scene of desolation, that utterly beggars an
adequate description. Men, too, were aroused
from their postprand al siestss only to be met
with fallen and falling ruins, and to, in great
measure, lose their physical and mental manli
ness in the allprevailing sense of fear. People
rushed madly about, aggregated in small knots

persons all such material as would be likely, in
their estimation, to invite stroke of lightning,

with slaves belonging to the Cuban charterers
OF various American vessels, which had been

INSCRIPTIONS we're the French agents engaged
in this disgusting and cruel transaction. The
only thought or care they had was whether the
negroes they drove from the harracoons on
board the ship were in. physical plight to bear
voyage across the Atlantic. That ascertain

thrust, with the expedition that dsfes all Span

known from other sources that loo of the Afri.

1000 safely reached the French colonies On
their arrival, the contrac; or would, by the terms

every civilized country, and denounced as a

THE TRANSPORT OF AFRICANS TO THE
FRENCH WEST INDIES.
From the London News

The great irregularity Of the West African
mail steamers has of late interrupted the cur.
rent Of the history of the notorious Regis con-
tract for supplying the French West Indies with
purchased Africans. The last arrivals, how.
ever, put us in possession of some additional
facts quite conclusive as to the character of
this traffic. Subsequently to the news that the
Portuguese authorities had refused to allow the
French purchase of negroes within the limits of
the province of Angola, our readers may recol.
lect thst advices from the West Indies announ.
ced the arrival in the French Antilles of one of
M Regis's ships with cargo of 800 Africans,
100 of whom lost their lives in an attempt to
land them. Bot hitherto there has been moth
ing positively known as to where this unhappy
batch Of negroes was obtained. The African
