WEST INDIA 111s:s1
In every part of the Welt fudges, the c
the mission, so as to bring a still grestdr n
colourel population under instruction, hot
estates, is almost as favourable as could be
wanting but the means of sending nut mob
widely to scatter the aced of truth, order, at
the blessing of God. to mare a more ttectt.
reinilning Paganism and immorality of these
cies of the British empire.
For etc constant enlargement of so germ a work, a pledge 6
given, both in the increasing content for the riltgions welters ad
the negrocs by many West Indian proprietsrs themselves, end by
the growing interest which is felt at home fur a rat.: of &nen, to
whom, front its former neglect, the country IHH, so much. As to
the further, the Committee are happy to state, that not a cold per.
mission, as formerly, has of late been given by many proprietor*
to allow the missionaries to visit their estates, but the good Aloes cr
missionaries have been solicited ; and that not only on the ground
of the interest which every proprietor must have in the improved
moral condition of hit people, but, in some inst .nces, the Corn.
mittee are happy to add, front a conscientious regard to duty, and
a pious concern los their metal and eternal happilmss.
The following are a few extracts from letters receirea
front Missionaries by the London Committee. 11..ty are
inserted in the same Deport :-

so occasion of no small tercet. anti I believe Mir friends in gene-

with his usual condescension, did us the honour of attriali4 the
forenoon service. Ilis Lordship wag acconipanied by Ilia daughte:
Lady Schee 'listings, and several roesh respectable ladies and get.,
tlemen, amongst Whom were, the Chief Judge, the Doneurable A.
Gloster, and the Attorney-General, the Honourable W. 14ane:
The time was solemn as well as jifyfukpnd I trust will be re nee.:-
bared with good covet. In the group 74 wore sippers I could not
but observe the negrors, whose seine tonnt, bathed tith the tears
of gtatitude, formed • striking contras- to those c.inntenances whose
sparkling eyes expressed unfeigned delight. The collection amount.
ed to 60L currency, which niskes the contributions towards the char
pel in all nearly 1.0001. currency, about half of the whole cost of

The Hon. Thomas Hill, Chief Judge. &c. Ate. at w!lose houee
his Excellency Sir B. H'Utban resided when in the isla id, as I
noticed in my last letter, took the lead in this late rioveinent to.
wards the religious instruction of the slaves, and in a very hand-
some manner threw open to me at once six estates, and engaged to
give me every encouragement ; having. as he observed, :idly con-
sidered the subject, and satisfied hitt:self that it could not I u, proec
beneficial to the ignorant to be instructed in prinelples of Cnds-
tianity. Mr. H. was followed by Thomas S. Warner, Di. re-
cently from Antigua. who having witnessed the good effects of out
labours in that island, in a polite and ready manner, on my awl!.
cation to him, immediately gave me access to four estates under his
direction. Charles Vern' Esq. a for days agn, received from the
proprietor of the estate of which he is the attorney, who re-idcs
England, authority to employ the Wesleyan ruileionary for the in-
struction of hitt slaves. has accor.dinly given me every en-
coi..agetrient. You will, no doubt, recoUcct that, previous to these
favourable circumstances, I had access to the estates of the Hun.

In tl,e course of the year we made applieatich to the public for
the liquidation of the debt on this mission, and scarcely an
dual was waited on in ruin; ninny gave Id:et/illy. We gdad:y em-
brace the present opportunity of giving expression and publicity to
the grateful sense we have, of the generous and friendly manner in
which the respectable part of tl.e community contributed to oar
cause. We especially instance his Excellency Sir Charles Brie.
bane, the Governor ; the Hon. the 3lembers of Majesty's Conn.
eil, the Members of the Assembly, and his Honour Chief Justice
Wylley. A lilt of subscribers will he sett home when complete.
The amount of the subscription is fmSUL currency, of which SAL
have been already received. This 111$ ezceeded our most enkrged
expectations, and been highly encouraging to us in prosczut.on of
our humble efforts. The general liberality of the public we cannot
but consider as a most convincing proof, that whatever prejudice fa.

ST. DOMINGO.

Letters were received yesterday, from a rrscn high Itt
office in St. Domingo, dated the 9th of June. They state.
that the Government was in daily expectation of reeeivinx
from France an acknowledgment of the indepcnderce of
the Republic, and that a very large sum in specie had been
offered for this object. In the meantime, however, very
active preparations were going on, in case of an attack frost
Europe. If the statements in the following letter be cer-
met, we Gar that these is less ground for the expecta-
tion of a recognition than for a preparation to repel in-
vasion :

PARIS, JI'LY
The k atment of the Deputies from Ilsyti by the French lie-
retort:eta has excited much dissatisfaction to this capital, but not
surprise; for it seems that the Ministry are only a eking a pretext
to profit by their intrigues in St. Domingo, to keep up the militate
feeling, and employ the army in what is considered a s.-P. though
not a very popular enterprise. The Deputies who are here de.
dare that they have no authority to treat, except on the basis of a
recognition of independence, for which they are ready to pay a
large sum of money, to reduce the duties on French machaad
aidto indemnify the Colonists who were compelled INF the rerol,,_
tiOn to emigrate. The King of France. fully aware that th •P. -
ptgies have no dower to modify the principle neon which they LT.:
authorized to treat, offers cond.tions, which, shoit of this pl.,
are highly favourable. The following is a copy of thin, as handc.l
about in the Salons, and which are consi lered authentic. They
are very similar to those which were rtfused by Felicia in the
year 1416
