Yesterday interesting dispatches were received from
Africa, and with them some Sierra Leone Gaiettes,
from one of which, published in March last, we make
the following extract :
TO THE EDITOR OP THE SIERRA LEONE GAZETTE.
Permit me to send you the fallowing facts for
yotir insertion, which will tend to shew in what man-
ner some of the natives of this Country, are disposed
to view the abolition of the Slave Trade.
Since the abolition of the Slave Trade was made
known in the neighbourhood of Goree, a quarrel took
place between the King of Darnel and the Maraboos;
after several skirmiskes the Maraboos drove them
back, and carried away with them from 500 to 1000
head of cattle, saying, that as there was no sale for
slaves, they would not take► their people, but that,
as cattle could be turned to advantage, they Would
take them.

" I had some conversation with a man who took
an active part against the King of DA24BL-: he as-
sured me that the natives in their neighbourhood had
no intention of. taking any more prisoners, as they
would not sell; but, that the idea that those who
might unavoidably be taken, would be put to death,
was quite erroneous.

MAMADOO SAANI, a powerful and intelligent.
Chief on the river Gambia, told me that he regretted
the abolition himself, as being the means of depriv-
ing him of some considerable emoluments, but that
he believed, generally speaking, it would be of great
service to the country. One very strong reason he
gave was, that the want of confidence in each other,
occasioned by the fear of kidnapping, or other-
wise making slaves, obliged the natives to be con-
stantly armed, and every man to suspect his brother;
but, since the abolition, their had already begun to
lay aside their guns when they went out ; and he had
no doubt, but in a short time, they would clear away
the woods from about their towns that were then
built; and that, in building new ones, they would
have them in more exposed situations, and that he
himself had altered his mind as to the place he had
Chosen to build a town in, determining to build it
now on the banks of the river, and cut down all the
woods near him; and that he intended, as he knew
many other natives did, to attend as mush as possi-
ble to cultivation, particularly cotton, which grows
there in great abundance:"

The 2d .battaliod of the 4th, be. King's own, Lord

In order to complete the 2d battalions of those regi-
ments in Ireland that are deficient of men, an imme-
diate volunteering from ttie Irish Militia is to rake

men to our regular forces.

DUBLIN, AUGUST 2.—Tne follow•irg is said to be

at the Curr*gh shall hare arrived at their several can-

Lientenint General WrtrwAsto Clonmel
Major General WA Ur IL Wa.erford
Major General Pare . .. Wexford
Brigadier General HAMILTON Kilkenny
Brigadier General CAM Clonmel.
Friday morning, at five o'clock, the camp in the
Phcenix Park broke up, and the two regiments of mi-
litia, the South Down and the Wicklow, marched to'
country cantonments.
The camp at the Curragh has also been broken up.
The 31st regiment of foot are undetordersto march
from this city in three divisions. The firs: ..et off
this morning, the second proceed on Thursday, and
the last on Friday ; they are to match first to ter.
moy, where they are to occupy the barracks in that
place, and remain until transports arrive to bring
them on the expedition forming- at Cork. They are
a fine body of men, mostly volunteers from the Irish
militia; and there is no doubt but when Cie:" are
brought to action, they will I.ot be inferior in valour
to any troops whatever.
Yesterday, Sir DAVID BAIRD arrived in town from
the Curragh.
The 19th Light Dragoons are at present quartered'
at Northampton.
