with perseverance That she wished

in IA religious and philanlhropic spirit
If there still exists person simple
enough to believe it, will reveal to hiu
facts in relation to The Slaue trade Of
English India that will soon undeceiys
him.
The facts have drawn from oncia
documcnts published by order Of thu
House of Commons. 1t appears from
these documents that the trade which
England pursued for more than thirty
yeiss upon the western coast of Africa
asd America, for the suppression of
which she made the treaties Of 1891,
1888 and 1871. and wishes that Isance
and the United States would sacrifice
the liberty Of the seas that this trade
has been carried on peaceably and PROS
perousy by her subjects on the eastern
coast Of Africa, and in India where tho
demand for slaves was general, the laws
differently interpreted or negligenily
applied, and the indifference Of ihe aV.

I port of Captain Bucks, commanding tbs
| naval station at Smat, addressed in 1886
! to Sir ROBERT GRANT, Governor Of
! Bombay, shows that a considerable num-
ber of slaves are annually imported into
this part of India. That the Arabian
vessels depart every day with carGfcs
Of slaves, which are received upon tho
whole coast excepting that part of gov
crncd by Rama Porcbunder that six
briggs are continually occupied in trans
porting sioreS from Mozambique on the
coast Of Africa, to Din, Portpgpese
possession, to Surat and 10 Bombay 81
The demand for slaves is so great at
Bombay, that the Governor was COM
PEELED to send q guard with some slaves
who had been taken from II SLAYER, fear
ing that they might escape IN passing
through the city. "a
1t appears from report ofJune 1884,
from the first magistrate of Cdicmfo,
that the trade was continually carried
on by means Of n regular service of
vessels in the Gulf Of Persia (5.)
1t also appears from the official ro-
ports, that the trade was likewise car
ried on nj MADRAS i6.)
\ Sir Robert Grant, in a despatch Of tho
9th orJuly, 1886, said that he had looked
10 his own government TO prevent this,
aud the means employed for preventing
it being insufficient, he had applied to
the governor general.

general had furnished him with tho
means of which he was ia want.
