By a Gentleman lately arrived at Charletlon, from
Africa, we are informed, that war has raged on the
banks of the Senegal for tome time pall, between the
natives and the French. The Jaloffs, who inhabit
the country between the rivers Senegal and Gambia,
are an alive and warlike people. They are divided
into feveral clans, and are frequently at war with each
other. They are fuppofed to be among the hand-
fomeft negroes of the wellern coat. The French
have had, for many years, a fettlement at the mouth
of the river Senegal, from whence they carry on a
confiderable trade of flares, gum,&c. The Governor's
name is Blanchard. Alimami, the King of the Jaloffs,
had impofr•d a certain duty upon all veffels belong-
ing to the French fadnry which traded up the river.
The French evaded this duty. The fraud was deteded
by the King, and a war enfued. The French fent a
plundering expedition up the river againa the Jaloffs,
which returned with a confiderable number of (laves,
&c. This emboldened them to make a new attempt,
which like wife fuceeeded in obtaining a number of
Dave, ; but not fatisfied with this, the Commander
landed his men, and marched them into the country.
—The Jaloff, furrnunded and butchered nearly the
whole ut them. This was a dreadful cataltrophe to
the inhabitants of the French colony, for Governor
Blanchard had taken from every woman who had
two fons one of them for this expedition, and nut
f the whole number, not more than two or three'
tetortird alive. The war continued when the tall I
accounts left the coat of Africa.

The Hambur;h Mail due on Wednefday had not
arrived when this Paper went to pref-, but a Dutch
Paper of the :ad init. is Paid to have been received,
which (peaks of fome unfavourable news having
reached Paris from Naples; but the particulars are
not given.
An Evening Paper of yefterday makes mention
alfo of a private letter from the Hague, which Rates
that the elevation of Louis B to the Regal
Dignity, by the Ryle and title of" Louts Neeozeow
the Fit*, King of Holland." had been publicly an.
nounced at Paris; and that his Mijelly would lbortly
be proclaimed at the Hague. It is added, that among
the firft ads of his reign, would be an order to open
the Dutch ports to Britith !hips, freighted with colo-
nial produce, and prohibiting only Englifh meoufac.
tures.
Not having fees either the Paper or the Letter
above alluded to, we mutt for the prefent fufpend
our belief in regard to both there flatements. The
title " King of Holland" is nonfenfe, as Hclland is
only one of the Seven United Provinces.
The unfortunate death of M. Mofment, who lately
fell from a balloon in France, has produced the fol-
lowing obfervations from Garnerin, the famous aero-
naut :—" It teems that the misfortune which hap-
pened to M. Mofment did not refult from any of the
inconveniences which are connei.ted with aeroftatic
attentions, but merely from want of prudence. The
car in which he attended was too (hallow ; the cords
by which it was attached to the balloon were too far
apart ; and it is probable, that when M. Morment
was leaning over to let an animal drop in a parachute,
that he 101 l his balance, and was precipitated to
the earth. If the accidents which have happened
from balloons are inveftigated, it will be teen that
, they have in general proceeded from the imprudence
of the aeronauts themfelves. Every one forefaw when
the Monvoyere was attached to a balloon, filled with
inflammable gas, the danger to which Pilatre Du
Roller was eel:soled. Betides, thole balloons were
gilt, which -night attraa the electricity of the clouds.
Balloons gilt or !livered over are very dangerous.—
Zansbiccari, who employed those man•, fultained
feversl accidents, and it is only furprifing that he
efcaped at le*."
LaR week, as Mr. George Hogg, of Hazon, neat
Felton, was returning from Morpeth market, along
with his brother and fume other farmers, he had oc-
cation to flop a little upon the road, while the reft of
the company proceeded forwards. From the great
fall of rain on that day, it was inferred by the corn.
pany that Hazon Bourn would be dangerous to pals,
:and they therefore went round by the bridge, but
Mr. Hogg not fufpeding that his friends had taken
that precaution, attempted the ford, and unfortn-
n.t:ely perithed. The honk having come home with.
out his rider, every pollible fearch was made for
him, without effed, and his body was not found
till next day, at about a mile ditiant from the (pot
where he fell in.
Yeilerday the body of a feafaring man was taken
up, drowned, off King Edward's Stairs, Wapping,
and conveyed to the bonehoufe.
