From HaU'i.-AIr. Benjamin Lundy,
Editor of the Genius Of Universal Eman-
cipatou, and the Africans friend, has Just
arrived from his second visit TO Hayd,
having proceeded to that Island in part to
ascertain the condition Of the colourcd EN-.
igrants who were removed from the United
States three or four years since, at the ey-
pense Of the Haytjen government, and
partly to take cut II other emigrants who
had been liberated by Joseph Leonard
Smith, Esq. of Maryland. The whole
number removed at the expense Of the
Haytlen government, was about 6OOO.
.Of these, some have become disconnected
and returned; and some who remain are
dissatisfied with the system Of working on
shares, while others are doing remarkably
well, aud could not easily be persuaded to
exchange their condition for a residence
10 the United States. Mr., Lundy Informs
us that he procured such situations for the
new emigrants as were abundautly salts
factor, and that there is a prospect ofthe
adoption of plan IN regard to the rest,
which will remove every symptom Of dts
content. The whole number of coloured
persons now on the Island, who have en-
igrated from the United States within the
past s or 9 years, Mr. l.. estimates at
5000; some of whom arc among the most
influential and respectable inhabitants.

in a very short passage from Porto Cabel-

a proclamation was received from Bogota,
and read in the streets of Porto Cabello,
stating that war had been again declared by
