The Waterman gives an account OF the cxpc-
dition of H. NJ. steamer Albert, 1t. Cockratt,
against Sarah, the King of the Lsndamas, who
was complained of by the British and French
merchants, as guilty OF the most unjust and tyran,
nical exactions. 1t was thought best that al!
should remove their effects out OF the Landamas
territory, and that the river Nunez should be Wig
orousy bockadcd until Sarah should come to 4
good understanding with the merchants. The
blockade was instituted at Ropass, factory be-
longing to Mrs. Proctor and in the territory of
the Naloos, who were then on good terms with
the British and French residents.
The experiment proved successful, and Sarah
engaged to alter his conduct; but in theaiternoon
of the dav on which this was done, an untortur-
ate occurrence took place, which embrolled the
Albert in serious difficulties, and led to some loss
of life. The Naloos took offence that the block
ade should have been instituted without their con-
sent, and sent an armed canoe to break the block
AIDE. The canoe was driven ashore, and was iol-
lowed by all the ships boats, but no bIoodshcd
then occurred On the day after, the Albert pro-
cecdcd to Kassakaboully and battered the town,
the people having all disappeared. The succeed.
ing day, the Albert destroyed small village, and
subsequently the crew attempted to land at Mas
sakaboully. In the attempt, > OF the Aloerl's
men were killed and wounded. Tic command
or of the Albert then despatched messenger to
Sierra Leone for assistance, and large party ol
troops was accordingly despatched by the Gov
ernOr.
Capt Bassctt arrived in the Nnnez, Feb I, but
was unable TO proceed farther than V;ctorla, the
pass at kassakaboully being fortified on both
sides of the river, by the Naloos. That day, how
ever, the steamer Albert came down, lighting her
way through the pass The steamer went back
the same evening, and was fired into by the ma
tvcs. On the llth, destructive battle was
fought at kassakaboully, the Landamas having
ioined the British and defeated the Naloons who
were driven back and their place buraed TO The
ground. The river was opened on the Eth, and
several vessels, among winch was the Elizabeth,
