SIERRA LEONE. Concluded from the STA It of Friday. It is observed that the system which is now pursued, of requiring the newly imported Africans to combine and assist each other, during the time they are supported, in completing their houses and cultivating the grounds, is conducive to much good, as they arc en abled mote speedily to provide for themselves, tux) thus the 2d a day for six months, with the clothing, cooking utensils, and agri cultural instruments, given to them when first located, are found quite adequate to their wants, and no further pecuniary assistance is afterwards required by them from Government. After describing the cheerful appearance of the country on each side of the road between the villages, the report proceeds to state, that the difficulty shich had presented itself in augmenting the po pulation of some of tht old established villages, owing to the steri lity of the lands in their immediate vicinity, had induced the Go vernor to make a selection of two pieces of unoccupied ground near Cape Sierra I.eone, and about three miles distant from Freetown, where he had formed two villages capable of settling 800 families. It is observed, that although these places have been but recently formed, and the individuals composing the inhabitants rescued from the holds of slave ships but a few months back, many of them are in the possession of goats, pigs, and poultry, and on Sundays appear cleanly attired. The following extracts will be found interesting In those villages where the disbanded soldiers of the West India Regiments and Royal African corps are settled, the inhabi tants generally derive eminent benefit frum the pensions being paid on the spot ; and by the constant circulation of money several have established shops for retailing merchandize, and others who have been provident have built comfortable stone and frame houses. This disposition and spirit for improvement is most apparent at Welling. ton, York, Hastings, and Waterloo. "Several of the liberated Africans, who have obtained lots of land in Freetown, have built, and are now in the progress of building, good houses. These are principally mechanics and hawkers of mer. chandise. Many of the liberated Africans and disbanded soldiers employ themselves in the burning of lime, sawing of boards, cutting shingles and clap boards, all of which are carried for miles from the spot where they are prepared to their villages, and from thence either brought to Freetown by land or by water in canoes which are kept and hired out for that purpose by the liberated Africans residing in the villages situate on the banks of the river or on the sea coas t . In return for these articles they generally receive cult, which is not kept dormant, for with that they purchase cattle from the natives trading to the sulony, and taking them to the country villages where there is excellent pasture, they are fattened and afterwards sent to the market, and • profit of nearly 100 per cent. is realized by this species of industry. Pigs and poultry are raised in the villages, and the market of Freetown receives from them an ample supply daily of this Kind of stock, as well as of eggs and country vegetables, consisting of ochre, yavas, spinage, and cocoa-tops, also yams, ra sada, cocoa, Indian corn, ground-nuts, pine.applea, sugar-cane, fire-wood, salt, grass, &c ; the value of these articles may be es timated by the well-known fact, that a labouring man can go into the market and purchase as much food for three halfpence as will suffice for two meals. Some of the persons supplying the market are known to travel from Waterloo and Hastings, the former being 22 and the latter 16 miles from Freetown, carrying their produce in baskets on their heads; this kind of industry clearly manifests the desire the liberated Africans have to labour voluntarily to enable them by honest means to become possessed of those luxuries which they me their more wealthy brethren enjoying. " The police of the villages is administered by the liberated ) Africans, each settlement being allowed from eight to ten specie constables and two coastabks paid by the government. The ma nagers and gentlemen attached to the Church Missionary Society perform the duties of rnagistate, commissioner of the court for the recovery of small debts, and coroner, and one day in the week is set apart for hearing of cases of a trifling nature ; those of serious consequence are investigated immediately on their coming to the knowledge of the individuals authorized to take cognizance of them. " The liberated Africans have given evident proof of their offer.