Letters and papers have been received from Sierra Leone to the 17th of April. We have extracted from the latter the official notice issued by the Members of the Council, in consequence of the fate of Sir Charlt. • Nl.Carthy, which will be found annexed. The letters contain no additional information respecting the battle, his Majesty's ship Bann, wl;ich brought the news from Cape Coat, having sa.led brfwe the date of our Lest direct advices horn the:•:ce. One letter, speaking of the iginal objects of Sir Charles's expedition, says—" Ills Excellency left Cape Coast, in consequence of the hostile feeling manife,ted by the Ashantees, in the hope that Le might be able, by his influence and conciliatory dispo sition, to effect and establish a permanent peace with them: and it was after he had satisfied himself of the impossibility of concluding any amicable arrangement with them that he had recout se to arms." Though Sir . Charles, when attacked, had only four hundred men with him, it appears that he might have defeated them, or at least have escaped with his life, but for the want of ammunition. Had the other divisions, commanded by Major Chisholm and Captain Laing, only been. aware of his danger, there seems no question but that the Ashantees would have been completely routed. We . close our extracts from these letters with the following tribute to the private character of Sir Charles M'Carthy " I cannot possibly depict to you the distress and sorrow which pervade all classes in this Colony at the un timely end of our beloved Governor. The widow, the fatherless, the poor and needy, the desolate and op pressed, will deeply feel his loss. He was a man uni versally esteemed, severed, and beloved. His object and aim was the good of Aft ic's sons.' He delighted in deeds of charity. He supported every Institution here which has fur its object the civilization of Africa in general."

The Members of his Majesty's Council have the me lancholy duty of announcing to the Civil and Military Officers, and to the inhabitants of the Colony at large, the heart-rending and afflicting intelligence of the death of his Excellency Brigadier - General Sir Charles M'Carthy, their revered Governor and Commander-in- Chief, who was killed in an action n ith the Ashantees, on the 21st of January last. In making this communication known to the Public, the Council are aware of their inability to do that jus tice to their own feelings, and those of their fellow-co lonists (who have for so many years enjoyed the benefit of his Excellency's parental care and Government), which such a distressing calamity wonlil call forth. His Excellency's administration of the Government of this Colony, during the most arduous and important period of its establishment, has been marked through out by the distinguished approbation of his beloved Sovereign, and is visible in the increased and increasing welfare and prosperity of its inhabitants. Under his auspices it has arisen to a state of importance and re spectability which places it among the most improving of his Majesty's colonial possessions, and has eminently proved the wisdom of his Excellency's measures. The unwearied attention which he devoted to his Government, and the fostering care he extended to those placed under his command, have so sensibly endeared him to every class of the inhabitants of this colony, that time alone can soften their gr ief or mitigate their sorrow. It may, indeed, be truly said, that in him his country has lost a brave and highly talented officer, while Africa and Afric's sons are doerned to mourn the death of one who has ever shewu himself their warmest friend and benefactor. The Council cannot close this notification without alluding to the lamented loss of one of its members, the Honourable T. S. Buckle, and of J. W. Wetherell, Esq. private secretary to the Governor, stho fell gallantly fighting by the side of his Excellency in the same ac tion. In them the colony at large have to deplore the loss of two of its distinguished ornaments, si hose public and private virtues, (luring many years' residence, have so justly merited their good opinion.
