At this time the trade of Annamaboe averaged 300 ounces of gold, 15 tons of ivory, and as much palm oil as the merchants were will ing to purcbase monthly; two-thirds of this valuable trade falling to the share of Mr. Swaney. The unwelcome ne en of the Serjeant's seizure reached Sir Charles M'Carthy at Sierra Leone on the Scl of November, 1822, at'a inqinent when on the point of embarking in the slbop of war Dtiver, to snake a visit of inspection to the Gambia; his - imitations were of course immediately altered, arid. he -reaolved upon re turning to the Gold Coast, to enquire personallyinto the state of the affair . ; and, in order to make a little shew orpower„ he took sioith him S 2 rank and file of the 2d West India Regiment, under the command of Captain Stepney, in the Colonial service; he was fol lowed by a. small patty of recruits for the Royal African Corps, under the command of Captain Laing, who had returned 2 few days before from a mission into. the interior countries-Of Africa. The return of the Governor-General to .the Gold 'oast, which took place on the 7th of December, was hailed by the natives with every demonstration of joy; undisguised happiness pervaded, the countenances of every one, and afforded to these of his followers; who were real friends of African liberation, a sight far more imposing - than the triumph of the greatest conquesess! How distressing to view the present altered state oethe picture. Their protector no more! • British infloence peetturaed Themselves exposed in defence of their liberties—their wive* and their children left to the un pitying knife of their ol d and blood-thirsty oppressors' I! For so-they.mnst be called, despite of all the boasted humanity of the blood-sutiting despot of Ashantee. Sir Charles M'Carthy was quite undecided what line to pursue in this dilemma; he was unwilling to proceed to hotilitiesswithout knowingthe real intentions of the Adhantees, and negociation was impractiCable, unless attended with considerable risk, for 41 intercourse be tweet) the Ashantees and the settlements had ceased since she mints of the serjeant.

Captain Laing, Royal Light Infantry, made a tender - of his services to pro ceed to Coomassie,-and 'endeavour to bring about an undemanding with_ the King; a but that • most worthy maa, the late much esteemed Governor, objected tothe scurries as being too perilous. La sEer it attempt the settlement of the differences by proceeding to ficsquah was also refused, and the time passed on inactively. and in idle spoculationa, until the Ist of February.. les, when the set jean was be beaded et.

Charles M'Carthy. The expedition to Donquah; loathe 911th of February, followed the murder of the •serjeant, and was one of ihassiet gallant and sucoessfal reneontres we bare had with the enemy; for, although the advanced guard only, Mounting to about one benched men, were en gaged (the main body, under Major Chisholm, having been betrayed, and led astray by a treacherous guide), the Ashantees, amounting to-nearly two hundred, and * large force of Fantees, were pursued fora distance of eight -.miles, totally defeated, and signal punish ment administered in the death of , four of their Chiefs, and nearly one hundred men. The -superiority of the' Ashantee mode of fighting over that of the Fantee, was clearly demonstrated by the different effect of their re spective firing, the • Ashantees, front their steady aim, bringing down eur men at every volley, while that of tbe trainees, being directed 100 high, merely crowned us with leaves.; and it was quite as well that they were not more skilful in the use of the musket at that time, as the party of Ashantees; with the help of s stray shot now and then from the Fantees, contrived to kill and wound seventy-one out of the handfif opposed to them. The report of this victory spread like wildfire through the -country, and before'Sir Charles le ft the Coast, in the ()nth of May following, he received' the allegiance of most of the Fantees, and of various other native tribes, who, desirous to rid themselves of the Ashantee yoke, Ileeked from all quarters to his banner, which was em phatically termed, and looked upon at that time, as the standard of liberty. While such things were going on, and the most gigantic preparations for war, .were every where in a state of-forwardness, the 'King of Ashantee busied himself, by means of emissaries, in an- attempt to intimidate . our allies ; he sent to one, advising him sarcastically, to arm the fishes of the sea; to another, ;he