THE ASHANTEES.
It appears that Sir Charles MgCarthy had, for several
weeks previous to taking the field against the Ashantees,
been incessantly occupied in making such arrangements
as afforded every reasonable hope that his expedition
would have had a very different result. He had formed
alliances with the Dinqueras, the Crepees, Assinces,l
Aquamboes, Wassas, and other native tribes, and had
received a visit at Cape Coast from the son of the King
of Dinquera, and, at Annamaboe, from Appea King of
Adjumacona, who entered the place in great state with
upwards of two thousand followers. The latest account
that had reached Cape Coast of Sir Charles's opera-
tions, previous to the unfortunate battle, was, that he
had occupied Assamacow, within two days' march of
the Ashantees, and that it was net his intention to at-
tack them until Major Chisholm, with his force, should
have succeeded in taking up a position in their rear.
The Bristol Gazette, on the authority of letters by
the Pitt, says, " There is every reason to believe that
Sir C. McCarthy was sacrificed after the battle, and his
head sent to the King of the Ashantees; and that Mr.
Williams was in the hands of the Datch Governor of
Elmina, as an hostage, on certain conditions."

PROM THE ROYAL COLD COAST GAZETTE.
CAPE COAST, JANUARY :11.

The general engagement between the troops under
his Excellency and the Ashantees (of which there was
a report as our last was going to the press), took place
on the 21st instant, about twenty miles from ASS3Ma-
COW, and from the number of wounded who have
come in, we are convinced that it must have been a
contest of the most desperate and sanguinary nature
—the Ashantees relying upon their numbers, and our
little Spartan band upon their resolu'ion, and the skill
of their distinguished Commander. We learn from the
wounded men, who all agree in their statements, that
the action commenced at one o'clock, teat. and the firing
lasted like one continued roar of thunder, till five; at
length the ammunition of our troops being expended,
the Ashantee myriads began to pour in upon then: horn
all directions, when several hundreds of them paid for
their temerity on the point of the bayonet : many of the
soldiers killed individually four or five of the Ashantees
in this manner, but the overwhelming fotce still kept
moving for ward like a mountain torrent, and a retreat I
was deemed expedient.
The loss of the Ashantees in this bloody conflict must
have been enormous; and though our troops were
obliged to retire, owing to the scantiness of their num-
bers and the want of ammunition, yet the Ashantees
have nothing to boast of, as they have not since dared
to advance, and being, according to report, much scat-
tered. The news of The action, and the powerful force
of the Ashantees, reached Captain Laing, at Pdansue,
on Saturday night, who inttantly decided upon return-
ing to the relief of his Excellency ; he therefore sent off',
me:sengers at day-light next morning, commanding
all the Fantee Chiefs to form a junction with him
instantly; and ordering the force under his immediate
command across the country to Djuquah, he repaired
to Annamaboe, placed it in a state of defence, and on
Monday evening arrived at Cape Coast Castle, with
the whole of the Annamahoe and Agar soldiers. Major
Chisholm, on getting intelligence of the battle, lost no
time in hastening to the assistance of the Brigadier
General, but learning that his Excellency had retired
with the King of Dinquera, towards the Appolonia,
and having too few men to force a passage through
the Ashantees, returned to Cape Coast on Tuesday, to
form a junction with the force under Captain Laing.
A most outrageous and unprovoked insult was of-
fered to Captain Woolcombe, commanding the Owen
Gle;ndrairer, and two of his Officer, on Sunday the 25th
instant, by the natives of Dutch Succondee. The offi-
cers bad gone on shore for the purpose of viewing the
plait, and in the expectation of hearing come account
of the action which they understood had been fought
between our troops andalre Ashantees, when they were
assailed by a large party of the natives, who pursued
them with drawn knives to their boats. The Captain
immediately went on board, and returned with a party
of marines—more that by alarming them they
might be in future deterred from offering such insults,
than for any other reason—but was much surprised to
find his landing opposed by a large armed force. He
nevertheless disembarked, and proceeded towards the
town, amidst a brisk discharge of musketry from the
natives, which was returned with ample interest by the
gallant marines. Captain Woolcombe attempted to set
fire to the town, but without effect, for the dampness of
the thatch, owing to the previous rains, prevented igni-
tion. In this skirmish, we regret to say, that two ma-
rines and a krooman were killed,besides several wounded.
Thursday night the Colonial schooner, Prince Regent,
returned from Dixcove: about one e.sr. being well in
with the land off Succondee, she was fired at by a large
assemblage of the natives, collected together on the
beach, at whom the Commander sent a discharge or
two of grape shot, the effects of which were clearly
seen by the fall of a number of those deluded fanatics.,
FEBRUARY 7.—A detachment of the Royal All lean
Light Infantry marched from Cape Coast Castle, under
command of Captain Laing, for Djuquah, on Thursday
last; he was followed next day by a small party of An-
namaboes and Fantees, amounting in all to about 400;
but as the greater part of those who promised to ac-
company him have returned to their own crams, we
do not expect that anything operative will be effected
or attempted by that Officer at present.

HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 18.
The LORD CHANCELLOR rose on the third reading of the
Bankrupt Lasts Amendment Bill, and observed, that the measure
had been under consideration three Sessions; and had been pre-
pared with all the attention he could apply. It had not only been
amended by himself, but by the Judges of the land. He was
anxious it should pass, but not immediately. By the law as it
stood, a creditor having a debt above £2O, who would not be one
of three-fourths of the creditors to sign the bankrupt's certificate,
was the means of preventing the bankrupt from supporting his
family. A clause had been introduced to empower the Commis-
sioners, when they were satisfied the bankrupt had done his duty,
to give him a certificate. This clause he wished .to take effect
forthwith; but with respect to the other provisions of the Bill, he
recommended the House not to give the same immediate operation.
He accordingly moved to add a clause to make the general provi-
sions of the Bill come into operation on the Ist of May, 1825.
The clause was agreed to, and the Bill read a third time.
A Message was brought up, in which the Commons requested a
conference in the Painted Chamber, on the amendments made by
their Lordships in the Vagrant Laws Amendment Bill, which was
agreed to. _
The Managers on the part of the Lords were, the Earl of ILta-
ROWSIr, Lords ROSSLYN, TO/LRINGTON, MILEY, GRANTLEY, and
CouittouN ; who, after the conference, reported that the Commons
had objected to the amendment, expressing a wish, that the Lords
might not insist on it, in order that the Bill might not be lost.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY then moved, that the House
should not insist on the amendment.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH considered the amendment of so
muclaimportance, that he opposed the motion.
After a few words from Earl Gaosvmens, the House divided—
For the motion 25—Against it 15—Majority 12.
Earl GREY presented a Petition from the Roman Catholics of
Waterford, and said he was requested to make a motion en it ; but
in consequence of the lateness of the Session, he would not comply
with the request. All he could do was to recommend the case of
the Petitioners to an early consideration next SCACIII.—The Peti-
tion was teed and laid on the take.
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presented the Report of
the Committee on the building of New Churches. His Grace
stated, that eleven Churches had been erected, capable of containing
15,000 persons. Fusty-four more were in great forwardness.—
Eighteen-had been abandoned, and ten were under consideration.
Ninety-eight Churches, in all, had occupied the attention of the
Committee. The whole of the Fund granted by Parliament in &Sea
had been exhausted. Since that expecditt.re, application had been
made to Parliament for more Churches, to the amount of seven. his
Grace concluded by moving, that the Report be printed.—Ordered-
Earl DARN LEY presented a Petition from the Watchmakers
of London, in favour of the Equitable Loan Bill.
Earl GROSVENOR said, he was disposed to look with a
favourable eye to the Bill; hut he hoe if it passed into a law,
the parties might not input on a better fuming than the pawnbrokers.
Lord HOLLAND rose, for the purpose of moving the first
reading of a Bill to enable the Earl Marshal and his Deputy to
execute the office without taking the Oath *of Supremacy. The
House would rententher that a Noble telation of his, three weeks
ago, presented a Bill, which bad three objects—one to render Ito-
nem Catholics eligible to act as Justices of the Peace; edly, To
hold Offices in the lit venue; and Jelly, To place any Roman Ca-
tholic Earl Marsh il in a situation to be able to execute the duties
of that high office, without any infringement of the law. That
which related to the Revenue was represented as necessary, and a
Bill had actually passed that House. With respect to the Earl
Marshal, it was said to be matter for a separate Bill. After that
admission, be had naturally stipposed such a Bill would meet with
tin Opposition. It was impossible their Lordships could consider the
Marshal's stick would be more dangerous in the hands of a Roman
Catholic Nobleman, than muskets and bayonets in the hands of Ca-
tholic soldiers and sailors. When they recollected from whom the
Noble Duke who held the (Ace was descended, they would not
withhold from him the power of executing the duties of that office.
In order to prevent any inconvenience, he should propose to sus-
pend the Standing Orders, that the Bill might go thtough all its
stages in one day.
The LORD CH A NCF.LLOR said, he did not know that he
should oppose the Bill, but he could not consent to suspend the
Standing Orders for the purpose mentioned.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, if the Bill could pass this Ses-
sion, he should give it his support ; but he did not think it fair to
suspend the Standing Orders on a question of this sort.
Lord lIOLL A ND said, if the Noble Earl felt any scruples to-
morrow, he should certainly not press his motion for the suaiension.
The Bill was then read the first time.
Lord REDESDA LE presented a Petition from the Royal Ex-
chatate Assurance Company, praying that Counsel may be heard at
the Bar' against the Insurance Bill in Committer.—The Petition
was laid on the table.
The House went into a Committee on the New Churches Bill:
Several amendments having been moved, the Bill was committed
and reported.—Third reading on Monday. a
Lord BEXLEY moved the order for going into a Committee
on the Marine Insurance Bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, on the third reading, he
should move that certain clauses be added to the BM, in order to
have the names of the parties enrolled in Courts of Justice, making
them answerable for the acts of each other.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL agreed in the suggestion of the
Learned Lord. He did not see why there should not be a general
Bill, to make Joint Stuck Companies liable to be dissolved, when
found injurious to the Public.—The Bill was then committed, le-
ported, and ordered to be read a third time on Mouday.
The Committee on the EquitaLle Loan Bill was postponed.—
Adjourned.

