We Lear a great deal said about slaves in England.
There are many hem who fiequently earn two dollars
4 day ; about au eighth part goes to their °wile's, and
they can live well for three reals a day—e ne and six-
peace. I think they are better off than many small
tradesmen in England, and far better off than the la-
bouring clasi in England.
The market here begins at five o'clock in the morn-
ing, which is now the time the sun rises. You may see
genteel families going at this hour in the morning to
market. It is customary to go to sleep in the middle
of the day, and some lock their shop doors. It is a
beautiful climate, a fine, rich, fiat country, free from
woods. In this par t, wood is now so scarce that it sells for-
'three halfpence and twopence per pound. At the house
. age are lodging at, it costs the landlord upwards of 20
dollars a week fur wood. People in this place pay bat
little attention to the Sabbath day, except as a day of
pleasure and amusement. They have b.ols, plays, bull
fights, ccck fighting, cards, biLiat ds, &c. hase
been with my daughters for a walk w see an assemblage
of slaves, who all meet every Sunday evening for th
purpose Of dancing; each tribe has its particular music.
There are six or seven tribes, aid eichstiibe appoints
their king and queen, to whom they pay ewers respect,
the same as their native tribes in Africa ; hirodieds of
them meet in the afternoon, and as soon as the sun sees
ti ey immediately disperse all in good humpur ; rend it
is the molt happy group I ever witnessed is any life. Ib. it
mode of dancing is the most -Ximple it is possiblt to
describe. I can get good Catalonia wine at 6.. pet'
dozen; porter it sold at 275. per d. The climate
is not unpleasantly hot..
