DE PRAD+ is too zealous a Writer on the popular side, not to be heard with attention when he admits the good.qualities of those to .whose in terests lie is in a great measure hostile. Holding the SLAVE TRADE in the utmost abhorrence, we never theless deem it but fair to insert the following nit. lure, drawn by that writer, of Slavery. as it at pre• sent exists lathe West I ndies. I t is extracted from the E►►glish translation of his work on the " Co lonies and the present lievolution of America," page 198 " The dill which we have imposed upon our selves of disguising no truth,'whether it is in oi•1' lavonr, or whether it is against as, (betimes to us the t , to reflections with which we shall terminate. this article. The first will be an act of homage to the Colonists, am ong . tvliom, before" the Re volUtion, slavery had at once lost its rigour and its indocility ; it had become at the same time more submissive, and softer : the master had nearly every where ceased to be a cruel tyrant ; and the:slave to be rebellious and threatening.-- In proportion as the chain became lighter, the slave found it so, carried it with greater ease, anti showed less desire to break it. The slave be came daily more of a domestic servant ; his hard ships disappeared amidst treattneht generally more humane ; and he occasioned less fear, in propor tion as he had less to tear himself. The proprie tors-were, for the most pent, aware how much their interest was connected with the good treat ment of their slaves ; some of them were fathers, as much as masters to their slaves, and the tic. groes most usually repaid then►, out of affe , :tion, witl► a just return of fidelity and love. There are a thousand examples of it, as honourable to the master Who could inspire these sentiments, as to the slave who felt them. Large estates, in no un common instances, presented a pictt,►re of an im mense family, where the white man tesembled patriarch, whose goodness he imitated ; aad the slaves, on their part, united around him, recdl ed to mind the first tribes in the golden age of so ciety. This picture was growing every day more common in the Colonics,so that the crimes of inis ters against their slaves, and those of slaves against their masters, were becoming very rare, and the prove; hisl expressions, as well as the exaggerated pictures of the condition of the negroes, were be come false, and were absolutely destitute of t h ; they belonged to other times, and did nor at all agree with the present. It cannot be doubted, that there are still hard masters, unmerciful go •ca moo hou in the zup-,:, tf,r and COM-. mantling class ; as well as that there are in the interior and obeviug, some who arc unsusceptible of the feelings of affection and attachment arising from good treatment : but the number of these was very much diminished, and, especially, %vas very smell ID Comparison With those who had adopted another conduct ; and it is of the latter only that the must, speak, since they make the ma jority, and neatly the whole. The positive state and gentral tendency of the coiidition of the ne glues Vra!; inclining towards a cOntinual but gra- dual amelioration ; and this system vras certainly, both for the Colonies and for the slaves them selves, the best adapttd to fulfil adequately their ex te wi iee ‘rishes ; for, being volont;Ary, and aris ing from manners, and not from laws, it had a tendency more natural and more gentle, though mote powerful and more extensive, than that which positive laws could produce ; because laws, to tlreir nature, are restrained and limited,- and their object is fixed and deter tninafe : while, on the other hand, manners embrace every thing, and apply to a multitude of details, which the law "A could never . perceive nor reach, and which are: either beyond it, or evade it. Slavery had a terif : dency to that roint, to which the most enlight ened reason would endeavour to bring it, in de fault of the power of abolishing it, I mean the common amelioration of the condition both of the master and of the slam The nmster was living without terror and with out reproach, the slave without fear and without danger; the one was accustomed to command with out harshness, the other to obey without regret ; and his condition, by being general, and customary, had lost, is the eyes even of the slave, a part of its horror : he bent himself more willingly to the yoke which was shared by so great a number of necks. The master, on his part, by being among thousands of other masters, 11. s the population wag always increasing in the Colonies, was losing those inflated idea:!; which the ancient masters, being more insulated, had contracted, while away from the observation of witnesses ; the gradual extension of the connexions with Europe, and the adoption of her manners, had introduced .!!'i strengthed among the Colonists all .con of their conduct towards their slaves. They , I•ere in the view ot too great a oninber of people t(> ‘vish to .appear iu an unfavourable light, or to wish to be exposed to the contempt and detesta tion which a cruel conduct, when contrary to the general custom, could not fail to inspire. We take pleasure in remarking this change, equally . to ihe praise of the Colonist, and of civilization, which is evidently the cause of this improvement in the cornii;ion ot the unhappy Africans." G. CARROLL, Co'utractor for the present Lot tery, has great plelsure in observing the general satisfaction afforded by the Scheme. He, there fore, most earnestly recommends an early appli cation at his Offices, 7, Cornhill, and 26 , street, to those who are desirous of oblaining particular Numbers, as there are only 2,900 in the ,whole Lottery, which contains Two Prizes of 20,0001., and will be all drawn in One Dal., 10th September.
