This New Slave Regulation...
- s -iL uruer in ;ouncui rcspecting the treattnent of slaves, which has given tise to so mtuch disd,tssion and remonstrance here, wais put in force yesterdayiifoq- the first time. 1 foresee infinite difi3. celtics ftnhe wayoiti cs)mplete etecution, and although thO ei; perlntent Isbut just beginaingo be tried, they .are already springing up on. att sides. The ambiguity of the order is such, and that even on very csaentialpoints, thatthe planters in general are at a losahew to act, and have memnorialized the Governor for information, which it will puzzle him to give. To oblige the female slaves to work,new devices and punishments are recommended, and sanctioned by a proclamation published to.day, and among whichl I observe soaitar3 conjnemnnt, P.fle.7tocks, hadcu#s, collar,, anid padllocks ; all punishments quite out of date, antl some of them never before heards of in this colony. Thleey will inevitably tend, in my opinion, to worry and disgust the negroes, as Well as the proprietors, and to produce the worst feeling between them. In fact, the consequences will be injurious to all, and benefidal to none. I have already received a sammons from the manager of one of my estates, to say that my presence is necessarv on ac- count of the insubordination of the gang, who have taken it into their heads that they are now working for the King. I shall set off .he day after eo.morromv in the stean.boat, with an order fror-, the Governor to have theshole affair investigated by the Commandant. On my return, 1 shall inform you of' the result of my expedition. E~ven i these matters are to proceed no further, nnd not to as5surc a more dan?gerous shap?e, where is compensation to be found tor such embarrassingvexat0fl5,5nd500h_continued loss oftime and labour?"
