ferenoo of 3,987,493 dare's aria Haiti. Him
does be suppose that this balance of trade cobld
be paid ? Does he believe that it is effected by
'hellion, or bills of exchange, in a country with a circu-
lating medium like that of Haiti, and without cam-
Taal credit?- However keen his wishes may be
on the side of abolition, in future he will feel the ne-
cessity of accuracy ; and, above all, I would counsel
him not to stake his Parliamentary reputation, for 1825,
upon the reasonings and the, nte of Aersiari-
Although this letter has been already extended to so
great a length, it is impossible to bring it to a ctmclu-
on without adverting to the following remarks, so
rve
deserving of especial notice. 44 The Reviewer, how-
es ever, strives hard," says A twat's, in his Foul th Letter,l
44 to prove the statement made by Mr. Whitmore, in
" the House of Commons, on the ISth of May, 1112$;1
N of the extent of the trade of Haiti, on the authority
44 of M. Inginac, the Secretary of the Haitian Govern-
" ment, is altogether fallaci-ms. It may be so; and iti
61 is fur M. Inginac to vindicate the traM of his IffiCial
44 rrpresetttations."
Now it is necessary to look back for one moment, to
know bow the case really stand:—an impression is to
be made in the House of Commons, against the West
Indians, and in favour of the Abolitionists, employing
these terms in their common and popular seine—Mr.
Whitmore receives statements from certain Aboli-
tionists ; he introduces them to the House of Com-
mons as having the authority of an official document;
he reasons upon them absolutely, without qualification ;
the document is sent by M. Inginac, of Haiti, to a
Gentleman residing in London, notoriously favourable
to the cause of abolition, in the extreme sense of the
term ; the writer of the article-in the Quarterly IICV:Cid
points out to the Public the fallacy of the reasoning of
Mr. Whitmore, without imputing any improper mo-
tives to that individual, but impeaching hi. arguments
on the ground of the inaccurate data on which he sup-
ported them : and the answer which A MAUS offers to
these statements is in substance—That although the
Reviewer may be in the right, it is for M. Inginac to,
vindicate the truth of his official representations.
It is well -known, that thousands and tens of thou-
-sands of British subjects, possessing West India pro-
ferty, in which millions of British capital have been
legally invested, must be deeply, nay, vitally, interested,
in the accuracy of statements concerning such affairs,
as were fomnally 'made in the House of Commons, by
*one of its moat respectable Members, and purporting
to be founded upon the irrefragable authority of official
documents. And whoever is acquainted with the Sub.;
ject, cannot but have observed the strong, and Immo.;
diate bearing, which the statements referred to ha
upon the most fundamental points of the West India
Controversy. If it could be shewn that slavery might
be put an end to, without an injury of the most serious
nature to the Proprietors of Slaves, no person withi4
the wallsof the House of Commons would dare to stand'
up in defence of the continuation of the system. The
Ultra Abolitionists contend, that there is no reason foo
delaying the desired change, in as much at the work i'se
cultivation can be successfully carried on by free la,
bout, and the leading argument, the principal evideniq
adduced in support and proof of this assertion, on which
the very fate of the question depends, is tht instance of
St. Domingo ;—its prosperous state of cultivation being
proved, as 'is affirmed, by cited official dricuments.
These documents, thus cited, are afterwatds cleaily
proved to be incorrect, and calculated to deceive.—
When these thfngs,are brought before- the Public, Alts
come disposer' Of- the whole subject, as.:to their ham.
rettness and fallacy, by the rematk : " It Maybe so ;
ai arid it is for M. Inginac" (over whom the- British
Public can have no contract) 64 to vindicate the truth
"of his official repinsentatiohsl"

A list, it is said, will be opened on the 7th of Novem- ,
ber, 1824, at -41 the Club-louses in London, fur completing a party '
of thirty Ladies and Gentlemen, to fit 'lst a yacht for visiting the
shores of the Mediterranean eqd Black Seas, Greek Islands, Asia
Minor, Syria, and Stmt. The vessel will be fitted up in a superb
wyle, with every comfort mid attendance j the dinners and wines
of the first quality. as may be ascertained (by theseof respectability
who wish to join it) by applying as above. The expense on board
for three years will be ally +4Oll. .
Yesterday evening, about haltpast seven o'clock, the
Grand Jury of the City of London came into Court at
the Old Bailey, and returned five .true bills against
Mr. 4Flnuttkroy, for forgery. Each indictment consisted
of a close roll of parchment, nearly as thick as a man's
arm, and was said to contain upwards of a hundred
counts, We believe it is now certain that the trial will
take place on Saturday morning. .
A fatal accident took place at Belper, on Wednesday
evening the 90th instant, at the gas-works belonging to
Messrs. Scutt. The cause of this unfortunate circuits.
stance appears to be as, follows :—The great gasometer
requiring tome adjustment, it was taken to pieces, and
during that afternoon the men had put it together
again; but whilst they were filling it with water, Sad
before the hole through which the shaft pastes had beets
sealed by the water, the gas was turned in. Of course
the gas formed an explosive mixture with the common
air that was in the meter, and this mixture arisen out,
beside the shaft, was fiord by a candle which one of the'
men held in Isis band. The. meter was consequently
blown up, and the shock was so violent, that Francis
Holliwell, a clock-maker, who was in the meter.
house, was so much injured that he died in' a
few minutes. Jobn Banks, the foreman of the works;
had his collar-bone brokeo, and received a severe eon -
tusion.on the shoulder, but great .hopes are entertained
of his recovery. A mail who bad just entered the build.
ing was slightly hurt; and one of the men on the out-
side had a piece of iron drivels into his.cheek. but he iv
doing well. Holliwell was an excellent workman, and
a most worthy man. He has left a widow and nine
children.—Derby Mercury.
