Although we are yet without any official intelligence
from Cape Coa.,t, yet tl:e circumstantial manner in
which the disastrous affair is narrated, almost precludes
all hope that it is :sct to a considerable extent at
least ; indeed, our sette:oent is on so small a scale, and
the European force so slender, that with a warlike and
ferocious people, such as the Ashantees, an event of
this sort was always to be feat-c.d. Our principal force
as in the l'antees, a neighboui ing tribe we took under
our in otcnion when their ann:hilation seemed threatetlcd
by the A-di:traces.

It appears from the Barbadoes Paper, that the
Ashantees hal made several incursions lately on our
Settlement for the sake of plunder,:at on one of
these occasions a British Serjeant was seizel and mur-
dered. It was to .punish this aggression that Sir
CilmiLEs M'CARTIIY is stated to hare prepared an
expedition, which lie formed in three divisions, one of
which he. commanded, and was intercepted before he
could join the other two divisions. There seems some
improbability in this; for Sir CIL.% RLES could not but
be aware of the great numbers of the Ashantees, and was
not, we trust, very likely to be taken by surprise in a
manner so fatal and disalvamageons.
A private letter, said to have been written by an Of-
ficer on board the OXEN GLEND'4WER, confirms the
intelligence as to the defeat of the Governor, and states,
that all the white men of the party, about seven or
eight, and more than two thirds of his furce,were killed.

Accounts arc said to have been received from Sierra
Leone, of the 10th of March, which are entirely silent
on the subject of the affair of the Ashantees at Accra.
We confess, however, we have still little hopes that it is
not true in its most material features.

Ilambnrgh, Dutch, and Brussels Papers to a late
date reached us this forenoon, from which we make the
fullowini! extracts :

PETPRSBURGII, APRIL 13.

On the 241 (14) of Fehruat y his Majesty addressed the
follnwing Ukase to the Senate:

" By our Ukase addressed to the Senate on the 17th
(29th) December, we gave orders for the distribution
of 3,500 receipt, on payment of 2000 runes for each,
to such persons as should wish to have them, which
will be accepted instead of recruits in future levies,
when such shall l required to complete the army.
Considering tl)dt in some villages and communes the
art ears et. cci...iit•-; to be fuinilted have accumul ited,
especially him, the inefficiency of men fit for the service
to be found in those place;, and as we wish to afford
each of them that pov.esse: -.ufficient means, an oppor-
