Tho English consumer, it appears by a report made to the House of Commons, now pays 60 per cent, additional on sugar, and about SO per cent, additional on coffee, to se cure to their colonies, the monopoly -of the chief articles of their produce, and till proves unavailing. Tho abolition scheme entails unmitigated distress on those who put it iti execution, on those win were compelled to submit to it and even on the ncgioes, for whose particu lar benefit, it was first conceived. In Hayti, surely, emancipation lias bad full swing, and the capabilities of the black race to govern themselves been put to a fair test, yet here have they reduced die fairest isle of the Antilles to a mere wilderness and present a spectacle of human nature in its most debased state.
