SARA LZONE. inTRAC7 07 A LETTIai PAM JOLT 20, 41117. so The expedition into tiro inmrioe has ended, as I toe mush leased it would do from i:ertain circumstan ces observable in its outset. A year was lost at Sow gal : and then the party went to the most. uaheahhy ISM in the country, the Rio Nees, where all the influence of the country, and of the Rio Pon . if ie a t ti (being slave trade interes9 was against this. consequence was, the natives would not allow them to pass, many ate dead, and the remains of the ex pedition are bete. Mrs Stokee, who commands, is going to Tomb° from this place; and will, I doubt not, succeed. Every thing in the colony is going en well. The Governor intends to mark out our boon &ries next year; and, I think, will open a path by land to the Sherbro. He is very active. The Slave Trade is raging dreadfully on the coast, and no means exist ot checking it. There has been no man of war on the coast since March. Gosee is become quite an emporium. The vessels make their bargain from Te nerife. run over and lie at the Cape de Verd Islands till the slaves *re ready. and then are a in an instant. It is astonishing that when our merchants see they are Losing the whore trade of the toast, and giving all the benefit of Africa to these slave dealers, they do not press Government upon the subject. No other trade can be carried on where that is." Cain OF GOOD HOPS. The following is an extract of i letter from an of. ficer at the Cape of Good Hope:—" Letters have 'been received tram Graham's Town, from which it is apparent that the good effect from the late regula tiffilt for the protection of colonial propert y on the frontiers begin to manifest themselves. I t seems that on the 28th of last month (April) some of HABA.N4 9 II people penetrated into the colony, and succeeded in surprising nineteen head of cattle belonging to some Hottentots. Information was immediately conveyed to Graham's Town of the depredation, when Major !anew, without loss of time, dispatched Lieutenant Betray Veateen, of the 83d Regiment, with 100 men, in pursuit of the fugitives. They were easily traced. and it appeers had returned into the Caffre land by Trumpeter's Drift. finsnwn is one of the Cafre Chiefs who did not attend the conference w 4 h Excerletcy the Governor, on the Kat River.— Lieutenant Vestige pursued the stolen cattle by the traces to has first kraals, and then demanded restitu. lion. The Cafes hesitated in making it; he theft. fore seised an equal number of.Caffte cattle to that stolen, and acqeeinted the Chief with the kraal that his object was nal/ to take back what had been pre vionsiy purloined ; be would wait there till the next morning, Ai give time to consider the necessity and propriety of restitution. Upon day dawning it was Itmnd that, instead of giving up the stolen cattle, the Cairns were preparing to assail his party, and to re take tin 19 oxen he had possessed himself of.

Lieutenant Verne* baying formed his party, commenced firing with such egret that 15 Caffrei were killed, and many more wounded, the remainder immediately dispersed, and the party returned to Graham's Town, when the 19 head ut made were distributed among the Hottentots whose 1 cattle had been stolen.

The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived last night. and in our preceding columns we have given extracts from them.

The French Funds are beginning to recover from their depression. On Saturday the 5 per cents. were at 64f. 85 e. The Paris Papers of Monday also arrived at a late boar to-day.

" At a time when Bible and Missionary Societies are extending' themselves nn all aides, and by their caertions communicating the knowledge of the Gos pel to the heathen world, it will doubtless surprise aid grieve your Readers, to be informed of the great departure from the doctrines of Christianity which prevails in the Church of Geneva ;.--ss Church so in mresting to every Prottatant, as having been the era die of the Reformation. et The proofs of a departure from the true faith in the Church of Geneva, are derived, not from uncer tain documents er from the religious opinions of indi vidual members of its body, but from recent public *cis ot.the Company of its Pastors. • Is I.

