Of this practice Mr. BRODONAM, in his able Work, entitled, An Inquiry into the Colonial Policy of the European Powers, has . given • game examples in writers of the Sift reputation among the apologias of the Welt Indian fyftern. The cart-whip is the planter's ordinary intim went, both of coercion and pumffiment. When teed 1 for the former pnrpofe by the driver in the field, it is generally eppliedto the poor labourers in their work ing potlure, without (topping to (trip them of the clothes by which their backs may happen to be del -1 fended. The effed is fufficiently fevere ; yet not fo much fo as commonly to leave permanent marks on the body. But when a punidiment is to be delfte rately inflicted, the patient is firetched upon the ground, with his lirrbs extended, and the cart whip, which, in the hands of an eipatt driver, is a Mod mercilefs inftrument of torture, is vertically applied, with all his force, and with an iteration fomttimes extending to an hundred lathes, upon that Refhy pan of the naked frame, which alone can receive fuch extreme difcipline, without great danger to life. Not only is the fcarf (kin peeled off by every comae of the lalb , but deep incifions are made, which oda leave tailing fears of a (hocking appearance i from thefe fears very few field negroes are wholly exempt. This general and notorious fad having been no ticed by the Abolitionias, iitthe firft difcu ffi on on the Slave Tride, but without a diaind fpecification su it would teem, of the part of the body which Lire theft badges of cruelty, a tour to the Windward IRands was written by one Weft Indian Planter of great eminence (Sir WILLIAM You so), and publifb ed in a well known work of another (Hidory of the Weft Indies, by Mr. BRYAN EDWARDS), in which , the following pelage appears : " I particularly no ticed every negro whom I met or overtook on the road : of thefe, I counted eleven who were dreffed as field negroes, with only trowfert on, and advert ing to the evidence on the Slave Trade, I patties 'lady remarked that not one of the eleven had a (iw?": sit mark or (car of the whip,•&c."- 0 Never par. mg a nave, without obferving his back either in the 'field, or on the road, or wenches walling in the ri ier, I have not teen one back marked betides that of the woman obferved on Mr. G.'s date, &c." Sir WILLIAM Yount'', °hied in bringing forward this (tatement is obvioutly to difcredit the accounts which have been given of the feverity of Well In-, dial' bondage. He is bimfelf owner of feveral plan tations, and therefore mull have had ample means of, afcerraining the real Rate of the cafe. But rude is the unfairnefs of the impreffion which his account is calculated to produce, an nnfairnefs which could not efcApe the notice of any man having the flighted ac , quaintanc; with Weft Indian affairs, that Mr. Ea waans thought himfelf bound, from regard, it is to be prefumed, to his own character for veracity, to fubjoin to the ;mirage the following note : In the Well Indies the punifhment of whipping is comtnonly inflicted, nut on the backs of the Negroes, as tradifed in the chic-Wine of the Brityk folerurt, but more humanely and with much leis danger, on porter pojeriores. It is therefor* no proof that the Negroes whom Sir Wit.ciast Yousa infpeeted had efcaped flagellation, becaufe their (boulders bore no impreffion -of the whip. This acknowledgment I owe to truth and candour." The reasSdannotator well knew that W the jolt and neceffary fentence of a court martial were to be exe cuted* the fame inftrument, and to the fame extent as the arbitrary, and often capricious mandate of a Weft Indian overfeer, the back could not be the feat of ponifhment without certain death to thesufferer t But of the candour of Mr. EDWARDS as an hiftorian. in what regards this haplefs rue, Mr. BROUGHAM has furnithed ample illuftraticna, and one initance of it well deferves to be noticed: A Mr. GALLOPER, a, planter of St. Domingo, was celebrated for his mild treatment of his Raves, and the confequence of his lenity was, that they increafed in numbers very is.. picqy ; but about the year *773, this gentleman died, and the negroes found a new mailer of an oppofite charm:ter, who treated them fo badly, that their numbers, inßead of increafing as before, continually declined. Thefe falls were ptiblifited by Mr. CLeax, son in 1788, in his Way on the Impolicy of the Slave Trade; and as that period was three years an. terior to the revolution in St. Domingo, of conrfe there could be no room for fufpicion, that with to the events of that revolution Mr. Cumesom could have deviled or mifreprefented the fag of the ,reverie of treatment upon GALLISIR'S eftate, which