In the Consistory, which is fixed for to-morrow, the Pope will confer the red hat on the Archbishops of Rheims and Seville. It is said that there will be another Consistory before Easter, and that two more Cardinals Mil be created. It is well known to be an established lenge, slat the Popes never confer more than two hats at one time, or else that they give away at once all the hats that are vacant. This usage is founded on the prin lcipte, that the Popes shall be prevented from increasing 1•too suddenly and rapidly the number of their creatures in she Cardinals' College (for so all Cardinals are called in reference to the Pope who has appointed them). Thu a Pope should complete at once the legal number of Cardinals is not to be expected: on the one head, the annual salary (called piatto), which is 4,000 'towns for every Cardinal who has no other civil or acclesiastical appointment, would be too great a charge. on the Papal treasury and, on the other hand, this Pope would deprive himself of the power of rewarding at any time the services rendered by a Prelate to him self and State; besides, such a proceeding would be ee the whole impolitic, because the prospect of the Cardinals is the strongest tie that binds the Roman as well as foreign prelates, and in a degree the sovereigns themselves of all the Catholic States, to the Holy See. Nay more, as the Pope; as we have said, must never appoint more than two Cardinals at once, it happens that they do not make use of their right when the num• her of the prelates on whom they would wish to confer the dignity is more than two, in which case they rather nominate no Cardinals than mortify any one by passing 'him over. As for Leo XII. it is said he intends, m order to lessen the expenses of the treasury, to confers the Cardinal's hat henceforward only on Archbishop: and Bishops, and so to spare their salary. It is also affirmed that to meet the great expenses wbich will be incorred by rebuilding the church of St. Paul, he has formed a plan, which, if it really exists, and is not a vain fancy of the public, will hardly fail in its object. I will mention it here without warranting its truth. It is to found an Order of the Sword of St. Paul Warding dello Spada di St. Paolo); on admission, each of the members, 100 in number, to pay 1000 scudi. It is also said the Pope will solemnly bind himself and his successors never to increase the number. This is the plan. But what makes the existence of it improbabli is, that such a l it:hoer way ~~..•4 101. E r•+4 ~...:e The arrival of the Brazilian ship Dan Pedro, at Rio Janeiro, from Ceara, at which place she took on board 769 passengers, who left on account of the famine, out of which 160 died oh the passage, and 200 were sick, brings to mind the circumstances under which those emigrants took passage. Previous to the sailing of Commodore Jewett, from Rio larre:ro, the President, of the province cf Ceara offered to the Emperor of Brazil 2,000 recruits for soldiers, if he would take them ' •from his province ; where this wept of rain for. three years has dried the rivers, and changed• the once 'wile soil into a sandy dew+ on which at present nothing can grow for the sustenance of . man or beast. 'Oa the receipt of this advice ak Rio, the GOternment ' chartered the 13rerrieu ship Graffinzehclorf;' and loaded her with farinha, which was sent as a present to the sol diers and starving inhabitants of Ceara. Tbis present was soon followed by the Don Pedro, whose arrival caused more alarm to the inhabitants than an Algerine corsair would to an unarmed merchantman. The' day after arrival, the soldiers of Ceara (native Brazilians, 200 in number) were divided into squads of six men, and sent in pursuit of recruits, with orders to catch and convey to prison every freeman able to bear arms, and boys over ten years of age. These ignorant, inhuman wretches, received their orders with pleasure, and promptly executed them—whilst some were patroling the streets, others were searching the houses of their neighbours, and dragging from home both father and son, disregarding all entreaties. Others went many miles from town, to overtake wealthy farmers, residents of the interior, who had been to market with hides, and were returning with the proceeds, and took them, sans ceremony, leaving their slaves to return to their fami. lies with the agreeable intelligence that their masters are themselves slaves. When any of them were asked why they suffered themselves to be kidnapped by their own countrymen without making any resistance, their only reply was—" If the Kiog wants men we must go, there is no remedy." When they had collected one thousand two hundred, and chartered two vessels, besides the Don Pedro, for their conveyance, they were escorted to the