LONDON,
FRID/117; APRIL 2, 1824.

The }'aril Journals of Tuesday have•
received. None of them make any allusion t°
the :Mir which is reported to have occurred be-

fore Algiers : and with the exception of the IV'
lowing article in the Journal des Dl•bats on the
measures adopted by the British Government to-
wards the melioration of the condition of the
Negroes in the West Indies, they contain nothig

of public interest :
" PAnis, MAacu 29.—The measures whicu-
England is taking for the moral amelioration 01
the Negroes are of vital importance to the safety
of all the sugar and coffee Colonies which the
European Powers still possess in the West Indies,
Those establishments, which represent such great
capitals, and support such extensive commerce,
hare been placed in the midst of the most immi-
nent dangers, since the wholeisland of St.Donniag°
has been occupied by an agricultural and military
population of free A Means, and that Colombia has
not only admitted the Negroes born henceforward
1 to all political rights, but has even formed bodies
of troops composed of Negros and of Zambos,
children of Negroes and Indians, troops which
have played a grand part in the wars with Moral°
and Morales. Who can answer that Colombia
end St. Domingo will always observe a system of
sincere neutrality ? Who can make it certain
that ambitious chiefs, become masters of these
two countries, will not one day encourage insur,
rections which may break out amongst a Oa"
population so superior in number ? What Power
ought not to think with uneasiness on the aug-
mentation of military garrisons, at once so expel"
sive and so necessary to ensure the safety of

those Islands ?
" England has estimated the whole extent of
a danger which is common to her, with the other
Commercial and Colonial Powers : she WWI;
vonred to avert it by placing the negroes anti
their masters under the paternal protection °i
public authority. Such is the substance oh
spirit of the Royal Order in COuncil respect;"
the Island of Trinidad. It is in the Spanish /Os
and customs that the basis of the new instltutiono
has been sought. The Procurador-Syndic-of the
Island is nominated Guardian-Protector of the
Negroes ; lie is to uphold them when they whit
to marry, to acquire property, or purchase their J
freedom. It is upon certificates from Clergymen
that the Negroes can be admitted to depose NP°ll
oath. There is severity in the measures of Pre-
caution against the excessive punishment of
slaves, as well as in the penalties with which the
masters are threatened. The second condetnfir
Lion for cruelty towards a slave is visited by the
confiscation of slaves, and the legal incapacity t'

acquire others.
" Another Order is announced for the Island "f
Sainte Luck ; it will be 'founded on the t' re"
Colonial Laws, which already contain as inao.t
wise. and humane dispositions.
" The Orders relative to Demerara and 'l.°y
bale will be equally modified according to lo.gl
necessities, and adapted to existing laws. For
the eyes of English Statesmen, 'every innovati°
is an inconvenience ; and conformably with 'the
opinions of the author of L' .sprit des Louis, the
British Cabinet regard the uniformity of instittv
tions, that idol of some modern publicists, as the
very stamp of mediocrity and inexperience.
" 11 this system, after having borne fruit,
in the Colonies immediately under the R°'/1
authority, be adopted by the Colonies whichhol
Legislative Assemblies, principally by Jamaica l 4
Barbadoes, the English hope to escape the res'..,°'
lutionary flame which seemed already to Ir
smouldering in this part of the West Indies. j
" The masters of Havannah, Martinique, an
Curacao, 'cannot see with indifference this
