report of the American Colonization Society,
read at the anniversary meeting in Washington,
on Tuesday evening last, stated that Montgome--
ry Bell, Esq, of nashville, Tenn, had liberated
and sent to Liberia entire family of slaves
consisting of man and his wife, and thirty six
children and grandchildren. The same gentle
man also ready to send about eighty more
slaves, and would give them good outfit, pay
their expenses to the port of embarkatiou, and
one half the mount necessary to transport them
to Liberia and support them there six months.
The Society was anxious to find some generous
friend who would pay the other half $1,000.
The Washington correspondent of the New

been found in the Hon. William Appleton, of
Boston, member ofthe House of Representa-
tives, who present at the annual meeting,
and the next day transmitted note TO the Sec
Rotary of the Society, stating that he would con-
tribute the sum necessary to send the people to
Liberia.
