WHERE is DIR. LIVINGSTONE?
Is He Alive and n Prisoner I'm Central
Africa?

Is He Alive and n Prisoner I'm Central
Africa?
Two years ago it was announced
that Livingstone, the celebrated
African explorer, had been MUIR
deIed by some of his men, native
Africans. This was afterwards de-
MED upon what seemed to be
authentic reports from the region
through which he had passed after
he was reported to have been muir
dured. But nothing direct from
the Doctor has yet been received.
Mrs. Burton, wife of the celebrated
African traveller, has written lets
ter suggesting the idea that DIR
Livingstone may probably be at
this moment prisoner in Central
Africa. The same suspicion app
pears to be entertained by eminent
geographers, and this fact gives to
the following letter peculiar intera
est:
Sir: Will you spare me a little
space in your columns to do a SER
vice to DR.. Livingstone, by calling
attention to Lucinda, or Lunda
City, the capital of the African
Chief known as the Muata (kinpl
Cszombe?
He is not the least important of
the eight negro monarchs, namely,
the Muatta va Moo, vulgarly Ma
tiamco, in the South; in the East
ern tropic, the despots of Karagwa,
of Uganda, and of Unyero; and, in
the Western regions, the sanguinary
tyrants Of Benin, Of Dahomey, and
of Asiante, or Ashantee. And the
name of this somewhat obscure
potentate has, during the last few
weeks, come prominently before the
Royal Geographical Society of
London. X x x X
The latest intelligence touching
DR.. Livingstone suggests the posi-
bility of his having been detained
in the capital of the Cazembe, and
at once explains the non-appearance
of the traveller, and the want of
communications, so heaTtrending
TO his host of friends. Why are
we whispering this to one another
as a secret? The report, if we beS
lieve in its truth, should be pub
lished throughout the length and |
breadth of England, whose great
heart will readily supply men and
means to rescue one of her favorite
sons from q precarious and per-
haps perilous position.
Unhappy for himself, DR.. Liv-
ingstone, unlike Capt. Burton, has
never made a friend Of the Moslem.
He has openly preferred to him the
untutored African-in other words,
the vile and murderous Fetisheer-
and his published opinions must be
known even at Zanzibar to the re-
ligion of the State. The Muscat
Arabs are, as my husband reported
long ago, allspowerful at the city of
Cazembe, and if DIR. Livingstone be
detained there, it is doubtless at
their instigation. 4
| should not have ventured to
trouble you with this letter, but
Captain Burton is en- route for Da~
mascus, and have written 10 him
to supply the public with a COM
plete account of the scene of DR..
Livingstone's supposed captivity,
which may tend to suggestive prop
or measures for securing the safety
Of q Christian hero who has offered
up the flower of his days to the
grand task of regenerat;ng the
dark continent. "
l have the honor to be, sir, yours
obediently, ISABEL BURTON.

THE QUESTION OF SLAVERY IN PORTO RICO.
MADRID, Monday, Nov. Is. 1869.
The proceedings in the Constituent COrtes on Sat
urday were interesting and important. One of the
Porto Rico deputies asked Senior Beccna, the Min
lister for the Colonies, what the of the Gov
eminent would be toward the island that was
peopled by 100000 faithful Spaniards The Minister
replied that the treatment of the colonies wOuld be
such that their people would be proud TO call them
selves Spaniards. The deputies suggested and adj
vised the abolition of Slavery in Porto Rco with IN
Identification to the owners Becerra replied that
that question would soon be solved, and III way to
cause the least injury. Subsequently the Minister
in reply to question of Senior Padial said the Gov
eminent proposed to treat Porto Rico not as colony
but as a Spanish province. He did not hesitate to
condemn the system of slavery in Porto Rico, and
agreed to its adjustment with Naturalization to
the owners for losses incurred.
