It is now some months since we have received any accounts .frorn those dependencies ; and we must ac knowledge that we feel very anxtoes for an arrival, as, from such a length of time having elapsed, we are in perfect ignorance of either the efficiency of the force stationed there, or the state of the country and oar rela tions with the native Bitters, and. what is more yard cularly of consequnce. - the. position and useasursta the Ashantees, whom the knowledge of Geiteral Tar ner's death may embolden again te try their fqrces against us; in which cue, the calamities we have had once so deeply to deplore, may be revived. In fact, it is time that either these possessions were formed into a ,separate government, or merely kept up as forts, The retaining at Cape Coast an establishment for carrying the intentions of Great Britain into effect, (the expense of which, as voted by Parliament, is far beyond the amount granted to this colony), is in a great degree ren dered useless by its being attached to this Government ; which really has never yet been enabled to exercise such an authority there as the circumstances of the times required, except when the head of the Adminis tration himself has been upon the spot—an absence from which has always proved of the greatest injury to the particular interests of the colony itself. It is now six weeks sitrce his Honour the Acting Go vernor left this for the Gambia, and we may therefore hourly expect his return—an event that will prove as gratifying to us all, as it is desirable for the public good; and more especially as k relates to the particu lar objects of maintaining this Colony, which we consi der to be so intimately connected by our relations with the surrounding countries, as to induce us to hail the present good feeling of the neighbouring Chiefs, and bring it , forward as the surest criterion that could be ad vancedbf the influence of this Government, and the increasing importance of the setslement ; which, while extending its limits and authority, mast be materially benefitted• by the commerce thus secured to us alone with the nations Of the interior, by the paths being open for the valuable productions of those countries to the water side, for barter for the goods bf our merchants; and, what is of more paramount importance, by the 'abandonment of the inhuman traffic in men, which has too long debased and kept back these Chiefs from cor dially soliciting the friendship and good offices of the colony. The return of the Governor will, we hope, consolidate this present state of affairs ; his unction alone is required to give effect to the great good which it is now in our power to effect, by acceding to the wishes of the numerous Chiefs, who, without any soli citation on our part, have offered to us the possession of certain parts of their territories, with the view of thus enabling them to put a stop to the slave trade, and to carry on a more extended commerce with the colony. 17th.—By an arrival in the last week from the Rio Nunez, we learn that a brig, under French colours, had been lying there since the t 2d ult; for a cargo of slaves. It is supposed that she will, if they can be procured, take five hundred wretched beings. The whole country is, of cour s e, in requisition to supply this miscreant's cupidity, who is protected in his villany from the in terference of this Colony or his Majesty's cruisers, by the colours and the nation he belongs to. Our ship news announces the arrival' f another slave vase; the Spanish schooner ?honor, which, we understand, has 173 soilhe. tunates on board. The increase of this trait is realhoniblv• 10th.—That a number of piratical vess Us are cruia. ing on the coast at present, and fur some time past, hoe ,been pretty clearly demonstrated by the information obtained by almost every arrival from the southward. The schooner Elie, of this colony, on her passage up, was boarded off Cape Palmas by a brig of this descrip. don, hoisting an American ensign and Brazilian pen. dant; and the Captain and craw taken out of her and put on board the pirate, who sent his own people in their place, and detained the former a prisoner the whole night, when he was restored to his vessel, after being desired to sign a paper to the effect that he (die pirate) had not plundered his vessel of anything; which was refused by the Captain, who did not feel satisfied that spoliation of the cargo had not followed die sea. zure of his vessel, but which, on examination, was found not tobe the case. The object of this outrage on a merchantman under English colours, cannot be mis taken ; fortunately, however, for her owner, it would seem that the cargo (African produce) did not offersuf ficient temptation to excite the cupidity of this lawless rover, who we hope may yet be fallen in with by some Of our cruisers. We understand that the Captain of the Elise shortly after his vessel was released, fell in with his Majesty's ship Redwing, and acquainted Captain Clavering of the citcumstance,giving him a description of the brig, when it appeared his Majesty's ship had given chace a few days before to a vessel answering the description, but which escaped by her superior sailing. We subjoin the description of this vessel, for the kilos.