FOR THE SUN. EAST AND WEST INDIA SUGAR. [Continual flom oar Paper of Yesterday.] !laving raade these observations on what Mr. COBEZTT calls " the mere trafficking part of the "• Slit*Ct, " I now proceed . to Mr. CROPPER'S se cond proposition, " that the opening of the East " :India trade is the trial of a great experiment, " that of a free competition between the pro " duets of the East, by free men, and those of " the West by slaves." It has been stated in Parliament, " that although slavery does indeed " exist in -India, it is one thing in the West " iadies, but another thing in the East ; that in " the West Indies it was characterised by " cruelty and oppression, but that in the East it lost all its horrors, and was merely an,- exer cise of 'love and mercy ;, that in the West " Indies.slaves were compelled to toil at the will 44 of an inexorable task-master, but that in the " East no such system was known ; that slavery “•there was purely domestic, that their services " were so light, and 'their state so happy, that " they absnlutely appeared as members of the 44 family - in which they lived, not like slaves." So implicit has been the confidence placed in these represeatations, that a number of pious persons, 'With very tender consciences, actually use East India sugar only, in the conviction that it is not defiled by the hands of 'slaver like West 'lndia sugar, but made by the voluntary labour of freemen : and it is with some regret that I must disturb this pleasing delusion, by shewing, on the most unquestionable authority, that slaves are employed in making sugar in the East as well as in the West Indies. After the peace that followed the defeat and deaf% of TiPeoo SULTAVN, the Ma r rquis of WEL LEsL E-ty hen overnor-G eneral °find ia,employed Doctor BucnANAN to make a journey from Madras, through the Mysore, Canara, and Malabar, for the e-:press purpose of investigating the state of the British provinces in his route. He was selected for this undertaking as being peculiarly qualified for it by his various acquirements, and particu larly by his thorough knowledge of the language of the . natives ; and he was furnished by the Governcir General with letters to all the British Residents in the different, provinces ; directing them to give him every possible assistance and information. He acquitted himself of this task with so much ability, that a copy of his work was deposited in the library of the East India Company, and soon afterwards was published under the au thority and patronage of the Board of Directors, to whom it was dedicated with their permission. This publication,- which appeared in 1807, not only proves the existence of slavery, but that the greater part of the agricultural labour of the pro vinces through which he passed, and where sugar is an important article of cultivation, is perform ed by slaves. The Doctor details the particular mode of cultivating the cane in that part of the yip: Id ; states that rice and canes are grown al t-Irately, and usually two crops of rice for one of cane, to avoid exhausting the land. He gives drawings of their mills, and other utensils ; and describes the peculiar fineness of the clayed sugar manufactured by one individual, who is supposed to have been taught the process, which he keeps an entire secret,_by TipPOO SULTAUS himself. In Support of the assertions respecting slavery, I re fer your reade►s to the following quotations.— LOWER. CARNATIC. " Their farms they chiefly cultivate by slaves of the inferior " casts, called Sudra and Panchum Bundum."—(Vol 1, p. 19.) MALABAR. " From an enumeration of the inhabitants in one of the dis " tricts of Malabar, given by Mr. Baber, the number of persons " in each house is three 6755-10,000 parts. This would reduce " the number of free persons in Mr. Warden's circle to 73,925. " Add Slaves - - - • - - 16,574 " Total Inhabitants 95,499 (Vol. 2, p. 3.) " Py far the greater part of the labour in the field is perform "ed by Slaves, or ehurmar. These are the absolute property " cf their DevaruS, or Lords ; and may be employed in any " we7ll that their masters please. They are not - attached to the " soil, but transferrred in any manner that their masters think " fit ; only a husband and wife cannot be sold separately, but " children may be separated from their parkas, and brothers " from their sisters. These are their modes of transferring the " usufruct of slaves."' The Author then proceeds at consider abla length, and concludes thus—" These two tenures are ut " telly abominable, for.the persoia who. exacts • the labour and " furnishes the subsistence of the slaves, is directly interested " to increase the. former, and diminish the latter as much as " passible. Infect, the slaves are very severely treated, and " their diminutive :stature • and squalid appearance show evi " dandy- a want of adequate nourishment. • There-CLUJ be no " cm' arison between their condition and that of the slaves in " the 'West India Islandsa except that in Malabar there are a " sufficient aunibenoLlemales, who are allowed-to marry any.

A working slave gets daily three-tenths of a poray "of rough rice, or about 36 bushels a-year. He also gets " annually 1 fanam for oil ; and 1 h fanam for cloth, which is " just sufficient to wrap round his waist. If he be active, he " gets cloth worth two fanams ; and at harvest time, from 5 to " 6 porays of rough lice.

