(Signed) ELGIN. The following answer was received from Sir Alexander Hope, by Lord F.lgin Hopetoun House, 17th Sept. 1825. My DEAR barb- -- When I did myself the honour to ac knowledge the receipt of your Lordship's letter, on the evening of Saturday last., I was not prepared to reply to the . minute of the Royal Company of Archers, which it contained. I have now: - to convey to your Lordship, and to the Council from which this minute proceeded, the warmest thanks'of Lord Ilopetoun's family, for their.offer to accompany his remains to the grave. This public testimony to Lord Hopetoun's character, pro. ceeding front so diatinguished.a body, is felt by his Lordship's family as conferring the highest honour upon his memory, and is acknowledged by them witli.t.he deepest 'sense. of gratitude. But when it is considered, that the Arrival of the . Ship of war, conveying these lamented remains, is uncertain, and that the of their regard, that a preparations for a public funeral, it made, must be kept in sus pense, at the residence which is occupied by his widow and her children, it is submitted to the considerate and kind feeling's of thoae, who offer this distinguished mark g or respect end re. strictly private funeral is more consonant to the present state of affliction which pervades Lord Hopetoun'a family. It is under these circumstances which, I trust, will be ap preciated by your Lordibip and the RoYal.

FitEE TOWN, AUG, 30.—SensibleOf the gene ral interest which the present state of affairs on the Gold Coast must excite in this Colony, we have, in another part of our Paper, given copious extracts front the Gazette published at that station. The difference with the King of Ashantee, it appears, is not in a train of reconciliation ; and our friends there are fully en gaged in prosecuting the war which was forced upon his Excel lency the Captain-9eneral and Governor ? in,citict, by the horrid murder of a serjeant in the British service., Vigorous measures have been adopted, which reflect great credit upon tbejudgment anddecision of Major Chisholm. A large force of regitiars, and allies has been mustered, and placed under thecommand of Capt. C. Lairik, who, in harrassing the enemy end counteracting the insidious designs of pretended neutrals, has displayed , his activity, zeal, and gallantry, in a striking light. On'the 4th of June, information was received that a party of NOD Ashanteea, had made their appearance in the Fatitte country, and on the 11th Captain Laing proceeded ta Meet there; but the report of his advance induced them to re-cross the Pra (Iloseinpra), and return to Commassie. Captain Laing then directed his atten tion to a Chief named Appia, the only Fantee of any note who had refused to join the coalition, and having succeeded in bring. log that Chief to his senses, he joined the army with l'4oo well appointed men. In a few days after, Captain Laing made a movement upon AjumacoM,the capital of ApPia's country, and there made dispositions for attacking Quashie Arnuntinalt, who declared for the King of Ashantee, and had posted hiinself there to watch over Appia and prevent any vaccillatioa ; he, however, dared not risk an engagement, btit fled to the banks of the Pra, where he has since rentlined. Captain Laing or: tiered Essecooma to be laid waste, and returned to Cape Coast nftee an absence of three weeks. The people of 'Elating, a Dutch fort situated about nine miles front Cape Coast, have always been considered as strict Allies, of the Meg of Ashentee ;'.they, have so often injured, end are so generally disliked by their neighbours, that their - only protection for some years pest has been the power of the Aithiuttees. Captain Citing visited them no less than seven times, in order to learn what part they would take iu the war, but could only obtain for a long time evasive answers ; in the. interim; the Warsaw people stopped the path and prevented their intercourse With the Aihantees, and the Captaiu having • visited Affetoo to concert measures for meeting the enemy, so 'much alarmed them, that they appointed a day to give an an,e; saver whether they would join the British or not. it should be remarked that the Elminas do riot acknowledge the authority of the Dutch eon the contrary, they publicly denied it in. the hall of thai,tbete On Monday the 20th ult., intelligence reached , Cape COast that a body of Ashantees had come into the Fantee country; with positive commands from the King to three a passage tee Elmina, and Capt, Laing received orders from Major Chisholm to march against them ; having learned that they were making their way towards Douquah, Capt. Laing proceeded thither, and took up a position. Donquah, the scene of the atrocious 'murder of the Serjeant, could not fail to be interesting to all, and we are informed thatmany a time the valiant soldiers swore to avenge his death. Finding there was no immediate attack to be apprehended, Capt. Laing set out fur Elmina, where his arrival touch surprised the inhabitants, who were consoling then - what that he had too much business on hand to think of them, or their promise; all however, he =tidal) tain was an engagement of strict