The Bleaks In the West Indies.
In an article in the London Timet, we find the
following’ passage relating to the result of enum-
dpation in the English Went Indies. The pic-
tare drawn Is indeed h distressing one, hut its
correctness is confirmed by accounts from various
quartern:
“Our legislation lies been dictated by the pre
sumed necessities of the African slave. After
the emancipation act, a large charge was asne^a-
ed upon the colony in aid of civil and religious in
stitutions for the benefit of the enfranchised negro,
and it was hoped that tlicso colored *nbj«*r.is of
tho British Crown would soon he assimilated to
their fcllow-citizenri. From all information which
reaches us, no fa s than from the visible probabil
ities of the case, wo are constrained in bHiovo
that these hopes have been falsified. Tho negro
has not acquired with his freedom any (mbits of
industry or morality. His independence is little
better than that of an uncaptured brute. Having
accepted low of the restraints of citilieatfan, lie is
amenable* lo few of its necessities; and the wants
of his nature so easily satisfied, that, ut the cur
rent rate of wage*, he is called upon for nothing
but fitful and desultory exertion. Tho black-,
therefore, instead of becoming intelligent husband
men, have become vagrants end squatters; and it
is now apprehended that, with the failure of culti
vation in the island, will come the failure of its re
sources lor instruction or controlling its popula
tion. Bo imminent does this consummation ap
pear, that memorials havo been signed by classes
of colonial society, hitherto standing aloof from
poHtir.s and not only the bench and Uio bar, but
the bishop, clergy, and ministers of all denomina
tion** in the island without exception, have record
ed thetr conviction that, in absence of timely relief,
tho religious and education*! instuminns oi the
island must be abandoned, and the masses of the
population retrograde to barbarism.”

people of Mexico, divided and distracted u» they are hy
a hundred faction*, would finally recall Santo Anna
from his exile and place him at the head of public af
faire. This anticipation ho3 probably* by this time,
been realized. The brig Brownsville,[arrived in Now
Orleans cat the 20th alt, bringing intelligent from
Vera Cruz, that he had accepted the Presidency, and
would arrive at the city of Mexico lIjouI the first of
April.
In alluding to this subject, heretofore, we advanced
the opinion that the restoration of this ambition and
unprincipled Statesman might lead to difficulties I e-
tween his ill fated land and this country. In a con
versation with Dr. Escobar, who visited Carlhsgens
to urge his immediate return, 8anlu Anna exliibils
anew a large portion of that undying hatred ami
ferocious brstility towards the United States, which
has marked his whole heartless career of unmitigated
villainy. This feeling of intense and sleepless ani
mosity h8N smouldered in his heart ever sine* tho
Texas revolution, occasionally breaking out into an
open blaze of war and bloodshed. A sensible niau
would guppo>« that the eveu’.s of the Mexican war
would have toughl him a Imou by which he might
profit. But not so. He feels still that he is the Na
poleon of the continent and tliut he rnuet efface, by
britlia'A deed* in future, the dis race which past
defeats has heaped Dpon his name.
The morning after the arrival of Ii-cobar at tho
residence ut Haute Anna, the conversation rook place
which we have alluded. The papers n ut by the
au'horili -a cl Vera l ruz had been delivered and
rl joined to liie pressing invitation which that
city had formally sent, soliciting lus return, the messen
ger had iJ'-ed his personal influence uud eloquence to
necuro his compliance. Santa Anna seemed reluc
tant toqui* his quiet exile and assu'me again the reins
of power over a people, so worthies*, end fickle. He
felt, it would appear, all the responsibility of the po
sition which he was culled on to assume, with hut
lu'fa reliance on his countrymen to sus!uin .nd bear
him through the perils that would inevitably environ
him. Ilshatred, however, towardathepoverumo.it
and people of iho I'uiled Htates, who ha meanly

induced him to consider the proposition, and fad dnubt-
