DEMERARY, OcT. 17.

[EXTRACT ter A. LETTER.]
On alp 2411 i and 28th of August 1 wrote you.
By these eceninunications you would see the state of these fine
Colonies brought to the brink of ruin by the mad fanaticism of
the Mitt:denary SOcieties in England, interfering with materials
they did not nor cannot understand.
They have succeeded in unhinging the old feelings of affec-
tion and obedience between Master and Slave; both now look
upon each other as natural enemies, and we trust to the bayonet
only ter our rights, and in this awful state of things must re.
mum until the Mother Government do away with the delusion
that yet possesses the Negro mind.
Besides the discussions in Parliainent and at the African I nsti.
nation, they, in their zealous malevolence, have been for a long
time circulating pamphlets and caricatures among the Negroes
clandesinely,and preaching doctrines by theirMissionaries,total:
ly subversive of all government and resteeint. The Nth chapter of
.1 °shun was pointed out to them by one of these Missionaries (now
on his triel) as the order of attack on this town ; but by the hand
of l'ro valence this awful denunciation of God's wrath against the
city of Ar, was frustrated by the complete check given the re-
bels, within mileteof town. At oil periods, such conductcannot
he contemplated without horror and strong resentment, by
good men, even out of the reach of the probable evil judge
then of our feelings for the last two months, trusting only to
the arms in our hands and to Clod, for our honour, our pro:.
perty, and our lives. But what will posterity say when it
is clearly established, that this undue interference took place
at a period when the whole Indian proprietary have been ac-
tively employed In the improvement of the moral and reli.
gious condition of their Slaves—yet it is at such a petiod that
these visionaries have been tampering with the comfort and
happinese of 700,000 of the happiest peasantry in the world,
blaming the prospects of 100,000 loyal eubjects, and jeoparding
140 millions sterling of British capital.
These circumstances we foresaw as likely to follow the die.
eussions in Parliament, and at the African Institution—we
were not, however,.aware of the sinister means taken to hurry
it. We now feel all the horrors we anticipated, and but a little
time more and the whole resources of the British Empire
(mighty as it is) will not be able to prevent the dire calamity to
its extreme paint. The soil the Empire may recover, but the
lives (of bond and free) and the entire other property will erase
to 'extee; besides, the shock of such a calamity to the national
Wealth, must be fatal to the 'Government and td indivieuals
holding property.
We will antler first, but the vengeance of God must (Mr-
take the Government and people who dare, by falsehoods
and calumnies, assume to. 'themselves his Divine attributee,
in defiance to their own sacred engagements and guarantees
to these unhappy Colonies, to }tinted them since their first
establishment. Let the people in England weigh well the
stake they have at issue; the well Intentioned of them will
surely stop short and try to retrace their steps=-the daring and
wicked will only prepare themselves for the spoil of the ample.
field that must offer itself to their plunder.
It is to he hoped, however,. that moderate counsel will pre-
vail in his Majesty's Cabinet When the accounts get to Eng-
land, and that altered. and efficient measures will be taken to
meet the evil, before it is too late.—( Glasgow Courier, Dec. 4.)
