The British and the Slaae 1'rade:-An
article by Commander Foote, Of the Roy
al Navy, in a late number of Colbarn's
United Service Magazine, says:
II can neither be denied nor concealed
thai the African slave trade is carried on
by means Of English capital. In the fl
nanciaI year ending on the 3lst Decem-
ber, 1643, the value Of English goods ex-
ported from Brazil lin foreign boltoms)
10 the Portuguese settlements on the coast
of Africa amounted to five hundred thou
sand pounds, and it is well known that
there is no return trade whatever, except
in African slaves! The consequence is,
that our own merchants in the Brazils be-
come indirectly interested in the slave
trade. However much their own private
feelings may revolt from the horrors OF
this necarious traffic, yet the payment Of
their just debts frequently depends on the
success of a few slave vessels"
THE Colored people in the West Indies
Our late files iiom British Guyana,
Jamaica. &C., all complain Of demorali-
za:ion, Incidence and vice among the free
blacks. a ysgraat act is proposed in
Guiana, which shall authorize the govern
men, to seize every able bodied man!with-
out occupation aud compel him TO work
on public plantations to be established by
the Colony. The emiSrant Coolies and
African are compelled TO work by virtue
Of their indentures. but the free blacks
knows too much TO be caught by the
planters indenture scheme. They work
and play alternately as suits their fancy.
Very few work OF the plantations-Na-
ture furnishes an abundant supply ofyams
and vegetables TO support them without
any labor. Jumaica is in similar eondi-
tic But Cody emigration is supplying
the planter with excellent laborers, and

Aud we echo the inquiry. How shallthe
West India Islands get rid of the free

We beg them 10 remember Liberia, that

Of tho ST. MarlinsvilIe Creole has been

nfactured on The plantation of Valerian
Martin, Of the Parish of Lafayette. 1t is

introduced the culture of tobacco upon his
farm in this neighborhood. .-He has six
acres in cultivation; two Of which are

Busy BeeS.-In the island Of Cuoa hoes
