And were this means deemed useful not alone to relieve the Company henceforth from this disbursement and risk, but also to induce private individuals anew to hazard some more capital for the advancement of agriculture, and by the benefiting of one country through means of the other, furnisii the inhabitants and Traders with greater hope of profit; it is apparent that a greater number of slaves will be introduced by individual traders, who will spread themselves far and near, than has been as yet done by the Company, which has received only as many as the Blackamoors (Mouhierse) and the Portuguese brought them from Massangano, on which no certain calculation can be made ; consequently the duties and tolls for the support of the garrisons in Angola would produce more than the profit the Company could calculate on from so small a number of slaves as hath been traded for some time past. The slave trade to Brazil being opened with the approbation of the Chambers, it is to be further considered, as slaves during the revolt in Brazil cannot command any especial sale there, whether it would not be better to permit their exportation directly from Angola or at least from Brazil, to other places on double duty.But besides other difficulties which manifest themselves in this point, itmust be borne in mind, that in case a way be once opened for slaves, where greater profits would be realized than in Brazil, then private traders will mostly take that course, and Brazil thus remain deprived of a due supply of slave labor on the abundance of which, however, the cultivation and prosperity of our conquest must depend. Also, whenever private traders could raise the price of slaves elsewhere, the merchants in Angola would begin to compete among each other and run up the price, and thus ruin all at once the trade at Brazil.
