Although we are yet without any official intelligence from Cape Coa.,t, yet tl:e circumstantial manner in which the disastrous affair is narrated, almost precludes all hope that it is :sct to a considerable extent at least ; indeed, our sette:oent is on so small a scale, and the European force so slender, that with a warlike and ferocious people, such as the Ashantees, an event of this sort was always to be feat-c.d. Our principal force as in the l'antees, a neighboui ing tribe we took under our in otcnion when their ann:hilation seemed threatetlcd by the A-di:traces. It appears from the Barbadoes Paper, that the Ashantees hal made several incursions lately on our Settlement for the sake of plunder,:at on one of these occasions a British Serjeant was seizel and mur dered. It was to .punish this aggression that Sir CilmiLEs M'CARTIIY is stated to hare prepared an expedition, which lie formed in three divisions, one of which he. commanded, and was intercepted before he could join the other two divisions. There seems some improbability in this; for Sir CIL.% RLES could not but be aware of the great numbers of the Ashantees, and was not, we trust, very likely to be taken by surprise in a manner so fatal and disalvamageons. A private letter, said to have been written by an Of ficer on board the OXEN GLEND'4WER, confirms the intelligence as to the defeat of the Governor, and states, that all the white men of the party, about seven or eight, and more than two thirds of his furce,were killed. Accounts arc said to have been received from Sierra Leone, of the 10th of March, which are entirely silent on the subject of the affair of the Ashantees at Accra. We confess, however, we have still little hopes that it is not true in its most material features. Ilambnrgh, Dutch, and Brussels Papers to a late date reached us this forenoon, from which we make the fullowini! extracts : PETPRSBURGII, APRIL 13. On the 241 (14) of Fehruat y his Majesty addressed the follnwing Ukase to the Senate: " By our Ukase addressed to the Senate on the 17th (29th) December, we gave orders for the distribution of 3,500 receipt, on payment of 2000 runes for each, to such persons as should wish to have them, which will be accepted instead of recruits in future levies, when such shall l required to complete the army.

' It is thought that the Provisionial Diet of the March will not be convoked till the autumn, in order that the Deputies from the country may not be hindered in their • agricultural put suits. It is conjectured that the King sill appoint, as Marshal of the Diet, Count Alvensle ben, ssho, in the capacity of Minister of State, so ably directed the Government of Brunswick during the mi• nority of the reigning Duke. The preparations fur the Pomeranian Diet are so fat advanced, that there is lit tle doubt of its being called together in nty. M. Von &rgstedo is appointed Marshal. Dispatches of a late date were this morning received from Jamaica, which left the Island perfectly tranquil. Dispatches from the lonian Islands, with letters from Ancona, were received this forenoon, but they contain no political intelligence of importance. We learn from good authority that the negotiations between Russia and Tut key are proceeding amicably. We hare received the French Papers of Friday, and a private letter from Paris dated Saturday, announcing that the financial measure of M..VILLELE, for the re duction of the 'tellies had passed the Chamber of De puties that day. Several amendments had been pro posed and rejected ; one modification of the Ministerial project, which, however, does not at all affect the prin ciple of the measure, was adopted. It consists in ena bling the Government to allow the fundholder to 'con vert his Five per Cent. Stock into a new Four per Cent. Stock at par, with a security against repayment for six years,nr till January, 1830. This amendment was pro posed by M. LEROY. As adopted and modified by M. de VILLELE, it does not necessarily alter his original project, as its effect will merely be to give another option to the fundholder in addition to the alternative of accepting a Three per Cent. Stock at 75, or the reim burscment of his capital. We consider the success of this financial operation on the part of M. VILLELE, as important, not only so far as regards France, but as an earnest of the pacific disposition of the Court of France, and a fresh guarantee that the peace of Europe will not be disturbed. Private letters from Lisbon, of a recent date, state that great preparations are making for sending out an expediton of 7,000 troops to Brazil. NEW ENGLAND COFFEE-TIOUSE. We have received a St. Vincent's Gazette of the 20th March, which contains the following intelligence " BA EBADOES, MARCH 18.—The brig Mai y Ellen arrived here on Monday, in eleven days from Para, with the British Vice-Consul, a number of British.Mer chanti, and several Portuguese Gentlemen holding civil appointments in that country, in all fifty-two, being compelled to leave in consequence of the dreadful anarchy and confusion which prevailed there, occa sioned, it is said, by the tyrannizing conduct of the Captain of a Brazilian brig of war, acting under orders of the Emperor, in levying contributions upon the inhabitants, and plundering the shipping in the harbour. A representation of the above circum stances has been made to his Excellency the Governor and Commanding Officer of the Naval squadron here. The sloops of war EDEN and SCOUT were dispatched last evening for Para, with the Consul and several of the merchants on board, with the view of demanding the British property remaining in that place, and to ascertain what farther steps it may be necessary to take for the security of the British trade." ENGLISH ARTISTS IN FRANCE. We have before alluded to an affray which took place between some English iron-founders who left this country some time since, and the natives of Charenton, in which one or two of the townspeople were said to have been killed, and several desperately wounded. The following more particular and authen tic account of the affair reached us on Saturday too late to appear in the whole of our impression : The late affair at Charenton was commenced by the charboniers and boatmen, who, it appears, have an inveterate hatred to the Englishmen at the factory, not only as Englishmen, but from the immense wages they eat n, which enables them to detach their wives and women from them.giving rise to everlastingdicputes and quarrels. For months past noEnglishman has been safe alone, opportunities be ing looked for to attack him en masse; and it was upon one of these occasions, that a general attack was made by about forty men from the manufactory, who cleared the streets of between two and three hundred men, most of whom were driven into the river. The gendarmerie took the part of the French, and lodged three of the Englishmen in prison, upon which the whole of the manufactory struck, and declared to the proprietors no more work should be done until the Englishmen were released. Mr. WiLsoar, the proprietor, went to the Police of Paris, and re turned with the I'rocureur du Itoi and more Gendarmes, released the Englishmen, and took up many of the French, who are in pri son, and among ethers, a man named Polvi, who had been formerly a groom to Mr. WILSON, and who had been instrumental in creating I the riot, a very dangerous character, and it is said, from the deposi tions taken, he will be transported at least. It is generally believed it will not end here, such is the general hatred ; the students of the Ecole Veterinaire have been locked up by the Professors, and they declare their determination of getting out to attack them. 'I he same spirit shews itself among the Artil lery at Vincennes, having lately been engaged in several rows in the Park. A poor Englishwoman, within a month of her confinement, was knocked down and beat by four Frenchmen last week. An English boy, going for milk the other morning, was refused at two places, and at the third was knocked down and kicked out of the house, with the application of Anglais.—Many men were lying dangerously hurt : Thomas Colly has his skull fractured by a boat-hook ; and Wm. Walker ilia arms broken, and an English child nearly killed. A plait %vita detected two days ago, for five or 600 men from the Faubourg St. Antoine to join the inhabitants of Charenton, upon which proper measures were taken to suppress it. The BEY of Tunis died on the 28th ult. at his royal palace. He is succeeded by his eldest son, SIDI HAS SAN BEY, without opposition, which kas been announced by salvos of artillery from the castle and forts. His brother, SADI MesravA BEY, is at present in the coun try, collecting their revenue, which perhaps may be un fortunate for SIDI HASSAN, they not being very good friends." It has been reported to us, on - the authority of private accounts from Demarara, that such was the rancorous hostility of some persons to the unforttniate Missionary. Mr. SMITH, that they threatened to drag his body from the grave, and suspend it ort a gibbet. We hope, for the honour sit' humanity, that this was not the case.
