New York, September 10, 18.66. Immediately before &xe adJournment of Parlitt,. the Royal Commesion, which was appolated for that purpose, made a full report with reference to the late negro insurreetion in . .Tamaia. With reference to,the immediate causes of that insurrection, so. mujA has heretobre been said by this paper, thAt we need do little more than refer incidentally to the subject. To the people of the late slave States of. the Union the report of the Commlission is, in some respects, a production of the most profound interest. It proves most incon. testibly, that "whenever and wh'ertver -two populatiods of different Sloods are brought into close and enduring contact, after a .sudden and radical ohatige in the condition of the inferior race, and feeling of r,oq is, sure to IeeugandeN'd in eaoli, Jeslonsy, contempt, or resentmedtt or suspicion, in greater or less degrees, characteises their mutu' intercourse." This has always beei the case with rao-s of the. same color, and the prejudices of race in the case of the Austrians and the Venetians, the English and Irish, the Neapolitans and the Pict. nubese, and the Poles and the Russians, are a few -of- the many instances to which We nght refer But this instinctive antagon-C ism i greatly intensified and exaggerAted byedIl-e diqAimilarity of color, and still more by the adden change from slavett, to freedom. The insurreailon in Jamaica was dddbt. less brought about by the mixed race tdd a fe* designing Atid unprincipled whit4 ien. *orking upon the prejudices of the bl6ki. As preachers Aud as professed friends these men acquired a most pernieious lpfidetee over the Janitioa negroes.
