Ike ISidre Trade. Sierra Leone Gazettes 10 the
Cd day oi April, have been receivedby the Editors OF
the Boston Patriot and by the following extracts
from them, it will be painful orr readers to per-
ceise that ci,zens Of the u. States charged with
participating in that inhuman, worse than brutal
traffic the African Slave Trade and that loo, not
witbstanding the penalty of death is incurred on
conviction. The heart sickens at the thought that
any oil our countrymen debased, so lost 20
common fellow feeling, SO regardless OF the laws
both OF God aud man, as to pursue this horrible tra
hc at the very risk Of their lives.


From the Sierra Leone Gazette, April Q, 1895.


{" We are credibly informed that three vessels un
der American colours are at this moment upon the
coast Tor Slaves, one OF them the Baltimore built
sci Gen Uinder, Hill master, last from St. Thomas,
carries | O guns and numer rous crew, all Of whom
with the master, are citizens of the u. States
This vessel and another have their cargoes on shore
at the Ganas and Cape Mount, the remaining one
at Sherbar.-Thus we these miscreants taking
the advantage oil the absence of American cruisers
to violate the laws OF their country Notwithstanding
the heavy punishment it sub bects them to. We have
here occasion TO regret the failure of The neg goation
tort mutual right OF Search which would most
probably IN this instance have enabled our cruzers
"no we're lately here, to have prevented these rob
oers from carrying the intended victims OF their
cupidity and avarlce from the coast


ne french cutter Lrs-D Deux SGurs, belonging
to Nlarlnico, has been condemned in the Vice Ad.
mlralty Court at Sierra Leone 1t appears that this
vessel was fitted out at Martinco, under the com
mand OF capt. Henri Norma with orders to proceed
TO the coast OF Africa, for cargo of $50 logs of
ebony wood and on arriving at Sherbar, the captain
exchanged his cargo for 1852 slaves, and left the
coast ior Nartinico,two days out, the slaves rose.
murdered all the crew excepting the captain and
two men, whom they spared on condition of working
The vessel to the nearest land. On making Factory
lsland ono OF the Isles de Loss, they entered the
harbor, and the Collector of Sierra Leone hearing
she was there, went aud seized her. The slaves,
1872 in number, have been landed and liberated at
Sierra Leone. In this small vessel measuring As
t-ei ~ length Is feet in width and 7 feet depth of
hold, we're slowed 1872 human victims! This is but
one among the numerous instances of the horrors
OF slavery, in crowdng such number of human
beings into the hold Of so small a vesse.''
