SLAVE TRADE. •
T'onTshtovr:t, At'o. 3.—On Wednesday morning we were
surprised aid; the saw novel circumstance of the arrival of b
,French brig, or 21.1 tons, culled the riyiliotis; its a prize, she
Living Items captured, aitlt several others, in the act of slave
trading (having 213 on board), on the 15th of April last,in the
giver Bonny (northogrd of the Lelhe), by the boats of Isis Ma-
jesty's ships Iphigenin and Myrmidon, maimed with *boot 110
.stamen, and commended bY Lieut. G. Wm. St: John Mildmar,
cier a most severe contest, in which two seamen were
and seven were wounded. It is not known how many of the
c!sv es suffered in this vessel, as they jumped overboard and
were destroyed by the sharks ; and, mixing with the skives in
the hold, after our seamen were in possession of Oil upper deck.
,several slaves were also killed. Oue poor girl about tea years
of age, had both her legs amputated, and w4ll doing well. This
'vessel, with six others, formed slittle slate trading squadron,
which was discovered by the boats despatched by Sir R. Mends
to reconnoitre the river Donny., moored across the stream of Ilse
river: with springs on their cables, all armed, with apparently
nhodt 3.10 mutest on board, and perfectly prepared to resist the
approaoh of boarders. Lieut. Alildmay pushed tin with his
twat*, and as they got within range of slavers, they all
opened a heavy tire of ea:mister and grape shut and musketry ;
bat as nothing could withstand the coolness and ussilnunted
courage of our seamen, all the vessels were cutout in their pos-

bCS:4•II j their defenders, on being hoarded, many of them ran
below. and where *lilted ()seaward. '1 he veesels proved to
.11.1 as follows : French hrig I'4o/ante, 210 tons, tour gone,
thirty men, 313 shave; Preneb brig Petite B toy, 144 tons,
lout guns, 25 uteri, 215 slaves ; French brigantine L'Unsisfe,
101 tons, four guns, twenty-seven men, 241 shires; Spanish
.sellooner lennum, 300 tons, ten guns, fitly-hire men, 350 slaves,
SpauLli echooner B.Tlat, 130 topic, nitre guns, forty-live men,
3)0 slaves; and anetiter brig which took part in the action, but
she bad no cargo in. The state of the unhappy sieves on hoard
these vessels it is impossible to describe ; some were linked in
shackles be the lea, in pairs ; some of them were bouud iu
cords ; mud tunny of them had their arms so lecerated that the
'flesh was completely eaten t' rough'. Another of the inhuninn
practices of their purchasers is to Hog them until they dance and
eat, as an ttoii4atie to dejection and despair, as under these
feelings they i.en throw themselves ot et:Beard in pairs! V. hat
individual is there, with a heart in ally degree susceptible at
human feelings, but must pray for the extinction of tine Rimini-
table traffic, and nieern for the in nutty done by Christi/seized
Luropeaus in that kand or misery and woe—Africa ? The fiend-
like cruelty of these hateful alive-traders was difeovered, and
frustrated ere its design took effect, on board one of
the captured vessels, which the slavers, on the attack being
readeoleecrted, placing a lighted match in the magazine, iu
which were several ban els of gnimitettler, in limo hope, no doubt,
brag so Poem as our men had boarded; the vessel would blow
up with them, and the 300 slaves who were chained together in
"roe hold. Providentially, one of the men discos eyed it, very
coolly put Iria hat under it, and carried it safely on deck. We
regret very much to state, that ou the passage of the prizes
front the Bonny riser to Sierra Leone, the fine schooner leanans,
with 500 slaves on board, and 23 seamen, upset in a tornado,
and all in her perished, excepting eight seamen, who wire
picked up live days afterward by the ,Mlfsrieithot, in a Stale of
derengeutent, ft net want of focal. 711essre. Ratty and Bonin, ,
ruidelopmen, perished in ;tn.. The number of *lest a liberated
by the capture of these vessels was IS/6, about 200 or whom
died on the passage to Siena Leone ; the others (excepting
those lost in the selloner) were landed at that place. Lieut.
litildmay came home in charge of the l'i9ifnate, and on landing
s oft for the Admiralty with despatches for the Admiralty,
with despatches front .Commodore Sir Robert Mends. 'flue
Driver, 18, Capt. Wolrige, and Hann, 20, Captain Phillips, bad
arriaed out Irma Portsmouth. Sir Robert 31ends intended to
sail far England shortly iu the/midge/tc'.

Mr. Fellowes, Lord Gwydr's Secretary, left town

early yesterday morning by the Lord Melville Seam
.Packet, on a tour to the Continent, through France
A respectable merchant in the city has received a
I.t.er from Vienna, dated the 24th of July, which
contains news in every resrect favourable to the
.se r f the Greeks, and which consequently is
highly satisfactory to all who take an interest in
that deeply injured nation. In addition to a con-
lirmation of the capture of the Castle .of Athens,
these advices communicate the important inform-
tien that the Christians had carried Arta by storm,
Lot that many of their ablest officers had tidlen in
the assault. On), three fortresses now of any im-
portance, in the Morea, remain in the possession of
the Turks, vis. Modon, Coron, and Patras. The
whOle of them had been treating for a surrender, on
the arrte terms as had been sorted to the garris)n
tt Napoli di Romania; but the Greeks having re-
( .ived an account of the destruction of the Capitan
Peeha, and conceiving themselves thereby made
masters of the sea, the Senate had refused to grant
to these cities the same lenient terms which might
I:,Ne been obtained befiire their naval victory was
made public. This event had filled all the inha-
Iltants of Ancient Greece with the greatest joy, and
1. al added confidence to them of finally succeeding in
their splendid efforts to effect the liberation of their

country.