had taken place fifteen years before he wrote; yet Mr. EDWARDS , in his Hißory of St. Domingo, for, the purpofe of fupporting an abfurd and mifehievous calumny on the oppreffed African race (the charge of their being wholly deßitute of the natural fenti. ment of gratitude), has inferted the former part of Mr. CLANlllll)teg anecdote, but who ll y !torrid the death of Mr. GALLIraa, ado& chow trea tm en t ty th e new meer, and has then given a (hoe ing account of the exceftes committed in the infurreaion by the No. gross of this eltate, as if the peculiar indulgence and kind treatment of their owner had produced the effect of makiii - them more ferocioya chap the reit of the infurgents. QI fuch mitreprefentation, if wilful, for fuch a purpofe, it would be difficult to fpeak with the re prehenfion it deferves ; and yet, as Mr. Beovottasi obferves, the mutilation of the cafe could not be acci dental. It would be difficult, indeed, to believe, that (ninon/Won an advocate as Mr. EDWARDS had not ,read the work of to dillingniOsed an opponent as Mr. whofe way words tod he in part des poti tkas • occafion. Befides, Mr. Eswaans bad been at' Cape Francois, in the near. Reighbourhood . of this eßate during the infeereelonl and as he tells cis, with Mr. C 14111111014 that the name of Mr. Get.ttrite had been proverbial for his humanity—" as happy as GatAirsa's Negroes," it could hardly have efcaped his notice, that fo remarkable a eharaeer, who had Uteri dead near twenty years, was not living at that intereßing period. And even were it poffrble to ac quit this writer of wilful mifreprefentation in this cafe s his reamers in confidently alerting fo extimordinary an infante of depravity in direct oppofition to the truth of the cafe, mull be fatal to his credit as an hißorian. It is painful to roake'focli obfervatioss on a writer now no more ; but Mr. Eowaans, under the ma& of an affefted candour and moderation, has done more to malted the public mind, at the expence of truth, and of the opprelted African race, than all the other advocates of the •Slaire Sytem united ; and we mutt not fuller thecae& of millions now living, and my• riads yet unborn, to be prejudiced by bile tendernefs to the memory of thedead. Your's, AK •lOLITIOYIST. ' EAST INDIES. LETTER 'ROM AN OFFICER or mow RIME to THE HUT INDUS, TO ENISNO IN LONDON. My Id told you of the misfortunes of Monson's detachment, it brought them, I think, to Coumbul lee Nana, near the ILakairee pars; they were there detainesi for ten days, (offering incredible hardthips ; the Mecums annoyed them moll dreadfully, and the profpea of volitive Rarvatinn compelled them to ha zard the croffmg in this, about one-fourth of the whole periffied, they were for the moll part camp fol• lowers. Upon the 27th they reached Rampora. In. the whole camp there were.left only three (mall fifes of tents to fhelter all the officers, and, from the loth, until their arrival at Rantpora, it hardly ever ceafed raining. The officers and men have loti every thing they had, many of the latter their wives and children; few of the officers brought to Rampora any property beyond what they a&nally carried on their backs.— At Rampora, I bnpe they are fafe, but I can tell yon, that, were Holkar a man of enterprise, they could not be in a worfe place, for no provifions were laid in there, and a few thoufand bode would effec tually flop all kinds of fupplies from reaching them, toilets they were . aceompanied by a very ffrong force, but he appears inadive, and has not, thank Goo, croffed the Chumbuli ; were he to do it even now, Mowsoo could not be fared*. When Colonel MoNsoa commenced his retreat. he ordered Houglaife Ghur to be evacuated, and the garrifon to proceed to Kattsh ; it cou6Sed of a cot* pang of Sepoys and two fubalterns ; they arrived at Kuttah and were delivered up to Holkar by the Ra jah—our/rind. He made the Sepoys pile their arms and difmiffed them ; the officers he keeps and, treats well. • A (mall army is now getting ready ; it is, 1 fup -1 pole, to cover the country, thould Holkar attempt to invade, but this I do not imagine he will—there fore no army will take the field. but that which will be headed by our gallant Commander in Chief.