Oa the subject of the Geneva Church we have in serted a letter of a very singular complexion. If this letter be correct, that Church, originally the seat and centre of Calvinism, has Rot only abandoned all the distinguishing tenets of the Reformer, by whose name they are distinguished, but the greater part of die peculiar doctrines of Christianity. So much for the propriety, fitness, and necessity, of what some men fondly denominate Me Moots of Me Prophets : so much for the folly which allowed pedagogues to usurp and mankind to concede to them the power of determining who shall and who shall not be deemed competent to instruct mankind in the principles and duties of Christianity.—Go on, ye distributors of :he Bible, with your useful labours, and m.inkind will be brought to the knowledge of the truth in spite of ail the efforts of all the learned Doctors of the world to hide and misrepresent it! The last letters received from Batavia, 'dated March 30, state that the Ambassadors from several of the Native Princes of Java, who were proceeding to pay the compliments of their masters to the Dutch Government, were slopped on the read, and not al lowed to advance further towards Batavia, but for what reasons it was not known. The letters further add, that the islaisd vista exceedingly healthy, but all kinds of provisions were scarce, and very dear. The lesion Advertiser of the Sd ultimo,. states that 14 there was exported from Savannah for the United iinganms, from the Ist of October, 1816, to the 10th of last month, 109,622 bales of cotton, 10,779 barrels of rice, and 8845 hogsheads of tobacco ; and that the whqle crop of 1816 was 120,723 bales of c orlon 13,779 barrels of rice, and 4345 hogsheads of tobacco." Let it be recollected that all this produce is paid for in British manufactures I How careful should na tions be; which maintain such a commercial inter course, to avoid every thing that can have the slightest tendency to induce a hostile mind on either side I Yesterday, about two o'clock, the PRINCE REGENT .left town on a visit to the Princess CHARLOTTE and Prince Liorot.n at Claremont. Yesterday soon after eleven.o'clock her nutsTv accompanied by the Princesse s and EuzA, mu, arrived at the Queen's Palace from Windsor, , escorted by a party of Light Horse. Her MAJIISTY and the PRINCESS/A t after partaking of an early dinner at the Palace, returned to Windsor in the evening. Yesterday afternoon, about five o'clock, the Queen, accompanied by the „Princess Euzaarrn, in her coach and four, escorted by a troop of the 10th Hostas, passing through Turnham Green, was sud denly taken ill. The Quest alighted, and went into a cottage with the Princess rst.masyru and attendants. Her Ditt.tisrst remained there for three quarters of an hour, and having recovered from the attack, was assisted to her carriage, and proceeded on her jour. ney to Windsor. We understand her hinierry.was seised with violent spasms, with which she has lately been afflicted, but we ate happy to say that she soon recovered from their effects. One of her MAJErry's Physicians was sent for. The statement of the Queen's departure for Bath being regulated by the accouchement of the Princess CHARLOTTE is unfounded. Her MAJESTY will hold the November Council upon the state of the Kinn, previous to her departure.—There are numberless ap plications daily at Windsor Castle, and to different persons connected with the QUEEN, by tradesmen at Bath, and on the road from Windsor to Bath, to supply post horses, Scc. Scc. &c. The hoaxers are not idle upon, the occasion. A respectable inn keeper arrived in London yesterday from Devizes, in consequence of a letter he had received, supposed to be written by a Gentleman attached to the Court, making proposals to him to accommodate the QUEEN and suite with beds, kc. on their way to Bath. On the innkeeper's producing the letter, it proved to be a forgery. The Duke of Yone is expected in town on Satur day nest, from the Duke of PORTLAND'S seat, Cheer ley Park.

All her property, the annual income of which amounts to a million of piastres, devolves on the Grand Seignior. A Letter from Sierra Leone, given in another column, after mentioning the unsuccessful issue of the African Expedition, of woich we gave • sum. mary on Tuesday, states, that the Slave Trade rages dreadfully at present on the coast, without any means existing to check it, and adds, what we think almost self-evident, that, where this trade is per mitted, no other can be carried on. We have no , doubt that Government keeps a cons rant eye on this' vile traffic, convinced of the absolute necessity of accomplishing its , complete annihilation; and in deed it is known that negociations for this end are now carrying on.with both Spain and Portugal t but iw the mesa time we ought certainly to have moo of war on the coast to enforce a due observance of those laws which are already in existence against this out. rage on ltensanity.
