termsof the 4 Court, and. answer to a
charge Of purloining sums of money

The AFRICANS of the Arnistad. con-
fined in the jail at New Haven, are
not of the Congo Nation as was first
reported. This fact appears from
their inability to converse with sew
eral of that tribe, sometime resident
at New York, who accompanied some
gentlemen of that citylto N. Haven as
interpreters. They are nov, presnm-
ed to be Mandingoes, from their fre.
quent use Of the word iNandiag when
first spoken to-, and it now appears
that the boy Antonio, who is a Congo,
can converse with them onlyimper4
fectly. One of themhas died in pris-
on since their arrival at New Haven.
He was one Of the leaders in the re-.
volt, and was in feeble condition
when the .Armistad was captured,
They have been decently and comfor-
tably clad, and require nothing but ex-
ercise. "a respectable physician is in
attendance onthe sick, and ieverything
is done for them to meliorateatheir
imprisoned condition. Theysliyellar-
monious together, and Joseph is mild
but moody. The children appear af-
fectionate,. and not unintelli5ent.
Their story is the leading topic Of the
newspaper press just now, through
out the continent, and everybody is
studying ''sarglnaents for lawyers
from the undiscovered boundary of
Down East,' to the jumping off place
of "the Far Vest, from the promon-
tory which stretches towards the e
quatof, to the, frozen rivers Of the
Pole. The arrival Of the ssGreat Yves

Thames, and then all pens will begin
