with great bravery, which lasted more than an hour, when a
pause ensued, in consequence of the left of the British right-ceutre
brigade giving way► and nearly the whole of the right wing.—

This was a critical moment. Therefore, as soon as the centre
reserve (composed of the Royal African Corps) became unco-
vered by the flight of the refugees, Colonel Punier' opened a
destructive fire ou the Ashantees of rockets, grape, and ca-

ulster, which did amazing execution. Perceiving that the
Ashanters were panic struck, and in the utmost confusion,
Colonel Purdon moved forward to the attack with every man
he! hid, and cut through the enemy's centret.. Tbey gttve way, in
all directions, and the victory was no longer doubtful. Accatoo,
Kin of Aquimboo, who commanded a strong corps of observation
on the extreme right, bravely and accurately obeyed the orders he
had received to.bring up his right shoulders the moment he should
hear the report of the British guns, and attack theiMbantees on
the left flank. This simultaneous movement with the t6r.eeS im-

mediately under the directions of Colonel Purdon had the desired
effect, and decided the fate of the battle. Ilakthe whole of the
allied forces acted in a similar manner, neither the King of the
Ashantees, nor any part of his army, would have escaped. But
it is extremely difficult to prevail upon such a race of people to act
upon a systematic plan of operation, if it be at variance with their
own notions. The cause of their flight is attributed to this cir-
cumstance ; in disobedience of orders, they broke froni the line
formed, and rushed into the contest in the most savage manner,
without any reserve to support them, or prudence to guide, in
case of mishap or difficulty. The loss of the Ashantees in killed,
wounded, and prisoners, was estimated at least at 5,000 men.—
Many of the Ashantee Princes and Generals were killed and taken.
Our loSs is about 800 killed, and 2,000 wounded. The whole of
the camp equipage, of great value, fell into the hands of some of
the least deserving of the allied forces, amongst which were, the
golden umbrella of state, the golden stool of state, and gold dust,
ivory, and other valuables to a large amount. Adononaqua, King
I of Aquapim, recovered the head of the late Sir Charles McCarthy,
which was considered by the Ashantees as their greatest charm or
fetish. The King refused to give it up. It is enveloped in two
folds of paper, covered with Arabic characters, tied up a third
time in a silk handkerchief, and lastly sewed up in a leopard's
skin.
It should be mentioned that the merchants of the colony Quo-
teered their services in the field, and gave to the gallant com
mandant of the troops all the assistance it was in their power to
bestow. • • •

No =count had been received from Captain Clapprton since
his arrival' at Eyo or Kallamga, on the 4th of March. The
letter was addressed to the traveller, Mr. Houston, at Accra,
who having died a short time before, it was opened by his ser-
vant. Captain Clapperton was quite well, and intended to pro,
ceed further on the following day.
The Lively left Spithead on the 20th of July ; landed Sir Neil
'Campbell and staff at Sierra Leone on the 26th of August; whence
they embarked, shortly after, in the Lively,, and proceeded to
Cape Coast, where they landed .on the 22d of September. Sir
Neil's next intended visit was to Accra. The Lively sailed from
Cape Coast on the day she landed Sir• Neil Campbell there,
with duplicity despatches of the action which bad been fought
with the Ashantees, the originals having been sent away sixteen
days previously in a brig, which has nut yet arrived. The Lively
did not fall in with any of the ships of the African' squadron.
The NoriA Star arrived at sierra 'Leone 'on the 28th of August,
to relieve the Brazen. Commodore l3ullen left Ascension
on
the 29th of August (where he had been during the rainy season);
arrived at Accra out the ,16th of September, and failed oa the 18th
ma cruise. Tl►e squadron was free from sickness ; but we re-
gret to hear that the officers and troops at Sierra Leone were very
sickly. rFourteen officers, and upwards of 00 soldiers, had died
there within two months. At the Gold Coast also they had euf-
feted severely from fever. Mrs. Morgan (widoW of one of the
deceased officers) came passenger in the Lively. Lieutenant Mor
gen; Of the navy, and Mr. Toltec Williams, employed on one of the
commissions on the coast,. were among the late deaths.
We learn by the 'Lively of a gallant affair of the tender of the
Maidettm, with only 25 men on board, in having captured a very
fine brig, with 596 slaves on board, and a crew of 60 men, mount-
ing eight .14« pounders carromules, and one long 24-pounder on a
pivot ; she chased her for ten hours, and was closely engaged for
MO hours, when she.carried her by Warding, without loss ou our
tide egcept the lieutenant being seriously wounded ; 'the Brazilian@
knit ten men killed and' ten wounded. •

We have received the Paris Papers of Thursday am
Friday; and the Etale of Saturday morning;; the:

contain nothing important.
The Etoile contradicts the assertions of the other
Journals with respect to the approaching departure of
a number of French Consuls for the different' South
American States, end, again endeavours to prove, that
the 'Agents' who have been despatched to Mexico anti
Colombia were presented merely as delegates of Hear-
Admiral DUPERRE, that they were Commercial
Agents only, and that they had no political character.
A draft of a law upon Trial by Jury has been sub-
mitted by the Kteeper.of the Seals for the examination
of the Council of State, and has received their unani-

'The trial of M. Ouvß,irtn is going on.before the
Tribunal of Correctional Police.