— It appears extraordinary, that notwithtlanding the experience we have had ofthe inefficiency of our army to defend our extended conquefis, together with our late misfortunes, and the holt of foes which now ap pear riling ageing us, that there is no increafe to our army. We have lately obtained the moll pofitiv e proof of every man of any power in our country, be ing in abfolute alliance with Holkar. Ido not like our fituation—our treafuries are empty—our maga,, zines exhaufted—the army to take the field is in want of every thing, and there is nothing nearer than Cal cutta. Military economy will drive us from the country fooner than powerful legions could dii. The civil fervice ought to be cut; it is now a much more advantageous line than ever ; they have more power —more grandeur. I yaw a lad, not five years in this country, left year girdling the Commander in Chief bitufelf to take a particular fort--his Excellency would not attempt it until authorized by him 1 There is a report that ST. Joao does not go home. I do not believe it; and there is alto a report that General Ws u.sst.s r is to have a general command 7of all the troops in the conquered country—this, I think, more robable. I with mo fuscerely,.,pot only on my own but on the public account, to fee you affifting General La R e during the enfuing campaign—it will not be a fighting one—it will be againtl our fupplies b and one of devaf tation.

AMU, SEPT. 2, 1804.—The fate of Monfon's de tachment has been a mop difaßrons one. 00 the 2 tit ult. in the evening, he left a prong gerrifon in Ram. poora, and with the remainder of his detachment, making from 1500 to 2000 firelocks,and with s bow. itzers, be commenced his retreat towards this place. This meafure he was compelled to adopt. He bad not fufficient fupplies for the whole in the fort I and the army of 1-Icilkar,, with a prodigious train of artil lery, was in fight. He wilted alto to favour the jundion of fax battalions of Scindia's, who had agreed to join, and who had 21 guns. The Jyapoor Rajah had alfo fent a force to his affiance t but the vici. nity of Holkar deterred thtir approach. Early on the morning of the 22d be arrived at the River Ba napa. It had been fordable the day before, but had, without any fall of rain, overflowed its banks. When he reached it, it was near a mile broad, and rapid.— Upon it there were only two boats. On the tad he croffed part of his bag gage , his treafure, and fi x companies of Sepoys. The enemy on this day ap. peared, bat attempted nothing. The next day was employed in croffing his troops, &c. Still he did not experience any interruption from the enemy, altho' they appeared in vaR numbers. Capt. Nicholl, with the treafure, &c. moved on towards Coocbeaul Ghur. On the morning of the 24th the river was fordable in ever/ place, and the enemy in large bodies were fern eroffing bcth above and below our detachments on the Rampoora fide. Monfon remained with the ad battalion, which was fu spotting the piequets ! This battalion wes about Goo !hong, and the picquets con fined of five companies, completed to too each.— About ten o'clock the enemy's cavalry charged this body, and were repulfed with great lofs. The in fantry and ar:illery of the enemy arrived about a s o'clock, and opened a heavy fire upon our party. They at length charged, but were again beaten back. Monfon raw there was nothing left for it but to re turn their charge, and he led it with great gallantry. He beat the enemy back in every quarter, and got poffeffion of eight guns, Come of them sS. pounders I but, as they had carried away the limbers and every thing belonging to the guns, he could make no ate of them, while cannon upon him opened from eve r y quarter. He was compelled to quit his prize ; the enemy followed him, and compleated the daieat of this gallant party of the 2d Battalion : only one Offi eer and t 27 men were fared a his Aid do-Camp and with — th t e h gallant a sum. Major Perfian interpreter were killed; he himfelf was w oun d. ed, as were molt of the rn Opotffiaiegn Crockall, whom youer whom h th m w hi her k o i r lle s d inui wcasrr and elv c e, a mutt recoiled at Cawnpore. As foon as it was dark he marched off from this bank of the Bann:pa with his detachment, leaving one of the howitzers. Early next morning, the 25th, he found himfelf furrounded by the enemy, who continued to charge him the whole of that, day without making any inapreffion upon his line ; about ten o'clock of that night he reached Coocheaul Ghor. After a march of fifty miles he found Captain Nicholl had arrived at that place eatly-in the morning ; from him he l e a rne d, that upon his arrival the Commandant of Scindia's Battalion had fent him a meffage, demanding his tree fure and guns, and upon his non-compliance had at.. tacked him. Captain Nicholl retreated into the town of Coocheaul Ghur; they opened to glans upon'its ruined wall, and repeatedly charged and entered the town, but always found too gallant a refkßance. , Upnn the approach of Monf an, thefe battalions, with •all their guns, drew off and joined Holkar's troops, I fught to have mentioned that Holkar, on