beach in divisions of 150. by the , sol diers, accompanied by as many disconsolate females, mourning the lass of their dearest friends, on whom their naistence depended. Many mothers followed their children from home t& thu jail and bench, soliciting, their release, but without effect; instead of any satis factory excuse they would receive a few blows on the bead, from the swords of those who were exulting in the misery they inflicted. • Thus these cowardly. hen ,hearted, soul-less idiots were drives from the place of their nativity, leaving. mothers and sisters, !wives and children, unprotected, to mourn their fate—then beg, starve, and die. A few weeks after these vessels sailed, the strip Carioco, Captain Pinto, arrived for the same purpose, and in six days succeeded its stealing 400 more, who took their farewell leave of home in the same Af rican style. This is a " plain unvarnished tale" of un controvertible facts,to which comparisons are impossible, exaggeration impracticable, and comment unnecessary. 7,11100 11,500 COLONIAL SLAVERY. The Papers, in explanation of the measures adopted by his Alljesty's Government, for the amelioration of the condition of the slave population, have been presented to Parliament,. and are now printed. They afford Most satisfactory proof of the zeal with which Ministers have applied themselves to carry into effect the decided wishes of Parliament and the nation ; but we regret to add that they, at the same time, chew a backwardness on the part of most of the coloniall authorities, to co-operate fairly in the great task pointed out to them by Govern ment and the Legislature. The present collection of Papers contains the cones, pondence with Jamaica, the Bahamas, Barbadoes, Do minica, Grenada, Antigua, St. Vincent, Tobago, Deme rara, and Berbice. Under the head of Jamaica, we God a letter, written in July last, by Earl Bathurst to the Duke of Man chester, regretting the delays of the Assembly to carry into effect the recommended by Government for ameliorating the condition of the slave population. To the Officer administering the Government of the Bahamas, Lord Bathurst writes in the same tone, ex pressing disappointment that the Assembly should have terminated without making any alteration in the Con solidated Slave Act. To the Officer administering the Government of Bar badoes, his Lordship expresses surprise and morti fication that nothing had been produced but the Act transmitted in Klub last. To Major-General Nicolay, at Dominica, the Noble Earl writes, expressing disap pointment at the repeated obstructions that have on curred to the completion of an Act for ameliorating the condition of the slaves. To the Offices administering the Government of Antigua, Lord Bathurst expresses his disappointment that the Committee appointed by the Legislature, to censides the measures suggested for ameliorating the condition of the Slaves, had proceeded soisliwly. 'To Governor Maxwell, at St. Christopher's, he writes, expressing his regret that, in consequence of the delays whjelta had occurred, he should have to in struct him again to bring , under the consideration of 'the Legislature the decessity of amending the' Slave I Law. To Sir C. Brisbane, at St. Vincent's, his Lord ship states his disappointment that another year should have passed Without any measures having been taken by the Legislature towards the revision of-the Slave Laws. And to the Governor of Tobago, he exptesses his sur prise, that the Legislature of that island had failed to realise the hope "entertained' lasryear, that measures would have been adopted to.amend and improve the Slave Laws. I . '‘• " •4 , Alai Igo • 3rlicit".44 ,tiyinr • I Stronger proof cannot b?. - afforded by any Govern ment, of its steady and persevering desire to improve the condition of die slaves. But it does not rest here. Earl B sthurst very strongly presses upon the Colonists the consideration that, in the Parliamentary Session of 1825, the interests of the West India Colonies were most liberally consulted ; their ports were opened to foreign ships, their trade was opened to foreign coun- _ tries, duties were lowered for the encouragement of some, and for the relief of others, articles of 'produce, besides those which are considered the staple produc tion of the Colonies. Large fees which - had formerly been levied in the Colonies were now either modifel, or altogether abolished—ind to some of the free ports the privilege was granted of having goods freely ware housed, from whence they may be re-exported. free of duty, direct to any country, and in the ships of any country; theteby establishing extensive marts, standing midway, as it were, between the two worlds, from *hence the wants of the new one may be supplied, and where their produce in ,return may be safely deposited. Government having thus shewn an anxious desire in promote the int-rest of the West India proprietors, is surely entitled, in return, to some support in its endea vours to benefit the other class of the Colonial popula tion. L% es hope that - ehe s the -present correspond. ence comes to be disitentinated anion the:Coionles, add to be dispassionzely read and 'meditated upon', it will lead te the cordial adoption of those theasures which his Majesty's Government have deliberately recommended. The Greek islittelerf Ittnylene has already been celh braced for the prolonged residence there of a noble wan derer, who loved its romantic scenery and pure climate. It is seldom now the abode of the traveller, for the un happy war has made its shores dangerous, and those of Samos, nearer to the mainland, and whose scenes are equally beautiful, have becOme the theatre of the most cruel atrocities. The latter isle, though less rich and resorted to than Mitylene, excels it in the beauty of the women, whose dress— for each isle has its peculiar die —sets them off to great advantage. Their nsanners are frank and agreeabte, and in the cottage of the Sintiotee a stranger always finds a t bospitable reception. Whe ther it is that their clear and luxnrious climate dispotes the fair Samiotes too much to tender impressions, or to preserve them from an ungaardeti indulgence oithem, a law exists that any stranger who becomes too intimate with an island girl is obliged to many her, or pay a handsome sum in compensation. A young Snsyrniote merchant, a Frenchman by birth, came to the island is supercargo of a vessel, for the purposes of 't cimaaleee. One day, while shouting at the hills, from the exces sively sultry weather and fatigue, he became so ex tremely ill as not to be able, without great difficulty, to arrive at the town, and seek refuge in the house of one Of the Greeks Of the place with whom he had transacted business, and had bees hospitably entertained. lie was received most kindly, and being confined by a. violent ver, was attended to as tenderly as if he has been one of the family. His nurse, hawevir, a careful and sympa thising attendant, was the only daughter, a fine and graceful Samiote, who watched by the bedside •of the invalid, gave him his medicines with her own hand, till the disease abated, and he began to recover.. He did not love his handsome nurse, but he felt excessively grateful for her seducing and assiduous attentions, and her engaging countenance. bent over his bed,. and fixed so aen and so earnestly on his own, would have waimed the most insensible heart and frame into feelings that were net always prudent or safe. —The family saw and winked at this growing inti• macy, for, Greeks to the v . ry soul, as they were, they thought it did not end in marriage, tit( re was money to be got out of it at any rate. Thus were the young merchant end the fair daughter often left in dangerous situations, and dile it dangerous hours, till the affair had the result that might have' been fores'en. The next day the whole family and relatives gathered round their guest, and strove to intimidate him Into marrying the girl, -with complaints of disgrace, and threats of vengeance. But he was firm, and absolutely refused the alternative. They then demanded a large sum of money, and tefhsed to allow hint to depart till it 4his paid. The vessel had been obliged, is eonseepte of his illness, to depart without him, and tt walla vain that he sought every opportunity to leave tlie island. In the walks which he took along the bold bills, chat were covered with wild flowers and a rude though rich vegetation, or along the romantic shores by the sea, his Grecian love was has guide and companion. Seated by his side, she would often sing to her guitar one of the sweet island airs, or, rapidly climbing some rugged ascent, let her rich and dark tresses flow loose and - di- Aevelled in the wind, that she mjght have she pleasure of .finding them again the better to show their beauty. But every wile and allurement was lost on the young mer • chant's soul and senses; the ransom or the bride were conditions that:scented to put love to flight, and while herdark and languishing eye was fixed on him, and the, light movethents of herslender and elegant figure would have forced a glance almost front the eye that death had closed, his looks wandered to every side, to bay and shore; to every yeatwl that 1 4 wept . by, in search of a pith to escape by. . . . Yet be was still treated by the Greek family with kindness and hospitality, but he saw that his mtv ments were . watched, and that they felt they had their prey secure. But the most vigilant are sometimes deceived, and even the cunning of a Ore: k may be over-reached.
