Manumission of Slaves.—The Society of Friends in North-Carolina, at their annual meeting in autumn last, formed an agreement to liberate and send out of the country all the slaves in their possession, who might wish to accept of freedom on condition of leaving the States. Since that time, the project has been pursued with such industry, that arrangements have already been made for the manumission and removal of about five hundred and forty persons. These will leave behind them, in the hands of the society, only a few individuals, whose feelings bind them to the country in which their husbands, wives or children are owned by masters, that no inducements they can offer will prevail upon them to sell.

One hundred and twenty are about to embark for Hayti in a vessel from Baltimore: three hundred and sixteen are going to the colony in Africa, and about one hundred in wagons to Ohio or Indiana, all at the expense of the society. Besides these, the society have already sent sixty-four coloured persons to Ohio, fifty-eight to Africa.