intimated his intention of carrying the terror of war 'into his country with such alarming sounds, that be would awake his father from the silent ;rate ; and to Sir Charles M'Carthy he sent his compliments, with a 'threat of soon having his head as an ornament to great war drum of - Ashanleel He also acknowledged ale murder of the serjeant, and directed the messenger to say, he had seen the linife with-whisk it was per crated. To the Fantees generallyche threatened exter mination ; he advisedthem to be on their guard, for could talk over theethite men whenever he pleased, alit then come down upon them. He ridiculed their con fidence in Madidellke name leywhiehthe natives called ;Governer ~aa doneon a . occasion. . ;biscuit& no impression oh theFantees, who now appeared intpited with a degrle of confidence and enthusiasm quite un usual to them. The Ashantee Monarch, therefore, be ginning to think more seriously of the ma than be was at List disposed to do, and knowing . hit best troop; were on a hakardous campaign in the Crept' country, at length sent an embassy to Minis*, too p the olive branch to the British through the mediabn of the Dutch Governor. SW Charles MiCarthy, estiOng apprised by Governor Eoplinan of the artival of this embassy, and 6f the pacific nature of their message, sent up four Gentlemen ro receive it (these were Captain Laing, Ensign Wetherill, Mr. Wdliante; Cola Mal Secretary, - and Mr. F. Swaney, fnerchant) ; but to their great surprise, they found, on - appearing in the Palaver-hall, that the tenour of the message was threat of vengeance on the people of Cape Coast, - whom they accused (perhaps with some justice) of poi, soning the mind of the new Governor againit the King of Ashantee ; they denied that 'Assai bad sanctioned the murder of the serjeant, and laid the whole affair at the door of the Fames, whom they accused of per. fidy of the blackest nature. This message, so opposite to >A hat had been' anticipated, not only surprised' the Gentlemen from Cape Coast, but also seemed to strike with astonishment the Dutch Governor himself, stho declared upon the honour of a Netherlander, that he had understood it differently yesterday ; and, in proof of his assertion, called upon hit linguist to explain the message, as interpreted to him the day before: It Was of such a nature, that had it been delivered, pacific ar rangements might have been entered into; but as the Ashantees .denied any knowledge of it, the conference' . was broken up, and matters stood exactly is before.— This occurrence took place 'about the beginning of May, 1822, and Bir C. WCardsy, a few weeks after wards, left Cape Coast, in the Cyrene sloop of war an a tour of inspection to the Gambia and Sierra Le ine; his instructions were very concise- 0 To make as many Allies as possible—to induce them to oppose any force the Ashantees alight send towards the Goast--‘but to risk as little ar possible in the way of military enter prise till his return. About a fortnight after his departure (the 4th of June) a report was -prevalent that a body of 2,000 Ashanteer bad crossed the Boosom-pra River,.ind were making their way to the Fantee country: it being of cruse deemed necessary to check their progress, Cap tain Laing - was dispatched with a few regulars, the An namaboe Militia, and a strong native force, to give them battle; but as they retired on hearing of his approach, that Officer directed his attention towards Ajumacon, the territory of a powerful native King, who, there were strong of belief, intended to assist the Ashen tees. of g is arrived on the confines of hii country, which is separated from Fantee by the viver Amiga, a. =lmage was mat to invite him to join in the general cause of freedmen, but. as the invitation was ac cepted, another messenger was dispatched to acquaint him, leis fervidly. that.unless he joined Me white setra the white am meld cone to hist; to which he replied , he was perfectly ready. and they might come as soon as they pleased. On the morning after the receipt of chi/message of defiance, orders were given for the con struction of a bridge acmes the Amissa, which, by the exertions of Messrs. Hutchinson - and Swaney, Captains of Militia, was completed on the evening of the second day ; it was not a work of , such magnitude as that which Cesar threw across the Rhine; but it had the effect of intimidating Appiai who, perceiving that his ricer afforded him no protection, sent a friendly mes sage to Captain Lstiog, and joined him in great state neat day, at the bead