4 r 10" VINDiCTIVE WAR IN AFRICA. It has been already totted. that a very destrionive • war had broken out in Africa, which threatened, at one time, the deatrunion of the ltrithh es•ablith anents on that roast; we have been fasowred %riot the following ietiresting details of its causes and erred's; which we lay before our readers : 6 * The Assin country borders on that of As. banter, and is divided into two states; the one go. vented by King Chem° and Quacoe Apoutay„ and the other by King Amu Apoutay, alihou;.;h not elevated to the dignity of Kino, holds equal sway with Chebno; hut these are all subordinate to the King of Ashantee, a man of a capacious mind, and of uncommon bravery. It is the custom of the country, when an opulent man dies, to inter with him a considerable past of his treasure, which oc curred in the cast of n rich man who died in Amnon town. On this occasion, one of the Cheboo people was present, saw what was done, watched an opportunity to rob the grave, and escaped with the treasure. Amon, his neighbour, sought redress of Cheboo and Quacoe Apoutay, but without success. He then laid the affair before the King of Ashantee, who summoned all the parties before him, gave them an impartial hearing, and awarded in favour of Amon. Quacoe Apoutay was detained as a hos tage, till resiiiution should he made. The hostage, in a short time, contrived to effetT his escape, and, when at liberty, refitted to accede to the award made by the King of Ashantee. On this, Amon at tacked the town in which Cheboo and Quacoe Apoutay resided, and routed his opponents.— After this. at the instigation of the King of As hantee, the parties met to settle the dispute; bat Quscoe Apoutay, tinting treacherously on the oc casion, sent privately to Cheboo for an armed force to support him, and a Hale was dee consequence, which ensned in the death of the man who com mitted the theft, and the total defeat of Qoacoe Apoutay and his truces. •" At this crisis, the King of Ashantee, willing to bring about a peace, again interfered. He sent two gold manilas, the one to Amon, and the other I to his adversary, direning them to cease all hostili ties, to which both parties agreed, and took the manillas. Anion obeyed the King, but Quito* Apoutay attacked Amon, and drove him in turn frees his town. Amon, indignant at the repeated deceptions of Apoutay, obtained succours. and overthrew his treacherous opponent. Tae King of Ashantee, still anxious to reconcile his neighbours, and unwilling to draw his sword, presented Anion with two gild swords and an axe, and recom mended him to conciliate Quacoe Apoutay, and terminate their quarrels. Anson consented to obey the King, but in the mean time was again at tacked by his implacable foe, was totally defeased, apd lost in the contest the golden swords and hatch et. His opponent committed ravages wherever be came, killing messengers, and every man that fell into his hands, cot sparing even the King of Ashan. tee's mesAengers. The consequence was, a war with the King of tkohantee. Quacoe Apoutay and Cheboo, dreading his vengeance, fled to the Fantee country; in consequence of which the King dis patched a message w Amu's, the Caboeeer or Mtyor, accompanied by a present of twenty ounces of wild, stating the necessity of his pursuing his enemies to the Fantee country. bar giving assurances of his pacific disposition to the Fante-s, arid that hi; only cbjen was to get into his possession Chehnn Itud . Apm.itAy. The tiarttees would not interfere, nor allot:. C.e Ashantee forces to come into the Fee "re cminfry. Upon this answer. Appoy Dongtta, tlic'f. erg tif Ashantee's Captain, collet-4 by the coon:nand of his master, a large force, at d gave the canny lad,. at Bvinka, in F_ntee. lie displayed great gellityttry, anti defeated the two Kings, in con- „filiation Amish the noose forces who Lad joined I them. Nat day, Cheboo and A . onqtey, having eintiearth.ir troops and fetined a sunflion with a, firth Foots* force, gave ate .King of Ashantee Mae; but were totally defeated. with an: loss of Many killed nod made prisoners ; among the latter Was .Atio, the Canoceer of _Abrals, the principal towa of Tante,. A large ransom was acted for hag, but refused • and he was committ e d t o th e ctn. of .kcc u m, ;he Caboceer of Assecomah, in whom the King bad great confidince ; but this per son betrayed his mist and liberated the enemy. ei Quinine Apoutay, Is-filed at all points, sent to . t6e Yin of Ashantee t o acce p t hi s conditions, pro vided be would dischato,,e his debts on his return Ucte. To this proposal the Kind agreed, awl, in token of his friendship, sent various presents to Che bis and Apoutay, who, instead of receiving them with gratitude, beheaded the messengers. Phis wicked and unprovoked act roused the indignation of the King of Ashantee, and he vowed eternal war against