His Majesty's ship HAwKE, which is arrived from
the Gold Coast of Africa, has on board gold and ivory
to a very large amount.
The accounts which this vessel brings of the situa-
tion of affairs in that country are of a very interesting
nature. It appears that a meeting had taken place
at Bance Island, and had assumed a very serious as-
pect, in consequence of which application was made
to the Governor of Sierra Leone, who repaired to the
former place, faking with him an adequate military
force. On his arrival he found the island in a
state of the utmost disorder, and at the solicitation
of the Superintendant, took possession of it provl.
sionally, and declared it to be subject to military law.
The result of this proceeding was, that fourteen of
the ring-leaders were brought to .trial, and found
guilty, two of whom, named BANNA and MOREY,
were sentenced to suffer death, and the remainder to
be banished for life. This sentence was, however,
afterwards commuted. BANNA and MOREY were or-
dered to be transported for life, first receiving each
150 lashes. They were afterwards, with the other
twelve, transported to the British Settlement of Cape
Coast Castle.

The accounts further state, that three men, natives
of Africa, had been taken up, and were in confine-
ment at Cape Coast, charged with the murder of Mr.
FoOTE, an European, and the son of a person of the
name of LAMITTEE, a native of Acera, but that no
proceedings had been instituted against the accused,
the Governor and his Council having some doubts of
their authority to proceed in such cases.
We learn with pleasure that the President at Cape
Coast had attempted to cultivate cotton and coffee,
both of which were found to grow extremely well.