of 1,600 'men. well appointed with areas and ammunition. Wish this farce, amount ing now to about 8,000 affective firelocks, a movement was mode.througb the kingdom of' Alumacou towards Esseeooma,,the territory of Quail* Ansunquals, another chief in allianch with the King of Ashantee, who hear ing of the approach of so large a force, Sed from his country, and took refuge at Coomassie. Everything. after this bearing the temblaice of quietness, the army returned to quarters on the .20th of June, the various Chiefs, who had been long disunited, having sworn to - • one another to assemble instantly at any punt the 'shim' • men should comnatid. Towards- the end of July another disposition of making an inroad upon the Faroee country, was mani fested by the Ashantees, and it was judged espedimte to form an encampment •about twenty five ntileafredt the coast, for the purpose of watching their motions; the site of a deserted Fantee town, named Yancoomas sie, was the spot chosen, to which a few detachments of regulan and militia were marched on the 2Sth of the month, and were soon afterwards joined by the respee dee native Chiefs, with their troops, making in all a force of about ten thousand men. Another camp was formed at Jouquah, about 'fifteen miles in the rear of Cape Coast, for the purpose of foiling the enemy in that quarter, it being reported that be was mating for the coast ia -two strong divisions of thirty thousand me each. These judicious preparations bad "the elm of keeping them at bay for some time ; baked it hops 40 be believed that they had again re tired; Mes t a& the eveningaf she 20th of August, an septets from Aiiiiinaeo2 reached Yancomassie with tidings of the Ashantee army being within forty miles of Apr iss capital s to which they were marching with all speed. Orders were immediately given for a march, and neat morning, at an early hour, Captain Laing quitted Taocoomassie at the heed of a tolerably well organised force oftegolan, militia, and aatives,amount leg in all to about 5,000 men, the remainder being left at the camp, under command of Captain Hutchinson, firi case of a stratagem bsibg intended by the Asbestine. On the afternoon of the led, the force from Yantis,. . reached Ajumacon, which was found in a stale • treat alarm and confusion ; the women painted mad bespattered with chalk; making . .felioAis for wade Mb the -castoffs of their country ; the mew niearet them in fantastic dresses, and ready pa eapected conflict, the Ashantee army being then 040 lines distant.

At this time he entertained a great opinion of Sir Charles MiCarthfc consequence and ability ; he had bawd he was a powerful fighting man, and bad large possessisms, independent of the Gold Coast; if, there fore, this compliment had been paid to him, it is an as sustsption,,by no means chimerical, that he would have been satisfiedito Taiga his sovereignty over the-people of the coast, and they might have enjoyed that state or peaceful security, which an appeal to arms has perhaps deprived them of for ever. Pity it- was that the late much lamented Governor of these Volonies had not been advised to take this step, instead of endeavouring to turn into contempt the authority enacted by that sable and implacable chief. , The Ashantees are by no means a hasty people in their resolutions, and never engage in anything rashly. They have been known to take three years in making preparations for a war, previous to a declaration of hos tilitses, such is their caution and calculation against de. feat. From this pricommon prudence of theirs, Bir C. M'Carthy was allowed to make arrangements, and to quit the coast for a time, perfectly satisfied with the appearance of prosperity exhibited by the happiness and contentment of the natives with whom he held inter course, and utterly unconscious of the hostile intentions of the Monarch of Asbantee,as Ashantees, though not men of any note, visited the settlement as tie lees.- - During his absence the impending storm burst, by the seizure, on the part of the King, - in the month of Augusts,lll22, of a British Berjeant, under some trivial( pretence. This man wits carried off to a 'antes town, named Donquah, about eighteen miles inland ftora An namaboe, and was detained there a prisoner, with an intention of finding out (as was after wards learned) what part we should act in the endeavour to recover, him; whether we should have recourse to force, as in the Mnuree affair, or whether we should demand his re-1 lease, agreeably to the fifth article of the cream*.
