"el at the pertinacity, amounting to a species of
monomania in
.. a class or in the race, with
which certain ideas or conditions of the

inrnan Mind for ever recur. We hafe here
.riearlY all the doctrines of the slave-owners
substantially rePrOduced, though disguised
under different words. Manumission is substi-
tuted for the "kind treatment of Christians;"
contracts
are instead of whips; and the salutary
Yoke of civilization to be fixed by the Govern-

dent, is to take the place of the yoke of the in-
,- vidual planter. Those who believe, with BACON

,I,°as on the senses, will be apt to conclude, from
yT „t,flis recurrence of ideas, that there is something
air tropical climates, or in the state of society
lady existing there, which inevitably produces
a love of slavery, or a conviction that society
• rarino.t be maintained without some species of
()reed and unwilliEux labour. The irksomeness

of
toil 4 to a white man is probably the main
cause of this state of mind in tropical climates.

Planters, who desire to swamp the present race
of labourers in the colony by a new race, and so
l'e,dnce them to the

Madrid Papers have been received—of the 3d

nst. They are destitute of any news of interest.
Tile Correspondent of a Contemporary, writing
1:101n that capital on the 3d, says :
The news of the protest of the bills reCnifyini to-
. lioradon for the payment of the British Ledidn;zlCtinsed
171144 r a sensation on 'Change to day. I understand,lnW-
T'' tver, that the occurrence was accidental, and that the bills
question will be regularly paid. The Spanish Govern-
_ raent, were in no way to blame in the matter. What-
' ever promises Surray Hull has hitherto made he has in-
variably performed. The affair will be quickly righted.
The memorial preceding the estimates is ready, and will
,
read during the week, perhaps to-morrow, in the
vhataber.
