1.-The war between the Ashiantines and
Lautincs, Ashantynen and Fautinen,
who take the field with armies OF SO or
6C. 600 men, becomes here terrible. With
in three or four days thousands of fugitive
Fant;nes, men. women and children, arri-
we'd here. The Ashiantines are already
near Cape Cors, an English fort, which
lies in our sight, and are enemies 10 the
English.--They are brave and warke
nation, against whom, in our opinion, the
fort will not be able to hold out. This war
does great mischief here"

are sorry to learn, that the report OF DIS
turb nee at Trowbridge was not wholly
without foundation. The object Of The Ill

who having been roughly handled by the
Inhabitants on . former similar occasion,
were DESTROYS of being revenged. Accor

" sprigs of shiileiah," in some of which
lead anti nails had bSeA inserted. they at
tackled every one who happened to be in

assailants, many OF the inhabitants collect

the II,bernians were driven to their quar-