BIDDERIJ " There are very few hired servants, but a good, many slaves, " by whom.,on the farms of the Brahman's, all the ploughing " is perfarmed.” . --(Vol. 3. p. The contrast between slavery in the East and West Indies, as above described, is very strik ing, and calls for some observations.—ln the East, slaves are let out to task-masters, who feed andwork them in - consideration of an annual hire paid 'to their owners ; and therefore the persons who exact the labour, and furnish the subsist ence of the slaves, are directly interested to crease the former and diminish the latter as much as possible. Such a tenure, as Doctor BuCuaNaar justly and feelingly observes, is utterly abomi nable ; nor can it be wondered at that their di minutive stature and squalid appearance should, as he asserts, indicate severe treatment and want of adequate nourishment. There is indeed, as the Doctor exclaims, no comparison between their condition and that of the slaves in the West ; where their master is their employer, and interest as well as humanity prompts him to treat them well. In the West Indies, all the slaves, who are not employed in the house of their master as domestics,. have houses of their own, with gardens and every domestic comfort around them : but, in the East, they are obliged to herd with he cattle, these poor creatures being consi dered as too impure to be permitted to approach the house of their Lord ! How ill does this official account agree with the declaration, " that their " services are so light and their state so happy, " that they absolutely appear as members of the " family in which they live, not like slaves i"— The allowance of provisions given to slaves in the West Indies who'are past labour, is uniform ly the same as to those who are in the prime of life. This regulation is not only custom hut law; and would be enforced, if necessary, against the master ; but in the East Indies, Dr. BUCHANAN asserts, old people are reduced to half allowance. As in India, Dr. BUCHANAN tells us. they fre quently flog the freemen who are hired' labourers, it cannot reasonably - be expected that they should exercise greater forbearance towards slaves.— The condition of these freemen is truly pitiable; for they are described as working from morning till noon, when they are allowed an hour for breakfast; they then work, till evening, and then one would naturally suppose they were per mitted to retire to rest ; but not so, gentle rea der, " all night they watch the crop." So that their toil is unreriitted by night and by day, ex cepting the hour allowed for their meal, and the intervals employed in the necessary flagel lations to keep them up to this inexorable duty. The East Indians, must certainly,be acquitted of trading to the coast of Africa for slaves; for they have found out a much more easy and economical mode of supply, by. enslaving a whole nation without going from home, as in the instance of the Corar, who were once masters of Tu lava, but whom the Doctor found are now all slaves, and have lost every tradition of their for mer power. These quotations amply prove, that if moral considerations are , to be taken into the estimate, or to be set up as grounds for claim to public favour, the pretensions of the' East India planters stand no higher than those of the West, and they also serve to throw some light upon what Mr.Coaaalr promises in his next letter, to let the public see what pretty freemen the poor East Indians are. It now only remains to say a few words on Mr. CROPPER'S new and curious invention of putting an end to slavery in the West Indies by reducing the price of sugar.— " There is evidently (he says) a rate of prices " necessary to support slave cultivation, under " a treatment which prevents their increase, " and may require supply by fresh impor " tations. At a lower rate slave cultivation " may he continued, but not the importation of " slaves. There is, I believe, a point still ", lower, where every system of slavery must be ",given up ;" and this point he proposes to attain by (what he calls a faircompetition,) some reduction, if not an entire equality in the duty on East and West India sugar. Like sys tem-mongers in general, Mr. CROrPER, in his zeal to establish his darling hypothesis, overlooks some objections to it, that rather militate with those. principles of humanity and philanthropy, and that regard to the public good, by which he professes to be actuated. If he could reduce the price of sugar so low as to ruin the West India planters, he would not only abolish slavery, but destroy the slaves ; for if their masters were un able to maintain them, they must starve ; and this would not be altogether consistent with hu manity and philanthropy. Advances have been made onWest India security, by British capitalists, to the amount of 100 millions, ou the faith of the Parliamentary protection given to those colonies ; and this property would be involved in the ruin of the planters, and the destruction of their slaves. Great Britain would also lose those greht marts for her manufactures, and that vast source of na val power, which she derives from the mainte nance of her Colonial system ; considerations of somewhat more importance to the public welfare than the proposed reduction in the price of su gar. Such, however, are the results which Mr. CROPPER, who tells his readers that he is exten sively engaged in the East India trade, which 1w finds not to be profitable, but which would cer tainly become so by the destruction of his West India competitors ; labours to recommend ) and THE KING. Extract of a Later from the Agent to Lloyd's at Holyhead, dated August 12 1821. " At ten o'clock this morning, the wind be ing westerly and rather mOderate, the Light ning Steam-packet, Captain SKINNER, was order ed alongside the Royal George Yacht, and the KING and his Suite went on board of her, and proceeded to Dublin. The whole of the Squa : dross immediately followed, and it is probable that Ills MAJESTY will be over by 12 o'clock this afternoon." 4s THE QUEEN has closed her earthly career her character and conduct should now be assign ed to the page of impartial Ilistory, but no longer be a subject for contending Parties in the Public Journals. She made a will, and prescribed the disposal of her Remains, which Government, by command of his MAJESTY, were anxious to observe with the utmost precision. But those who express the warmest affection for her, and the deepest sorrow on her death, are doing all they can to violate her MAJESTY'S will, and to prevent a due respect to her Remains by, opposing the intention of a Guard of Honour on the melancholy cere mony of the funeral procession. And what is the plea of Lady Hoot), as the representative of her MAJESTY'S friends, for delaying that proces sion? Why, her Ladyship, Lady Axs IlAmturoN and Lord HOOD have not had time to " order their mourning." Can any thing be more ab surd, we might add, more indecent, than such a plea ? It appears then that Government is anxious to obey to the letter the Will of her late MAJESTY, and that her MAJESTY'S professed friends are equally anxious' to vtor.NTE THAT We received this morning the Paris Journals of Saturday, but they contain no decisive intelli gence respecting the. great question of peace or war between Russia and Turkey. By letters from Bucharest it appears that the Turks con tinue to exercise the greatest cruelties; and the inhuman conduct of the Seraskier of Braila, in salting casks of tongues, ears and noses, cut off from the unfortunate Walachians, to send as trophies to Constantinople, must excite feelings of indignation in every generous mind, and calls loudly for the interference of civilized Govern- . ments, to put an end to such barbarous'atroei ties.—The following are Extracts : " ST.

