WAR WITH THE ASLIANTEES. . 1

• - (asicivoisdfrvas rasa gyn./fig)
Menem, of *earthy rung along the coast from
Cape Apollonia to the month of the Volta, and the great
influence which be gained overthese people, (the hitherto`
acknowledged subjects of the King of Ashantee), was:,
viewed with silent and gloomy indignation by that Mo-
narch, whose pride was not only stung at the sudden m-
ink-4,bls subjects, aohnowledged as such by British
treaty, but at the neglect of his authority and dignity
on the pais of the Britiebvin not sending,to bins it corn-
plimentarf Embassy.
At this time he entertained a great opinion of Sir
Charles MiCarthfc consequence and ability ; he had
bawd he was a powerful fighting man, and bad large
possessisms, independent of the Gold Coast; if, there-
fore, this compliment had been paid to him, it is an as-
sustsption,,by no means chimerical, that he would have
been satisfiedito Taiga his sovereignty over the-people
of the coast, and they might have enjoyed that state or
peaceful security, which an appeal to arms has perhaps
deprived them of for ever. Pity it- was that the late
much lamented Governor of these Volonies had not been
advised to take this step, instead of endeavouring to
turn into contempt the authority enacted by that sable
and implacable chief. ,
The Ashantees are by no means a hasty people in
their resolutions, and never engage in anything rashly.
They have been known to take three years in making
preparations for a war, previous to a declaration of hos-
tilitses, such is their caution and calculation against de.
feat. From this pricommon prudence of theirs, Bir C.
M'Carthy was allowed to make arrangements, and to
quit the coast for a time, perfectly satisfied with the
appearance of prosperity exhibited by the happiness and
contentment of the natives with whom he held inter-
course, and utterly unconscious of the hostile intentions
of the Monarch of Asbantee,as Ashantees, though not
men of any note, visited the settlement as tie lees.-
- During his absence the impending storm burst, by
the seizure, on the part of the King,- in the month of
Augusts,lll22, of a British Berjeant, under some trivial(
pretence. This man wits carried off to a 'antes town,
named Donquah, about eighteen miles inland ftora An-
namaboe, and was detained there a prisoner, with an
intention of finding out (as was after wards learned) what
part we should act in the endeavour to recover, him;
whether we should have recourse to force, as in the
Mnuree affair, or whether we should demand his re-1
lease, agreeably to the fifth article of the cream*. The
