- . WEST INDIA SLAVERY. LETTER VIII. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. s t a—lt is not without regret that I am compelled to ent er into such frequent, and minute examitistion of, details: but as it is the only course by which the elueii. dation of truth oan be effected, so it is the only oaf o pen for me to pursue. have now earnestly to call upon those who are in terested, on the one side or the other, on the subject of save r ! , and especially on those interested in the caust of truth, to / follow me'carefully into some farther re marks upon the Haitian document. My last letter contained a disproof of some of the arguments of AWOL= in favour of the accuracy that document, and I have now to advert to an ingot,* that he makes, whether the Reviewer was igner that the American official par extends from Septa.. her to September, and the Haitian year from January to January? His argument is to this effect : How can the viewer protest againit the accuracy of the Haitian ms. turas, by comparing them with the American official' returns, and pointing out the difference, when the period is not one and the same? now what are the precise words of the Reviewer? " If we compare this statement" (that is of the Haitian Government) 4 , with the official " returns of the United States, we shall fmd a discre• ft p a ncy, which makes it impossible that both official do " euments can be correct." All that I have to stew, therefore is, that the difference which these two official, docimients demonstra t ecrrectr.he A is sufficient to prove,tooielreport rthastrbtoatih cannot : luded to, accompanies a letter from W. H. Crawford, Esq. Secrkary of . the Treasury, addressed to the Honourable the President of the Senate, dated 18th of January, 1823, and printed by order of the Senate of the United States; and it is perfectly true, that the cal culation is made upon the American official year, namely, from the Ist of October, 1821, to the 30th of', September, 1822. The Haitian document to which I shall now refer, is that printed in the British and Colonial Weekly Register tor the 25th of September, 1824, asserted by the Editor to be taken from the original. it merely hays, " pour " rani ee, 1822, an 19 L'lndependanceA" It is not stated when the Haitian official year begins or ter minates ; but as ANcLus has seen the original doers! ment, I shall take for granted that the periods of time rthich he gives are correct; and that the Haitian offi. vial year begins at the commencement of the year, and terminates at its close. In this case, the comparison of the Reviewer is strictly correct, with respect to V 3 days out of the 365. These days are identically the same, in both documents. The remaining 92 days of 1822, are not included in the American return , which, instead of them, necessaril included the 92 l ' astdays of the yesir 1821. The a of time, however, are exactly of the same darasion. If it can be 'hewn, under Oise circumstances,. that 'betels a material discrepancy between the two doce4 meets, anti if it be admitted ; that the American docu-1 menu is correct, th en am I justi fi ed in saying more than titit which the Reviewer has said I can say, that the Haitian document is wrong. The Reviewer merely said, that both could not be right. What, then, is the extent of inaccuracy on the side of the Haitian document ? I answer thus, (if, after my ex planation, I may be allowed to use the American do thment at a eounter-document on th is occasion„) —the Haitian document states'ihat the tonnage employed b i t the United States in :importing cargoes into Haits,l amounted to 88,478 tons. The American document stares that it only amounted to 44,118 tuns. The tian document states the value of the cargoes of these' vessels at 6,641,57 Q dollars ; the America/a document states them as being worth. only 2,119,811 dollars. In the first instance making a difference of one-half, andl in the other of two-thirds. I cannot conceive how it Is possible to controvert this reasoning, except by iisert• ing that the American document is talse,or by contend mg that the trade carried on during the ninety-two last days of the year-1822, varying entirely from the same trade carried on during the sense metier of days in 1821, made all the difference. But Amours thinks that be can supply another explanation, and that explanation appears to me infinitely more absurd than the.conjecobi ral ones which I myself have supplied, becatise his ex., planation is neither more nor less than almost physically impossible, and it certainly is incredible. These Ms" strong statements, and if the Ultra-Abolitionists alto* these statements to be uncontradiated, they will be rah! of the greatest cowardiee. I challenge them to the proof. AnctLos states that it is "a we ll -known fact, that many vessels clear out from the United Stater for Cuba, as being the first island in their route,. ai being for 'the West. Indies generally, 4 6 which, rievertkekis, land their eargoa at Haiti ;" consequently; in the American re turns, the American export tonnage to Cuba must be unfairly increased, and the American etport tonnage to Haiti unfairly diminished. Now, with respect to the first point, that American vessels touch at Cuba on' their way to Haiti, I assert, shortly, that that is not the case; and that the "well-known fact' of ANCILUI is utterly incredible; but that I may not assert - anything without a clear explanation of my reasons, I subjoin is a sate some observations on the navigation between the United States, Cuba, and Haiti, which incontestibly es tablish my position.t With respect to the other asset--; tion of the American exports to Cuba being unfairly increased, I have the means of sheering the utter un-., possibility of such a statement being tree. ANGLIA; will not pretend to deny, if his argument be correct, the exports ham the United States to Cuba being increased, in the mode stated by him, that the imports frost Cuba: to the United States, in return, must be less, in very nearly the same proportion in which be contends that the American exports to Haiti were diminished.— Now bow stand the data on this subject ?

