GENERAL LAFAYETTE.

A letter from an American gentleman in
France, has lately been published, in which,
after giving an account of the hospitable re-
reception he had met with at La Grange,
adds:-
general La Fayette is at the present
(Oct oth) in Paris, and receives. as usual,
with his we'll known kindness, the children
Of his adopted country.
Permit me to express to you my NOR
tihcation, when / was informed yesterday,
that no less than nine applications in few
General for pccuniary assistance, and he
gave them all they requested. God forbid
should attempt to close the hand of charity,
but every American feels an interest in
whatever relates to Lafayette, and l hope
some means may be devised, to ascertain
Who and what they are, who thus call forth
the ever ready benevolenCe of our Nations
Champion and Friend"
Remark. The etter-writer ough. to
have ascertained and published the names of
these Leeches, as mean to prevent the rep
etition of the plunder.-We can add, as a
fact, that previous to General La Fayette's
departure from the United States, he was
almost constantly assailed by mendicants.
who contrived to obtain private interviews
with him at Washington, and by the recitins
old revolutionary tales, interlarded with ac-
counts of perils encountered, and their
present distresses, many OF which were fc-
titious, would so work upon his compassion
ate heart, that he would instantly empty his
pockets of their contents, and bestow them
on the beggars without counting; and we
have the authority of gentleman then in
high Office, for saying, that these articles
were so frequently and successfully practis-
ed on the. old General, that fears were actu
ally entertained that he would return to
France, as moneyless as he came from it.
1t is time that stop should be put to such
nefarious practices on the benevolent heart

the life of Yves. Indian slave must be a
scene of drudgery, to which few parallels can
be found among the civilized nations of the
earth.
The masters authority is little less arbi-
trary, in relation to the degree and kind OF
punishment to which the slave shall be sub
jected, than to the labour exacted; and this
power of arbitrary punishment, is exercised
not only by the master himself. whose inter-
est, in the life and health of the slave. nigh!
assign some limits to the wantonness Of pow
er, but by numerous class of agents and
sub-agents, whose interests are more de.
pendent on the quantum OF labour obtained,
than Oh the preservation Of the slave.
In the laborious employment of cultivat-
ing the sugar-cane, the slaves usually work
in gangs, moving like a military csrps, in a
line, and followed by drivers armed with
whips, which are often applied with tremen-
dous effect, to those who. from sluggishness
or inability, fall behind the rest.
Ofall the shapes and hues which slavery has
ever assumed, the driving system of the Brit
ish sugar islands appears preeminently obi
GUS. The miserable victims are subject not
only tothe imperious authority Of their Eu-
ropean Lords. but to the capricious cruelty
OF drivers, selected from the most athletic of
the slaves, who are, in general little school,
