I' volent hind of Government Vera held out for their _protection. Bat as to those 'Oilcans who have been taught such • eful handicraft trades as that of cooper, carpenter, Illialcsnpith,s&c. and those who have been ena.:' ployed in the buiihAs . of sailor, sod I will add, but not with_sigoa.l thofidence, some of those also who love beenWsghe up as domestics, females as well as males, could not fail to find employment in a colony which presents such resources at Antigua—provided no impe diment; were to be thrown in their way by party feel- Ingo or the interested views of individuals. RELIGIOUS AN* MORAL CINDITIONS.—FIorn the ac counts given by the 'different parties at the ex sminations, it was collected that the number of adults baptise) was 189, viz. 78 males and 111 females. It appeared, how ever, that 209 were attendants at public worship, some regularly, others seldom: 44 atteaded Divine Service at the Church of England. 27 . the Methodist asapeL 153 the Moraviaos. Uprin the subject of Religious Instruction, rregret that ft is not in my power to report as favourably as Might have been hoped and expected from the conside. ration, that, of all his Majesty s West India Colonies, there is none in• which more opportunities are afforded for teligiotts improvement, to this and to every other class of persons, bond or free, than ate presented by the different ministers of religion in the island of Antigua. With a view to obtain as accurate information as was practicable upon this important and interesting branch of the inquiry, the rule I observed in examining the Africans under this head, was to put a few simple ques tions, which would elicit from the individuals what con ceptions they entertained as to the existence of a Goo, and a future state of rewards and punishments. A few appeared to me to have received sensible impressions as to these points; and of those the greater number were females. Some others there were who explained their perceptions of the difference between moral good and evil, and could state in a confused and general way the hopes and fears that should be felt as to the conse ' quences of a well or ill spent life. Of this class of re ligious proficients, there was a considerable number. But there were also a great many who did not appear to have received any religious instruction whatever; their minds seemed to be as dark and unenlightened (so far ' as religious knowledge was concerned) as if they bad been imported from Africa only the day before. And it is not undeserving remark, that the state of religious improvement among the Africans was found, in many instances, to be in the inverse ratio of the lengths of time that the individuals had resided in the colony; but was always, however, directly propor tional to the degrees of attention that had been paid to their instruction, and to the facilities afforded them fee attending divine service. Those who appeared most advanced in religious knowledge and civilisation I ob served to he the apprentices of liberal minded persi.ns of the middle class, whose circumstances were sufficiently affluent to enable them to maintain their servants and dependents comfortably, at the same time that their pursuits and station in life were not of such a descrip tion as would necessarily remove their working people from frequent intercourse with them in the way of their businesses. It is with such masters and mistresses that apprentices are most likely to have an opportunity'bf learning some handicraft trade, or of becoming expert in some department of industry, which would insure future employment and support ; and it is in such situ ations also that they are most likely to improve in moo- rals and in civilisations These advantages are not so certain when the Africans are apprenticed - to persons of the higher condition and greater affluence; for, though it the latter case little apprehension need be entertained for the physical comforts of the apprentices, yet it may reasonably be expected that their moral condition will not be equally attended to, as this must of necessity de pend upon the conduct exercised towards them by the a. herd man" or person under whose direction they are placed by the master, and upon the examples of their fellow servants or companions in labour. With respect to those ill fated apprentices who are assigned to the lowest class of White employers, hard indeed is their lot This is the true school of adversity for the captured negro. The needy master has received the apprentice only for the purpose of extracting from him the means of subsistence for himself ; and, con , formably to his views, he makes the most of the term of years, or interest, lie has obtained in the African, without much concern as to the latter's present comforts or future welfare. At the latter end of /84, there were but four in stances among the entire number of captured Negroes residing in Antigua, who had received certificates of their tree condition ; and these four, it appeared, con trited to support themselves without becoming burden some to the community ; although two of them (males) were but indifferent characters. There were several, however, who, although their period of service had not yet terminated, generally supported themselves by their own industrious exertions; and among these were fe males, who according to their own, and their master's statements, were able to earn sufficient subsistence for themselves and their children. Some male Africans had worked about as hired porters or drudges, and were able t• pay their masters from one toone-and-a-half dollar a week, out of their earnings. There were others, who when their masters had not employment for them, were allowed to seek their own subsistence, and have earned in such cases from one to one-and-a:half dollars per week for themselves. Others were permitted in ad dition to their weekly allowance, or in lieu thereof, to work for their own profit after four &clack in the after noon ; • and of this permission they sometimes availed themselves with advantage. With respect to the question of expense or danger resulting to the Colonial community from this class of persons, the apprehensions expressed upon this subject appear not to arise from any experience of the past, or rational anticipation of the future. Hitherto, instead of being any charge upon those colonies where they hive leen settled, the reverse has taken place. They 'lave been a source of no little profit to such Colonies; and much money front the Treesory of Great Britain has been circulated in the small communities of Antigua, Tortola, &c. which never would have found its way into these islands, had not the captured Africans heen settled among them.• In the next place, when it is considered that the Colonies have the security of ass Act o,f the Bri tisk Parliament, that the Africans are not to be made chargeable upon them hereafter (5 Gei,. IV. chap. 113. sect. 31). all fears upon that head, it may be presumed, can safely be dismissed. As to any danger that could arise to the community from thesee liberated Anicans, I cannot perceive that any serious apprehensions need be entertained upon the *object. At least so far as Antigua is concerned, when his class of per sons bear so small a proportion to th. ettare population ; and *bele the nusober of white in habitants, according to the census taken in 1821, monied to 1980, of whom 877 were males of such agel as rendered teem liable to serve in the militia; while' the number of flee coloured and black men liable to militia duty *as 881. As a matter of policy, perhaps,' it may appear to some COlonirs objectionable to increase this proportion of their he black inhabitants. But, in an island of sdch tettitorial extent as Antigua (with a blame populat;on of 31,064, according to the Triennial Regis try taken in 1821). an accession of 233 captured Afri cans, with their 87 children, ought not, even in that point of view, to excite much alarm."