the aggressors. Accom, the Caboceer, who had been forgiven by the King for his treachery in suffering Atio to escare, l-eing in poisesseioir of a large quantity of provisions, was applied to by the King of Ashantee for a supply, which he with oceming cheerhoness granted. Six times he deli- vered faithfully those that were contracted for, bat the seventh time he betrayed a thousand men who had been sent for them, and either killed or sold them. Accom, rf course, became involved in the war. Very shortly the King rf A hantee defeated him, and made rapid progress with his army to the part of the coast where the British were in gar. rison. The Braffoen a set of desperate plunderers, were neatly extirpated by the Ashontees on their way. Chehoo and A poutay were now the King's main (Mein ' • he was bent up on t h e i r capture or destruc tion. Every town or place, where refuge had been afforded them, was destroyed. At length the fu gitives were driven to the sea-shore. The Anna maboesi instigated by the remaining Braffues ' were imprudent enough to rece i ve an d pronta them. This proved fetal to them ; their property and their towns were pillaged and destroyed. At this period the English, hying under some alarm, were desire is to send a Bag of truce to the King of Ashantee. who was then at Abrah. to le.en his motive for march ir gto the coast, and also to offer their mediation to settle all shE -.tees between him and his enemies. The Anna:ll4ll , es, who were consulted on the be. si•,ess, ob,etted to the measure. Alter the betas of Annamatow, the /Vagina fled to Cape Castle, wnich sv is ere-uotea by an Engiidi garrionto wish the re mains of their fi no.. of five hundred des of the town pro- 'tested thesis, against all the remonstrances of our people, who saw tie danger of harbouring : them. It was in vain that they represented that the town would inevitably till, and certain ruin would befal the inhabitants. As the conquerors approached, the town became alarmed, and five thousand women, for humanity sake, were Admitted into the garrisOn. Again the people were called upon to avoid the pending danger, and seize the Assins ; they Were, in fag, afraid of these desperate men, and dared not make the attempt. All eyes Were now direCted t the English. who were looked up to for proteaion. Mr. Torrane was resolved to attempt something, and he went into the ma), from the garrison. ac companied by Surgeon Fitzgerald. They shortly I after met Cheboo, with about eight or ten attend- I ants. with loaded muskets. There was no time to be lost. They rushed upon him, and being observ ed from the Castle, a serjeant and two men came to their assistance, and Cheboo wa, made prisoner. By the boldness of the ad, Cheboo's people ap peared panicatrusk ; and offered but trifling re sistance. 64 Mr. Torrane now hoped to capture Quacoe A pou tay. and, by presenting him and his colleague as a peace-Afering to the King of Ashantee, to be able to conciliate all parties. As it was known he re sided at the outskirts of the town, and was attended by about 60 armed men, Mr. Torrane took with him about 40 fine fellows, on whom be had great reli. lance; they fell in with the Chief's party, and charged them with the bayonet, and took half of them pri soners; but, after all, unfortunately they massed their objelt ; for it turnad out that Quacoe Apoutay 411 removed Ms quarters. Gaining intelligence, however. that be was not far Irons the town, Mr. T. went in search of him. with his little band ; fell is with him, accompanied by 100 men, who de fended him stoutly, and the British party were de feated. It is to be observed, that halt of the party had been sent away with the prisoners. In t' is rencontre two men were killed. Queen/ A poutay, dreading another attack from the E ghat, thought proper to make his escape. Learning that the King of Ashantee had arrived with his forces before Annamehne. an English gig , of flue* was sent to him. advising the capture of Cheboo. This mes sage changed the face of every thing. Thirteen hundred weaves, who had sought security in Annamalmeloit, were suffered to be removed to ' the Cape. 6' Mr. Torriunteinmunicated to the King. that provided he remind cause all the dead bodies which he understood were under the walls of Annamaboe fort, to benmoved, be venuainmsediately give him a meeting, for the purpoie at accommodating all differences with the English, which had unforiu. nately arisen out of the sdispedes of others. The King was highly pleased at the proposal, sad more so at the capture of Chabot,. Accordingly, on the 23J of Jule. Mr. T. set off, and on the fulloviing day. he sent an officer and a lunquish, with predints and refreshments to the King, and shortly after, met him in anopsa plat-. he being averse to tome into the fort. and fir. 