it to another Wail deserving the consideration of the-Thule. Br*'-
ever, it was but justice to say, from the knowledge he bad of tile,
present Governor of Nova Scotia, that he was quite incapable of
acting contrary to the instructions which he had received--(Hear,
Leary—The petitioners complained of a mistatetnent of their case
its some documents which had been presented to the House; and
they hoped an investigation would be instituted, whereby the facts
might be brought forward. They also complained that they were
subject to the same taxation as the inhabitants of Nova Scotia.--
" There is a disposition among them," observed the Honourable
Gentleman, " if their rights are not restored, of applying to the
United States of America for protection; and if I were an indivi-
dual of Cape Breton, and could not obtain redress, I should feel
myself warranted in wishing to be united with the American
States." The petitioners had also to complain of the ruinous state
of their fisheries; and although the present Governor had done
everything in his power to benefit the inhabitants, yet they suffered
exceedingly in consequence of its being annexed to Nova Scotia.
The plea that was formerly set up, when he brought the subject
at a former period before the House, and which would be set up
again in justification of this measure, was, that it was only a re-an-
nexation of the two Colonies, for Cape Breton was united to Nova
Scotia in 1766. Ile could only say, that he thought the subject of
great importance. The petitioners had been placed in such a situa-
tion that no men either could or ought tamely to submit to, and they
would have recourse to some measure by which they might obtain
those rights and privileges of which they had been robbed. He
moved that the Petition should be brought up.
Sir I. COFFIN said, that any one who was unacquainted with
the real state of the island mentioned by the Ilonourable Member
for Aberdeen, would be inclined to suppose that the Honourable
Gentleman was speaking of some place under the dominion of the
Dry of Algiers, he spoke so much about their loss of birth-rights
and laws. He (Sir I. Coffin) had known the Colonies of Nova
Scotia and Cape Breton these forty years, and he could assure the
lion. Member that the inhabitants of the latter place were highly
satisfied on being placed under the Government of Nova Scotia.
Mr. WILMOT-HOUTON said, that the present Petition in-
troduced by the Honourable Member for Aberdeen was a dupli-
cate of the one presented by him in the course of the last Session
of Parliament. He had said that the inhabitants of Cape Breton
had been harshly treattd, in consequence he should countenance
their rebellion and separation, as the only means by which tedress
was to be cbtained—(llear, hear).—lf the Honourable Member
really believed there was a grave charge of the nature he had repre-
sented against Cue eminent, he ought to have founded a motion
upon it, and nut contented himself with coming down to the House
with a Petition the last day of the Session, and entering into a de-
tit all the allegations contained in that Petition. He (Mr. Wil-
mot-Horton) denied the accuracy of the statement put forth in the
Peti•ion—(llear)—and he would challenge the Honourable Mem-
ber to bring forward any motion on the subject—( Hear). The
Governor of Nova &Cali was at preornt in this country ;he bad
been over the Colony of ('ape Breton, and the inhabitants were
highly satisfied with the arrangements entered into. The Honour-
able Gentleman here referred to a letter written by the Governor
to the Colonial Department, from which it appeared that great
improvements were rapidly taking place since Cape Breton was an-
nexed to Nova Scotia, and that more would be accomplished in a
few years than would have occurred in half a century, had not such
an arrangement been entered into—(Hear, hear).—lie could fol-
low up that statement by details which would satisfactorily prove
that much good had arisen from the measure ; but as there was no
motion affecting the Government before the House, he should ab-
stain front entering into them, considering as he did too, that the
present Peti:ion was only a duplicate of the one presented last
year by the honourable Member, of which the House at that time
disposed—( I lear).
Mr. BlillX AL. considered with his Honourable Friend near
hint (Mr. Hume), that the subject was dine of considerable import-
ance, and he was surprised to hear it said by the gallant Admiral
(Sir L.Coffin) that there was no hardship in altering the laws of Cape
Breton. lie hoped early in next Session some steps would be taken
for inquiring into the statements put forth by the Petitioners.—
The Petition was then read.

Sir I. COFFIN said he could not suppose that the Honourable
Member was serious when be spoke of exciting the inhabitants of
Cape Ireton to rebtlii nt. Ile could assure hint, if they acted upon
such a sugge4tion. that with a thousand men and a ship of the line,
he would knock them all over—( laugh).
Mr. H NIE hoptd that the llonourable Gentleman (the Under
Secretary for the Colonial Department) would:allow an inquiry into
the government of these Colonies. Ile would pledge his existence
never again to bring forward a motion fur the considerat:on of the
House, if he could not prove what lie had stated—(llear, and a
laugh). A nun could not do everything—(Laughter). Ile had
been so much occupied this year, that he really had not had time
to enter into the present subject; but if be had the honour of a
seat in the 'louse next year, he certainly would bring the question
forward. With respect to what had been said as to the Petition
being a duplicate of the one he bad presented last year, it could
nut be the fact, because the present Petition complained of a state-
ment made in the papers not then presented to the llouse.—The
Petition was then laid on the table.
