(The following speech was delivered less than three months after Douglass had attended the Anti-Slavery Convention on Nantucket Island, at which he agreed to lecture for the Massachusetts Society; it is one of his first recorded anti-slavery speeches)
THE CHURCH AND PREJUDICE
(Speech delivered at the Plymouth County Anti-Slavery Society, November 4, 1841)
FIGHTING REBELS WITH ONLY ONE HAND
(Douglass' Monthly, September 1861)

WHAT THE BLACK MAN WANTS
(At the Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society in Boston, April, 1865, Douglass delivered the following speech on the subject: The Equality of all men before the law; Note that this was given within days of the close of the Civil War and the assassination of President Lincoln.)

He set sail on the Cambria for Liverpool on August 16, 1845, and arrived in Ireland when the Irish famine was just beginning.

No mention of speeches only lectures

He was forced to flee to Europe to avoid capture and the possibility of return to slavery. He left the United States in August 1845 and embarked on a lecture tour of England, Scotland and Ireland. During the lecture tour, which lasted 20 months, anti-slavery advocates in England raised funds and negotiated the purchase of his freedom. While there, Douglass also raised the funds necessary to start his own anti-slavery newspaper upon his return to the United States.

This is all I can find, sorry.
Good Luck!
