LONDON. Oct. 5 -Dcfeat oflte .9shanfees-
I Dispatches from Cape Coast Castle, dated the
} l2!h and 18th Of July, have been received
they were brought to the Colonial Office on
; Thursday by Colonel Sutherland, who COM
Aanded IN the acfion. Col. Southerland who is
) nowsrepiaced in Africa by Col. Grant, came
/, hcme isir the Tisrts, Captain Sir :. PhilIimore
On accHnnt ofthe absence Of Earl Bathurst
from town, The dispatches were not opened,
but IT appears. from the statements Of priv ate
letters, that the principal battle took place on
the 18th of JURY, when the Ashantees, beaded
} by their King, and in number about Is 900
J approached To attack the Castle. For the
FIRST time our troops were enabled to bring
held pieces against the enemy, who suffered
TERRIBLY from the grape and canister shot
poured apon them. During the action the
left wing of the Allied and British force wheel
ed round, and burned two Of their camps
The loss on our side wss estimated at 500 Kill
led and wounded, but that of the Ashantees
was much greater, and their main body was
IN full retreat. On The 18th and 18Th, Skin
nishes took place with some detachmsnts
which had BEEN left TO cover their rear in
which they also experienced considerable loss.
At the time when the Thetis sailed, the 22d
OF July, nothing further had been heard or
seen OF them, and il began to be thought
that they we're on their way back to their
. own country. One ofthe results of the bat
tie is said to have been the release of Mr..
Williams, the King Of Ashantee having con-
scented to his ransom.
BY the Spanish mail arrived yesterday, a
u.
ed by mercantile house in the CITY Of the
: highest responsibility, from which il appears,
that the Spanish government had engaged
SIX Transports, then lying at Puprta Santa Ma
ria, for the purpose Of proceeding To FerroI,
where 5000 troops would be embarked for
} HAVANA.
: The Times says, 6" An attempt is making
TO create an alarm respecting French expe-
o"'on 20 81 Domingo, than which we be-
heve, there IS nothing IN fact, farther from the
contemplation of the French Governmenf."-
Beside the absurdity Of il, lie continues, and
the want OF the means, letters received the
day before from Havre, state, that vessels are
, oaiins there for that island, freighted in par,
with military stores aud equipments for caval-
] ry. &c.
! Oue Of the Haytian agents is still in France
and there is = probability Of the negotiation
, under the new King.