- tan for the laws as they are administered, by t h e interest they show in implicitly obeying them ; and when it has been found requiiiite to adopt local regulations particularly affecting them, they hate cheerfully conformed to them. By an act for keeping in repair the roads and bridges, every adult male in the colony is bound to give six days labour gratuitously, and the provisions of the said act are enforced about the latter end of November, when the liberated Af ricans come forward, leaving probably their daily work, at the risk of incurring their employer's displeasure, to give the assistance, which they are called upon for. " The numerous factories established by the merchants up this and the adjacent rivers, for the purchase of the teak timber cut by the natives, and partly worked by the liberated Africans apprenticed to those persons ; and so very useful are they found in rafting and cutting the timber, and sawing boards and scantling, that many of them are receiving from tout to Bye dollars per month with food and clothing. At the expiration of the period of their apprentioeship (three years) they are delivered over to the department, and laded, without any expense to Government, in the villages; but many prefer remaining at the factories to laboar for wages. " In the larger villages, where the liberated Atiicat;s haw* the advantage of a resident clergyman. the beneficial it;ftnence of the Christian religion has been eminently t:isplayed, and by ti.e exertion and assiduity of the Church Mission:it ies, nsunbers of unfortunate beings, labouring tinder the grossest ignorance and barb a ri s m wh e n landed in this colony, have been converted to Christianity. and are now rendered comfortable and happy in the circumstances in which they arc pluced. " The schools for the admission of children burn in the ccdony are still progressively improving, and the parents evince all anxious desire to avail thenauhea of the opportunity afforded of obtaining useful instrunion fur their children. The number of free scholars admitted in the villages arc as follows :—At B:ithurst, 132; liast ings, 48 ; Regent. 1113 ; Gloucester, ltd. Total 303. " By a late arrangement entered into with the clergymen of the Church Missionary Society in this colony, they have extended their aupetintendance to the orphan liberated African children at school. at Regent, Bathurst, and }castings, and will likewise do so, as soon as they have it in their power, to the other villages." The last of the papers relating to the liberated African depart ment is the correspondence between Major Ricketts and the Church Missionaries, which led to the transfer of the schools at Regent, Ba thurst, anti Hastings, to the latter. The next papers are those which relate to the " Black Troops." The correspondence begins with a despatch from Earl Bathurst to the late Major-General Turner, dated the 21st of January, 1828. It stator, that considering the casualties which had occurred during the preceding year among the troops stationed on the Western coast of Africa, it had been deemed expedient that the Royal African Corps should in future be recruited with blacks. The next letter is from Sir George Murray to the late Lieutenant-Governor Lumley, dated tie 2811 s of August, 1828. reminding him of its being in con. templatian to reduce the establishment of the Royal African Corps, and desiring him to suggest the means which he might deem best enlculated for embodying a militia force for the defence of the co. Troy. Majat Ricketts, the Governor, who succeeded Lieutenant Lumley, acknowledges the receipt of Sir George Murray's letter, and states, that if one company of the Royal African Corps, com posed of picked men, were left in the colony, that force, with the taAitia which could be readily formed from the discharged soldiers of the West India Regiment, would be sufficient to maintain tran quillity. Ile suggests, however, that one hundred of the dis charged soldiers at Freetown might be formed into an Artillery Company of Al Sir George Murray, in a despatch, dated the 21st of January, 1829, states that the expense of clothing and pay. ing the local militia must be borne entirely by the colony; that his Majesty's Government wonld prefer that such militia should be rt‘ised chiefly front the inhabitants of Freetown, and that the Mkt- Ibitants of the agricultural districts should be left as much as possible to the pursuit of their ordinary occupations. In this despatch is enclosed a copy of a letter, addressed by the Under Secretary of State to the Deputy Secretary at War, expressing the opinion of Sir George Murray, that measures should be taken for further gradually reducing the Royal Aftican Corps, during the year 1829, to two companies—one to be stationed in Sierra Leone, and the other in the Gambia. Major Ricketts, in his next letter to Sir George Murray, states that the merchants and other respectable re. sidents arc disposed to meet the wishes of his Majesty's Govern. ment, in forming a militia force in the colony, by accepting ap poinnnents as officers, and submits, in a list enclosed, the names of the gentlemen to he appointed to commissions. The next and