POSTSCRIPT.
SATURDAY.
By an arrival at Liverpool from the West Indies, papers and letters have been received to the 24th of August. The Negroes in Guiana were generally behaving well and working cheerfully. In Tobago, St. Vincent, Granada, St. Kitts, and especially Barbadoes. the state of affairs was very unsatisfactory. The Barbadian of the e1 of August
says-- 68 It is far from our wish to give a gloomy picture of discontent, but the re.
packable facts of unwillingness to labour, and of unjustifiable distrust of em. plovers from whom the Negroes have experienced the utmost liberality and kindness, must not be concealed from the public." A meeting of Magistrates bad been held in Tobago, and it was
feared that martial law must be proclaimed in some districts of that island. On one occasion the interference of the military was required in Barbadoes to protect some Planters against the Negroes.