'I . being unwilling to con cede tle of eticadte by waiting upon him. The King spoke much of the loss he had sustained by the fire kept up from the fort, and espressed, in wady nuns, his sorrow for the loss we had expe rienced. Mr. Tee- , ^e ,mented, that after the 0-•1- , INe net '• . .u, had been given from the fort, Ise anon's; rave suffered his troops to come within range of the shot. It was now arranged, that in future the King should avoid parsing through any town where English garri,ons were, provided eat the inhabitants of such towns were not in arms aginst him. 6 4 At this time no regular treaty could be entered into with the King, as his presence was wanted else where. Tire Fantees had c..ileeted again in great force to leeward of Catmantyne, and the King went to give them battle. 1.-1! met them, And the Er.g lisn witnessed she contest. 'lle Ashantees were vitiations. Aft -r battle, the kea:li was strewed pith thousands of dead bodies, ACC6TO, who was the chief objea of pursuit, was with the Fantee ar• my. It is expeitted, it the King gets bins into his possession, the war will cease. The King of Ashantee has tuck.. Kings it. his train, all men of power they fight with muskets, bows, and ar rows. Had the messenger not arrived with the flag of truce when he did, orders would have been given to storm the tort. A plan was formed for cutting the gates, and an commons quantity of gun powder was about to be put under the walk. The King is stria to his word, and in every sense of the word an honourable man s he possesses the utmost coolness sad intrepidity ; of Middling stature, re ' rnarkably well built. and of a handsome and open countenance. Ir.dced, all the Ashantecs are half a century at least advanced in civilization, compared with their neighbours or the surrounding nations. They have a great deal of the Moorish cast in them. sr M r . Tw ang received the following account of what happened at Ailnaluaboe Faits whilst the Athenian were before it l— es The King of Ashantee, whilst on his way to the coast, was apprised, that if his forces molested the town of Annamaboe, they would be fired upon; and it was endeavoured to impress upon their minds, by stealer demonstration, th e terrible sleds of the great pas. Net withstandi:g.they threatened the Fort; and minas IS, it was carried into *fell. The Ashantees took the town, and thee rushed under the very walls of the Morison, sierthlng for such towns-people as bad taken shelter Obit, The carnage was dreadful, beyond any thing eta witnessed; nearly two thou sand Asliantees fell by the fire from the Fort. This slaughter did not prevent them from attempting to force the gates. They fought with unexampled fury. The garrison consisted of Mr. White. Mr. biereab. Mr. Swaney, Mr. Baits's, Mr. Smith, and twenty-four soldiers. Company's slaves, and boys. Mr. White received_ two shots, one in his nsouth. and the other in his kik erns. Messrs. Me redith. Swaney, aad Baines, were slightly wounded. Tbegarrienn was deprived for a t i me o f M r . Wh it e 's genie's ; of the rest, some were wounded. and tome killed. Mr. Meredith succeeded to the command during the illness of Mr. White. The fire of the enemy at length became so hot, that the men could SD longer work their guns, the Ashantees picking off every man that appeared at an embra rut e. The garrison were obliged to resort to mesquetry, with which they did much execution. Forttinsiely, in title same of things, a reddorcentent was received from Cape Castle, under the commend of Capt. Gold, who embarked on board the Co'pop, Captain Coley, who cheerfully volunteered his service, and deserves the highest praise, from bis judicious ma nagement in landing the men. The King of Ashantee, it appeared afterwards, fad sent a flag of truce to the fort, through the me d•um of the Governor of Elmotia, and expressed his wish to come to an accommodation; but the L)utch Governor withheld the information. Appli cation WAS also made to the Dutch Governor nt Cormantyne Fort, to aid in settling the disputes amongst the naives ; but the only answer he re turned was, "1 that he did not understand English." " The latest advices from Cape Castle, state, that mach good may be derived from the interview be tween Mr. Torrane and the King of Ashantee ; for his last message imports, that as soon as he has avenged himself of his enemies, he will come to Annamaboe to arrange all points for the future wel fare of the country, and the regulation of trade.— This intercourse, if once securely established with the Ashantees, offers prospects of the highest ad vantage. Tbis people have ivory and gold in abundance, and the Fintees hitherto bare thrown all possible impediments in the way of any inter course between them and us, which they foresaw must prove desirable asd beneficial to Loth nations.' gains of their torero. cotl.oiting of abia. lire prwc.p.l ana liArdt INT?'