" The Ultimatum of the Emperor of Russia was sent from Odessa to Constantinople on the 7th of July. It is affirmed that this Monarch re nounces in the most formal manner all ideas of conquest, but insists on a rigid adherence to ex isting treaties, and on satisfaction being given for the insults offered to his Minister. " Of thirty-six Greek families who resided at Constantinople before the troubles, there remain s r.ow only one., that of Prince CaMalachi.— The majority have fled from that Capital, but several have been put to death. It is supposed that Prince Janko Callimachi will be elevated to the dignity of Hospodar of Moldavia. " 4 CRONSTADT, JULY 23.—We have received letters from Bucharest up to the 17th of July. The Turks continue to exercise the most atro cious cruelties. The Seraskier of Braila caused several casks of tongues, ears, and noses, cut off from the unfortunate Walachians, to be salted on the 16th of Jtiry (on accetint,of the heat), for the purpose of their tieing sent to - Constantinople as tro pities.

The article is not, how ever, very clear - , and there are evidently parts suppressed : it gives no intelligence concerning the fate of Baron de Strog - onoff. " The new flospodar of Walachia, Charles Calimachi, has been arrested, with his family, and was transported to holy, near Brussa, on the '2d of July.

" ODESSA, JULY 17.—Our commercial rela tions with Constantinople are now more secure, and the intelligence from that Capital, which comes down to the 12th instant, states that the Franks and their commerce are now there much more respected. " The Ottoman Government seems to return to more moderate measures, and shews greater deference in its communications with the Minis ters of the different Powers. The Russian Minister still waits for orders from his Govern ment; it is hoped they will he of such a nature as to enable him to resume his relations with the Porte, and the general opinion is that tranquillity and good harmony will be restored. " MADRID, JULY 30.--The King is to return to his capital the 3d of next month. All the national militia, as well as the garrison and Royal guard, are to be drawn out to receive his Majesty. The conduct of the Infants during the absence of the King has•been very praiseworthy, and whenever they have appeared in public they have always been loudly cheered. " The refusal of the Bulls for the Archbishop of Seville and Bishop of Carthagena is the sub ject of every conversation. The Nuncio of his Holiness waited on these Deputies with co pies of the speeches delivered by them in 1812 in the Cortes, and informed them that the Sove reign Pontiff could not approve the nomination of two persons who had professed doctrines, if not erroneous, at least equivocal. The Council of State, it is said, is preparing a measure, the object of which is to emancipate Spain altogether from the control of the Court of Rome, without however,' injuring the true discipline of the Church."
