No. 131.-C. E. Lefroy, Esq. to the Earl of Dudley.-(Rec.Nov.18.) Captain Lloyd informed us, that he had been making a very careful inspection of the whole Coast of the Colony, standing in within 2 French leagues of the shore almost the whole way, although the Victor draws 15 feet water; and that he observed nothing that indicated the existence of any illicit Slave-trading, at present, on any part of the Coast. Captain Lloyd and myself suggested to General Van den Bosch, the possibility of the illegal introduction of Africans into this Colony, over land, through the French Colony of Cayenne; but His Excellency said, that from there being a Settlement of Noirs Maroons (Bush Negroes) on the River Marewana, which divides the 2 Colonies, who would probably intercept and seize them for themselves, as they knew their importation into this Colony to be illegal, he thought such an experiment would be too hazardous for any one to engage in it. I am happy to communicate to your Lordship the foregoing circumstance, as it tends to the confirmation of the hopes which I have before ventured to express, that at length the Slave-trade in this Colony, for the present, is overcome. The Right Hon. the Earl of Dudley. C. E. LEFROY. No. 132.-C. E. Lefroy, Esq. to the Earl of Aberdeen.-(Rec. Nov. 29.) (Extract.) Surinam, 23d September, 1828.
