The famine had already, however, become
general in the Northern Islands. A, the re-
Ques, Of Commodore Crabbe, Lieut., Bartlett,
has communicated The following sts,emen,
Of the furnishing condition Of the people Of
the islands, and appeal for heir relief:
The crop Of 1855 (bo'h the green
and The reserve crop) is total failure.
2-The preceding crop was onlv half the
average, and there are now sc, 1000 people
on The Island OF San Antonio living on the
banana stock end the carcases OF animals
,hs. have died or are dying Of Starvation.
3-There is no, Of any kind provisions
for one-six,h the demand before the crop Of
1856 can be got and December 1856. is as
soon as tina. crop cen be available.
4-The people are 50 poor that they
they require, if i. were there for sale.
With This prospec. before them, Of less
,hsn one third The means for mex. year, the
people sre now dyi ing of starvation.
The Island Of ST.. Nicholas, from which
aid was expected, has no. produced one
third Of . crop and The people there will
be added to The femme, say more than co.,
600.
All the cattle have died on ST, Vincen,

themselves.
The fact il, aid, liberal aid, must be sen,
from the United States and England, for they
are utterly neglected by Portugal. No du-
ties will be enacted on articles sent for re-
relief. Corn and -four are the proper sr.I-
cles. Shall it no. be done!
Supplies should be sent 10 Porto Grsnde,
Isle ST.. Vincent. The American and Eng
lish Consuls, with The Governor, will &C, Is
