Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 9th of August last, informing me that her Majesty's Government have, for some time past, been desirous of ascertaining authentically the nature and extent of the connexion subsisting between the American colony of Liberia, on the coast of Africa, and the Government of the United States ; and re- questing me to give you the desired information. The colony, or settlement, of Liberia was established by a voluntary as- sociation... of American citizens, under the title of the American Colonization Society. Its objects were, to introduce Christianity and promote civilization in Africa; to relieve the slave-holding States from the inconvenience of an increase of free blacks among them ; to improve the condition and elevate the character of those blacks themselves, and to present to the slave-holder an inducement to emancipate his slaves, by offering to them an asylum in the country of their ancestors, in which they would enjoy political and social equality.
