AFRIcA.-Commodore Perry with three
vessels of war was of Cape Measurable in
the latter part Of November. The Spanish
brig Volant with $50 slaves on board, es-
capped, having outsailed the British and
American cruisers. The Missionaries
we're in good health. An officer of the U.
s. squadron on the African coast reports
that three ofthe vessels composing it, the flag
ship Macedonian, Commodore Perry, the
sloop Saratoga, Commander Tatnall, and
the sloop Decatur, Commander Abbott, have
had some sharp contests with the natives
concerned in the murder OF the crew of the
Mary Carver, about two years ago:
"On the 4th Of December las, the three
vessels met at Monroyis, and after taking
the Governor of Monrovia on board, pro-
ceeded down the coast 10 about 60 or so
miles below Cape Palmas, and on the 18th
landed a force Of 500 officers and men. A
council house was erected on the beach. TO
which on the 18th the African King and his
Interpreter came, attended by his people, all
fully armed, TO hold a p%alaver. The talk"
was very unsatisfactory, and finally the King,
his Interpreter, and the people, turned and
ran, but had not proceeded far, before a vol
ley from the American force killed the King,
his Interpreter, and others. The natives
fled to a jungle, whence they continued for
above an hour to fire upon the Americans
who returned volley for volley, burned their
towns, destoyed their canoes, and then re-
turned to their owl ships. On the follow
ing day the force again landed a few miles
further down, burned FIVE more owns es-
troyed a considerable number of canoes,
&c. In one Of these towns, the Register
of the Mary Carver was found, also a pri-
vate letter belonging to the captain of that
vessel, and others which had clearly belong
ed 10 it, The boats again returned TO the
ships, and few miles further down a treaty
of peace was concluded with another tribe
of Africans. The Saratoga arrived at Ma
deria on the ooh from Monrovia, and Just
before she left the latter place, the Rev.
Mr.. Sawyer, one of the missionaries sta
toned about so miles below Monrovia,
died.
