Earl Batinirst has this day received from Sierra Leone Des-
patches, which have been addressed to his Lordship by the late
Major-General Turner, under date of the 2d and of March
last, and of which the following are extracts:—

Sierra Leone, March 2, 1826.
In my list despatch I had the honour to state to yolir Lordship
that I was on the eve of proceeding to the Shethro' country,
for the purpose of consolidating those arrangements for the
abolition of the slave-trade` Which had enters"' into with the
Kings and Native :Chiefs. On the next 7th February, 1
sailed in his Majesty's Colonial Prig' Susan, aecoMpanied by the
brigantine .E/eonore,. and the Siciftcutter,- with, a detachment of
troops, consisting of 110 Europeans and 40 Natives. There being
but six regimental officers at Sierra Leone, with' 1100 men, none
could be spared; and my Aide-cle-Carop, Capiain Ross; having
recently died, there way but Lieutenant' Robertson, Acting Major
of Brigade, who could accompany cue, excepting Staff-Surgeon
Stewart,. as 3ledical Officer. Alr. INlacituicy and Mr. Rendall,
both Member of the Council, 'hail again the kindness to give me
the benefit of their assistance.
On my arrival in' the Slicrion", I discovered that the greitt
slave dealers who had retired from the SherbrO" and Sea liar,
on signing the Convention prohibiting the exportation of slaves,
had joined with those Of the Oallinas; mid bail come to the re-
ifelution of re-establishing the slave trade by arm even in the
iliatrieti where it had been voluntarily given up by the Native
Chiefi and 'wre there assettibted in fora, up the Boom river,
Iseiaing our people, anti putting at. defiant* our power anti our
nights.. These slave-dealers are all:mulattoes, thscendants of the
lEuropean's,atiatigers to the soil, and I grieve to say, men generally
' educated in England. Their education gives them greet supe-
riority, anci.their'ufealth power.
My forte weir not of a nature, under ordinary circumstances,
to jtistify my'untiertaking a difficult service up thee! rivers,, but ,
as the Native' Chiefs were wavering, and a great' Cage of }Az-
inanity at issue, I determined upon a rapid advance ariti, attack
of these people. Captain. Owen, Royal Noy, employed 1.,„,„
the Surveying service, with the -Leven frigate, and Albaerois
schooner, happening to be surveying, these rivers at the time, ,
thought it my duty to communicate With liitn with a view to
certain whether he could, consistently with his instructions, to;
operate with me for a few days, which he very kindly and cm.-
dialiy consented to do:

The ,teven, the ---,97;50,1,. and the ,Ekanorcdrew too much
water to enter the rivers ; but, by taking every thing out of the
pi
dlibatroiti and' Ski'', we contrived to get them over the bar ;
and with then;` our different boat*, FA four largenoes, Svc
proceeded up the, liooin river on February loth. Captain Owen
appointed .Lieutenant Ilihtig•e; first of the .Levert, anti 'two 111ift-
shipmett two, boast. tied their crews, to accompany me in
the 'Swift; :whilst 'he 'embarked in the AlMtrolo, Com-
manded. by Lieutenant 'Owen, Hoye' Navy. The tlitlieulty Of
