Slow from the vap ury mountains comes the breeze, 

And on it's dewy wings fits pale diſeaſe, 

Riſing from diſtant reefs and rocky ſhores,

Now up the flopes where ſpiry canes appear, 

A faint unvaried din aſſails the ear. 

The lurking reptiles now begin their wund. 

And fill the air with ſhrill diſcordant ſounds, 

And now with varied hum in ſearch of prey, 

Unnumber'd inſects wheel their airy way; 

There glowing fie © ſeems borne upon the wing, 

And here the keen Moſquito. darts his ſting.

28 have been known to exiſt a week. in this moſt dreadful ſituation, , (See

Würm this Hlahd of Famaica was eee the Eng lib, in A. D. 165 TM 
and he Spanie-ds' themſelves had retired to Cuba, "the "Spaniſh Naves were 


induced by magnificent promiſes, from their late maſters, of ſpeedy and effectual 


affiſtance, to retire to the ſtrong faſtneſſes of the mountains, and to bid defiance 
to the Engliſh power. By the wiſe, and vigorous meaſures of Colonel D'OvIEV, 


the firſt Govertion of Jamaica, (a cavalier, who Had greatly diſtinguiſhed him- 
Telf by his courage, and conduct, in the civil Wars) the power of theſe rebellious 
Negroes was ſoon' ſo broken; as to be thought by 'many ah object of ſmall, or 


no concern. D'OyLzy, indeed, proteſted A ine this concluſion, and urged 


the neceſſity of improving the paſt ſucceſſes of the Engliſb into a compleat, 


and diſciſive, ſubjugation of the revolters: but he was over- ruled. The 
conſequence of this improvident conduct was, that the ſmall remnant of theſe 


revolted flaves, being gradually joined by others from the plantations below, 


ſoon made the mountains again terrible to the planters; whom they harraſſed 
with continual, and frequently formidable, attacks for nearly a whole century. 
At length, in or about the year 1740, a peace was concluded with them by 


the Hon. Epwakp 'TrxELAWNEY, 'then « overnor / of the Iſland: by the terms 


of which they were declared free. They were allowed to have a chief to 
govern them; but he was to be reſtrained from taking any important meaſure, 
without the conſent of the governor of the Iſland.” Several white-men were 


admitted; by the” treaty, to live among the late revolters, to obſerve their 


actions. But the chief ſervice expected from them, was, and ſtill is,—to bring 


| back to the planters thoſe wretches, wkom hunger, or cruelty, forces to the 


moutitains for ſhelter. They are allowed a premium for every _— they 


| rellbre, and are 'remarkably vigilant in their employment.
