		["D.N. January 30, 1883"]. There seems to be little doubt that the activity of the French authorities on the East Coast of Africa at the present time is largely due to the determination of the planters of Reunion to obtain a supply of African labour, which would render them independent alike of the creoe [ie creole] population of that island and of coolie immigration from India ...
