Englishman, conscious as he must be of the blessings enjoyed under the most liberal Government, in a Land of Freedom, would derive much pleasure from the pe rusal of the eloquent Speech delivered by Mr. Canning. Under such an impression, and with a view to furnish the Public with a correct copy of the Address which has given such universal satisfaction, even in the imperfect shape of a newspaper report, the Publisher applied to the Right Honorable Secretary for his concurrence in the present publication a favor which has been granted.
