A month later she received one hundred tons of coal at Barbadoes, in further violation of the instructions, which forbade a second supply within three months. The important part of the Florida's cruise began with her departure from Barbadoes. In the space of five months, fourteen prizes were taken and deBarbadoes. In the space of five months, fourteen prizes were taken and destroyed, in accordance with the orders of the Confederate Government. The cruise extended from the latitude of New York to the southward of Bahia. The neighborhood of the island of Fernando de Noronha was found to be a fruitful cruising-ground. One of the vessels captured here, the Lapwing, was laden with two hundred and sixty tons of coal, and Maffitt, by converting her into a tender, was enabled to supply the wants of his ship without going into port.

le to pay the fine, the General Court issued an order empowering the Treasurer of the County to sell the said persons to any of the English nation of Virginia or Barbadoes, to answer said fines. An attempt was made to carry this order into execution, but no shipmaster was found willing to convey them to the West Indies. To the G, nor gainful offering. Then to the stout sea-captains the sheriff, turning,said,— “Which of ye, worthy seamen, will take this Quaker maid?

tead of resting under the shadow of His own Infinite Power and exceeding love. I shall offer a few more facts and observations on this point. 1. A distinguished scientific gentleman, Mr. Coulomb, the superintendent of several military works in the French West Indies, gives it as his opinion, that the slaves do not perform more than one third of the labor which they would do, provided they were urged by their own interests and inclinations instead of brute force. 2. A plantation in Barbadoes in 1780 was cultivated by two hundred and eighty-eight slaves: ninety men, eighty-two women, fifty-six boys, and sixty girls. In three years and three months there were on this plantation fifty-seven deaths, and only fifteen births. A change was then made in the government of the slaves. The use of the whip was denied; all severe and arbitrary punishments were abolished; the laborers received wages, and their offences were all tried by a sort of negro court established among themselves

Now and then, he continues, two or three negroes are brought from Barbadoes and other of his Majesty's plantations and sold for twenty pounds apiece; so that there may be within the government about one hundred or one hundred and twenty,faith, while, so far as their slaves were concerned, denying the ethics of Christianity itself. Such was the state of things when, in 1671, George Fox visited Barbadoes. He was one of those men to whom it is given to discern through the mists of custom and prejudice something of the lineaments of absolute truth, and who, like te hath been and is; and that, after certain years of servitude, they should make them free. In 1675, the companion of George Fox, William Edmundson, revisited Barbadoes, and once more bore testimony against the unjust treatment of slaves. He was accused of endeavoring to excite an insurrection among the blacks, and was brought

Colony Laws, c. XII When George Fox visited Barbadoes in 1671, he 1671. enjoined it upon the planters, that they should deal mildly and gently with their negroes; and that, after certain years of servitude, they should make them free.
