slave trade continued without check AT last in the
summer OF 1880, circumstances induced the Brazilian
government 10 set to work earnest 10 fulfil the treaty
engagements of the Brazilian crown, and enforce The
laws oil the Brazilian empire, and so soon as the will 10
do so existed the way to do so found, and in the
short space of few months results were, with the
greatest ease accomplished which for long course of
years had been represented as utterly impossible. e9
similar result would take place in Cuba and Porto

government and her Majesy's government cannot but
entertain hope that the cabinet of Madrid will at last
awaken 10 due sense of it's duties and obligations, and
will put an end 10 system of crime and piracy which

FoREIaN OFFICE. Oct. 20. 1861.
My LORD have received your lordship's despatch
OF the lst instant, transmitting copy OF note which
you had received from M de MiraAoTes in reply to your
note OF the Goth uimo, recommending. behalf Of her
Malesty's government, that the government of Spain
should follow the example set them by New Granada in
declaring the total abolition of slavery in that republic
With reference that passage il M Mrafioiess note
in which he states that the Spanish government cannot
understand how her Maes,ys government can seriously
to the natives OF Cuba, when they also recommend that
the Spanish government should conca,e the affection
OF those Cubans, have to instruct your lodship 10 Oh
serve to M de Miraores that the slaves OF Cuba form
| a large portion, and by unimportant one
of the population of Cuba and that any steps taken to
provide for their emancipation would therefore, far
the black population IS concerned, be quite in unison
with The Recommendation made by her Majestys gov
eramen that should be adopted for conlenting
the people of Cuba with view 10 the connection
between that island and the Spanish Crown and thrust
be evden. that the negro population OF Cuba were
rendered free, that fact would create most powerful
element oil resistance any scheme for annexing Cuba
| 10 the United States, where slavery still exists.
With regard TO the bearing which negro emancipation
would have the interests OF the white propelos il
may safely be affirmed that free labor costs less than
slave labor, and IS ndsputable that free and content
ed peasaniry safer neghbors for the wealthy classes
above them than l-teaed and Iesenul slaves; and
that slaves must, from the nature OF things, be more
less treated is truth which belongs TO the inherent
principles OF human nature, and quite inevitable
the resentment, however suppressed may be, which is
the consequence OF il,-treatment.
II does not seem, therefore, that the communications
which you were instructed TO make of the measure
which had been adopted by the government and parla

by her Majesy's government towards Spain with rela-
