July 5lh:
The most extraordinary case Of a
free man returning TO slavery was wit.
messed here last week. Some months
pas., four American slaves made their
escape fiom the schooner Concord, then
lying at anchor al 81. Dominica, and
came to this island. Two of those peo.

were the property Of Captain Butler ar
rived here on Friday last, and was i'm
mediatiy waited on by the brothers, who
j: appears, were brought up by him
from childhood, and tenderly treated.
The result was, that Frank returned to
his duty on board the vessel, and John
no sooner saw the vessel under weigh,
than he got anxioDs TO 60 on board also,
but not succeeding, he became inconso.
liable, and will, we dare say, take the
first opportunity of returning to his
home.
