(Extract.)

Governor Farquhar to Earl Bathurst.

Port Louis, Mauritius, 27th December, 1820. My former Despatches will have informed your Lordship of the progress I had then made, and of the steps I had then taken, in pursuance of your Lordship's Orders of the 30th October, 1819, to the Governor of this Island, to avail himself of any opportunity which might offer, of renewing a Negotiation with the leading Chiefs of Madagascar, on the principle of that formerly concluded with Radama in 1817, for the abolition of the Slave Trade; as such a Treaty, faithfully and ably executed by that Chieftain, affords the best security against any clandestine Trade of that nature with Mauritius; imposing, at the same, time, a check on that carried on with Settlements not under the control of Great Britain.

I have now the satisfaction of enclosing to your Lordship, the Copy of an original Treaty made in 1817, which has now again been accepted and ratified at Tamatave, the Capital of Madagascar, on the 11th of October, 1820.

This could not however be obtained, without the Additional Articles contained in the Document annexed, of the same date; these Articles I regard as very valuable guarantees for the security and good faith of Radama, for the performance of his engagements; as the persons whom he sends up for education to this Island and Great Britain, in virtue of these Articles, being of the best families of his Country, enable us to rely with confidence on the fulfilment of the Treaty thus confirmed.

I have the honour to subjoin a Copy of the Proclamation published by Radama, on the occasion, prohibiting the Traffic in Slaves, under the severest pains and penalties, upon the signature of this Treaty, throughout all his Dominions, and distributed in all the Ports of Madagascar.

I have the honour to transmit also, a Letter from Jean René, Chief of Tamatave, which was the great mart for the Slave Dealers on the Coast of Madagascar.

Your Lordship will observe, that this Chieftain now enters fully into our views; indeed he cannot safely do otherwise, being completely at the mercy of Radama.

Mr. Hastie, in returning from the Capital of Madagascar, fixed an Englishman, whom I had sent for the purpose, at a small Village called Manamborente, about 120 miles from the Sea-port of Tamatave, in order to observe and report upon the movements of the Slave Dealers. This Village may be considered, in some measure, as the key to the interior of Madagascar, or at least, as the defile through which all travellers must pass, who proceed thither for the purpose of Slave-dealing. The reports of this Person are highly satisfactory. I have the honour to transmit extracts from his Correspondence, which show not only that the Slave Dealers who have attempted to traffic since the Proclamation of Radama, have been totally unsuccessful in their

journies for this purpose, but that they have been obliged to return to the Coast, after a ruinous expense for the transport of the merchandize which they had taken to exchange for Slaves; and also, that whatever they disposed of was sold, contrary to their hopes and intentions, for money, and at a great loss.

I have the honour to add a Copy of a Letter from Mr. Jones, a Missionary, who brought Letters to this Government from your Lordship. He is a very pious and excellent man; and as he resides with Radama, with whom he appears in much favour, this is an additional ground of confidence in the good faith of that Chieftain.

Earl Bathurst.

(Inclosure 1.)-Treaty between Radama, King of Madagascar and Governor Farquhar, for the final abolition of the Slave Trade through the whole extent of Radama's Dominions.

Tamatave, 23d October, 1817. ROBERT Townsend Farquhar, Esquire, Governor and Commander in Chief, Captain General, Vice Admiral of the Island of Mauritius and its Dependencies;

By his Commissioners, Captain Stanfell, of the Royal Navy, commanding His Majesty's Ship Phaeton, and Thomas R. Pye, Esquire, Assistant Agent for his Excellency's Government at Madagascar, who are vested with Full Powers; and Radama, King of Madagascar and its Dependencies, by his Commissioners, Ratzalika, Rampoole, Ramanou, and Raciahato, representing the said Radama, and with Full Powers from His Majesty; have agreed upon the following Articles and conditions:

ART. I. It is agreed by the Parties to these Presents respectively, that the mutual confidence, friendship, and brotherhood, which are hereby acknowledged to subsist between the Contracting Parties, shall be maintained and perpetuated for ever.

II. It is agreed, and the 2 Contracting Parties hereby covenant and agree, that, from the date of this Treaty, there shall be an entire cessation and extinction through all the Dominions of King Radama, and wherever his influence can extend, of the sale or transfer of Slaves, or other Persous whatever, to be removed from off the soil of Madagascar, into any Country, Island, or Dominion of any other Prince, Potentate, or Power whatever; and that Radama, King of Madagascar, will make a Proclamation and a Law, prohibiting all his Subjects, or Persons depending on him or his Dominions, to sell any Slave, to be transported from Madagascar, or to aid or abet, or assist in any such sale, under penalty that any Person so offending shall be reduced to slavery himself.

III. And in consideration of this concession on the part of Radama, King of Madagascar, and his Nation, and in full satisfaction of the same, [1819-20.] 3 L

and for the loss of revenue thereby incurred by Radama, King of Madagascar, the Commissioners on the part of his Excellency the Governor of Mauritius, do engage to pay to Radama, yearly, the following articles; viz. 1,000 dollars in gold, 1,000 dollars in silver, 100 barrels of gunpowder (100lbs each.) 100 English muskets and accoutrements complete, 10,000 flints, 400 red jackets, 400 shirts, 400 pair trowsers, 400 pair shoes, 400 Soldiers' caps, 400 stocks, 12 Serjeants' regulation swords and belts, 400 pieces of white India cloth, 200 pieces of blue India cloth, 1 full dress cloth coat, with 2 epaulets, cocked hat, and dress boots for the King, and 2 horses; upon a Certificate being received, that the said Laws and Regulations and Proclamations have been enforced the preceding Quarter; which Certificate shall be signed by Radama, and countersigned by the Agent of his Excellency, Governor Farquhar, resident at the Court of Radama.

IV. And further, it is agreed by the Contracting Parties, mutually to protect the faithful friend and Ally of England, the King of Johanna, from the predatory attacks to which he has been for many years annually exposed, from some of the smaller States of the Sea Coast of Madagascar; and to use every means in their power, by their Subjects, Allies, and Dependants, to put a final end to this system of piracy; and for this purpose, Proclamations shall be made by Radama and the Governor of Mauritius, prohibiting all Persons whatever from engaging in this piracy; and these Proclamations shall be particularly distributed in the Ports and on the Sea Coast of Madagascar.

Additional Article.

The Contracting Parties agree in considering this Treaty as provisional, until ratified and confirmed by His Majesty's Ministers, on the part of the King of Great Britain; which Ratification will be forwarded, without loss of time, to the King of Madagascar (Radama), by his Ambassador to that Court. This formality, however, is not to prevent the stipulations of the Treaty from being carried into full and complete effect, from the date hereof.

Done at Tamatave, Island of Madagascar, the 23d October, 1817.