the aath, biought Op fifty.two guns agaitat Moan's pic kets, ate. The enemy reached Coocheaul Ghur at the fame time with oar detachment; next morning, the 26th, they appeared in immenfe numbers, having taken up pofitions all round the town, comnlearly inverting it. About twelve o'clock at night of that day, Moasoa moved out ; he had not gone above a cofs when a furious charge was made upon that part of the line where the itth Regiment was, they heard them coin ing on, and in filence referved their fire until they were dole upon them, when they gave them a volley, which did fwch execution, that this party never ap peared again. While se Coocheaul Ghur, he re. ,ceived a finnmons from Holkar, to Which he returned 'no anfwer, but his emiffaries fuccetded too well in corrupting our Sepoys ; a grenadier company of Se. poys marched over to him ; during the whole of the 27th, he was occupied in repelling the charges of the enemy. Towards the evening, a moll determined one was made; with about 14,000 hark, he charged the four fides of our Cquare.—Monfon lays, and fo do feveral Officers who were in Tippoo's wars, with more gallantry than ever they taw his cavalry charges they were received with great firmnefs , many were received upon the bayonet, and it is cotlaputed that upwards of coo men were killed. A few of ours cut down. Near Hendouen the detachment halted, ami ne= day, the 28th, got through the Branner Pall, the enemy hill continuing to dillies us. He had with him fix pieces, which were immediately opened when it was found neceffary to halt..the part of our column for the rear to clofe up, and' upoh filch ow cations the enemy charged. On this fide of Penner, when Monfon halted, Holkar had.brought aft tgreat number of guns, and he commenced a verffieavy cannonade, which compelled oar detachment to move off. They were Rill followed until they ar rived at Futtyponr Survey, 12 cots from Agra, where they remained the whole of the day, and moved on at night. In the conftifion occafioned by marching through a town at night, the different corps were feparated and Monfon himfelf was left, with four or five Officers, to purfue his march. The corps in this fituation did not wait for them who, from fatigue, could not keep up, but pufhed on. Ip this march we fuffered a fevere lofs ; the people of the cluntry role and cut up ouz people coming along in (mill must ben. At this moment men are coming in, fome without their notes, others wanting their hands.— The wounded Officers had never been dreffed. I never witneffed fo horrible a fight as I beheld that morning ; die wounded and fick officers upon horfes clinging round their neck:, unable to keep their feats, exhaufled from the fatigues they had undergone.— The enemy followed our party to within two cob of the walls of Agra. In the courfe of the 3oth and 31ft, about one half of the number of men who marched from Rampoora, arrived, many of them wounded ; the rent had fallen in the different actions, or had fallen into the hands of the enemy. The dif ranee of the Bannapa river to this place is near -- cols ; and this march was performed in five days/ the circumbnces under which it was performed are more alraordinary than the rapidity of it. Until they reached Branner the troops had nothing to , eat but the green hulk of the bijira s at Branner they got fome gram ; officers and men filled their pockets with it, and had only that to fublift upon until they reached Agra. This march may with propriety be called a battle of five days, for there was not an hour withont actual fighting or fome alarm. Dr. BURGH and Lieutenants ROUNINO and HARRIS loft the detach• ment near Futtypour, were taken, and have been by the molt cruel tortures put to death. It is a moll ferious difafter this ; the whole cowl- try is now in arms, and Holkar exulting within ten cofs of Agra : be was put in his aumils, and, for the time, taken poffetfion of the country. We have new nothing but enemies from this to Oujein, and every power has afied in a manner fo decidedly inimical, that we (hall now be under the neceffity of fubduing them. On the other fide of the Jumna, I find the country there alto in arms, and all my fonplies for the army flopped. The Commander in Chief will be here immediately ; but unlefs he leaves the country, which has (hewn that eagernefs for revolt without a mufket, he can collie& no army. I de not know what Holkar's intentions are ; I think he will go towards Delhi. It is now faid he is waiting for his infantry and artillery; he has about 175 pieces of cannon, and I underhand they are (erred nearly as well as onr own. He has twenty-four battalioas and tweatp fire thotiftuld heap.
