At Nevis the act has passed.

At St.Christopher's the council are in favor of its passing, and with Nevis emancipated in its vicinity, there is little doubt but the Act must pass.

At Montserrat also it has passed.

At Antigua, which I visited last year, I found that every thing was proceeding quietly and regularly.

I found too, the planters in high spirits, and some estates, which had been given up, restored; and the small patches and tenements of the free people, commencing last year, now in a very satisfactory state of cultivation.
