23 JUNE 1838, Page 2

Accounts have been received from the West Indies, confirming previous

statements of the determination of the Legislatures of Bar- badoes, St. Vincent, Montserrat, St. Lucia, Tortola, St. Kitt's, Nevis, and Dominica, to emancipate the whole Negro population entirely on the 1st of August next. Even in Jamaica it was deemed advisable to consider the subject; and Sir Ltorser. SMITH had summoned the Legislature of the island to meet for the purpose on the 5th of June. It is stated in a letter from a Jamaica planter, pub- lished in the Globe, that the slave-owners of that island were "disgusted and harassed by the constant agitation of the subject," and alarmed at the present state of the colony.