- ' mation of our nautical friends, and more particular* those brave officers who are in command of the men of war at present on the coast. DE3CRIPT/ON— annerican build ; pierced for 20, and mounting 15 or 20 guns; very sharp in appearance, and low in the water; painted black, with white streak and ports; masts slightly raking ; main gaff painted black; goes under the following designatiuns : American brig Spark, and El Famador ; and MA Viucedor, Bra zilian privateer. We have this week the painful reflection of an nouncing the arrival of another slave vessel—the Por tuguese schooner La Fortune, taken by his Majesty's ship Brazen off Princes island, having on hoard at the time 2+5 of the unfortunate naives of this Continent, +5 of whoni had terminated their sufferings on their passage here, leaving 200 wretched survivors afflicted with those diseases generally prevailing on board these floating receptacles of misery. The extent apd audacity with which this inhuman traffic is now carried on, indeed, but too painfully brought to our notice, by the • .4, The following statement will throw some light On the recent intelligence from Chili: During the time that the Chilian Government was exerting all its strength toveduce Chiloe, the Liberator s Bolivar, made a tender of a detachment of his'army in Peru to act with them in enabling them to accomplish their object. This offer was civilly declined on the part of the Chilian Administration, becau s se it was sp• prehended that‘the Liberator would give the command of this auxiliary force to his friend General 0 . 11 ggins, who might be induced to avail himself of the oppor. tunity thus presented, to deprive his old antagonist. General Freire, of the supreme Directorshir, and plate himself at the head of the State. The Chilian p Does at last effected their object without assistance of any kind, 'and as report states v ro the no small disappointment of the party who thus offered their aid. The object which Bolivar is supposed to have had in view, first in offering the assistance of his troops to re, duce Chiloe, and, subsequently, in insisting on his right to appoint their commander, was to have sent his friend O'Higgins (who is now with him at Lima) into Chiloe, with a force that might have enabled him to recover his former ascendancy. That General is considered a man of considerable military talents, is allowed ro be a person of great private worth and respectability, and is known to be not only a favourite with Bolivar, but with the higher classes, or aristocracy of Chile. Had he, therefore, appeared in his native country with 4,000 or 5,000 Colombian bayonets, in addition to the strength of his own partisans, and the influence of his personal character, there is little doubt that his ambition would have been gratified with the supreme Directorship of the Republic. Having failed in,his first well-planned endeavour; h is stated in letters from Lima, that he hoped to sfleceed by gaining over to his side a portion of the Chilian army, That part of the troops to whom his emissaries had the easiest access, was the garrison of Chiloe, and here, accordingly, he resolved to clmmence the work of seduction and intrigue. Stich; we have no doubt, is the key to the following account of the mu;iny—the connecting principle which renders the details of the Si. Jago Gapite intelligible. That the dangers which thence threaten the existing order of things in Chili, tre not so formidable or so imminent as might at first siglk appear, may be gathered from two circumstances—, first, the garrison of Chiloe, though it may be an cacti lent nucleus for rebellion, from the ease with which the place may be defended, and its convenient position for making descents on the coasts, consists evidently of but a small military force; and, secondly, the project of insurrection must have been organized, and the intrigue of O'Higgins hatched, before the Liberator had heard of the rebellion of Pus and the danger which threatened his supremacy on the Spanish Main. The latter events mast either bring him back to Colombia in person, or induce him to seed thither so large a portion of his troops, that he will have few disposable resources, and probably little inclination to extend his line of opera tions to the neighbourhood of Cape Horn. An official communication states, that the G)lonshian Om is now recognised and admitted in France,as well as the Mexican. We extract from the Supplement to the Bombay Cou rier of the Ist of April, the following particulars of a ♦ery gallant exploit between a party stationed at Milroy'', ender Ensign Clark, of the3.l Madras Native Infantry, and a greatly superior force of the enemy " On the evening of the 15th of February, Ensign Clark having received intelligence that a body of men had been dispatched by the Ex-Governor of Martaban to attack the villages of Bew and bil low, proceeded to the former to take the personal command of the small picquet stationed there, and to ascertain tttk measures that might be necessary, leaving Captain Johnstone, of the Commissa riat, who happened to be at Mikow, collecting supplies, in charge of the main party, which he had promptly offered his Assistance to command. A little before daylight, on the morning of the 16th, the enemy surrounded the village of Bew with a force which left Ensign Clark no alternative but to fall back on the main party. fie accordingly forced his way through the enemy, and was soon joined by Lieutenant Johnstone, who had marched to his assistance with a reinforcement. Ensign Clark continued his retreat to his position at Mikow, where, concentrating his small force, he determined to make a stand, and extending his line, so that one flank rested on the river, and the other on the house of a Rahoon, he successfully checked the advance of the enemy till about half-past eight o'clock. Observing the Burman line waver, Ensign Clark then ordered his men to charge, on which the enemy fled in the most precipitate manner, neglecting theits usual custom of carrying off the dead ; 40 bodies were found on the field. Our loss was inconsiderable, but one killed mid seven wounded. The fire of the Borman' from jinjals and small arms was kept up with great noise and petite r, ante, but was ill directed. The detachment at Nitkow did n teed 150 men, whilst the Romans were not fewer than 15,0004; I. mediately after t:ie newiriA the 4Clit)ll reached Colonel Pepper, a reinforcement of 100 rank and bye of the 3d Regiment, with 20 pioneer., under Captain Leggett, was sent to hlikow, as well as 100 from l'egu, by whisk the post, which is one of some importance, was secured against the repetition of a similar attempt." t .
