If the early appearance of this Work were the principal object

December. But such a plan could not be adopted without sacri-
ficing almost everything that Could distinguish the Work from
being a mere abstract of the last Yeeett hie of Newspapers. The
Editor has to record events, the knowledge of which from the
mere distance of the rigions in which they take place, cannot reach
Europe for some ntonths after their occurrence. It should be re
membered that the business of an Annual Register is not like that
of a daily Newspaper, to tell 'us what is pawing. but what has
passed. In the one case delay may be inconvenient; in the other
a certain interval is in some measure indispensable for the accom-
plishment of the proper object of the Work:

..AFittca.

The interior of Africa and the coarse and termination
of the celebrated riverlliger, are subjects to which the
public mind has long been directed with intense anxiety.
This anxiety has been greatly increased by the return of
Captain Clapperton and Major Denham from their
journey of discovery in the interior parts of the northern
portion of that vast Continent, and the intelligence which
it is understood they have brought to Government. We
have already alluded to the accounts of their discoveries
transmitted to this country previous to their return from
the interior of Africa, and brought down to that point
where Captain Clapperton was left pursuing 'his way
to ascertain the course of the Niger. It is necessary toy
recapitulate the principal facts concerning these, as pub-
lished by the Quarterly Review, in order inure fully to
understand what is to follow.
The longitudes ani latitudes, and consequently the
positions of States and Cities, have been found to be
grossly erroneous. Bornou, laid down in about 18 de-
grees North latitude, and 20 deg. East longitude, has
been found to lie in 12 deg. North lat. and 14 or
16 deg. East long. Turning up a map and fixing
upon these parallels as the centre of Bottrop, the fol.
lowing will be better appreciated. The read is not a
river, but a large lake of fresh water, extending from
about 14 deg. 30 min. North lat. to 11 deg. North lat.
and is fed, so far as is yet known, by the Ina, a river
about 100 feet broad, coming from the west, and by the
Shary, a river 600 yards broad at its mouth and coining
from the S. and S.W. but where its sources are, is un-
certain. No river from the westward, except the Yeou,
joins either the read or the Shary to the north of the
parallel of 9 deg. SO min. North lat. and on the meridian
of Birnie, the capital of Bornou.
Of the farther discovery made by the travellers, we
l• ere just learned the following particulars (but not from
the Quarterly Review), through a channel which, we
believe, I as the means of being correctly informed,
regarding ti e leadine facts communicated by the tra-
vellers. Major Dentin) wasobliged to leave t4O miles
of the east side of the lake Tsad unexplored. conse-
quently it remains uncertain what rivers flow into the
lake, or issue from it in that quarter. The course of the
waters which may intervene between the Tied and the
Ba: r el Abi td remain the same as pointed cut by
former author ities. After pursuing his course westward,
along the course of the Yeou a considerable distance,
Capt. Clipperton struck cff to the South. How far he
journeyed iii that direction we have not heard, but he
came to the capital of a powerful and friendly Sove-
reign, whose dweLing was graced by English crockery
ware, and European goods obtained from the vessels
which trade to the Bights of Benin and Biafra. This
Prince has both the means and the power to open up a
communication with the Atlantic, and expressed his
anxiety to do so. Here Capt. Clapperton found Euro-
pean books. The population are rigid Mahommedans
of the sect known in the East Indies, and are consider-
ably advanced in civilization. With Tripoli there is a
regular communication, by means of a monthly post.
Too powerful Sovereigns at present divide and eontroul
this great portion of Central Africa. Capt. Clapperton
did not penetrate to the Niger or the river of Timbnc-
too. although be was within about 70 miles of it, but
he obtained such information as left no doubt in his
mind of the fact that the Niger ran to the South, and
entered the Atlantic Ocean in the Bights of Benin and
Biafra. From information also obtained, it appears
that the Niger is joined by a river from the North-east,
and after this junction the united and powerful flood
rolls its volumes southerly into the ocean, as has just,
been mentioned.
Three Officers, we believe (Captain Clapperton
and two others), will shortly proceed to the Bights of
Benin and Biafra, in order to penetrate into the inte-
rior and the countries which they left, by means of the
Niger, and directed and seconded by all the power and
energy of the British Government, in order to attempt
to establish a ready communication and commercial
arrangements with the Potentates who bear sway in
that part of Africa.
Highly important as the commercial and geogra-
phical information which these travellers bring re-
garding the interior of Africa is, (that such was to be
expected previous researches had enabled us to point
out) still, these sink into insignificance before the
great and important fact (which we have long ceased
to doubt) namely, that the Niger, which traverses
such a vast event of Central Aft ica,connunicates with
the Atlantic Ocean, and we are quite sure by a navi-
gable current. Without this proves to be the case, all
discoveries in the interior of Northern Africa would
have been comparatively useless, and all attempts
made by Europeans to enlighten and civilize those
parts, would h..ve proved a business most tedious, if
at all practicable. By the Niger the deepest and most
hidden recesses of Africa are at once laid open, and
European power, and European intelligence, and Euro-
pean industry, will penetrate, without difficulty, into
the remotest corneis, and teach the Africans. what
Europeans know, and what Europeans want, by an ho-
nourable and legaimate commerce.
The reader has only to turn to the map to perceive
the value and importance of the Island of Fernand. Po
to this country. A healthy and fruitful spot, with safe
anchorage, easily fortified, and invincibly protected by
the Power which.rules the ocean, it is only thirty five
miles dirant from that mouth of the Niger, by which
alone heavy ships can enter the River. Consequently
its value and importance, in our future connection with
Africa, exceeds all calculation. No time ought to be
lost in fixing our flig upon it. It is with considerable
regret, hoaever, we learn that same difficulties have
arisen in a quarter from which none were anticipated.
Portugal, writ` formerly claimed the Island, has ceded
it to Spain, and since we have acknowledged the in-
dependence of her American possessions, that Power
w ill neither lead nor drive, or do anything we require ;
and it is.considered blush and unjust, in her present
condition, to take possession of it without her consent.
—No measure nor expense, however, will, we hope, be
left untried or saved to obtain the right to tlijs import- I
ant post, whatever that expenie may be. IVithout it
all our energies in Africa will be cramped, and in the
hands of any other Eutoreau Power the advantages to
be obtain.-d from Afri:a may in some measure be
anatched from this country. Had Spain a Government
and commercial capital like Britain—were Spain what