neutrality, that if any party of A ehatitees should find their way to Elmina, they would order them off; and if they refused corn pliance, the Elminas would compel them to fro by force of arms--ell of which was guaranteed by the acting Governor. On the pith of June, Captain Laing had again joined the .forces at Donquelt, and found that the Ashanti:es,. in greet. strength; accompanied by the Assims, were cutting a now path towards Aponassle, a town in the rear of Elmina,; and we understand it was his intention to move art a parallel with them, and give them battle whenever they *hewed themselves; thus it is pro bable before this a general action may have taken place; and we are fay confident, those slaves of a blood-thirsty despot will have cause to repent their temerity, Sinciewroing the above, we have received from 4 friend ac counts of Captain Laing, being on the 11th instant in camp at Yancornassia. near Mensue (die latter place, we believe, is about 211 miles heYond nomptalt), that the Athanteett, finding the measures to oppose them were rather rethiubled than re. laxed,..were afraid to advance in their pr ant force, and, in con sequence 'mule a retrograde movement. and sent to Commassie for reinforcements. Captain Laing's intention was to follow them tip, and either have a intuit) or oblige„ them to rectos' the Pra. In closing this artiele, we cannot withhold our opinion that, the Aathantee force has been exaggerattal t and that they expect. ed, by the terror of their name, to have effected wonders, and to reach. Elmina. That day is gone by, when an insecure peace was purchased by large presenta from the fort, and heavy exec dons in gold from the oppressed people llving under its pro tection. When tranquillity shall be reatored--and we trust the time is not distant—and. the benign influence of the liberal policy of Ilia Excellency shall be more generally tliffused the name of O'Saii Tootoo gamine, no burger the terror of old and l'oung, will quietly sink into oblivion' and the extension of Christianity and civilisatioe will be an effectual check against time assumptions of any future tyrant. . Last Solidity Sir Charles Mac Carthy, accompanied by the `Principal Medical Officer, visited the town' of Kisaey and Wel lington. After passing the first stone bridge on the Kinsey Road, the extensive gardens form an interesting spectecle, tuna. merited with the choicest gifts of Fiera, and alibrding in endless :variety of useful vegetables. • 'l'he road is now well cemented, and contrary to manymelancholy foreboeinge, has withstood the mountain i torrents n some p4ces the drains are slightly fin paired, bat a few fine days will obviate ibis trifling inconveni ence, and the thoroughfare to .Kisitey will not yield in Compari son to any one in the British Colonies. We earnestly entreat the admirers of picturesque scenery to visit the water-fall on the Kinsey rued, which now forme a most romantic spectiele : the hi h•mountainsrising from the hanks of the stream give a finish to the scene, whilst the extensive tracts of eultivation triumphantly contradict those who are weak, or wilfulenough to assert, that all, all is barren" in a land, where nature pours out her stores watt an unsparing hand to all those who Industriously seek her blessings. After pasiting the Cataract., the road leads through a highly cultivated chain— spain, which yields an abundanceof rice, cassada, ground-nuta, .and militias , vegetables. On approaching Kissey, the land % appears more devoted to pasturage, and the great increase of .flocks and herds must absolutely astonish those who knew the suite of the Colony a few years ago. Kissey, during the last year, has been much improved; new streets have been formed; new gardens established, and bun• dreds of new fates enliven the scene. His Excellency remitted for a considerable time at the Rec tory, and appeared highly gratified with the numerous improve ments in the vicinity : Many of our readers may recollect the dangerous ravine which formed an almost insuperable bar to the communication with the district of Wallington, By the un wearied and patriotic exertions of the Rev. ,Mr. Nitylentler, au . .excellent _carriage road hits been formed, and substantial stone arch has been thrown across the chasm. ihwful and ornamental, the bridge may be considered as one of the master-pieces of Sierra Leone architecture. The road thence runs through a delightful country, the Boil- - of which being purely alluvial, affords an ample field for agricultural improvements. Welling. ton is partly hid by a cluster of elegant 'palm-trees, and the traveller find* hinteelf, twee/ere*, in a clean and well-regulated town. This town was formed .in the .first institute by discharged', soldiers; some-uPprehenitions were then entertained that the unsettled habite ot a military life would Produce serious in. quietude ins► new establishment; the reverse. however, has been the resutt ; they appear happy and industrious. The day being far advanced, his Excellerky could not avail himself of the hospitable preparations made for him at 'Welling. tuns. and returning to.Klssey, Was accompanied by a consider. able number of the inhabitants.
