arrived in New York, says that there has
been much excitement and distress in Libe-

worn by the natives. The slaves in the In

reported that there is great want ol employ
ment by the people OF Liberia. Many per-
sons are sent there, but no provision is made
to provide them with labor or capital with

public works, and no enterprises TO give
them employment The people are said to
