- The decline in 1843 was due partly to the withdrawal of several cruisers during the China War, partly to the heavy blow dealt to the slave trade in the Gallinas River by Commander Denman. (See my previous article.)

- 1845 . Wasp Yet several officers on the South American station soon report the efforts of Brazil to prevent any importation of slaves. A long despatch of May 1857 by the commander, Rear-Admiral W. Hope Johnstone, states that “the Government and the better classes of Brazilians generally are very averse to any resumption of the traffic in slaves”. His officers confirm this opinion. Thus Commander Stirling of H.M.S. reports that Brazilian cruisers actively put down the trade, which was legally abolished in. For a long time no slaves have been landed in the provinces of Bahia and Pernambuco. But these find it difficult to fill the gaps on the plantations lately caused by cholera. So it is difficult to stop all importations; and we should now “act more in co-operation with Brazil”. (F.O. 84, No. 1040.)
