FROM LIBERIA

We have accounts from Monrova Africa, to the
l1th oil December, which confirm previous intelli-
gence of hostile attacks having been recently made
two of the settlements Of Liberia by bands of The
natives. The leader of the insurrection was chief
called Grando, who, with number of his followers
on the 9th of November sacked and burnt the new
village OF Fishtown, and murdered nine of its inha-
bants. He afterwards induced several other chiefs
to join him, and the 18th of the same month
made desperate attack on Bassa Cove But here
the savages were repulsed without any loss of life on
the part OF the defenders Of the town. Since then no
further depredatlens have been committed, and the
rebel chiefs appeared disposed TO make peace. 1t
would seem however, that before treating with Them
the public authorities of Liberia contemplated, with
view 10 preventing the recurrence of suchd sturb-
ances, nf1lctlng upon them just punishment for
their past reachery These hosiilties are supposed
to have been nstigated by few foreign traders and
President Roberts has issued proclamation inter-
dieting all trade and intercourse with the rebellous
bands.
The Legislature of the Republic commenced its
annual session at Monrova on tle LIST December and
the third day after assembling canvassed the votes
cast at the last election for President and Vice Pres
dent Joseph j. Roberts elected to the former
Office, and Anthony ID. Williams to the latter They
were both forthwith installed for the ensuing two
years.
The Libe,ia Herald confirms the report of the
bomhardment of the forts Johanna by the sloop-of.
war Dale, which returned TO Mesurado on the 11h Of
November.
The Herald states that all the late Immigrants into
the country by the Liberia packet well contened.
They had gone through the accmating process, ard
were convaiecent, without having lost any OF their
number by death.
