Foreign Anti-slavery Intelligence: Holland

Mes&rs. G. W. Alexander and John Scoble have been performing an anti-slavery tonr in Hillnd. Tlièy visited Ams-erdam, Utrecht, Groningen, Rotterdüm, and the Ilnnrue. At Utrecht , they found some memhers of the leeiolative bodie?, end professors in the University, quite favorably disQpsed. An in!erview witli some Moravians disclosed the fart that in conseqnence nf the escape of elaves from Surnun to B.- ish G nann, the slaves in th- Dutcli province nre no iomn-pr nilowed to Feceive insiruction f rom iiie missionaries. Ai G:o;iin2en.the meetings were hijjhly encournging. IJis Excellcncy, Baron Renger?, presided at one meeting, and several Ustinguished judicial and legul cliaracters were present.- One of the gentlemen, wriling to Mr. Scoble, a few days ademante, Fays, "My son, who osíís ed at your meeting, told me yesterday eventng, that he intends to delend, ngainst other opponents, studentá in their literary circles, the principies you are idvoocating, which, ofcourse, I encounged him to do; and so, by different mean?, un-ier the blessing of the Almightv, every tbing will come to a good Usue, caval lupidem, nonvi, sed stepe cadendo.1' The drop hollows tho rock, notby ita force, but by ils constant droping. A got-d word for us all. At Rotterdam a Inre public meeting was held, and it is evident that sound principies are gaining ground, so that it may be hoped that the day of emancipation in the Dutch colonies is not distant. Tunis. The Committee of the British and Foreiirn Anli-SIavery Society have adopted nn address to the Bey of Tunis, expressive of their lii?h sense of the proceedings he has odopted for the snppression of the slave trade, ond of thoir ardent hope that he will extend bis views to the abolition of slavery itself. The adilross wns signed by Tilomas Chirkson, and forwnrded throngh Sir Thomas Reade, II. 15. M. Consul at Tunis. We venture to predict that his higlinei-s will not treat it and its authors as onr President Tyler, did the nddress brought tuit by Joseph Sturge. TheTunisians. you know, are Mnhommedan barbarians, and we are a nalion of refined Christians. All the difference in the world. Frange. The Frencli abolitionists hold on their way, notwitlistatding the tardiness nnd unfaithf'ulness of successive adminisirations of the government. They persevere in exposing the monstrous cruelties of the pystcm, ns it prevails in Guadaloupe, in Martinique, in Cnyenne. A single specimen wil] show that slavery is the same every wherc- a systcm of wrongthe pnrent of the most diabolical crueltjes- in Guadaluupe as in Alabarua. Fro.n La Revue des ColomVa. of Nov. 1641. A deed of great atrocity bas jnsl been perpetrated at the fabrique d?eu?rais of Morue a Savou. This establishmont, sitwatcd very nenr Point-a-Pitre, on the sirie of the road, belnngfi to M. Boisaubin, a relation of the too celfibrated Drouillard-Mnhnudiere. A monster known for his ferocity townrds tho slaves was overseer or the plantation. It was withjoythnt M. Boisaubin encountered snch a man as the miscreant LaiTfanqne to direct the labors of his slaves. Two runawoy negroes. Sixpouces and Jacob, having been seized, imngine tho refinement of bnrbarity, the frightful (umisliment which was infiicted on them. Tiiese two i-laves were tied together fuco to fase, body to body, in sucii a mannrr as to appear to be fitted o'ne to the olher. In tiiis poilion they weroflogged, whüst Laffrnnqne wascausing an iron h"be made red hot. The instrument of torture beinsr rendy, this monster thmst il into the bowcls of 'the. vppermost slave. The cxcruthtiiig pain 'of thi irterml burning cau.ed the victim to make such a movement as to place his wretched compamon nppermosf, who in his turn was subjected to the ordeal of the red hot iron. The barbnrity did not stop hert1. Having :nade the two slaves dre?s themeolves, Ijaffranque, by the aid of a tunnel, poured into their tnemths a mixture of Reces and urine.- He has been arrested. What did he sny to ju8tify himself: Tht ta b'jrning wa ]ninistered as an_ excellent curo for vermin.- The trial will reveal other crimes of Laffranque Brazil. A correspoudent of the Lnndon A. S. Reiorter says that the elave trade hoa preatly inreased under the auspices of the present Bralian mhistry, who favor nnd protect it.- iirly n November, fifteen hundred new nefroes from the coast of África were peen in one loase, ond five hundred were lodfred in ih mnehovse u-iththe chief qffirer uf polite nt 'onto de Coju, about quarter of amilefrom tho mperor's palace nt St. Chnstophers.

The Brczilian rovernment,hy tre 1327, stiptilatcrl "that it shnll not tliR snbjects ofthe emperorof Brazu iu oe concerned in carryioj; on the African elave tmde, under nny pretext or in nny manner whatsoever: and the carrying on such tradeby any subject of his imperial majestv, shall he deemed and trecttfd nsH icy." The law of 7th No - vember, 1831, tn j rffect to this treaty, bbcuied the cmangfij lion of all slaves jílichly incroduceil into Br.izil. Now, in deepité of the law of 1831, fonr hfl d thousand Africana, impnrted sincn tlir.t time into the empire, ure slave?: nnd tiiese inen, thus illegally deprived of their Jibrrty, cnnstitnte, from their age and their physical strenth, considerablv nbovft onu-third ofthe pruductive labor of Órozil.- The plave trade party are taking mensnres to nentralize the efficar.y of t lint law, bylepnhzingr the ulnvery of 11 Africans, however introdnced. Tlie British minister, in a remoustrance against tho propositinn, says: (lít is clearly impossiblf, in law or cquily whatever nwy utifortunntely be de ffjclo the praotice, deprive of iheir Tij;hts nnL nöcrty, punrantied by the most positivo laws nnd the Btipnlutions of treaty, a mnltilude of individuals 1 nnnccnspd of crime, nnd living unrier the pro tection of the laws and enjrnfrernents of the imperial govrrnment, for the sake of securing impnnity to thp'ir criminal opprrssor?. Such a violation of all moral and leal right, is not tobe exppcted in a civilized country." Lord Pnlmefston, in a letter of instrnctions to Mr. Onseley, decires hiin to state in writin to tliR Braziüan minister, thnt nogroes who have been illepilly importcc' into Brnzil, are e by tho treaty bgtween Great Brifnin nnd Brn7.il, " entitled 10 be considered free."