Official Report already - gifted to, motes that the is. posit 'onstage from the United Sentm to Cuba, for the year 1822, amounted to 108,894 tons, of which 6,986 seem foreign; and, the same -document says, that the quantity of tonnage employed in the imposts. from Cuba into the United States, amounted (instead of being 44,'.f%5 tons less than the exports) to 125.895 tons, of which 7,490 tons were foreign ; so that, instead q being less than the amount of tonnage employed in the exports, which was necessary to establish Auokuill proposition, that document thews khe imports from( Cuba into the United States actually amounted tq 19,071 tons more than the exports from the United, States to that Island. But if It would be more satisfactory to ANOLUS to be overthrown by an authority on his own side, I refer him to a celebrated pamphlet, intituled 44 East and Wed Lydia Sugars;" and in page 67 of that pamphlet he will find the following passage : Besides a considerable a trade which this Island (Haiti) maintains with France a and Germany, and the amount of British Manufac " tutus which it annually consumes, it carries on a very *extensive commercial intercourse with the United States." Now, if the Author of the East and West India Si.rvrs had not been more accurate than tinocus and Mr. Whitmore, he would have talked of exported cargoes from the United States into Haiti, valued at six millions of dqllars. But what does he say? alt ap pears from eclat documents laid before Cargrets.that so in the year ending September, 1821, there had been a imported into the United States from Haiti, produce amounting in value to 2,246.237 dollars, and exported from the United States, maze? TO HAITI," Inlet by the way of Cuba, as Avows implies,) "pods amounting in " value to 2,270,601 dollars." Take the case of the tonnage which Mr. Whitmore and ANOLUS estimate at 88,478 tons, how does the an thor of The East and West India Sugars confirm their authority in that respect? He says, a The ton. " nage lielonging to the United States, employed in this " trade, amounted to fifty thousand tons." The Ame rican document for 1822, states it to have been 44,800 tons. Perha?s ANIMUS would immediately argue, if I were to give frith an opportunity, that the water of the pamphlet on East and West India Sugars adverts to the year 1821? 1 give him the full benefit of that dis tinction, but I will chew him, from the following state : ment, derived from a genuine and not from a spurious document, the near equality in value of the exports and imports for the three years, 1821, 1822, and 1823 &roars from and 'smart into the Thorne STATIS, with respect to Ham, doyley the Years 1621, 1622, and NU.

Inginac, the Secretary of the Haitian Govern " ment, is altogether fallaci-ms. It may be so; and iti 61 is fur M. Inginac to vindicate the traM of his IffiCial 44 rrpresetttations." Now it is necessary to look back for one moment, to know bow the case really stand:—an impression is to be made in the House of Commons, against the West Indians, and in favour of the Abolitionists, employing these terms in their common and popular seine—Mr. Whitmore receives statements from certain Aboli tionists ; he introduces them to the House of Com mons as having the authority of an official document; he reasons upon them absolutely, without qualification ; the document is sent by M. Inginac, of Haiti, to a Gentleman residing in London, notoriously favourable to the cause of abolition, in the extreme sense of the term ; the writer of the article-in the Quarterly IICV:Cid points out to the Public the fallacy of the reasoning of Mr. Whitmore, without imputing any improper mo tives to that individual, but impeaching hi. arguments on the ground of the inaccurate data on which he sup ported them : and the answer which A MAUS offers to these statements is in substance—That although the Reviewer may be in the right, it is for M. Inginac to, vindicate the truth of his official representations. It is well -known, that thousands and tens of thou -sands of British subjects, possessing West India pro ferty, in which millions of British capital have been legally invested, must be deeply, nay, vitally, interested, in the accuracy of statements concerning such affairs, as were fomnally 'made in the House of Commons, by *one of its moat respectable Members, and purporting to be founded upon the irrefragable authority of official documents. And whoever is acquainted with the Sub.; ject, cannot but have observed the strong, and Immo.; diate bearing, which the statements referred to ha upon the most fundamental points of the West India Controversy. If it could be shewn that slavery might be put an end to, without an injury of the most serious nature to the P roprietors of Slaves, no person withi4 the wallsof the House of Commons would dare to stand' up in defence of the continuation of the system. The Ultra Abolitionists contend, that there is no reason foo delaying the desired change, in as much at the work i'se cultivation can be success fully carried on by free la, bout, and the leading argument, the principal evideniq adduced in support and proof of this assertion, on which the very fate of the question depends, is tht instance of St. Domingo ;—its prosperous state of cultivation being proved, as 'is affirmed, by cited official dricuments. These documents, thus cited, are afterwatds cleaily proved to be incorrect, and calculated to deceive.— When these thfngs,are brought before- the Public, Alts come disposer' Of- the whole subject, as . :to their ham. rettness and fallacy, by the rematk : " It Maybe so ; ai arid it is for M.

Yesterday evening, about haltpast seven o'clock, the Grand Jury of the City of London came into Court at the Old Bailey, and returned five .true bills against Mr. 4 Flnuttkroy, for forgery. Each indictment consisted of a close roll of parchment, nearly as thick as a man's arm, and was said to contain upwards of a hundred counts, We believe it is now certain that the trial will take place on Saturday morning. . A fatal accident took place at Belper, on Wednesday evening the 90th instant, at the gas-works belonging to Messrs. Scutt. The cause of this unfortunate circuits. stance appears to be as , follows :—The great gasometer requiring tome adjustment, it was taken to pieces, and during that afternoon the men had put it together again; but whilst they were filling it with water, Sad before the hole through which the shaft pastes had beets sealed by the water, the gas was turned in. Of course the gas formed an explosive mixture with the common air that was in the meter, and this mixture arisen out, beside the shaft, was fiord by a candle which one of the' men held in Isis band. The. meter was consequently blown up, and the shock was so violent, that Francis Holliwell, a clock-maker, who was in the meter. house, was so much injured that he died in' a few minutes. Jobn Banks, the foreman of the works; had his collar-bone brokeo, and received a severe eon - tusion.on the shoulder, but great .hopes are entertained of his recovery. A mail who bad just entered the build. ing was slightly hurt; and one of the men on t h e out side had a piece of iron drivels into his.cheek. but he iv doing well.
