[FROM THU SIERRA LEONI IMERTTE, INARci 101

We have much pleasure in announcing the safe ar-
rival of the Americas brig Nautili's in the harbour of
Freetown from Norfolk, Virginia, having on beard J.
B. Wien, and R. Bacon, Esqn. Agents, of the United
States for captured African, and Messrs. Andrews
and Wilberger, agents of the society for the establish-
Rest of colonies of free coloured people of the United
-Slates, on the coast of Africa. A number of Afri4s
taken by the ships of fear of the United States, in their
recent cruises on the coast,. are on board the Nautilus,
wader the charge of Messrs. Winn and Bacon; and a
number of free people of colour, placed at the direr
this of Messrs. Andrewsond Wilberger.
The intention of the gentlemen thus intrusted with
the management of the enterprise—which, we are
y to find, is formed on a basis of good too broad
sad two firm to be ,leranged by the losses and disappoist-
moots incurred at the place first chosen fora HMO-.
the Sherbro--will be, as we understand, to collect
the surviving members and remaining stock of that
,settlement, and to ineorporatm them with those now
brought out. The managers will then consider bow,
the whole can be beet disposed in furtherance of the
great object for which they are sent to Africa. While
we sincerely and heartily wish luau to this Brat ob-
ject, we trust those gentlemen will see the expediency
of placing their settlement at such a distance from this
colony, as to leave no ground of rival interest to pro-
duce unfriendly feelings between their colonists and
the inhabitants of this settlement.
We trust they will rather, ai far as it shall be found
practicable, endeavour to fix themselves in a place
suited to make those feelings of interest, which are
inseparable from human nature, and which are the
great spring of the industry that constitutes the source
and support of colonial prosperity—contribute to the
maintenance and promotion of the mutual good will
and amity, and of the reciprocal good offices naturally
to be desired between settlements devoted to the same
beneficent purposes.

in furtherance of such gracious intention, gave to such
Province a separate Legislature, lodepoodent each of

His Majesty and the Imperial Parliament, to exercise
the undoubted right reserved by the 31st Geo. 111. ch.

at the Port of Quebec, shall be paid to the use of this
Province, in such amount, manner and form, as Parlia-
ment in its justice and wisdom may devise.
