IIBE

Extract of a letter from the Vice agent
ofthe American Colony in Africa, dated
Sept. Id, 1880.
The season has been uncommonly un-
healthy, and am sorry to iniora you,
that we have lost considerable number
by death from the Liberia and Montgom-
ery's emigrants; many of these have fall
en- victims to their own imprudcnces.
Mr.. Erskine, after partially recovering
from his fever, contrary to the advice Of
all his friends, would take ajaunt to Mills.
burg: on his return he got wet, which
threw him into relapse, from which he
never recovered.
From the ground which is now under
cultivation, am led to believe, that more
will probably be raised this season than
common. A new spirit is pervading the
community; many begin to think that the
cultiva alton ofthe soil may not be unproft-
able as they have been III the habit OF
thinking. 1t is discovered that all can
not be petty merchants to advantage.
l am sorry to inform you that the A
gcncy schr. Mesurado was rather unior-
tunate in her last trip from Little Cape
Mount Civer. After having effected an
advantageous trade with the natives, and
received on board between 3 and 400
croos of rice, 9 tons ofCamwood, and
some Ivory, in coming out over the Bar,
she was driven OH the beach, lost her an
Chor, had her sails torn to pieces, and
Captain Thomson was under the neces-
sity of throwing overheard upwards of
200 croos of rice, and other articles"
81 hope the Board will adopt some
more ciiectual measure for suppressing
the slave trade within the territory Of Ii
IBERIA. Since the death of Don Miguel
of Bassa, Peter Blanco, Spanish Slave
Trader, for some years resident at the
GalIinas, nas opened slave factory at
Grand Cape Mount. Such thing ought
not to be, as it is only 40 miles from here.
l am sorry to remark that this abomina-
bic traffic is carried on with the utmost
activity all along the coast. Capt. Par
ker during his trading at the Gallinas, of
about three weeks, saw no less than 900
shipped.
Where do they come from' Not
from the vicinity Of the sea coast, but
from the interior, after travelling hun
dreds Of miles. Among the last recap
turcd, are some from the kingdom Of
Haoussa in Soudon, under the authority
