SILRILI LEONE.

The following is the most correct information we
have been able to collect respecting the quarrel be-
tween the Maudingoes of Port Logo and the Scar-
cies Timinunes. It has been a matter of some dif-
ficulty to-Kw:el-NM the truth. The Chief who was
supposed really to have instigated the attack, and
who chiefly profited by it, declared himself,
when asked in form, to he ignorant of the me-
rits of the case; his assistance had been re-
quired by Brumall Concurri, of Port Logo, and
without turther inquiry it was given." Brame'
Concurri, Wilk) is a Mending° of Mallienrri, and as-
phe. to be King of Port Logo, acknowledged him-
elf to be Head Witr-man;" !nevertheless the
quarrel was not his own ; his assistance had also
been demanded by another. It seems, that a man
named ofitolsullub, a town an the
Little &weirs river, had caught another man or
the *muse town, some time ago, and sold him us
a slave for a paucheon •o! rum. The pretence of
selling him l could rat learn ; but when the man's
brother came to ask the cause, Ka-firame-lil was no
far from giving turn satisfaction, that, in a formal
manner, he and his friends named the puncheon of
rune after the men that was soW, and telling the in..
qiiirer that liscre was his brother, invited him to
cool his anger by taking his ahem of him. This
insult so exasperated the man, that vowing to be
revenged, he lay in wait for Ka-limns-id in the
woods, and shot him, 'about the time of sowiliz rice
last rear. Ka-tirama-hl had a friend. whose name
was Since e. lunar) who determined to retaliate;
but, not helots powerful enough himself, he applied
to Brainah Concurri, gining to him the countsy to
which the murderer uslougccl, with sill its r,
as the reward:4w taking up his cause. Ctifah
called his Mending° friends to his aw.istance, of
whore DAIINtUetIO4 was chief; and about the end
of August war was made. I cannot 'Pump that any
satisfaction was prryniuYly demanded, or, in the
African phrase, that any palaver ea, tflotl..--

thus given at one vilfur, the most aciive people
made their escape from the rest, leaving few but
old people dui children. Nevertheless, said the
persons who bought most of the slaves, the other

stroyed four towns, and took about forty people,
which, as some of the Chiefs were lunch in debt to
~,sela in the river, was of great advantage to them.
That part of the country is still uninhabited, and
Br:until), of course, claims it as his own.