last despatch from Secretary Sir George Murray on this subject, relates to the framing of a law for regulating the application of the princi ples upon which the militia should be established. l'nder the head of "Gold Coast," a variety of despatches are given, commencing with one from hlajor.General Turner to Earl Bathurst, dated the 24th of March, 1825, in which doubts arc ex pressed as to the expediency of keeping up the establishment on the Gold Coast. After observing that, under the wisest system of management, it would have been found difficult so to conduct t affairs of this intricate establishment as to make it a source either of public satisfaction or profit, and adverting to the difficulties into wh:ch the Government had been drawn, Major-General Turner says :—` 6 I would recommend to your Lordship, under any circum stances, to abandon the forts of Dixcove and Annamboe, thus con centrating the troops at Cape Coast and Accra : but I beg not to be understood as recommending the continuance of troops at any of the forts on the Gold Coast, because there are not, and there never can be, for want of harbours and many other causes, any adequate national recompense for the sacrifice, either as regards commerce, I civilization, or religious instruction." In another despatch of the 9th of April, 1825, he observes, with respect to the commercial concerns and the military protection of the Gold Coast, that nei- 1 they the one nor the other arc in a condition, or likely, under ' the present policy, to be in a condition, to give satisfaction to those concerned in them, or to yield advantage to England ; and expresses his belief that the keeping up of these settle ments will be to the Government a source of dissatisfaction, expense, and waste of public property. The above commu nications are noticed by Earl Bathutat, in a dispatch, dated the sth of July, 1825, in which it is stated that his 31ajesty's Government had not deemed it expedient to abandon the coast alto. gether, bat had determined to reduce the number of points of which Imilitary possession should he retained in that quarter, to the two most important—viz. Cape Corot Castle and the fort of Accra.-- Major. General Turner is then desired to withdraw from the minor posts along the coast, the garrison, ordnance, an] ordnance stores, and concentrate them in the two tots above-mentioned, and make a correspondent reduction in the civil establishment belonging to the Gold Coast. Earl Bathurst, in another despatch, dated the 22d of October, 1825, authorizes 31ajor-General to remove a portion of the civil establishment to the Gambia, together with such ordnance and other stores as could be conveniently spared from the forts. Two other despatches from Earl Bathurst, addressed to the successor of Niajor-General Turner, Sir Neil Campbell, dated the 20th of June, and the 17th of July, 1826, contain instructions as to maintaining the Gold Coast settlements against the Ashantees. In the first, the Governor is directed to concentrate his force at Cape Coast Castle, and abandon such of the other forts as might appear inexpedient or impracticable to maintain against the enemy.— In the second despatch he is authorized, if he should find the situa of Accra superior to Cape Coast Castle in point of healthiness, &c. to select that as the post to be retained. The subsequent despatches wire to the abandonment of the establishments on the Gold Coast. 'rite Governor, Sir Neil Campbell, is informed in a despatch from Earl Bathurst, dated the 21st of March, 1827, that it is the inter. tion of His Majesty's Government that the forts should be evacuated at the expiration of that year; and he is desired to take the neces sary measures for withdrawing the public establishments from the forts. He Is desired also to inform the British merchants, that If, in the event of their wishing to remain on the coast, they should think it expedient to embody themselves and their labourers into an armed militia, it was proposed that the first year a sum, not ex ceeding 2,0001. by way of outfit and pay, 1,5001. for the second year, and 1,0001. afterwards, would be assigned to them for the sup port of such militia; but that no other aid would be afforded them by Government for the purpose of protecting the forts against ag. gression. In another despatch from Earl Bathurst, of the same -late, the Governor is authorised to delay the evacuation beyond the end of the year. in the event of its being deemed accessory by the merchants for completing their arrangements. We find no commu nication from the Governor on the subject of the above despatches during the year 1827. There are two despatches from Mr. Secretary Huskisson, dated the 25th of October, and the 10th of December, 1827, and one from Sir George Murray to Lieutenant-Govern, r Denham, dated the 4th cf June, 1828, urging that final arrrange ments should be made for the