MoNRovIA, August IL. 1926.
The detention Of Captain Walstrum few days
beyond his intention, has put it in my power 10 ad
wise you that negotiations have been entered into
with the Chiefs OF Cape Mount, which promise Us
strong hold upon that important point Of the Air
can coast. The absolute purchase of property there
is, in The present state OF the prejudices OF the
tive tribes who hold it, no doub, entrel. Impractical
\ bic. But an agreement has been concluded which
we believe may and will be solemnly ratified in few
X weeks, that will secure to us several points which
we regard as second in importance only to the actu
al purchase Of The country. The outline OF The
treaty is as follows:
81. The Colony ccdes 10 the Governor OF Cape
B Mount the right OF establishing trading house at
Cape Measurable, and Tor the present permits this
( establishment to be made on Perseverance, Island
90. And cedes also the right OF employing
q commercial sgent from among the settlers
49, To the Colony is ceded the right OF the exclu-
II sive use of piece of land situated contguou, to
II the landing Of Cape Mount and the right to APP
\ point and employ on those premises any number oil
factors and traders.
81. The Chiefs of Cape Mount agree TO build,
IN the first instance large and factory Tor
4 The Colony at Cape Mount, for reasonable com
pensalion; TO guaranty the safety OF persons and
4 property belonging to the said factory exact no tr
butte or custom of ii, any persons resorting to it,
u forever; and TO encourage the free transmission oil
all the trade Of the interior TO The said factory.
IS. They also stipulate expressly, never to sell
their country, or any right Of occupancy in it, to any
Europeans or other foreigners, under whatever cir
u cumsanccs. Also, never to permit any English
II man, Frenchman, Spanard, or other than the colo
a nsls Of Liberia to establish factory or trading
house ashore, either Tor slaves or produces but OBJ
4 lise them always to trade from their vessels.
N &C. They also s,ipulae that prices shall be mu-
u tuaNy adjusted by public authority, and revised by
II The came parties every four monlhs-and, fixed,
shall never be departed from, except by mutual con.
n sent and mutual understanding FIRST had By the
3same pertes
n az. The Cape Mount and Cape Measurable PEG
pie shall treat each other friends and members OF
one common family, and endeavor 10 obtain, de-
serve, and keep each others confidence"
f Such is the outline. The arrangement is impor.

WASHINGTON, APRIL Q.
81 will endeavor 10 give you an ac-
count Of the quarrel, for such II literally
was, between M'Duftie, David Trimble
and Gen. Vance, oil Ohio. On Friday,
in conclusion, as it was supposed and
intended, of the debate upon his resolu.
tions, M Duaie took occasion to lash The
President and Secretary OF State, in the
most imprudent and severe tone; and,
in allusion to the late election, said, that
Clay, through corrup, motives, had 10
fluenced honorable men to vote to suit
his purposes, without those men per,
ceiving or being conscious OF his influ-
epce; imputing the corruption which
he charged, TO no other than the Presi-
dent and Secretary. David Triinble in
duced the committee TO rise, report pro-
grcss and ask leave 10 sit again, which
was granted by the House. On the next
day, yesterday he retired on M'Duffie
with immense severity, and, after him,
Vance laid on with two handed maui.
MsDuflie asked Trimble whether be in
tended to be personal 10 his remarks /?
Trimbie replied that M'Dufie had no
right 10 ask such question; but he
would leave it TO M.Dufiie 10 answer his
own inquiry, by observing, that, il M.
Duffie intended personality, he I'D in
TENDED the same-if not, then he did not.
Vance had said, in the course Of his ar
gument, that he had sprung from the
lowest station, &c. and the present con-
s,itulion had advanced him to what he
was. M'Duffie rose, and said, that il
was sufficienslS spparen. that Vance had
risen from theilowest grade OF society,
without his telling US so-and what was
more, he had not yet altered his destiny.
That he perceived the game that was
playing; that, if the dastardIy Secretary
chose to skulk from the responsibility Of
gentleman, he should not disgrace
himself by calling to the field Of honor,
his tools and undcrstrappers; but that,
if they called upon him, he would. for
once, forge, that they, (Trimble and
Vance, were not gentlemen, and would
meet them. How this business will end,
no one knows; but it is thought, in Sc
yeral ducls." Lou. Pu6. .1dv.

PERKINS STEAM GUN.

1t is said that Mr.. Perkins has sold
the secret OF his steam gun to the Bri-
fish government; and tina, he rejected a
munihcent offer for il by one of the con-
unental powers. 1t will throw $50 balls
in minute, or $4,000 in an hour. II
this were done in the ordinary way, 49,
600 ounces of powder would be requir-
ed every hour, or $4,000 pounds every
sixteen hours. This would cost about
i425. Mr.. Perkins believes that he can
throw the same number OF balls with
FIVE bushels of coal, which would reduce
the expense 10 8 or IA for six hours.
