VERY LATE FROM AFRIoA.-We have received
by the ATLANTA, Capt. Brown, which has arrived in
the Delaware from Sierra Leone, the &c Monrovia
Herald" and "Africa's Luminary," to the 2lst Of
October.
Ii appears that Capt. Brown has had some Difficult
ties with the Saltra Croo people. They made an at
tempt to steal from him, and then endeavored to
take his life, in both of which they tailed 1t il
said the natives are becoming more nsolent and az
gressive every day.
Until the U. S. Government keep one or two
armed vessels on the merchantmen engaged
in the trade must be reduced TO the alternative OF
either abandoning the business or 80 arming thelr
vessels that they can protect themselves from the
barbaratles of the natives. 1t is reported that the
natives of Half Bereby, who heard the Vandaa
was going TO punish them, declared they did
not fear an American man of war-and "should
another unarmed vessel come along, we will take
hat too"
We understand that nothing has yet been eff
fected by cruisers towards the punishment of
savage pirates at Half Bereby who seized the Mary
Carver and murdered the crew.
Capt r. T. Sims of the Rhoderc Dhu, captured
one of the ringleaders who is now in custody at
lodged his participation in the crime, and that he
shared largely in the plumber. Credit is due Capt.
S. for OBTAINING the culprit and the readiness he
showed in furnishing the evidence in his power.
The documents to be sent to the Secretary OF State,
were brought by the ATLANTA.
Capt. B. reports that the steamer Wiberforce,
one OF the three which attempted the ascent of the
Niger, touched at Palmas about 1st of Oct.
The extravagant waste of life and money conse-
quent upon the manner in which that expedition
fitted out and supplied with officers and men is
a Lesson which will teach the English government
and people when they wish to penetrate this conf
neat, they must employ those who have resided
more or less in this climate. The Wilberforce was
carrying home the last remnant of the expedition,
and IN year or two the far-famed Niger Expe-
dition' will be remembered only by those whose
husbands and brothers lie buried or murdered on
the banks cf the river and at Fernando Po while
unnterested persons will speak Of it as among the
things that were" We learn that the two young
men who joined the Albert at this place were on
board and that not one of the colored men attached
TO the expedition died of fever-showlng that had
the first design been pursued of employing experien-
cedmerchant captains, and intelligent c0lored men
from Sierra Leone and the other colonies along the
coast-he enterprise would not have failed from the
same cause.
