Speaking of Slaves.

| A.Buffalo paper, in speaking of staves, says they wete first introduce I in the West India Islands in 1508. This is an error of forty,two years. Slavics were sold in Cuba as early as 1521. At flint time the Spaniards were much less desirous than . the Portuguese of possessing slaves; for. in 1539, twelve thousand negroes warp sbU in tbe city of Lisbon. The trade in

slaves was not free in the sixteenth cen-i tury, fircm.es for it being granted by llio‘ Government; and, in’ 1580, Gasper Per- • alta purchased the monopoly' for the whole of Spanish America. In 1595, it was sold to Gomez Kayrial; aiid again, in*’ 1015, to Antonio Ilodiigucz de Eloas. i The , entire American. importation then ■ diil not exceed 3,500 yearly; and the peo- i pie of Cuba, occupied exclusively in rnis- j iiig cattle, received a very few. During j the, war of the succession, the French traders visited Havana, cxetmiiging slaves for tobacco. . The possession of tho lslnnd by the English stimulated somewhat the importation of negroes; yet in 1703, al- j though tic .capture of Havana and the j presence of for eigne rs err a toil new wants, | the number of Sian’s did not exceed twen- j ty-tive thousand in that district, 1 rind thir- 1 tv two thousand in the Whole island. ■
