Vincent, St., one of the Windward Caribbee
Islands, in the W. Indies, 24 m. long and 18 broad
and about 70 m. W. of Barbadoes. It is extreme
ly fertile, and well adapted for the raising of sugai
and indigo; and here the bread-fruit trees brought
from thrive Otaheite remarkably well. The origi-
nal inhabitants were Caribs, a warlike race, man-
ifestly distinguished from the aborigines of the
larger islands. They are conjectured to have
heen originally a colony from N. America, their
fierce manners approaching nearer to those of the
original natives of that continent than they do to
that of S. America, and their language also having
some affinity to that spoken in Florida. In their
wars they preserved their ancient practice of de-
stroying all the males, and preserving the women
either for servitude or for breeding. .St. Vincent
was long a neutral island ; but, at the peace of
1763, the French agreed that the right to it should
be vested in the English. The latter, soon after,
engaged in a war against the Caribs, on the wind-
ward side of the island, who were obliged to con-
sent to a peace, by which they ceded a large tract
of land to the crown. The consequence of this
was, that, in 1779, they greatly contributed to the
reduction of this island by the French, who, how-
ever, restored it in 1783. In 1795 the French
landed some troops, and again instigated the
Caribs to an insurrection, which wt?inot subdued
for several months. It was almost desolated in
1812 by an eruption of the Soufirier mountain,
which had continued quiet far nearly a century
before. Kingston is the capital.