evacuation of the forts by the end of that year. In two despatches from Major Ricketts of the subsequent date (25th ofJune and 23d of Aug. 1828,) the Colonial Secretasy is informed that the forts of Cape Coast Castle and Accra have been transferred to their resident British merchants. The last of the pa.. pen upon this subject is a copy of a despatch from Secretary Sir George Murray to the officer administering the government at Sierra Leone, dated the 20th No. 1828, adverting to the communications had with several ef the merchants in L o ndon engaged in trade with the Gold Coast, respecting the terms on which his Majesty's Govern ment would lend their assistance in enabling the merchants to main tain possession of the forts, and transmitting copies of the two letters addressed to Messrs. Barnes, Cock, and Brown, and to Mean. Barnes, Brown, and Forster, explanatory of the anazigentents and conditions under which the forts of Cape Coast Castle and Accra are still to he eonsulend as dependencies at Sierra Lame, and main. seined at the public charge, although governed by the merchants resident upon the spot in the character of justices of the peace. In Sir George Mervers despatch, the Governor is desired to provide for the municipal regulations of the forts, and to call t Atete. ,c 4 rtaia, persons, who are named, to be loader! of the peace; and na 111 ano desired to take measures eo• passing an act for enabli.ig t!te Justices to exercise the neee..ary powers for the suppression and purislini•nt of offences against the laws cognizable by them. The next set of papers air the queries addressed to Dr. Ila-ry, Bell, and others, by the Commissioners of Inquiry, pit. tie replies of these n•edical officers, containing the opinion,. resulting from their observaiions upon Sierra Leone, and its dependencies in the Gambia, and on the Gold Coast. and of its effect upon the different descriptions of persons forming the population of irie Clements. These papers occupy 27 pages. We collect from tit,. different opinions given, that there is some degree of variety of cli mate, and alight diversity of disease at each of the three e.tahli.i - ments, Sierra Leone, the Gambia, and the Gold Coast but, as I Ir. Barry observes, they appear each alike destructive to exotic consti. tutions. "No cultivation, (he adds.) no sanatory regulation, I feel convinced, will ever render these colonies congenial to Euripean constitutions, particularly to the common soldier, whose irregular habits are too strongly confirmed ever to hit eradicated, and the ge nerality of men of that description who eseltpe the first season, sill drag on a miserable useless existence, exhibiting, in their disiased and broken constitutions, the most appalling spectacles of taiied manhood." =We have not room for further extracts front the papers tinder ti is The next paper is a return, showing the number of deaths ani.)ng the troops stationed at the different settlements upon the %est coast of Africa, from 1810 to 1825. The total number is stated to be 2.255, which includes 1,912 Europeans, and 254 Atriums. The last paper is a return, showing the number of deaths in His ISlnjesty's fleet on the western coast of Africa, from the ycrr 1816 to 1828, inclusive. The total number is 254 ;of which 75 Ap. stated to be deaths by accident, 18 supposed to he murdered, aid 6 deaths in ac:i.m. BRAZIL PAPERS.

FRENCH PAPERS. RECEIVED LAST NIGHT. From Le Temps. The ordinance for the dissolution to be published between the Ist and sth of May. 'I he electoral colleges to be convoked fur the 10th or 20th June. The Chambers to be assembled about the 15th of July ; such are the probabilities of to-day, which will be, perhaps the chimeras of to-morrow. We abaft mark down carefully all the variations of the political thermometer ; first, because in the number it is not impossible that we shall meet with that which may become the event : besides, it will contribute to give a complete idea tt. the immense uneftlainty which preys on the minds of the mi nistry. A very general report was spread last night in all the poli. ' tical saloons, that after long hesitation the dissolution of the Chant. bet of Deputies was definitively settled upon. It appears even titst the ordinance was signed in the last council. The electoral college; are convoked for the 31st of May. It is certain that all the men o: the extreme right, who were in the confidence of this measure, have some time since taken their precautions, and exerted every mesas or ensuring their re.election. " Already," says our correspondent of the department of Soir et Cher, " the friends of M. Jam de Bauvoir, one of the 300 of M. de Villele, have formed thogoodoso into • society to recall him to the benches from whence he was 'Wised . in 1827. In the arondisseinent of Villefranche (Aveyron), N. de Belem, Secretary-General of the Ministry of the Interior, who de.
