to carry any whip, cats or other instrument of
punishment, or mark of authority, or to scourge
or chastise any slave while superintending them
at their labours. No male slave to receive more
than 25 stripes in 24 hours, or for one offence,
and then in presence of a ilee witness, or of six
adult slaves.

These. Papers contain a very interesting ac-
count of Mr. HILLHOUSE'S expedition to the
mountains of the Massaroony. This is found
to be totally different in its course, from pre-
conceived ideas ; the Lake of Parma does
not exist, the placs assigned it by geogra-
phers being occupied by the most tremendous
mountains. The country, instead of being oc-
cupied by ferocious and warlike tribes, is in a
state of the most forlorn depopulation. Famine,
war, and pestilence could scarcely have reduced
the proportion of human life to so low an ebb.
In eight square degrees, or 28,800 square miles,
there are not more than 450 inhabitants,
being at the rate of one to every sixty.
four square miles. The mountains of Guiana,
which occupy the space between the Cayenne
and the Caroni, from which the latter river
takes its rise, are denominated Parcerna by
HumnoLDT and others, and this appellation
has been extended to all the mountains of the
interior. Mr. HILLHOUSE considers this in-
correct, and has denominated the grand chain
extending from the river Caroni to the Oyapok,
the Mountains of Guiana, the north-west side
Paruena, the north-east or central ridge the
Mountains of St. George, and the south-east
those of St. Louis.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T3Vii:L76` O'CLOCK.

Accounts from St. Bart's, via America, to the 28th of
May, state that the crops of sugar thraughout the island
are touch injured front the floods of fain experienced for
six weeks past. Letters from Trinidad say that one-half
is lost, and the remainder will be good for little. Advices
from Porto Rico, of the 18th of May, state that the in-
jury sustained by the rains is without example. We
learn from St. Kitt's and Antigua that they have also been
inundated, and the crops have suffered severely.
The accounts received yesterday with regard to Bolivar
having embarked for Santa Martha, are rather contratlic-
tory, as private letters have been received from Santa
Martha, of the 2td May, where it was said he had arrived
and embarked, which make no mention of that event, or of
hie arrival there; but the accounts from Maracaibo, of the
15th of May, say that, by an express received a few days
since, it appears that all Colombia is in favour of Pam,
and that Bolivar, with his suite, had left Bogota for Car-
thagena, there to embark for till! Colonies; if this be true,
business will again revive.
