Every thing just now is in our favor. The

We have been, dependent upon England for our

Africa.

"A Liverpool merchant, RoBERr JAMESON, and
a sea-captain, Mr. REcRorr, have done some
thing at last 10 penetrate the interior Of Africa
the first by ohtaiiing the means, the last by
exploration and discovery.

Mr. Becroft, has established the fact, that be-
tween Lerer, bis highest point, and Boussak
Parks lowest. the interior is accessible. Navi-
CATION, up to Timbuctoo, may be considered
safe-at least only forty miles of the river re-
main to be explored. The London Spectator,
speaking of Mr.. Bccroft's enterprise daring
discreet, intelligent, asd far above the trading
| spirit Of the time, says:
The lower Niger and its branches permeatc
an immense delta. containing thousands Of miles
Of rich fertile and wooded country. The un-
healthy climate extends only for limited space
| inwards; and az you ascend the river the health
mess becomes equal to that Of the tropics gen.

warike, rude, yet not destitute of civilization
and eager for trade. On the middle Niger

from the market This prejudice, however,
does not seem to be very powerful; and the trade
which can repay the toilsomc transit across the
continent by land il sure TO reDiunerate traders
who come by the comparatively short and easy
path Of the river.

While my eyesTheir soetness vert
