ABSTRACT
Conducia has, however, a very large slavemarket, and this extensive trade is carried on there, as at Mozambique, by the Portuguese.2
In the recent Report of the Select Committee, the following passage occurs :—" The slavetrade in negroes on the Bast Coast of Africa, is now almost entirely confined to the dominions of Zanzibar." And if there were any dependence to be placed on the fact that Portugal has nominally abolished slavery, the above might be true, but, unfortunately, we know that the trade is not only as extensive on this part of the coast as ever, but that it will be as difficult, if not more so, to stop it here, as in the Zanzibar territory.
