OOoAONS JAM AO'
From the official report we learn that
the action beteen the British and Asian
tee forces took place on the plains of
Accra, on the 18th August; and that
the fate of the day was for considera-
bic time doubtful, but was decided IN IA
vor of the British, by the timely explo-
sion of few Congreve rockets among
the Ashaniees, by one of which their
King was wounded and his followers
staggered. The official report states =
Ia the meantime Acoto, King Of
Aqudmboe, took a circuit with his force,
and commenced an attack 10 The rear Of
the Ashantees, and who, eventually.
solely decided the fate of the day
They Immediately began TO retire, and
the rockets and artillery keeping up
their fire, and the Ashahtees falling into
division among themselves, The victo.
ry was declared, after FIVE hours, in fa-
vor Of the British allied arms. MANY
of their principal men have fallen, a.
mong others their Oldest warrior, A.
poke. The King, who was wounded in
three places, very narrowly escaped
being taken prisoner, one of our Chiefs,
being mortally wounded while 10 the
act Of dragging him from his basket.
HIS equipage, camp, and several of his
wives, with very rich booty, es,imat-
ed at half million sterling, fell into
our hands. The King fled from the
field with a few followers, and has since
been reported dead of his wounds.
The Asbantees fought very bravely, as
did the Atkins and Accras on our side.
The loss on our part is trivial,
when compared TO theirs. Mr.. Richter
is the only European wounded; eight
hundred allies killed, and about two
thousand wounded. Of the Ashantees,
FIVE to ak thousand were killed on the
field, and 1000 have since been taken
prisoners by the Accras.--The estimat-
ed force on our side, from very correct
authority, was, on the day of battle,

awful CALAMITY.
WASHINGTON, JAN. Is

WASHINGTON, JAN. | y.
1t is with feelings of the deepest con-
Germ and sympathy, we perform the
painful duty Of recording the calamity
that betel our sister city, Alexandra,
yesterday. An extensive and destruc-
i've confiagration has left the most pop
ulous and hourishing part of the city in
ruins. and filled the bosolus of its in
habitants with grief and desolation. A.
bou; nine in the morning, it was discoy.
cred that a Cabinet makers shop was
in flames. That house and 8 or 10 9TH
ers, fronting on alleys, were consumed,
most of which were The back buildings
of houses fronting on King and Fairfax
streets. From these he fire extended
10 Fairfax street, consuming three wood.
en- houses; then five three-story brick
bouses then three smaller brick tene.
ments and several wooden ones; all
these were on the west side of Fairfax
street. On the east side, two three-slo-
ry brick stores and dwellings were also
consumed. Here the fire was arrested
on Fairfax street, but in the meantime
the blazing shingles had lighted the
flames in Prince-street, commencing al
the intersection of that and Water
street, sweeping every house on both
sides from thence TO Unlon-street, with
the exception of one 6re-proof ware
house
On Union-street the ravages were
checked north and south, and prevented
from crossing the street TO the east. On
Prince-street about thirty houses were
burnt, many of which were brick, but
chiefly wooden; and on Union FIVE or
six fine brick Warehouses were totally
consumed The whole number of
houses consumed are hastily estimated
al between eighty and oinety. No COR
rect calculation can be made in regard
10 value of property, but it will moi fall
far short of $4,000. Journal.
