Captured and boarded by the boats of his Majesty's ship Owen
Glendower, Commodore Sir Robert Merida, from May to Au-
gust, 1023 :
No. 1. A Spanish schooner captured In June, at Old Calabar,
with 57 slaves on board, waiting for 100 more.
2. A Spanish schooner under French colours, captured on the 3d
July, at new Calabar, with 100 slaves on board.
3. A French brig boarded at Bonny, trading for ivory, but also
Sued for slaves.

4. Schomer, ditto, ditto.
b. A Spanish schooner, boarded off Bonny, had no slaves on
board.

A Portuguese brig was seen at C,abenda with 200 slaves on board,
waiting for as many more ; and a Spanish schooner, also with
slaves on beard, escaped from the boats at Losing°.
The above memoranda of vends captured and boarded by his
Majesty's ship Owen Glendower, when compared with the de-
tails which we have, from time to time, felt it our duty to publish,
spew an evident decrease in the traffic in slaves on that line of
coast.