She brings a Mail with Rio de Janeiro Papers to the 81st July ; great expectations were excited in the City on the arrival of the above vessel, supposing she had brought accounts relative to the peace with Buenos Ayres. These expectations ate, however, not realized, as the Rio Papers she brings, are entirely silent on the -subject; nor is the slightest mention made of the arrival of the Plenipotentiary from Buenos Ayres.

To the Conde de L•ges. Jut.r 12 —Two letters from M. Manoel Joaquin Pereira da Silva, Military Governor of the Villa da llha Grande, of the 25th and 26:h of June, to the Conde 'de Lige% giver some particulars of a privateer called the Pie.ident, commanded by Thomas Allen, with a crew of 80 men, all Americans except two Portuguese and tine Spaniard. This privateer was hoveting about the coast. In the night of the 22d of Jane some of the crew of this privateer lanelei in the district of Palmas, but were beaten off, with the loss of two killed and two wounded. The Master of the smack - liiperauca, which was captured by the privateer, who, with eight of the crew, has art ived at the Villa sla Ilha Grande. .ays, that when they left the Rio Grande do Sul, it was reported that Buenos Ayres was block aded by the people of the Pampas (Gentio Pampa) I and that, in consequence cf this, orders heel been given to recal the tioops that were in the Geld; and it wt also repoited that Genetal Larthega was dead. Jute 91.—A notice, from the office of the Minister of Marine, informs the merchants, that, on the 21 of August, two men.of.war would sail from Rio, and wuuld take under their convoy merchantmen bound for the ports of the South, as far as Monte Video. The Chamb-r of Deputies, in its siting of the Sd and 4th July, discussed the Report of the Committee on the Convention of Great Britain fur the Abolition of the Slave Trade. Several Members spoke at great length against it, declaring that the abolition of the slave trade would be the total ruin of Brazil ; that it had been con• eluded with pTecitSitation, and that in consequence of the indirect threats of Great Britain. The Archbishop of Bahia made a long speech in favour of it, and said that if the Treaty even stipulated the abolition of the , slave trade on the instant, he would subscribe to it, and approve this salutary measure with heartfelt satis faction and gratitude. Senor Calmon was perfectly satisfied with the treaty. With respect to what some members had said, doubting the philanthropy of England on the subject, observed, " I am not the advocate of England, nor does the Bri tish Government, now at the head of the civilization of the world, need my praises or my defence. Public acts of sincere philanthropy and love of liberty serve as unquestionable acts of the glory of England." At the conclusion of the debate, the President having put the question, the opinion of the Committee that the Minister should receive for answer that they bad re ceived the communication (pm a Camara fica ialeirada) wits rejected; and an amendment adopted to the effect that there should be no debate on the treaty, and that it should be reserved for a suitable time. The following is contained in a letter received in the City from Bic), by the Blanche: " The instructions of Dos Garcia were not to cede Monte Video to the Brazilians ; but if by negotiation he could net succeed in obtaining it for Buenos Apes, he was only to stipulate that it should be under an independent State. Don Garcia has been insulted by the populace of Buenos Apes, and the President Rivadavia has been obliged to resign, being succeeded by Lopez, in consequence of the failure of the negocia- Lion. The Exchange has fallen from 38 milreis to 33." Preach Papers to the 26th were received last night by Express.
