TO THE VISCOUNT HOWICK.

My LORD.—Although your Lordship's letters to me of the
16th and 17th inst. assure me "'That you were sorry your state-
ment on Tuesday evening had given me pain,—that you had
not meant to attribute to me any improper motive in the trans-
fer of my attorney,—and that you intended to publish a correct
report of your speech, which you trusted would be unobjection-
able to me," yet, as my facts do not agree with your lordship's
statement, as reported in the papers, I it due to a most re-
spectable individual, my attorney in Demerara, to show to your
lordship and the public where we differ.
The Times newspaper, in reporting your lordship's speech,
says—" In the Anna Regina estate in Demerara, till the end
of 1831, the quantity of sugar raised was small and the number
of slaves increasing. In tine estate of Reedy Hook the attorney
was raising a large crop, for the advantage of the proprietor,
and to the distress of the slaves. At the end of 1831, Mr. Moss,
the proprietor, dismissed the attorney of the Anna Regina
estate, and substituted the manager of' Reedy Hook. The re-
sult supplied the comment—in six months trie negroes on the
estate had diminished from 805 to 800."

The facts are, my late attorney had been some time so ill
that 1 did not think he was fit to continue on Anna Regina.
My present attorney took charge of the property on the Ist of
July, 1831, when my late one went to America for his health;
both of them were recommended to me by the same gentleman.
So far from the negroes having diminished five in six months,
they increa,cd from the Ist of July, 1831, the day he took
