ing and the total abandonment of your pro-
perties. could not be spontaneous work, it
could be only that of a panic terror either of
the Colombian or Spanish arms.
RoyatiSts You ought to rely on the regu-

present day, which starts from those times in
which the Genius of Crime had arrived at its
highest pitch in overwhelming the feelings of
the human heart-Royalists return to your
homes.
CaraqnenianS Your emigration is a ma
nifest offence to the Spanish government
which you think to hatter. Your fears with
respect to the arms of the king in its terrible
reaction, is nOtnow well founded, because the
Spanish chiefs are generals La Tore and Cor
rea, not Boves and Morales. Caraquenians !:

ABOLITION OF THE sEAVE TRADE.

Extracts from the Fiftetnh annual report Of
TIE Directors ctNe British african Institution.
MADE 26TH MARCH, 1921.
The Spanish slave trade having ceased
universally in May, 1920. and England pos
sessing by treaty the right ofseizing and con-
iiscating Spanish contrabandists. the flag of
Chat nation cannot now be safely employed by
slave ships. On this account the French flag
IS eagerly sought after, not only by Spaniards,
but by Americans and Portuguese, In order 20
protect their criminal traffic, it being the OPP
probriOus distinction of France, that her flag
alone can now he safely resortcd TO for the
protection of slave ships to the norlhward of
the equator"
The vast extent to which the slave trade
on the west coast of Africa continues to be
carried on, is further proved, by accounts re-
celyed from the river Benny, dated in July and
August, IN the last year from which it ap-
pears, that from March to July in that year,
1here had usually beer in the Benny from nine
to sixteen shaving vessels of ali descriptions at
the same time, each capable of carrying from
800 to 700 slaves; and that two ofthesevessels
whchwere therein March, and had then sailed
l to the West Indies, had returned in July, and
were engaged IN their second voyage During
! the above period of five or six months, 30 sail

had visited the river Bonny, for the purpose oil
! procuring slaves in consequence of which
the preparation Of palm oil is said TO have
been totally neglected by the natives.
!" An account received from a gentleman on
board the Cyane, an American sloop of wal
which was sent to cruize on the coast Of A fri
ca for the purpose Of supprcssing the Ameri.
can slave trade, dated in April last, states, that
since passing the river Sherbro, that vessel hat
detained ten slave ships, four of which wcr,
sent in for adjudication but the others, be-
ing well covered by fabricated papers, wcr,
given up. The number of vessels engaged IL
this inhuman traffic, the writer says, was in

Captain ard crew in the ships cabin, broke
open the matches and plundcred and destroy
ed about one bali the cargo, the most valuable
sgOods were removed on board the Pirate, the
Pbulky and less valuable part were thrown into

fuf the pirates to have sunk the ship and des-
! troyed the crew, but they were prevented by
the appearance ola large ship heating in sight :
upon which they released the Orleans and
went in pursuit oftbe ship.
This is most daring act and should, w
think, be directly communicated to the go

IL. short, sharp hill should always be cut
down and drawn away towards the foot in this
way each load Of earth is equal to two loads in
reducing the hill.
A road made in this way will cost more at
first: but will seldom need any repairs Of con-
sequence: 1t Is by far the cheapest in the end.
The reason why we have 50 many bad roads
is, that they are made too fiat and Oftener are
lower in the middle than at the sides. Hence
they remain wet and soft after rainy weather,
and are easily quilted and rutted.
lftowns would practice economy, they would
always direct their surveyors TO allow each
man who is employed in working out his taxes
on the highways, a certain sum for each hours
labour-and not each days labour. This single
article would save great waste of money which
is now paid to men and boys for doing little or
nothing TO the purpose. AN OBSERVER.
