lam induced to write You, this morning. via
New.Orleans because ! believe this letter will
reach YOU al an earlier period, than were 10 de-
Law writing until the 9Th INST. when the Philade-
phia. slow ship, will leave for New-York direct
and when | shall have the pleasure Of again adj
dressing You.
The CAPTAIN. General completely puzzles me TO
comprehend biz vews, with respect 10 the slavery
question.
Or the 29th alt. decree appeared ia the Ga-
eta. of which translate that portion which ap-
p,ars to be objectionable. and which you will per-
ceiye will. if permitted, doom the apprenticed
Fmancipados TO a seryitudc OF five years, and the
other Emancipados for three years. The decree
says:
II. The consignment Of the spIreuticed Em4nc-
pados viii be made for five years, and Of the other
Emancipados for three year,.
49, In return for the labor Of tie first olss, taere
VIII he paid AZ tOllOws:
From TO l. year Of age g per month ir males
and IS for females.
For those above l. years Of sge, 81 per month
ior males, AID 81 for females.
"3. Tie EmancipadOs If the second class must be
pad 81 each. monthly. for males aud 81 for females

The other portions Of the decree slmpl eniorces
regulations which the masters are bound to obey,
and to which little ii any objection can be made.
As however, by the Decree issued in the last year
by the Marquis de Pezuela, the Emanclpados were
single year was not objected Ia, because II was
believed that such a measure was possibly rcgu-
site to enforce upon them the DYine hehest, that
"bv the sweat Of bis brow" man must earn his
daily bread. But now before that year is terni-
tod--before the contract for that period l.
completed 10 decree that ii shall he annnllcd and
a new one entered into for five years, is mon
strous not to remark upon the injustice of bind
ing the already apprenticed EmaL cipados for two
J. Xcarg LONGER than those not ALREADY apurpUflePf
J. and the paving thesc latter higher rate 0i wages
than the former No No General Concha. this
you nav RELY will not be- permitted. The apprcu-
ticed Emancpados will say, and with Justice
"Twelve months have not elapsed since you de-
" clarcd me free and low you talk Of booming
me 10 almost unro cOmponScd labor Tor FIVE
years" Neither viii England submit quietly to
this-she will insist upon the Decree of last year
being carried cut litcraliy-she vii say 10 Spain.
II lOu are not prepared 10 do tins. give vs. our
Emancpados, and we will send them to our own
Colonies where they viii be in reality iree.-tree
AZ the AIR they breathe Such, am conscious, Is
the view Of the matter takenby the British officials
in this Island, and representation To that effect
will speedily be made j., indeed il has not already
been done to the Captain General. This latter
gentleman would appear to have felt that some
thing in the shape Of an excuse or apology was
requisite for his previous conduct, for the 3lst
