away by an old women from a mess she was pre-
. paring, seized her throat, which he would not quit
till his head was severed from hii body by his mas-
ter, (a usual iecident it seems with these dogs),---
The wind-pipe of the woman being mucktorn, The
could not be saved. The war.was terminated ia
consequence of the tetTor excited by these auzilia
ries, and a treaty concluded, consisting of three
articles ; Ist, That they would on their knees beg
his. Majesty's pardon. 2i, Thin they would go to
the Old Town, Montego Bay, or any other place
that might be pointed out, and would settle on what.
ever lands the Governor, Ste. might think proper to •
allot. :id, That they wiruld give up all runaways;
to which was added a secretearticle upon oath, that
they should not bo.sent off the island. This article
was however not strictly kept. At least the protest
of the Maroons not coming in by the day fixed for
their surrender was seiiesie to banish some; and
others, being sett round to Nontego Bay. in vessels,
were only allowed to lend-with one of their wives,
to which they. preferred banistment ; a pie ere.ce
from which our author takes occasion to correct Mr.
Edwerds's •a;count of their ferocity, a;suring us,
tloit the war being now terminated, this delusion
nay sefely be dissipated{ that many of the horrors .
attribated•to' them are void orfoundation; and ige
particular that no woman in child-bed, no brain at
the breast was ever put to death by a Marinin ; no
slirleke heard at the posts of the Brirish.detach-•
meats:'
• In consequence of this .violation of an' art:',7el'e
sworn to ley General Walpole,the diSeussions i Oa.
tive to Willett'. employ Lerrer XIII. that egallant of-
fie.r resigned his command. • .
Letter XIV. contains an account of the trans,. .
portetien of the Trelawney Maroons to fialifex in
Nova7Scotiae of Prince Edward's visit to them on
hoerd,aef their settlement at Preston, five miles from
Halifax, and of some abortive attempts to convert
them to Christianity and limit them to one wife,
which caused a violent uproar among the women,
both married and single.
Letter XV. contains an account of the severity of
the ensuing winter in Nova Scotia, the discontent
of that country and of the Maroons, and the disputes .
between its Lieutenant-Governor, Sir John Went-
wonli, and the Government of Jamaica, relative to
the expences incurred on their account.
Letter XVI. contains a further account of the
progress of this dispute, together with sonic unex-
pec/ed charges preferred against the Commissary,
Col. Quarren, by the -Governor of Nova Scotia,
and which are given at length in the Appendix,
;icing direly coetradialed by the Governor's own
letter, approving the whole of his conduct ; of the
removal of the Maroons to Sierra Leone in Africa,
and of their settlement and importeece there.; cone
chiding with the following charader of the Mae
mons, given by the Governor of Nova Scotia:—'f I
have conversed," says he, is with the best informed
and most sensible amen them, and cannot discern
any malice or revenge in their sentiments; that they.
in fag regretted the war, and thought themselvece
pursuing seil-preservation only. In these caramu- •
dicetions they mention the Spanish dogs as ehjeas of
terror from the woe theme'
but representations of the,.
but that they had never suffered by or even seen.
them." A fuller description of these people is&
given from the Report of the Sierra Leone Constnit-4
tee of the House of Commons.
Thus concludes the history of the Nlaroon) Ind'
the remainder of the wortie:devoted to giving .a.
general account of Jamaica during • the las: tele
years, as mentioned in the title. Vesci, its.principal
features, the Maroon war hatieg been• already fafee
ficiently detailed. . •
Letter XVII. gives an account of the treat Ind
flux of foreigners, owing partly tq the state of • St.
Domingo. In 1795, no less than
,1199 French
persons, in consequence of a proclamation, natifiel
their residenCe in' Jamaica, and froM the dispeesiod
caused by the progress of the- revolution, fresh
numbers were constantly arriving iv the island. In
1797 a slight alarm was ceased by a fahrib'ated
letter pretending to he. written by. Sontlainare'arid•
dropped apparently in order to be picked up, dieeate
ening the colony with invasion and revolution. Iha
year lief) was pregnant with alarms of several
kinds, which were by no means groundless. In
February a banditti of runaway slaves, wh had
formed themselves into a body, under a negro named
Ceffee, in some of the Urelewney mountains, -came
Joan upon the neighbouring settlers, and com-
mitted depredations, They gradually increased in
confidence, and in numbers, and before the month
of June, had become so formidable as to excite the
greatest alarm in the part of the island they infested.
In October, however, tranquillity Wei restored. At
this very period St. Domingo was etacuated, our
troops embarked for Jamaica, and the island was
thrown into new alarm at the black troops being re-
ceived there in additionne afresh influx of fresh
'emigrants and the:, slaves. Meanwhile Toussaint
kept epee the trade with Jamaica, and by means of
Mr. Douglas, the commercial commistioruer CET?,
the plot fur invading and revoltitioeieing 'Jamaica
was discovered, which formed the bleja& 'of General
Roome's mission, and the legion diabolieue, earn, for
which purpose the. American ships *ere; toe be
seized ; a proje& of which the same geritlemrefirst
apprized the Americans, while he sent to Janctica
the minutest descriptions of the French spies, tar
vessel, then in the harbour, and even of the 'et
drawer, containing their projeas, plaits, MEL tact
paper's. • The remainder or. this letter regents son*
ecclesiastical chanties, the question of ltte ledges;
acrd the incorporation of Kingston,. concluding with
statistical tables reletiktei the island. •ea