Amongst the foreign.news we find little to notice

The intelligence from Lisbon reaches down no later
than that which was previously received, viz. 25th ult.,
but it gives the sulistanee of despatches from General
DAUN, Minister of War in the
,Algarves, of a more
recent date than those before publ6hed. He had con-
certed measures to 'nevem the insurgents +effecting
their retreat into Spain ; but accounts from Madrid
mention that considerable numbers had reached Aya-
monte. The other provinces of Portugal are described
aS being tranquil. An extraordifiary mioion ,from
the Court of LisbOn to Rio de .Taneiro is spoken of,
the object of which is to induce the EMPEROR to
permit his dmighter, the young Queen of PORTUGAL,
to come to Portugal before the period before fixed
upon. The following area few extracts:—

Alanntn, .00T, 30.—According to official repoite from
General Quetatio; Captain..-General of Seville, the Junta of the
Government of insurgent* in the Algarve* arrived on the 29d at
Ayanionte, and was followed 11 eight hundred emigrants, as well
military as citizens.

dieorders which so considerable an emigration might occasion;
and likewise to watch over the conduct which the Portuguese
might observe on the Guadiana, if they attempted to pass that

river in pursuit of the deserters.
A report of General Equia, Captain-General of Gulicia, an-
nounces that some Portuguese soldiers had come into a Spanish
village, near Tuy, and that they had (mused some disorders, and
committed some excesses.
It appears► that the depots of, Portuguese refugees are going to
be•broken up, and that the deserters will be left at libel ty either
to return to Portugal, or to settle in Spain, as they shall think
proper.
An express had been sent to Seville to M. Arjorra, to recall
him to Madrid, where every body believes that he is to succeed
M. Calomarde, as Minister of Grace and Justice.

. New York Papers ,to the ,11th ult., Bostcn to the
14th, Philadelphia to the 13th, and 'Baltimore to the
11th, were received yesterday at the North and South,
American Coffee-house. They contain no 110"

the return of BOLIVAR to Bogota were premature.
Gen. LALLEMAND has published a distinct denial of
the statement made by the Greek Committee, that he
had received 12,000/. from them.
These Pipers contain also a report made by the

where a son, of his built a steam-vessel, which, from
some defects in the machinery, was scarcely able to

the appeal still remained to be discussed and decided.

Extract of a Letter from Lloyd'A'Agent at Smyrna,
dated the 4th OCtober, 1826 :

It is reported that his Majesty's ehip Medina, captured off Idra
and sent to Malta, the Themielooles, piratical, brig, completely
laden with plundered property, both Levant and European nier-
cliandile.
The Medina has on board a quantity of merchandise, taken
out of the Greek brig, at Napoli di Romania, by the Camlrrian
frigate, which latter ship will bring the remainder, consisting of
merchandise of all descriptions, plundered from' the English,
Austrian, and French vessels.

Meetings have been. held •in several places for th©
purpose. of petitioning Parliament. for an alteration of
the Corn Laws, and if meetings for this purpose have
hat. been so numerous as some expected, it is, we
sincerely believe, in consequence of there being so little
tlifi'erence in opinion on this subject through the
"'Oulu, and 'of the universal belief which exists, that
the 9tte4icmovill , be
.fairly entered upon, as soon as
Parliament commences business. The confidence
',felt that his Majesty's Ministers will propose to Par-
ham.,
such an alteration of the present Corn Im-
portation system as will place it on a sure basis, and
be practically beneficial to. all the'great interests of. the
c°llfitrY, has rendered it unnecessary to petition; and
We have every reason to believe that this confident ex-
pectation will not be disappointed. Some of the
country Papers in:partieular have asserted, " that there
" is a disposition in some of the .Ministere to give
" the Corn Laws the' go by ;"' but' we have the
best reasons for 'believing that no such dis-
P°llition exists ; and that even it' it did, the sUb-
Jvct could riot by postponed. The partial impor*
tenon, authorised by his MAJEsry's, Ministers on
their owii responsibility,. requires the-sanction, or will
receive the condemnation of Parliament; and it is
\\lolly impossible to separate this measure' from the
general question. = Besides, it will be recolleeted, that
11,1 the discussion, On the
last .Parliament,
proVision-
ally sanctioned by the' last .Parliament, the general
question Was left' untouched, upon'the distinct under-
-4,-,tan,ding, that one of the first measures of the new
runiament would be the consideration of. the' Corn
L "3. It is idle, therefore, 'to sup Pose, that hiS
j"l"es Ministers will, now flinch from that question,,
411 at a time, too, when the minds of nine-tenths of
the community are made up, that a thorough change
tthe present system is expedient, and necessary for
ne Public weal.. ' ' '

A sudden rise in the value of the Bonds of the
('reek-Government took place on Saturday afternoon,
ennsequenoe of a 'report that all the' Eidopean
-IYers had united to compel iurkey to recognise the
4ndeveudenee of Greece. We presume that this. re,
P°ll' must have originated in an article 'from Conotan4t►nuple, in ,
the Gazette Universelle, of Augsbtirgh,
which We find copied into 'the Quotidienne, stating
" that the envoys
of France, Austria, and Prussia,