GREEK GOVERNMENT.
" Thanks to Goo! The enemy's fleet, that made its',
appearance off Cape d'Oro, threatened so much to at-1
tack the Islands of Hydra and Spezzia, that the Go.'
veroment thought it necessary to order the troops that
were at Napoli di Rostrania to be sent there, in order to
defend this bulwark of Our independence. The afore-
said fleet, consisting of 100 sail, between men-cif-soar
and transports, and which was carrying troops and all
kinds of ammunition and provisions, in order to effect
the ruin of Greece. has been completely defeated by our
brave sailors off ape d'Oro and Andros, between the
'lllDth and 21st of Wy, 0. S. The proud aptain Pacha
'escceeded, with much difficulty, in effecting his escape
with only 27 ships, still followed by the second division
of the Greek fleet undet -Sacktoury. The Admiral's
ship, which was the largest amongst the enemy's fleet,
was burnt ; but the Captain Paella was not found on
board, he knowing by experience that the Greeks at-
tacked generally the ship on board of which he was.
Another frtate, of a smaller dimension, has also been
burnt in the engagement; and several other men-of-
war, haring been dispersed and chased by the Greeks,
ran ashore on the islands of Syra and • Tino. A great
number of transports had been captured and brought
into the Islands of Hydra and Spezia. The Admiral
Miaulis, informed at Milos, of the glorious engagement
of Sacktoury, hastened to the spot in pursuit of the lest
of the enemy's fleet, which it was Tully anticipated
would have met the same fate."
" CORFU, JUNE 17 AM 18.
" Ibrahim Pasha's position in the Morea becomes
daily more critical. It appears certain, that in wishing
to penetrate into the interior of the country, he was
surrounded by a considerable body of troops under
Colocotroni, from whence he will find much difficulty
in extricating himself. Besides his bad situation by
land, the events that took place by sea between the
20th and 21st of last month O.S. must very much
embarrass him. According to the official report of the
Greek Government on this event, it reiults that the
Capitan Pasha's frigate, with another of a smaller
dimension, had been burnt by the Greek fire-ships,
together with many other small vessels, and that the
Capitan Pacha's fleet was reduced to about 30 ships.
IThe Greeks, under Gouras, have beaten the Turks in
Eastern Greece. Report says, that they surrendered
themselves prisoners, and that Gouras was trying to
effect a junction with the Greek army of observa-
tion at Missolonghi, in order to attack the Albanians
that were besieging that place."
ZANTE. JUNK 14.
" The official report of the Greek Government will
inform you of what took place in the beginning of June
(N.S.), between Sacktoury and the Capstan Pacha. I
have moreover to say, that the news contained in the
aforesaid report has been confirmed by the many Cap-
tains of merchantmen that have arrived here lately.
They reckon the loss of the Turks at about thirty sail,
between men of war and transports, laden with provi-
sions and all kinds of war ammunition. This event
renders their situation in the Morea very critical. We
have seen to-day three Greek ships going to Misso.
longhi, with war ammunition and provisions. They
have orders to prevent the Turks communicating with
Patras, where it was intended to send a considerable
body of troops under the comma id of one of the
chiefs detained at Hydra."
FROM THE WRENCH PAPERS.
PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF GREECE.
" The President of the Executive Power notifies:—
" What God is greater than the GOD of our Fathers ?
—The enemy's fleet had appeared near Cavodora, and
threatened from afar the islands of Hydra and Spezz'a.
The Government has been forced to call together all
the soldiers scattered in the environs, to defend the cerstre
of the liberty of Greece. The fleet, composed of about
100 ships of war and transports, having on board troops
and provisions of all kinds, has been dispersed after an
obstinate combat with our seamen, on the 12th June,
between Cavodore and Andros. Topal Pacha, with
much difficulty, saved himself with twenty-two of his
vessels. The second squadron of our fleet is in pursuit
of them. In the midst of the action an enemy's frigate
and the Admiral's ship were burnt by our fire-ships.—
Topal Pacha was not, however, on board his ship : he
had probably supposed that this time, as before, our
fire-ships would be directed against the Admiral.—
Several vessels and another vessel which were dis-
persed and pursued, ran agrou'd on the coasts of the
isles of Tine and Syra. The greater number of the
ports were taken and carried into Hydra and Spezzia.
The remnant of the enemy's fleet is dispersed about the
Egean sea, and, according to all appearances, will fall
into our hands. What makes us hope for the total de-
struction of the enemy's fleet is, that the first squadron
of our fleet yesterday joined tbe second, which fought the
battle, and both together will do their utmost to cut off
the retreat of the Mahometaes.
