IMPORTANT FROM AFRICA From a post
Fcript TO the London Missionary Register
For December, we learn. that towards the
close of that month, dispatches were r.
ceived in London from Sierra Leon with
intelligence, which must he very crafty
ing to all the friends of Africa. Ii seems
that the Kussoos, warlike tribe, who
inhabit the interior Of that continent, at
no great distance from Sierra Leone,
have, for several years, waged cruel
and destructive war with their neighbors,
numbering or enslaving all on whom they
could lay their hands. At length, in the
progress Of victory, they reached the ter
ritories of the Sherbro Billions, tribe
who inhabit the fne country lying direct
ly southeast OF Sierra Leone, and extend
ing along the coast to the distance of 1870
miles, and manifested determination 10
exterminate them by the sword, or of
selling them into slavery. Under these
the chiefs of the Sherbro
Bulloms voluntarily placed themselves
under the protection of the British gov
eminent, and Oh the 24th of September
last, entered into a formal treaty, by
which they grant to his Britannia Majesty
" the full, entire, free, and unlimited
right, title, possession, and entire sover.
eighty of all the territories and domin-
ions to them belonging" In accordance
with this treaty, his ExceIIency Major
General Turner, Commander in Chief of
the British forces in West Africa, Oh the
fourth of October, issued his proclama-
ton, declaring the newly acquired terri
tories an integral part of the colony of ST.

DESTRUCTION OF LANCASTER

The one hundred and fiftieth anniver-
sary of the destruction of Lancaster by
the Indians was commemorated in that
town the 2lst inst. by public services.
The following was the order of exer.
cises, which were attended by nume-
rous and respectable audience from Lam
caster and the neighboring towns.
Introductory Prayer and reading Of
select portions Of Scripture-by Rev.
Mr.. Osgood, of Sterling.
Prayer-by Rev. DR.. Thayer, of
Lancaster.
Oration~by Isaac Goodwin, Esq. of
Sterling.
Hymns adapted to the occasion were
sung with effect, by large choir.
On account of the indispositon of
William Lincoln, Esq. of Worcester, a
poem expected from him was not deliv-
cred.
The devotional performances were
appropriate and affecting.
As 1t is expected that the Grafton will
soon be before the public, we shall not
give an analysis Of its contents. Suffice
it TO say, that the orator selected with
discrimination from the numerous topics
which the occasion furnished him, and
set them forth in a spirited and interest
ing style. He portrayed, with the ac-
curacy and zeal Of one who has attend
ed with fidelity and industry 10 the first
periods of our history that dark hour
of New-England, when King Philip had
sown the seeds of destruction through
out her borders, and threatened the ut
ter determination of the whites; when
fire and destruction lighted upon SO
many Of our settlements, especially up
on the now beautiful and fourishing
valley Of Lancaster, then an outpost in
the wilderness, and the oldest settle
ment in the county of Worcester.

RUssIA.-The following is an extract
from private letter, dated st. Peters
burgh, Dec. II.
AT the period of the marriage of the
Grand Duke Constantine, with the
daughter of private Polish gentleman,
the Empress mother who was oppos-
ed TO 1t, obtained from the Emperor a
decision, according TO which, in forming
this alliance. Constantine was TO re-
nounce his right to the throne in favor
OF the Grand Duke Nicholas. The act
was prepared, assented to, and signed
by Constantine, and three copies of i
were secretly der osited with the Senate,
the Synod, and the Supreme Council Of
the Empire. This secret document was
not to be opened, but on the death of
the Emperor Alexander.
Immediately on the sad news of the
9Th being received, the packets were
officially opened, but from respect for
the hereditary rights of his eldest broth
er, the Grand Duke Nicholas declared,
on the spot, that he renowned the ben
eft of the act in question, and that he
would take the oath of fidelity to the En-
peror Constantine /. The Senate, the
great Dignitaries of the Empire, and
the soldiers, followed his example, and
from that moment, they were only oc
cupied in looking for the arrival of their
new Sovereign.
But the latter, faithful to the arrange
ments to which he had subscribed, made
DO preparations for quitting Warsaw,
bringing with them the adhesion of the
imperial family. and of the great bodies
Pf the State. Now the struggle of DEL
cacy is at an end, the new Emperor is

he saw none of them.
He would not longer take up the
time of the House. He hoped the res
olution, would pass; that the house
might act on the subject.

be added, those that foundered, the num-
Der OF which is not yet known; and it is

are already very numerous, and il is sup
posed that there are many more under

"Ah !" cried the matron, clasping her
hands together, and her eyes filling with

The Emperor was touched, and the
General could not restrain his emotion.
The latter forgot his Sovereign's desire
to preserve his incognito, and exclaim-
ed" He stands before you, mother

1.-THE old woman, as soon as she
could clearly comprehend the words, fell
down on her knees before the Empe-
rOr, delighted at the accomplishment
of her wish, but terrified at the recol-
lection of her former boldness.
Alexander kindly raised her from her
knees, and said to her, 81 am glad you
have so good and grateful a son your
fears for his honesty do you credit, and
you are properly rewarded for the prin-
ciples you must have nstilled into him
when he was young, by his present at-
fectionate conduct towards you. You
shall in future receive from me en-
sion that will suffice for your wants SO
that he shall not henceforth be obliged

his tlial duties. If he conducts himself
well, something farther shall be done for
him."
