The amended plan of Ministers for the extinetiotNf Movie' Slavery,
was received in Jamaica on the 19th Julipind the in telligence gave general satisfaction. Even the Jamaica Courant, a journal which bitterly denounced the former plan, admits that there is a vast difference between lending the planters fifteen millions on interest, and making them an absolute grant of twenty millions. In Demerara, and some of the Leeward Islands, the same conciliatory spirit was displayed. The planters are not the most reasonable of men ; but the terms which they have wrung out of Ministers and the Parliament are too palpably ad- vantageous, not to give them unlooked-for satisfaction.
