His manners are free and unassuming, and his language in conversation fluent and well chosen.

He is intimately acquainted with English and French authors, and has studied thoroughly the history and character of the people with whom the tie of color has connected him.

He travelled two years in Hayti, and his letters, written in a flowing and luxuriant style, as a son of the tropics should write, giving an account of his observations and inquiries in that interesting island, were published extensively in England; and have been copied into the anti-slavery journals in this country.

His journal will be given to the public as soon as his official duties will permit him to prepare it.

He is at the head of the special magistrates, (of which there are sixty in the island,) and all the correspondence between them and the governor is carried on through him.
