ST. LucIA:-It was in February last That
we published a letter from Capt. M'Lean, of
the brig Susan King, setting forth the grie-
vous hardship to which British vessels were
subjected on arriving at Wilmington, and the
other ports Of the slaveholding States Of A.
mericl in being obliged TO land and maintain
in prison all such Of their crews as happened
not TO be "white men,"
The atrocious conduct Of the authorities at
Wilmington, in regard to the crew Of the Su-
san King, as represented by Capt. M'Lean,
was ofs extraordinary a character, that some
Of our readers were inclined to view it as i'm
probable or exaggerated. Fortunately, how
ever, for the liberties of those British sub
jects that were in future to direct their enter
prise to the ports Of the United States, there
was one here in an influential position, with
whom that straightforward and manly nara
ton was not to be capriciously thrown aside,
uninquired into or UNDECIDED. No sooner
had the statement appeared in the Columns
Of the Palladium than Capt. M'Lean was
called upon by his EXcellency Col. Torrens,
and closely Intercepted upon the circum-
stances of the case. The matter was then
referred to the Home Government 5y his Tx
c~ellency and the result has been a despatch
from Lord Aberdeen, showing that the sub

ington has been instructed to see the oppres-
sive restrictions complained Of efIectually
abolished.
Since writing the above, we have been in
formed that the effect Of Lord Aberdeen's in
reference has been already practically shown
at Wilmington. The brigantine Erelina,
which arrived a few days back from that port,
has a portion of her crew black or colored
men while the vessel lay at Wilmington.

Though the colored seamen Of Massachu-
sctts are imprisoned in the Southern ports OF
this confederacy, and the Old Bay State

the shareholders thus to act, the colored sea-

sachusetls, she fears the power of the British
Lion. The assertion 81 am an american cil-
fscn," affords no protection 10 the coIored
man who visits a southern port, bat rather
ensures insult, chains, and imprisonment
but the declaration 81 am a British suJjecf,''
is a spell whose power is felt by the South
ern chivalry.
What gracious privileges Northerners are
receiving from this glorious Union!
